    God I hope the flow of supplies isn't conditional, but it's interesting that you say you would bet your life on it because there are people who actually have to make that bet right now. But there is no doubt that the POTUS is creating ambiguity while asking for people to publicly say he/his administration is "doing a good job". It's EXACTLY what he did in Ukraine, and it worked there. He got what he wanted while leveraging the power given to him by the country. He's doing it again with this statement. It's not about tough language, it's about continually asking for something in return, in return for doing his job. He said it in his book, whenever you write a check always ask for one more thing in return. If I'm a governor and there are thousands of lives at stake it sure seems easier, the path of less resistance, to just say "Trump is doing a great job" and not risk anything... even if "Trump doing a great job" is fake news.

    I'm not gonna lie, I watched the news for 15 minutes last night, then I had to watch an episode of Tiger King just to relax.

    not watching at all
    i like catching random doctors opinions from both sides but the sensationalism is too much
    fuck just being out in public and watching how people are driving and acting is enough

    Dude thought it was some gov't conspiracy and they were using the ship for nefarious purposes and he needed to wake everyone up by driving a train into a ship.

    Needless to say I love that guy.

    It's not by accident.
    The historical setting where the Medes rise in power within Persia during the Persian wars with Egypt and Greece and take the crown jewel Babylon from all of them was because the media being a small tribe created chaos and operated swiftly and orderly within the chaos they themselves fomented which allowed the major soft targets to expose themselves for easy destruction by their own camps so that when the Medes road through the streets their pen was mightier than swords and there was no shield that could stop the local civilians from buying the treaties and deals the Medes offered.
    They offered love or thunder.
    When folks dying over toiletries like in prison you know that love wins the day and it's time to make a trade.
    Unless it doesn't.
    That's why they have thundersticks.

    Yes but left unchecked this thing could get out of control in a hurry, totally inundating our healthcare system and racking up 2.5 million bodies in its wake.

    So I watched it.
    At first I was surprised and shocked at what I was watching.
    Then what I was watching started giving me ideas.
    That surprised and shocked me.
    So I put down the bowl.

    You mean like how they said masks originally had little/no protective value for regular folks like us, but now suddenly that do now that the health care workers have enough of them?

    Still might happen.
    We don't have any evidence the social distancing is working.
