When considering Trump's comments and actions, keep in mind that he has the attention span of a goldfish and very nearly the IQ. He has zero empathy and probably even enjoys being responsible for the suffering of others- a real power trip.

And having a CFL season, even if abbreviated, would be a welcome thing to offset all the misery of the pandemic and herald a return to normalcy.

Some people are into that sort of thing.

The mortality rate for common influenza is 0.5 to 0.9%, and this is waaay higher, putting the lie to those who say its just another flu bug.

When the government doles out tax dollars to needy individuals, that is socialism. When the money is doled out to corporations, that is acceptable. The bigger the trough, the bigger the pigs.

Pence and the evangelical leaders are living proof that, even as self-identified followers of the way of the Christ, they are willing to sacrifice their professed beliefs in exchange for power over others. Not hard at all for people like Bill Maher and Ricky Gervais to mock them. Faith is supposed to be a source of comfort and guidance in our dealings with our fellow man, no matter who they are. It is not supposed to be used as an excuse to control others or excuse one's actions that do harm. God will get you for that.

Its warming up. There will be bushes soon.

And there goes Trump manufacturing his personal reality again.

Should Trump lose by a narrow margin, he will refuse to accept the results. If he loses in a landslide, he will go ballistic. Either way, he will allege, with no proof at all, that there was massive election fraud, just as he did last time. His hand-picked investigative committee found no irregularities at all and were ordered to not submit a report that would contradict Trump.

Trump's ego and personality will not allow him to resign- he will poison every well in a scorched earth policy before that happens. Trump will never finance his own campaign

AMERICA SPEAKS OUT!

AAAAND....THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER STRIKES AGAIN!

At his presser today, Pallister hinted that he would be easing some restrictions next week.

I maintain that if the polls continue to show a downward slide to oblivion for the GOP with Trump being the main reason, they will have to consider dumping him, and if they think that they can appear heroic by impeaching Trump, they absolutely will. They may even secretly negotiate with the Democrats that if another impeachment hearing is initiated by the Dems, the GOP will abstain and let Trump be impeached and removed from office by default.

FROM THE FILES OF IDIOTS ANONYMOUS:

GOP DOES DAMAGE CONTROL-AGAIN. On Monday, April 27, according to Isenstadt, Trump campaign adviser Justin Clark expressed his “displeasure” to Kevin McLaughlin, executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) — angrily telling McLaughlin that any Republican candidate who followed the advice of the memo should not expect the campaign’s support. McLaughlin, Isenstadt reports, “responded by saying he agreed with the Trump campaign’s position and — according to two people familiar with the conversation — clarified that the committee wasn’t advising candidates to not defend Trump over his response.” According to Isenstadt, McLaughlin stressed to Clark that the memo wasn’t saying that Trump shouldn’t be defended on coronavirus but rather, was offering advice on how he should be defended. https://www.alternet.org/2020/04/trump-campaign-angrily-responds-to-nrsc-memo-urging-republicans-not-to-defend-the-president-on-coronavirus-response/

Looks like his go-to is chelation "therapy" which has been thoroughly debunked. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today warned eight companies that their over-the-counter (OTC) chelation products are unapproved drugs and devices and that it is a violation of federal law to make unproven claims about these products. There are no FDA-approved OTC chelation products. The companies that received the warning letters claim that their products treat a range of diseases by removing toxic metals from the body. Some also claim to treat autism spectrum disorder, cardiovascular diseases, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, macular degeneration, and other serious conditions. Some companies that received the warning letters also claim their products will detect the presence of heavy metals to justify the need for chelation therapy. The drug products involved have not been evaluated by the FDA for treatment of these diseases, and violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). Despite the claims of the companies that received warning letters, the effectiveness in treating any of the diseases listed is unsubstantiated. Depending on the condition, when relying on unproven OTC chelation products to treat serious conditions, patients may delay seeking effective medical care. In addition, there are serious safety issues associated with chelation products, which can alter the levels of certain substances in the blood. Even when used under medical supervision, these products can cause serious harm, including dehydration, kidney failure, and death. “These products are dangerously misleading because they are targeted to patients with serious conditions and limited treatment options,” said Deborah Autor, director of the Office of Compliance in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “The FDA must take a firm stand against companies who prey on the vulnerability of patients seeking hope and relief.”

Can't make out what he said

Koresh was absolutely nuts. He, along with Jim Jones were the poster boys for Messianic complexes and ought to give you a good insight into Donald Trump's insanity.
