Ceffer and I are on the same page, and I like not having to explain why I won’t take a cruise, go to Orlando or Anaheim, and I dislike expensive restaurants, bars forget it.

I was conned into taking someone to Barceloneta in Santa Cruz, I had an octopus tentacle for $17 plus other stuff at similar prices. Now I can avoid it.

Gym was a fun thing in Florida because of the AC in the summer.

ThreeBays says

He also looks a lot less orange

Must be incandescent because, "It's just the LED lighting that causes that." (snicker)

Who gives a flying fuck how he speaks? If that was a positive trait you'd all be sucking car salesmen and real estate broker dick and not whining. Trump. Is. A. Salesperson....

marcus says

Or perhaps he got word from his bosses that a democrat is taking over in 21

If he has bosses and the dem candidate too, its the same bosses so what is the point in voting? And obviously, the bosses didnt want hillary...Are you saying they want biden?

:
Just as an example, when asked about us getting back to our lives sooner (the subject of some of the more stupid anti Trump memes of late - that he's willing to kill grandma for the economy - you'll notice I haven't posted any of those, and there are a lot), anyway when asked about that, he said something like "well, that's what we're (referring to experts he mentioned moments earlier) going to be figuring out, and you're going to be figuring it out with us." The implication being that we're all in this together and that it's not really his decision.

Wtf ?

Did his IQ just jump up to average or so ? What did he do ? He must have some new handlers, making sure he gets his B-12 and enough sleep, or something. Because he really was not sounding like his usual self.

Of course because incompetent speakers can only build an international empire, they can't be President.

HEYYOU says

How are they going to deal with the poor who decide to utilize Trump's 2nd Amendment solution?

What is changing for the poor as long as food stamps and section 8 exist? They get more free money? Shit, most the habitually poor that game the system are about to double their pay. This is a boom for them. Expect drug and booze sales to skyrocket in the inner city.

Biden?

Who you votin' for?

I think he is stressed to the point that he has stopped being trollish and now we see a more serious side of him.

Just heard Newsom praise Trump. We are uniting as a nation to solve a problem.

Maybe Newsom Newsom's wealthy campaign donors have correctly concluded that Trump is going to get elected again, so they want to start getting along.

:
That's probably part of it.

Also perhaps it's that he's working hard and doing his job. That would lead him to have a level of (true) self esteem that enables him to behave like an emotionally healthy person. Although all those decades of everything being about him 24/7 can't be easily undone. IT wasn't just a trolling act.

Trump isn't becoming a more competent speaker. People are just beginning to notice he always was a competent speaker, but the fake news blitz that he was crazy, stupid, or demented was so intense, they didn't see it.

Finally, a terrorist from among the 65%-70% population demographics. It's been nothing but Black Hebrews and Black Muslims so far this year. But of course the media ushers those right out of the news ASAP.

jazz_music says

the FBI had identified white nationalist extremism as the most lethal terrorist threat facing Americans

Wrong

While all the other countries were using those superior "Made in China" test kits that work about 30% of the time, if you're nice to them.

My triple shames: i like Popeye's and I shop at Walmart and Goodwill.

Corona Virus, HEYYOU would like to speak with your manager.

She should go to a liberal parade and scream it’s her right lol

Paradox of rights...

deadly strain of the flu

Really? Please tell us what strain of the flu isn't "deadly."

yellow fever outbreak in Angola

And since Trump disbanded the "unit," we are unprepared for any yellow fever outbreak.

If there's a silver lining when the total breakdown of society occurs, it's that lunatics like this can simply be dealt with on the spot, swiftly and efficiently.

All the US and Europe really needed was enough masks and gloves for everyone. You don't need a pandemic unit for it. Asia is sending us masks now cause they have experience and discipline we are still learning. We didn't even have to shut down bars and hotels and restaurants if people would have been properly equipped. Nothing to do with Trump.

They were incompetent, that’s why fired.

Our society protects crazy lunatics at expense of normal people. That’s the mantra of the left... inclusivity even if it’s gonna kill normal people. All in name of diversity, tolerance, and inclusivity.

America lost all common sense when left was in charge.

What rubbish. It is like saying that we do not need a steering wheel but just some horsepower to get there. Brilliant.

That unit would have prepared better and we would started working early rather than relay on Fox news for our direction.

Obummer did nothing during pandemics. The Asisns don't have dedicated pandemic units they just have enough supplies at hand and discipline.

We have enough researchers we don't have enough supplies. Hopefully after this we will stock up like the Koreans and Chinese and Japanese did.

Oh and one more thing the "experts" from the pandemic units that you so glorify are lying to the people saying masks don't work. Instead they should admit they work very well that's why they want to reserve all of them for the healthcare workers since they were too stupid to stock up on them. Laughable yeah masks don't work that's why every Asian is wearing one and why our colleagues just donated masks from China to our local hospitals.

If you get fired by Trump, it’s because you are an incompetent loser who attached yourself to someone in government and is sucking in kickback tit.

And that swamp is huge.

Always a move good to throw the black herring (Obummer) to the the hungry cult members. Trump 2020 101. When the facts are against you scream fake news, when the law is against you righteously blather about a hoax and when the law and facts are against you yell, Obama!!!

I didn't complain about Obama back then wrt handling of the flu. Neither I'm complaining now about Trump.

mell says

Obama dealt with N1H1 Flu I believe from Mexico, Ebola, and MERS none were perfect responses. BTW Trump complained constantly about Obama's handling of Ebola during the outbreak. It seems to me with hindsight Obama's handling of Ebola was pretty damn good (honestly don't remember the other two except vaguely, so that is probably good). I don't believe the Trump administration took the possibility of a pandemic seriously, they simply were not very interested in it, weird cause Trump is a germaphobe so they say. Maybe because from his first day in office Trump was literally running for reelection, everything is seen through that lense. He (and we) are reaping what he sowed by his and his administrations inattention and down playing of the problem. Of course,The virus is not his fault but his handling of it is his to own and to run on for reelection and its not as he claims a 10. But who knows maybe it will miraculously disappear in April...

What could have been done different for an airborne virus doc? A new virus mind you. Seriously. A bunch of Washington Bureaucrats would have saved the day? Every single first world nation is getting trashed by this. Government ain't gonna save you buddy.

Nice

Worst president ever and he just blames either the democrats, China, swamp blah blah blah. It is time when TCS ( Trump Cult Syndrome) look at themselves. Now it is costing lives.

Your TDS is only hurting you. Trying to redefine terms doesn’t make you look clever, just dumb arguing from bruised ego.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostakovitch says

All these people would leap back to health and life if Trump shot Pelosi in the face.

This is all her doin'

The aid would get out faster. Maybe she still should be shot in name of principle

Trump did complain about Obama's handling.BTW, you did not compalin as it was very well handled.

https://patrick.net/post/1330788/2020-03-15-obama-and-trump-response-to-pandemics

What? Obama didn't handle anything because nobody gave a fuck, esp. not the lamestream media which was very pro-Obama and is now 100% anti-Trump. There's no difference in government readiness for such a thing based on party lines or who the president is.
