Feel like slicing off that neck of his. Turtle.

Always think of Mason Verger when I see McConnell’s face. Pretty uncanny and would love him to see the same demise.

Just another amazing person I admire in the GOP

 
I have the urge to grab that neck with a pair of pliers and twist until it rips. Then twist some more.
 
I'm inclined to agree that he's probably just trying to generally deflect the question by blaming China. It's inadvertently also racist since he says it to an Asian woman, but this time, I think the racism wasn't intended.

So.... not racist?

He’s a garbage human. He says daft shit. He didn’t aim a racist barb at her. He’s just an old soppy cnut.

Vote him out

I hate him like most others but I don't think he was being racist this time . I agree he's just a awful human and a idiot
 
Just putting aside for one moment the fact that it’s a complete unmitigated lie, and the Obama administration actually did have specific plans for this kind of thing and warned Trump of the risk, and that Trump abolished the office set up for that sole purpose. Ignore that for one second.

Trump had been POTUS for 3 years at the time this situation arose. At what point does “it’s the last guy’s fault” stop being a reasonable position for Joe Republican?
Never. It's the same guy who took credit for stock market's continuing growth when he was just the President elect.

Yeah, by all means. Covid getting him would be more poetic though after his shite response to it.
 
would also turn him into a martyr though
God I see it now. Trump xhoose to forego wearing a mask to give his to the needy. He died in a valiant attempt to save one more citizen.

Then God and Peter wait for him in heaven wearing maga hats.
 
Trump having an unhinged / mental breakdown and the democrat candidate for CA25 (california) just got obliterated by a Trump Bootlicker.

Just wait for those tweets.

That is indeed remarkable, this is LA and Ventura counties.

Before Hill flipped it the seat had been reliably Republican since '92. It's a good win but not particularly remarkable given the circumstances - special election, covid restrictions etc. Olds are more reliable and more conservative. I'm going to go ahead and guess that the minority and youth vote were more severely affected.

Thought the area was always GOP?

Huh.. that I did not know. I used to visit Ojai for a friend and it was a hippie town full of musicians and artists and I somehow assumed that was all of Ventura county.

Indeed it has been reliable GOP for a very long time. But Hill won it for Dems and Clinton won it in the general. The problem is, whilst trump is having a mental breakdown and on track to be responsible for countless deaths at this time, a democrat just had a roughly 20 point swing against them. You'd kinda hope "moderate" :lol: Republicans in CA25 would be over him by now right? The dems didn't even run a spooky progressive. They ran "centrist democrat" heavy.You'd think a trump sychophant would find it hard to actually be "pro trump" whilst he's tweeting about locking up obama and how the USA won the war against Corona right?

Doesn't matter in their eyes as long as Trump is in support of 2A, border wall, banning abortion etc.

A bit like over here. Tories have been in power ten years, big cuts to police, NHS etc and largely blamed all that on the Labour government previous but got a massive majority despite all that in part due to their position on Brexit.
 
I don't understand how so many of these guys are happy to absolutely fecking lick his hole in public on a regular basis. No sense of pride in them whatsoever clearly.

So many losers constantly tweeting shit after every post he makes like "He's the greatest president ever", "he's winning again" etc.. and drawing photos of him looking ripped. It's weird as feck. Basically being worshiped by a bunch of universally adored legend.

Same with people who always abuse him after every tweet. It's always the same people at the top of every response.

The Krassenteins come to mind with their boring six part responses to every tweet he did. It's just weird but definitely weirder for the people all virtually wanting him to basically feck them.

You see similar comments on Bojo's account now.
"He's the greatest PM we've ever had" *shudders*.

Unfortunately people fall for his vacuous attempts at looking like he cares. Clenched fists and emphasis on certain words is apparently enough.
 
Anti-lockdown protests are imploding — because the Koch network has soured on them

On Tuesday, writing for The Washington Post, columnist Kathleen Parker identified a key reason why the nationwide protests against stay-at-home orders are starting to fade away: Some of the key special interests bankrolling them have had second thoughts.

“Recent attempts to reenact the erstwhile tea party protests in a movement to oppose coronavirus-related shutdowns have shown signs of fizzling despite President Trump’s weird cheerleading,” wrote Parker. “They are, after all, shouting down Trump’s own guidelines for trying to contain the new coronavirus, which has afflicted more than 1.4 million Americans and led to more than 81,000 deaths in the United States.”

“The protesters began losing steam when the Koch network, underwriters of the tea party movement from a decade ago, decided to run with scientists instead of the gun-toting provocateurs trampling the spring-green grass around state capitols,” wrote Parker. “The chief executive of Americans for Prosperity, the main political arm of the network, said the group prefers working with doctors, data crunchers and public policy leaders to create guidelines for a safe and staggered reopening of American businesses.”

“While this approach may prove challenging, the concept itself is simple,” wrote Parker. “Based on what we’ve learned since January, a modified return to ‘normal’ is the only prudent course of action, as credible experts have said again and again. But Trump, like a child who covers his ears and sings tra-la-la-la-la, prefers to hear only what erupts from his lips.”


“As a president might have said, the virus is still with us, but we’ve so far prevailed despite great hurt, fear, unemployment, lost wages, depression, sadness, loneliness and grief over the sick and the dead,” concluded Parker. “While staying apart, we have come together and learned new ways to live more simply, generously and compassionately. Those are not small things. Let’s not let our politics — or politicians — take that away.”

So paid to protest. Who'd had thought .
 
The thing about US justices, these guys fall down party lines to get appointed... they also have tenure once they are in the role.

While some might be considered "republican" or "democratic" why would they care about partisanship once they are in the role?

For the most part, the lawyers I know have the integrity to perform their job in line with the application of the law and the law alone. It begs the question, why would some think that just because the sc is appointed by Trump, they'll make a decision in his favour?

Also, most of these guys have been practising for so long, they dont need corruption money. If they truly are some of the best legal minds in the country (like all highest level judicial officers should be) then they're all ridiculously wealthy prior to even taking the role.

The problem is that Kavanaugh and Gorsuch to a lesser extent are partisan and are ideologically Republicans. When there is only 9 on the court and 3 are historically conservative it really doesn’t help having two votes that are loyal to McConnell and Trump. It means that before anything starts there’s only 3 judges who could flip partisan rulings in favour of liberals. Thomas sure as hell isn’t going to, Alito isn’t going to so it pretty much leaves Roberts who is also very conservative but is at least principled enough to occasionally take up a nuanced position.

It‘s essential the court is rebalanced. Ideally while McConnell is still alive so he can see his life’s work torn to shit.

McConnell's life work was to make a lot of money and shift power to rich people like him. I would say he has been extremely successful in that regardless of what happens with supreme court in future. Sadly he is going to die with a grin on his chin.
 
In response to Fauci urging caution over opening schools too quickly.

"I was surprised by his answer, actually.

It's just -- to me it's not an acceptable answer, especially when it comes to schools.

He wants to play all sides of the equation.

These are young students. They're in great shape
."

... I mean its a well known fact that students dont come into contact with anyone who may not be in "great shape", stupid Fauci!

‘Not a lot of people know this, but equations are where the equals sign comes from.’ /s
 
American kids? In great shape? Yes, if the shape you're thinking about is round!
