Very disheartening and yet the sheeple still worship.
one needs empathy to care about others.
He has never shown any in the past, he is not going to have it now.
He is totally out of his depth.
There appears to be fewer blogs and posts supporting Trump since the virus.
Because his response was insupportable I guess.


Although I laugh at his commentary, it's really not funny.
Let's see how fast some people will forget when election day is here. devil
Shame on all who have used what we are all going through to try and sew division, to try and politicize, who are so consumed with hatred and deranged that they just want to use this challenge as an excuse to spew endless bile and hate towards their perceived enemy. You are all dead inside.
Because his response directly affects his supporters health and well-being.

His support relies upon discrimination. It hinges upon the idea that it's acceptable to make some people suffer, or even kill them, whilst other people are protected and/or make gains.

The virus is largely indiscriminate and Trump is failing to make sure that only certain groups of people suffer and die.

Had he done more to protect everyone from the virus, he could have been hailed as a hero and returned to service as normal after the event.

But hey, block remote voting, put everyone in a position where they have to break the law, risk their lives, or have them too poor to get certain government issued ID required to vote and he'll get a second term anyway.
now it's a crime to play golf. help
now it's a crime to play golf.

Depending on your location, it could be.
Public parks and recreational are shut down across the country.
However... some private golf courses appear to have special privilege, as long as they adhere to safe social distancing.
I doubt it can be enforced, especially if 2 share a golf cart.

Anyway, here's a map on the subject:

from what i've seen, there has been no United sates at all. it's been attack, attack, attack.
"Nobody can work with Trump. He doesn't have the capacity to do that and it makes him a dangerous spanner in the works."

Anybody can work with anybody, if the will to achieve a common goal is there. And indeed there have been so many instances of that, for anyone that has had their eyes open. Between people who otherwise don't like each other very much. Because you do what you have to do. You deploy your resources. You work towards the ultimate goal. You foster positivity and determination. At the same time stress levels are high and people can say something that they may later regret. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about people who are committed to negativity, to politicization, who have allowed themselves become unhinged and ideologically possessed. Most people I think overall have done well - but there is a disturbingly large number of people who seemingly have lost complete control of their emotions and are locked in a never-ending cycle of rage, as if blaming one person or one Party is an easy answer to the complexity of all the problems we face. It's not good-natured - or even fair - criticism. Because that would necessitate applying criticism to ALL places, and ALL people, who deserve it... But no... Just blame the 'common enemy', every time, for every thing.
more democratic BS.
I'm not a big Trump fan but that video is a shameful attempt to mislead simple minded people. Trump put the travel ban from China in place while the WHO was trying to prevent it. Trump was right to ignore the WHO because they were just aiding and betting China in a cover up. And if playing golf was a crime Obama would be doing a life sentence. A leader needs R&R to be able to make tough decisions. Now is not the time to be trying to split the country in half even more than it already is. It just seems odd to me that the same people who want to rush to judgement on Trump are the same ones who are pleading with people to withhold judgement against China. Now is the time to come together, I'm beginning to wonder if we still can. If you're not part of the solution you must be part of the problem.
string... are you saying he didn't hold rallies and play golf on those dates?
It's not only the fact, that he ignored it initially. It's also, that he attempted to minimize it, once he did address it. Then, he tried to push an unproven drug. Then, rather than lead, he makes statements like, "I'm not going to do it" (regarding face masks). He berated governors forced to compete for ventilators, face masks, shields and other equipment & supplies, greatly increasing the price and decreasing the availability for all. He has been the opposite of a leader. Even before this, he was officially the worst US president in history. Somehow, he managed to get worse. He has done far more harm to this country, than good. He continues to be more of a danger to the country and the people in it, the longer he remains in office. Putin must be very pleased. thumbs down
Soon, I believe America is tired of Trumps excuses. He's been in over his head and not getting qualified support. More than ego, that's a reflection on bad management.
no I am saying demons always trying to take him down every chance they get. tired of their BS. they lost get over it.
P - definitely not & Trump proves that. While any US born citizen CAN become president, clearly he shouldn't be. thumbs down
we'll see when this all plays out. over and out
Palm, I don't have all the answers. But..
BASED ON HIS PERFORMANCE
I know who shouldn't be president.
Chat who wouldn't be in over their head dealing with a crisis like this. So here is your choice, destroy the United States economy maybe forever by shutting it down, or wait and see what we are dealing with before deciding to shut it down. Either way there is going to be a body count. I really haven't seen a lot of good advice coming from your guy sleepy Joe. You people try and act like it is a simple black and white issue and we all know it isn't. So why don't you just explain to us exactly what you would have done different than Trump decision wise. I realize his style and demeanor leaves a lot to be desired, but he's held up really well under the circumstances. And he's right the democrats useless impeachment was a huge distraction at the worst possible time.
I think Palm and I were on the same wavelength.
Soon, the subject isn't sleepy Joe. It's world-class liar President Trump who is the person in charge to get us out of this mess.
I have to agree with Soony.
So what would you have done differently Chat?
i had to step back in. it's not " up to Trump to get us out of this mess". WE need to get OURSELVES out of this mess. we need to follow the guidelines, be patriots, get back to work and recover.
Great Palm... let's start making COVID-19 test kits.
I've got a bamboo steamer and air fryer available.
So what would you have done differently Chat?

I'd sign an executive order and have GM start making toilet tissue.
We have 1,000's of ventilators in the stockpile and the companies making them globally already have FDA approval.

It's TOILET TISSUE in most demand.

Every Walmart in the country is out of paper!

That's a rather ropey premiss.

Arguing absolutes simply requires an example of an exception to refute the claim: you couldn't work with someone who is in a coma on a maths question, and yet they are somebody.

Working with someone to achieve a common goal relies upon them having some ability to contribute to the work. Even if they don't understand the goal, understand how to achieve the goal, or have the will there is room to work with them. For example, a child might not realise the goal is pick up all the beads off the floor, might not conceptualise all of them going back into the jar, might not understand why it's a goal and might not be interested, but make it into a game and they can be coaxed into the task.

The more complex the goal the more abilities are required to work with someone. You start to move into the territory where you need understanding of the goal, understanding of ways to achieve the goal and a level of self-motivation.

Trump has missing abilities. Some people empathise emotionally, some people empathise cognitively, some do both. If you can do neither because you don't have the neurologic equipment, you cannot begin to conceptualise what empathy is.

You can try and act it out by copying accepted social norms, but you're going to slip up constantly. Trump slips up constantly, he doesn't have an understanding of empathy.

He is self-interested and he understands self-interest. He has used voters' self-interest to gain their votes and he's very skilled at that, but now is the time where he needs to have the skills to understand collective interest and disinterested regard for others.

People don't work 'with' Trump. They work alongside Trump, or despite Trump, possibly in their own self-interest, possibly in the interests of others. If you know what you're looking for, he has very obvious neurologic dysfunction. I don't recall him ever saying anything, or doing anything without revealing that dysfunction.

It's like trying to work with a president who has Alzheimer's in the middle of a global crisis. The US needs to get rid of him whether it's a Republican, or Democrat president who succeeds.
i did a blog about Easton's Walmart having TP. why did we have a shortage? the media terrorizing us and encouraging hoarding. to have GM make TP is a terrible use of industry. people need to get real. we used cloth baby diapers not that long ago. we washed it and reused it. use a washrag.
i've been solitary for so long i highly doubt i have it. if people followed the guidelines, they will not likely have it either. from what i've been reading, everything under the sun is being reported as a Covid death. what's the point of a test? a graph? how accurate is a graph if the reported deaths aren't accurate.

no, i'm not looking for a check. i'm looking to start working. a check is a pacifier to keep us locked up longer.
That's why you need to be able to work with others.

It's too big for one person to do on their own.

If you have a president who works in self-interest and thinks he knows more about everything than everyone else (or says he knows more about everything than everyone else as a way to achieve self-interested goals), then you have someone who has no concept of being in over their head.

If he has no concept of being in over his head, he has no motivation to work with others even if he had the ability.

It's all so cyclical. His dysfunction just leads to cognitions and behaviours which all feed off each other.
I might be a target of that comment, so let me explain myself.

I think I'm justified in making certain judgements about Trump's behaviours. I have some educational background in clinical and cognitive psychology and I have observed certain alarming traits of his. I have also researched this issue a little. I understand other people's presentations and opinions because I have been taught the skills to do so.

As for judging China, I cannot judge the country because its a load of rocks and earth and stuff. What I can do is make judgements about information reported as coming from China.

I hold my hand up, I plead with people to withhold judgement from Chinese citizens. They are victims of the pandemic like the rest of us.

I am quite happy to make a judgement regarding the Chinese government, however. I think they may have under reported the death toll and/or reported the origin of the virus untruthfully. I have reasons for thinking that may be so which I won't go in to here.

I can't make a complete judgement about the government because I have no evidence. All I have is enough reason to suggest that they might be covering up something for some reason. As a result the Chinese government ought to be subject to an independent inquiry, or do us all a favour and engage in open and honest discussion.

I think the worst case scenario of the Chinese government having deliberately unleashed a bioweapon is extraordinarily unlikely, but to a certain extent, unless they provide trustworthy evidence of what actually happened, or let an independent body investigate, I kinda think the Chinese government has to treated with that possibilty, however remote, in mind. To dismiss the possibilty without evidence would be as irresponsible as judging without evidence.
It's horrible, when you have to lie to get elected.
However, it is far worse, when your lies and mismanagement kill people. thumbs down thumbs down

When it comes to the lying conman "so-called" president, the country has had more than enough;

I'm watching LIVE White House coverage.

We have enough beds
We have enough masks and equipment
We have enough ventilators
Other countries (including Mexico) are asking us for ventilators

I'm satisfied.
I think the Democrats secretly think Trump is doing a good job and they want him to be reelected. What other explanation could there be for selecting Sleepy Quid Pro Joe to lead their party. dunno
Because a lot of Americans are too closed-minded to vote for someone, who is a proponent of improving life for the average American, if it employs a sane amount of socialism.
It's funny calling Biden 'Quid Pro Joe' when Trump was impeached for it.

Trump will win so get use to it.
