Trump's Fauci Envy
President Donald Trump just finished giving a press briefing, ostensibly about the coronavirus pandemic, and in the short question period that followed, gave the most pathetic "poor me" performance I've ever seen a president give. Why, Trump mused, is Dr. Anthony Fauci so gosh-darned popular, and why am I not? That sounds like an oversimplification or snarky version of what the president said, but it's really not. If anything, it's an understatement. I don't have the actual transcript yet, so I can't reproduce Trump's actual phrasing. But I will certainly be seeking it out later today, because it truly was the most whiny display of envy ever seen from a presidential podium.
There may be other news from the press conference -- Trump also answered questions about DACA and his upcoming convention speech and other normal issues, but of course he veered off on a couple of others. When asked why the pharmaceutical industry leaders had refused to meet with him today, Trump was mystified that such a meeting had ever been planned, and seemed to think it might happen later in the week. So much for Joe Biden "not being all there" -- this was Trump's one big meeting of the day, and apparently he had already forgotten it was supposed to take place. He also -- once again -- touted hydroxychloroquine as the magical drug that would save everyone, in response to a question as to why he had promoted a social media video by a doctor who has some other (shall we say) strange notions. Such as: we already have a cure for the coronavirus, and nobody needs to wear masks. Trump was directly asked why he was retweeting a woman who also has spoken out about "alien D.N.A.," which may be the clip we seen on the late-night shows (for sheer entertainment value alone).
But the question that struck me was about why Trump had -- once again -- viciously attacked Dr. Fauci on Twitter by essentially calling him a liar. Fauci had to -- once again -- rebut such nonsense this morning, saying he has "never misled the American people" about anything. In another bout of forgetfulness (or just outright denial), Trump refused to even admit that he had sent the tweet. He said he worked well with Fauci and listened closely to his advice. It was Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde time, in other words -- "Tweet? What tweet? I love Fauci, we get along great!"
But this is where Trump said the part out loud that he really should have kept in his head, because it was so revealing. Trump admitted that Fauci had "very high approval ratings" with the public, which is something Trump desperately wants but has never gotten. In his entire time in office, Trump has never once cracked 50 percent job approval in his polling average. Fauci's approval, meanwhile, is through the roof. Which Trump pointed out, several times.
Trump then turned the whole thing back to his favorite subject: himself. "I don't know why Fauci is so popular when I'm not," Trump complained (again, those are pretty close to the actual words he used, but possibly not verbatim). "You'd think because he works for me that I'd be that popular too. He works for me, for my administration. I guess it's because of my personality. People don't like me, but they love Dr. Fauci." Again, until I get a transcript, that's as close as memory can get me. It was the equivalent of Charlie Brown getting a rock instead of candy on Hallowe'en, at least from Trump's point of view.
Of course, there are several easy answers to Trump's question about why Fauci is popular when Trump is not. Fauci has been telling Americans the truth from Day One. Trump has not. Fauci honestly tells people what the science says. Trump rejects any science he doesn't personally like (such as the proof that hydroxychloroquine is totally ineffective against the coronavirus). Fauci tells people bad news, and he tells it to them straight. Trump blows sunshine up everyone's skirt. Fauci is, in a word, trustworthy -- something no one will ever accuse Trump of being.
To Trump, being more popular than him is the ultimate sin, really. Trump is actually fearful of people who are more popular than him. The best evidence of this is the fact that Dr. Fauci still has his job. Trump is afraid to fire him, plain and simple (which is a good thing for the country, obviously). Trump knows the political blowback would be fierce indeed if he kicked Fauci out.
The Washington Post reported today on Trump's previous press conference, which happened last Thursday. In it, Trump -- out of nowhere -- announced that he would be throwing out the first pitch at a Yankees game on August 15. The reason he did so? He was petulant because Dr. Fauci had been invited to throw out the first pitch of the Major League Baseball season by the Washington Nationals later that same day. So without even informing the Yankees, Trump decided he wanted to toss out a first pitch, too. Another measure of how out of the blue this was: because Trump had to then announce he would not be throwing out the first pitch at a Yankees game (he was "too busy" to do so, according to him), he may become the first president in 100 years not to have ever thrown out a first pitch at any baseball game while in office. He has previously attended a World Series Nationals game, where the crowd loudly booed him (but he didn't throw out the first pitch). Maybe he thought that without any fans in the stadium, he could get away with a first pitch at a Yankees game?
That is some world-class petulance, folks. "Fauci gets to throw out a pitch, so I WANNA DO SO TOO! WAAAAAH!!!" But last week, I don't believe Trump even mentioned Fauci when announcing his upcoming first Yankees pitch. In other words, he kept that part in his head rather than saying it out loud.
Today, we got a more unvarnished peek into Trump's Fauci envy. Maybe it was because Topps just put out an actual baseball card of Fauci and it broke all their sales records in a single day? Trump's right -- the public has already made up their minds about Fauci and Trump. Fauci's approval rating is north of 60 percent. Trump's, on the coronavirus, is in the mid-30s and still falling. In other words, Trump has every reason in the world to envy how the public sees Dr. Fauci. But it was still surprising to hear him admit it so plainly out loud.
Addendum:
While editing this, I did find an Axios article which directly quoted the president. Rather than go back and re-edit the whole middle of this article, I'm just going to append it here (as you can see, it's pretty close to what I remembered). Here are Trump's own words, talking about Fauci's popularity:
He's got a very good approval rating. I like that, it's good. Because remember, he's working for this administration. He's working with us.... And he's got this high approval rating. So why don't I have a high approval rating with respect -- and the administration, with respect to the virus? We should have a very high -- because what we have done in terms of -- we're just reading off about the masks and the gowns and the ventilators and numbers that nobody's seen. So it sort of is curious. A man works for us, with us, very closely, Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx, very highly thought of. And yet they're highly thought of, but nobody likes me. It can only be my personality.

I saw that press briefing and it was quite revealing. The president really doesn't understand why he isn't as popular as Dr. Fauci.
Wait just a second!
Fauci's approval is north of 60 percent? Meaning it's less than 65 percent?
So, a third of your country has an unfavourable opinion of Dr. Fauci, the leading infectious diseases scientist in the nation during a pandemic???
Well then, clearly, the dismal response to Covid-19 in your country cannot all be blamed on president Trump, not by a long shot!
LizM -
Yeah, but Trump's coronavirus rating is, according to two recent polls, either 32 or 36 percent. That's the context. The more-rabid pro-Trump internet has been absolutely demonizing Fauci for months, if you hadn't heard -- that's why his rating isn't 85 or 90 percent, where it should be. Go to Twitter and type in "#Fauci" and see the suggested hashtags that pop up to see what I'm talking about...
-CW
60 is less than 65. This is America. Some of them don't even know who Fauci is.
They usually like diseases right around now.
For the 2014 elections, the Republicons tried to gin up a panic about Ebola-infected jihadis from Pakistan sneaking across the US-Mexican border completely undetected and heading for Oshkosh and Youngstown to blow up the Barrel of Crackers. In 2016, it was a moral panic about humans w/o penises with blood coming out of their whatevers. 2018 was all about the Invasion of the Little Kids who would infest your community with Zika and speak Mexican right in front of you.
I do wonder what the GOP would tell us to fear if Country Club Orange wasn’t directing this episode. As it is, they’ll just have to work with baby-eating Satanic fascist Black anarchists who will take over a city block and graffiti your confederate traitor statues until America surrenders to carnage worse than The Donald has already inflicted. The graffiti is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. I heard that the boogaloos were planning false flag graffiti operations to start a race war. It’s really not icky or contagious enough to be very convincing even to middle school grads, but it’ll be tough to smear them with a disease while the GOP intentionally spreads Trump Virus around from the White House to Tulsa and Phoenix.
Sad.
I didn't realize that Drumpf was self-aware enough to realize that nobody likes him. The cognitive dissonance must be excruciating.

Chris, my point was that Trump isn't your only problem. Add your society and culture to the list, as you already know.
North of sixty mean less than 65. Ahem.

I was a little surprised at this self-realization too. But I think it's been hammered into Trump for the past two weeks: "Dude, you are LOSING... you ARE GOING TO LOSE unless you change course NOW... go out there, read the script, and when we signal you to leave, then LEAVE."
I think Trump got his nose rubbed in some very bad polling from his own team, in other words.
Maybe he'll sue his pollster again for telling him numbers he didn't like...
Heh.

Chris,
I really don't know who I even want Biden to pick. I know I have no business even guessing who he'll pick. Frankly, I think it could be someone few, including not me, have heard much about. I don't think a well-known name is necessary.
Competence and experience far outweigh any name recognition. People will get to know the VP very well as Biden will pick someone to whom he can delegate with abandon. In other words, his vice president will act as he did with Obama.
One thing is for sure - there is no one on the planet better qualified to make this pick than Biden. And, that can't be said of all presidential nominees.
It is my opinion that both Warren and Harris ruined any chance they may have had by their own actions, whether during the primaries or after Biden became the de facto Democratic nominee. Though, it's doubtful either would have been in the running, really, anyway.
I'm more interested in who he will announce as his Secretary of State. William Burns would be a good one and I'd just LOVE LOVE LOVE to see John Kerry take those reins again. A very steady and familiar hand is needed at State.
I have a veritable treasure trove of Obama stuff! :)
And, I've got a Biden For President pin!!!

CW: He also -- once again -- touted hydroxychloroquine as the magical drug that would save everyone, in response to a question as to why he had promoted a social media video by a doctor who has some other (shall we say) strange notions.
I know, right!? A "miracle cure" for America, which is nothing but misinformation brought to you by the POTUS, no less. This nut job that Trump retweeted says that doctors make medicine using DNA from aliens, cysts are evil deposits from the spirit husband, and she believes in "demon sperm."
Report: Texas doctor who went viral with unproven COVID-19 cure believes in 'demon sperm'
I wonder if this "demon sperm" glows orange.
This crap is not just harmless fantasy, it is dangerous misinformation that is killing Americans... being retweeted by the President of the United States.
Now, I would wager without hesitation that the majority here can think of a much better "miracle cure" for America that actually does involve Donald Trump... so y'all make sure you are registered to vote. Your life or the life of your loved ones may very well depend on it.

Wait, what!? You think Joe Biden would hold a grudge against Kamala Harris over a silly dang debate? I don't think so!
I was very nice a gave you the dang list from whom he should choose over a year ago! Even before he became the presumptive nominee and even before he said he would select a woman as his VP running mate!

Sheeeeeeeeeeesh! ;) Heh.
Y'all know Kamala Harris is an even better choice now because the Trumpropaganda is that Democrats are lawless, right? If it isn't Harris or Warren, then it needs to be Val Demmings... and for that very reason. Plus Florida, of course.
One of the keys to the election runs through Florida. Count on it! :)
You speculated on why Fauci has substantially higher public approval than the president:
"Of course, there are several easy answers to Trump's question about why Fauci is popular when Trump is not. Fauci has been telling Americans the truth from Day One. Trump has not. Fauci honestly tells people what the science says. Trump rejects any science he doesn't personally like (such as the proof that hydroxychloroquine is totally ineffective against the coronavirus). Fauci tells people bad news, and he tells it to them straight. Trump blows sunshine up everyone's skirt. Fauci is, in a word, trustworthy -- something no one will ever accuse Trump of being."
All true, as far as it goes. But even more than trustworthy and honest, Fauci comes across as human. He clearly cares about the public health of the American people, and is clearly heartbroken about the sickness and death he has been unable to prevent or minimize - which is his job description.
The president is the opposite, and everyone but his so-called base gets it, and has gotten it since early 2016: he is not human. He has no empathy, no ability to feel another person's pain. Of course we mock people, like Bill Clinton, who manage to make that into a joke. But on at least a subliminal level, most people instinctively react to other people's pain: sympathy, pity, an impulse to make it better or at least say soothing things. Not this president - and it comes through in everything he says.
Yes, it's his "personality" that causes his unpopularity compared to all previous presidents, as he so vapidly concludes. But he actually has no idea of what his personality is, because he doesn't understand that a personality doesn't just make you a person, it makes other people into persons as well because ... well, because they also have personalities.
Finally, although another 'Trump can't talk' article is possibly amusing, I think it's best not to present it as news. What's news, to me, is that the media still report his statements in summary form, or interpreted to make sense where sense is lacking, or as if he somehow comically or curiously failed to make sense today unlike his usual well-phrased and cogent speeches.
I continue to hope, no doubt in vain, that the media - including you, no offense intended - will start to literally ignore his speeches as a perpetual combination of lies and dementia, and only pay attention to actual policy announcements from the executive branch.

You sure about that? Donny sure seemed fascinated with her, and little Donny Junior as well.

Ah, ha! That right there explains both of the Donny's fascination with her!

...by a doctor who has some other (shall we say) strange notions.
Those strange notions are all well and good but another article covering this mentioned: the harmful effects of having sexual relations with demons and witches while dreaming.
I need to know more about this! Asking for a friend, of course...
So Donald ducks out of his latest press confeffy after only 5 minutes on air - after a sharp reporter reveals his hydroxychloroquine "experts" are in fact very wacky quacks. As the old saying goes, if it ducks like a quack, it's a quack.

The trouble with this is that because,
(1) Trump is President so no matter how ludicrous his tweets and ad libs are they are still noteworthy.
(2) Millions of (misguided) Americans take Trump's word as the gospel truth. Trump also has some support among Independents. For the rest of us to defeat Trump & his GOP enablers we have to know what they're hearing & thinking. "Know your enemy," said some guy named Sun Tzu back in the day.
Yes, action talks and baloney walks. Trump's actions are far more important than his words. But no matter what he's still president until noon January 20th.
My problem with MSM is they so often strive to present "both sides" even when one side is saying complete carp! (Not a typo, hats off to Michale for giving me "carp.")

Nope, sorry. I was just as surprised as everyone else when Palin was announced. Speaking of research, when she was announced, I immediately checked her out on Wikipedia. And saw an actual Wikiwar happen, as her info was changed radically over the next 24 hours or so. There was the whole rumor that her daughter's baby was hers, and then it just wasn't there (hey presto!) only to return in slightly different form a few hours later.
But I had to look her up just like everyone else did...

John M from Ct. [37] -
I hear you about not writing about Trumptalk. But I have two things to say about that.
(1) Hey, I waited as long as I could. I've been watching his dog-n-pony show ever since Season Two started (last week), mostly because it is very convenient for me. They last only a half-hour, and they air RIGHT before I sit down to write that day's column (about 2:30 PM, my time). So I watch his rambling, and so far have refrained upon commenting on it.
(2)But I just knew the demon/alien DNA lady was going to be a bigger story, so I wanted to draw attention to what I considered to be one of the weakest and most pathetic performances of any president, ever. Seriously... he's jealous over Fauci's approval rating? Wow.
As to your larger point, you are dead on accurate. I have been saying for awhile now that if Trump had shown the slightest bit of empathy during this crisis, he'd be in a LOT better shape right now. I'd be worried for Biden, in fact. But he was incapable of doing so -- he NEVER mentions the families of the dead, for instance -- and so it truly has been "Trump's Katrina." Except that Katrina was over and done within a few weeks (except the long aftermath, but the media had mostly lost interest by then), and COVID-19 is the crisis that just keeps on going....
Biden is going to win this because he is human, and he obviously does care. That's exactly what people are looking for right now, and it's why he's doing so well in the polls.
Roughly a month or two ago, I started using the word "sociopath" to describe Trump, because I think it is entirely fitting. He literally cannot understand that other people actually have feelings of empathy, because the idea is so foreign to him. He doesn't care, so he assumes no one else does either. Sad.

The lunacy of the ‘largely peaceful protest’
The media says one thing while also saying the opposite
The great conundrum facing the anti-American left at the moment is how to react to the violent protest ripping up various Democratic-run cities. What is the preferred narrative? The two main choices are 1) it’s all peaceful protest, the ‘right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances’? or 2) let ’er rip: we’re out there destroying stuff and hurting people because the country’s falling apart and the sooner the better.

Weren't you the one who said Eliot Spitzer was destined for political stardom?? :D
DESTINED FOR STARDOM
Eliot Spitzer. All eyes are currently on Barack Obama, but Eliot Spitzer may wind up being the one to watch. He just won a landslide (69%) victory in his campaign for New York governor, and many suspect he has set his sights even higher. He would likely annoy New Yorkers by jumping into the presidential ring in 2008 (after only serving one year of his term), but if the other frontrunners are damaged early, he may decide to jump in late in the campaign. Safer money is on him running in the future (2012 or 2016). But he is definitely a Democrat to watch in the future.

But not in the way you meant... :D

As you mention, the ONLY thing Biden has going for him are polls...
Take away the polls (that are PROVEN to be completely useless where President Trump is concerned) and there is simply NO CAUSE to believe that Basement Biden is going to do anything but go down in flames..

MSNBC reporting on the "peaceful" protests.. In his own words, "A protest that is not, generally speaking, unruly"
Of course, the FACT that he is saying that in front of a burning police station, set fire by "peaceful" protesters kinda belays his claim that it is not "generally speaking, unruly"...
This is the problem ya'all's Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party faces..
The complete and total incongruity between what ya'all are saying (and NOT saying) and the facts on the ground...
Given all these FACTS, I find it astounding that ya'all can say "BIDEN IS GOING TO WIN" with a straight face.. :D
Oh sure, there are the smart ones (like me.. :D) who realize that President Trump is going to glide to re-election.. But they are few here...
Further, since it's established that the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLies Matter Party cares more for torturing toddlers and killing cops and looting and burning and rioting and destroying then they care about the pandemic..
It stands to rational and logical reasoning that sane patriotic Americans will ALSO care more about OPPOSING the torturing toddlers and killing cops and looting and burning and rioting and destroying then they care about the pandemic..
The logic is impeccable and unassailable...
But hay.. I am a fair guy...
Point to me ANYTHING besides polling that favors the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party...
Anything at all.. :D
Let me amend that to say
Point to me ANYTHING *RELEVANT* besides polling that favors the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party...
‘Democrats and local leaders reiterated on Monday, that protests have been largely peaceful, and harshly criticized the federal forces, which have shot and seriously injured one peaceful protester and shoved others into unmarked vans.’
-WaPoop
So, the "largely peaceful" protesters are besieged by "federal forces"...

Once again, the total dissonance between what ya'all are saying and condoning and what is actually happening on the ground is mind-boggling..
And even more astounding is that ya'all believe that the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party can PREVAIL...
There is simply NO RHYME NOR REASON to ya'all's belief that sane patriotic Americans will actually VOTE for more toddler torture, cop killings, looting, rioting, burning and destroying ...
The fact that ya'all (NEN) believe this is.... well, it just blows me away...
EM: I'd like to know, as a serious question, why you feel Warren or Harris would not be good VP picks? Do you think they would hurt Biden's candidacy (and why), or do you think there are more intrinsic reasons why either would not make a good VP (and why again)?
And, of course, we have this little gem from ABC...
Oakland protesters set fire to courthouse and vandalize
https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/courthouse-set-fire-protest-california-71992914?cid=social_twitter_abcn
Once again, "peaceful" protesters smashed windows at an Oakland courthouse.. Threw molotov cocktails and pointed lasers at police..
Yes, that's right.. Lasers.. Many police officers have been permanently BLINDED by stolen commercial grade lasers..
Then ABC really pulls out all semblance of reality and reported that the "peaceful protest intensified"...
Get that?? I wasn't aware that there were different intensity levels when it comes to being peaceful.. Whaa?? Did protesters really get into being peaceful and assumed the lotus position??
"It became even more intensely peaceful. If ABC News covered Pearl Harbor: 'Honolulu, Dec. 7, 1941: A peaceful flyover by Japanese pilots intensified yesterday..'..."
How the hell do you "intensify" being peaceful??
Unless of course, you weren't really being peaceful in the first place...

Gowdy challenges Nadler to tell NYC murder victims' families 'that the violence is manufactured'
https://www.foxnews.com/media/trey-gowdy-nadler-nyc-violence-barr-hearing
Eerily reminiscent of my discussion with JL a couple days ago where it was mentioned that the hundreds of innocent people and cops dead were not really relevant or significant or words to that effect..
It's funny how ya'all can get so up in arms over the death of a SINGLE scumbag whose removal from this plane was a GOOD thing for society..
And be totally blase about toddlers being tortured and cops and innocent people being killed by the hundreds at the hands of the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party...
Again.. MIND BOGGLING is the ONLY way to describe it...
"What I wish Nadler would do is go find all the homicide victims and their family members in New York, go find the parents of that one-year-old who got killed and tell them that the violence is manufactured. Go find all the homicide victims, Jerry, in your own backyard and tell them that the violence is manufactured."

But those aren't excerpts from the House hearing, Mike. What they are is the copy and pasted opinion of Michael Goodwin, Fox News contributor and New York Post columnist, with your fictional invented names of a Party that doesn't exist on this planet and your repetitive gibes wherein you insult people via usage of the contraction "ya'all."
And for those who claim that ZERO people have lost their lives because of Black Lies Matter??

“YOU MIGHT SEE PEOPLE DIGGING IN”: CAN JOE BIDEN ACTUALLY SWAY OBAMA–TRUMP VOTERS?
In Pennsylvania, Joe Biden is hoping to peel off just enough white, working-class voters in crucial counties to edge out the president. But the women here—waitresses, churchgoers, bingo players, lifelong Democrats—show no signs of budging, pandemic be damned. “I am 110% Trump,” says one. “I love him.”

Even Left Wing rag Vanity Fair concedes the facts..
Women don't like the Party that supports torturing of toddlers, cop killings, rioting, looting, burning, killing...
Again, take away the PROVEN BS polls and what is the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party left with??
Nothing.. Zilch.. Zero... Nada....
And note that supporting President Trump and America is more important to sane patriotic Americans.. Even more important than the pandemic..
Democrats are going to get creamed in 98 days..

The entire political world, in turn, has been focused on these women and the numbers—and potential power—they represent. The bingo players are part of the white working class, a prized group that helped elect Donald Trump in 2016. Many are Democrats who supported Barack Obama in one or both of his races and had never pulled the GOP lever before. To Republicans they represent the path to the president’s reelection. To Democrats they personify opportunity, a chance to siphon off just enough Trump votes in swing states to remove him from office. “I don’t need to win them,” said Democratic pollster Jill Normington. “I need to lose by less.”
Ever since Trump pulled off upset victories in the former Democratic strongholds of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, both parties have viewed white women without college degrees as pivotal 2020 voters. White, working-class women and men are the nation’s largest bloc of voters, especially here in the Rust Belt, and women are considered more likely to reject Trump this time around. Polls bear this out, showing that the men in this group remain overwhelmingly behind the president, while many of the women are having second thoughts. Democrats hope that just as suburban women outside cities like Philadelphia, about two hours south of Wilkes-Barre, turned on Republicans in 2018, white, working-class women will follow suit this year.
WATCH NOW:
RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 5 Cast Teaches You Drag Slang
But the bingo players at St. Andrew and their counterparts in their key region of Pennsylvania may be unexpectedly resistant. In this historically Democratic bastion, where coal once ruled and black-and-white photos of JFK still adorn walls, women who voted for Trump show few signs of wavering. They applaud his brusque demeanor, or they don’t. They support his right-wing policies, or they don’t. It doesn’t matter. They think Democrats have persecuted him without justification, believe he’s doing everything possible to combat COVID-19, and generally support his “law-and-order” response to what are likely the most pervasive protests in U.S. history. They have faith that he has the business acumen to reinvigorate the economy. Mainly, they have faith in him.
Again... FACTS....
While the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party chase the laughable goal of winning in Texas, President Trump's support in "safe" Democrat/AntiFaBlackLiesMatter strongholds is holding strong..
Given the fact that ya'all ONLY have polls to point to, the results of the election in 98 days is pre-ordained.. :D
For those who think that all the toddler torturing, cop killings, looting, rioting and destruction doesn't enter into the voting picture at all??
Yer in for a huge shock come election day...
But, have no fear... I'll be here to help ya'all thru it.. :D
That's the thing ya'all simply do not get about President Trump..
People may not like what he does and says...
But they *LOVE* what he is doing for this country..
And the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party is playing RIGHT INTO President Trump's hands by supporting the torture of toddlers, the killing of cops, the riots and the burning and the looting and the destroying...
The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party ignores all those things..
And by remaining silent about them or even actively DEFENDING them as "peaceful protests", they are showing every sane patriotic American what their Party is all about..
And Americans will voice their displeasure about what their Party is all about in 98 days..
And ya'all won't like what the American people say... :D
This is fact... :D

Whatever you have to tell yerself.. :D
Nice projection, Mike... fits so very nicely with your monotonous insults toward the group... who are also not political issues. :)
Mezzomamma,
I'd like to know, as a serious question, why you feel Warren or Harris would not be good VP picks? Do you think they would hurt Biden's candidacy (and why), or do you think there are more intrinsic reasons why either would not make a good VP (and why again)?
Well, let me say that should Biden choose either one of them, I will be very surprised. Not because I think Biden holds a grudge but, I certainly do. I just do. I'll be equally surprised if they end up in a Biden cabinet. Although, I think a great place for Senator Warren would be heading up the CFPB. And, I mean that sincerely.
Senator Harris blew all hope for a cabinet position when she so disingenuously and crassly politically went after Biden on race, especially when her position on bussing was the same as his. I'll never forgive her for that. NEVER!
I feel that neither would be a good pick for two reasons. Number one, Biden is looking for someone who is 'sympatico' with him on all issues - especially on tax and fiscal policy - as a matter of principle and who won't be duplicitous depending on political winds. The primaries were quite revealing on this.
And, number two, he wants someone who shares his worldview and who understands, intimately, all of the hard work that will be required to restore America's global leadership role. I think his pick will have strong national security and foreign policy views that match his own. This ain't 2008, though, when Obama needed Biden's foreign policy chops on the ticket to compensate for his own paucity of experience on this front, despite the wonderful foreign policy speeches in foreign lands. Heh.
I don't think either one of them would hurt his candidacy or his chances of beating Trump. But, having just wrote that, I disagree! I think Warren would definitely hurt his chances for being elected president. In fact, I would go so far to say that she would doom his candidacy from the moment of the announcement. Warren didn't even have the support of Democrats, let alone Republicans who are itching to vote against Trump.
Again, I think Biden is the first presidential candidate in a very long time, if not ever, who is THE best qualified, bar none, to make this decision. If only for the fact that he knows, personally, more qualified women than all of us put together! I won't be surprised if he picks someone who he trusts instinctively but who is relatively unknown to the rest of us
EM: Thanks for answering in a straightforward way. We'll agree to differ on this, I hope. It's encouraging that there are a number of women who are qualified, in different ways, to be VP or to serve on a cabinet. Choosing someone not only qualified but still young enough be a strong presidential candidate after serving as VP is likely to be another consideration, don't you think?
Oh, yes, most definitely. I think Biden takes the long view, as a general modus operandi. So, he will pick someone who he believes is presidential material, now!
We won't have to wait long - apparently, Biden has said that he will make the vp announcement during the first week in August. Truth be known, I can't wait!

Get with the program, EM! ;) Just kidding. Your post was great, and I was serious about voting for Joe and a ham sandwich... or pie. :)
I don't care who he picks... except for the exception I would love to see him choose a surprise pick of Michelle Obama... but people who supposedly "know these things" have insisted MO wouldn't do it.
Your monotonous insults toward this group via your standard usage of the contraction "ya'all" qualify as your opinion but not as "facts,"
If you feel that my pointing out ya'all's illogical and irrational support of the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party is "insulting" then perhaps you realize that supporting the torture of toddlers, the killing of cops, the rioting, the looting, the destroying is wrong and you don't want to be associated with supporting such brutal and oppressive actions..

Your admitted insults posted in repetitive fashion alongside your invented Party names and insults toward this forum group haven't hit their intended mark with me, and I would wager they haven't with anyone else either. None of us here are political issues so the constant hurling of the invectives toward everyone is nothing but repetitive tedium.

Between the lines: There's no clear consensus within the intelligence community about the strength of the evidence that Russia paid the bounties — though that's not the case when it comes to Russia's broader support for the Taliban.
In 2018, Gen. John Nicholson, then the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, accused Russia of providing money and arms to the group, saying, "we know that the Russians are involved."
Trump told “Axios on HBO” that he was not aware of Nicholson’s comments, and said evidence that Russia was aiding the Taliban “never reached my desk.”
Exclusive: Trump never raised Russia's Taliban bounties with Putin
Don,
You can do better than feeble excuses. Or maybe you can't. It's an idea. Discuss the actual idea that you admit is basically sound.

Yet Bernie made major progress in 2016 when compared to what those that said he couldn't do it said he could accomplish.
That was because people wrote articles about Bernie.
Because he was a sitting politician, Don; you're proving CW's point.
Did people wait to write about things like medicare for all until a politician led the way? NO.
Yes, sir, they pretty much did, and that politician was Bernie Sanders. Good point, Don. :)
Don,
CW doesn't care about One Demand? That is not relevant.
I suppose maybe you're unfamiliar with human beings, so I'll help you out. We have a limited amount of time to work with and don't usually waste it on things we don't care about.
Why is my persisting in trying to get CW to address this idea a feeble endless loop?
Because he doesn't care about ODD.

So only politicians who take less than $200 contributions are worthy candidates?

Heh.
They did not write about Bernie because he was a sitting politician. They wrote about him because of the ideas he was proposing.
You are once again making CW's point. I see this exercise has been therapeutic for you. Awesome! :)
No one wrote about medicare for all before Bernie was in favor of it? Nonsense. People have been writing about medicare for all since before I was born.
And "your idea" was tried by Jerry Brown and others before lots of other people were born. Another one of CW's excellent points. :)
Reality. Try it.
Alrighty then. I would wager CW isn't planning an article to shill for "your idea" that in "reality" wasn't really "your idea."
Now you try. :)

You only seem to want to convince yourself that you are right
No need. Your increasingly repetitive spam campaign and multi-year complete lack of results convinced me.

Slow to get going but nearly impossible to stop once it does. I would not count out the overwhelming majority of us changing for the better just yet.

Just to respond to your points:
I have been following "lets Talk Elections" on You Tube for a while now, and an analysis was done on which VP picks would help Biden the most in picking up Electoral College Support in key states based on polling, voter support, get out the vote, etc.
Number One was Elizabeth Warren, who would help Biden pick up the most voter support among the most states.
Number Two was Kamala Harris.
But, if the pick was who Biden was personally the most close to and sympatico with then it would be Susan Rice.
Anyway, that's my two cents :-)

Bringing Drug Manufacture Back to America—Another Trump Triumph
This week, the Trump Administration signed off on a partnership with Kodak to begin producing critical pharmaceutical ingredients right here in the United States.
“America is dangerously dependent on foreign supply chains for all three stages of drug production: starting materials used to manufacture active ingredients, the active ingredients themselves and the finished product in the form of tablets, pills and injectables,” Peter Navarro and Adam Boehler write.
“The Kodak project is a big win for the Defense Production Act, a big win for New York and the nation—and a huge step forward toward US pharmaceutical independence.”

Wow, so Facebook and C-Span are the same???? Whatever happened to "Post the source and then we'll talk"??????
Did CSPAN say "Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal DESTROYS AG BARR during Congressional testimony:"
No, C-Span did not.
Ergo, someone watched the hearings and then rendered their OPINION on facebook..
Ergo, it's NOTHING but a facebook opinion..
Did you hit your head or something?? Your arguments are not normally this easy to rip apart.. :D

Vick.. Personal attack notwithstanding, I go with the arguments that work..
Nah. You go with the repetitive tedium of group insults that rarely vary and invented invective.
Facts are facts. If you feel insulted by them perhaps it's your choices of who and what you support that are the problem. As far as your claim of personal attack!? Well, thank you very much for proving my point about the "safe space," Mike; you are much too generous.
Perhaps if I had said "y'all's modus operandi who think that the sane patriotic Americans on this forum would actually LISTEN to a member of the Trump cult who condones assaulting veterans, the lying liar POTUS who keeps tweeting and retweeting false medical information that's getting Americans killed by coronavirus by the hundreds of thousands, and tossed in the white supremacist church killers, etc., that would have been more to y'all's liking?
I am constantly amazed how y'all can believe that Trump cult members can demonize the entire forum on a daily, oft times HOURLY basis and STILL expect to actually win the election. :D
Since you have no facts to address my facts but simply have to resort to personal attacks, I accept your concession.. :D
I would like to reiterate my thanks for you making my point about that "safe space." I can certainly add the word y'all and some words like "Trump cult" and "white supremacist killers" and President Murderer to each of my points since it clearly meets with your approval.
As you have proven beyond ANY doubt.. :D
Y'all's projection again is truly astonishing yet not surprising. If you feel like it's a personal attack, well... the facts fits y'all.
But, at least you have the decency to feel insulted by the facts...
Y'all's invented repetitive insults on permanent loop are not facts. I can keep repeating that fact until y'all's Trumpian cult of church killers catch on.
That shows there is hope for you..
Notwithstanding y'all's personal attack, somebody get my smelling salts. Heh.
Perhaps when President Trump again wipes the floor with your Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter champion, it will truly sink in how wrong ya'all (NEN) have always been.. :D
Y'all are on perpetual permanent loop
and got nothing but repetitive moose poop. :D

Let me correct that for you:
It doesn't change the fact that your comment contained OPINION based on actual events interpreted differently from mine which contained OPINION based on the same actual events just from a different perspective.
Yours had no MORE or LESS FACTS than mine did, and just as much was OPINION. Stop trying to make yours out to be something it was NOT and NEVER was going to be.
Yes, it is true that some of what I posted is Democrat Michael Goodwin's opinion.. But his opinions are based on FACTS, some of which were ALSO posted..
Now, if you need to see more corroboration of the FACTS that support Democrat Michael Goodwin's opinions, just let me know..
I'll be MORE than happy to post ALL of the FACTS that support Michael Goodwin's opinions in their entirety...

Star Trek Lower Decks will premiere Aug. 6. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will feature Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn and Ethan Peck. Also in development is a Section 31-based series with Michelle Yeoh as well as a CG-animated series in the works for Nickelodeon, titled Star Trek: Prodigy.

He said that Star Trek did for TV/Movies what the Beatles did for music..

Could Joe Biden be the politician that leads on One Demand?
Could pigs fly out of your backside?
If so how might that happen?
Very painfully.
Is it possible that someone could write an article about Joe Biden and how he could lead on this issue and that people would read that article and other articles it inspired and people would say they want Biden to lead on this issue?
Is it possible Don Harris could be the person that leads on One Demand by writing that article? I mean, you wouldn't keep expecting other people to "lead on this issue" when you keep refusing to lead on it yourself... now would you?
There must be some way to find out the answer to that.
Chop, chop... get to writing.
We have waited for decades to find out if Biden can think of this on his own and if he did he is keeping it a secret.
Wait, what!? Don Harris is asking somebody else to think of something on their own? *throws back head* *laughs*
Perhaps a little nudge would help Biden out.
Perhaps a swift kick in the backside would get Don Harris moving.
Try it out and report back. :)
I think they've blown it with much of the new Star Trek. Even TNG never captured the raw energy or fun of the original series. It has become too formulaic. Enterprise should have been more like the movie Das Boot, with cramped quarters and lots of suspense. This new one looks interesting but in the modern animation mode of safe with annoying voices. I would prefer more on the lines of Two Years Before the Mast. Star Wars suffers from the same problem, bean counters forcing safe instead of letting creativity push the genre forward...

Poor Louie. He was all set to fly on Air Force One to the fracking of Midland-Odessa, and *BAM* he caught the Trump Virus by taking the cognitive dissonance test. Anybody who wants a test can get a test, and the last five questions are really hard. If Louie hadn't taken the test, he'd be out in West Texas and fracking like everyone else right now.
Voters are sure to be impressed with this Republican commitment to spreading disease. I sincerely hope Bill Barr appreciates Louie's efforts since they were hanging out yesterday.

Exactly this! Because yesterday during the hearing, Louie kept jerking around with his mask and had to be scolded to keep it on his dang face! He was videoed near Billy Barr... ruh, roh.
Hoping not.
Wait, Big Money Joe was talking to reporters!?
He used to love love love talking to reporters. I think Tim Russert was one of his favourites.
Trial balloons can be shot down, but time is short.
He used to be a Sunday show regular. They were always great interviews.
He did a press conference yesterday. It seemed like bad timing what with Barr's widely advertised date to lie a lot. Maybe he wanted to step on Barr's ratings, but I don't know why that would make sense.
If Senator Harris has to be around, I'd rather see her at the Justice Department. Maybe that is what the note card foreshadowed?
Well, let's face it, Biden's pressers don't get covered during the best of times. Never have. Why start now?

You DO realize that the BUILD BACK BETTER was a UN Program from 2015....
Right???
I still like it. WHO is making reference to it a lot, as well. More reason to like it!
And, remember, Biden is an internationalist, in the best sense of the word. :)
I still like it. WHO is making reference to it a lot, as well. More reason to like it!
Since Basement Biden doesn't give credit to the UN, some would call it plagiarizing...

Build Back Better is a perfect slogan, actually. And, Biden is the perfect one to take advantage of all of the opportunities that Pandemic I has unleashed for doing just that!

Can't have doctor "demon sperm" being called out for the medical quackery. Some grifter has money to be made off the deaths of the people; it's the only thing that explains their continued shilling of this harmful drug to Americans.
Don,
Biden making things better without making the small donor only commitment is a much bigger if than if Biden were to make the small donor only commitment.
Not the way I see it.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised not only by what Biden is capable of doing to make things better but, even more importantly for you, by what he is able to do to move the dial in reducing the influence of big money in politics.
This is why I believe you are doing the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot by not fully supporting a Biden candidacy and disrespecting him at every opportunity
Don,
So much depends on whether Biden will have a Democratic House and Senate. Because that is what will be need to make any progress in the right direction for everyone.
