Cream your corn. That helps.

Don't confuse Trump using his family as stage props with "love."

I doubt if that word ever enters his mind except when he's preening in a mirror. For all we know, his delusion about himself may carry over to seeing a much younger and better looking reflection of his youth.

" horribly damaged, freakish grotesques."

Well said.

In other words, a mirror image of himself.

Martial Law = Trump Law = Police State = No Constitutional Protection = NO ELCTION!

Trump would love that.

Barron (one and done) was just part of The Contract with Melania. Are we even sure Trump is the father?

"Besides, how is cutting tax revenues going to help fund the extra costs of fighting this pandemic in the first place?"

It doesn't. They're two separate things. Right now he's bugging the Feds because he needs to artificially prop up the economy (again) so a recession doesn't kick him in the butt before the election. (He's been warned it's coming)

A combination of a recession and a pandemic exposing his non-existent leadership would be a re-election death knell.

A pandemic, of course, is just another threat to Trump's artificial economy. "Fighting" it would be an admission that it exists and so far Trump's course of action is denial. Truth be known, having shut down all government agencies capable of preventing the pandemic, he's cut himself off at the pass. All he can do now is put a gag order on everybody and hope the denials keep his base stupefied long enough to re-elect him in November.

The fly in that ointment is that State agencies are not controlled by any such gag order so the number of cases, state by state, will get out to the media anyway.

The other fly and a much bigger threat to Trump's artificial economy is the potential shut-down of schools, businesses, transportation, interstate commerce, international trade, tourism, construction, the postal services and any other thing or place that requires personal interaction with the public, including the handling of paper money.

The very worst case scenario, of course, would be martial law when all else has failed. Then we'd have Trump's Law.

Trump's 'stock market economy' is melting before his very eyes along with those trillions in tax breaks he gave to his millionaire friends. They know who to blame.

I don't even want to think about the foul language that's burning up Trump's private phone line these days.

SILENCE

"It would be cool to have a president who didn't think a global pandemic was a personal affront to him."

First of all, Trump isn't sane so everything is a threat to expose his mental instability.

Now that we've got that out of the way, this pandemic is Trump's first real test of leadership and he's floundering like a fish out of water. He can't b.s. his way out of this. Also, his much touted stock market "economy," which was his one and only re-election life-raft, is melting before his eyes along with all those tax cuts he gave to his wealthy friends.

Don't think for a minute that Trump cares about anything but THAT.

So yeah, it's very personal. In fact, what we're witnessing is the collapse of a presidency that never had any solid underpinnings to begin with. What babies in cages didn't accomplish, a virus on a rampage has managed to do.

The bottom line is that Trump is running scared and his usual CYA deflections, for the first time in his presidency, aren't able to cover up his miserable lack of leadership which is hanging out there on live TV for all to see.

"And after 2016 i'm not sure why anyone listens to political pundits anyway."

Or politicians either . . . including Bernie Sanders.

Bernie's problem with his "revolution" (including M4A) is, should be become President, he will not have the support of either party, no matter who is in control of Congress. A 'President Sanders' will just amount to another four years of wasted stagnation.

Personally, I don't want another constitutional upheaval piled on top of the one Trump has already created.

Pence is such a phony low-life just listening him talk makes me want to hit the mute button.

But then, he wouldn't be Trump's VP if he wasn't that and a whole lot more.

Both of them are just crossing their fingers that a coronavirus epidemic in the U.S. will hold off until after November.

That's about the extent of how much they care.

Sorry folks, with Trump in the White House, we're all on our own.

Comparatively speaking, a pathological liar like Trump would be a fool to put his own truthfulness to a test.

High five to Acosta.

"most of you didn't even know there was a Dem debate tonight."

I knew. But it was a coin toss. "Oak Island" was on the History channel at the same time.

One of them had to go to "Record." I haven't watched the tape of the debate yet.

Who won?

ZED

"What's the man scared of this time?"

What do you mean "this time?"

Trump is scared all the time.

DANNI

Yes but they're not usually so ghoulish about it.

"President Donald Trump on Tuesday slammed Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg"

Never tug on Superman's cape.

Bears repeating in bold:

"I was in 2nd Grade when Sandinistas came to power in Nicaragua. They adopted Cuban education model. The books/curriculum taught ideological indoctrination. Children had to recite communist, revolutionary, anti-American slogans. That's how communist teach people to read and write.

FLA is home to many victims of Castros, Sandinistas, Maduro. I have friends whose dads were jailed, tortured, killed. I know Political Prisoners carrying physical & emotional scars. It's an open wound for many of us."

Sanders has been in politics long enough to know he should do his homework before he opens his mouth. He sounds like Donald Trump now with his half-truths and lies of omission.

DOCNJO

"That particular bacteria divides about once every 1000 years. It survives on chemicals found in the rock."

OMG! That's no way to live. Poor things.

By all means, we should rush on over and bring it back to Planet Earth for a better way of life. Find it a mate so it can breed, raise a family and be happy and healthy.

TREMAIN

Moron??? ~ LOL

I'm not the one with 19 plonks.

MADBOMBER

"Bernie has barely mentioned the financial costs of his plans. The social costs might be far worse for the average voter. And he's not lying, he's just not telling the full truth."

So it's a lie of omission?

Without which he wouldn't be able to sell his plan?

And it's not his fault if voters didn't ask the questions?

That all sound very premeditated to me.

DONNERBOY

I agree. Mars would also be a great place to get a tan. If you don't mind looking like a charcoal briquet.

SYCOPHANT

Castro wasn't 100% bad. Just 99.9%. Has Sanders lost his mind?

Sanders shouldn't have used that example at all. Big mistake! There are too many people who still remember fleeing the revolution, the firing squads and the loss of family and property.

And most of all they remember . . . COMMUNISM! ~ i.e. The Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republic

SOCIALIST! ~~ Get it?

Sanders risks being called a Communist, A Castro supporter, for that one slip of the tongue. Trump will bludgeon him with it ~ every single day.

CLOWN

I think we should start cleaning up Earth first . . . before we spend money looking for bacteria cadavers underground on Mars.

I understand there's some scientific benefit to exploration and I applaud NASA for all that brain power. But Earth itself, especially the oceans, is turning into a waste dump.

In my mind, it's a matter of priorities.

"I think the earth might be flat so I'm going to attach a rocket to my rear end and fly high enough to see for myself."

Yeah, real smart! A pioneer even. WHAT a moron.

He reminds me of the guy who invented wings and then jumped off a cliff to prove man could fly like a bird.

Rubio is a thief. The only reason he paid back for that luxury resort vacation was because he got caught. Then he blamed his wife, whom he called "his bookkeeper."

Rubio is a weatherman, too, always checking which way the wind is blowing.

LIVE/DIE

New York Times is floating their own intel that Russia is helping Bernie because Russia thinks Bernie is the LEAST
likely candidate to beat Trump.

If so, they're probably right. Trump would beat Bernie to a bloody pulp with that "Socislist" thing that Sanders has been promoting for many years.

Sanders is no Russian agent but he's so pumped up over the attention his "Sociatlist" idea is finally getting, he might not even be aware of the way he's being used.
