A day without stupid?

Trump wants Pompeo to release Hillary Clinton's classified state department emails.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/09/pompeo-hillary-clinton-emails-428392

The stupidity of this is astounding. The original accusation against Clinton was that she was using a personal email server for allegedly classified information, which is a potential security issue that might have resulted in classified information leaking. But if that was the case, what should we think about Trump wanting to publish these very same emails for the whole world to see?

With those emails released she might possibly lose the popular vote!

We should rightfully think that he cares more about damaging his enemies than he cares about the national security of this country.
 
Okay, not exactly Trump, but his followers.
Trump has no money. His campaign is forced into austerity measures. Some states, he just cannot advertise in because local stations demand the money up front.
So, my uncle is complaining that he sees Biden commercials all goddamned day long, sometimes two in the same commercial break, but the liberal media won't even run ONE Trump ad for our President.

I don't suppose he understands that advertising is not free and that since Trump's Presidency has been such a disaster he is very low on campaign funds. Besides, Trump keeps illegally turning WH speeches into campaign events.
 
I thought that earlier this year, Trump campaign and GOP had a huge lead on the democrats in terms of campaign funding. What happened? Did Trump just siphon off the funds to his own businesses, or did they end up spending more earlier on?

EVERYONE siphoned off funds. When you hire thieves to run your 8-year-scam, it must be quite tempting yo see the big pile of cash and think, 'no one'll notice a few thousand goes missing...'
Add typical Trump Co. auditing, there's no telling where any went.

It went to "fundraising". In politics, "fundraising" is poli-speak for "graft". Something like between a third to half of the money went to "fundraising"! And Trump's supporters are undeterred by this. Heck, even the GOP isn't saying anything out loud.

article said:
Under Mr. Parscale, more than $350 million — almost half of the $800 million spent — went to fund-raising operations, as no expense was spared in finding new donors online. The campaign assembled a big and well-paid staff and housed the team at a cavernous, well-appointed office in the Virginia suburbs; outsize legal bills were treated as campaign costs; and more than $100 million was spent on a television advertising blitz before the party convention, the point when most of the electorate historically begins to pay close attention to the race.

Now, it must be remembered that Trump ran a very odd campaign and won in '16, so who knows, but what we do know is that the Trump Campaign fleeced the GOP and the GOP's supporters by hundreds of millions.
 
Doesn't that mean he concedes a crime has been committed?
Eric really is like an Ensign. He doesn't know if a crime has or hasn't been perpetrated, he's only ever followed orders. But Captain Daddy has said, 'Don't say the wrong thing, idiot!'
And Eric asks The Chief (Lawyer), 'You'll help me know the right answers to the questions, right?'
Chief sighs. 'Look, just say I PLEAD THE 5TH to every question.'
'Won't that look like i'm guilty?'
'You ARE guilty, but we're not going to just hand them the conviction. Make 'em work for it. Understand?'
'I PLEAD THE FIFTH!'
'Not MY questions you... Hey, you know, that's fine. Just keep saying that.'

It means he's conceding he committed a crime. You can't take the 5th to protect anyone else other than a spouse.

I bet you $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 that Eric Trump is unaware of that distinction.

Trump didn't realize the Babylon Bee is a satire site.

FIFY.

Also, that Tweet is still up? Or does the Trump Campaign think their base is so stupid, this'll still get their rage boners going and drive them to the polls?

“Can you imagine if I lose, my whole life, what am I going to do? I am going to say I lost to the worst candidate in the history of politics?

“I am not going to feel so good, maybe I will have to leave the country, I don’t know.”

To a country with no extradition agreement, I assume.

I say starting November 2nd, he has to pay all Air Force One fuel expenses. Before the flight.

Not if the New York AG has anything to say about it.
 
His presidential library will be an evidence locker

How will they divide it, though? By jurisdiction? "On your left is the Federal Crimes Wing of the exhibit, States to the right, starting with Florida, and the New York Rotunda straight ahead."

Or more topical? "Financial shenanigans in the rotunda, with tax cheats on the dais. The sexual crimes are down that hall, past the age barrier. Treason is downstairs in the dungeon, sorry, the basement. Discrimination charges over there...."
