There isn’t a low as far as Trump is concerned.
There isn’t a lie he wont say.

My question is: Why did Biden call me that, who is “us”, and who is “they”? You’ll have to excuse me now folks, I have to cry in my beer. . sob…

God. Will this be over soon? I guess I get to brag to my grandchilluns that I survived the WORST Presidency in HISTORY.

As well as the BEST presidency in history.

For real and people are right on board with believing it and repeating it with all seriousness. Both sides of the aisle. Trump is genius at controlling the messaging. He knows how ignorant and gulls now people are.

Take Trump saying at a speech “suburban women please like me.” Pretty much every Democrat I know thinks Trump saying that is some sort of awful display of his narcissism. The guy is a narcissist, but he said it when most of the media is saying suburban women are going to defect from supporting him. It’s not newsworthy what he said. WTH hell is the big deal about saying that? I don’t see it.

@Nomore_lockout I think it’s you! :-)

That’s a joke but I’m honestly not getting any of the real junk email you are getting. I was getting a lot asking for money but when I’d given all I wanted to those I wanted to, unsubscribing has really helped.

However, when I watch commercial TV – which is rare – I am disgusted by the juvenile level of the ads for New York local candidates.

I think we’ll all be glad – or maybe even more dismayed – when it’s all over. I’m trying to keep the noise level about it down in my head and not pay attention to every poll or thing each candidate has said.

It’s been an 11 on the dial for a long time.

I wish our election cycle was much shorter as it is in other countries!

Trump has been ridiculous pretty much non-stop, even before he was elected in 2016.

Remember the Trump versus Trump debate ?

I regularly get crazy numbers of absolutely rabid and/or idiotic emails from pro-Trump groups written as the words of Trump or his family. I don’t know why I’m on their “STRONGEST SUPPORTERS” email list. They probably have my email from me writing a protest email and them not reading it, and also not reading the various replies I sent telling them how stupid they were.

Examples:

I have led the BIGGEST and FASTEST Financial Recovery in History. Next year will be even BETTER unless Sleepy Joe and Phony Kamala take the White House. They’ve promised to raise your taxes by $4 TRILLION – in which case, the economy that I’ve rebuilt would CRASH.
But, the Liberal media refuses to tell the truth about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ CORRUPT agenda – they want to TRICK the American People into voting for them. THEY WOULD DESTROY OUR NATION!
We can’t let them get away with this. My team just launched a new ad to FIGHT BACK against their biased coverage and EXPOSE the TRUTH about what this Liberal duo would do to our economy.
The American People deserve to know what they’d be getting into if they elect Sleepy Joe and Phony Kamala. That’s why your support is so important right now, Zaku.
We need to make sure we FLOOD the airwaves with our new ad, which is why I’m calling on my best supporters to help raise $2,000,000 by 11:59 PM TONIGHT. When you step up, your gift will even be 800%-MATCHED.

Here’s the TRUTH.
The Fake News media is vicious.
I knew they would try and twist the truth about my interview on 60 Minutes with Lesley Stahl – who wasn’t wearing a mask while she was in the White House – so I released an unedited preview of it so the American People could get the FACTS.
You’ll see how ANGRY she is with her constant interruptions, compared to my full, flowing, and “magnificently brilliant” answers to their questions.
It’s obvious the Radical Left is working hand-in-hand with the Lamestream media. They will LIE and CHEAT and do whatever it takes to get Joe Biden elected. It’s disgusting.

Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the Radical Left are trying to STEAL this Election.
The media will write fake stories and use bogus suppression polls in an attempt to deter you from voting. Big Tech will censor the President and his supporters. It’s happening every day, and it’s all in an effort to TAKE US DOWN. We can’t let them win, Zaku.
We’ve got 10 DAYS until Election Day and my father needs your help if we’re going to CRUSH the competition. The only way to ensure victory over Sleepy Joe and Phony Kamala is if we have the resources to beat them, and we can’t do it without you.
The President is relying on his STRONGEST supporters right now, which is why FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, he’s agreed to increase your impact by 900% on your next gift.
The truth is, we won’t win without you, Zaku. Will you step up?

BREAKING: PRESIDENT TRUMP CASTS BALLOT TODAY
Zaku,
This is important.
President Trump has cast his ballot today. The Democrats and Fake News are going to stoop to levels we’ve never seen before to try to STEAL the Election. Our only line of defense is YOU, and it’s time to step up.

BREAKING: BIDEN CALLS TRUMP SUPPORTERS “CHUMPS”

@Zaku Glad I’m not the only one that got that. Thought maybe I had slipped off into some alternate reality where I was a MAGA moron, LOL

Zaku's avatar

Yeah. It’d be hilarious if there weren’t a significant number of fools in our country who actually align with it.

Did you get the one a few weeks ago with the subject: “Trump is TOUGH”? Fortunately I wasn’t drinking anything when I read that. It’d be all over the wall. So pathetically ridiculous.

Aster's avatar

I’m sure it’ll come as great news to many Dems that the jokes, exaggerations, cornball humor and name calling will most likely be over in a few days since the polls show Sleepy Biden is winning. Therefore, the stock market is , as of today October 30, tanking badly according to Fox News. Enjoy K Harris as your new POTUS because that’s what’s going to happen according to the polls . The party’s over. Bring in the political brains.

Nomore_lockout's avatar

@Aster Fox “News” doesn’t carry a lot of weight with me.

Nomore_lockout's avatar

@Dutchess_III I always refer to Fox as “Republican Propaganda Network”.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

Fox news is the worst fake news of them all.

Nomore_lockout's avatar

@SQUEEKY2 Amen to that, can I get a hallelujah Brother Squeeky?

Zaku's avatar

Well, there is OAN

John Oliver takes on OAN: ‘Fox News with even less shame and even fewer scruples’

Nomore_lockout's avatar

@Zaku. Great stuff, thanks for posting that : )

Aster's avatar

Fox News said the stock market was awful. So; that was untrue? I don’t think so. Temporary, though.
