Pence is a goddamned disgrace of a human. What a pathetic collection of carbon.

I've never seen such a shameless ball licker. He has absolutely no pride, dignity, or self worth. It's repulsive.
I refuse to listen to Trump speak. One always comes off feeling like you've just permanently lost a few IQ points.
I hear you. I wouldn't intentionally tune him in, but I had the TV on and he showed up, so...
I'm sure not going to retake the Mensa test. They'd make me turn in my card.
The governor of NY thanked Trump and Pence for their efforts. So did the Governor of California.
This isn't typical "free trade" conservative doctrine, but I have been alright with the tariffs. I also like the idea of repatriating supply chains from China in particular. Them threatening our drug supply this past week being one reason why.
IMO, globalism has been bad for the American worker and mildly good for the consumer. Yes, we have cheaper consumer goods, but quite a bit of the crap coming from China is of inferior quality and globalism has hurt our unskilled labor's pay as well.
If it wasn’t this, it was going to be the next crisis. The EU wasn’t going to work forever. The cracks from the recession and migrant crisis demonstrated that.
Special report from South Florida:
Spring Break is NOT CANCELLED. Beaches hotels and restaurants are full. #containthis
Stores are out of bottled water, TP and Ramen?
Tonight we dine on dauphin. Tomorrow, Key West to catch my own dinner.
'Merica
The kids on the beaches and those pouring out of the bars and restaurants haven't been informed.
No. They are selfish assholes refusing to do their part to stop the spread of the virus. You cheering them on makes you insane.
They are kids who know they are not particularly susceptible. So yep, selfish is part of it as is immaturity. But I know a lot of older people that left for their vacations because until yesterday our government was largely saying everything was under control.
The WHO now says that early indications are that heat will not stop the spread.

I know some older folks who are also being selfish assholes. The one thing in common with everyone I know acting this way is that they are all right wingers who consume right media.
I'm still of two minds on this. And technically, I'm among those who should be more cautious for my own sake. But I'm also not ready to hunker down and hide out and isolate myself. For me, what little interaction I have with people isn't going to change. I'm still going to work (which also calls for me to be out and about to a small degree), still going to the grocery store, still going to coffee club meetings a couple times a week, etc.
There's something about some of the shutting down that just doesn't sit right. I know it's all good practice, and don't see any evidence of things getting too out of hand, but still... I think a lot of it has to do with my fatalism and being willing to accept more risk than many.
I think if I felt like the decision makers were acting reasonably and responsibly and were basing their decisions on facts and in light of the greatest good, I might not feel the way I do. But when it comes to this administration, that's a bridge too far. Since it's hard to know who or what to believe, the best I can do is resign myself to what is, and hope that it all resolves for the best as soon as possible.
No. You thinking Americans are going to shelter in place makes you insane. I see all ages. All races. I have seen one mask on an ancient dude.
I think most people aren't sitting in front of the TV waiting for instructions from the Federal government on how to conduct their daily lives.

Yep... which pretty much guarantees we will be looking like Italy in about 7-10 days. They took the same attitude.
What if you get up too fast trying to look out your living room window, or to see if the tv says it's ok to go outside, and you fall backwards and bust your skull against the coffee table and bleed out on your germ-free floor?
I ain't going out like that.
If a person wants to be reckless with his or her own health and well-being, that is fine by me. But thumbing your nose at directives from the health organization just because you don’t want to stay home makes you a selfish prick. This is a moral obligation. Not surprising, it’s mostly the right wingers who don’t give a shit about their fellow citizens or feel any sense of moral obligation.
So have fun. Hopefully your negligence doesn’t kill someone.
Edit - This will be the US within a week.

Playing Scrabble in a Pandemic
What are the risks of doing what you love doing? Who gets to decide when you have to stop?

But the little world of competitive Scrabble is playing on, its official governing body declining to suspend play. The debate among players over whether games should continue is representative of the debates being waged in other corners of America that haven’t gone dark. People are still grabbing subway poles and flying in airplanes, believing Rush Limbaugh and Fox News. What are the risks of doing what you love doing? Who gets to decide when you have to stop?
All of that screams we have few leaders in the US. We shouldn't need the government to act, but it's super useful to have groups like the CDC to set a clear tone. As of today, they really haven't said a lot. Nothing I've seen from the CDC (leave aside verbal comments here and there) says it's the "recommendation of people who know" that all of us aggressively apply distancing measures. That government guidance is pretty watered down. What's the neutral source an unsure person should rely on to make decisions? The gov't has abandoned that mantle. And a meaningful portion of the electorate has adopted a mindless Fox-induced recklessness in the absence of any clear neutral guidance. The great thing about America is that a President can rise above the role in a crisis and call on non-mandatory greater good pushes. We've got none of that.
2 confirmed and 40+ potential new cases (19 in the hospital, 27 self-quarantined) of cornoavirus from one church in rural Georgia . . . .

It's becoming real in places where the idea of an outbreak hasn't been all that thinkable.

Hugs?
So now grabbin' 'em by the pussy doesn't seem like such a bad form of greeting these days.

Maybe I am not understanding your comment.
Are you stating that people who previously had the virus are testing positive a second time?
Sorry. Ignore it. I had two responses stuck in one. Hate responding via the mobile
I will edit the response.
The sign guy looks pretty angry. Look like something you see on the highway with road rage.
Gave the audience the V/finger too. Not reacting well to the announcement.
What crisis are you watching?
The message from the entire administration is clear and consistent. Wash your hands. Social distancing. Don’t fly or travel unless necessary. Don’t shake hands. If you are sick stay home. And stay away from the elderly, especially those in nursing homes. Notwithstanding this clear messaging, one smarter than your average poster here strangely contemplated an Easter visit to his MIL in a nursing home.
We constantly see questions from the press about specific behavior that is answered by the guidance we have been provided. Some people will always avoid decisions and want to be told what to do.

And a few days ago you were saying the administration was consistent and reassuring and that’s why you were still going to Arizona. Consistent indeed.
