I don't have time, busy doing great things, i like giving a different perspective, isn't it dull talking to people who agree all the time? Hard to find liberals who can debate without name calling or nasty attitudes.
Yes, I would not want to be anywhere near it after it leaves office because there is a danger of being a casualty from whomever wants to get to it.As soon as he's out of office his days are numbered. Too many will know he will throw them under the bus if he's prosecuted for anything, which is a guarantee he'll go the way of Epstein.
Can we soak him in it until he figures it out?
The US may have been slow to get started, but testing has been steadily ramping up since mid-March. We are up to half a million a day now:Here in NY you need a prescription, and have to meet one or more criteria, but those cover a lot of situations, including having attended a protest. There's nothing about tests being scarce. Perhaps this is a hopeful sign?
Even those whimpy little lighter-sized purse ones can clear a room toot-sweet.Can we soak him in it until he figures it out?
One time, we went to a kmart to get something. Someone had either on purpose or accidently triggered pepper spray in the BACK of the store - in the front, everyone was trying to pay and leave asap, not only to get out, but to let the staff get outside too. It was miserable.
Oh, good! At that rate, we should be able to get everyone tested in just under... two years.The US may have been slow to get started, but testing has been steadily ramping up since mid-March. We are up to half a million a day now:

EDIT: Followup...Aides to the president have reportedly been discussing plans for a speech in recent days in response to widespread bipartisan backlash to the president's response so far, which has included a tweet that read "when the looting starts, the shooting starts," a phrase that earned criticism from many, including some GOP members of the Senate.
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson hinted as much during an interview with CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.
"I believe you're going to be hearing from the president this week on this topic in some detail. And I would ask you maybe to reserve judgment until after that time," he said.
He's gonna do it anyway, of course. Too bad he won't be able to hear the people loudly booing their TVs (those who have the stomach to watch, that is). After his behavior throughout this whole thing, he has even less credibility than usual (can there be less than none?).Something to look forward to.

Pretty Much No One Thinks It's A Good Idea For Trump To Give A Speech On Racism And Unity
White House officials might be considering a plan for President Trump to formally speak on issues related to race and...talkingpointsmemo.com
In Donald Trump’s West Wing, being a member of the Trump family has historically been the ultimate job security. But that truism is being stress-tested after a run of polls consistently show Trump losing to Joe Biden at this stage of the race—a CNN poll this morning has him down 14 points. According to a source close to the White House, Trump has mulled taking oversight of the campaign away from his son-in-law Jared Kushner. “Trump is malignantly crazy about the bad poll numbers,” a former West Wing official said. “He’s going to broom Kushner and [Brad] Parscale—the numbers are not getting better,” a Republican close to the campaign said.
FiveThiryEight has Trump's approval rating at -13.0 today and dropping fast. His worst point was -20 in summer 2017, when they were trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Let's see if he can break his own record.He's gonna do it anyway, of course. Too bad he won't be able to hear the people loudly booing their TVs (those who have the stomach to watch, that is).

The blowback should be entertaining.
