Trump is a suboptimal president imo
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

@PalmerReport
Trump’s properties have only been shut down for like two weeks, and he’s already unable to make payments on his Deutsche Bank loans. I told you all along that motherfucker was broke.

I'd like to make an exception and bring back debtors' prisons in this case.

The more new information I find myself taking in, and reflecting on positions based on evidence, the more liberal I become. I wonder if I am simply following my enlarged anterior cingulate gyrus?

"Basically the study showed that if you just based it on brain structural size difference, you could predict who would be a conservative and who would be a liberal with a frequency of 71.6 percent; 71.6 percent is a pretty high ability to predict who is a conservative and who is a liberal just from brain structure," Saltz said.

I suspect that this is one of the studies she's referencing:

0% loans are an important priority to the president why? I’m thinking he’s a big fan of Jefferson about now.

At today’s propaganda event Navarro said Kushner is in charge of ventilator allocation.

To be honest, I don't think we can have commanders telling possible enemies about our weaknesses and where we are hurting. If he wanted to be able to speak freely, he should have gone into a different business. No laws were being broken.

This is one of the very rare times I'm going to side with a lack of transparency.

Jared Kushner (unwittingly) really making a solid case for one of the many, many reasons why his father-in-law shouldn't be president.

My hatred for Jared Kushner is equal to my hatred for Donald Trump.



Me too. I have said it before, but Kushner creeps me out. Dude probably kills hookers as a hobby. He's got those dead eyes and crappy genetics (his father was also a criminal).

I think it's true that he's cash poor. Seeing him have to declare personal bankruptcy would make me so happy.

"If you spent less time on your ridiculous impeachment hoax, which went haplessly on forever and ended up going nowhere (except increasing my poll numbers) and instead focused on helping the people of New York, then New York would not have been so completely unprepared for the 'invisible enemy.' No wonder AOC and others are thinking about running against you in the primary. If they did, they would likely win," Trump wrote

Does our feckless leader really think it's "dee 'P' act"?

“We hit 3M hard today after seeing what they were doing with their Masks. ‘P Act’ all the way.’ Big surprise to many in government as to what they were doing - will have a big price to pay!”

First month of job loss in a decade. That will forever be associated with Donald Trump.

IDK, I kinda feel like COVID-19 had something to do with the loss.

Nope. I do not support DOnald Trump, but you're insane if you think there would have been no job losses with Obama as President. With Obama as President, I would think, the federal COVID-19 response would likely have been swifter, and job losses may have been higher.
