The division and lack of a "plan" is not a bug. It's a feature. Trump is likely going to keep people as divided as possible up to the election so he can have a willing army of followers who will riot when he loses in a landslide due to "cheating" and "Massive voter fraud."

"Success will look like an overreaction"

The models use the currently available data. If factors change, the output from the model changes. If we hadn't gone to lockdown mode, there is little doubt things would look more like 300k by now.

If only that were the case. They have been revamping plans to open a "News" organization when he is booted out of office. The signs point to the fact that we are going to have to put up with his face, or at least his voice, until he either gives up the ghost or goes to jail.

I love the term limit idea, but I'm conflicted on judicial term limits.

On one hand YES of course they shouldn't get a lifetime appointment, just like any other American. However, we have seen what happens with shady members of congress doing favors for industries only to get gifted great jobs in those industries after they leave office. Wouldn't the same corruption be possible on the judicial side?

You misspelled Fox News.

It's up to Fox News to tell Trump what to do. He showed that he will listen to them. It's their fault.

FTFY ;)

#21 - He refuses to wear a mask because the mask would immediately be covered in all that makeup he plasters on his face.

Notice he apologized to God. Very smart from his perspective. If he apologized to the parishioners, that's an admittance of guilt in the eyes of courts.

Anecdotally, I've discovered that Boomers and above are seriously lacking in a sense of humor.

I find the "God's waiting room" joke to be hilarious. And being from the North, I heard it for the first time here.

Follow the money. I'm willing to bet that Trump has been told to allow only a couple companies/organizations to develop for-profit tests.

Gotta make money from the crisis somehow. /s

There have been a few calls for big data companies to pay their users for the use of their data. I'm not against this, but any system that uses your web browsing and ad views to kick back some cash for views could 1. Cause much more intrusive tracking across the web, and 2. be loaded with potential fraud.

Someone could easily write a script that clicks around the web all day long as a way to game the system and earn undeserved cash.

Evidence requested, evidence provided:

I'm so tired of hearing Trump use words. Or seeing him tweet with words.

#10 I think that "consecrated ground" is called mass graves. /s

The "reintegrate into society" portion was a bit over the top, but on the rest they aren't wrong. Some people have a LONG recovery ahead of them. And we still don't know what we don't know about this virus.

Well, CATDOG, we need to stay #1. WINNING!

#8, Monte, Dr. Bonespurs is a good one. I'm partial to Dr. --------.

V, very levelheaded. Thanks for the response.

#5, it's okay, there are Nat. Guard members working the polls since the regular poll workers protested. Rightfully so, they protested about dangerous working conditions.

"killing in the name of"

V, I know you are a notorious troll, but doesn't a public health emergency and stay at home order trump existing election laws? Or at the very least require some flexible thinking?

#6 WOW

Too many incorrect statement in that post to fight about, but the biggest is this: "...Pres Trump or the federal government agencies doing their best to help them."

THAT'S the issue you don't understand. They aren't doing "their best" to help. They are actually doing the opposite in a lot of cases.

Red River Valley. East side.

#28 - Madbomber

Can confirm.

#6 - Snoofy, I really want to be able to give you a Newsworthy and Funny flag!

Wonderful headline alliteration.
