September surprise?

Last edited Fri Sep 4, 2020, 02:53 AM - Edit history (1)

If this is what September brings I can't wait to see what the hell October could be like for Trumpy. I mean this story is pretty pretty bad and I don't think it's going to help them at all with the Military vote at this point I think he's completely lost it now.

I mean yeah his stupid base will claim its fake and all that bullshit but who gives a fuck what they think? They don't matter. Its about what other people think like swings voters such as independents and sane Republicans think about it.

This is the problem with stories like this. It feels exactly like a “surprise” and therefore in this conspiratorial “fake news” time we live in will be dismissed.

if you've been sitting on this for 4 years .. what exactly does that say about the source(s)?

edit: 2 years then .. for this one particular incident.

Joe needs to carpet bomb the airwaves with this too. Or will the Lincoln project do it first?

Will he speak out? I almost think he has been pushed to reveal what he knows. But he could decide to remain silent. Maybe he doesn't want to deal with the pushback that would come his way if he verifies the story.

of the increase in mail-in ballots being used this year. People are about to start sending them in the coming weeks. Waiting until October might have lessened the impact.

to give it weight. These stories sound like bits put to gather and then (hopefully) rechecked before putting Goldberg’s name on it.

Because now is the time. Every couple of days needs to be a new story.
