  • I'd just like to point out that neither myself nor any of my fellow nurses, fellow advanced nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers ever swore an oath that we would lay down our lives for

    Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

  • I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

What's that old cliche all the networks pull out every presidential election night?  "The country goes as Ohio goes" or something to that effect.

May I remind everyone that last month Ohio's state version of Fauci "guestimated" that the state had over 100,000 cases of Coronavirus.  The current count last I checked was eight thousand something.

 

As far as defending what Trump did today all I have to say is this......

 

93% percent

You are such an obviously ridiculous troll you deserve a severe dock in pay. You really do suck at this.

having the briefing outside is so transparent. they limit the amount of reporters in the briefing room and when he’s getting hammered he’s forced to keep calling on the same ones. 

notice how many more options he has today.

hahaha, now he's going all in on "quiet!" he interrupts reporters before they can answer questions. now he's threatening to leave if the reporter actually finishes his question. he never lets a reporter finish a question unless it's oan. this is crazy.

He’s a deranged lunatic who is trapped with no way out. 

does anyone have a link to the twitter thread analyzing the art of the trump interruption in these things?  i can’t find it. was very interesting. 

this performance is beyond the pale. glad it tuned into this episode (credit to gandorf for initially likening this to comedy sitcoms)

it really is the same message creep every day, just move the cone a little further each day.

We (the west) have completely failed our healthcare workers.

In a world awash in shame, this is particularly bitter to be a part of. We sent an army into the field with no armor. With few weapons. The leaders thumbed their nuts and looked at economic figures while these brave souls inhaled plague because they chose a life where you help people.

Just another round of callous, shameful acts that amount to passive cruelty. Hey, that's our brand! Brisket called it.

Let the little Mexicans shiver in cages. Separate small children from their families. Lump the people who harvest our crops with criminals. Shrug off a murder and dismemberment at the Saudi Embassy in Turkey. Jam a knife into the backs of our Kurdish allies whose female fighters we haled short months before.

You got a ship full of sick people? Citizens? Fuck that! Don't bring 'em here, it'll ruin the numbers.

Now we get to watch caregivers suffer and many die while Presidente Naranja brags that we didn't even lose a million people. Yuge success!

And we're a republic, so we all get to share the blame for inhuman policies.

My profound apologies to the healthcare workers. You are the only ones living this plague. The rest of us don't even see it.

I'm not as rich as Johnny Sack, but I have been tipping store clerks and restaurant workers who have to face the public everyday. A couple of dollars here and there. Maybe $50 all month. Seems like a small contribution.

he's limiting reporters to one question, and this reporter said "well, i was asking for a colleague who cannot be here," to which trump responds "who cares? if he can't be here, that's too bad."

Hey, that's our brand! Brisket called it.

Man, I really wish y'all would fuck off with this.  For the millionth time, more people voted against him than voted for him. 

on today’s episode of “credit & blame”...

he’s a banker, she’s a teacher, they’re the original odd couple!

oh, also, 29 states are apparently just fine, and ready to reopen their economies. he doesn't name the states.

I'm almost 50 and I can't remember a time in my life when this country was so weak.

 

hahaha, he's going to come down hard on governor's doing "bad jobs"

what % of the country’s economy comes from those 29 states?  go idaho go!

Reporter: I have 2 questions.

Trump: You get one.

Reporter: The second is for a colleage that can't be here.

Trump: SO they aren't here. So what? Who cares?

 

Very presidential.

He is the face of America right now. It makes us all look even worse that we allowed him into office with a minority of the vote. If I were German and never voted for Hitler, I'd still carry some of the shame of being a German in the mid 20th Century. 

We're not Nazi Germany, but neither was Nazi Germany when it all started.

Using your unspent political campaign money to cover legal and PR expenses after you get caught with an meth overdosed escort is the definition of political cool.

Negged for making an astonishing poor comparison. In that worst of moments, Obama faces the press (not a weakling move), doesn't blame a Republican (not a weakling move), actually knows what he's talking about (not a dumbass move). I could go on about eloquence. I could make a comparison about world wide respect which has long gone.

Hell, this president was still relevant on the world stage up until his last moment in office. That's not weakness. There is no comparison to any president that can make Trump look anything but weak and hopelessly stupid. His dithering over covid may surpass W Bush's Iraq invasion as the worst policy in 50 years.

You're holding up a picture of Charlize Theron without makeup and haggard and comparing it to a picture of a baboon's horrifying ass and saying, "I don't know, Charlize is looking pretty bad here."

No! Shut up! Burn that picture of the hemorrhoids, ya blind fuck!

Yeah, almost every president of my lifetime has backed down at some point on the international stage.

  • Nixon didn't end the Vietnam War with honor.
  • Ford???
  • Carter didn't get the hostages rescued by the crashed helicopters.
  • Reagan retreated and pulled the Marines out of Beirut.
  • Daddy Bush allowed Saddam to slaughter the Shiites and Kurds after promising we would help.
  • Clinton...I can't think of anything especially cowardly on a foreign policy front, but I'm sure there's something.
  • Shrub...he just fucked up absolutely everything and destabilized the entire Middle East.
  • Obama, yeah, said there was a red line and didn't follow up because Russia got involved and he didn't want a wider war.

But Trump has taken it to another level:

  • Trump stabbed the Kurds in the back
  • Trump has kowtowed to Putin
  • Trump played footsie with Kim
  • Trump allowed Erdogan's thugs to beat up American citizens on American Soil
  • Trump gave to go ahead to MBS to chop up a journalist working for an American newspaper.
  • Trump has worked three solid years to tear us up from inside by torching our foundational principles and the institutions that support them.

There's no fucking comparison on making us look weak.

It's grandstanding.  You both post shit like this and bemoan how horrible things are (which is correct) and then pivot into how YOU'RE not like that and that you're doing good things like showering service workers with a few extra sheckles here and there.  Guess what?  A huge percentage of us are doing shit like that too but not all of us feel the need to stand on a table and shout "Excuse me! Hey everybody!  Look at meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"  about it.  It's tiresome. 

Anyways, I will let you have the last word if you want it and then we can all get back to trashing our loathsome president. 

I appreciate his honesty if not his tact. 

GOP congressman says letting more Americans die of coronavirus is lesser of two evils compared to economy tanking

The nonpartisan truth is that we should be having more frank discussion about our health care choices as individuals and as a nation, about end of life care, basic health care, etc. It's long overdue. The resources are finite and we should deploy them most efficiently.

But there's a problem. The party of Death Panel fearmongering, Terry Schiavo, and The Unborn Babies! is incapable of having serious discussion for a variety of reasons that I'm too weary to enumerate. I wish to Jah that we weren't making these 'economic value of grandma' judgements on the fly.

That is why the news agencies should not show up or send in kids from a school newspaper in their stead.  Show him the respect he deserves.

And away we go.  Police shut down protest in North Carolina over excessive use of government authority.  So the First Amendment is a non-essential activity?

You answered it already.  There is no discussion to be had.  The R's only care about maintaining the status quo and enriching private enterprise.  Some of the D's want to remove the middleman and shift care to preventive vs. emergency while cutting out the middleman.

The part that pisses me off most is that it’s a false choice. It’s not the economy vs health/people dying. If you start telling people to go back to work we will have people die AND a shitty economy. I’m cynical enough to believe GOP understands this. They just want to be able to say “the economy would have been better off if you did things like I wanted” without actually doing it and being responsible for the results
