Here's a new game...

[airdvr 197]

Try and ID a thread on the first page that doesn't have the word Trump in it.  Not a title...the thread contents.

I'll wait right here...

Why?

When you have cancer, it tends to be the focus of your thoughts. 

The US is the richest and most powerful nation in the world, and it has a cancer at its heart.

Try and ID a thought from the WH that comes from Trump, not from another person. That isn't fundamentally fatally flawed in some way.

FIFY

Why don't you try a thread that states the good ideas, statements and actions that originate from trump himself. Not from prepared statements he reads. His non-scripted thinking. Turtle and other trump supporters will help you.

You really think everything you've heard from other Presidents in your lifetime hasn't been scrubbed and scripted?

When they answer questions from the press. When they go "off script". No

Trump dismisses his daily coronavirus press briefings as “not worth the time & effort”

Six Times Donald Trump's White House Has Refused to Answer Reporters' Questions

"The crowding of the West Wing hallway, in what is known as 'upper press,' has become the new norm for reporters seeking information or comment from the White House on major headlines over the past 35 days – a record for the span of time without an on-camera briefing during President Donald Trump’s time in office."

trump will either refuse to answer, refuse to have reporters question him,lie, deny making past statements, attack the press, or walk out. That ignores softball questions from him hand picking the FOX reporters he likes.

Still waiting for you to take the lead with trump's great ideas thread.

Well, let's see...

Top headlines:

Coronavirus. The US has 4% of the world's population, and 25% of the cases & deaths. Those rather grim facts can be laid almost entirely at Trump's feet. He ignored the problem for a couple months, pretended it wasn't serious for another month, tried to force the country to re-open, held 'virus briefings' that were both pathetic and funny - thinly disguised campaign speeches that were so full of lies you couldn't keep up.
Now, the much of the rest of the world is getting it under control, and we are seeing a million new cases in 15 days. So he finally says 'it's going to get worse'. No Shit Sherlock.

Protests. The BLM protests haven't died down a whole lot. So, in order to both pretend he's "Law & Order" and to distract from corona, he sends unidentifed 'federal officers' in to Portland. Where there's been a lot of graffitti, but very little actual damage or violence... Until his thugs showed up. And are now 'proactively detaining' people. As in arresting them before they commit an actual crime. 

Russia. He had a chat with his master, Putin, the other day. Despite the overwheming information about Russia paying bounties for dead US soldiers, he didn't bring it up. 

His "Entourage". The shit his kids and their S/Os are pulling on a daily basis is really fucked up. Ivanka with Goya, Don Jr's sqeeze abandoning infected campaign workers in the middle of nowhere while she takes a private jet home (at the campaign's expense, of course), the list goes on and on.

Look at the 'top stories' on any news site. See how many of them are about Trump or his minions.

It's a fucking train wreck. Unfortunately, it's going to wreck the country. 

And it's almost entirely Trump's fault. Either through his action or his inaction.

I've reached the point where I can no longer understand why anyone would actually support that fool.

It seems to be that either they are so stupid and gullible that they are still being conned. Whether it's the 'socialsim' crap, or the 'great leader' crap, they still buy it. 

Or, it's that they are willing to ignore the lies, the crimes, the malfeasance and corruption because they support his racism and hatred. They support the sending of 'storm troops' to Portland because they are beating up on the 'liberals'. It goes along with some of the Trump signs I've seen. 
"Trump - Make Liberals Cry Again"
Really.

Their entire focus is on hurting people they don't like. 

Its fucking sick.

Feels more like a gun to it's head.

 

. . .and I mean that in more ways than one.

I agree with most of that - but it's not going to wreck the country.  We've been through race riots and Kent State.  We've been through 9/11 and the Spanish Flu.  We've even been through a civil war.  This won't be that bad.

6 months ago posters here claimed they could not think of anything that could slow the US economy. 
 

The same economy that just had the worst quarter in history.
