Other life forms would thrive. And would probably coexist more harmoniously and less rapaciously.
Remarkable to watch.
Exactly. That's who he's been from the get-go.
I seriously doubt I will ever be able to accept any purported legitimacy of his election. Not when he got help from an avowed longtime enemy of America.
The impatient Dr. Trump's "patient".
Maybe hell be able to sell autographed gold-colored body bags for his fans to bury their loved ones in. Hey
I think it would be fabulous to throw the words of their beloved "Saint Ronnie" back at them.
Are you better off, now, than you were four years ago?
This time, its likely that talking point will help Democrats instead of republi-CONS.
Madeleine Albright had a new twist on that, this morning, on MSNBC.
She said "I'm appalled. And I'm getting tired of being appalled."
Aren't we all!
Unfortunately, there's only one solution for that. And it's NOT to hope that somehow trump will start dong the right thing, and suddenly switching to being an honest leader with compassion and empathy, who doesn't lie all the time, and is interested in the greater good for all his people, rather than just himself. I doubt there's ANY reason to hope that this particular "old dog" is capable of learning a new trick. This particular "old dog" isn't even interested in considering why he would need to.

Welcome to DU, SMoss.
I heard a report this morning citing a community in Kentucky that saw a spike in cases after a protest.
Perhaps this will have an effect on their numbers. I'm actually hoping some of those idiots will come around, once they contract the disease, assuming they recover, of course.
In my totally amateur observations of human nature I've learned that it's VERY hard for people to admit they were wrong. NOBODY wants to do that, and they'll often have to be forcibly shoved forward by almost literally being kicked in the ass. NOBODY wants to admit they were wrong, much less that they've been HAD. Because then, that means they have to admit they were complete fools. It's mighty hard to admit that. Redemption doesn't come easy. Never has.
Sorry to say it but that thought has crossed my mind also.
Well, his certainly did.
