US Politics

Lets see if we can keep this thread a little more civil.

I found this interview very interesting.  A lot of soft balls thrown at Trump, he explained his back pedalling on his more extreme issues as a lot of his claims as opening bids for negotiation purposes.  Which .. whatever .. I still think that those are insincere claims he used to get elected.

He does now come across way more presidential then he did prior to the election.  A lot of his noise, yelling, and rhetoric has been scaled back.

Do respect this one though:

Quote

 

Lesley Stahl: Are you gonna take the salary, the president’s salary?

Donald Trump: Well, I’ve never commented on this, but the answer is no. I think I have to by law take $1, so I’ll take $1 a year. But it’s a -- I don’t even know what it is.

Donald Trump: Do you know what the salary is?

Lesley Stahl: $400,000 you’re giving up.

Donald Trump: No, I’m not gonna take the salary. I’m not taking it.

"Jackson was widely criticized for giving an uncharacteristically glowing and untruthful assessment of President Trump's health, saying that "if he had a healthier diet over the last 20 years, he might live to be 200 years old", and that he had "incredibly good genes, and it's just the way God made him".

Most people on social media will say that they pray for Trump to recover. We know that a lot of these same people saying that really hopes he gets seriously ill or dies. Personally myself, I hope he does recover so he knows that this virus isn't fake or a hoax. Maybe he'll decide to take Covid more seriously as far as trying to eradicate it in the US. Somehow, I doubt it but we can hope. 

Expecting Trump to do the right thing? Good luck with that.

As per Republican policy, everything they say should be diagnosed with extreme caution.

He will have learned his lesson.....just like the impeachment trial.

Susan Collins is very concerned

This ******* guy... knowingly goes out while having the virus. What a piece of ****. He needs to be thrown in jail for this crap. Especially with the news that they showed up late to the debate to avoid testing. Bunch of assholes. 

CONflicting reports from all over the place

JUST IN:  A source familiar with the president's condition tells reporters:
“The president’s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care. We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery.” 
- Steven Portney

BREAKING: “The president’s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care. We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery.”
A source familiar with the President's health, to pool reporters- Sarah Cook

This Conley guy is a bullshitter, but his comments strongly imply Trump needed supplemental oxygen at the White House on Wednesday or some earlier date - Aaron Rupar

We’ve never been able to be confident that anyone speaking for this president in any capacity - politics, policy, law, medicine - is being straight with us. 
We’ve gotten dubious/confusing/incomplete statements from Trump doctors for five years now. - Daniel Dale

Doctors say President Trump is in "exceptionally good spirits," fever free and not having difficulty breathing while at military hospital for treatment. - The Associated Press.
 

Presidential physician Conley just made it sound like Trump could walk out of the hospital today - Rupar

 

 

Yeah. Every USA citizen should be enraged. I am- and I don't have a monkey in this circus....

Everybody’s getting their stories straight.

Odd that he was reading from his notes when he quoted the 72 hours...

And that a second doctor was mistaken with his timeline.

Sen. Loeffer: "The fact that this virus has reached the White House shows that we need to hold the Chinese communist party accountable."
 

👁‍🗨 Unbelievable. First she s t r e t c h e s the truth about wearing masks during the ACB introductory event last Saturday, then she tells this mighty huge whopper...with a straight face.

So much THIS...

It's incredible that supposed smart people in their fields become imbeciles and clueless once they get close to Trump, quite the spell he weaves.

Did they also clarify that they have always been at war with East aisa?

Or confirm there will be a vaccine before Election Day?

This is my call...  Trump emerges as 'patient zero' for a new vaccine and shakes the 'didn't do anything about covid' criticism just in time for the election - then the vaccine turns out to be bunk just after he's elected.... 

I don't trust any of the press releases from the White House and Republicans

So... the president is sick with covid... so his supporters hold a "get well" rally...

To what end? "I'll show you my support mr president by trying to get covid too!"

 

MAGA = Deathcult.

Eyes are opening..

 

Gee, where was their anger when he downplayed a known threat in February? When Democrat states like New York And California were getting hammered? When he refused to provide PPE to states that were not effusive enough in their praise of him? When his rallies led to Herman Cain’s death? I guess when someone else’s life was put in jeopardy, it was not worth their indignation, only when it impacted their selfish interests did it become an issue. 

If this is the reason that Trump didn't divulge that he had the virus and knew he had the virus before the luncheon so he could get money for his cash strapped campaign then he is truly evil

 

Upon reflection on the appearance of the doctors telling us about Trump’s condition: 

It looked to me that the whole thing was staged and wasn’t really informational, but rather, another hip, hip hurrah BS Trump rally sort of thing. 
I mean, who sets an informational display such as that, to relay what should be important information. A photo opp in front of the Walter Reed Medical Centre, with several doctors? lining up behind this guy. 
Then they mess up the message when reading from from a script?

Its so hard to believe anything emanating from the WH

That's the Republican manacing power pose in case you want to ask then why they are wearing masks outside all of a sudden

They look like a bunch of toddlers who were just told to do something they didn't want to do.
