Trump asked about senators who sold stock ahead of the market collapse: Trump: "I'm not aware of it" --then goes on to discuss it.---Lie Trump: "I guess it was Diane Feinstein and a few others" -note she's the only Democrat in this group of senators Reporter: "to clarify the group also includes Richard Burr...and Kelly Loeffler..." Then Trump goes on to accuse the reporter of failing to mention Feinstein's name, when that hypocritical a$$h@!e just did the exact opposite and mentioned only Feinstein's name earlier. This exchange in itself may not be a huge deal, but it's a perfect example of why I cannot stand that blubbering jacka$$ we call "mr president." https://www.mediaite.com/tv/trump-defends-senators-under-fire-for-pre-corona-stock-dumps-theyre-very-honorable-people/ This will always be who Trump is. He will never change. He will never grow into the moment. He will never learn to take responsibility or admit fault. He will never view the >50% of America who does not like or trust him to do what's right as also people he is responsible for leading. He is who he is. And he's just about the worst person to be president right now. 1 Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Rand Paul has COVID. 14,000 new cases thus far today Link to comment
knapplc Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Trump and the Republicans are going to do everything they can to ram their favorite legislation down our throats in this crisis. Americans should demand a clean bill with bipartisan oversight. Abstinence Only is 1) a pipe dream, that not even the most Christian of Christians adheres to, and 2) has NOTHING to do with this crisis. Why are they hiding it in this bill? 1 1 Link to comment

Everyone stuck at home...hmmmm...what to do???? Maybe, Republicans are trying to eliminate the chance of our healthcare system being overloaded 9 months from now. Link to comment

Skin starts to suffer injury at 110 degrees, 2nd degree burns can be suffered at 118 degrees and 3rd degree burns come at 131 degrees. These people are idiots. And funny story - OANN is that far-right propaganda apparatus that Trump gave the last question to in his presser last week, whatever softball question that was, and then tons of photos of that "reporter" hanging out with Trump & his family appeared online. Never trust anything that comes from OANN. 1 Link to comment

They must have forced him, or done it when he wasn't looking. Because surely he wouldn't get tested on his own, because this is a hoax, and he's asymptomatic. Right? 2 Link to comment
ActualCornHusker Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 This is obviously a serious situation, but can anyone honestly say the media isn't making the situation 100x worse? No different than usual I guess... 1 Link to comment

No different than usual I guess... Honest question, in what way(s) are they making it worse? Are they causing the spread of the virus? Is the President only doing what he says he's done to appease the media? Doubt it. The situation we're in (social distancing and the economic fall out) is because it is recommended by healthcare professionals. The media is just getting their message out. 3 Link to comment
