Ah. I’m just looking at it from a distance.

I agree with Kimby. Ever since the beginning I thought that getting rid of Trump would give something worse. Trump is an ignorant opportunist but Pence is a creepy, evangelical bigot. Don't know how smart he is.

He looks more presidential, but I don't know if he'll ever get a chance to run. After Trump's next term and Ivanka's two terms, he'll be pretty old, but medicine might have made enormous geriatric progress by then since Americans like their presidents old.

Well, given that Pence always has exactly the same look on his face, they could make a rubber mask and put it on him. Nobody would ever guess his age.

This kind of cynical behavior undoubtedly is not confined only to this administration, but still ................. Anyway, the article was shared with me this morning and I'm sharing it everywhere. Please go forth & do likewise, if you are so moved. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/march-19-2020

Snouts in the trough occurred to me.
Trump's transactions would be fascinating but I doubt we will ever find out.
Disgusting.

Yes, I read other reports about that today, but they will manage to bury it all.

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D) of California cashed in on this as well.

Democrats will never hold DiFi accountable. They are a reactionary Trump/Russia cult at this point. Not that Republicans are fundamentally any different.

Just looking at Jerry Lee Lewis in the ‘60’s. He looks a tad like Trump...

Don't make me have to fly to England to kill you, Mick.
Jerry Lee Lewis is a god, albeit not terribly attractive.
Trump is not even human.

As much as I think the BBC website has gone downhill over the past years, here is an interesting article from the US correspondent on the current situation and what it says about the States: www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52012049

Yes, I used to take in-depth reporting like that for granted at BBC, which has been terribly dumbed-down and "lifestyled".

This will be the perfect experiment:
Will god protect them and save them?
Or will the virus work its way through the population of believers, removing them from the reproductive pool?
Darwinism at work!

Well, as with the spring breakers, their idiocy can hurt responsible citizens. This is totally outrageous!
We have all been reading about how hard Spain is hit now, which seems to point up how unpredictable this disease is and how insidiously it spreads. We can only hope that when the dust finally settles, our pig president's obstreperousness will land him on trial for mass murder.

It appears Spain’s military is finding dead bodies and still-alive abandoned virus patients sharing space in the facilities they are “cleaning”

Do you think Dr Fauci is actually managing to get the Orange Turd to listen to the scientists?

Or maybe Jared Kushner (who was put in charge of something linked to the health crisis, now that he has solved the question of peace in the Middle East) mentioned that some of his many rental apartment tenants were getting sick and had to go to Elmhurst?

Do you think Dr Fauci is actually managing to get the Orange Turd to listen to the scientists? Not unlike parents praising a toddler because he went poo-poo on the potty chair, Dr. Fauci had to carefully phrase his statement to make sure everyone sees what a good boy Donny is because he's not throwing a tantrum today: Fauci told CNN’s John Berman that he and White House coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx told President Trump in the Oval Office on Sunday that easing off the self-isolation measures early would only allow COVID-19 the space to rebound, killing more people and perhaps hurting the economy too. “That’s the reason why we argued strongly with the President that he not withdraw those guidelines after 15 days, but that he extend them,” Fauci said. “And he did listen.” source

I get a daily newsletter from Garrison Keillor and rather liked this paragraph that arrived yesterday -
It’s an easy life compared to what many people are going through and skipping the news lets you ignore a president who, as the British writer Nate White points out, “has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honor and no grace” and now, in a national crisis, shows himself to be an ignorant bumbler and con artist focused on weeding out non-yes-men in the White House.

The problem is that he is so stupid that he has been unable to find the secret whistleblowers who do their best to continue undermining him.
