Jeff Stahler for August 30, 2020

Every time he’s speaking, there should be a chyron just showing “Pants on fire… Pants on fire… 90% false… WOW: Almost half true… Pants on fire…”

Ugh, wrong channel that’s a living lie.

Take out Trump’s lies, you are left with a 30 second sound bite. 10 second, weekdays.

His biggest lies get the most applause at his rallies.

The RNC Convention had LOWER ratings than the DNC Convention – a fact Trump isn’t mentioning. I wonder why? He certainly would have mentioned it if it were the other way around.

Not holding my breath about his MAGAts finally realizing how he’s been blowing smoke at them and breaking his promises since being elected. They’re made for each other.

Every time a publish a metric on the number of Covid-19 deaths in the United States, the figure becomes obsolete. So I am going to use 190,000. If the death toll under Trump’s “exceptional leadership” isn’t there now, it will be by next week.

If each one of those deaths were represented by one inch on a ruler, the measure would stretch on for 3 miles. Imagine driving along the road and seeing 36 bodies stacked up every foot of the way. Or upon coming to the end of the three mile drive seeing a mountain of corpses equal to the population of Mobile, Alabama.

Imagine a terrorist attack that wiped out the entire city of Mobile: every last man, woman and child. There would be an uproar. But to Trump supporters, this is an acceptable casualty count. He’s doing a wonderful job with the pandemic – even the RNC said so at the convention. Are we tired of winning yet? 190,000 people and their families don’t think so.

It is what it is. Live with it. Trump says that the virus will go away on its own if we just continue to keep ignoring it. Keeping America Great.

I just thought of another metric. On the first day of the Battle of the Somme, the British sustained 19,240 killed in action for the gain of maybe a kilometer of ground over a relatively narrow front.

The battlefield must have been littered with corpses. One soldier claimed that you could step from body to body across no man’s land and never set foot on the ground.

Imagine walking across that battlefield and seeing all the bodies. Now imagine doing it for 10 days in a row – that’s what 190,000 deaths would look like.

Several days ago, IMAGINE posted the following as to what Buttercup might say in his speech.

Because of me it is now 2020. That is the highest number year ever. Much higher than Obama

I think it perfectly describes Buttercup’s ego.

If you watch Fox News on a really large TV it makes it true what they say. OK, I LIED. SO WHAT. DEAL WITH IT.

That would be State TV (aka Fox News).. The very best facts come from them and are supported by the trump himself.. can’t get better than that.

Biden wants to have a fact checker at any debate with crooked liar idiot Trump.

“Vhen der Führer says, ‘Ve are der master race!’, ve ‘Heil!’, ve ‘Heil!’ right in der Führer’s face!”

they really should have this ! You hit a home run Jeff !!

And this morning on Face the Nation, Val Demings fails the relevancy-check.

It’s probably off the air, overheated and burned out.

Excellent portrait of T. Poor, tired, low-energy, sleepy guy. He needs some rest.

When did MSNBC change their name?

For Buttercup, that’s an endless and ever widening loop.
