(10,214 posts)He is such a disgrace to America and the whole human race. If his dumbfuckery leads to the Dems taking back the presidency and the senate at least some good will come from an otherwise waste of oxygen.

(86,665 posts)It caused him to start his death rallies. He needs adoration and from people he wants to hear it from.

(42,770 posts)Leaving the country without a leader thru an emergency. Granted he wasn't a real leader but now we have no one and it is very obvious. Huge moral failure.
Politically very stupid move. His #s have been inching down ever since.

(42,770 posts)Have ridiculed him so much. No matter how tempting and how ridiculous. Sometime you have to use a sociopath to your advantage.

(58,785 posts)wait in wherever-I've-forgotten, and be ushered into The Presence, or not. But they'd have written recommendations to provide.
As for attending the meetings, maybe pull up the list of who's on that. After not finding one in several I gave up looking up names to find out how many of the couple dozen members were actually experts, besides Fauci and Birx. Trump filled this "task force" with Trump trash.

(42,770 posts)going, he only came every 8 days?. Yes - exactly like an evil king.
They also said they shipped Fauci to another conference call yesterday so he wouldn't be in task force meeting. Pence such a tool.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)Take him out, leave the Trump trash.
Birx still supposedly "has Trump's ear," so she'll be chained to him for as long as that amuses him. She's apparently trying to tout masks as fashion statements to those RW whackjobs who listen to him and no one else.

(42,770 posts)on or MAGA mask or anything to make it be cool and macho enough for his followers. Ridiculous yet people might actually be alive today because of it.
Have you seen Dr Peter Hotez on CNN? Baylor Medicine. He said last week that someone in government needed to somehow figure out how to pull the leadership of the pandemic out if Trump's hands to create and autonomous organization to lead the country out of this. Like somehow remove CDC and make them in charge 100%.
Hotez seriously thinks we have to do something super urgent at this point and that it's a runaway out of control.
U still in FL?
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)is, doesn't it? I don't see how that could happen, though, as long as the senate Republicans are also in up over their hair implants in this national holocaust. And true to the Republicans appointing incompetents to lead government agencies as part of destroying them, the current disaster in charge of the CDC would need to be removed or sidelined.
Yes, we're still in FL, but husband's getting antsy, fishing's slow, and FL's rate of infection is soaring, so will probably return to N GA before long. Hospitals in both areas still have open beds right now but won't have room in the halls long before this is over.
You and yours stay well.
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)kudos to them ?? Actually don't hear anyone on either side screaming. So maybe not as bad as it feels?
Wow, heard AC interview Dr. Redfield CDC tonight. Talk about a supposedly smart, accomplished doctor with not one iota of passion or urgency. WTF...
Fish aren't biting in FL in July? Go to the LA bayou... Just below New Orleans. Brackish. Fish literally jump out of water in July.

(42,770 posts)seeing my family since my dad died of COVID. Hopefully our spats while driving (like about what temp air is on) don't turn violent . Lol Two stops planned.. Little Rock and Roanoke.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)hope you enjoy the drive as a change and have a really special time with your family.
I'm going to pass on the suggestion about LA fishing because I'm a good wife, though summer wouldn't be my own first choice of when to visit.
Stay safe.
