Trump never met a thug or dictator he didn't like

Vanity Fair“Good fighters” and “great negotiators”: Donald Trump is weirdly full of praise for the Taliban

...Trump appeared on Fox News to talk about how great the Taliban is
...
“The Taliban, good fighters, I will tell you, good fighters. You have to give them credit for that. They’ve been fighting for a thousand years. What they do is they fight,” Trump said on Fox News’ [Hannity] on August 17. “The Taliban has circled the airport, and who knows if they’re going to treat us right? All of a sudden, they’ll say—well, frankly, if they were smart, they’d really—and they are smart. They are smart. They should let the Americans out,” Trump said to Hannity.

Newsweek: GOP Removes Page Praising Donald Trump's 'Historic' Peace Deal With Taliban

The Republican National Committee has removed a webpage from 2020 in which it praised Donald Trump for signing a "historic peace agreement with the Taliban."

David Weigel, of The Washington Post, was the first to spot that the page had been removed with the web address redirecting to a 404 error page featuring the quip: "It looks like you're as lost as Biden is."

The Guardian's congressional reporter Hugo Lowell later confirmed the webpage's removal after successfully tracking down the now-deleted page via The Wayback Machine digital archive.

Featured as part of a section titled "President Trump Is Bringing Peace In The Middle East," the page described how the former U.S. president had "continued to take the lead in peace talks."

The page also claims that "while President Trump has championed peace, Joe Biden has taken the lead in pushing for endless wars."

It's also notable that the now-deleted webpage claimed Trump had "taken action to defeat ISIS and eliminate dangerous leaders."

Abdul Ghani Baradar, the co-founder of the Taliban in Afghanistan and the organization's current political chief, was released from a Pakistani jail at the request of the US while Trump was in office.

Trump Sneaks Back On Twitter By Disguising Self As Taliban Spokesperson

 

 

U.S.—Trump has been allowed back on Twitter after disguising himself as one Donhammed Trumpistan, a newly hired spokesperson for the Taliban. As Trump had previously been banned from the service, then allowed back on after disguising himself as a spokesperson for the Chinese Communist Party, then banned again once he couldn't help himself and started claiming the election was stolen again, this is simply his latest ploy to get back on social media.

 

 

"Allah be praised. Allah is pretty great, maybe the best ever. Everyone says so," 'Trumpistan' wrote on Twitter as his first post. "That Joe Biden is really screwing things up over here. What a sad, pathetic loser! Oh man, they're making me do the prayer thing now. Why do I need to pray? Very humiliating! Not good!"

Even before Trump rally plans, Alabama university UAB predicted a COVID spike next month. The state already doesn't have enough ICU beds. Wednesday Alabamians has 2,734 beds, and they are already experiencing queues up to 8 hours. UAB predicts 5,000 beds needed in 30 days, almost double.

The Guardian: Trump stages Alabama rally as state struggles with Covid surge

Donald Trump was due to stage a rally in Alabama on Saturday night, in a city that has declared a Covid emergency and in support of a congressman who both backed Trump’s attempt to overturn the election and this week sympathised with a man who threatened to blow up the US Capitol.

Terrorist Roseberry drove a black pickup truck onto the sidewalk outside the Library of Congress around 9.15am on Thursday and allegedly began shouting about a bomb.

The former president will speak in Cullman, Alabama, in part in support of congressman Mo Brooks’ bid to swap his place in the US House for a Senate seat.

Like other southern, Republican-run states, Alabama is struggling with a surge in cases of Covid-19 fueled by the contagious Delta variant. On Thursday, the city of Cullman declared a state of emergency.

In a statement on Saturday, Trump said he expected a “huge crowd and tremendous enthusiasm” as there was “much to discuss, mostly having to do with bringing our country back”. Local media reported that organisers expected about 40,000 to attend at York Farms. The former president was set to take the stage at 7pm local time.
...
On Thursday, congressman Brooks ... tweeted: “Although this terrorist’s motivation is not yet publicly known … generally speaking, I understand citizenry anger directed at dictatorial Socialism and its threat to liberty, freedom and the very fabric of American society.

“The way to stop Socialism’s march is for patriotic Americans to fight back in the 2022 and 2024 election. I strongly encourage patriotic Americans to do exactly that, more so than ever before. Bluntly stated, America’s future is at risk.”

Newsweek: Top Pennsylvania Senate Republican Pushes for New Election Audit After Trump Pressure

The GOP leader of the Pennsylvania state Senate tweeted ... "After many weeks of work behind the scenes, we are now moving forward to conduct a forensic review of recent elections. I am confident that we have the right team in place to make it happen"

...The top Pennsylvania Republican ... had previously appeared noncommittal to moving forward with a review of the 2020 results and avoided discussing the issue in public, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. However, earlier this month he had told local channel ABC 23 that GOP lawmakers were "trying to provide oversight that everyone is comfortable with the election process moving forward."

Back in mid-June, Trump issued a statement rebuking Corman for not pushing forward with an election audit.

"Why is State Senator Jake Corman of Pennsylvania fighting so hard that there not be a Forensic Audit of the 2020 Presidential Election Scam? Corman is fighting as though he were a Radical Left Democrat, saying that a Forensic Audit of Pennsylvania not take place," the former president said at the time.

Even after Corman announced Friday that the investigation would move forward, a spokesperson for Trump criticized the Republican lawmaker.

"Why do RINOs [Republicans in name only] always prefer to work 'behind the scenes'? We want a transparent audit led by Mastriano! Not a con job by Corman who already has lied, stone walled the audit, and is now smearing @dougmastriano, who without, the audit would not be possible!" Trump's spokesperson Liz Harrington tweeted.

At a mere 1594 pages, this thread has today been overtaken by the "2019 Novel Coronavirus Covid-19 Discussion" thread, which has reached 1595 pages.

 

So Trump is now marginally less popular than COVID - how appropriate.  🙂

In Alabama, the state hospital association said this week that 85% of hospitalized Covid-19 patients were unvaccinated.

Take the good with the bad. The bad: holding a super-spreader event in Alabama. The good: saying get vaccinnated.

Trump at Alabama rally.

“I believe totally in your freedoms, I do, you’re free, you got to do what you have to do.

But I recommend taking the vaccines. I did it, it’s good, take the vaccines.”

responding to boos and jeers,

“That’s OK. That’s all right. That’s good, you got your freedoms.

But I happen to take the vaccine. If it doesn’t work, you’ll be the first to know. OK.”

Depressing how many stupid people there are in America. I wonder if they would have listened to him/been more open to taking the vaccine if he were still speaking as president.

 

Ah well.

Tucson Arizona Sentinel:Monsoon floods damage border wall near Douglas

Several metal gates in the U.S.-Mexico border wall along the San Bernardino National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arizona were damaged during monsoon flooding this week.

Fernando Sobrazo of the environmental group Cuenca Los Ojos took a photo, shared on Twitter on Wednesday by Kate Scott, founder of the Madrean Archipelago Wildlife Center, which shows at least five hinged metal panels, standing several feet high, that appear disconnected and swinging free from the recently constructed border barrier near Silver Creek.
