After all, with a mask you can't "look them in the eye". There is only one reason why Pence didn't wear a mask. trump said he wouldn't wear one.

It's not a matter of spine. Turtle used the example of wanting a president with a "spine" in the Joe thread yesterday. Turtle is like trump and like trump's followers. Its part of the populist ideology of Putin, Duterte, etc. They pick enemies to blame, choose both sides of an argument, never accept responsibility and facts are never, never discussed. Don't try to argue facts with a trump populist. Its like trying to shake hands with an octopus.

As compared to trump who can flip and flop like a freshly caught bass in the bottom of a boat. Reverse himself every time he turns his head because two people are whispering in each ear.

He was not against killing Bin Laden. He agreed with Secretary of Defense Robert Gates that more intel was needed to confirm the mission.We have all read the sources of your opinions and they are FOX or worse. So just give more credit to Obama. It seems as if you had a derogatory opinion of President Carter. Who ended up taking the blame for the failed Operation Eagle Claw. Which was bold and whose failure was not his fault. You should have been a Washington negotiator on Indian tribes in the west back in the 1800's. Because you talk out of both sides of your mouth. You could have eliminated every reservation all together. Republicans would have given you a parade in your honor for that achievement.

Brent isn't familiar with trumps tweets and this may help. "Trump’s most recent controversial tweets: In psychoanalysis we can see this as a clear illustration of a defence mechanism created to defend the ego – to maintain a powerful sense of self. First he attacks @Morning_Joe (Joe Scarborough) by referring to him as “poorly rated” – an obvious concern for Trump which has emerged again and again from ratings on The Celebrity Apprentice to having his press secretary defend numbers at attendance at his inauguration. He notes that Joe talks badly of him, assures us that he doesn’t watch anymore (a bunch of sour grapes anyway), and then calls him Psycho Joe – indicating that he’s even too crazy to take seriously. There are a series of readable symptoms here. Trump attempts to elevate his own ego in relation to Joe’s, denigrates Joe by saying he’s not important, and then calls him names. In the following tweet he reveals more. He brings in Joe’s associate, Mika Brzezinsky, similarly calls her “Crazy Mika” and details how he wouldn’t allow them to join him at Mar-a-Lago for New Year’s Eve. He signs off my making an ad hominem attack on Brzezinsky by stating that she was “bleeding badly from a face-lift.” This attack is not much different from an 8 year old screaming, “I never wanted you at my party anyway because you’re stupid and ugly! And by the way I don’t even care.” A child brazenly demonstrates his defence by showing how much it matters to him, while claiming it doesn’t matter at all." The article goes on to show ego, narcissism, poor self esteem, deficit of self-regard, "the ego of a narcissistically wounded individual often festers in its own self-loathing, and when provoked, it can launch a bloody attack to defend the shinier image of itself." Biden may lose an occasional train of thought. trump is a derailed brain.

Next to trump Moe, Larry and Curly. Are all rocket surgeons.

I was going to respond but you appear to have the bases covered. airdvr has bought the trump/FOX talking points hook, line and sinker. That Mitch McConnell, trump and republicans are going to look after the little guy. That they are not insiders. Its most likely that the ideas of free market economics combined with science is an anathema to him. As it is for trump. That climate change ... Well Wikipedia has it covered: The Niskanen Center has sought to differentiate itself from other think tanks on the political right by espousing a position of strategic compromise, including on issue areas that break from doctrinaire noninterventionist and free-market positions. In addition to taking an aggressive stance in favor of climate change action and carbon taxes, the center generally supports the maintenance of a more robust welfare state safety net in exchange for other market reforms. Vice President for Policy Will Wilkinson advocates a social democracy-style system that incorporates the position of liberal political philosopher John Rawls. This ideal mirrors European states such as Denmark that pair free trade liberalism and labor market reform with heavy unemployment benefits and a public healthcare system.[43]

“Donald Trump is the most anti-science and anti-environment president we’ve ever had,” said Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian at Rice University. The president’s actions, he said, have eroded one of the United States’s most enviable assets: the government’s deep scientific expertise, built over decades. “It’s extraordinarily crazy and reckless,” he said.... “Scientists tell them inconvenient things,” said Jerry Taylor, president of the Niskanen Center, a centrist research organization, and former climate change denialist who now advocates for the acceptance of climate science. “Whether we’re talking about the E.P.A. or we’re talking about climate change broadly speaking, or we’re talking about the coronavirus, his administration is constantly engaged in magical thinking.” Politics outweigh science and fact. Same old story.

Agree completely. It exposes a fatal flaw in the US constitution and/or law.

Well I agree substantially. The hyper-partizan nature of media and politics exposes every wart. Other countries are worse. None of which are G-7. But incessant flag-waving, boasting and self aggrandizations by trump and others. Has resulted in ridicule and even pity by the rest of the world. Absent trump the warts will begin to fade. But a lack of protections, health care, environmental considerations and income inequality. Will present jet-stream headwinds for a US ascent to its rightful place.

The graph of media bias has been posted here before. Several times. If anyone chooses they can find sources for news KNOWN to be unbiased. Middle America can find the truth with very little work. So you're disingenuous to suggest news cycles, dominant stories and lack of coverage. Has hidden this story.

trump. All the lies, all the sexual assaults including admissions of sexual assaults. Admissions and ongoing statements that resulted in a book no less. "The book, All the President's Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator, draws on over 100 interviews — many exclusive — and adds to a list of nearly two dozen women who had previously accused him of sexual assault or misconduct." While I appreciate the more detailed argument that markharju has brought to this forum. IMO this one has no legs as the bar has been established, by trump.

On point, the developed world looks upon the US under the trump regime. In trepidation as if a friend had become a alcoholic. His life spiraling out of control, going down with no bottom in sight. "They provide a recurring horror show in which all the neuroses that haunt the American subconscious dance naked on live TV." You want to turn it off. Slap it into consciousness. Instead every day a new horror of a friend in despair shows its ugly reality.

trump outdoing himself is a...oxymoron. Poll: Voters trust Fauci, Biden, Sanders, Cuomo, Pence more than Trump on coronavirus Yet, "Forty-four percent of voters say the trust President Trump when it comes to coronavirus information' I'm still waiting for that forty-four percent to do the Clorox-injection and post it on you-tube.

Your first quote is from "Jamie White | Infowars.com" Needless to say thats as far as I went. Your second quote is from CNN the "Fake News" for which "Now, with more credible evidence emerging every day about malfeasance by a presidential candidate, it's nothing but crickets from the major news outlets." Was the quote from the thread author. Aside from the widely varied versions of the so called assault by the "victim". CNN seems to be the only cricket singing.

I read some reporting about his latest tweet-rants. But yikes! IMO being stuck in the WH is beginning to show and exacerbate his mental issues. I hope he keeps up his daily press briefings. The more he talks the bigger the bombs he drops.

You're a very silly boy. Did you think seriousness would last? In the age of social benumbnent?

I confess that sometimes I skim your posts. Sorry

Missed paranoid.

SNL Cold Open Features Brad Pitt as Dr Fauci for those who missed it.

I'll help. As trump suggests ingesting Lysol. Its most likely that his base will follow that suggestion. Thats good for America and democracy.It helps kill the virus and supports US business.Sounds like winning.

Thats the one. He also owes debt included $211 million from the state-owned Bank of China — its first loan of this kind in the U.S. — which matures in the middle of what could be Trump’s second term.

Never underestimate stupidity. Prescriptions for two antimalarial drugs jumped by 46 times the average when the president praised them on TV as a coronavirus treatment. A very good story about how a single diner in a Chinese restaurant spread it to nine others up to 15' away. So you want to go for a haircut, to a gym, or restaurant?

Jimmy Carter is probably the best example about Christians living a life of integrity. If he lied while president it was probably in the national interest. Iran was not his fault. FOX has obviously done a good job on you re Biden. While he's not the best of the democratic candidates. At least he has a history of surrounding himself with good advisors.He knows when to keep his mouth shut.

I muffed the title to this thread. i doubt trump has ever shipped anything in his life. IMO USPS is the cheapest US service but has the worst tracking. Of course he is talking out his ass and Bezos is the target. Judge temporarily blocks Microsoft Pentagon cloud contract after Amazon suit I hope Bezos wins some damages from above. As trump for certain stuck his orange stupid mug into the equation.
