Trump loves big numbers, crowd size, stock market, IQ, he is killing more to get those numbers up.

Think of the absurdity of an Administration who wants local government to control things yet will only support those decisions when the decision is what the Pres. wants.

What is the pop. %?
I remember your snarky comments early on about it being all Dems states. Now it is primarily Rep. states.

the president is allowed to have an opinion...like if a local government decides to disband their police force...should a president support that decision if he believes it is wrongheaded?

Seems like his opinion changes depending on whether he agrees with the local decision or not. He is threatening to take $ away from educ. (even though he hasn't told us how). Sort of like the hypocrisy the Rep. states all talk about local control but when the Dem. mayor did things (masks) the hypocites got upset.

A large percentage of teachers are forced to buy their own school supplies, let’s pull federal funding if they don’t do as the king demands. There is a pattern here, so many times he has made statements of actions he plans to take, which he probably doesn’t even know he has no power to implement, or if he does; it’s action he would take if given the same power of his dictator friends. Once he realizes he can’t take that action, he flips into punish those he can to make someone pay the price for not following the kings wishes. Mary Trumps book probably has some great insight of why he is so f*cked up.

I don’t need a book to understand how he got to where he is, I’ve dealt with similar men with the same personality defects. Just like I don’t need a book to know who a Trump really is, his minions believe anything he says, especially the young and dumb. Shocked to see in a fishing group I belong to on facebook have a thread about masks becoming the new normal and so many suggesting this is a left hoax and that it magically disappears after November. Several even boldly stated I’m not wearing one now, screw that it’s not even as bad as the flu.
Felt like sending them pictures of what being on a ventilator can be like.

If in March I told you that come July, there would be a shortage of PPE, 8-10 day waits to get test results, 60,000 cases/day & nearly 1000 deaths/day, would you have thought we were succeeding or failing?

Angela Merkel yesterday: "As we are experiencing first-hand, you cannot fight the pandemic with lies and disinformation any more than you can fight it with hatred or incitement to hatred... The limits of populism and denial of basic truth are being laid bare."

Angela Merkel said the other day: "As we are experiencing first-hand, you cannot fight the pandemic with lies and disinformation any more than you can fight it with hatred or incitement to hatred... The limits of populism and denial of basic truth are being laid bare."

25th Amendment
Trump’s leadership here has gone from incompetent to downright criminal. The white elephant is and always has been in the room.

You been snorting Tweety’s #^&#^&#^&#^&?
In Rasmussen poll (Tweety’s favorite pollster) only 74% of Republicans are voting for him. Not to mention the many conservatives who don’t identify as Republicans anymore because of Tweety.
And now he’s commuting sentences rather than pardon, so his accomplices can still plead the fifth.
And as Tweety says that’s an admission of guilt.

I heard they are already planning a Women’s March to protest all those rights that he didn’t take away from them the last time he was elected.

My hope is Moscow Mitch and some of these other GOP boot lickers who have strapped themselves to the Trump luxury liner go down with the ship.
