"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - George Orwell 1984

If you make it to the end of this report the reason for the quote wil be apparent.

There's a very recent clip on Twitter but it doesn't translate to here and it's not on YouTube yet.

At last nights rally the most stupid president in history was talking about raising campaign finance. He said he could ring Exxon and ask how their exploration programme was going, and they might reply they needed some permits. He said he'd then ring the Exxon CEO and ask for a favour, say 25 million paid to his campaign.

If that has a familiar ring to it, and it should, that's exactly the sort of quid pro quo that got him impeached.

He probably knows just how easily it triggers TDS in some people.

See, it works both ways.

I note that Exxon Mobil has issued a statement saying that it had never happened. Not, you'd notice, that it could not happen....

I see that the last debate will feature mute buttons on the mic's.

I have this vision of world leaders gathered with close friends to watch the debate - and turning it into a drinking game...."Angela, another schnapps ! He's been muted again !"

Mute buttons will not work, he will just walk over to the other microphone or just yell louder.

His supporters will lap it up as you know being a rude arrogant idiot troll is the ultimate in republican leadership these days.

The only way to shut trump up is to state him of oxygenPreferably with a rope.

The preparation these guys undergo prior to a debate is thorough. They should have a plan for that. Well normally it's thorough, Trump didn't think he needed to bother but Christie did work with him a bit. It was Christie who recommended Trump interrupt all the time trying to get Biden to stutter so they could blame that on dementia.

Why Christie keeps sucking up to Trump is a mystery, originally as a former Governor of New Jersey he had hoped for something big in Trump's cabinet. He may have forgotten that years earlier he had jailed Jared Kushner's father, but Jared Kushner certainy hadn't. After some humiliation he was let go. Several times since he's returned briefly only to be rejected again.

Pat Robertson, an ancient evangelist, has said God told him that Trump will win the election, and that the end of days will follow.
That does seem an odd incentive to offer his flock to get them to vote for Trump?

Robertson is 90 and may have forgotten that while he is allowed to talk to God, if he hears God talking to him he could be headed for a padded cell.

Trump has been referring to Biden as "China Joe." We should all be aware by now that Trump is huge on projection, when he is accusing somebody of something, he is normally guilty of doing exactly that same thing himself.

The New York Times has broken a story that Trump has a bank account in China and used it to pursue business interests there. Of course his daughter Ivanka has been applying for and receiving trademarks in China since he became president.

That's satire . I'm not a Trump supporter by any means because I don't suffer liars or narcissists .

But. That is fake news . You're as bad as Donald in this instance.

Must do better. Grain of salt now with you Pritch.
