Just when you think you’ve seen it all! WTF is this?! :manson:

I don't understand why he's still allowed to TWEET seriously. He should be banned.
I think Twitter has no balls, that's why they won't do anything.

Small crowd at his rally, social media campaign to reserve tickets with no intention of going paid off.  He thought a hundred thousand people were going.

The president told the crowd, “You know testing is a double-edged sword. We have tested now 25 million people. It is probably 20 million people more than anybody else….Here’s the bad part. When you test to that extent, you are going to find more people, find more cases. So I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down please.’ They test and they test.”

The crowd laughed. A White House official later suggested to reporters that the comment was a joke. Journalists, though, seized on the comment, as it was in line with others that Trump has said. He told The Wall Street Journal this week that more coronavirus tests drive up the number of cases. “In many ways, it makes us look bad,” he said.

 

I'm 100000000000% sure he didn't mean it's a joke. :1251:

Clearly these 2 clowns are pressed :bad:

While talking about Trump's plans for his second term and taking shots at his predecessor, former Vice President Joe Biden, Pence talked about Trump's appointment of federal judges. Pence touched on this week's Supreme Court rulings that upheld protections for transgender Americans and DACA recipients and pledged that Trump would appoint more conservatives to the bench.

"We learned this past week, we need more conservative justices on the Supreme Court of the United States," Pence said.

Trump also mentioned the Supreme Court at the top of his speech and said he hoped to name more judges.

Non-Dumpster supporters, you guys really need to get rid of them!

The family of President Donald Trump is asking a court to block the publication of a forthcoming tell-all book written by Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, her lawyer and publisher confirmed Tuesday.

The New York Times, citing a person familiar with the matter, first reported Tuesday afternoon that Trump’s brother, Robert Trump, sought a restraining order against Mary Trump and the publisher Simon & Schuster in Queens County Surrogate’s Court in New York.

That is the same court that handled the estate of the president’s late real estate developer father, Fred Trump Sr. Mary is the daughter of Fred Trump Jr., the president’s late older brother.

President Trump has said that Mary Trump, 55, signed a nondisclosure agreement when she settled a court fight related to the estate.

“She’s not allowed to write a book,” Trump told the news site Axios last week.

The White House declined to comment for this article.

Mary’s book, “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,” is scheduled to be published on July 28. Despite no physical copies being available for sale yet, the book is No. 5 on the Amazon.com bestseller list as a result of pre-publication sales.

The Daily Beast earlier reported the existence of the nondisclosure agreement, and the expectation that Mary Trump would out herself in the book as having been the primary source for the Times’ Pulitzer Prize-winning series about President Trump’s finances. 

The Times stories relied on tax returns by the president’s father, Fred Trump Sr., and other private family financial records.

Simon & Schuster on its website says Mary Trump’s book is a “revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J. Trump and the toxic family that made him.”

Robert Trump told The Times in a statement Tuesday that he was “deeply disappointed” in his niece’s decision.

“Her attempt to sensationalize and mischaracterize our family relationship after all of these years for her own financial gain is both a travesty and injustice to the memory of my late brother, Fred, and our beloved parents,” Robert Trump said.

Mary Trump’s lawyer, Theodore Boutrous, in a statement provided to CNBC, said, “President Trump and his siblings seek to suppress a book that will discuss matters of utmost public importance.”

“They are pursuing this unlawful prior restraint because they do not want the public to know the truth.  The courts will not tolerate this brazen violation of the First Amendment,” Boutrous said.

Simon & Schuster in a statement said, “As the plaintiff and his attorney well know, the courts take a dim view of prior restraint, and this attempt to block publication will meet the same fate as those that have gone before.”

“In Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man, Mary Trump has written a compelling personal story of worldwide significance, and we look forward to helping her tell her story,” the publisher said. 

Trump several days ago lost a court battle to try to stop publication of a memoir by his former national security advisor John Bolton.

Simon & Schuster is also the publisher of Bolton’s book, entitled,  “The Room Where it Happened.”

That book, which went on sale this week, is No. 1 on the Amazon bestseller list. :chuckle:

I always find it funny, that they think a restraining order will make such book go away. In what times are they living? The script is most likely saved on a server. Often those servers get hacked by unknown sources. And suddenly the script can be found on the internet. And once it's out there, it will not go away. Or the script is on a flash drive, left in a car, the car is broken into. You know the rest. How many times have we watched those scenarios on a TV show or in a movie?

Finding the Trump supporters so depressing and mind boggling. They actually love and admire him being cruel, obnoxious, stupid, racist and sexist. They hate all reporters and excuse every single thing he does. They love how he degrades others and always say he is taken out of context when his entire press conferences, rallies etc are filmed to show he is not. How can anyone find him admirable, yet alone adore him 😔

So many companies are pulling ads from Facebook in protest of site's failure to stop the spread of hate.

List is impressive: https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/28/business/facebook-ad-boycott-list/index.html

Starbuck
Coca Cola
Honda
Hershey's
Levi Strauss
Patagonia
NorthFace
Unilever
and it goes on and on....

People get away with a lot of crap on Facebook. Most of the stuff I report from trolls on there who are saying explicitly bad things and who are obvious fake bot accounts rarely have any action taken on them. Facebook replies that they’re not violatIng the rules. You’ll see people wishing Madonna dead and saying really vile racist things about her kids but Facebook usually does nothing. On Twitter they take reports more seriously by suspending and banning accounts.
