I have been reading his pompous, arrogant and lecturing posts for decades Jim and that is exactly how he behaves. You can call it a personal attack if you want but I call it the truth.

I didn't say that. But if the Democrats have any ideas other than remaining in " a lockdown". I'll be happy to entertain it.

Well put, Catfish. I find Trump easier to take as long as I don't listen to him directly. His followers claim the media has a mission to cast him in as bad a light as possible. Yes, I think that's obviously true. But he makes it worse with his blathering and badly formed thoughts. He's not stupid but he excels at expressing himself stupidly. That may be a great weapon against his enemies but it also blunts his appeal to people like me.

Policies, I keep reminding myself. Have to concentrate on the candidate/party that promotes the policies that are best for the country (not necessarily myself). That and the upcoming Supreme Court vacancy.

Although I really don't think a lot of America "loves" that, we kinda tolerate it.

Knowing how much it will pee people off? I have to post a picture of my new acquisition.

Buddahaid · 04-23-20, 04:20 PM

Doesn't look very cuddly, more like creepy.

My first thought was

Russian Bear.

Secondly if you give it to a little children, s/he will see it as it is a toy they can play with or be friend with-They don't see any likeness to President Trump
(This I'm convinced of)

Maybe it needs a phone to tweet from?
Hold on! I got one here some where I can add!

Jeff-Groves · 04-23-20, 04:47 PM

Happy now?

Jeff-Groves · 04-23-20, 05:18 PM

I think he wants to talk crap!

Maybe I should start a new thread.
Like the Adventures of Trumpy Bear?

Trumpy Bear aint got nothin' on President Trump's tweet yesterday "I have instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea," which appeared to have triggered a rebound in oil markets on the potential for increased tensions in the Middle East. Crude oil closed +19%/$13.78 per barrel today.

In other news since we dont have a E.U. politics forum. (obviously things are just fine over there) French police were beating uniformed firemen during protests last week and in Paris there was more rioting and things burning again this week.

Europe: A severe recession is unavoidable. The IHS Markit composite PMI™ output index for the eurozone plunged by around 20 points in March, four times the magnitude of the prior record monthly decline at the height of the 2008-09 global financial crisis. Consequently, we now predict the virus-induced recessions this year will be significantly deeper than during 2008-09. The most severe quarter-on-quarter contraction will occur in the second quarter, when eurozone real GDP falls at a quarterly rate of 5.7%. Although they will not prevent deep recessions in the near term, stepped-up fiscal and monetary policy measures can help to avoid a prolonged eurozone downturn by preserving businesses and jobs.

I'm all for that but......
Shoot down a freaking Boat?
I wasn't aware they had flying boats!
Maybe it's a Mod I've never seen.

Rockstar · 04-23-20, 07:22 PM

The politics of hydroxychloroquin, pretty much nails it how our two little conspiracy theorists are not always right. On a side note I think Laura is a hottie.
