4 months and 1 week until we vote him OUT once and for all. New to the board, but just want to point out what some of you realize and that's the fact the Repukes desperation is really showing. Grassley, McCarthey, Trumpler, Pence....all tweeting and gas lighting their slimy arses off today. Looks like their super genius new plan is to smear Joe for "hiding in his basement" which is just more cowardly BS to deflect from the fact they've led this country straight into an iceberg of epic proportions. The infuriating fact is that it was SO avoidable. Ignorant, stubborn dirt bags that simply couldn't and wouldn't listen to reason a short 4 months ago.
Hey, we have 4 months to the finish line folks and we will then start to wrestle back the soul of this country that's been hijacked by these immoral shit gibbons. Keep working, keep making calls, and making donations to our quality candidates and hang ON because we know they'll stop at virtually nothing to retain power. Glad to be here

(16,646 posts)The GOP has shown a tendency lately throw a fit after they lose an election and pass all sorts of legislation and executive orders that takes their successors months if not years to clean up. Imagine all of the damage they can cause between Nov 4 and Jan 20.
Even at the end of Bush, they converted alot of political appointees to civil servants as "leave behinds" to continue to frustrate the next administration. The GOP knows their in long term trouble, especially the Trump wing of the party. I don't expect them to go quietly, and to some extent they appear to be preparing to try to not go at all.

(12,568 posts)Their response: "What iceberg? It's not that big, it will melt completely away soon. It's not an iceberg, it's a slushy. It will melt away during summer. We haven't been hit by the iceberg. Only a couple of thousand people died. Drink disinfectant and the iceberg won't hurt you. More that two million people could have died if we hadn't taken charge. 50,000 people dead isn't that bad -- it could have been 70,000. 70,000 people dead isn't that bad -- it could have been 100,000. (When we passed 100,000 deaths we heard crickets from the WH.) If we didn't test so much the numbers wouldn't be so high. I told them to slow down the testing so the numbers wouldn't be so high. No matter what my staff says, I don't kid. What I said was sarcastic, and the fake news just wants me to look bad. Why are all of these nasty girl reporters asking me such rude questions? Where's the exit?
Even if he thinks he was safe by standing away from the audience in Arizona, the facts are that wearing masks protects other people from anything you're carrying, and vice versa. And the six foot distance is to allow particles of aerosol to drop to the floor. These are not hard and fast rules, chiseled in stone -- I doubt anyone has done a scientific study off the spread of the coronavirus in a tightly packed room of 3,000 people. Logic says that if no one is wearing a mask -- including the person isolated on the stage -- the air is going to be filled with virus. The people who figure this stuff out for a living were yelling at the top of their lungs, "Don't do it!"
Stay tuned for the next episode of "As Arizona's Curve Skyrockets," starring Donald Trump as "President Pandemic.'

(16,646 posts)It reminds me of the joke about climate deniers.
How many deniers does it take to change a light bulb?
None. The light bulbs not burned out! That's a hoax. It's just really bright in here and you can't tell that the bulb is on.
