Trump gets his timing a little F'ed up yet again as during his recent visit to India, he praises PM Narendra Modi for his work toward providing "religious freedom", while at the very same time some ten miles away Hindus and Muslims are fighting and killing each other. The tension was over Modi's new CAB law (Citizenship Amendment Bill) which essentially takes away the rights of ~200 million Muslim's from becoming citizens.
I guess no real surprise here since he admits he also loves Fat Kim.

India is home to 200 million Muslims. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they have faced mounting threats to their status in the majority-Hindu country. And on Wednesday, they were walloped by a new worrisome development: The upper house of India’s Parliament passed the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB).

The "Commander-in-Tweet" seems to be now pooping his pants since "Mini Mike" an actual billionaire, has thrown his support behind "Sleepy Joe", an actual experienced politician. His latest tweet storm shows his ire where he also takes a shot at Tim O'brien who worked for the 'Mini Mike" campaign. He was the guy if you recall who Trump tried to sue after he pointed out that Trump was worth nowhere near what he claimed, and of course the suit failed. I'm sure all this will keep Donny up nights concocting even more nicknames for his adversaries.

   " President Trump also singles out a Bloomberg campaign adviser, Tim O’Brien, whom Trump unsuccessfully sued for libel over a decade ago.
    But Trump’s taunts ignore the potential impact Bloomberg’s billions could have on the 2020 presidential race if he decides to help bankroll the Democratic nominee with an outside spending group"

And of course we now see the nepotism emerging from the Trump swamp shithole. Is anybody surprised? Probably noone with a brain in their head.

That country is, sadly, on a trajectory to becoming a shithole.  Their leaders are now fully invested in driving the country down... their poor choices will soon bring them doom - it's can't NOT have an effect.  They had excellent leaders for most of the 20th century, now clowns.

Just watching clips of Donny during his current visit at the CDC. Of course he chose to wear one of his "gag me" hats. His total lack of focus indicated that either he is pissed off at not being the center of attention, he doesn't really give a fiddly arse ****, or his dementia is continuing to deepen. Probably more likely a combination of all three.

Trump says today during his visit at the CDC that "perhaps I should have taken over this instead of running for POTUS" When did this idiot become an infectious disease doctor? He claims he's an expert. Can Americans not see that his head is completely ****?

I saw it too.

You really should stop watching him.  I cut back drastically on US news so when I check in, his decline is noticeable from Last Time I watched.

I decided to not pay attention until Bernie is president. So today I will spend listening to a lot of McCoy Tyner's (RIP) excellent block chords, particularly those from the JC4.

I am reluctant to make predictions, but it's starting to look like Trump beats Biden in November   :-\

I think Bernie's chances of becoming President are fairly low, Joe will most likely get the nomination.

Apparently Joe just racked up $22 mil. in the last 5 days so it seems his support is building. Bernie not so much, plus he seems to have gone into attack mode against Joe, while Joe is taking the high road of suggesting the campaign should not move toward tearing the party apart. Now, as I've said before , I hope he picks the right running mate.

He has the best chance to dump trump. That makes him a great candidate.

Ummm.... why? And compared to whom?

(Assuming your goal is to see Trump defeated.)

Lets compare Biden with Sanders:

- Currently, in head-to-head matchups, Biden beats Trump by 6.4%... Sanders beats Trump by 5%. Both are polling better than Trump, but Biden has a slight advantage. (Even when the Democratic field was more crowded, Biden usually had the best polling numbers among Democratic candidates.)

- Biden appears to be polling very well among minorities (a group that heavily supported Obama, but sometimes sat out of the 2016 election.)

- On average, moderate candidates tend to do better during elections than more 'extreme' politicians (both because they can appeal to middle-of-the-road voters, and because they tend to depress people voting for the opposition.)

- He appeals well to older voters who, like it or not, are more reliable voters than younger ones.

Now, I admit, I do dislike Biden's age, and I'm sure the Republicans will certainly attack him on that. But then, the only other Candidate with any real support is Sanders, and he's got a ton of skeletons in his closet too.

Overall, I probably would have preferred someone like Booker, or Klobuchar, or even Warren... but Biden does appear to be well-positioned to take on Trump.

I hate to pull an Omni here....   but the only way to avoid catastrophe in the USA is If Trump is pushed aside and ignored by those who are in charge of the safety aspects, or he’s “incapacitated” in some way.   He’s going to be the death of hundreds of thousands if his “plan” to get everyone acting as if nothing is wrong by Easter actually happens.

Canada needs to be buying its food from central/South America immediately, so we can shut the border and still have a food supply.  I wonder if Canada has any sort of contingencies that don’t involve the USA....?   Probably not.



I sound like a doomsdayer....
