LMAO this is incredible. You know the Tapper interview was a trap if he has to immediately go on and clarify how what he meant is different from what the media is running with. To be clear, Fauci just said that Trump agreed to mitigation upon his first suggestion Then they were salty and asked if he was saying that voluntarily. Someone better save a full transcript for cabbage.

I'm laughing at him and laughing at CNN. They are perfect for each other. The only thing I love about it is that its nice to get a live circus in the middle of a pandemic. I haven't laughed like that this entire time in isolation. Nonstop for like 5 minutes.

But in all seriousness, imagine if in the midst of impeachment, Trump just suddenly canceled EVERYTHING and sent everyone home for months. None one would have approved.

Maybe typically, but not today. I think he legitimately respects Fauci. Of course, only because of his approval ratings and not because he’s an expert.

But he is right in that its been a louder and louder drumbeat from conservative media personalities and now even members of Congress to kick Fauci to the curb.

Quote :
"President Trump at a briefing Monday night made an assertion that likely would have surprised the framers of the U.S. Constitution: that as president, his authority is "total" and that he has the power to order states — which have told businesses to close and people to remain at home to limit the spread of the coronavirus — to reopen.

"The president of the United States calls the shots," Trump said. "They can't do anything without the approval of the president of the United States."

Trump said there were "numerous provisions" in the Constitution that give him that power but he didn't name any.

But Trump's assertion is simply without merit or grounding in the Constitution, legal experts say."

Just read an article about milk oversupply and dumping. It referenced that farmers are already hurting because of the trade wars and tariffs reducing demand. Similar thing seems to be happening in the pork industry too, and probably across agriculture.

^^ don’t overthink it. It’s Trump impulsively spewing shit that pops up in his worm-infested brain and then his team lighting their credibility on fire trying to find any legal loophole to justify the fact he said it in the first place.

The only ones who actually think he has a plan are MAGAs and Earl.

It's not so much an oversupply so much as an inability to change infrastructure overnight to accommodate an increase in retail demand. I mean there is an oversupply now just like every other food product that supplied restaurants, but milk is somewhat unique in that it can't be stored long term like meat and can't be delayed in harvesting like produce.

Not to mention that dairy plants don't give a shit if farmers are forced to dump milk because they'll still make their profits and let the farmers take all the losses and bad publicity.

It's hard to compare the pork/chicken industries with dairy because both of those are almost completely vertically integrated while dairy is very much not. Also the milk pricing system in the US is all kinds of fucked up and dumb, but that's a whole other topic. In conclusion, milk is getting dumped because retail processing is at capacity and all the milk that was for institutional use has nowhere to go and you can't just tell cows to stop making milk.

He's priming his oinking base to commit acts of terror against Democratic leaders of swing states, and probably against liberal and left citizens as well. Goes without saying how ominous this is, as we're less than two years removed from the MAGA bomber (admit it, this timeline is so insane that you already forgot about that because it seems like a lifetime ago). Absolutely will not surprise me if their is an attempt on the life of Whitmer (Michigan) or other Governors by one of these deranged red-hats. These people are armed to the teeth and protesting in front of their homes and have fully bought into the notion that this is simultaneously a Democratic hoax and also a failure of state government and not a failure of the federal government.

His comments about his power being "total" was not just a misunderstanding of the constitution, it was a threat that is now being followed up by a call to violent action.

Grim. Just.....really grim.

You just accidentally explained why Trumpism is successful. As ugly as it may be, it has a backbone and stands up for what it believes in no matter what. Trump isn't worried at all about what we think.
The authentic Obama you described may have lost the reelection, but he would have done so with dignity.

I don’t plan on spending a nice Saturday afternoon in a back and forth with Earl, but this is a fucking bananas statement. Bananas.

There is literally no one in political history who cares MORE about what people think than Donald Trump. Not a single person. Ever. In history.

To believe a statement like this you just have just found out that Donald Trump was a person in 2015.

A statement like this should permanently disqualify a person from ever speaking about politics... or life.

I think you may be mixing "think" with "say". Trump cares about what critics "say" about him yes but I similarly don't see how anyone can think Trump cares about what left-minded people "think" about policies which is what I said. You also swapped out "we(the left)" with "people" when the context made it clear that he cares about what his supporters think. You may also be using some different definition of care to try and twist my words but I don't know because you're all over the place.

Do you really think Trump wakes up and thinks "Man I really want to stop people from coming here illigally but if I did, then all of the people who want open borders might be mad at me so maybe I shouldn't?"

"I really want to post this to twitter but people on the left will find it offensive"

Someone who cares what the other side thinks is the opposite of what Trump is. If Trump was like that, he would show a lot more restraint and wouldn't have done so many "divisive" things.

Notice how I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt instead of attacking you for implying something I think is ridiculous.

Also notice how you continually reinforce this attitude towards people who have different opinions about things you "know" to be true.

Seeing the right wing froth about social distancing guidelines while trump tells people to liberate their states while trump also tells people to socially distance and follow the guidelines...

How do you campaign against this? This is the same thing trump did in 2016... he’ll tell one group he wants 1 thing, another group he wants a completely opposite thing, and both groups believe he’s behind them 100%, and both groups cite sound bites as their proof.

You can’t. He’ll flood the airwaves with shit.

That’s why the general election was ALWAYS more about mobilizing those who hate Trump than about any single Dem nominee. It may be the most policy-insignificant general election ever.

Though, in hindsight I disagree with you about 2016. It may have seemed like shit-slinging but he consciously tapped into racial resentment AND real problems with inequality. Those two things overlapped quite a bit and he was able to win the votes of those who hate both candidates. The dynamics are far different in 2020. Polling has shown dramatically that between those who don’t really like either candidate, Trump isn’t winning that demo.

People will write it off as random, incoherent shit but don't realize its a direct play to his base. There are a LOT of people who would approve of using ANYTHING as an excuse to curb immigration. I'm not the only one who knows this but the only one who isn't afraid to acknowledge Trump's propensity for feeding his base.

Yes because anytime I say anything that is about Trump having a coherent plan to energize his base it gets dismissed as "Trump support" or "trolling" by the two most powerful users who also won't tolerate any discussion outside the premise that Trump doesn't know what he's doing. That means I either spell it out clearly to make it obvious or leave it not-so-obvious where they can twist the context.

NYM comes in behind my posts quoting one part out of context to try to make me seem like a trump supporter saying something ridiculous, adding something Earl said, mixing the two together while calling me Earl. This strategy prevents the "obvious" implication of my post from being discussed.

I'm sure it confuses a lot of people especially the ones who take their advice of not actually reading my posts. All they read are the quotes taken out of context and mixed with distractions about Earl. No one else will say anything about it because they don't think its worth getting canceled on this site.

Trumps base are mindless zombies. All it takes to energize them is to make emotional appeals to racism, protectionism, and liberal media, regardless of any shred of truth or connection to reality. It’s not sophisticated.

Problem is the swing voters/centrists take these comments in good faith which is difficult to react to sometimes.

i have close family that serve as an anecdote there

an intelligent, and generally caring, giving individual that i've highly respected in many aspects of life... like me in most demographics - white, straight, male, middle of the road, Christian (not pretending here that i'm any sort of saint), conservative

what's the difference?
conditioning. and lots of it. years of being told, and to be honest it's not completely false, that the majority of mainstream news outlets are liberal, fake news, anti-Christian, and so on. but so much so that they effectively shut off almost any source of information outside of fox "news", trump in this case, or the rest of the GOP establishment.

it's incredibly frustrating - to the point that it has pretty severely damaged our relationship in certain ways. and it definitely sucks because nobody's getting any younger. no amount of talking, arguing, data, direct quotes from trump himself - has made any difference
