I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the longest Black History Month in years falls under our Benevolent Lord Trump’s administration. Thank you, Lord Trump. Thank you.

Return????

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said on Monday that Americans' risk of coronavirus infection remains “very low” due to President Trump’s “unprecedented, aggressive, and early steps” to combat the virus.

So the fed just announced an "emergency rate cut"...a few points here:

1. Central bankers manipulating/gaming the economy is how we all ended up on this precipice to begin with.

2. In the long run this will make the US/worldwide economy sicker.

The big takeaway here is the "roaring economy" we have kept hearing about for years now is total bullshit. The US stock market doesn't lose 3.4 Trillion in 3 trading days because of some virus unless all the underlying fundamentals were weak to begin with. The strength of the economy and stock market has been a mirage brought to you by governments printing money, reducing interest rates so all kinds of easy money was out there, and making asset purchases in the markets to keep them afloat.

Some time ago we entered a new era of government controlled capitalism and it's not going well.

Whoopsie...market DOWN 1.4% since the announcement.

I guess we needed a bigger rate cut. Could we see 2 in the same day? Everyone feeling confident yet?

never mind, my bad.

Shump Dithole.

Every time I open this page and scroll, at first glance I read it as Shump Dithole. My eyesight is getting bad and I'm becoming intermittently dyslexic. Why I even bothered to post this totally useless information I have no idea.

Why didn't Trump close HIS eyes?
Is he praying to his own reflection in the camera lens?

If it was poorly painted instead of a photo, that picture looks like some kind of dystopian satire that would be on a death metal album cover.

Our reality is a dystopian satire.

Trump floats his own coronavirus hunches
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/0 ... ate-121892

President Donald Trump on Wednesday night spun a web of theories minimizing the coronavirus' threat to Americans, accusing the World Health Organization of dispensing inaccurate facts about the outbreak and suggesting that those with the disease could be safe going to work.

"Well, I think the 3.4 percent is really a false number. Now, and this is just my hunch, and — but based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this. Because a lot people will have this and it's very mild. They'll get better very rapidly. They don't even see a doctor. They don't even call a doctor," Trump said.

"You never hear about those people. So you can't put them down in the category of the overall population in terms of this corona flu and — or virus. So you just can't do that," he continued. "So if, you know, we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better, just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work but they get better."


"When you do have a death — like you had in the state of Washington, like you had one in California, believe you had one in New York — you know, all of a sudden, it seems like 3 or 4 percent, which is a very high number, as opposed to a fraction of 1 percent," Trump told Hannity. Although 11 cases have been reported in New York, no deaths in the state have been officially attributed to the coronavirus.

"But again, they don't know about the easy cases because the easy cases don't go to the hospital. They don't report to doctors or the hospital, in many cases," Trump said. "So I think that that number is very high. I think the number, personally, I would say the number is way under 1 percent."

On Thursday morning, the president pushed back against media coverage of his interview, insisting that "I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work."

"This is just more Fake News and disinformation put out by the Democrats, in particular MSDNC," he wrote on Twitter. "Comcast covers the CoronaVirus situation horribly, only looking to do harm to the incredible & successful effort being made!"



........................................................................................

Trump is known to be a germaphobe. No wonder he's so pissed off. His rallies are his bread and butter. Soon, the air at those rallies may be teaming with the creepy virus GERMS! The kind the great unwashed get!
If he tells people to stay home, will attendance numbers drop? If he tells them to carry on as usual, will he catch their cooties?
He must really be squirming right now.

Wiggum Barr got ripped by a Federal Judge in court earlier today during a FOIA request of the Mueller Report claiming Barr misrepresented the Mueller Report and wants to see the un-redacted version because Barr can't be trusted.

Seriously.

When was the last time you saw those two at the same place at the same time?

Actually, I thought he was busy on his "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" world tour.

On that note, the only good thing to come out of this panic is watching the Orange Asshat mumble his words and completely contradict himself every hour he’s asked about the issue.

Leadership at its finest!

He attacks anyone or anything that takes attention away from himself. A pathological circus of insane antics day after day. No one could have ever written a screenplay quite like this before it happened.

So it looks like on the last day of CPAC Trump shook the hand of the CPAC chairman, who had been exposed to someone with the coronavirus at the conference.

When lies meet reality.

Really?

Reichlike, why aren't you successful? Is it stupidity or laziness, perhaps both? All you need to succeed is hard work and intelligence, according to Republicans.

Washington, DC (CNN) While holding a press conference on Friday in Atlanta about the current coronavirus outbreak, President Donald Trump said that he didn't know people died of the flu. His grandfather died of influenza in 1918, according to Trump biographer Gwenda Blair.

"When I was hearing the amount of people that died with the flu, I was shocked to hear it," Trump said while touring the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's headquarters. "Over the last, long period of time when people have the flu, you have an average of 36,000 people dying. I've never heard those numbers, I would've been shocked. I would have said, 'Does anybody die of the flu?' I didn't know people died from the flu."

This proves Obama was fucking up the economy back in the 70’s, too.

Why post this lame assed crap in this thread reichlike?

There is a thread on here dedicated to political humor, for both librul snowflakes and pea brained Trumptards to post in on this forum: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=352020, so why are you dumping these incredible lame and poorly created memes in here? Do you really think you're really one upping someone here?

Seriously Dym could probably come up with more creative and humorous memes and he's a methed out half wit....

Blame the black guitar.

Trump claims that he had no idea the flu killed people.

His grandfather succumbed to it.

More people died in WWI from influenza than actual combat.

The stupidity is numbing but completely expected.
