It would probably bet better to call pest control experts.

I don't think there's a pesticide around strong enough to counter the venom Trump spews daily.

No. He knows how humiliating that would be. Difficult to play act the eternal "winner" in such a scene.

I listened to the recording. Trump is putting pressure on this guy and is basically strong arming him. This is illegal by Georgia law related to elections. This guy is getting very desperate as he sees jail looming in his future. What a scum. Why did we go from Obama to a sleazy talk show host...who is a lot like Reagan and that other sleaze Nixon. Of course he cares not one whit because when you are a sociopath you care about only one thing, yourself. Put this Bum in prison for crimes against humanity. People dying in their thousands and he is still lying.

The reason I now must state when asked my country of origin, “I was born in the US but have spent a decade outside the country” in order to distance myself. I can not defend nor protect the country where 74 million reject what I believe is the essence of being an American. I owe it to my forbearers not to denounce my citizenship although if Canada offered a clear exchange I would seriously consider.

Interesting. I hadn't real thought that through but when asked I usually do similar.

American but I haven't lived there for over a decade. Saying you're Canadian is so last century.

I wonder "Why Georgia?" Even if he gets their electoral votes, Biden still wins.

 

Could it be he's trying to destroy the GOP? Is he trying to kill the GOP hopefuls in the runoff election?

Well, you assume he placed only one call......

This tape seems like an example of Trump in general. You have to ask yourself if he is actually dumb and believes the conspiracy theories or if he knows they are bogus and is just really making a threat.

But he seems smart enough to  possibly not cross the line into having actually committed a crime.  

So as normal you ask:

Is Trump just dumb, or a bit corrupt and a bit dumb, or corrupt and smart. Either way it's a bad outcome for Team Trump. 

I think we should be thinking seriously about mental health issues , on the face of it he has completely lost the plot.

Add a little more than 70 million to that opinion and you have a divided, nearly half deluded America.

 It seems that  a majority in that number do not care about law or ethics. They are well aware of trump character and misdeeds, but have chosen to support such a  person. That speaks to American character. 

 

The USA no longer has the moral position to criticize any other government because it is no better than many it has criticized in the past.

Worse than Watergate.

And do people in America continue to donate to their favorite "stop the steal" charity ? 

And now that Trump is the Kingmaker, what could possibly go wrong in America?

I had a look at OANN and  Newsmax. After that, I have no doubt the usual suckers will continue to donate.

When he's out of office, and if he is free to travel out of his domicile (wherever that may be) we'll see if the images of him tooling around in his private jet will having any impact on the people who punch a timeclock.

This message has been tested by their marketing agency. If they do it, it's because it generates a better rate of positive responses than others! Some people are born suckers!

Yeah, I remember asking guys wearing Maple Leaf tee shirts where they are from every second one would say Virginia, Colorado, Washington State......... When I asked why the Canadian wear they would say their granny, father or distant cousin 6th removed were from Canada. It got to the point I was scared to go to my regular barber on Soi Arab in case the locals thought I was a yank  masquerading as a Canadian. The fortunate thing was that they usually forgot to throw in a few ehs in conversation so they unmasked themselves.

My thoughts since he was voted in. It doesn't matter what he does, what he says or how many laws he breaks, they still support him. I remember the first time I saw him speaking on TV, I thought he had no chance of winning the 2016 election and discounted him - he just seemed like a total idiot. That he was ever elected brings human rationality in to question.  However, populists often surface during hard times - its far easier to get people on their side.  The fact that Trump's campaign started during the worst recession in living memory was no coincidence - even if the US was well on its way out of it.

 

The damage Trump must have done to US society is surely massive? I wouldn't know, I'm not American but if the damage he's done to the US's image around the world is anything to go by, Biden has a hell of a lot of work to do.

Trump's campaign may have begun when he started supporting the Obama birther conspiracy theory nonsense, but he declared himself a candidate years after the US had pulled out of the worst recession since 1930's.  The economy was doing well.

 

Trump insisted the economic numbers that showed the economy doing well under Obama were fake, then insisted the same numbers were real when they made him look good.  His base accepted this blatant lying without question.  There is something very wrong with those people.

‘I wanted to scream.’ Georgia election official voices his exhaustion with Trump’s baseless fraud claims.

 

Gabriel Sterling, a top election official in Georgia, delivered a scathing refutation on Monday of President Trump’s false claims of voter fraud, running through a long list of already-debunked conspiracy theories and systematically debunking each one again...

Among many other false claims, Mr. Trump and his lawyers have claimed that thousands of votes were cast in Georgia by people who were under 18, weren’t registered to vote, registered late, or registered with a P.O. box instead of a residential address. The secretary of state’s office investigated the claims, Mr. Sterling said, and did not find a single ballot cast by anyone in any of those categories.

So allowing/encouraging/accepting that 350,000 people have died from a virus is helping to make America great again?

 

And by the way the man hasn't achieved that and has made no progress towards that aim, and has divided his country and made his country a laughing stock.
