Trump's latest televised meltdown..when asked by a reporter what he wanted to say to the millions who are scared..shows perfectly why he isn't fit to be in office..honestly never seen anything so awful.

Mocking another reporters disability and saying white supremists were good people are among his credits too.

He’s a complete psycho and those who will vote for him again are mental.

They all say things are better for them now, well... it’s a different world. How many people are going to die? Beyond the human carnage, we’re going to go into deep recession for sure, with a babbling idiot at the wheel. So maybe they rethink that decision to vote for this bewigged and painted sea cow again?

You wanted to be the countries most unqualified President (because Obama mocked your birther stance in public).. you got it!

He was actually shutting the fuck up and letting the adults speak for a couple of days, but the idiocy is back.

I will never understand why no one stopped him creeping around behind Clinton during the Presidential debate.

Had she complained about it (in live time) his disgusting supporters would’ve said she was emotional, weak and (god forbid) feminine. Mr. grab ‘em by the pussy can’t answer a debate question with any intelligence, knowledge or comprehension, so he threatens to “lock her up” and batters around behind her like a WWW lunatic. She said that it made her skin crawl, but she just focused on the questions and audience, to her credit.

It would’ve been interesting if Warren had made it to a debate with him, with her knowing what to expect as far as a complete lack of class, decorum and total inability to conduct himself in an acceptable manner towards others, especially women. What he said about that female Fox reporter (who dared to anger him) having blood coming out of places and Clinton using the toilet before a debate, FFS. We get it, he’s a hot athlete with the same frame as Tom Brady and they are nasty women bleeding and shitting in his precious vicinity. What a freak this guy is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d3C3qrO_8Q

If you watch the Clinton-Obama debates you see two intellectuals going toe to toe within normal boundaries. They took swipes at each other in places, but balanced that out with their ability to communicate and effectively answer a goddamned question (on any topic). Obama gets frustrated with Clinton’s tactics and jabs, kinda losing his cool demeanor at times, but it’s more like he wasn’t expecting such difficulty rather than outright disdain for her. Trump has contempt for everybody, absolutely everyone. Creepy alien-like Pence droning on is not as bad as Trump freaking out and shouting out Fox News talking points, but it certainly doesn’t put one at ease to have a yes man, second banana who never challenges Trump’s insanity dealing with American (and worldwide) mortality on this level.

The difference between Obama and Ciinton’s discourse and Trump’s schtick is substance.

What a joke the voters who will support him again are. They and their chosen one have taken the United States thirty-five to forty-five years back and... flushed it down the toilet.

We'll be fine, only b/c Mrs. Me happens to be starting a new better paying job the following week, and I'll get 55% on Employment Insurance. But I feel for those who won't be fine.

Well that sucks. Is this "laid off" in the "once business picks up we'll call you back" way or more in the tech industry versions of "get the fuck out"? Either way - sucks, man.

Definitely the former. All Park Board Auxiliary workers are in the same boat. So not worried.

Glad it's (probably) less egregious than what my industry typically calls a layoff. Still - good luck, guy. Hope it's not too long a stint for you.

What DzM said, Low D. Good luck with it

Well in good news just got the word today that they will pay us all an additional 4 weeks at 100%, followed by 2 weeks at 75% and guaranteeing 100% return to existing positions whenever this is all over, so that's alright.

Meanwhile we had a couple colds in our household so we went into 10 days isolation and then i had a serious cough for 2 days so i was iso-isolated, but no fever or sudden shortness of breath and i'm mostly back to normal today. I will admit we had a few moments of panic... :oops:

not helped by our lack of a thermometer and them all sold out everywhere.

But in good news it means i'm not allowed in for my last couple shifts but paid anyway so I'll call that a win!

#Patriots owner Robert Kraft didn’t just help purchase and deliver 1.4 million masks from China for Massachusetts. He also bought 300,000 masks with his own money for New York that will be delivered to the Javits Center tomorrow. He has strong ties to NY, as a @Columbia graduate.

What a godsend to the healthcare workers of Massachusetts.

I'm happy to see rich people and corporations stepping up to provide PPE in this time of need. I'm disgusted, though, that at this time of need that we're relying on rich people and charity to acquire PPE and determine where to send it, and that these people and corporations are being able to acquire them.

Why the fuck is Robert Kraft even able to purchase 300,000 masks right now? Why isn't FEMA and CDC working together to determine where most need is and shipping PPE to those locations? Why are hospitals and a centralized response having to compete against Robert Kraft to acquire masks?

That Kraft can buy these masks; that Ryan Reynolds can acquire PPE and send it to hospitals in new York; that Amazon has chosen to halt sales of N95 masks to the public and make them available only to the health care workers - these are all great things but they truly expose the rot at the core of the system. That these people and corporations are doing these things is great; that the system is DEPENDING on them to do it shows that the system is broken as fuck.

Oh, but there’s a plan now though.

If Boris Johnson recovers, maybe he will spend the rest of his career as a serious NHS booster.
