    first, so what did you pick? I voted Noble prize.

    second, I’m not particularly rebellious. Honestly, I’m probably a pretty boring normal person. I dislike and won’t support human garbage, which is a pretty uncomplicated position in the grand scheme of things.

    HonestLy, I think trump would choose a Noble prize over a second term. In terms of legacy and lifetime achievement, which I think is his priority, I think the Noble prize is tops (unless he could win Mr. America, GQ most handsomest man of the year, or something like that).

    Trump has done an amazing job. He could have single-handedly come up with a vaccine and the liberals would complain it took him too long.

    Cuomo on the other hand, has allowed the subways to run throughout all of this -- #1 carrier of the virus. And he released COVID patients to return to nursing homes, only to infect and kill other residents. Cuomo has easily the worst statistics in the country out of all the states.

    I think he'd at least consider picking the Nobel Prize. However, #1 for trumpy is anything to help him get re-"elected."

    So, after Jared's comments today, I'm almost certain that the administration is using Trump's reelection chances as the impetus to their current "plan."

    Basically, what do they have to lose by reopening the country. If the country stays shuttered, the economy goes in the toilet and Trump loses the election. If the country reopens now, and a bunch of people die, Trump loses the election. So, might as well swing for the fences and hope that this works and it leads to Trump's reelection. If it doesn't work, oh well, nothing else was going to keep him elected anyway and there's no skin off their backs. What do they care about the thousands of dead bodies...it ain't them.

    Real scary to think about when you watch these guys right now.

    He said it's the toughest decision he's had to make. No president since FDR has faced this type of decision. IMO, you have to root for him on this matter despite your hate for him. It's common decency. There's a million other things you can beat him on.

    Don’t you have a brain to think or read? Read something before posting this garbage.

    I think you could have simplified the options.
    Option 1
    Or Himself.

    Don’t need four options just two will do.

    Objectively, I am the most intelligent poster on this BBS. I am a man of property, extremely well read, and I have amazing hair.


    GOOD DAY

    You must be joking, comparing him to FDR for god’s sake. Comparing the liar to that great man is an insult to both Roosevelt and history. I’ll add this. I’m rooting for him to vacate the White House and let a real man occupy it, not a charlatan and conman who cares only for himself and who doesn’t possess an ounce of empathy for those sick and dying because of his incredible incompetence.

    One thing you are right about. There are a million things one could “beat the man up” on. Number one is that he is arguably the worst president this great nation has had in it’s entire history. He isn’t fit to shine Nixon’s shoes, and I voted against Nixon.

    Where's the "Fondle Ivanka while Jared takes the fall" option?

    It's a dumb decision by his own doing. People are generally okay with risk taking like driving 90 in a 75 speed limit.

    But not knowing by lack of available testing or not containing by the lack of available PPE is something within his control as Chief executive with "absolute power".

    Lets forget he's had two+ months of shutdowns to pull this off or roll out a "C-level style" plan/timetable to pull it off.

    He seems to be let off the hook by some "because it's hard and it's not like it's his job to do it".

    If he was a successful business executive, he'd be fired from his company or forced to resign.

    Like him disbanding the pandemic team or him firing the expert on the ground in China that was there to monitor. Those things you are talking about?
