President Trump unleashed a torrent of rage tweets about Michelle Obama’s speech at the Democratic convention that was spectacularly cringeworthy even by his standards — but it only underscored how effectively the former first lady made the case against him, in ways that are significant but not immediately apparent.

Her case, boiled down, is that Trump inherited a country that, for all its deep problems and lingering inequalities, was on the mend following another previous crisis. Trump proceeded to utterly wreck the place through his incompetence, malevolence, corruption and depraved conviction that stoking as much civil conflict and racial incitement as possible helps him.

Trump’s substitute tale, reflected in a series of tweets, runs as follows: Trump won the White House only as a reaction to Barack Obama’s failures — to “the job done by your husband,” as he sneered. Trump then built the “greatest economy” in the known universe, then voluntarily turned off that economy in a benevolent and responsible effort to save “millions of lives.”

Trump’s story is pure disinformation
Here’s the reality: Trump largely inherited the economic trends he enjoyed for three years. Trump was compelled into acting on the novel coronavirus only when his efforts to lie the crisis out of existence grew impossible to sustain. His dithering helped cost tens of thousands of lives, while the handling of H1N1 was relatively smooth and effective.

Trump is by far the most corrupt, self-dealing president of the modern era. And the Russia probe uncovered important truths about a foreign attack on our democracy that actually happened, to his benefit, an accounting he corruptly tried to derail.

She rightly noted that Trump mocks Black Lives Matter even as people of color keep dying and cited his moral equivocating about white supremacists and the violent removal of protesters for Trump’s Bible photo op. She charged that Trump brings only “chaos, division, and a total and utter lack of empathy.”

Trump has no response

The truth of all of this is everywhere, all around us, confirmed daily. Trump can substitute only pure invention. Indeed, his campaign ads proceed as if the coronavirus and economic crises simply do not exist.

But this shows weakness. The fundamental premises of his alternate history are rejected by large majorities, who disapprove of Trump’s handling of the coronavirus, say it is not under control, believe Trump acted too slowly on it, view the recovery negatively and prioritize containing the virus over herding people back to work, which Trump wants to do.

Right now, folks who know they cannot win fair and square at the ballot box are doing everything they can to stop us from voting. They’re closing down polling places in minority neighborhoods. They’re purging voter rolls. They’re sending people out to intimidate voters, and they’re lying about the security of our ballots.
And this means:

After the speech, Trump retweeted a bunch of nonsense purporting to debunk claims that he’s trying to sabotage mail balloting. But Trump himself confirmed the truth of her allegation when he said on Monday: “The only way we lose the election is if the election is rigged.”

Similarly, Trump has explicitly said mail balloting will inevitably mean the outcome is rigged. If Trump loses amid a lot of mail balloting, which people will utilize to protect themselves from the pandemic he exacerbated, the results cannot be legitimate.

Even as the U.S. Postal Service pursues operational changes that the USPS itself says could delay the delivery of mail ballots, Trump is telegraphing that he will seek to dismiss all late-arriving ballots as illegitimate. Meanwhile, GOP lawyers are working to protect laws that will invalidate those ballots, even if they arrive late due to pandemic conditions and operational delays — through no fault of the voters.

So Obama’s ultimate claim, stated indirectly, is right: Faced with his inability to make his catastrophic record disappear with lies, Trump is plainly persuaded he cannot win a free and fair election. So he’s trying to corrupt it.

As she noted, to overcome that effort to evade an uncorrupted election, Democrats may have to win overwhelmingly. That this may be required is a terrible thing to contemplate. But that very fact itself stands as searing an indictment of Trump’s record — and his efforts to evade accountability for it at the hands of the voters — that anyone could ask for.

Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES - They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for far less! (This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!).

...Meanwhile, I gave America energy independence in fact, so much energy we could never use it all. The Bernie/Biden/AOC Green New Deal plan would take California’s failed policies to every American!



I think energy companies did that.
 
TWITTER is great for all the unhinged rage you feel first thing in the morning.

I'll be sure to share that advice with all the vulnerable eldery people I see protesting. :lamo
 
The last thing a cult leader can do is to do anything other than disagree vociferously or fail to condemn in the worst possible terms anything from the opposition, no matter what "they" say. A lie is no problem to the rabid cult as long as it falls in such category. They look to the leader for "the word". Never mind side-by-side comparison of statement that proves the lies. It's all fake news, hoax and the deep state, repeatedly so labeled by Trump.
 
You are all claiming to be the party which will Unify the country.

And the title of this thread is “Michelle Obama Drew Blood.”

This is why we don’t trust liberals not to cheat.

I was never a big fan of the woman while she was First Lady (although it does bring me back to a better time when the entire world didn't see the First Lady's breasts and genitals with her finger in them). But she is very smart, very shrewd, very classy, and great at making that fool Trump snowflake out.
 
our immature president is what he claimed to grab.

I am quite content to exclude them.

You don't invite your enemies into your home.

What does the phrase “Michelle Obama Drew Blood” have to do with me?

You are fantasizing about Trump being wounded.

You are NOT the party of peace, unity, and hope. You are the party of disunity and violence.

1. What the hell are you on about? I didn't say that.

2. From your point of view, yes. And that's how it should be.
 
Just in case you didn't hear it on your popular left leaning news sources Michelle blamed Trump putting children in cages...only forgot to mention her husband had the cages built and used them himself. We recall the pictures the news used blaming Trump for caging children but neglecting to mention the pictures were from the Obama era...

You can keep lying about the two very different situations if you want to.

That was where I was going with that.

Why do the people who “believe in unity and equality and decency” create threads boasting that Michelle Obama “Drew Blood”?

Too bad, right?

Lol not really.

It highlights for readers the fact that many on the left glorify aggressive and violent behavior.

And are willing to do anything in order to achieve their goals.
