There once was a trumpanzee named Kris
who prayed that trumps *** he could kiss
He was born an ugly runt
grew up a whiny ****
who spends every day being p****d
There was an old hippy called Bill
Who's Limericks were really Brill
Unlike mine

I heard this morning that a reporter at the Post has fact-checked Trumps various statements over the past years and has discovered that he has lied over 20,000 times. Then I thought to myself, where did that reporter get the time to fact-check 20,000 lies. That is real dedication. He needs a life. Personally, I just assume that everything Trump says is either a lie or at least an exaggeration.

The trouble with ignorance is that it picks up confidence as it goes along.

'Let there be light: and there was light'
The Corona Virus thread, like a miracle, has reopened.
Mr President, about the latest corona virus numbers..
“That’s a nahsty question from you. Why is it you have to ask these questions? You’re fake noos, your paper is fake noos, and like nobody READS any more, you know that right? So why with the questions? We’re doing great and avoiding the numbers but my numbers are great and we’re still number one and Joe has nothing. He just hides in his bunker, well not a bunker but an office, but like a bunker, but mine is better…oh so much better. It’s a better bunker I like to say, ok? Better bunker. Its deep, too, deeper than anyone’s bunker and I go there – naht to hide but I like to TWEET in private, like with Jeffrey. I miss Jeffrey, but he was a great and true friend and we had such a great time and the parties and you know we weren’t really that close. Like I hardly knew him and the FBI, they did a great job, but he was like, ok in a not so ok way of ok, but the FBI – great Americans – and they, sure, they got him on a few things but nobody’s perfect. But like, now I’m the President, see? And that’s why I like to TWEET, but I’m not hiding down there, and they bring me peanuts anytime I say “Peanuts”. I just have to, that’s all I have to do I just say out loud “PEANUTS” and they bring them, so that’s nice.
I wish I could have Andrew down there – did you see his daughter got married? That’s one who got away, but we’re not that close either, I think I only met him the one time. Maybe it was with Jeffrey, maybe not but you know that Island, oh on the island, we had a great time and the weather – they have that weather like its almost Flarida weather with the pools and the golf courses and they have these haht young girls on the island, Jeffrey does, or did, but you know they work there right? They like to come to the island to work, in peace, and nobody can hear them scream because they wouldn’t try to get away and they can get their passports back any time, its nice there, so I go there a lot and that’s where I meet up with Andrew – for business, right? Just good friends and nice weather and the girls, but you know, they’re much older than they look so its ok. But I don’t know Andrew, maybe I met him once, I think I saw him once in London. But I don’t go there. I like a suit and Andrew tells me “Wear a suit, it’s the city”, but I’ve never been to London, ok?
You there, on the left, go ahead"
Mr President, we’re hearing that you and Mr Epstein..
“Epstein? I don’t know any Jeffrey. Next question."
REPORTER: Mr Trump, the election is less than 100 days away -
POTUS: That's right it is less than 100. Mike told me its 93, but you know I took that test, right? The one with the numbers and the elephant. And I did good, real well. SO I know these numbers under 100, ok? I know them and Mike and I practiced and so I can tell you, or show you or say those numbers and they are real. SO when we were at 100, right and that was, like 10 or fifteen days ago, but we were at 100. And now its Argust, ok, and its the 2nd. So I like to call that 8-2. Thats 8 for Argust and like the 2 is for...well...so it is the 2. So then 8-2, I know this one, I went to M.I.T., or could have, but they were full that day so I went to Wharton and that makes, lets see 8-2 is 6, right, so August, now is 6.
And the election, Mike - when is THAT? Oh, so its in November - the THIRD, its a Tuesday this year - so about 150 days, but so lets see... ANd I'm good at this , you saw me on FOX, right? The ratings, they were some of the biggest ratings ever. Much bigger than Biden's ratings and the doctors - you saw that, too, right? - they told me after I picked the elephant (and there were 4 animals, so it was hard, see?) but I picked the elephant and that's when they told me "Mr Trump" they said "Mr Trump you really are a super brain".
So in November, lets call it 11-3, so that's like 8. So first we had 100 about a week ago and now its 93, but Argust is 6, right and November - thats when the election is gonna happen. I don't like the postal votes, unless they are for me. If the postal votes go to Hilary or Biden or Pocahontas, then that's fake right, so corrupt. BIG WORD. CORRupt. Its like cheating, unless they are for me and then it is KLEEN. Like the disinfectant, so supposing we could, like through an injection or almost a cleaning stop the postal votes. Mike, could we look into that?
SO with the 100 and the 93 or less, and the 8 and the 6. That's a laht. Tremendous numbers, and I'm a super brain. Make America Grate Again.
“As far as TikTok is concerned, we’re banning them from the United States... Soon, immediately. I mean essentially immediately. Or fast, like real fast. I can do that. I have the authority. After the Apprentice, I can make an EX-EC-U-Tive order. ORDER. I can do that, coz I'm the President and you're not. So, like in the round Office they have a big book - huge - and I lean on that and they give me a sharpie and I write my name and Tik Tok goes bye-bye. Bye-bye, bing bing bing no more Tik Tok."
"I don't like it, the Tik Tok. Its from CHIIINA, but maybe its MicroSOft, but not USA, ok, just maybe MicroSoft but I don't like it and so they'll be out. O - U - T-out, and we're looking into that and I'll be writing my name on the piece of paper tomorrow, or maybe the day after, or like tomorrow. ANd its nothing. Tik Tok - I don't like the sound of that. Its everywhere and I can't sleep when I hear it. I don't wear a watch, ok? Well I wear one, but I don't look at it. I have one on here, no, not that wrist, it must be the other one. Yeah, that one. I knew it was that one before anybody knew it. The left. I don't like the left either.But good people, both sides, but I have the watch, but only so I know which hand for my golf glove. I love golf, and I have the courses. You should see them down there. I don't play much any more, what with running the free world so like I only play a couple or maybe a few times a week, but just a half day at a time, in case they want me to write my name on a piece of paper and then they say "Mr President", they say that, they do "Mr President, we need you to write your name here and here and here to save the world and Make America Grate AGain". Tremendous people. We have the best people."
"ANd they give me a sharpie but I don't like the clocks, the noise, like I don't like it it echoes in my head, like there's nothing inside so I'm banning it. Digital is ok, Ok? Maybe with the red numbers, or green, green numbers are ok, because those clarks are quiet and I can read those DIG-I-tal clarks because they have numbers and I don't like the hands on clarks either, even though my hands are big. Big hands, right? Look at how big my hands are I'll show you real close how big they are, but I don't like the clarks with hands. SO I got myself a new, quiet clark with the red numbers. Its made by WAH-WAY, they call it Hi-five-G."

The Pending Rude Awakening
At some point even the duly hypnotized will be facing the fact the GOP is selling them down the river as fast as possible. The GOP’s agenda is always to funnel wealth towards the top while putting on a charade of false care for anything else. The so-called ‘social conservative values’ are just a ruse to garner votes in a democracy when you only represent 20 percent of the population. Evangelicals bought it hook, line and sinker—81% voted for Trump. Like Trump’s inane tweets they apparently view “whatever you do for the least of these you do for me”…”turn the other cheek”…”blessed are the peacemakers” and “blessed are the merciful” as not to be taken literally.
Trump Care, the proposed Border Adjustment Tax and reduction of the highest marginal tax rate to 30 percent benefit the wealthy massively. Surprise, the highest marginal tax rate when our interstate highway system was built was 92 percent. The GOP is pushing for 30 percent. You’re still banking on trickle down? Once fooled, twice shamed? The coup de grace is percolating now in a plan to undermine how our 80-year-old Social Security program is funded paving the way to incrementally undo the New Deal—and Republicans are salivating.
You loved it when tough guy Trump whined that political correctness had run amok, remember? I couldn’t agree more: if you’re in the middle class on down and voted for these people consider yourselves ‘useful idiots’. There, no more PC.

National Postal Service warns 46 states their voters could be disenfranchised by delayed mail-in ballots
Anticipating an avalanche of absentee ballots, the U.S. Postal Service recently sent detailed letters to 46 states and D.C. warning that it cannot guarantee all ballots cast by mail for the November election will arrive in time to be counted — adding another layer of uncertainty ahead of the high-stakes presidential contest.
The letters sketch a grim possibility for the tens of millions of Americans eligible for a mail-in ballot this fall: Even if people follow all of their state’s election rules, the pace of Postal Service delivery may disqualify their votes.

Dictators, and narcissists w/ dictator aspirations, always exploit government power (when they own it) wherever possible in order to keep themselves in power. ALL respectable, honorable, true patriots in his early administration were summarily dismissed by Trump as you well know. What is left are those who will not oppose him, and so continue to help execute his vision (of narcisssitic self-fullfilment) uncontested. Look who he just put into Post Master General, Louis Dejoy:
"In a letter to postal workers on August 13, 2020, DeJoy confirmed reports of delays in mail delivery, and called the delays “unintended consequences” of changes that eventually would improve service.[26] At the same time that DeJoy was taking measures that slowed down mail delivery, President Trump admitted in a TV interview that he was blocking funds for the postal service in order to hinder mail-in voting.[27]"
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump frankly acknowledged Thursday that he’s starving the U.S. Postal Service of money in order to make it harder to process an expected surge of mail-in ballots, which he worries could cost him the election.
In an interview on Fox Business Network, Trump explicitly noted two funding provisions that Democrats are seeking in a relief package that has stalled on Capitol Hill. Without the additional money, he said, the Postal Service won’t have the resources to handle a flood of ballots from voters who are seeking to avoid polling places during the coronavirus pandemic.
“If we don’t make a deal, that means they don’t get the money,” Trump told host Maria Bartiromo. “That means they can’t have universal mail-in voting; they just can’t have it.”
Yes, he passed his uber-remedial dementia test, but the idiot doesn't even know when to shut up when it might serve him well. He's counting on the Unites States of Stupid to fall for it over and over and over.
There's no deal to be had, it looks like they have effectively gimped the US Postal Service as the DOJ and Congress stand down, forcing millions to the polls in a Pandemic,,!!

The title of the presentation, as well as language used in the notice to union officials, undermines the Postal Service’s narrative that the organization is simply “mov[ing] equipment around its network” to optimize processing, as spokesperson Dave Partenheimer told Motherboard on Thursday. The May document clearly calls the initiative an “equipment reduction.” It makes no mention of the machines being moved to other facilities. And the notice to union officials repeatedly uses the same phrase. Multiple sources within the postal service told Motherboard they have personally witnessed the machines, which cost millions of dollars, being destroyed or thrown in the dumpster. USPS did not respond to a request for comment.

Michael Cohen offers a glimpse of upcoming Trump book
Michael Cohen released the foreword of his upcoming book on Thursday, teasing what he claims is a behind-the-scenes exposé of his acts as President Donald Trump's fixer -- from stiffing contractors on a business deal to lying about extra-marital affairs to the President's attempts to "insinuate himself into the world of President Vladimir Putin."
"I know where the skeletons are buried because I was the one who buried them," Cohen wrote in the foreword, which was published Thursday on a website for his tell-all book "Disloyal: A Memoir. The true story of the former personal attorney to President Donald J. Trump."
"In some ways, I knew him better than even his family did because I bore witness to the real man, in strip clubs, shady business meetings, and in the unguarded moments when he revealed who he really was: a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a bully, a racist, a predator, a con man," Cohen wrote in the 3,700-word release.
Bipartisan Senate report details Trump campaign contacts with Russia in 2016, adding to Mueller findings
The report is all the more remarkable because it was led by then-Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr, a North Carolina Republican, and Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia. The report provides an exhaustive, bipartisan confirmation of the contacts between Russians and Trump associates in 2016 -- and it was the only congressional committee that managed to avoid the partisan infighting that plagued the other congressional investigations into Russian election meddling.
Among the key findings:
That then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort was working with Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian intelligence officer, and sought to share internal campaign information with Kilimnik. The committee says it obtained "some information suggesting Kilimnik may have been connected" to Russia's 2016 hacking operation and concludes Manafort's role on the campaign "represented a grave counterintelligence threat."
That Trump and senior campaign officials sought to obtain advance information on WikiLeaks' email dumps through Roger Stone, and that Trump spoke to Stone about WikiLeaks, despite telling the special counsel in written answers he had "no recollections" that they had spoken about it.
That information offered at the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting "was part of a broader influence operation" from the Russian government, though there's no evidence Trump campaign members knew of it. Two of the Russians who met with Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Manafort had "significant connections" to the Russian government, including Russian intelligence, and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya's ties were "far more extensive and concerning than what had been publicly known."
That Russian-government actors continued until at least January 2020 to spread disinformation about Russia's election interference, and that Manafort and Kilimnik both sought to promote the narrative that Ukraine, and not Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
That Russia took advantage of the Trump transition team's inexperience and opposition to Obama administration policies "to pursue unofficial channels," and it's likely that Russian intelligence services and others acting on the Kremlin's behalf exploited the Transition's shortcomings for Russia's advantage.
That the FBI may have been victim to Russian disinformation coming through intelligence sources such as the Trump dossier author Christopher Steele.
And that campaigns, political leaders and other influential Americans must be even more diligent in the future not to fall victim to Russian interference, given the extent of Russia's efforts and successes to reach campaign operatives in 2016.
