[wemakeyousoundb]

I obviously have different standards for marking success...

Donald Trump gives himself an 'A+' for his handling of the coronavirus. Uh, what? | CNN Politics

Very soon, the United States will mark a somber milestone: 200,000 Americans will have died from the coronavirus.

The columnist is probably right, in his main point that he simply completely insaulate from what the American p=ublic actually think.
Shit, one way and another, America is in for a really ugly November

this needs a "what the fuck is the idiot going on about" react emoji

There was a really good program on the the ebb and surge of pandemics. This one seems to be behaving typically.

The man makes me sick

Trump told a crowd of nearly all white supporters that they have 'good genes'

Trump has previously suggested that he has superior genes and expressed pride in his "German blood."

President Donald Trump has exhibited an obsession with the notion that certain people have superior genes for a long time.

• Trump on Friday told a crowd of nearly all white supporters that they have "good genes" and referenced the "racehorse theory."
• 
  
• "You have good genes. You know that, right? You have good genes. A lot of it is about the genes, isn't it, don't you believe? The racehorse theory. You think we're so different? You have good genes in Minnesota," Trump said.
• 
  
• Minnesota is a predominantly white state where many people are of Scandinavian descent.

• Trump has previously suggested he has superior genes and boasted about his "German blood."

Perhaps this should go to a "What stupid shit will Trump do tomorrow" thread

‘Virtually dictatorial’: Trump has ‘secret’ powers nobody knows about, experts reveal

Emergency documents leave Americans vulnerable to far-reaching executive authority, legal analysts and government watchdogs warn

www.independent.co.uk

The moment the president of the US declares a national emergency, powers obscured to the public become available to them – a series of far-reaching authoritarian measures that legal analysts fear could justify mass arrests and federal troops patrolling American streets.

If invoked, so-called “secret powers” could supersede constitutional protections and set an authoritative precedent that legal scholars and analysts fear would effectively erase American democracy.

Oh christ, I wished they hadn't posted that. he might even find out!

I was wondering whether to post it myself - he's bound to dip into urban after a heavy day on Fox

Trump already knows about his secret powers - he was bragging about them in March like a 10-year-old trying to impress his classmates.

When President Trump declared emergencies on March 13 under both the Stafford Act and the National Emergencies Act, he boasted, “I have the right to do a lot of things that people don’t even know about.”

... Some of the most potent emergency powers at his disposal are likely ones we can’t know about, because they are not contained in any publicly available laws. Instead, they are set forth in classified documents known as “presidential emergency action documents.”

Given that they could make their first appearance in the coronavirus crisis, Congress should insist on having full access to them.

He's managed to totally desensitise me. I clicked the following link on the BBC website:


Ruth Bader Ginsburg lies in response at US Supreme Court steps


Only when I saw the flag draped coffin did I realise the headline said "repose" not "response". He's obviously convinced me subconsciously that they all lie and that Bader Ginsburg had lied about dying and and then fibbed again when challenged by journalists about her apparent resurrection.

Openly stating to camera yesterday that he will not agree to a peaceful transfer of power because he doesn’t see the election as legitimate- is that him being stupid and saying the quiet part out loud again or is he testing all the republican representatives to see if they are all up for a coup or if any will resign.

Do you have a link for that?

"There won’t be a transfer, frankly. There will be a continuation."

 

[fieryjack]

Wasn't the only stupid shit he said either.

Wasn't the only stupid shit he said either.

That's actually well written in that it reports what Trump says while taking the piss out of it. I normally can't abide the 'sketch' and parliamentary type pieces because you end up not finding out what the person actually said so there's nothing to get hold of.

Why do there seem to be no 2nd Amendment gun nutjobs on the left? Isn't their whole thing about being able to rise up and overthrow a tyrannical government?

There's Redneck Revolt and Socialist Rifle Association, for starters.

There's some pro-gun leftist groups outside, including the Socialist Rifle Association - although the SRA seems to spend more time distributing food to the needy than shooting at things.

Now, he thinks that the government should shut down

Fair enough a bit of r nr would people good, come back nice and refreshed in case an emergency happens

Though200000 dead from a pandemic, wild fires raging out of control, mass unemployment and civil disorder raging. Not sure what constitutes an emergency

I'm an anti-gun leftie, but if I was in the U.S. right now, I'd seriously consider buying a weapon. Seems pretty sensible given what might come. The arms manufacturers must be loving the atmosphere in the country right now.

He's been jeered at again. Won't like that at all.
