Wow. The White House thinks homeopaths are a great source of medical knowledge.

Well, if we could dilute Trump to one trillion trillionth of his toxic personality it would be an improvement.

Homeopaths. Really. That's an all new level of insanity, even for Trump.

I get all my medical advice on disease transmission from hypnotherapists too!

What a bunch of morons.

The declaration was also signed by at least 18 self-declared homeopaths who signed as medical practitioners and 100 therapists, including massage therapists, hypnotherapists and psychotherapists.

I love it when Fox News publishes an article about how bad things look for Trump.

At his rally in Des Moines, Iowa, DJT thought it good policy to moan to the crowd about their local press covering the flooding in Iowa, in preference to Trump's Nobel Prize nomination .... not included in this summary, but;

0.45 ... bemoans Hunter Biden being hired by an energy company despite having "absolutely no experience" ... this from a POTUS who held no public office AT ALL prior to the presidency.

1.15 "remember Crimea?" - evidently Iowa does not, for this is greeted with stony silence.

The problem I see with the way Trump is campaigning is it's pure grievance. It's about him and no one else. At least in 2016 he was promising that stupid wall he never built.

Crimea, Hunter Biden, Hillary's emails, himself getting infected with covid. These issues have absolutely nothing to do with the lives of the people in that crowd. They may hurt his opponents but it doesn't do anything to improve anyone's lives. Mostly his campaign promises for his next term are fucking with liberals by retweeting ridiculous conspiracy theories. I get the impression that his supporters are starting to realize that.

Someone here mentioned this and I think they're right:
His supporters only care about owning the libs. America could burn to ash and as long as the libs were crying, Trump supporters would be happy.

Maybe I'm being naive but I think those clowns that show up to the rallies mostly only care about owning the libs.

I'd like to think that the majority of his supporters probably care more about what he can get done for them.

Trump has all but confessed to ordering extrajudicial execution, without trial, of Michael Reinohl.

Someone pointed out today that Trump talks about Biden's son more than he does about his own ...

Confronting his own nepotism isn’t as satisfying as criticizing another’s.

Nothing to see here, just the president threatening the AG's job if he can't conjure up a scandal with which Trump can smear his political opponents for his own partisan gain.

It's a disgraceful thing for the president or any public official to say, but we shouldn't read too much into it. Trump likes to make himself out to be a tough guy, and bringing up this shooting as if he personally had anything to do with it is his way of vicariously seeing himself as a badass. That's all there is to this.

Barr must be wondering why he bothered bending all those rules for Trump, if there's nothing at the end of the tunnel for him.

An interesting look at the many ways Trump is trying to use his office to rig the election in his favor are failing.

One part had me laughing. Apparently Trump is frustrated because John Durham's investigation into the Russia probe could take years, instead of being resolved within the next two weeks to give him some fresh firepower in the election.

"Why should they get a free pass because it took too long to do the investigation?" President I-Can't-Release-My-Tax-Returns-Because-I'm-Going-Through-A-Five-Year-Audit griped.

Even the Biden Campaign is saying that the poll numbers are untrue.

From the link, a tweet by reporter Shane Goldmacher:

https://www.nytimes.com/by/shane-goldmacher

"Shane Goldmacher is a national political reporter and was previously the chief political correspondent for the Metro Desk. Before joining The Times in 2017, he worked at Politico, where he covered national Republican politics and the 2016 presidential campaign. He also served as chief White House correspondent for Politico in the first months of the Trump administration. Before that, he worked for National Journal magazine, where he covered both Congress and campaigns. There, he won the National Press Club’s Sandy Hume Award for Excellence in Political Journalism for a series on lobbyist-sponsored travel."

I already posted something to that effect. If Trump wins it will probably be very similar to last time, where he loses the popular vote but wins the electoral college.
