Spot on, because Christ obviously would have blamed everything on immigration, policies of the past administration, other countries, Democrats, impeachment and the gremlins that steal your socks while refusing to take any personal responsibility.

He would, of course, be suing to strip millions from their insurance, removing hundreds of thousands of our most vulnerable from federal food assistance programs and locking up children in cages where they can be physically abused and sexually assaulted by his personal Gestapo.

Because that’s the Christian thing to do!

I like inequality-adjusted HDI better since it doesn’t allow the richest lift up the score

As for the data:

Not a mathematician so I have no idea of the validity. But the CR overtaking the US when taking inequality into account was not surprising.

Not enough people have died yet.

Yes, I agree with this and I often cite USA’s position in the inequality-adjusted HDI which I believe is around 27th in the world (near Slovenia) and a more accurate picture of how the average American is doing.

After several days consuming zero TV coverage of the virus, I can confidently recommend tuning all this garbage out. You can’t do anything meaningful beyond what you already know you should do if you’re reading this thread. Turn off the TV and read another book, talk to your kids, hell play video games or go jack off. I promise you’ll feel better than you do watching the campaign rallies.

New statement from IC inspector general Michael Atkinson, who was fired by Trump on Friday.

“It is hard not to think that the President’s loss of confidence in me derives from my having faithfully discharged my legal obligations…”

Imagine not letting a doctor answer a question about medication, after recklessly pushing it on America as harmless and what do you got to lose.

Why would he be afraid to let the Doctor speak?

HERETIC! Burn him!

I suspect this is true but lol at me doing it. Although today was the first trump press conference I watched since the first week.

Today was not even supposed to have a press conference but it got called late. After ninety minutes CNN opined there was no new information in that press conference.

I think they primarily exist so Pence can suck Trump off in public. I am surprised Pence does not have all of Trump’s STDs.

If a democratic president fired an IG in similar circumstances the GOP would be going bat shit crazy.

After giving Trump billions in free media in 2016 the media is now…doing the exact same thing in 2020. Hard to think they don’t know what they’re doing at this point.

In fairness, it’s a lot harder to justify not broadcasting the president during a crisis, than it would have been to do what they should have in 2016. So, while I’d agree they’re fucking it up this time around as well, I don’t think it is the same kind of fuck up as last time.

Dems should have an organized rebuttal to every Trump press conference rally.

But they had been pulling back but today aired all of it. Maybe it was because it was called last minute they thought important new information might be shared but…

There is no reason to have cable w/ live sports gone.
