    I'm late to the party, folks.  This is two hours old; what did our esteemed President pontificate about today?

    Infrastructure Speech has turned into a campaign rally

     

    The next time he's interviewed. "Mr. President you claimed that there has been tremendous corruption on mail-in ballots. Tell me about it."

    "Yes well you know there has been such corruption. Terrible corruption."

    "No I mean, literally tell me about it. Describe it. What are you talking about?"

    And stay on him. If he tries to change the subject, steer it back. But of course this isn't what happens, so we let this go and just move on the the next insane thing.

  3. I just saw this quote, talking about these people.

    In a separate interview published on Tuesday with the conservative website Townhall.com, Mr. Trump falsely claimed that a white couple in St. Louis who confronted peaceful marchers outside their home with guns had been on the verge of being beaten and having their home burned down.

    They were going to be beat up badly, and the house was going to be totally ransacked and probably burned down,” Mr. Trump said.

    In that same interview he had some great comments about the confederate flag. He doesn't see why people would associate it with slavery. 

  5. Can you even imagine the shit we're gonna hear in the years after he leaves office? Like, "... in Conway's new book out in 2029, she details the time Trump asked about the possibility of dropping nuclear bombs on all of the blue states". Shit like that is going to happen.

    Here's a sympathetic voice: it's fucking hard, and it's a hard call.

    Kids NEED in-person schooling.  There seems to be no doubt that it's helpful to most kids both academically and socially, and losing a large block of it can have serious negative effects, including over the long term.

    But beyond the health of the kids themselves, there's the health of the teachers and staff to account for, as well as the families those kids will go home to every day.

    It's a complicated fucking problem, with a lot of unbalanced risk-reward calculations along the way.

    I don't know what the right call is.  I really don't.

    Well the right call would have been to take the necessary steps needed in order to open schools in the fall over the past five months. But we didn't do that, so unfortunately we can't.
