A day without stupid?

[Dubious media bias example]

Now let's be fair. I tripped going up the stairs last week. Needing two hands to drink a glass of water that is rather on the small side... Nope, hasn't happened to me since I was 3. I'll cradle a cup of tea to warm my hands, but a cold glass of water? What's the deal with that?

Besides, two instances of questionable dexterity in a short timeframe is the start of a pattern, one is just a fluke. How should we then categorize the two articles above?

I'm pretty sure Sleepy Joe did his Chevy Chase impression just to trigger the Traustis. Worked like a charm, too.
He's a crafty one, that Sleepy Joe.

Biden is a communist marxist socialist now, apparently.

Former President Donald Trump dismissed President Biden as “Bernie Sanders on steroids” in a Monday interview, warning Republicans are in danger of failing to prevent Democratic attacks on the Second Amendment or their pursuit of liberal policies.

 

[Jayjay]

I find it funny that Trump, who was literally on steroids for at least a week last year, would use that metaphor.

He is talking from experience, nothing wrong with that.

My money says he never knew it in the first place.

I'm pretty sure they had to tell him what they were doing to him. I mean, unless he signed over his medical proxy to someone else.

But, yeah, probably in one ear, out thhe farthole.

How Trump Steered Supporters Into Unwitting Donations

Stacy Blatt was in hospice care last September listening to Rush Limbaugh’s dire warnings about how badly Donald J. Trump’s campaign needed money when he went online and chipped in everything he could: $500.

It was a big sum for a 63-year-old battling cancer and living in Kansas City on less than $1,000 per month. But that single contribution — federal records show it was his first ever — quickly multiplied. Another $500 was withdrawn the next day, then $500 the next week and every week through mid-October, without his knowledge — until Mr. Blatt’s bank account had been depleted and frozen. When his utility and rent payments bounced, he called his brother, Russell, for help.

What the Blatts soon discovered was $3,000 in withdrawals by the Trump campaign in less than 30 days. They called their bank and said they thought they were victims of fraud.

“It felt,” Russell said, “like it was a scam.”

Contributors had to wade through a fine-print disclaimer and manually uncheck a box to opt out.

As the election neared, the Trump team made that disclaimer increasingly opaque, an investigation by The New York Times showed. It introduced a second prechecked box, known internally as a “money bomb,” that doubled a person’s contribution. Eventually its solicitations featured lines of text in bold and capital letters that overwhelmed the opt-out language.

The tactic ensnared scores of unsuspecting Trump loyalists — retirees, military veterans, nurses and even experienced political operatives. Soon, banks and credit card companies were inundated with fraud complaints from the president’s own supporters about donations they had not intended to make, sometimes for thousands of dollars.

“Bandits!” said Victor Amelino, a 78-year-old Californian, who made a $990 online donation to Mr. Trump in early September via WinRed. It recurred seven more times — adding up to almost $8,000. “I’m retired. I can’t afford to pay all that damn money.”

Does anybody else remember Trump's big claims about being so rich he didn't need donations? I sure do. Just another hu-u-ge Trump lie, obviously.

Does not pardoning the protestors count? My fear was that would be his last parting shot, pardoning the protestors as he left the White House.

Can't count that, because most insurrectionists hadn't been indicted on specific charges yet--certainly not convicted. Charges against many were still pending when Trump's term burned out at noon on Jan.20. Which may very well have been intentional, to thwart specific pardons from the Idiot-In-Chief.

He wouldn't have been able to issue pre-loaded blanket pardons setting aside future rulings that hadn't yet been made.

Why would he pardon them? They didn’t succeed in overturning the election. He owes them nothing.
