Funny also that you don't think his discussed actions have anything to do with helping Americans in time of need.  Just to help himself.  You are a sad, sad, broken record.

When Trump won the election talk was of how war with N Korea was imminent.

How quick you forget.  He was a MONGER, after all.  A loose cannon.

Turns out he was just a guy who wanted to more properly equip his military - just in case.

And I'd ask you again what "results" you think we are getting from having an unpresidential idiot with no credibility in the office....

I've met a few centrist folks who voted Trump, thinking we needed a shake-up and that a businessman would be good for the economy.  But then they were somewhat horrified when Trump continued being Trump and never switched to that so presidential mode he referenced.  Biden looks to tap into those who want a president to act dignified, be prepared, keep things functioning normally.  Could be a fair amount of suburban voters uncomfortable with Trump's reality presidency, and the chaos he engenders.

Centrists, huh? Come for the money, stay for the racism.

re: katrinavirus botching

It's still early, but the early performance hasn't been good, and will look worse when/if things get much worse.

GSW v. Nets game to be held without fans.  Due to viral concerns.

The stock market is in the tank big time.
Outbreaks are popping up all over, and any state might be the next Italy.

The Trump Admin started off well with a tough travel ban form China.  But then they wasted the breathing room they bought, and didn't get preparations under way.  A mask shortage!  Really?  Congress had to more than triple the budget request Trump asked for.  All that minimizing the dangers is going to look bad if the virus spreads far and wide and tens of thousands of Americans die.

The katronavirus is already looking bad for Trump on many levels, but if infections spread widely, and lockdowns are necessary and millions of lives disrupted significantly, well the Katrina/Bush comparisons will be seriously underselling things.

I was in the NBC Washington newsroom the day the ACA website crashed and they were calling it “‘Obama’s Katrina! One was a natural disaster the other man made.”

I said Katrina was a failure of government at every level as a major American city was destroyed 1500 people died. That was a disaster. Today a website crashed, at worst it’s a fuck up!

I certainly hope this does not turn out to be Trump’s Chernobyl.

It’s because he’s a mob puppet.

Maybe if he’d made a clean break from his organized crime business and shady associates we could think he’s on our side. He hasn’t. He isn’t. We don’t.

23 years for Harvey.

"Let this be a lesson" [or something like that]…"to men about how to treat women" [or something like that] was said by a woman about the sentence.

Noted.

His lawyer? said; "If I were a man today I'd be getting written consent."

So would I, written and video'd consent....still no guarantees, so best not to bother.
Harmony the robot lady is a far better idea.

No, he was and is a monger and a loose cannon. And no, his goal is to build the military, without regard to properly equipping them.

I think folks are mistaken when they think "being Presidential" is a big tide turner.  People vote their reality.  If a BETTER GUY is representing us internationally, so what?  Doesn't get results.

Candidate Trump: “The world is laugh8ng at us!”

Pres #45 at UN: “They were laughing with me.”

More positive results than Trump's been getting.
