Hey, I just want you all to know:
President Trump is taking unprecedented action to protect Americans {from the WH email blast of the day; yet another all about trump and nothing else headline}

I'm still shaking my head at some of my FB friends who honestly believe that this is a Democratic media conspiracy to make trump look bad so they can win in November. Again, how is the media in charge of the steps that the rest of the world take? Let alone here in the US.

I've gotten to the point where I don't even talk about this stuff with certain people any more. I am afraid if I really look at them based on what they are saying about this shit, I can't continue my relationship with them and vice versa.

Somewhat related. When I drove my daughter & friend to early voting yesterday, she actually said we can't talk politics during the trip. They were going to vote for Sanders and me for Biden. |

Unfortunately I guess in the age of social media the two had to collide. I'm in the non-partisan opinion (certainly not a Trump supporter here) that the media has jacked this up 1000% and loves themselves a mass hysteria story where they can then later back away and wonder where the mass hysteria comes from. (See terror attacks, disease outbreaks, mass shootings...) However much like the tea party movement the GOP has seemed to take this one over and make it about Trump. IMO this won't have a good end. Because either... 1) A lot of people will end up dying. 2) Relatively few people will die Clearly 1 is awful so why is 2 so bad? Almost certainly guarantees a Trump reelection and ramps up the us vs the media rhetoric. |

I quit Facebook back before Christmas. It was a good decision.
I am close to doing the same thing with Twitter, but I use it for news concerning sports, college and local softball news. So, I'm not sure I can go without it.

He tried shouting FAKE NEWS at the virus, but that didn't help. He tried travel banning the virus, but that didn't help. Now he's blaming Obama for the virus, and that won't help. Those are the only three moves he's ever needed. I'm honestly scared over what his as-yet-unseen fourth move will be. Last edited by albionmoonlight : 03-13-2020 at 10:32 AM. |

Twitter allows you to mute tweets that contain certain words. That should let you curate your list to more sports focused news. You will miss the occasional softball tweet that also happens to mention Trump or Biden, but that seems like a small price to pay. |

I'm guessing he'll do nothing and wait until the pandemic is over and then take credit for eliminating the virus.

Sell all your stocks before 3 pm. Trump just announced another news conference.

A friend of mine (not a Trump guy, just someone who thinks people get overwrought by everything) just sent me an article by an orthopedist (but he's a doctors!!1!) saying people are over panicking because the actual mortality rate is probably going to be 1% which is the same as the mortality rate of people who are over 75 who get the flu... So it's the same. I about bit my friend's head off for that one.

I'm hopeful that he will say the right things, in the right tone, and without BS blaming others. He can still save the situation if he changes. If I was him, I would say "I am accountable and will take charge of the response now". Here's are the things that we are working on and by when. 1) Met with 3M etc. and they are ramping up n95 production. We will have X by Y date 2) Met with P&G etc. and they are ramping up sanitizer, bleach, toilet paper, whatever production. We will have X by Y date 3) Met with Food companies etc. and they are ramping up food production, bottled water 4) Met with Fed, SBA, Banks etc. and they are ready to do X, Y, Z 5) Met with Democrats and will have a plan for sick leave, tax deadline etc. 6) Met with our European & Asian colleagues and we have setup a task force to coordinate globally 7) Met with small-med-big business representatives, I heard what they need etc. 8) Met with Governors, I heard what they need and we agreed to do X, Y, Z 9) Met with Pharma's and here is their progress on vaccines 10) I have formed a focused task force with Fauci etc. They will report directly to me and I will listen to their recommendations 11) I have setup a Reddit AMA (or like) and we'll have a FAQ created for all your Q&A 12) I have met with all news networks, we have agreed to do X, Y, Z 13) I have met with hospitals, nursing homes etc. and we will ramp up and do X, Y, Z 14) etc. There is just so many things he can do to help calm down the situation. He may have done some of it already but all people are seeing right now is lack of coordination and seemingly oblivious half-truths. Last edited by Edward64 : 03-13-2020 at 12:20 PM. |

Well, word is leaking rapidly that he'll invoke the Stafford Act to release emergency funds to state and local governments who might be able to do something with it. That could end the day on an up note. I'm all but sold already. |

Yeah, I know.
Maybe I should run against Tarcone for President. Cabinet positions available, let me know which ones you want. EDIT: You can pick DHS but I'm reserving the INS sub-cabinet (?) post for myself. Last edited by Edward64 : 03-13-2020 at 01:23 PM. |

Thank God the President, last week, solved the testing problems.
Still shocks me to see good, accomplished people spend so much time licking Trump's arse.

Nice touch bringing up Walmart, CVS, Target, Google etc. Not sure we needed to have each one talk but better than hearing Trump's painful reading.

Dow was down 300 while Trump was talking. As soon as the good doctor took over it went through the roof.
