This brings out the best in the best people, and the worst in the worst people. It's that simple.
I also have a difficult time with that word. Especially coming out of the mouth of a grown man who is supposed to represent The People. He's grown physically not so much mentally or emotionally.
Growing up I had a cousin with special needs. A sweet, gentle, loving little boy.
Other children, boys mostly, brats really, would taunt him and make fun of him. Thankfully he wasn't even aware of their cruelty. He was happy in his own little world playing with a belt or a vaccumm cleaner hose.
It makes me sad and mad to think those cruel brats could be just as cruel and stupid today as grown men.
We need more women politicians. I know we're not perfect, but most of are also not AS insensitive or clueless as many grown men who are still bullies and thugs, and not even slightly aware of it.

OMG! That was too funny. The guy sounds exactly like him!
I could hear trump saying and believing all those things. That was the scary part.
Thanks for posting that video, Joyce. I needed that laugh. Lol.

According to CNN, this JA's approval rating since the coronavirus hit is higher than it has ever been in his presidency. How on earth is this possible?! Truly this country must be filled to overflowing with total idiots.

I am watching Cpan of the House. very Bipartisan for the most part. Halyley of Michigan was cut off too long. AOC is on. She represents the queens hospital that had 13 die in 1 day.

MSNBC was reporting this morning that while it is certain the bill will pass that there is a possibility that one or two congressmen may try to grandstand and make a "point" thereby delaying the process. I really hope that's not the case. If there was ever a time for bi-partisanship and getting things done quickly this is it. If someone delays the bill, I hope it will not be a Democrat because that would hurt big time in November.

Some guy from Kentucky is calling for a role call vote which means they need to have a quorum. DT is trashing him on twitter; for once I agree with him.
One House rep is driving 10 hours to get to the chamber to vote. Hope it will not prove to be necessary.
DT's approval rating is actually pretty low for a time of crisis. Check out Dubya's approval after 9/11 - I think it was like 90%. There were other instances that are escaping my scattered mind.
I'm thinking the ones who approve are Fox News viewers and folks who are desperate to believe anything that will allay their fears. Also, polls, who knows how accurate these days?

ENTERTAINMENT 03/27/2020 08:37 am ET NPR Station Stops Airing Trump Coronavirus Briefings For ‘False Information’ Seattle’s KUOW said fact-checking the president’s falsehoods and exaggeration became a challenge during the live broadcast.
I absolutely think more Stations need to do the exact same thing. I personally think that Dr Fauci & Dr Birex could get their message across better on their own, like CNN townhalls, interviews, etc. Standing next to Trump & Pence just puts their reputations in question when they have to dance around the false info from Trump & Pence. I totally trust what the 2 Dr say, but to be honest I don't like that they have to be careful of their words so as not to offend Trump. Not Good!! There just has to be a better way to message their info. Plus, if he fires them or takes them off the task force, so what, they will find other ways to communicate.
Trump Campaign threatens stations to stop airing ads criticizing Trump or else they will lose their license to broadcast. REALLY!! WOW! They must be desperate to make threats like that.
I don't believe any polls that has Trump with a favorable rating.
We picked up our first online order. They brought the order out to the car. I think there were only a couple items they didn't have & they substituted on a couple others, which I was fine with. The lady that brought out the groceries, said they have been so busy all day doing online orders. I'm sure that availability will be sketchy as time goes on. But we are good for quite awhile now. I almost feel guilty that we can afford to buy what we need & have a well stocked pantry when so many go without. I will have to be mindful of ways to pay it forward from now on in any way I can.

Linda, that's exactly how I feel. All around the country people are truly hurting. I also think of all the homeless who have no safe place to "shelter in place." DH and I are amazingly blessed. We not only have everything we need, we pretty much have everything we could want (other than milk and frozen waffles, LOL), yet others are having to do without and don't have options. It makes me feel very humble, and you're right we need to find ways to pay it forward. You have already been doing that with your little library, and once this is all behind us I expect you'll be doing that again.

Welcome back Anne! Happy to see you back. lani , what a sad commentary that headline is and yet how accurate. Anne, I got a laugh out of your response. Happy to see the House passed the bill, now let's get those checks or direct deposits out to the people who are in need--the sooner the better for each of them. I'm sure the JA will take credit for the whole thing, but I for one am grateful to see that it is still possible to have some bipartisanship. I had begun to fear we'd never see that again. Now if only we could continue . . .

"We are now all together on the Titanic," he said. "And it's pretty clear that there aren't enough lifeboats and there aren't enough life preservers." -- Arthur Caplan, Director of the Division of Medical Ethics at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine
Not easy to hear, but we are far better off being told the truth than being led down a false primrose path like Trump keeps trying to do.

The man has something that appeals to his 43% loyal base, that is a pretty consistent number. But you have to wonder why these people choose to defend and follow a proven liar and screw up? What pray tell is the attraction? And we all have been wondering that since before he was elected! I get his family, staff and so called friends, they are just feeding at the trough till the swill is all gone.
