OT: All Things Coronavirus Covid-19 - Part XI - MOD ADVISORY POST 1

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Again, take me seriously but only sometimes and I decide when but only later and then I can change it any time I want. Confusing times.

 

[Fenway]

I plan on sitting out all social media, message boards everything until he’s gone - he makes my skin crawl.

I heard the special announcement on the radio about what he apparently said and was confused so logged on to watch it.

I thought he was 100% serious but apparently he was being sarcastic. I’m a little slow so I didn’t pick it up

Trump says remarks about heat, light, disinfectant were sarcastic

He was serious when he said it and then changed gears when he went behind the curtain and was told how insane it sounded.

I think we can all agree that the daily briefings need to stop and they should only either have a weekly briefing or one where some actual important new developments come out, yes?

I'd like to see more reporting on the struggles of out of work Americans. Many are struggling badly out there. The Trump media daily fight I don't care for and serves no purpose to help anyone, but obviously it gets all the coverage.

standing up for the working class American by making them pay more money to get mail >>>>>>


So out of touch.

trump doesn't want people to be able to mail in their vote. That is at least part of this. If we are still having COVID19 issues we need to be able to mail it . trump is such a vile evil man.

He needs his campaign stops

And 600,000 short of what heart disease killed in 2019.

Lots of sobering mortality numbers when you take a look at all deaths in a year broken down

Except you can't give heart disease to someone else.

Kidding.....sort of.

If Trump was being sarcastic, let me just say this: He did a GREAT job of showing it!

To me, it would have been far more acceptable if he'd come out and said, you know what, I was spit balling ideas. I'm not a doctor so I ask them questions and they tell me if it's possible or not. I misspoke and in the moment didn't realize what I was suggesting. My bad.

Instead we get a "you guys thought I was serious???"

 

[LSCII]

When did admitting you made a mistake become impossible for people to do? I apologize to my wife all the time for shit I didn't even do, because it's easier than a fight. And if I do f*** up, I absolutely fall on the sword and get it over with. We are living in f***ing Crazytown right now.

They literally rewrote the description of the Strategic National Stockpile to match Kushner's misstatement about it. They've failed up at every moment in their pampered lives, why would they think for a second that they would be held to a mistake?

Man Just Buying One Of Every Cleaning Product In Case Trump Announces It’s Coronavirus Cure

This was the Onion a month ago - makes me tremble to think where the discourse will be a month from now

I think it’s part of his whole MO to not apologize. Never back down, never show weakness. I think that connects to other, larger issues but I don’t want to get too far off topic.

Or smaller issue lol

Lol. Not what I was getting at but good dig.

 

[Over the volcano]

Now if he could just admit he’s list been sarcastic this whole time and hasn’t really been serious about being president.

It's the laughable idea that to be a good leader you have to always look strong, never admit mistakes, deflect/deny, etc.

trump NEVER does the right thing and never will. He is too small minded of a human to admit he is wrong or say he is sorry

No worries, he was just joking. you know, jokes? lol

Trump has not changed in 30+ years

Not to mention that he's said similar things in the recent past, and people have believed him, tried what he's suggested and effing died.

Words have consequences.
