The democratic game plan! Throw anything and everything at the president and see what sticks.
Wash and repeat. This will be their modus operandi!
Focus on Trump... Forget about in mental decline Biden.

The Atlantic’s Anonymously-Sourced Article Jump Starts The Permanent Pre-Election Anti-Trump Crisis News Cycle

The Atlantic's Anonymously-Sourced Article Jump Starts The Permanent Pre-Election Anti-Trump Crisis News Cycle

As with Russia collusion reporting, expect bombshell media reports implicating Trump in wrongdoing, often dropped just before a weekend, to create a 2-4 day media feeding frenzy. As each crisis news cycle peters out, another bombshell is dropped, rinse and repeat.

The media attacks on Trump have followed a pattern for years: A bombshell media report implicating Trump in wrongdoing, often dropped just before a weekend, which creates a media feeding frenzy for 2-4 days before it is completely disproven or seriously cast into doubt. As that crisis news cycle peters out, another bombshell is dropped, rinse and repeat.

This permanent crisis news cycle reporting is reflected in an article in The Atlantic, conveniently dropped just before a long holiday weekend, which follows on the heels of a bombshell and since discredicted CNN report that Trump suffered ‘mini-strokes’. As the ‘minti-stroke’ feeding frenzy was petering out, The Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg reported Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’. Based entirely on anonymous sources identified only as former Trump administration officials, the heart of the controversy is Trump supposedly canceling a trip to an American military cemetery during a trip to France in 2018:

Those claims are denied not only by Trump, but on the record by several officials who were present during discussions about canceling the trip to the cemetary.
All have denied any such statements were made. Even John Bolton, who is clearly hostile to Trump, denied it.


Why would Jeffrey Goldberg risk competely trashing The Atlantic’s reputation? What reputation? The Atlantic is now owned by Steve Jobs’ widow, who has donated at least a half-million dollars to Biden.

It’s also suspicious that an anti-Trump group Vote Vets had polished ads on air within hours of the story breaking. It smells like collusion.

4 sources

Confirmed by half a dozen news outlets including a fox reporter


Trump very likely said this stuff



If trump said it....will you vote for him?
 
Re: The Atlantic’s Anonymously-Sourced Article Jump Starts The Permanent Pre-Election Anti-Trump C

And then there was Woodward and the ever comatose Trump who decided he could "handle" him. Ah-huh. Smooth DonDon, real smooth.

Re: The Atlantic’s Anonymously-Sourced Article Jump Starts The Permanent Pre-Election Anti-Trump C

The frenzy is the overactivity of everyone created by their attempting to attend to all that is the psychotic madness of damage to our nation, the word and democracy issued from Donald J. Trump. And while the house is on fire, the Trumplicans and the Trump cult, many of whom post on this forum, blame those who point such out. You can’t form an effective bucket brigade when the Trumpsters aren’t there in line to hand the bucket to for to put out the fire. Don’t look to Moscow Mitch McConnell or the RW DP posters to so much as spit on the fire that is Putin-lover Donald J. Trump, while Putin stands by warming his hands.

I have to confess, this has all taken me by surprise. I really didn't think the left had any ammunition left after the last four years. Now, just before the election:

Trump hates the military

Trump hates his own supporters

Trump hates Christians

If Trump loses he is going to immediately resign and have Pence pardon him

Trump, even after getting out of wars and making peace deals, is going to start a war just to stay in office

has murdered close to 200,000 Americans

will come out with a fake vaccine for the virus to get re-elected

That a great summary of how horrible trump is
 
Re: The Atlantic’s Anonymously-Sourced Article Jump Starts The Permanent Pre-Election Anti-Trump C

The OP appear to be hunting for a reason not to vote for Donnie Boy's reelection. Here I have one for him.

The Western United States are ablaze in the worst fires they have seen in twenty years due to Climate Change and its not even their peak fire season yet. The farm belt can barely get crops in the ground and then harvest them before some God awful storm or flood wipes them out and the Southeast get hammered by larger than life hurricanes regularly now.

Does anybody in their right minds think we have four more years to give Climate Change denier Donald? Does anybody that has watched Donald bungle the Federal COVID response, pass the buck to governors and lie through his teeth to the American People think Donald will handle the Climate Change crisis AT ALL.

There are some things that fall to the Federal Government to manage. One of them was clearly COVID. Donald took a pass. Now we have 190k dead and climbing, businesses shut, economy on the ropes, people out of work and about to lose their homes. There is no plan for schools but as you would expect Donnie has dumped that responsibility on state and local authorities and colleges and universities. Smashing example of leadership Donald. We have 20% of the world's COVID death and destruction with only 4% of the world population. Donald found a way to get us to #1 in something after all.

Another thing that is clearly an issue to be resolved Nationally if not Nationally as part of an international effort is Climate Change. Anybody actually think Donnie Boy has the intellectual capacity for that? If so, give me some of what you are drinking.

It's going to get real nasty! And when he wins the election..... God help us!
I have read that Move On is planning massive protest across the nation! You know the "peaceful ones?"

Oh my so far off the mark! More silly ranting about the president. Now Trump is getting for the wild fires in the West? What the...... Next will be Trump caused the destruction of the planet.
Watch CNN tomorrow and they will have a break news story! :confused: :3oops:


OK once again here from Dr. Anthony Fauci

Testifying before Congress on Friday, Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly credited President Trump for coronavirus policy decisions that saved lives.

Those measures included Trump’s decisions to ban flights from China, the UK and the rest of Europe, and the administration’s “Fifteen Days to Slow the Spread” quarantine policy, initially ordered in mid-March and then extended to a total 30 days.

Appearing before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Response, Fauci said he participated in, and approved of, all of those policies — and that he believes they all resulted in the saving of lives.
