How To Live Under An Unqualified President by John Piper

It seems what now excites the left and right, is seeing Trump get his butt kicked, and conversely, enjoying his opponents getting theirs kicked.:frowning:

Hopefully Dave and Bob - it’s a kick like this. :smiley:

But I Need a Kick-In-The_Butt

Something is just not right here.

Yesterday, Joe Biden did an interview on ABC’s ‘This Week’ in which he produced a world salad so bad that it’ll leave you wondering whether all those rumors about replacing him on the ticket are real. The following clip has not been manipulated. It’s real and if it doesn’t leave you questioning the former VP’s ability to function, you are being willfully blind.

"Joe Biden: “We cannot let this, we’ve never allowed any crisis from the Civil War straight through to the pandemic of 17, all the way around, 16, we have never, never let our democracy sakes second fiddle, way they, we can both have a democracy and … correct the public health.”
“Keep in mind, this is after Biden hadn’t appeared on TV for several days. He’s been at home, not exhaustively crisscrossing the country via campaign events. There’s no reason for him to be “tired” or any other more mundane explainer for why he goes so off the rails here. After his continual gaffes and general inability to process his thoughts, there’s also no question that his handlers are doing everything they can to fix this.”

My guess is that the Dems won’t let Joe run against Trump. Just a guess. I suppose Cuomo could step in and take a shot?

If Biden is disqualified then how could it not be Bernie the second highest vote getter?

If they had wanted Bern, they wouldn’t have ‘arranged’ for him to take so many hits, imo. I’m probably wrong, but it seems to me that the Dems don’t want Bernie running. But seriously, they cannot want Biden to run unless they just want a puppet in the White House, which they might. I don’t know. It will be interesting.

Why wouldn’t they want a puppet in the WH. Biden may be perfect because then either Jill Biden or Biden’s sister or V/P or Obama or Hillary or some Dem boss can be the real Pres hiding behind the curtain. The Wizard of Oz President!

Dang, you may be right!

Well, at least we have a vaccine for fear. :smiley:



And some business CEO’s are stepping up. :smiley:

And don’t be a billionaire and have Putin mad at you. :crazy_face:

Oh, yes. We have to mention a president, to have a relevant topic post. Let me check Morning Brew :crazy_face:

Let me quote from it. :crazy_face:

Here’s a tongue twister: Say “hydroxychloroquine” three times.

Now a brain twister: President Trump and other high-ranking U.S. officials are encouraging doctors to use the anti-malaria drug to treat patients with COVID-19…despite warnings from medical leaders.

The drug reportedly hit the president’s radar several weeks ago after a Fox News segment detailed its effectiveness in a French trial. Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison and Rudy Giuliani both pushed the president to advocate for hydroxychloroquine, and Giuliani has aggressively championed the drug.

Many are skeptical. Infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said it’s only supported by anecdotal findings. The American Medical Association’s president said she wouldn’t prescribe it over concerns of severe side effects.

The sudden spike in demand is raising supply concerns, especially among patients who take it for autoimmune conditions like lupus and arthritis. Yesterday, India eased a ban on foreign exports of the drug after President Trump threatened to retaliate.

Looking ahead… some doctors are already prescribing COVID-19 patients hydroxychloroquine after the FDA authorized emergency use of the drug last week. Desperate for anything to reduce America’s 380,000+ cases, Trump mused Sunday, “What do you have to lose?”

Let me try to answer the question:

“What do you have to lose?”

Let me answer that question. When the AMA president won’t use it, because of severe side effects. And COVID-19 can kill people. The combination of a virus that kills and a drug with severe side effects, might make things worse. We need more controlled studies first.

Trump planned to run against ‘Socialism,’ but after exploding the deficit for perks to big business, is now leading the doling out of record federal cash… Steve Bannon says a GOP committed to limited government is forever gone. This campaign may just be another ‘culture war’ battle.

I shared this in another forum thread. Bernie is dropping out :wink:

Thank goodness, a vote to offset Bob’s vote!

Now this is interesting. :smiley:

It could be we need to come together.

Yep, while I don’t care for the culture wars, I think the GOP reliance on them has been brilliantly effective, and especially carries most of my generation and my old fundamentalist parishioners.

What’s new in the BBC today? :crazy_face:
