TFG's meltdown amuses me
Link to tweet
In a powerful speech at Statuary Hall on Wednesday, one of the very spots where a pro-Trump mob ran amok a year ago, Biden took off the gloves after a year of largely ignoring Trump.
"The former president of the United States of America has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election," Biden said, alluding to Trump's repeated false claim that the election was stolen from him through fraud -- an assertion that many Republicans still embrace.
"He's done so because he values power over principle, because he sees his own interest as more important than his country's interest," Biden said.
I am not going to cut and paste TFG's amusing but sad comments. The fact that TFG is so upset is all that matters

(4,190 posts)Trump is in his mid 70s and not in the best of health. Hitler was in his early 40s when he became Chancellor so he had (potentially) much more time to be in office.

(46,918 posts)election apparatus and passing laws to the effect they don't have to follow federal law.
So the balkanization of the US has begun and doesn't need Trump to proceed.
The battle is going to be state by state.

(9,110 posts)Though a vast majority of Americans are clueless on what it means. And do they even know that it's the endgame? Putin wants it. I guess that's enough for Tucker & Co.
The American Federal Communications Commission is totally asleep at the wheel. It needs to be re-engaged on our number one problem - fake news. Or better yet resign. Then start over with a new mission statement.

(8,810 posts)According to Marla Maples?, one of his former wives.......She said he kept Hitler's writings on his bedside table and thought Hitler was brilliant....
Being a narcissist, it's no small wonder he would plagiarize things Hitler said and present them as his own thinking........
He and Melanoma are well documented plagiarists..........

(2,254 posts)Hitler's propaganda minister made that comment.
"These radical leftists in Washington care NOTHING for American Democracy," said Trump. "All they care about is control over you, and wealth and riches for themselves. But they are failing. No one believes them anymore. And the day is quicky [sic] coming when they will be overwhelmingly voted out of power. Joe Bidens voice is now the voice of desperation and despair. His handlers gave him that speech to read yesterday because they know the unprecedented failures of his presidency and the left-wing extremism of the Pelosi-Schumer Congress have destroyed the Democrat Party."
All that exactly describes Trump and the former GOP Party. Amazing...

(22,112 posts)tired of the republican scumbags trying to sugarcoat the disgusting overrunning of Congress last 1/6/21, and then pretending that it was tourists, it didn't happen, etc. when it was the majority of rump's thugs who had just got done listening to his latest whining at the WH, and then came down to the Capital building afterwards. It was all planned that way. Nail every one of them including rump, to the wall, and don't ever allow them to ever vote or run for another office again.
Irish_Dem
(46,918 posts)And their leaders are all disciplined enough to parrot the talking points.
We need a concerted truth campaign, and I think Biden just kicked it off.
L. Coyote
(51,129 posts)There likely has been a very calculated strategy to allow the major insurrectionists time to incriminate themselves while their every e-mail, phone call, etc. was collected, a purposeful effort to not alarm them into a defensive posture while evidence was being accumulated. Hubris is a very useful thing when investigating someone like #FailedCoupGuy, the ego makes him feel he is beyond reach of the law and his very own words can then do him in.

DENVERPOPS
(8,810 posts)is one of the points on the Republican Platform...........especially when they are getting ready to do something and want to pre-accuse the Dem's of doing it to put the Dem's on the defense........
The Republican's have mastered this and used it for decades and the Dems have never figured out a way to stop their tactic......

(115,674 posts)And that was an intentional bit of psyops. Why is calling TFG a loser useful politically? Because nobody likes a sore loser. Most of us probably remember playing games when we were little kids, and having hissy fits if we lost. And then a parent comes along and reprimands you and reminds you to stop being a baby and that nobody likes a sore loser. So we all grow up with that idea that being a loser isn't such a bad thing; you just try again - but even Republicans were taught as kids that being a sore loser means you're a whiny baby nobody likes. That's psyops. That's how you get to TFG's fans; even they don't like whiny baby losers. Whining about losing just shows how weak he is.

(50,554 posts)Trump claims "the Democrats cannot sustain the preposterous fabrications about January 5 much longer." Please notice the date. To the rest of the world, January 6 was when the attack was. January 5 is when Trump's people were making their final preparations...like having his congressmen and congresswomen give guided tours to insurrectionists. In the Army we called this activity "reconnaissance and surveillance."
Trump also claims "They are trying to BAN voter ID and other basic measures that can ensure the sacred integrity of the vote." I know that several people have been arrested for either voting in two different places, like the residents of The Villages in Florida, or voting dead relatives' absentee ballots. Problem is, all those illegal votes were cast for Donald Trump.
Deal with this, America: until the Disgraced, Defeated, Useless, Worthless, Two-Timing, Double-Impeached Bag of Fertilizer either dies of natural causes, gets whacked by one of his creditors, self-deports or takes up residence in the Fort Hood Stockade, we're going to be treated to a tirade like this every time someone says anything bad about him.

With his Covid weakened organ, or whatever that organ is there in place of a heart, he will die well before fall elections. Stroke out and die on the golden toilet with fried chicken in hand, and aderal in his nose.

Tommymac
(7,263 posts)HE HATES IT.
I think he hates being the butt of jokes more then he would be chastised by a prison term.
Typical narcissist.
And by extension, his supporters hate being made fun of too.
So keep making fun of him every chance you get - on Social Media, in bars, in the car, at the ballgame, at the casino, shopping...
We all can do our part.

They may not let him see them.
But it will effect daily operations there. Keep them from their usual routines. Might make some people quit working there.
Can we make it an action item on DU?
We could also find out the address where his supporters send snail mail donations and flood it with empty envelopes. They have to check them all. Put monopoly money in the envelopes you send. Anyplace we can get fake Russian Bank notes?

If you see the tweets just reply that he lost. Tell him to get some psychiatric help.
I've also pointed out benefits of forced retirement.
Used the word lost, loser, lose, defeated, beat, often, like Biden did yesterday.
