Godamighty, if Trump really was taking charge I would be exponentially more worried. Governors and health care workers are taking charge.

You mean they're doing their best to take charge. Meanwhile they've got to walk on eggshells or get fired.

 

[Lanny]

Tell me how you really feel.

I think he said it all in about as terse as he could get.

Trump is just trying to divert attention elsewhere. Epic fail. No one will forget how irresponsible and reckless he has been.

 

[Orion Bailey]

I hope the best outcome for us all.
I just found out that my cousin who passed yesterday morning, did pass from the virus. She went to the hospital in Lebanon and they sent her home saying she had a bad case of bronchitis, she died in her sleep.
Now they are saying she it was the virus and she should have been admitted. Did someone make the wrong call? It doesn't matter now, what matters is we learn from it and try to prevent other tragedies.

So sorry for your loss.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Sorry to hear about your cousin. My condolences man. That's tough.

Stay well!

It's nice to see a company actually saying the emperors clothes are missing. Bravo to GM and Ventec to standing up and doing whats right in spite of the temper tantrum coming out of the White House.

His base most certainly will. Or rather, won't give a shit about the past recklessness, because it's sure to lead to future steadiness and level headed decisions.

Actually, temper tantrum isn't the right word. I should've said they were doing whats right in spite of money grubbing at all costs mindset of the white house.


How anyone doesn't see through his schemes is beyond me.

 

[julius]

Well, he has gotten more stable and level headed as his presidency has gone on.

You know, Florida has a reputation for a reason. And this guy pretty much confirmed it.

I have a theory that Holywood probably auditioned Florida's governor for the Good Place but decided he made the Jason character seem too stupid.

I think Portland has quite a reputation too. When I lived in Canada for a while, when people would find out I was from Portland I was asked multiple times if I was a Hippie, and if I did drugs. Maybe it was just oh he's American, I don't know but I found the reactions quite entertaining. Especially when they thought I was like a crazy leftist and I would think I am in Canada and you guys think I might be a crazy a leftist heh.

this is clearly politically motivated. He even said he had a vendetta against them because of the plant in Ohio, a state he needs to win in 2020.

This fucktard cares about nothing more than his own re-election and has put thousands of lives at stake. This is nothing new.

So the way to combat a virus that destroys the lungs is tobacco which destroys the lungs? If only that was real
