do or die

Yup, forget about listening to PhD's and the like. Just take the real advice from people with a BS in media

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova Tuesday rejected suggestions Russia was understating the death rate. “That’s what it is and we never manipulate official data,” she said. Of course the Putin regime is an open book.....

Well, my vote is for PLUMBERS......

Well, the GOP types make up for it, in by simply alternating between the supine and prone positions.....

As predicted, it didn't take the Trump mouthpieces on Fox - Carlson, Hannity and Ingraham.... long to crank on Dr. Fauci, after his testimony yesterday, calling him a buffoon, dictator and Democratic enabler. Also praising Rand Paul as the person who should be trusted to deliver the straight goods on the virus!! Hard to make this stuff up.....but somehow Fox manages to do it.

They were investigating Whitewater, and tripped over Monica, by accident...

The pandemic Paycheck Protection Program working like a charm: Coronavirus stimulus loans go to oil and gas companies that have previously bought back shares: https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/497442-ppp-loans-go-to-oil-and-gas-companies-that-have-previously-bought

Well, my addiction to gin, has saved me from ingesting anything that might do me harm.....while reading this forum

Just another bad President? I've see quite a few, but.... Trump is actually a textbook case of a total malignant narcissist. The childishness, immaturity, raging tantrums, serial lying, egotism, lack of empathy or integrity....are merely symptoms of this deep seated condition... When it comes to advice even within his own administration, the Don is simply psychologically incapable of accepting what they are telling him. Any Intelligence information that does not conform to his worldview simply cannot be processed. This is the main reason that a lot of posts in the WH are populated with under qualified flunky's, to tell him what he wants to hear - thus "proving him right". His internal world is filled with baseless and outlandish conspiracies that fit with his emotional needs. In Trump's distorted, paranoid view of reality - NATO, EU, UN, etc, are all enemies, who rip off the US and are inherently untrustworthy. Trump’s weird admiration for dictators of all stripes....can be understood more readily, when one understands that actually, they exhibit the same authoritarian, narcissistic and paranoid worldviews, as Trump. In reality, Donald simply has a higher comfort level with those folks. His view on government is that it should be based primarily on loyalty to himself, rather than the rule of law or democratic norms. In his world, only Trump and his allies, his supporters, and their friends are entitled to the rights and protections of the law, and if necessary, immunity from it. Any disagreement with him is "criminal" "treasonous" or some form of devious plot against him. Contrary to those democratic norms, all his activities must be shielded from any form of oversight. Therefore, the traditional balance of Judicial, Legislative and Executive entities, must be upended and institutions like the DOJ, Intelligence community, etc, be belittled, and discredited (he is working hard on those right now) His base is passionately loyal to him, as over the years, the right wing propaganda has instilled a mindset, featuring them also as "victims" surrounded by "enemies" Hatred of "elites" manifests itself as resistance to the "Deep State" which consists of pretty well all existing institutions. All Trump needs now is to design the appropriate salute. All of the traits mentioned above, have been on full naked display during the pandemic. Some of us wondered how Trump would respond to a real crisis. Unfortunately we don't need to wonder, any more. Trump transcends the usual push-pull of Democrats and Republicans. Beyond mere policy and beliefs. - this man is a complete menace, and a danger to democracy.

Fauci labelled a Chinese, WHO, Deep State plant.....in 3....2....1....

Well, certain media outlets just can't help themselves. Nor can the current President of the United States.

The Trump administration plan at this point,seems to be to just bluff and brazen it out. Trump is simply obsessed with re-election. How many Americans actually die, at this point is immaterial...

Trump declaring victory, yet again this afternoon...but... https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/unreleased-white-house-report-shows-coronavirus-rates-spiking-heartland-communities-n1204751

Mueller said he would of exonerated the President, if he could........but stated that he could not.

We will have to disagree. A good deal of Obstruction going on: https://www.factcheck.org/2019/04/what-the-mueller-report-says-about-obstruction/

Not my source. Btw, try reading the Mueller Report itself. That way you will know what a snow job was put out by Barr

Masks, crooks.....certain symmetry there, anyways...

Given the way Barr distorted and misrepresented the Mueller Report, Trump certainly knew what he was doing when he hired this guy - a unethical flunky..... to be the highest legal official in the land. His current "job" is to provide cover for Donald Trump

Must protest. Jeb wouldn't of let anything like that happen...

Pretty accurate summation....

Asked by a reporter whether he considered wearing a mask around a group of elderly people who are at a higher risk of the virus, Trump said no. “I was very far away,” he said. “I would have loved to have gone up and hugged them because they’re great. I had a conversation with everyone but we were very far away. And the wind was blowing hard in such a direction that if the plague ever reached them, I’d be very surprised.” Good Gawd...

Fake news. Everyone can get one. And they are beautiful.

While I cower indoors, with my reduced immune system (cancer treatments), and ongoing pulmonary condition......would like to give a shout out to the bold fighters for freedom down south, and the heroic social commentators, who would make Jack London proud, and truly understand the laws of nature, and why people like me must simply be resigned to our fate. I can, however...live with that shame...and plan to inconvenience some people for a while yet..

You mistakenly took the President's comments literally....
