He powered through those horns honking. I would have gone down there and flipped the cars over. He also nailed the repealing of Obamacare. There is no Republican replacement plan, other than private insurance, and I've never understood why that point isn't front and center more.

Edit : now I feel that I need to reply to the people following. I leapt through in five minute bursts to see what he was talking about, and stopped if it was interesting. The whole thing took about seven minutes that way. I have that awesome power. Also, his followers are idiots for honking a horn in appreciation. Maybe they also landed a hot girl that way, I don't know.

Not a good idea to beat the hell out of people applauding you

When I see “this, this, this, this”, I expect a succinct point, and you have a link to a 57 minute video. And no commentary. No effort to direct people to the key point.

Most people see posts and don’t expect to invest an hour

Although you have god as part of your user name, so maybe your word is enough for some of your followers


TLDR; you had 57 minutes to actually watch this, and felt so passionate to share it that all you can offer is 4 X “this”?

I watched the whole thing (and his similar speech in Philly earlier) because it helps cleanse my brain of the cumulative damage from hearing Trumps idiotic voice for extended periods. But if I had to pick a specific section that I feel is most important, it starts around 36:30 where he talks about the long road ahead of incremental improvement of the nation’s governing bodies through sustained voting action. That one is for the people who might feel satisfied enough just disposing of Trump, or the Bernie bros who might still be pouting over not getting everything they want immediately.

Polly Pollster, an AI polling program that uses social media behaviour to predict election results, gives Trump an 8% chance of victory.

The program correctly predicted the Liberal minority win last year, the Brexit and Trump victories in 2016.

Reponse. I believe "Sue if you must" is Legalese for go fata yourself.

Quote:
The Lincoln Project “will not be intimidated by empty bluster”, a lawyer for the group wrote late on Saturday, in response to a threat from an attorney for Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner over two billboards put up in Times Square.

“Sue if you must,” Matthew Sanderson said.

The New York City billboards show the president’s daughter and her husband, both senior White House advisers, displaying apparent indifference to public suffering under Covid-19.

Kushner is shown next to the quote “[New Yorkers] are going to suffer and that’s their problem”, above a line of body bags. Trump is shown gesturing, with a smile, to statistics for how many New Yorkers and Americans as a whole have died.

According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 8.5m coronavirus cases have been recorded across the US and more than 224,000 have died. Case numbers are at record daily levels and one study has predicted 500,000 deaths by February. New York was hit hard at the pandemic’s outset.

The Lincoln Project is a group of former Republican consultants who have made it their mission to attack Donald Trump and support Joe Biden.

On Friday, Marc Kasowitz, an attorney who has represented the president against allegations of fraud and sexual assault, wrote to the Lincoln Project, demanding the “false, malicious and defamatory” ads be removed, or “we will sue you for what will doubtless be enormous compensatory and punitive damages”.

The Lincoln Project responded that they would not remove the billboards, citing first amendment rights of free speech and the “reckless mismanagement of Covid-19” by the Trump White House.

In a legal response on Saturday night, attorney Matthew Sanderson told Kasowitz: “Please peddle your scare tactics elsewhere. The Lincoln Project will not be intimidated by such empty bluster … your clients are no longer Upper East Side socialites, able to sue at the slightest offense to their personal sensitivities.”

Due to a “gross act of nepotism”, Sanderson wrote, citing supreme court precedent and “substantial constitutional protections for those who speak out”, Trump and Kushner have become public officials whom Americans “have the right to discuss and criticise freely”.

I take it Trump and his lawyers are unfamiliar with the Streisand effect.

No, that would be "conduct yourself accordingly".

Huh, I never would have even heard about it otherwise. Streisand effect.
