Not The Hardest Test
Watching President Donald Trump get interviewed by Chris Wallace on yesterday's Fox News Sunday was certainly instructive (and that's being as polite as I possibly can be). Not only did Trump display a staggering ignorance of the basic facts of the coronavirus pandemic crisis currently unfolding right before everyone's eyes, he also exhibited the same staggering level of ignorance on any number of subjects. Amusingly, Wallace fact-checked the president right to his face on several of these, which didn't exactly put Trump in a good light. But the most laughable thing Wallace exposed was Trump's continuing insistence that a mental acuity test he took a few years back was some sort of measure of his great intelligence. Wallace, as politely as he could manage, begged to differ: "It's not the hardest test."
Wallace is right -- it isn't. It is not an I.Q. test, it is not designed to measure intelligence in any way at all. Instead, it tests for major cognitive impairment. The test is a one-page form with several tasks for the patient to perform. One is to draw an analog clock with the hands at 11:10. Another is to identify drawings of various easily-identifiable animals (a camel, or an elephant). There are some basic memory tests as well.
Even before Wallace's interview, Trump had continually bragged about his perfect score on the test, as the Washington Post helpfully pointed out:
"I actually took one when I -- very recently, when I when I was, you know, the radical left was saying, 'Is he all there? Is he all there?' And I proved I was all there because I -- I aced the test," Trump claimed. "And [Joe Biden] should take the same exact test. The very standard test; I took it at Walter Reed Medical Center in front of doctors."
Trump then turned it up a bit.
"And they were very surprised," Trump said of the doctors. "They said that's an unbelievable thing. Rarely does anybody do what you just did."
No. That did not happen. Or, at least, it didn't happen without a qualifier like, "rarely does anybody your age not demonstrate any of the impairments this test is meant to measure," which is possible. But the doctors did not call this "an unbelievable thing." It would be like my fawning over your alphabet recitation: "Wow, you even nailed the L-M-N-O-P."
Getting a perfect score is literally the baseline for being normal, not for being exceptional.
Trump can't help it. If he does anything, he does it better than anyone. If he is being tested, his results are breathtakingly exceptional. If he is asked to draw a clock to measure whether he's experiencing any cognitive deterioration -- something worth tracking closely in part because his father died after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's -- then Trump will let you know that never has anyone drawn so amazing a clock. He will tell you that the doctors marveled at the precision of his placement of the 6-7-8-9 stretch and stood slack-jawed at how precisely the minute hand aimed at the 2. This is who Trump is, a guy who builds a 58-floor building in Manhattan and tells everyone it's 68 floors high.
All of that was written before the Wallace interview, where Trump brought up the test again after Wallace pointed out that more voters see Biden as mentally sound than they do the president. Once again, Trump challenged Biden to duelling tests: "Let's take a test right now. Let's go down -- Joe and I will take a test. Let him take the same test that I took." But then Wallace pushed back:
"It's not the hardest test," Wallace said. He noted that one question asked him to identify an elephant by looking at a picture of one.
Trump then conceded that some questions are easy but then remarkably contended that some are difficult as the test goes on: "But I'll bet you couldn't even answer the last five questions. I'll bet you couldn't. They get very hard, the last five questions."
Wallace shot back: "Well, one of them was count back from 100 by seven." He began counting: "Ninety-three."
In other circumstances, this could have come off as overly adversarial. But Wallace was putting his finger on the ridiculousness of the claim -- just as he had so many times previously in the interview.
Trump also insisted that he had turned in a perfect score of "35 out of 35." That might indicate a little memory impairment right there, since the test only has 30 possible points. But maybe Trump is right and the questions get harder towards the end? Well, no. They don't. [Please refer to the actual one-page test to see these for yourself.]
Technically, the last five questions are all contained within a single cognitive area, "Orientation." The patient is asked if he or she knows what date it is, what month it is, what year it is, and what day of the week it is. He or she is also asked what place he or she is in, and what city this place is in. Those are the final six questions, and you get one point for answering each correct.
This means that six points out of 30 -- a full 20 percent of the total -- is the knowledge of when and where the patient is. Those questions may be considered "very hard" by Donald Trump, but if that's true that really says something, doesn't it?
But let's be charitable and assume Trump lumped all those orientation questions in as a single question. So what are the other "very hard" questions Trump was talking about? Let's take them backwards from the end of the test.
The first is "delayed recall," where (assumably) the patient is asked to remember five unconnected words (face, velvet, church, daisy, red) that had been read by the examiner earlier in the test. One point is awarded for each right word, for a total of five points.
The next section is "abstraction" where the patient is asked to identify the similarity between two words (an example is given: "banana -- orange = fruit"). One point each is awarded for identifying the link between: "train -- bicycle," and: "watch -- ruler."
"Language" is next, where the patient is challenged to name all the words they can inside of one minute that begin with the letter "F." If they can name 11 words or more, they get one point total.
The patient is also asked to repeat two sentences, after they are read to them: "I only know that John is the one to help today," and: "The cat always hid under the couch when dogs were in the room." One point is awarded for each correct answer.
Even being generous, these are the five questions Trump was referring to. A total of 16 points -- one more than half the total points in the test -- are given for answering these correctly. Six of these points are given for just being aware of the current date and city. These are Trump's "very hard" questions?
The next item on the test is the one Wallace gently poked fun at Trump over: "Count backwards from 100 by sevens." Maybe that's the one Trump thought was "very hard."

It is not an I.Q. test, it is not designed to measure intelligence in any way at all. Instead, it tests for major cognitive impairment.
When I had my stroke, they gave me tests like this. I had no cognitive damage, but to say the least, I was shell-shocked. Those tests were easy enough to be annoying any way. The hardest question was "what day is this?", but that was because you lose track in the hospital (come to think of it, it happens during pandemic lockdown too). It's way past bizarre to brag about ace-ing it. They don't give it to you out of the blue. I believe he had a TIA (a mini stroke) in November when they took him to the hospital. The big one is coming.
Have another Big Mac, Drumpf.
Cruel.
Biden is really fortunate to be running against a mental patient who is hell bent on bringing media attention to and/or demonstrating his dementia. It should be the main issue for the election.
Heh.
Hey, wait just a second there, JFC ... are you saying that Biden could only beat a mental patient!!!???
No, of course not. Right?
Grab the smelling salts! Miss Liz is feeling wobbly.
Just to be clear [2] is in reference to [1]. Ahem.
I gotcha! :)
Didn't I?
No. I'm saying he's lucky to be running against this specific self-absorbed mental patient.
It's just that I didn't have anything useful to add to this piece.
The two Chris's said it all!
[7] Unlike your buddy, my reading comprehension is just fine.
Well, I don't think it is possible to get farther apart than the gulf that exists between Biden and Trump, to be serious for a moment.
Which means that once this presidential election campaign get underway for real, it is going to be tonnage of fun. :)
Ah, JfC, was [11] really necessary? I thought we were having a little fun, party pooper.
You must learn how to laugh, emojis or no emojis. Heh.
I feel nothing but dread (and not because I think Biden will lose). I never dreamed that rock bottom was quite as far down as it apparently is.
[11],
I didn't want Chris to think I was calling him or his piece cruel, you know ... :)
[13] Once again, you're reading anger or something into my comments. Try not to do that. It's rarely correct.
Oh, I hear your [14] ... I can only imagine what I would be feeling if I were an American today.
All I can offer you is one of my favourite quotes,
"It's always darkest before it's completely black."
Which I have been using right, left and center, these days ... :(
I really do feel for you and all of my American friends.
[16],
OMG!!!
Anger? I have never shown anger around here.
From, now on, know that I am joking unless I tell you that I'm serious, okay? :)
I have shown plenty of disappointment around here, though and, I am sure you can understand why.
Right. You wanted to call me cruel when I was just offering the obese orange stroke waiting to happen some sarcastic advice that he won't follow.
40% of men who have strokes have another. It's not the ones who change their ways.
Funnily enough, JFC, you remind me of me, only on your worst days.
That right up there is a compliment!
It means that you're way better than me but, I am trying ...
18] I did not accuse you of anger. I accused of misinterpreting my comment.
Right. You wanted to call me cruel
Wrong, actually. I was calling your comment cruel, not you. And, I was JOKING!
We're like two passing ships in the night ... and, I am out of here.
Right and I mocked you for it. Nobody's getting warped here.
Biden just needs to beat the mental patient. The bar is low.
Biden does need to take competency and integrity test.
Actually, Don, he doesn't need to do that either. Biden exudes competency and integrity.
Bark up someone else's tree! Heh.
I think Biden needs to beat Trump bigly - very, very bigly.
Otherwise, I just may lose faith in the American people, as a whole. And, that would make me very sad. :(
Define bigly.
You really should have already lost that faith. Look where we are.
Well, I'm stubborn, that way. Never lose faith until the bitter, bitter end. The end is nigh ...
Bigly ... hmmmm ... Chris would have to do the math for me but, Biden wins, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and/or one of the other battleground states.
How's that? Ya think it's possible?
Kick would have a lot of hard work ahead of her but, that is what it is going to take to beat Trump bigly - very, very bigly - a lot of very hard work.
Don't frak it up!
I suppose it depends on how many people in those state are dead from COVID-19 by November. Ahem.
I'm counting on y'all not to frak it up!
I think Texas is unlikely. Maybe Ohio. What's going to move things in his direction? His decision to restart the insane word salad daily Trump Virus propaganda shows? Cheating is the unknown factor.
Do you ever look at this site?
https://electoral-vote.com/
Why, should I?
Let me take a look ...
406? That would be bigly! It would also be too much to hope for, right?
So, whenever I'm feeling down, I'm going to that site while I listen to Over 60 minutes with PRiSM. Heh. No, seriously.
Hover over the states for poll results.
I did!
Also look at the senate counts.
Oh, yeah! The Senate! Holy shoot ... so, why shouldn't I have a little faith?
You don't think Biden is the guy to start righting the ship of state?
Well, you'd be wrong about that if you do.
I mean if you don't. :)
Joy Reid's new show debuted on MSLSD this evening. She got Chris Matthew's slot. Biden and Hilrod were both interviewed.
40% for Trump over Biden in Delaware!? What!?
And, so, what did you think of the interviews?
I hope Michale doesn't know about that Delaware poll, for obvious reasons.
During the Wallace interview Trump challenged himself with a memory:cognition:brass balls test by claiming that Biden had signed a pact with Bernie Sanders to defund police. Wallace called bull shit. A quick document check (by White House staff) indicated - on air mind you - that Trump had failed a real world cognition test of his own making: namely don't lie on air and then fact check yourself. That's the polite way of putting it.
I don't put as much stock in presidents as most people do. The one we have now is insane and I'm good with just about any reasonable alternative (no cult members).
Heh
That Heh was for TS.
I don't put much stock in presidents either - unless they are Biden or associated with Biden, naturally. :)
[53] TS
That was awesome, wasn't it?
Rather.
A definite sign that one should have more faith, no?
Too bad it was fake news.
Sheeee-it.
Shoulda seen that one coming ...
I didn't watch that show, but Joe probably shouted a lot and HilRod probably trolled Big Orange as if she wants to get kidnapped by his secret police.
But, after just one smallish glass of Sambuca and I'm done.
I almost posted, and I'm don. :)
I'm don.
You're sockpuppets?
Humph.
Only when I'm drunk.
Did you ever see Don's shindig in his backyard? It was real fun! He is a fun guy, at heart.

Hey CW, I am pretty sure that Trump is talking about his taking the test some weeks ago when Trump was rushed to Walter Reed Hospital, not the one he took when he supposedly had a physical in 2018. Trump has said as much on multiple occasions in the days after his late night hospital visit — claiming he “aced” the test “very recently”. Granted, you never can take Trump at his word, so who knows when he took it. But his renewed bragging about his test scores makes it seem more likely that he was recently tested. Also, he said “all of the doctors were surprised” by how well he did, and you would not have multiple doctors participating in such a test if it were simply part of his physical. It’s more likely that you would have multiple doctors involved in reviewing his test if the President’s mental state was so compromised that they had to rush him to the hospital.

Will you be writing about Trump's ever-increasing occupation of American cities?
As Senator Hart has said, Democracy is dying and it's starting in Portland.
CW: One point each is awarded for identifying the link between: "train -- bicycle," and: "watch -- ruler."
Doctor: ... train... bicycle
Trump: ... toys!
Doctor: ... watch... ruler
Trump: ... see Putin!
Doctor: ... Rarely does anybody do what you just did. *OMG*
Someone should tell Trump that the people wanting to take the Confederate generals names off of our military had thought that they could name one of the bases for him... Fort Trump... to honor his years of service.
You know that Trump’s position would change real quickly if he believed there was a chance that they’d name one for him!

The hardest question was "what day is this?", but that was because you lose track in the hospital (come to think of it, it happens during pandemic lockdown too).
I know, right!? Once when I was injured out of town, pitch dark outside, I'm in an ambulance on the way to the hospital, head bleeding, going through this verbal drill:
EMT: ... What day is it?
Me: ...... That depends.
EMT: ... Depends on what?
Me: ...... What time zone are we in, and is it after midnight?
EMT: ... I'm asking the questions.
Me: ...... Fine. I need more information to answer.
EMT: ... Moving on. Count backwards from 100 by 7.

Time to 'cancel' the New York Times
The family that owns the New York Times were slaveholders: Goodwin
It’s far worse than I thought. In addition to the many links between the family that owns the New York Times and the Civil War’s Confederacy, new evidence shows that members of the extended family were slaveholders.
Last Sunday, I recounted that Bertha Levy Ochs, the mother of Times patriarch Adolph S. Ochs, supported the South and slavery. She was caught smuggling medicine to Confederates in a baby carriage and her brother Oscar joined the rebel army.
I have since learned that, according to a family history, Oscar Levy fought alongside two Mississippi cousins, meaning at least three members of Bertha’s family fought for secession.
Adolph Ochs’ own “Southern sympathies” were reflected in the content of the Chattanooga Times, the first newspaper he owned, and then the New York Times. The latter published an editorial in 1900 saying the Democratic Party, which Ochs supported, “may justly insist that the evils of negro suffrage were wantonly inflicted on them.”
Six years later, the Times published a glowing profile of Confederate President Jefferson Davis on the 100th anniversary of his birth, calling him “the great Southern leader.”

If the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party had even an IOTA of integrity they would shut down the New York Times..
But, of course, since we're talking about the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party, no integrity at all enters the picture..
The blatant hypocrisy of ya'all is nearly unbelievable...
And yet, I am seeing it with my own eyes..
But o
Which brings up another good point that ya'all can't address..
If what happened in the Civil War has relevance today in the form of destroying American culture then the fact that the Democrat Party created the KKK *ALSO* has relevance..
If ya'all advocate tearing down confederate statues because of their link to slavery, then ya'all *MUST* advocate the tearing down of the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party as well..
The Party GAVE this country slavery and the KKK...
If ya'all DON'T advocate for the dismantling of the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party then that is the epitome of hypocrisy..
And ya'all are WALLOWING in it..
It's funny how ya'all's 'cancel culture' is completely and utterly synced to ya'all's Party slavery and agenda...
Smithsonian Institution Explains that 'Rationality' & 'Hard Work' are Racist
What are these sinister aspects of “white culture,” you ask? Well, according to the Smithsonian, values like “hard work,” “self-reliance,” “be[ing] polite,” and timeliness are all a product of the “white dominant culture.” Indeed, it turns out that conventional grammar, Christianity, the notion that “intent counts” in courts of law, and the scientific method and its emphasis on “objective, rational linear thinking” are all proprietary to “white culture.”
https://www.realclearpolicy.com/articles/2020/07/20/smithsonian_institute_explains_that_rationality_and_hard_work_are_racist_499425.html
And you people expect the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party to WIN with this attitude???
You people really ARE delusional, ain'tcha... :D
There are several things that might be said about all this. But the place to start may be by observing just how insidious it is to teach black children to reject intellectual and personal traits that promote personal and civic success — in the U.S. or anywhere else. After all, in what land are students well-served when they’re encouraged not to work hard, make decisions, think rationally, or be polite and on time? Among the extraordinarily accomplished people honored by the museum, those such as Frederick Douglass; Harriet Tubman; Jackie Robinson; Martin Luther King, Jr.; Toni Morrison; John Lewis; Oprah Winfrey; Michael Jordan; Condoleezza Rice; and Barack Obama might be surprised to learn that hard work and rational thinking are somehow alien to black culture.
A 2020 National Association of Colleges and Employers poll found that four in five employers expected job applicants to exhibit a strong work ethic, the ability to work in a team, and analytical thinking skills. If one asks parents — of any race — what values they want their kids to learn, more than four out of five will similarly name concepts like “hard work,” “being well-mannered,” and “being responsible.” In fact, black parents are one to three percent more likely than white parents to think traits like “hard work,” “being well-mannered,” and “persistence” are “important to teach children.”
The fact that this is even a thing (hard work and self-reliance is racist) simply PROVES how far gone from American values the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party is..
Go ahead.. Someone defend this.. I double dog dare ya!!!
Bonus points if it's someone who actually has more than 2 brain cells to rub together..
Russ, MC, Vick, JFC, Blathy...
That leaves ya'all out...
Liz,
I think Biden needs to beat Trump bigly - very, very bigly.
Otherwise, I just may lose faith in the American people, as a whole. And, that would make me very sad. :(
Then yer gonna be REALLY bad in the dumps when President Trump wipes the floor with old crazy Uncle Joe...
Don't worry.. I'll be here to tell you everything is going to be alright... :D
Not surprisingly given this foundation, the Smithsonian’s chart was rife with dubious claims and questionable assumptions. The idea that Christianity belongs to white culture could come as a surprise to the 72 percent of black Americans who identify as Christian, especially when only 65 percent of white Americans do so. The idea that timeliness and objectivity are the province of white culture would probably come as a surprise to air traffic controllers or cardiovascular surgeons in Cambodia and Cameroon, as it turns out that these traits are crucial to their professional competence and success — whatever the practitioner’s race or culture.
This is the problem with ya'all..
Your beliefs are based on NOTHING but hysterical bullshit and Party slavery...
This is a perfect example..
Christianity is white culture
Even though the FACTs show that more black Americans practice it than white Americans...
Ya'all's ENTIRE belief structure is based on complete and utter BULLSHIT..
And ya'all WALLOW in it every day...
JL,
Lemme ask you...
As a teacher, not as a Democrat..
What's your take on the Smithsonian's position that hard work, self-reliance, being well-mannered, well-spoken, being polite is racist??
Aren't those the kinds of attributes that YOU, as a teacher, would WANT to instill in your charges, white OR black???
I honestly can't believe that you could find ANY redeeming quality in this Smithsonian's position..
But I have been disappointed before..
How do you feel about it??
Just this month, the influential KIPP charter network announced it was abolishing its motto “Work Hard. Be Nice.” as part of its push to “dismantle systemic racism.” As educators rush to act upon the admirable impulse captured by “anti-racism,” the lesson is that they need to be extraordinarily deliberate about what that means in practice.
The utter stoopidity of this SHOULD stand on it's own..
The mere fact that attention has to be brought to this around here is simply indicative of how far off the reservation ya'all have traveled...
I thought ya'all were PRO-science..
Reopening Schools and the Limits of Expertise
These problems, which combine technical expertise and political judgment, are essential to understanding our dilemmas about reopening K-12 schools during the COVID-19 pandemic. Epidemiologists are saying, “Resuming in-person instruction too soon could spread the disease. Although children are at low risk, they will bring it home to parents and grandparents.” Pediatricians, by contrast, say it is important for children’s overall health to get them back in school. Online learning is not very effective, they say, and losing a year’s classroom instruction and socialization will be extremely harmful. Economists focus on different issues, such as parents who cannot return to full-time employment because they must care for children at home. That constraint is especially harmful to one-parent households and low-income, hourly workers, whose children also have less access to computers and fast internet connections. Notice that these experts are not the self-interested voices of interest groups such as teachers’ unions or small businesses. They are specialists in economics, education, and public health. Each has its own “silo of expertise.” Each silo produces a different answer because its experts focus on their own subset of issues and weigh them most heavily.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/07/20/reopening_schools_and_the_limits_of_expertise_143746.html
What it all boils down to is the Democrat/AntiFaBlackLiesMatter Party is more interested in taking down President Trump than they are in the welfare of America's children..
If teachers are willing to take a bullet to save ONE child's life then they should be willing to risk an infection that will make the feel mildly bad for a week or so to save ALL children's mental health and well-being, not to mention ALL children's future..
Because, without a good education, today's children won't HAVE a future...

“I’m not sure how many times it has to be said, but the risk to children from this disease and the fatality is nearly zero. The risk of children for a significant illness is far less from the seasonal flu … This is totally antithetical to the data.”
Dr. Scott Atlas, Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution
Once again, ya'all claim to be about "science"..
The SCIENCE says it's perfectly safe for children to go to school...
The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party is USING children as a political bludgeon..
Despicable.. Completely and utterly despicable...
Biden's Neo-Back-Porch Campaign seems to be working splendidly. Can we skip "TV
Debates" this cycle?
Once again...
It likely comes down to two main hypotheses: children having fewer ACE2 receptor cells in their respiratory tracts (necessary component for coronavirus to enter) and since the severity of COVID-19 seems directly linked to the body’s own immune response, children having a less complex immune system may be protective.
Dr. Nicole Saphier

Can we skip "TV

Of course you want to skip debates.. You KNOW President Trump will wipe the floor with Biden... :D
Let's all get together here for the debates with a bottle of whiskey in front of us..
Every time Joe Biden puts his foot in his mouth, everyone takes a shot..
We'll all be soused within 30 mins.. :D
It's funny.. Biden hides in his basement and ya'all call that "leadership"...
I mean, seriously..
Doesn't it BOTHER ya'all that the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party use America's children in such a crass and political manner??
Epidemiologists are saying, “Resuming in-person instruction too soon could spread the disease. Although children are at low risk, they will bring it home to parents and grandparents.”
Thank you for sharing that michale. The risk is not so much making students sick, the risk is them becoming carriers and killing their families.

After mary trump's book, any other armchair psychological profile on the president will likely be a bit anticlimactic.
More is more.
Thank you for sharing that michale. The risk is not so much making students sick, the risk is them becoming carriers and killing their families.
And the risk is STILL minimal...
I bet ya a million quatloos that parents of those children are willing to accept the risk so their children can get a good education..
After mary trump's book, any other armchair psychological profile on the president will likely be a bit anticlimactic.
So some bimbo who is jealous of President Trump's success spews bullshit about him..

Facts to support???
You quote the part of the link that supports your agenda and ignore the part of the link....
Pediatricians, by contrast, say it is important for children’s overall health to get them back in school. Online learning is not very effective, they say, and losing a year’s classroom instruction and socialization will be extremely harmful.
... that decimates your agenda..
Why do you want to harm children by denying them an education?? :D
My "agenda" is to do whatever is best for the children...
And since, by and large, Democrats don't HAVE kids and don't LIKE kids... (present company excepted, of course.. :D )
They don't get a say....
It's an undeniable fact that the BEST move for the children is to open the schools..
The fact that it's ALSO beneficial for the US Economy is simply an added bonus..
And it's THAT bonus that is the reason why the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party wants to harm America's kids..

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. Season Two of Housewives of Coronavirus debuts at 5 PM Eastern. Will Dr Fauci, the character who inexplicably went away near the end of Season One, resurface? Will Dr Birx sink deeper into the darkness?
Didn't the "wet one" insist multiple times that the virus would disappear in the heat? Yet here it comes back for the second sizzling sweaty season.
The orange swamp thing is promising to discuss the virus and “perhaps some other things.” I'll bet he doesn't talk about Putin killing US heroes.
Maybe he'll talk about how wearing a mask is "idiotic." Oh, wait... I am being told that wearing a mask in Season Two will be "patriotic."
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1285299379746811915
Well, this is an "about face" that is surely going to surprise the troops... a total pivot that will surely confuse the fans of the "orange swamp thing" (props). I mean, if wearing a mask is patriotic, that means Uncle Joe is the leader because he's been doing that since Day One of Season One!
Who knows, maybe before the end Season Two, the orange swamp thing will listen to the scientists some more and follow the CDC guidelines for reopening of... all kinds of things like Red States and even maybe Blue States and... dare we hope... maybe even schools!
Will he be capable of putting America first?
It couldn't hurt the shitty ratings.

Basically, what the Sheriff is saying that Democrats and their Defund/Abolish Police platform is a pain in the ass...
Will Teachers’ Unions Reelect Trump?
The science says it’s safe to reopen PK-12 yet the unions insist on holding the children hostage.
https://spectator.org/will-teachers-unions-reelect-trump/
That's the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party for ya..
Hostage takers..
Now they are taking children hostage..
Scumbags.. Pure, unadulterated scumbags..
Of course, the silver lining is that their actions ensure a President Trump victory in 105 days.. :D
And, since ya'all like polls so much.. :D
During the next six weeks the nation’s 51 million public school students, with the assistance of their parents, would normally be preparing for the next phase of their education. This year, despite the absence of scientific data indicating that a return to in-person class attendance increases the risk that students or educators will contract COVID-19, the teachers’ unions are resisting school reopening. This flouts the will of parents whose taxes pay the teachers, disregards the failure of large-scale distance learning, and ignores the emotional damage children suffer pursuant to the social disruption that accompanies school closures. According to a recent Gallup survey, a clear majority of parents want schools reopened:
Fifty-six percent of parents with children who attend a K-12 school prefer their children’s instruction be fully in person this fall. Meanwhile, 37% prefer a hybrid program in which students attend school part time and do some distance learning, while 7% want full-time distance learning for their children.
Only 7% want schools to stay closed..
And yet, THAT is exactly the position of the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party.. To keep schools closed..
By all means.. Guarantee a President Trump landslide re-election... :D
It's actually somewhat hilarious..
There is not a SINGLE current Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party platform that has ANY support from the American people..
Defund/Abolish Police..
Reparations..
Tearing down American culture..
Violence and anarchy in the streets..
Cop killings...
NONE of it has *ANY* support from sane patriotic Americans with more than 2 brain cells to rub together...

Heh!
You know that Trump’s position would change real quickly if he believed there was a chance that they’d name one for him!
I'm laughing... but ain't that a sad fact!?
Trump would sign anything they wanted if it would get him a Nobel Prize -- an award and money -- the perfect "carrot" to dangle in front of him.
JL,
You spoke of epidemiologists before??
OK, let's listen to them...
This nonsense has been repeatedly debunked by epidemiologists such as John Ioannidis of Stanford University and Knut M. Wittkowski of Rockefeller University. Moreover, as Liz Harrington at Townhall reports, “Twenty-two European countries reopened their schools back in May, and it did not cause ‘any significant increase in coronavirus infections among children, parents, or staff.’ ” Scientific studies have been conducted in Germany, Ireland, and France that independently reached the same conclusion. The fear-mongering by teachers’ unions and Biden is about politics rather than science, as Dr. Scott Atlas of the Hoover Institution recently reiterated in an interview with KUSI News:
We know it’s factually true and proven all over the world that people under 18 have very little, if any, risk.… The data is clear. Whether it’s from Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Spain, the United States, Asia, all over the world.… Children almost never transmit the disease. In fact, Switzerland is contemplating stopping even testing children because it’s irrelevant.
So, the SCIENCE is clear...
Anyone who wants schools to stay closed does NOT have the children's best interests OR the parent's best interests at heart..
All they have is a Party agenda that specifically HURTS American children and their parents..
Anyone who supports keeping schools closed ought to be ashamed of themselves..
The science is clear and conclusive...
The fear-mongering by teachers’ unions and Biden is about politics rather than science
EXACTLY....
The only real question that remains is the following: Why do teachers’ unions and Democratic politicians believe keeping schools closed is a winning issue for them? Presumably they think that, if the schools remain shuttered, millions of parents will be unable to return to work pursuant to the absence of child care. This would, according to the scenario, prevent the economy from recovering — a failure the Democrats hope voters will blame on President Trump. The problem with this plan is their assumption that the electorate is largely made up of morons, particularly Trump supporters. This is the same mistake the Democrats have been making about the voters since June 2015.
They assume that, when UTLA members refuse to return to work until the police force is defunded and charter schools are shut down, the voters can’t see that their actual agenda is unrelated to student safety. They really seem to believe that, when members of the Durham (N.C.) Association of Educators (DAE) decline to resume classroom teaching until Medicare for All and welfare benefits for illegal immigrants are enacted, the voters are unable to see that their goals are political rather than educational. They would have us believe that a lawsuit filed by the Florida Education Association (FEA) against GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis actually involves the state constitution’s safety requirements.
None of this passes the laugh test. There is no scientific data supporting the claims of teachers’ unions or Democrats, including former Vice President Joe Biden, that a return to in-person instruction increases the risk that students or educators will contract COVID-19. All of their sound and fury is about the November election, and it signifies nothing but partisan politics. Only 7 percent of parents want schools to remain closed. The other 93 percent want the “educators” to get off their posteriors and do their jobs. If they refuse to do so, and the Democrats support their intransigence, it will create a wave of resentment among the voters that President Trump will easily ride to a second term in the White House.
Ya'all's Party slavery agenda is as pathetic as it is obvious...
All of this is about one thing and one thing only.. Stopping President Trump from being re-elected.. And ya'all don't even care how bad it hurts the children...
What's ironic is that these very actions will cause they very thing ya'all think it will prevent..
When Americans go into the voting booth in 105, they will remember which Party it was that actively sought to harm America's children...
And they ALL will vote accordingly...
The FACTS are clear... The SCIENCE is clear...
Opening the schools will cause no harm...
My apologies to everyone. I need to make a small correction to my post [129]

“Any plan requires finances and resources. I don’t have what I need to keep our community safe”
At this point, it should have said:
Too bad he can't ask the lazy knuckle-draggers of his county to pay because they won't go back to work due to Nancy's fat welfare payments and it's a well documented FACT that the orange one is going to stiff him for the bill. Sad.

Stig,
During the Wallace interview Trump challenged himself with a memory:cognition:brass balls test by claiming that Biden had signed a pact with Bernie Sanders to defund police. Wallace called bull shit. A quick document check (by White House staff) indicated - on air mind you - that Trump had failed a real world cognition test of his own making: namely don't lie on air and then fact check yourself. That's the polite way of putting it.
Actually, as usual, you are full of shit...

The difference being, of course, not wearing a mask does not infringe on anyone else's freedoms.
The individuals walking down the streets are walking to or from criminal activity up to and including killing cops..
The fact that you defend cop-killers is not surprising to me at all..

EXCLUSIVE: Joe Biden's head of strategic communications, Kamau M. Marshall, has repeatedly posted sexist messages on social media over the past decade, beginning with a Christmas Eve 2011 tweet in which he expressed his affection for "power women" – as long as she "know[s] her place" and he can "where [sic] the pants."
The social media posts are the latest example of a top Biden staffer undercutting the former vice president's public messaging. On Friday, Fox News reported that a supervising videographer on the campaign openly called for defunding the police and tweeted a meme mocking officers as worse than "pigs" – even as Biden says he only wants some money "redirected" from police departments.
However, Marshall's posts are from a senior campaign official – and appear to be part of a long-running pattern.
This guy speaks for Joe Biden..
Surprising???
Not in the LEAST....
Better jump on this Joe... Get out of your basement and show some leadership... :eyeroll:

So, this sexist douche-bag that works and speaks for Biden doesn't bother you at all???
Double-standard much???
Here are some examples from the Joe Biden campaign..
"Nice guys finish last because they make sure their girl comes first."
"Are all women crazy???? Lol no offense ijs [I'm just saying]."
"It's unattractive when a girl doesn't act classy & does not know how to control her feelings."

So which is it?
Most Trump supporters fail out by 10th grade, based on the audiences at his rallies, so it seems comical that they are suddenly so concerned about education. And I hope everyone realizes that Trump only wants schools to start back so that he can restart his rallies! Right now, states are not allowing large crowds to congregate because of the pandemic, but if they reopen schools they will likely allow his rallies to start back up. Trump cannot stand not being worshipped by his adoring crowds!
