    I'm still almost speechless about that stunt he pulled last evening. The history books are not going to be kind....

    As one of my friends commented, he’s a f’ing moron!

    Pam, I’ll second that. And his message about not being scared of Covid. What an idiot.

    Those pictures of him returning to the white house, gasping for air, are just amazing.

    Washington Post op ed title -

    Americans showed Trump compassion. He repaid us with contempt.

    Does that sort of sum it up or what?

    I didn't read the article but figured the link itself summed it up without clicking on it.

    Our state's positivity rate for yesterday was 1.52%. I am used to wearing a mask all day.

    My favorite CNN commentator rips apart Trumps 85 second video victory lap:

    Even my nail salon has plexiglass dividers. And people aren’t yelling at each other. What a bunch of idiots.

    Plexiglass dividers are in common use here, even in schools.

    While I agree that plexiglass dividers may add a level of protection, they won’t prevent droplets from going over the top of them, unless it’s a closed booth. I think their best protection is greater distancing among the debaters and moderator, and enforcing the testing rules beforehand. If someone arrives late, they don’t take the stage until their test result comes back and the one who arrived on time gets uninterrupted time while the late one waits.

    Great ideas! And use the plexiglass because it can't hurt. Add the ability of the moderator to control the microphones.

    Or better yet - why not do it virtually?

    I just want my $1200 but with his Highness frequently changing his mind, the airlines and I are in limbo. You don't make decisions without thoroughly considering the impact.

    His comments that he wouldn’t be acting on a stimulus until after he was re-elected sounded like a threat to me. Once again, he demonstrates it’s all about him and what he’s going to get out of something. Heaven forbid he’d put the people first.

    One of the traits of a narcissist is that everything is a transaction. In other words, a mindset of “what’s in it for me” in everything they do. They typically have absolutely no altruism and no empathy. Sound like anyone we know?

    Absolutely him. I heard a report where he told us all about how his recovery is going. He never commented on how Melania or any of the other people circle who got infected are doing. Certainly strange behavior for a husband.

    It definitely does!
