WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says Georgia GOP Senate candidate Mike Collins can call him whenever he wants to ask for help for his state. But if Georgia reelects Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff, Trump says it could be another story.
“There’s a big difference between that and Pee-wee Herman calling,” Trump said last week in Perry, Georgia, using his derisive nickname for Ossoff. The president acted out a hypothetical scenario at his rally where Ossoff called to ask for money for his state, with Trump responding, “I don’t give a damn what he wants.”
It’s been a recurring theme at Trump’s rallies this month: From North Carolina to Ohio to Kansas, the president has dangled the idea that his administration would be far less likely to help states where Democrats win in the upcoming midterm elections.
Trump has sandwiched the threats into rallies where he has announced goodies like new semiconductor investments, a submarine repair center and fewer limits on a certain type of diesel, underscoring to the audience the types of tangibles an all-Republican Washington could continue to deliver for voters should his party remain in power after November.
40 years of ‘lesser evils’ got us a government that exists solely to fellate the ego and wealth of a decrepit, 80-year old turd with literal dementia. And he and his asshole kids are already so rich none of them or their descendants will ever have to work again.
A president making implied threats against whole states should be an easy impeachment and an easy jail sentence, if you ask me, but no one with any power cares much about a president violating their oath anymore. The only exception would be when a state is purposely acting against the liberty of its citizens, as we’ve seen numerous times over the course of our nation’s history.
I think a major issue is that America keeps choosing the greater evil.
The major issue is they’re all greater evils, some just have better PR and give prettier speeches.
That doesn’t make sense. Even if they’re all evil they can’t all be greater.
they’re all greater evils
Greater than what? Makes no sense.
I mean, their contemporaries in other countries, but yes it is a silly thing to say. I think they probably wanted to bring up the ratchet instead
We really should have voted for the greater evil more consistently, we could have had this happen 20 years ago.
You did.
Dubya got re-elected in 2004, despite everything.
True. Probably should have reelected that guy some more, right?
Definitely.
Either way, at least we agree that Democrats are to blame for the actions of Republicans. Republicans are like a force of nature, their actions defined by deities, and it’s the fault of Democrats for not killing God.
You’re right.
We definitely shouldn’t blame people who have the power to create change for deciding not to do so, and it’s definitely unfair to blame them for voting to make things worse.
That would be inappropriate.
Cool. I assume you’re not going to vote then?
