President Donald Trump is promising to reveal “really big news” on election security. Many Republicans wish he wouldn’t.
The president’s speech, expected to be delivered in prime time Thursday from the White House, comes amid renewed hostilities with Iran, which are once again driving up fuel prices ahead of an election that most strategists still expect to turn on cost-of-living issues.
“The people I talk to are scared shitless,” said a former Trump administration official, granted anonymity to speak candidly. “It’s not scared shitless about the text of what he’s going to say, it’s, what does he add to the text?”
Let’s put our 80 year old dotard with severe dementia on national television! What could possibly go wrong?
Meh, his base will love it.
At this point, the only thing that would be legitimately shocking for the audience would be if he had an actual aneurysm or heart attack mid-speech and died. Anything else he says or does won’t move the shock needle much at all.
If he walked out on stage with no pants, sang badly for 20 minutes, fell over, and crawled away he would be greeted with thunderous applause and rabid acclaim.
So back in 2016, I tried this thing to explain why Trump was so unpresidential.
I found a picture of him, on stage, wearing tan suit pants.
I pixelated the lower half of his body. Showed it to my very-Christian aunt. she freaked out about him not wearing pants and how it was wrong of me, how it was an attack on him, how it was out of context. Everything except “hang on a second! That never happened!”
People started talking about what context was it appropriate to be pantless on stage, etc.
Which was my entire point. It never happened, but he is such a fucking creep she didn’t think twice about it. No one even questioned that he was letting it all hang out.
The “well, here’s the thing…” didn’t go over too well.
I would prefer that vs. everything else he’s done.
He’s gonna walk onstage and yell “free ice-cream for everyone!” After he’s informed that nobody brought ice-cream, he will blame the democrats
I am stoned

Truth is sometimes found in the buds.
My maga coworkers were already talking about what time it would be on. They’re grabbing their popcorn… They love this piece of shit.
If he dies on TV that would probably become the most watched video of the decade.
Fingers crossed.
Shitting his diaper so hard that it squirts up the front and gets on his face would do, but then we’d have to see 30% of his followers trying to mimic it.
He’s going to start an election security department to oversee elections and have it be part of the executive branch and hence (according to his supreme court, and unitary executive theory) it will be under the control Trump officials.
That’ll be the end of it.
They’re not scared about what he’s going to do, they’re scared he’s going to say something stupid and embarrass them.
Did I read that right?
Literally every time he opens his mouth is an embarrassment. Even without opening his mouth sometimes.
All the announcements I care about are the TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES ™
Someone out ol yeller out to pasture for good. Fuck this mango Mussolini piece of shit.
Come on America, do the 2nd amendment thing you all feel so strongly about.
Something like that before midterms would be just what the GOP wants to exercise more control and cancel elections.
If it happens now, we’ll all be highly suspicious of an inside job.
Yeah… we don’t need him to become a martyr
You don’t jump to the cartridge box…there are 3 others before it.
Not to mention it takes time to set up paralell infrastructre/systems.
The Grim Reaper came for the wrong guy.
We will guarantee free and fair election by pointing a gun to voter’s heads and ensuring they vote MAGA
The networks think Trump can stuff it
