2020 Bingo is holding many beers.

KFC and McD's are to him what milk was to Ron Burgandy. You wonder why I eat organic and avoid corporate fast food on my own freewill. Morgan Spurlock is saying, "I told you so about super sizing."

It's one thing to take a measured approach as president to shutting down the economy, and quite another thing as a 70+yo obese man to thumb your nose at the Grim Reaper himself.

 

I'd be lying if I didn't admit that part of me suspects this is all staged so that Pence can replace Trump as the nominee.

And I'd be lying if I said a part of me suspects this is staged to give him the needed excuse to lose and still save face.

 

"Saving face" would mean that he's a person who can feel shame. That doesn't apply here.

Of course. You're completely correct. How silly of me.

For the first time in his life, he's done something positive. ;)

 

:LOL:

 

Leadership by non-example. He did everything you shouldn't do if you're trying to avoid the virus.

 

Seriously, would responsible parents advise their children to "be like the President" in any way?

 

Is there even one aspect of his life and career that you would want your kids to emulate? I don't think that there is.

Well, after staring at the eclipse without protection and having sex with a porn star without protection it's not too surprising.

 

Good grief.

 

I'm certain that this is the curse from RBG. If you walk by her grave, you can hear a faint cackle.

This must have really set them back on their heals...I haven't heard any conspiracy, blaming or lies in the last couple of days.

 

But the calls for 'delay the election' will start in 3,2,1....

 

Remember how people were memeing and joking that the glut of deaths in 2016 like Bowie, Alan Rickman, Prince et al were the beginning of how awful society and humanity have become? Maybe RBG is a reverse effect. Mysterious ways indeed.

So fricken tired of the whole thing. This all could have been different. And I know, first world problems, but it's really not fun trying to figure out how to have socially distanced Thanksgiving outside on the porch. 2 of my kids work in the health care field and can't take any chances.

Mrs Hemi is having the same discussion in bringing her 88 year old mom over with the rest of the family that's still working.

 

I hope she gets to come! Yes, this is getting old. We are thinking of wrapping the west end of the porch with a tarp to block the wind and getting some kind of propane heater? But I hear ya. My mom is 86 and 4 hrs away. We were happy to cook there but she is excited to have it with the neighbors so I hope it works out for her. It will be interesting. I hope this comes to an end at some point.

I will preface this by saying in no way am I feeling superior or the least bit happy with what is happening in the USA. I love your country and have spent a lot of time there. I wonder if you Americans understand the extent that your country has fallen in stature, in the rest of the world. What was once the beacon of freedom and the ideal way of life is openly mocked and ridiculed around the world. It is so sad really. This could be one of the worst outcomes of all of this.

Yeah, that's been my concern for a long time, actually, but Trump's style and the opposition's response to it has been embarrassing. And it has consequences.

Let me put your mind at ease. Many millions of U.S. citizens are fully aware of what the current administration has done to our nation and its reputation.

 

Our political system and discourse have been in decline for decades. Have we hit rock bottom this year? That remains to be seen....

I'm actually okay with him not dying. Living to see yourself lose and get in prison for the same reason as Capone and Snipes is a much bigger punishment than death. Hell, R Kelly got his ass kicked by an inmate a month ago and Bill Cosby is not loving his current life from what I've read. I'll take it as karma.

I agree that discourse has been in a spiral since the dawn of the 24hr media cycle. The book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" nailed that. I think the system is as resilient as ever, having effectively blocked radical swings in policy in both directions, and in how it continues to check tyrannies of majority. I am all for gridlock by design.

Yet there are people right here on TRF who will tell you things are great, couldn't be better. So much for Rush being a "thinking man's band."

Roger Waters' album Amused To Death was spot on as well.

 

Our political system was built wisely. It ensured that laws and amendments had to be really good and fair in order to be passed by a majority of the Congress.

 

That said, today's Congress is neck-deep in partisan contempt, finger-pointing and adversarialism. When impeachment proceedings are determined by strict party line voting (and not by the facts), it's obvious that the system has been compromised.

Yet you ignore the "bigger punishment than death" part. Not everyone can master this art like me.

Stephen Miller is excluded, though. Nazi Pauly Shore can go straight to hell.

I’ve ignored nothing, you’ve mastered nothing.

 

Don’t know you’re going on about with Pauly Shore. But ok whatever

Be real interesting to see how many of the Secret Service agents that rode in the car with him so he could feed his attention whoring get it. It is after all, from what I've read, a hermetically sealed vehicle (as well as bullet proof, etc.) and a perfect place for the virus to spread from one person to another rapidly. I mean it spread to a lot of people not wearing masks (which was pretty much all of them) in the Rose Garden ceremony for RBG and that was outdoors.

I know how f***ed up our system is and how more f***ed up the guy currently in charge has made it.
