These just don’t matter anymore. Hypocrisy and lying take a back seat to his supporters, he just keep throwing partisan red meat to his base and they are happy. Competence simply isn’t needed anymore.

If nothing else, his presidency has shown how utterly inconsequential the president can be in our daily lives. Other than his spending, I am not aware of anything he's done which makes my life better or worse. I wish others who seem to worship or revile the president as if they are King, could come to a similar conclusion.

Got ya, not sure then. I don't believe anyone on this subject anymore

Understandable, since there is a vacuum of leadership and most of the media is either too partisan or simply too dumb to understand what is going on.

People then turn to even more partisan sources out of frustration, so what most people end up believing tends to range from laughably stupid to just sadly stupid.

There are positives on the science front, and in the slow growth of herd immunity, so I am certain we will win this. It would be nice if we could do it with a little more togetherness.

Also, after seeing how well Vols are recruiting right now, I'll fight the Grim Reaper off with a rusty paring knife if he comes at me. I'm definitely going see the Vols kick in the teeth of the Menstrual Tide a few more times before I go.

Not pushing for new taxes/regulations and not starting anymore wars is the best thing a POTUS can do.

I agree with you but that is asking a lot from the left, if the apoplectic group we have here is any kind of representative sampling.

There is zero doubt in my mind that both myself and NGV both have antibodies now , after going through both I can say you’ll only need to fight him off for about 10-14 days after that it’s just a matter of getting your strength back . I think it’s like any virus , everyones body will handle it differently . I had 3-4 bad days the rest was mostly just feeling like sh!t . The one thing that was common with us both was the energy part .. it will zap you
Edit : I’m 52 so right in the sweet spot for it .

I am sure there is more to this but this is the one thing that really bothers me about Trump. He will never go down as one of the better statesman. I like that he fights back but I don't like the thin skin and his inability to let certain things go. This type of rhetoric is not helpful to the base eventhough Romney branded himself as a staunch conservative during the last years election.

I don’t think he is thin skinned at all and probably spends less than a second thinking about most of the things he tweets out.

The US crossed an important milestone over the weekend with driving mobility reaching back over pre-COVID baseline. There is a thought that once people start going back to work that driving demand will actually exceed pre-COVID levels as everyone wants to be out and about (and you'll see much lower airplane travel). Add to this the positive news (even if not a slam dunk) of the Moderna vaccine trial and you see a general risk-on today, whether that be in equities (Dow up almost 4%) or commodities (oil and gas up 10%)

The mask is a new virtue signal...a high horse that the wearer will sit on while trying to shame you for going maskless.

It’s already happened to me where I live.

Masks have become the dividing line between 1)the irresponsible Trump supporters who defy facts and hold science in contempt, versus 2) those who see that the trivial inconvenience of wearing a mask even for a short period is easily worth it if it keeps just a few people from getting infected.

Not wearing a mask in public has become a badge of honor for the idiots.

1 in 32,800 are dead in TN because of the virus. I may not know your science, but I know my odds.

Why would you care? Assuming you left your house...do you not have your mask on? Are you staying six feet away from me? What’s the problem?

My county currently has about 14 deaths of people not in nursing homes out of 725k residents. I'm thinking this kind of screeching has become the dividing line between those who understand math and those who majored in English lit in order to get into law school

I have seen those folks on TV so I know they exist. Most of the unmasked people I've encountered the past couple of weeks appear to be twenty-somethings who don't have anything to do but outdoor group exercise. I doubt any of them are Trump voters.

That very conclusion is what leads me to question why anyone would elect a global embarrassment and horrendously despicable person.
It's like a school's mascot. Who really cares and what difference does it ultimately make?
Or what a nation's flag looks like. It has absolutely no impact..........
Yet no one wants a mangy 3-legged possum as their mascot or a national flag that's a turd floating in the toilet.
That would make absolutely no sense...........
