To be fair, there is a hurricane on its way there. Probably Obama’s fault.
The only thing I might believe about his statement is that he took such a test (during his super-sekrit rush visit to Walter Reed last November?). Even then, he’s talking about things better left unsaid, like the secrets he blabbed to the Russian diplomats early on, in his ceaseless effort to aggrandize himself. No filter.
Why doesn’t he just draw the path of the hurricane away from the rally site on a map with a sharpie? then they could hold the rally.
A news article said that the weather would be fine at the time of his rally.
Oh, like he’s not a bigger blowhard?
Do the evangelical Trump voters not get it at this point? It’s pretty clear at this point the God hates Trump. Hates him with a passion.
Pfff. God, what a pussy. Fuckin snowflake can’t even handle a little wind and rain.
Doug Stanhope made that same argument back in 2008 regarding Sarah Palin and it worked for us then…
Nothing sadder than a fat man crying alone in the rain with thinning hair matted to his balding pate and orange makeup running down the collar of his shirt.
QuickSilver, mein freund, mi amigo, watashi no tomodachi…you are the king of puns. 
As you recall, in late October of '12, Sandy hit the Eastern Seaboard with a pretty solid punch. I remember Christie working with Obama to deal with the situation. It was the final fucking of RMoney. So, not only was the weather not against Obama, it was actually for him.
In the long run - actually, within a few years of him finally being out of the White House - the ONLY thing that anyone will remember about the presidency of Donald Trump will be his total failure on the coronavirus.
The best case scenario right now is 250,000 deaths and an economy worse than any since the Depression. That’s best case. It could be MUCH worse.
It is a case of being hoisted by his own petard.
President Trump has convinced his own supporters of the false conspiracy theory that mail-in ballots are subject to rampant fraud — so much so that Republicans are, evidently, refusing to vote by mail.
The Post’s Amy Gardner and Josh Dawsey report that Democratic voters have embraced mail ballots in far greater numbers than Republicans in primaries this year — alarming Republican strategists who say it could undercut their candidates, including Trump, particularly in states such as Florida and Arizona. In Michigan, Trump supporters actually burned absentee-ballot applications.
This is but one sign of the descent into madness that Trump has caused. Conspiracy theories, long a staple of the president’s, are spreading faster than covid-19 among his supporters, inducing mass delusion. In the most ominous manifestation, he has convinced his supporters that fears of the virus are overblown (a Democratic “hoax”), that mask-wearing is effete political correctness and that the pandemic’s spread merely proves that “our TESTING is much bigger and better.”
Now the pandemic is growing unchecked in Trump-backing states, and hospitals are running out of rooms. Tulsa, where Trump insisted on having an indoor rally, has seen a dramatic surge in cases “more than likely” spurred by the rally and protests, the local health department said.
Everywhere, it seems, reality is colliding with Trump’s fantasies.

In this opera… the question is, is this the end of the whole shebang, or just the end of Act I? If the latter, then Act II will be a blockbuster, ending with the theater going up in flames.
The rat fucker walks.
Are those you who are frequently quoting the Washington Post aware that all of these articles exist behind a paywall?
Not all of WaPo articles. Their Covid-19-related articles are open to everyone. (An article about Trump paranoia, probably isn’t, unless it deals a lot with Covid.)
Well, the most recent one was certainly paywalled.
Used to be I could google a work-around for that sort of thing, but apparently the news outlets have gotten more savvy about those things.
I know the COVID articles are available to everyone. This is one reason why I usually quote extensively–or at least quote the really juicy parts-- from whatever article I cite instead of just posting a headline. If I don’t quote extensively, then it likely means the headline says it all, and the article wasn’t particularly meaty. I keep the reader in mind when I post. I think I need some breakfast…
Just draining the swamp and combating the deep state. Very little consolation but at least the conviction itself still stands. All things considered, I’m enjoying the summer but I can’t wait for November to get here.
I disagree strongly. Did they live on a desert island from, say, mid-2015* until Election Day 2016? Most of them knew exactly what they were getting, they got it, and they want more of it even now.
*Really more like 1989, but I’m trying to be nice here.
