It wont even be close. You are right. If there is any hope for Biden at all, it is only because this situation we are in. 

 

Trump is moving left of centrist dems like Biden on many issues like the checks currently being delivered and even medicare. Biden does nothing to bring Bernie supporters on board. He goes on the news and proclaims how he will shut down medicare for all if he got the chance. 

 

Trump has much more savvy and political maneuverability. The Bidens of the world are tied to their donors, and it is quite obvious. Voters say "Biden would go out of his way to strike down legislation important to me? I will go out of my way not to support him". Trump knows this and it is wise of him to capitalize on it, these are swing votes. 

 

There will be a lot of dems voting none of the above and even Trump. There wont be any republicans voting for Biden or abstaining. 

 

Maybe in 2024 dem voters will finally have learned their lesson. 

Trump is NOT moving left of "Centrist Dems" on ANY issue. The stimulus is NOT a leftist move, its an emergency neccessity being carried out in a state of crisis.

I thought many Yanks believe Donald Trump shows signs of dementia.

 

About as much as Boris, which is still a far cry from Sleepy ("Rub the hairs on my leg" ) Joe.

maybe, trump and cuomo have been friendly the past week once trump backed off of a federal quarantine of the northern states.

 

that's in the past, now trump is claiming absolute authority to reopen, while the states are holding back.

 

i realize the press is anti-trump, so the article linked below must be read with a carload of salt.  but if trump isn't careful, he's gonna lose a big basket of states rights deplorables.

Trumps base is solid as a rock obvious even to the Chinese Communist Party.

 I was 100% sure I would get dead silence from you. Please keep up your opinions especially like you wanting to see Hillary run 

What's yer opinion on that? You think you might get a last minute entance from her or anyone else?

I could, if I was alone, live in a small unit, but my needs are always pool, gym, and very importantly a set of burners for cooking with vent hob.

No ability to cook means all meals would have to be dining out. Cant handle that.

Unfortunately, that is often the set up on smaller sized places under 9k or so.

Also need full size fridge.

You make good points, but in all honesty I expect them to open, internally at least, very soon.

Open to foreign travelers I think will require some international coordination.

You make  a good point, but how does any of that exonerate Trump? He's the POTUS for crissakes! If your point is that we should throw each and every one of these incompetent a-holes out of office, including Trump, then I'll agree with you.

Isnt the topic here something about trying to restart economies? Isn't that good? Are people trying to be economists here? They want to claim macroeconomic knowledge greater then central banks and chief economists, Secretaries of the treasury? What is the argument here exactly? Is there one? You prefer the world stay closed?

President Trump wants the United States to start mining on the Moon for minerals.

The US president recently signed an executive order stating America has the right to explore and use resources from outer space.

The order also said the US did not see space as a common area for resources, and didn't need permission of international agreements to get started.

But why does he want to mine in space? And what are the benefits?

Radio 1 Newsbeat has been speaking to a couple of experts who can fill us in.

So what nonsense is this? People around the world are suffering. There are people paycheck to paycheck out of work...who will soon be desperate... all countries affected around the globe. Lets hope ways to restart will happen soon. Enough of this childishness.

Even though Thailand have everything under control with the low infection and death rates they are not yet considering "opening" up. In fact restrictions may increase and be extended.

Perhaps Trump et al should be looking eastward and asking just how are they doing it?

Thailand cant stay locked down much longer either. Personally I would like to see some international coordination on things such as flight resumption, and if health certificates will be used, how obtained etc....there is tragedy on the horizon soon if not opened back up for business... at least in some limited coordinated way...soon...and Thailands Govt knows this just like the rest of the world does.

Insignificant numbers.

 

The hope of dividing the Progressive vote is fading fast.

 

The last man standing is the guy Trump got himself impeached trying to avoid facing.

You fell for that huh? Biden can't think straight, and is a liability due is aging mind, and obvious corruption. Dems will pull him any minute now. Or it's gonna be an epic disaster, but honestly I think there is a reason that the candidate is a guy lost in space..... they know whats coming....chalk it as a loss... move on....

Sanders cited the novel coronavirus outbreak as a reason for the party to come together behind Biden

So if no Coronavirus no endorsement? Wow.... feel the unity!!! Must make democrats feel warm all over.

"Luckily it is very much a matter of public record that Trump took the virus very seriously at an early stage..."  So how come it's not that many days ago he was yelling at a Whitehouse press conference that it's just a hoax generated by the dems?

He never said that. You know that. What he said was an analogy of the coverage of the pandemic being similiar to how the Russian Hoax was covered. Again you know this already but repeating a lie for you does not matter:

'All liars', So you have never seen the lists of hundreds of specific lies sprouted by the clown?

The entire "progressive" leftist socialist movement in the USA is going to be stomped to death in a few short months...by clown I assume you mean Biden.

THe comment was nothing to do with voting, it was about responsibilty, nothing more nothing less, read and comprehend please , you owe that much to yourself

Well yeah, I threw in voting to speak directly to those raving non-American idiots who are concerned 24/7 with what happens in a country they will never cast a vote in, ....

.....or as a jab at whinging crying Americans who likewise are obsessed with the current President to show them the easy way to change for those who desire.

Again, its a pandemic emergency. Mistakes are always made in emergencies. But strangly, am not concerned with what global political leaders do in Countries in which have no effect on my life. Like UK, AUS, NZ, Germany or France as examples.

Always fascinated, however, by the obsessions non-Americans have with the USA.

1. Nobody has suggested anything like the clown sending people to the Goulag not that he has murdered anybody, just your attempt to deflect from the topic.

2, The American public have every right to expect that their president is sincere and focused, not playing humour games with anybody and especially during an epidemic and many thousands of Americans are dying. 

 

I deflect from nothing, an inference was made about people around Trump living in fear of repercussions. Something which has been brought up repeatedly for the same purpose to obfuscate obvious facts and plant seeds of doubt that the facts only appear to be truth. Such as the President of Ukraine saying he was not pressured by Trump. The planted meme is that surely Zelensky was in fact lying because surely he was in fear of repercussions....and on it goes.

This pandemic is, and has been, an unfolding crisis which the President and his team is handling. No doubt better methods perhaps could have been used, mistakes have been made, as in EVERY CRISIS. And after every crisis a LESSONS LEARNED is developed.

Tossing out nonsense about grownups being afraid of the President is nothing more then scary fairy tales made up from the stream of consciousness drival of those suffering from that well known condition absent from the DSM-5. That is the point  made clearly. Clear as glass. I just made it again for those with issues seeing clearly.

this is not a question of who makes the final decisions.  this is about the public face of the response.  why is it important for trump to proclaim his health briefings get higher ratings than the final episode of the bachelor?  the man has no dignity.

 

i'm surprised he doesn't cut to commercial breaks with "five ways the virus is killing your children, coming up, after this word from our sponsors."

Because the “Ratings” of my News Conferences etc. are so high, “Bachelor finale, Monday Night Football type numbers” according to the@nytimes, the Lamestream Media is going CRAZY. “Trump is reaching too many people, we must stop him.” said one lunatic. See you at 5:00 P.M.!

Part of the reason for limited options is that candidates need hundreds of millions of dollars to stage a campaign, Meaning that 99%, especially folks with limited funds, cannot ever become a real candidate. So much for the tenants of democracy.

Utter Rubbish. Thats how Ocasio Cortez and Obama got elected? Peanut farmer Jimmy? Of course Democrats do get rich in office, that's for sure.

Great news! Keep it up Thailand!

MAGA< I hope all those who has purchased the merchandise, put them into a bag not to see the light of day, until their grandchildren find them when cleaning out after your death.

Unfortunately the toll continues to rise, it is the highest in the world currently. ????

 

I hope that there is some investigation (after the crisis subsides) into the timelines of knowledge (already out there) about the virus alerting the Administration had and failed to act on, costing lives and brining heart ache to too many.

People need to accept responsibilty for their roles and incompetences.

 

Well the CDC and NYC health officials proudly proclaimed no worries....ride the subway without masks...and no worries.... and that's all she wrote... after that it's all catch up. #MAGA Trump 2020... or you can vote for incoherent Biden the Thief of Delaware! I guess u can say yes to the Biden Family business of international kickback if you will be voting.

And they are the best Presidential 'candidates' that the mighty USA can muster ...... ?

 

Why is that? 

Trump... the first crack in the neocon/neoliberal consensus...and he will be back for four more. Why?

The smiling Obama....civil...mild mannered eloquent in speech, and threw the country down a hole.

Bush2 before him... prominant family.....pushed forward by the GOP surrounded by Neocons... that went well.

Non-Americans here don't have a clue what's really going on in the USA. 

Enough!
