As Ron put it, " In profit motivation the object is to get an edge."

I think Bill misspoke its properly called the trumpdemic what size do you take? #Trumpdemic trends nationwide as people vent at president’s coronavirus response The nation is mobilizing to fight the trumpdemic

No I was thinking, musing, about who is going to overhaul the republican party after trump is gone. Mitt Romney is the only one that came to immediate mind. The only republican left with a conscious.

trump will not offer Iran sanctions relief as coronavirus spreads rapidly in the country Instead as Iran has asked for a IMF loan to help fight the C-19 virus. The US government has chosen to reject sanctions relief. Punishing average Iranians is not new for US governments. "But we have been here before. Brutal U.S. sanctions on Iraq in the 1990s caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi children. Multiple senior U.N. humanitarian officials quit in protest of the policy, with one of them denouncing it as “genocide.” Bolton’s former colleagues over at the neoconservative pressure group United Against Nuclear Iran, as Eli Clifton revealed, have been “urging major pharmaceutical companies to ‘end their Iran business,’ focusing on companies with special licenses — most often under a broadly defined ‘humanitarian exemption’ — to conduct trade with Iran.” Yet the lie from the WH is " “The whole world should know that humanitarian assistance to Iran is wide open, it’s not sanctioned,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a Friday briefing with President Donald Trump at the White House. " So while the WH lies in press conferences, it prosecutes the drug companies for selling needed medical equipment and drugs under that exact policy. Meanwhile a coalition of 25 organizations sent a " letter signed by various organisations, including the liberal Jewish group J Street, think-tank International Crisis Group, Oxfam America and the non-profit Physicians for Social Responsibility." Urging sanctions relief. The letter was drafted by National Iranian American Council (NIAC).

Typically a judge looks at the havoc that was wrought by those shoes. Passing judgment doesn't require duplicating in whole or in part, those same crimes and felonious actions. Take trump as an example. His voters didn't have to steal from charities in order to vote for him. His apparatchiks didn't have to defraud students in order to applaud him. His apologists didn't have to become sociopathic in order to understand the damage he is doing to America.They just had to mark those ballots.

V. the current plan before the senate which is for free C-19 testing for uninsured. Then send them home to die.

Sorry Wendy, I laughed at that. AhHm Attack mode on: Obviously you heard that on FOX

Really, White House sets record for longest span with no press briefings It’s been 1128 days since Donald Trump’s last press conference. In the meantime, he has tweeted 474 times. Was it Merkel that said "speak softly and show your intellect"? or trump that said "shoot your mouth off and show your lack of intellect"?

BRILLIANT

The Leader of the Free World Gives a Speech, and She Nails It No lies, no B.S., straight talk about what the country is facing. “This is serious” “Take it seriously.” "since the Second World War—no challenge to our nation has ever demanded such a degree of common and united action.” Merkel famous for honesty, intelligence, authentic, values, She quietly assesses the different factors involved in a given situation and then decides which way she wants to go, and does it quietly and without fanfare.” If you took a private poll of the G20 leaders, the most powerful leaders in the world, and you asked, “Who do you respect the most in this group?” Merkel wins the poll. Or ask “Who would chair this group in a fair way?” They’d put the gavel in her hands. " While another countries president parrots 'Our Big War.' “our war against the Chinese virus” “I view it as a, in a sense, a wartime President,” The trump family is famous for puffery.

Instead of starting a new thread. I thought this story about trump's closest and a full equal in lying. OK he lies 1/4 as much as trump. Is handling the C-19 threat to his little fiefdom. About the shortages of equipment. Just another politician lying to cover everything up.

Whoa there. Something is very very fishy here. Tucker doesn't call for the rule of law or justice unless there is a serious underlying political angle.Its as fishy as you and AOC agreeing. I smell something here...

You all just don't understand. The profit motivation of a congressman is to get an edge.The profit motivation of a president is to get an edge. Life is about edge.

Damn...just damn. I sure hope it goes well.

Speaking of which Government response updates: Trump calls himself a 'wartime president,' promises 'total victory' Evidently "total victory" will have to be delayed for a while longer. Evidently 5.56 ammo is running out. Lab testing supplies to conduct C-19 testing are" the latest stumble in a botched effort to track the spread of coronavirus that has left the U.S. weeks behind many other developed countries." Because " government labs in the U.S. are competing for supplies with larger commercial labs and governments around the world. In conference calls this week with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, some lab staff warned that they may have to shut down testing within days due to lack of components," Canada is currently testing 10,000 a day and according to the above story the US 20,000 a day. Perhaps Americans could get a C-19 test when they go up to Canada to get cheap insulin and prescription drugs.But they will have to move fast because the border closes in under 10 hours. Too bad the federal government is not a "shipping clerk" and refuses to use the Defense Production Act, It could ....oh well... thats redumbdent.

Who would have thunk it, both of us livin on the edge.

Well I am hyper sensitive about that now. I had two interactions with the most dangerous persons in this C-19 social isolation era. The husband of a pharmacist and I just got a haircut. Since I don't want to see the barber till this is over. I hardly recognized myself when I left and promptly showered with lots of shampoo !!!

Thats ok my headache is gone now.

Sometimes I get sucked in. Thanks for wasting 20 minutes. Page 7 "All patients in Marseille center were proposed oral hydroxychloroquine sulfate 200 mg, three times per day during ten days (in this preliminary phase ,we did not enrolled children in the treatment group based in data indicating that children develop mild symptoms of COVID-19... Page 13 "The cause of failure for hydroxychloroquine treatment should be investigated by testing the isolated SARS-CoV-2 strains of the non-respondents and analyzing their genome, and by analyzing the host factors that may be associated with the metabolism of hydroxychloroquine." Time out while I go bang my head into the closest door frame ten times.

I quote you but address this to airdvr and others with the similar view of the world. On world stage, Trump loathed as much as Obama loved, Pew survey says Jan8/20 Donald Trump has dragged America's global reputation to an all-time low

The entire discussion about this point is a perfect example about why trump lies so much. Why FOX can echo the lies to effect. Once you understand how the tactics work on the mind. You can dispense with "experts".

Relatives of Michael the Black Man. Reformed from the days when he was: "in a murderous Black supremacist cult and went on trial for allegedly stabbing a man in the eye with a stick and beating another man who was later decapitated". No you can't make this stuff up when examining the people that support trump.Wow. I challenge anyone to read the entire story in the link. Then try to understand his psychology.

Wendy has made some good points and even turtle has touched on one, sort of.. AOC, well she does bring an important national view to the macro. But is too much in the day to day dynamics of everyday management. IMO a woman brings an important dynamic to the decision equation. More so when the whole room is old white men.

Coverup and lying is what communist dictatorships do. Concealing scandals keeps the inner elite in power. While they can profit from the event. What, did I say communist, I meant trump kleptocracy.

Oh Ron, helping us understand Christianity post by post.
