Sept. 18 Open Thread: Trump Fans So Sure of ‘Red Wave’ They See No Reason to Vote

How dumb are they? This dumb: An internal RNC poll shows a majority of Trump supporters believe his talk of a “red wave,” so they think they don’t have to bother voting in the mid-terms. This is not wishful thinking — this is their own internal polling. Gotta love those poorly educated.

Trump, desperately grasping for anything as he’s going under, yesterday ordered the release of unredacted documents pertaining to all his allies in his treasonous plots and enemies in the government. This would probably mean death for Russians cooperating with U.S. intelligence agencies; I’m not sure if Trump doesn’t care or if it’s a bonus for him. Remember, when the Germans were forced to give up Paris, Hitler ordered it burned to the ground. His order was ignored.

I’ve never understood why people would watch the whining of a no-talent preppy-gone-to-seed like Tucker Carlson, but then, I’m not a white nationalist or white supremacist or whatever it is the racist-and-proud-of-it crowd is calling itself these days. According to a young KKK apostate, Carlson is the white nationalists’ favorite TV personality. Apparently no matter how much money you have, there’s more to be made in whining about how white people are getting screwed. Gotta love those poorly educated.

Tom Arnold, who once was so hungry for fame that he married Roseanne Barr, has spent the last year or two hunting for the Trump N-bomb tapes, shorthand for the outtakes from various incarnations of “Apprentice” that reveal more of Trump’s boorish behavior. Nobody doubts they exist, but somebody’s squelching their release. Arnold has now done a TV series about his search, and possibly to promote it, got into a fight with “Apprentice” honcho Mark Barnett at a party the night before the Emmys. Such a tape reportedly was given to Ronan Farrow Sunday, so soon we’ll know again what we already know.

If you’re looking for something with more meat, this in-depth look at Trump’s war with China explains the method behind the blustering bullshit, and there is one. As is standard with Trump, it boils down to “We’re going to hurt them even if it hurts us.”
