If Trump loses in 2020 the bigger and unambiguous the loss the better, otherwise he will without a doubt make things NASTY for the country and his base will fall in line with conspiracies.

Ah gently caress it, their mouths will foam with rage no matter what

His base loses about 2 million people a year. If he fails reelection in 2020, they'll be down 10-12 million by the time 2024 comes around.

Doesn't sundowning actually happen around sundown... *checks time zones*

Narrator: They did.

I think sundowning really depends on how long the subject is up, but it typically happens at sundown because most people are raised to be active throughout the day. Big Baby Donny not getting his nappy-wappies in because he's campaigning, following election results, reacting negatively to said results, up awake due to worry, then having to get on a transatlantic flight and attend a major function in another time zone probably, given the way sleep deficits work, means he's having a sundowning episode from a week ago.

I enjoy that the entire crux of her case that there's something fishy going on is that she gave a celebration speech and went to bed thinking she had won, so it must be unfair if that wasn't true.

Like, neither of them even tried to make an argument that there was something questionable about the votes. Just "Everyone said I won so it doesn't seem fair to change your mind."

I really think we need to start getting ready for elections not being settled in a single night. The last fifty years of televised election returns have really spoiled the country.

If the R's had their way and were able to change Medicaid into a block grant, in home support services would have their budgets slashed including personal care assistants. This is what allows the severely disabled to live independently. Without this we can't feed ourselves, shower, use the bathroom, get dressed, or work. We have to surrender our freedom and become institutionalized. With all the abuse that entails.

But Republicans have also cut funding to public health institutions, so anyone disabled will likely end up starving to death on the street.

Why do you think the schedule for the Paris trip is so hosed up? He wasn't just the level of incoherence we expected from Trump, when they got to Paris he was in bad shape. Like, to the extent that his staff knew he couldn't meet with other world leaders. Confused, angry, scared, full-on pathetic old man senile. Worse than they expected, which is why he couldn't go the scheduled literal walk around a park. And it's continuing on to the second day of the trip, so it wasn't just one bad day. Trump is deteriorating fast.

I remember a couple weeks ago in the Trump thread, saying that Trump will not take the midterms positively and end up retreating into isolation to the point we will have periods where we don't see or hear of him for days. I had thought it would be almost immediately. but it looks like it's happening now.

Has Trump met with the press in France? I heard Jim Acosta's there and there's nothing he can do about it, so I'm sure he's avoiding him by not going to any of press junkets while there.

EU and NATO is telling the US that its planning to form a common army because America can no longer be trusted to act as its protector

I'm guessing this is an expansion of the Eurocorps, which is basically a headquarters unit with the Franco-German Brigade attached to it. It inhabits currently a hazy definition of EU defense policy where it doesn't operate under the CSDP but it's assets could be used.

Or are we discussing two separate events he ducked out of? Still.

Veterans Day was yesterday and he had already returned, so taking a two mile car trip was definitely in his power, if he wanted to do so.

And you can bet that they haven't really made any money off of it, despite the mountains of litigation about to drown them.

I don't want to defend Aviannti because lol he's a loving weirdo, but a dedicated person could absolutely gin up probable cause to sustain a DV arrest. If I didn't understand or care about anything beyond tomorrow here's how I would do it.

1: hire/recruit sexy decoy to try to establish a relationship. If he's an egomaniac horndog who takes the bait all the better, but if not all I really need are a photograph or two of her together with the mark.

2: gently caress up the sexy decoy to the point of "traumatic injury" so you can get a felony. This isnt as hard as it sounds, in some jurisdictions simple bruising counts.

3: get inside or wait outside his building/house, wait for him to leave and make the 911 call.

4: Meet police outside with visible injuries, a story about how the mark caused them and proof of the relationship. That's p.c. for arrest.

It wouldn't hold up for more than a few days, but you get your headline.

If Wohl did have a hand in this, can't wait until the accuser is revealed to be Wohl's girlfriend. Again.

Earlier, someone not from CA was surprised that it was considered conservative, and I wrote this:


Orange County went for Hillary in 2016, so it can easily be said that Trump's brand of Republicanism doesn't really fly here. It still leaned red otherwise and maintained a majority of Republican reps that year. I think this year's results are a combination of energized Dems and Rep leaning people who are fed up with their poo poo.

Surprisingly, according to this nifty map, Irvine went solidly for Dems downballot. They even voted against the gas tax repeal. Irvine is a booming tech center and probably attracts a lot of young educated people.

The only thing I really knew was that OC is home to John Wayne Airport, which is the biggest "'nuff said" about the political leanings of Orange County.
