I noticed that trump has declared his comments were similar in tone and delivery to those Churchill gave when he went onto rooftops in London and told people “everything is going to be good”.

Of course, he had to lie — Churchill never did that, but as we see with trump and his two supporters here, lying about everything is all they have.

In reply to RickA.

Here is another good story:

Wow – CNN has sure changed their tune in the last day or so.

I am voting in person! I want my vote to count, and preferably on election night (not two weeks later).

Just saw this CNN article and thought it made some very good points:

On to better news – the latest polls show that the gap between Biden and Trump for registered voters is now 10% – with Trump’s disparaging of veterens and brazen lies over the seriousness of the pandemic clearly hurting him. If Trump is to win, as one of his cult members (RickA) believes, then he has to overturn this massive gap in only 7 weeks. At this stage in 2016 he was only 3 per cent behind Clinton and he barely scraped through while overwhelmingly losing the popular vote. If he wins this time it will be also by the skin of his teeth – but it looks ever likely that the orange stain and hus criminal family will be booted out.

Let’s keep hoping.

Not related to trump or Churchill: reread Hunter S. Thompson’s September 11 themed bit in “Rube”, written roughly one day after the attacks. Two key paragraphs:

We are going to punish somebody for this attack, but just who or what will be blown to smithereens for it is hard to say. Maybe Afghanistan, maybe Pakistan or Iraq, or possibly all three at once. Who knows? Not even the Generals in what remains of the Pentagon or the New York papers calling for WAR seem to know who did it or where to look for them.

This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteed — for anyone, and certainly not for anyone as baffled as George W. Bush. All he knows is that his father started the war a long time ago, and that he, the goofy child-President, has been chosen by Fate and the global Oil industry to finish it Now. He will declare a National Security Emergency and clamp down Hard on Everybody, no matter where they live or why. If the guilty won’t hold up their hands and confess, he and the Generals will ferret them out by force.

Churchill’s quote “You don’t need to worry about the German Air Force or the buzz bombs. They aren’t accurate and will go away soon.” isn’t included here.

Oh, wait.
