Trump is increasingly irrelevant
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...ly-irrelevant/
Quote:
Trump is incapable of mastering any level of detail or accurately conveying it to the public. He either cannot remember, or never understood, what he is supposed to roll out and instead often chooses to make himself look better. His penchant for ad-libbing (as he did with disastrous result during his Oval Office speech Thursday night) causes more chaos and confusion.
Trump has neither the mental capacity nor the emotional tools to lead in a crisis. Increasingly, the best course of action seems to be to let him blather, but then hand off matters to the real adults who can correct his misstatements or take action in the real national interest.
We certainly are not relying on Trump to help us get through this. To the contrary, we will come through this horror only by working around an entirely unfit president.

National Security and Homeland Security Veterans:
Statement Endorsing Vice President Biden for President 2020
https://thesteadystate.org/
Quote:
Our nation’s foreign affairs are in disarray; our alliances frayed, and our national prestige declining. Our approach to both friends and enemies abroad has been chaotic and unprincipled. Our credibility as a nation has been lessened. And, perhaps most importantly, our place in the world as a source of moral leadership has nearly been lost. As a country, we are increasingly less secure and less safe.
To be clear, those of us signing this letter do not agree on everything, or even most things, concerning foreign policy, defense or homeland security. Our policy views cover most of the spectrum, and many of us have often been in opposition, sometimes bitterly, with each other. But we have always been bound by profound patriotism, and a deep belief in our American democracy.
But the course of events since the 2016 Presidential election has been deeply troubling. It is not just policy differences. President* Trump, and his approach to leadership at home and abroad, has created an existential danger to the United States, its place in the world, and the values we share. His reelection would continue this downward spiral, and will likely have catastrophic results. Democracy itself is at stake.

Donny’s new Mexico policy will slash US food supply during coronavirus crisis, farmers warn
“This threatens our ability to put food on Americans’ tables," the American Farm Bureau says
https://www.salon.com/2020/03/19/tru...-farmers-warn/
Because he’s such a stable genius. No doubt Fucker Carlson and the Faux “News” gang are praising this newest racist policy.

Fresh fruits and veggies will at least around here be a luxury for awhile.

They have eyes to see & ears to hear, but don't.
Seeing how some Americans steadfastly hold onto whatever tRump and his GOP cohorts tell them it mystified me. I really couldn't wrap my head around this. Then I began to think back to my history lessons where during WW2 when people on Japanese islands were told by the Japanese government that the evil Americans were coming to rape, torture and murder them. They were so convinced of this that they chose to commit mass suicide rather that submit to the "invading Americans".

Donny's Priority Is Making Sure Someone Else Takes the Blame If Things Go Bad
That's why he jumped on Fox "News" to say states have to take the lead in responding to a global pandemic, even though that is not possible.

Piece of shit.

A Bonanza for Rich Real Estate Investors, Tucked Into Stimulus Package
https://www.yahoo.com/news/bonanza-r...122407900.html
Quote:
Senate Republicans inserted an easy-to-overlook provision on Page 203 of the 880-page bill that would permit wealthy investors to use losses generated by real estate to minimize their taxes on profits from things like investments in the stock market. The estimated cost of the change over 10 years is $170 billion.
Under the existing tax code, when real estate investors generate losses from gradually writing down the value of their properties, a process known as depreciation, they can use some of those losses to offset other taxes. The result is that people can enjoy big tax breaks stemming from only-on-paper losses, even if they enjoy big cash profits in the real world.

So, despite provisions preventing the Trump Crime Family from benefiting, they will benefit. Bigly.
