    Trying to avoid causing panics is a good sentiment. The =IMPOTUS as is typical, did it poorly. Trying to make political hay from it was his grievous mistake. Being surrounded by morons of his own choosing was a big contributor.

    I think the problem with coronavirus numbers is that after a certain period of time, people just run out of the mental stamina to really care about it as much. It becomes background noise to a lot of people. Certainly not background noise to those who lost a loved one due to it, and may well hold Trump's boneheaded attitude to the crisis to being a contributing factor in their grief, but I doubt Trump's even that worried about that so long as it's more in safe Democrat states.

    Trump must be thanking his lucky stars that the new media buzz is on the protests and disorder where he can position himself as the law and order president, and really fear monger the hell out of it.

    The Trump presidency plumbs new depths every single day. There's literally nothing that could surprise me at this stage.

    Biden live at the moment smashing his speech, maybe the #IMPOTUS zealots should watch it, that way they don't need to rely on FOX "news" soundbites and heavily edited clips.

    By "playing it down" he created complacency. Therefore, caused the death of American citizens. If it was anyone else I'd be surprised, but as I said, nothing that this administration does could possibly surprise me at this stage. Utterly disgusting bunch of people with deaths on their hands now.

    Just to point out , there are literally thousands of people that are entitled to "nominate" someone for a Nobel Peace prize.
    According to the statutes of the Nobel Foundation, a nomination is considered valid if it is submitted by a person who falls within one of the following categories:
    • Members of national assemblies and national governments (cabinet members/ministers) of sovereign states as well as current heads of states
    • Members of The International Court of Justice in The Hague and The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague
    • Members of l’Institut de Droit International
    • Members of the international board of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom
    • University professors, professors emeriti and associate professors of history, social sciences, law, philosophy, theology, and religion; university rectors and university directors (or their equivalents); directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes
    • Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
    • Members of the main board of directors or its equivalent of organizations that have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
    • Current and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee (proposals by current members of the Committee to be submitted no later than at the first meeting of the Committee after 1 February)
    • Former advisers to the Norwegian Nobel Committee

    So , finding one person from that multitude to nominate him is utterly meaningless.

    Making a short list , that perhaps means something. Let's see if that happens

    Spoiler -
    It absolutely will not

    Meanwhile, Trump announced he will hold a briefing at 3:30 PM to announce his fantasy football team, er, list of future potential SCOTUS nominees. :confused:

    It's pretty impressive, Biden's having trouble keeping calm.

    Obama, Clinton, Reagan were all great speakers. Biden, Bushes were more or less mediocre speakers (Bush I better than Bush 2).

    And of course, somewhere way down the bottom of the barrel viewable only with a telescope, is the speaking ability of the #IMPOTUS.

    I thought Billy gave them, something that they could work with. I still wish the tapes were withheld for a day or two though.

    Ted Cruz on the Supreme Court. Isn't this the man whose father was meant to have been involved in the assassination of JFK? :confused:

    It must be a sad day for the Trump haters on here and elsewhere with the Nobel Peace Prize Nomination for the Israel UAE peace deal and the Serbia Kosovo deal. Plus following through on his commitment of reducing troops in Iraq by 3000 is all great news for the President Trump. All plays well for November. Democrats and Biden not so much!

    It must be really sad for the thousands of families that lost loved ones unnecessarily that could have been saved with a proper response to the pandemic by the President who lied to the American public saying it was like the regular flu. Id say their sadness is a bit stronger than the sadness experienced by the Trump haters in this thread.

    Sorry Mate, Trump admitted on tape to downplaying the coronavirus.
    Thousand of lives could have been saved.

    No distractions will change this news.

    The same boilerplate post has been made by others several times already today. It's lazy at best.

    Why would it be a sad day?

    Second time same person nominated him as far as I know, and the result will be the same I'd say?

    Or proof that him being a cu*t lead to the death of a lot of his fellow citizens?

    Fairly noticeable however that given the latest recording of him being his usual self, certain people are trying very hard to grasp this nobel prize straw and ignoring that his actions lead to the death of a lot of his fellow citizens.

    If that's the best that they can come up with, they're in trouble. It's quite noticeable that some of the usual candidates don't seem to have much to say this evening.

    Tbh, I hope neither of them win. Both are idiots in their own way.

    But since Tulsi Gabbard isn't in the race I guess we have to watch dumb and dumber fight it out.

    But given the reality that, despite your wish, one of them must win, which would you prefer?

    Out of these two then Trump, I doubt Biden will be a better president and that Trump has broken a 39-year-old streak of American Presidents either starting a war or bringing the United States into an international armed conflict.

    Whereas Biden helped start the Iraq war, Trump is now pulling out troops (just in time for election day as it happens).


    You?

    Biden is dismal when it comes to foreign policy as Iraq proved.

    Trump is more disappointing though as he sees better than many how awful America's interventionism has been but hasn't done anything about it.

    Regarding war,,,he wanted to invade Venezuela but did not want to do the work and has been very much Saudi Arabia and Israel first type guy and when you see what those 2 nations are doing.............:eek:

    He has threatened to pull troops before from those forever wars but nothing comes from it instead he just re deploys them elsewhere.

    I'd like to be proved wrong but I see him backing down quickly from those statements last week once the hawks of the GOP speak to him.

    I think when it comes to picking between these 2 best to focus on other stuff as neither are exactly doves no matter what their die hard supporters might say.

    You never explained why you posted shíte by this guy.


    Is this where you get your news from? It's not even fit for the CT forum.

    Multiple sources? Hmmm...I wonder will Trump fans believe in these sources...

    Looking through this guy's Twitter feed - he seems legit:
