Trump again criticizes governors for not stocking up on ventilators before this. He says the US will soon have excess and help other countries: "I think Russia is going to need ventilators. They're having a hard time in Moscow. We're going to help them."

He does owe them......

But Trump knows all about this stuff remember? AND... his uncle was a super genius:

"You know, my uncle was a great person. He was at MIT. He taught at MIT for, I think, like a record number of years. He was a great super genius. Dr. John Trump. I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it. Every one of these doctors said, 'How do you know so much about this? ' Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president."

I agree our political leaders should be infallible, and have complete control of every situation before it occurs .

Treasury has ordered Trump’s name be printed on stimulus checks the IRS is rushing to send to tens of millions of Americans, a process that is expected to slow their delivery by several days.

Why?
Because even Trump has political scientists on the payroll .

I'm wondering if he doesn't actually believe all this shit. I'll be surprised if he wins in Nov. Even a Democrap might be a little better! U.S. politics is sure in the sewer!
Let’s see the Democrats played the impeachment game with Trumped up charges , that opens up the same playbook for Republicans , expect the next Democrat President with a Republican House to be impeached on equally frivolous charges . And around and around it will go .
Now you think it might be a good idea to assassinate the sitting president so that one will go around and around . Good idea .

FOOLISH THINKING! Why run around like a Chicken with no head?


Sleep in - drink another coffee - listen to music - why sweat and panic when FATE will find you anyway?
If and when I head there it will be with fishing gear , a bunch of beer and solitude . No sense running off if I want to socialize .

And here comes the next Dem. attack piece

Trump threatens to adjourn Congress to get his nominees but likely would be impeded by Senate rules

President Trump threatened to shut down both chambers of Congress to allow him to fill vacancies in his administration without Senate approval.
He spent several minutes of his daily coronavirus briefing Wednesday blaming Senate Democrats for blocking his nominations, even though most of the vacancies in the federal government are because Trump hasn’t selected anyone to fill them. Several of his nominees haven’t been given a confirmation hearing yet in the Republican-led Senate.

Trump cited a never-exercised power the Constitution grants the president to adjourn Congress if leaders of the House and Senate can’t agree on whether to adjourn. The Senate often recesses but stays open in a “pro forma” session, which thwarts Trump’s ability to make recess appointments that bypass the regular confirmation process.

“The current practice of leaving town while conducting phony pro forma sessions is a dereliction of duty that the American people cannot afford during this crisis. It is a scam. What they do, it’s a scam and everybody knows it,” Trump said.

Trump’s gambit assumes Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) would go along with adjourning and even then it would still be nearly impossible to get the votes needed to formally adjourn.
McConnell’s office declined to comment. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) did not respond.

“They know they’ve been warned and they’ve been warned right now. If they don’t approve it, then we’re going to go this route and we’ll probably be challenged in court and we’ll see who wins,” Trump said when asked if there’s a timeline on his threat.

Complete shit shows of self delusions of grandeur and self pity. Devoid of any empathy, responsibility or unity.




Oh? You think the Trump Show is SOMEHOW WORSE than the LIE-beral version which is to try to SNEAK all sorts of USELESS



ENVIRONMENTAL CRAP into ESSENTIAL federal aid packages?


ALL THE GOVTS of Planet Earth are moving into a BIZARRE STATE beyond bankruptcy!

WE were bankrupt BEFORE Wuhan Virus appeared and we are way beyond that state now!


We are entering the kind of territory that FACILITATES DICTATORS!


As we have seen in history - leaders appear when needed!


When France was in the grip of The Rein of Terror - Napoleon appeared to restore order and calm!


Its just too bad he then went on to plunge Europe into endless wars!


In Britain in the 1930`s - PM Neville Chamberlain was regarded as sleep walking the country into a future war with Nazi Germany!


Fortunately some wealthy Brits and military people and etc recognized that IF or WHEN war came - the most useful leader would be



Winston Churchill and they helped set up literally a shadow govt - ready to take over after the Appeasement smelly stuff hit the fan!


One of the FIRST ACTS of the Churchill Shadow govt was to hire Cdn Sir William Stephenson to over see their intelligence



operations and it was then arranged to work with Czech resistance fighters to STEAL a German Enigma coding machine



with the theft done in such a way the Nazis thought the machine was destroyed in a truck crash - the point being that BRITAIN



WAS ABLE TO READ ALL Nazi and Imperial Japanese radio messages through ALL OF WW2 thus gaining immense heaps of



HIGHLY USEFUL INFORMATION about enemy activities was the key that CHANGED HISTORY!


Or we could look at Weimar Germany - tearing itself apart during the Dirty Thirties until Hitler restored order! Is just TOO BAD Hitler



went on to start WW2!



And now we come to Trump! He is the man for our MANIAC TIMES! He is the BALANCE on the RIGHT political spectrum



to COUNTER ACT the LEFT POLITICAL SPECTRUM!



Does Trump have "absolute power"? NO - we know he does not - BUT HE DOES HAVE MORE POWER than any state governor!


And there is the heart of the deal - THAT NO COUNTRY CAN LONG SURVIVE if its governors or provincial premiers


CAN OVER RULE the leader in the capitol!


Just look at all the LUNATICS fighting the social distancing rules - in defiance of federal orders in BOTH Canada and United States!



Some Covidiot in Toronto is whining because he got an $800 ticket for doing chin ups on equipment in a public park!


And of course the park AND ITS EQUIPMENT ARE CLOSED - to prevent multiple people from handling the equipment


AND SPREADING THE VIRUS!


And the Covidiot whined "there was nobody else around" and suggested he was at NO risk of infecting others or of being infected!


WELL DUH! Everybody else read the BIG RED CLOSED NOTICE AND STAYED HOME!


And another Cdn family is WHINING because THEY GOT A TICKET for roller blading in a parking lot at a park near their home!


And they pointed out the lot was DESERTED and thus they were not harming anybody so the ticket was UNFAIR!


And the lot was deserted because everybody else READ AND OBEYED the BIG RED CLOSED SIGNS and stayed away!


AND THERE IS THE POINT - closing the park means JUST THAT - NO EXCEPTIONS!


If you make ONE exception then why not make one hundred more? And then WHY BOTHER closing anything?


The right of a Covidiot to do chin ups in the park is BALANCED by MY RIGHT not to be exposed to a dangerous Virus!


And balanced by OUR COLLECTIVE RIGHT not to watch as a horde of people CHOKE TO DEATH on a stupid Virus



that was carried into Canada and let loose by a govt that was TOO CHEAP AND TOO LAZY to quarantine pestilence carriers!



The Covidiots are prepared to RISK THE LIVES of strangers just to demonstrate THEIR CONTEMPT



for SOME POLITICAL LEADERS or to score STUPID civil liberties points!



Or we could look at the LUNATICS who have been gathering in various Yankee states to PROTEST the alleged violation of civil


rights that is the result of social distancing orders! The FEDERAL GOVT HAS THE RIGHT AND THE OBLIGATION to tell



state governors when to shut up and sit down - AND WHAT TO SHUT DOWN during a Pandemic!


Yankee appreciation of civil rights is apparently MORE VAGUE than the Cdn version which is very probably why LESS CDNS



are suffering from Wuhan Virus than Yankees!


WE DO KNOW that many more Cdns are obeying the social distance rules and that many more Cdns ARE LIKELY TO REPORT



VIOLATORS of social distancing to cops! Thus Cdns are being MORE SENSIBLE!



The "FEDERAL GOVT" in United States IS COMPOSED of the President. and the two sections of Congress!


The federal orders ARE SUPERIOR to state wishes and Trump IS head of state! That is the BASIC TEST of national govt!



It is just too bad that so many Covidiots are screwing around playing fast and loose with stupid defiance!



And SURELY we ALL RECALL that the last time there was a major question regarding Yankee States Rights and that question led to



the SLAUGHTER at places like Gettysburg and Shiloh and Vicksburg!



As for the issue of when to re-open the economy - either in Canada or United States - IT IS A CRAP SHOOT!


Social distancing is A PROVEN LIFE SAVER and IT IS protecting us!



But there is another issue - HOW LONG CAN WE keep our lives and economy FROZEN like this?


The deeper the debts -the GREATER the eventual political UPHEAVAL as the SOCIAL COSTS AND CONSEQUENCES


begin to hit home once we start back towards "normal"!


The FACT IS it would be easier to get back to normal if there were NOT so many Covidiots out there IGNORING


those social distancing orders!



To be a leader in such LUNATIC TIMES probably DOES REQUIRE a rather crazed temperament!



Certainly the Trump ability to dish out insults more effectively than his LIE-beral counterparts IS USEFUL!



As for Trump being some sort of Dictator - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That is LIE-beral FAKE NEWS!


There will be an election in November and either Trump will win and spend 4 more years in office and then GET OFF the political



stage when his second term is up - OR he will lose in November and GET OFF the political stage!


That HE WILL OBEY the wishes of voters makes him THE OPPOSITE of a dictator!


And based on the policies offered thus far by LIE-beral candidates - if Trump loses in November



THE LUNATICS REALLY WILL BE RUNNING THE ASYLUM!


Not only are we setting records for insane debt - LIE-berals are SETTING RECORDS FOR IDIOT IRRESPONSIBLE POLICY!


LIE-berals are trying to hide behind Covidiot Madness - AND FAILING!!

Isn't there a few anti-Trumpers on this panel?
