Dick Allen Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I have just been told I won't be required to come into the office until there is a vaccine and people are getting vaccinated. That is pretty sweet. I was hating working from home for a while, but now I kind of dig it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is just digging himself a larger hole. A secret service agent has been quoted as saying Trump doesn't even put up the appearance of caring. From what he says and does, it appears that is so true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The President cares about exactly one person in his life. Everyone else is at best a tool for his betterment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Trump has called off talks over any additional stimulus. Real bad news for tens of millions of people. If he goes on to lose in November, it's hard to see him signing anything during the lame duck period. That would put the prospects for any additional relief five months out from today. Nearly a full year after the initial relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 We are seeing, very publicly and essentially live, how contagious COVID is. It's spreading through the White House like wildfire, and also being traced back to the mask-less SCOTUS ceremony. Chances are someone who either was directly affected at the WH or at the ceremony, or affected by someone who was there will die. It's just terrible that this is happening and how the brainwashed still think it's essentially the flu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a lot of people need this stimulus. You would think with his self proclaimed negotiating skills, this should be a lay up. More Covid, less stimulus. For some reason, I don’t think that is a good formula. Edited October 6, 2020 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinky Stanky Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 On 10/5/2020 at 7:07 PM, Chicago White Sox said: This may be the dumbest, most dangerous tweet in his whole presidency. Anyone who voted for this idiot con-artist should be embarrassed for the rest of their lives. (the quote about feeling better than in 20 years) The steroid he's getting, Dexamethasone, makes you feel better even if you're sick. They give it to cancer patients. The "dietary supplement" he's getting, Melatonin, is a hormone produced by the pineal gland (it's above your brain) that regulates sleep. One of the side effects of Dexamethasone is to keep you awake at night. The guy doesn't understand why he's feeling better! 4 hours ago, Dick Allen said: Doesn’t he fancy himself as a big time deal maker? Seems a lot of people need this stimulus.

I guarantee with ~100% certainty that there will be a deal before election day even though he said there won't. His negotiation style is to go to the extreme, in public, and scare people. Who are we to say it doesn't work? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 10 hours ago, Iwritecode said: You're also talking about a perfect world were everyone listens and does what they are supposed to do with no argument at all instead of being forced to be responsible. Sure it would be great if we made a plan where we just said "Hey everyone stay home for 3 weeks. Only go out if it's vitally necessary. After 3 weeks it will all be over and we can go back to normal again." But that's fantasy thinking. Instead we have to force businesses to close because if we don't, people will still continue to go to them. Whether it's because they think the rules don't apply to them or because they think it's somehow against their "freedoms" or whatever else. And here we are, months later continuing to fight this thing because so many people can't seem to do the right thing. Agreed. Open just grocery stores and we need people to shop responsibly. Open gas stations and we need people to shop responsibly. Tell people not to gather and we need people to be responsible and not gather. I've never said that just telling people to be responsible would work. That clearly would not work. But believing there is a plan that works if people don't follow it is pure fantasy.

Texsox Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Someone help me understand this. Our policies are failing because people are not being responsible so we really need people to be A. Responsible B. Irresponsible I believe whatever we decide as the next phase we need A. If you believe B please explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
