During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Way Too Early,” the New York Times’ Peter Baker suggested Donald Trump is still having a great deal of difficulty coming to terms with the notion that he could lose in November to Vice President Kamala Harris.Baker claims that the former president’s recent actions de…

    You can go back even to 2016 where he was laying the ground work to say he didn’t lose to Hilary and then he won and I think it shocked him a bit. He’s always been like this though across everything.

    Remember that “The Democrats are the best at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory” is a thing and we’ve still got some time to go until November.

    I’m not believing anything is over until February. I’ll give January to all the lawsuits they’ll file and whatever stolen election bullshit they’re going to pull, but I’m not going to believe Trump will lose that easily even if the rally sizes are “looking good” for us.

      This is the way.

      Hope for the best, work for the best, push for the best, but expect the worst and prepare for the worst. Trump and his Russian backers are not going to rest. He will literally try anything to avoid being held accountable. And there’s way too many dollars for the Shitgibbon to grift away. We need to unify to keep the Shitgibbon out of office because anything less than that WILL have the most vulnerable among us hurt.

    Again. He may lose again. He lost the popular vote twice. He will definitely lose it a third time, and he may lose the election again. “Again” needs to be emphasized because he’s going to keep trying and we must make sure he loses again.

        Just make sure the night before you do that, you go to the all-you-can-eat mexican buffet and have the refried chicken bean burro with the fire salsa beef stew.

      What is the difference in stressed and overstressed? I keep seeing people add “over” as a prefix and it confuses me

        Normal stress - running an election and having your entire game plan thrown out the window because the guy you were calling too old to run quit. Now you’re losing to a woman that is also black. Two things that you clearly can’t stand because you’re a piece of shit.

        Overstress - You realize you’re very likely going to lose and that means you’re fucked. You have 34 felonies and a bunch more shit to face in courts and you will go to jail. Your money taken from you to pay people you fucked over and that list is long. This is the kind of stress that drugs can’t get you to sleep through.

      He can’t die before putting on that orange jumpsuit. If he died in office in his last term I’d have allowed it.

    He just thought he was going to waddle his way to an easy victory, didn’t he? Especially after that Republican kid shot at him and before Biden stepped down…

    Anyone here ever watched Downfall? I’ll be honest, I kinda hate Trump=Hitler comparisons, but this article and Trump’s past few weeks reminds me a lot of Hitler’s final scenes in the film, just completely delusional about some long-since destroyed corps coming in to save Berlin from the overwhelming Reds. I can only hope that it turns out that way

      I would pay to watch Trump angrily and frustratingly banging on a table screaming " Nein Nein Nein", more so with tears in his eyes and his pack behind him knowing they can’t interfere without taking the brunt of it, watching their world view just smolder to the ground.

      I think he’s going to fly out of a window first. He still owes that half a billion in loans to a guy that likes to have people tossed out windows. If he doesn’t win, he can’t sell secrets to pay for it, and we all know he’s broke.
