Just saw Mitch on CNN. He didn’t look good. Pink faced Perspiration while also pale. I don’t know if he has it or or not. Or even if I wish it on him - just need him to step away in whatever form - I am handing it over to the Universe. ??
@jampa.Welcome!
Interesting that Tucker Carlson is now Mr. Moral Carlson, calling out Senator Barr for insider trading? The same Tucker Carlson who according to WAPO "also felt a moral obligation to assert that immigrants were making the United States “dirtier”; to suggest that Democrats “hate” America.
@jeanne-mayell Oh, I'm not a fan of Carlson at all. I mention it because it shows this scandal might jump the ideological gap that previous scandals in the past few years haven't.
@jampa Thanks and i should have been more careful and considerate to first thank you for your great post! But it is late at night and weariness made me snarky about Carlson not at all about you. I want again to welcome you!! So sorry to give you the wrong impression. And thank you for the post. I knew about Barr — ProPublica broke the story but you broke the Carlson-Barr story for us. I hope you will stick around and join in some more. The app removes newcomers’ links in the beginning but that will change.
Welcome aboard new folks! (Am I missing anyone?)
We're like a beautiful cruise to sometimes otherworldly destinations, except without the horrors of a 24/7 open buffet (omg, egg salad on a buffet, you guys), overly-drunken passengers, or chances of being refused the right to disembark because why not let people stew in a 200-ton petri dish during the middle of a life threatening pandemic?
My take? Tucker is attempting his best moral high ground impression right now because he was made for the theatre but his father considered acting a wuss occupation. Or simply because he's ticked that he didn't get the heads up in time to sell off (his network was touting covid as an overblown hoax until like .5 seconds ago). And there's nothing he hates more than immigrants, minorities, and being left out of a good steal.
That, and pretentious posturing of the type favored by his ilk is utterly relative and value-less. Consistency in principles doesn't make you successful, famous, or stupidly rich in an Ayn Randian universe, y'all. Only financial parasitism and reactive attack theatre does that.
Thank you for the welcome. And thank you for everyone's posts that keep me hopeful when I can't sleep at night.
Jampa and drolma: Welcome to this forum. The folks here are lovely and wonderful welcoming souls of all types and I'm so glad for each and everyone of them! What's funny about Tucker (totally agree with Vestralux and Jeanne) is this fits in with a hit in the predictions page above from 11.11.19:
TriciaCT : March 2020: Seriousness in Washington, we are getting close to a change with the GOP
I just hope that the next move is to ask for Trump's resignation because him and his enablers (in my humble opinion) are CRIMINALLY responsible for the spread of the virus in the USA due to their scoffing and blame game and lack of preparedness, thereby the deaths of many (in addition to the $$ aspect to many). I hope there's an uprising (albeit not with crowds - virtual) by all people and lawmakers pronto!
@triciact thank you for this (and Happy Belated Birthday by a few days now)!
I agree - I believe that more senators are involved than we know about as of yet, and since the Trump family finances are currently secret, we don't actually know whether they also dumped stocks with this insider information - but many folks are calling this out right now and are asking for this information to come out into the open! If these senators have profited, then most assuredly, the Trump family has done so as well since they have been privy to the same information.
Thank you @turtle26
More evidence of what Trump's initial reaction did to those in his base and in Mid west and southern states:
Coronavirus deniers and hoaxers persist despite dire warnings, claiming ‘it’s mass hysteria’

@vestralux May I add, welcome all. You will find this forum and the dear souls here like a beautiful, calming place when the crazy din of the world becomes too much. Again I am so thankful for you all. Peace, calm and health to all. ☮️❤️??
This moron seriously cant get anything right. He has no capability of thinking even 2 seconds in the future. His latest idiot move is telling the Governors that they need to find their own supplies then the fricken imbecile outbids them for the same supplies.
I really dislike having to hear each person that comes to the podium kowtow to Fearless Leader by fulsome praise no matter what their oratory....really makes it hard to listen.... I could only listen for a mere 5 minutes before nausea overcame me and I turned it off.
That, and calling people stupid..as Forrest Gump's Mama said "stupid is as stupid does"
When my son was small I worked in daycare.. so that I could be with him as a baby.... all the talking heads remind me of 2-4 year olds screaming on the playground with a few 10-12 year olds trying to maintain order.
how come they are not practicing social distancing? NY governor and NYC mayor does. But nope not Turd or his minions. I saw Ben Carlson was coughing and he touched his face..yikes and he is a “dr”
I don’t know how any one can hear him talk. I immediately turn the channel.
I also saw Dr Faucii have to cover his face as he was snickering at "Deep state" remark by Fearless Leader.
I used to be able to handle hearing him talk but I cant anymore. I seriously want to jump thru the screen and slap the stupid out of him. The only bright spot is that his people are starting to turn on him a little and by the time that their ignorance and insistence on following him causes them to all get sick, many more will either turn or be too sick to vote. This is definitely the end of Trump, even if he did really test negative.
