Getting America Back to Work - Weigh In

Damn, it’s a beautiful spring day. Especially now that the wind is calming down.

Enjoy your grilling.

That sounds great!

I did sliders, brats, corn and squash last night. Going to do some ribs with a sauce I’ve concocted, more corn and asparagus tonight.

Mrs. Creamy never ate pork until the quarantine. So I’m trying to take as much advantage of it as possible.

Nice. Did burgers and hot dogs last night. Got those nice 1/4 pound Costco hot dogs.

I was not attacking him. Not my intention anyway and I hope he thinks about it and understands my intent. It's a credit to someone that reflects on their position and changes their mind. I read his posts as reflecting on his POV in an honest way. If I misunderstood then my optimism is lessened I suppose.

"I feel like pops is a fox news consuming, gop voting, trump voter that is struggling with the reality of the situation and how it differs completely from what those sources are telling him. He's crying out for help and understanding while his world view is forcibly crumbling around him. I hope. He is still here engaging and reading. Gives me hope for my own parents."

Whew; sure sounded like an attack to me. Sorry for the f bomb; I just got carried away. It just pisses me off that here, if you support one of the Administration strategies, you are labeled a Fox News, Trumper.
I just thank God there are people like Faucii and Birx who I still have confidence in up there.
I truly respect all opinions and if I came off like I don't, shame on me.
Meanwhile, why is Manning still our Coach.
 
Fair enough. I can see that reading in a defensive way. You did ask for input and my assumption was you were questioning something you have held close. You came across as defensive after asking for input.

As for your last post a question. You praise the experts currently in the administration but how do you feel about the... appearance... that they don't like to follow expert opinion and seem to attack career government employees (aka experts in their fields)?

I’m not sure I understand your question. Can you give me a specific example you are referring to?
 
There is one group of workers that have been totally forgotten - hookers. There hasn't been an stimulus for them.

I'd have thought the feds and state govs would have put hookers into the plans. If nothing else, giving them some money could stop some tell all books.
 
Specific example of the administration discounting expert opinion? Happens every day. His attacks on alleged deep state and career government officials? Those people are experts in their fields. The glue between every administration that makes things run smoothly. Look at all the people that have left or been pushed out of his cabinet. Do you think he is attracting top talent or sycophants at this point?

any of the women that can write a tell all are probably still on retainer. OWGs are still gonna fill their viagra prescriptions.
Now all the young women putting themselves through school or making ends meet. They are likely really hurting.

All the women putting themselves through school? Do you mean like Dr. Honey Melons or Cinnamon Buns, Esq.? Do you still believe strippers and hookers are just working their way through school?

I still have a bridge for sale. :)

Oh I hear you. I just believe (or have been led to believe) that up to this point in this crisis he is listening to Fasci & Birx and I continue to have confidence In them both.
Whether that continues, and that is highly suspect, we will see.

Do you truly believe he listens to anyone? Ever? About anything? He does not read daily briefings from his experts, gets angry when people disagree (aka replaces them on "his team") and talks about how he knows things (insert any topic) better than anyone. He arrogantly governs with his gut while making little attempt to understand things.

This is the truth and the scariest thing about Trump in my opinion.
 
So, you have states like South Carolina and Florida not following the Federal government guidelines i.e being two weeks on a downward trajectory before entering Phase 1.
What can the Administration do?

It can put pressure on governors who have pledged loyalty to the Administration? Threaten to withhold some type of federal funding?

pass blame
 
I wonder if the governors of states like SC and FL would have listened to Trump if he told everyone to stay home indefinitely
