Trump handling of Covid 19

[Mav]

Haha.

So I’m guessing he’ll stop using Twitter then.

 

[giantroo]

Haha.

I wish they would just ban him from it.

This is an unmitigated s**t show. What a disaster of a human being.

 

[scottywiper]

He is the antithesis of the steady hand at the helm...which is kind of what you need there at the moment...

There was always going to be something in his Presidency that would define his leadership but I just never expected that instead of a singular event crisis it would be a year in it being 2020.

Just after trump "made america great again". Think the term great is used in the context of "great big mess".

Prolly 2 events, covid and floyd.

Yes really.

This is how intelligent people think.

There is a certain type of person that makes statements like this.

Are you the most intelligent person here? Do you also have the BEST WORDS?

As a scientist and a non believer in telepathy, I cannot take any position as I am not aware of what he has or hasn't been informed, then accepted or denied.

You don't know this either.

I think we do actually. And it is exactly what one would predict.

s**t, sorry, the part about Whitlam bypassing political norms.

Off topic slightly but just following this up.. As there is a good article from Pilger about the topic, I thought you might enjoy.

Great article. I remember reading this during an International Studies unit at uni and getting really ******* angry. Then travelling through South America more recently and learning in each country exactly how and when the United States ****ed with their democracies and installed puppet governments somewhat reinforced my view on American foreign policy.

The sheer amount of propaganda that emanates from the states casting them as the "good guys" is astounding.

Biden is now equal favourite with trump to win the election!

The fact Trump maintains a grip on more than the rabid 10% you'd expect as a maximum is a mystery to me. I guess a lot of it can be sheeted home to the GOP and their steadfast work normalising him over the past few years, but still - people have eyes and ears (yes, cue Orwell quote).

To be fair, a choice between Clinton/Biden/Sanders or Trump.. .the write in candidate "This election is a joke" or "Mickey Mouse" be expected

I am more and more thankful we have compulsory elections and party voting as I think it helps eliminate popularity candidates

We’ve also got a party system not a presidential race.. we can ditch leaders throughout their tenure, not having to wait four years.

How can the virus tell?! Anti-racism protests SAFE from Covid-19, but anti-lockdown protests are NOT, health ‘experts’ claim

An open letter signed by hundreds of self-styled health ‘experts’ touts “protests against systemic racism” as not only Covid-19 safe but “vital to the national public health” - while protests against lockdowns remain deadly.

In an extraordinary condemnation, the former defense secretary backs protesters and says the president is trying to turn Americans against one another.

Guess there was a Rubicon for Mattis after all.

I hadn't heard of rt news so thought I would check it out and found that it is a "Russian Government funded international network". On that basis, I am not stupid enough to give it any credibility or bother to comment on it

Eh... Russia Today used to be a fairly good news organization (as long as you understood that any reporting they do on the Russian government will be somewhat compromised). People should stop looking for bias free news. It doesn't exist. You should treat all news critically, and dismiss organizations that consistently deliberately lie.

As to this particular article, it is click baity as *. But yes, there is a difference between protesting over the murder of a citizen by the police force, and protesting because you can't get a haircut. Are you familiar with Maslows hierarchy of needs Snake?

There’s bias in everything but RT has given up any pretense of not being emotionally manipulative a while ago. It’s a authoritarian version of that lefty page raw story- both want to outrage rather than inform.
