« on: May 12, 2020, 03:54:56 PM »And if it isn't Trump lying, it's Mitch McConnell:
https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/12/politics/fact-check-mcconnell-obama-trump-game-plan/index.html
From the article - thanks (love that Daniel Dale, but he is being misused by CNN, as I told him on Twitter)
There are certainly valid criticisms of Obama's pandemic preparations, and it's possible to argue that the playbook was inadequate for the current pandemic. A current NSC official, whom Politico quoted anonymously, described the 2016 document as "quite dated." It's not clear who in the Trump administration saw the 69-page playbook.
But - I do think Lara Trump should stow it - and Mitch makes everyone he appears with look silly.
No room for backtracking to Obama with this virus. Its about what is best to do today.
Also - any talk/thought of "_________ would have done this if in Trump's shoes" is politics - not helpful and totally unknown. But we will hear about it from Joe at the debates - maybe from Barack Obama prior to that.

Well... you guys backed Andy Beshear so heartily. Let's see how he acts on this.
Beshear runs Louisville PD?
He has plenty to do with a case going forward, if he so chooses
Likely his heavy hand wouldnt be needed but we'll see. There ARE calls for Beshear to act (from your linked piece)

Biden calls Trump, "this guy" as he stumbles through Stephanopolous interview
I think independents would like it more if there was some respect shown for office. Joe prefers to think he is the likable sort/choice. His manner of speak should be promoting this to a greater extent.

The US about to have more COVID-19 deaths than China has had reported cases.
This is so, so very sad
There will be residual deaths not counted, as with 9/11. Lives crushed.
But as always, "we shall overcome"

24 courts built, 5 for TV coverage
All 30 teams' players, coaches and execs (and I assume media) housed there for the duration of THEIR remaining season.

I forget where I hear this but a recent opinion on the airwaves was that a 4th LeBron title this year would be tainted - and shouldn't be counted in the march toward Jordan's 6.
Just a bit preposterous, I'd say
Related - is it better to make 9/10 Finals to 6, having won 6 - or is the 6/6 better?

And your definition of "good people" is even more broken than your standards for deciding who is "worthy" of your giving a fuck.
If you are saying that those working in the West Wing ar not good people - I think an episode of WW would help you understand the emptiness of that opinion
The one where the Republican is hired - and defends her new Dem coworkers to her friends that are ridiculing them
Bruce: Oh, damn. I wanted you to say it to his face. I wanted to see...
Harriet : I hate these people.
Bruce : Did you meet anyone there who isn't worthless?
Ainsley Hayes : Don't say that.
Bruce : Did you meet anyone there who has any - ?
Ainsley Hayes : I said don't say that. Say they're smug and superior. Say their approach to public policy makes you want to tear your hair out. Say they like high taxes and spending your money. Say they want to take your guns and open your borders, but don't call them worthless. At least don't do it in front of me. The people that I have met have been extraordinarily qualified, their intent is good. Their commitment is true, they are righteous, and they are patriots. And I'm their lawyer

« on: May 12, 2020, 02:25:48 AM »Because you don't give a damn about anybody but yourself and you lie to yourself about the poor and the vulnerable.
Certainly don't give a shit about you. You haven't earned it.
And that's one of the major differences between us.
When I thought somebody here whom I disliked was suicidal, I looked for a way to help that one.
I don't need people to earn being cared about, Kid. If bad shit were happening to you, I would care and want to help. Or Bambi or Ward or whomever.
And it's why I rage against the mistreatment of people I have never met - and why you think my rage is dumb. You don't give a fuck for anybody who hasn't "earned it," in your oh so precious measurement of human worth.
Money is more important. Convenience is more important.
We get it.
And I would still try to help you. Because you are a human being.
You don't get it
The way you speak about not liking how Trump addresses people -
you do that here.
That is all I mean about not earning it. Has nothing to do with disagreement on issues.
Maybe you don't realize you are doing it - and defending people who do it. That's fine.
