You can't withdraw from politics, only choose to ignore it. It is an exercise of denial to believe that you can simply look away and political struggle will disappear.

Whoops, that response sounded too reasonable.

Ahem, "ree! privilege!"

This was a response to a book detailing how Pence was on standby while Trump made his unexpected visit last November to the facility, which we still know little about. He also said "Perhaps they are referring to another candidate from another Party!", referring to Biden likely. However, what's raising eyebrows (and mine too!) is the fact that the book doesn't even mention mini-strokes or strokes of any kind. So I have no clue why- well, I do, but I won't speculate on that.

My immediate thought was that he's saying the quiet part out loud again. He had a series of mini-strokes, but he's so defensive about it he does what Trump usually does: Attempt to get on the offensive by denying what he thought someone would expose.

No-one we know of, anyway. Could be someone Trump didn't really know, got into the Oval Office saying he was from Mitch O'Connell's office. Chatted for a while, dropped "those Democrats eh? Saying you had that, you know. Is a 'mini' stroke even a thing?"

And now Trump's thinking "Actually who was that? Were they even a Republican?" :lol:

Sometimes you guys are a meme.

“Let them send it in and let them go vote,” Trump said in an interview with WECT-TV in Wilmington, North Carolina, on Wednesday when asked about the security of mail-in votes. “And if the system is as good as they say it is then obviously they won’t be able to vote” in person.

It's him shitting on mail in voting again, because mail in voting sucks and should be as limited as possible.

Yes. Very obviously yes. I don't know how you can expect us to believe that when Trump is going around saying that voting by mail is fine in states that he expects to vote for him but bad everywhere else, your read on that is "He thinks voting by mail is bad".

It's almost like he expects Democrats to abuse the system where they have control of the Bureaucracy or something. I wonder why. Could it be that Democrats regularly use their position in the Bureaucracy to cheat?

"Shitting on" the system that, without him doing so, would be the preferred choice of about half of voters.

That's pretty much equivalent to him shitting on the voters themselves.

For the most part no. Not when voting repeatedly sees us with less rights and wealth than before.

Trump was registered as a Democrat for years and regularly donated to Democrats. The only problem he has with Democrats is that he's a Republican at the moment.
