Save for the dumbest people in this country, it should be obvious to anyone with a brain that a reality TV celebrity shouldn't be in charge of matters of national life and death. Sorry. This isn't a Donald Trump problem. And removing Donald Trump won't be a solution. This is a Republican problem. And has been for 20 years.

bcl05 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I'm in the midwest. It is here. It is not reflected in the reported national numbers (I don't know why), but it is definitely here. My hospital is like nothing I've ever seen right now. The daily tally of reported cases is basically meaningless at this point, and more a reflection of our inadequate testing than anything else . 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports from Ohio and MN suggest that its there are at a wider scale than the numbers say. There's also a growing epicenter in the South. 7 minutes ago, Larry said: Sorry.

I agree but a Trump problem now is a Republican problem, considering they are now on a three year journey of a real life human centipede experiment. Any rejection of Trump at this point will come stapled to a down ballot rejection of the GOP as well, as we saw in 2018.

Dismissed as "gee, he really got screwed by that virus". Dismissed as "He was never a real Republican, anyway." They'll be back in power in 2-4 years. And will do exactly the same thing again.

steve09ru Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Gov. Cuomo was basically saying the same and talking about a need to restart the economy as well pointing out that there’s a need to do so while also balancing the public health crisis for the ones at high risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said that she hasn't been in the same place as her husband for the last two weeks and that she's outside the 14-day period for getting sick.

But as to the "It's not all of them"? How many R's in DC did not just vote that publicly admitting to using diverted government funds as a club to bully a foreign government into making an illegal campaign contribution should not be punished in any way? How many did not vote for the GOP's deficit explosion, the instant they got power? How many GOP politicians have been willing to even call voter suppression laws what they are, let alone vote against them? How many have objected to gerrymandering their states? Donald Trump has been turning the entire Executive Branch into a personal bullying tool. How many have done anything beyond maybe making a couple of tweets about how they're "deeply disturbed" (but will not do a single thing beyond that)? Or just to be more generic, when every single bit of news that comes out is greeted by a unanimous chorus of utter lies about the subject, has so much as one ever stood up and said "that's not true"? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother is in Columbus, Ohio and already laid off, trying to get a forbearance on his mortgage. Stay at Home Orders are going to change peoples perspectives, maybe not their politics or overall intelligence, but this is already hitting everyone whether they know it or not.

I don't see very many posts from you about political issues that do not include your hope for executions of Republicans. But, 5 minutes later I read... 🤨 first, i haven't posted what you accused me of (yes, details very much do matter in this) nonetheless i do have a long and storied history of disappointing people of all demographics you do not suffer in isolation there fwiw, i usually choose words in exact fashion and in cases of this nature mainly to serve as venting and point-making with what i see as merited hardness of expression that's still more illustrative than literal, but as i say, even when totally heartfelt in the emo of the moment, putting expressions into actions are always subject to legal and other consequences i obviously am not one who thinks all republicans are bad at all (which would be stupid), but i think the institution overall has been more an ignorance-fostering disease pit for a very long time than a benign or even well-intentioned productive political engine promoting a more equal and just society true, if anyone's been a loyal goper a long time they likely own some piece of the denial and lack of action to repair those long term issues, among other things...but there have been gopers in past leadership roles too that were pointing out some of their party's internal issues as identified, openly, since gwb at minimum...but they lost the battle in overwhelming defeat to the trumptista types going by the evidence of the steady gop support he's had in polls since day one no matter what...so there we go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really, really sad to watch decades of intellectual rot in conservative politics play out in this crisis. His yell about BORDERS this morning shows what he thinks the real threat is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
