"Trump's says he told Pence tonignore governors in hard-hit areas if they are not appreciative"

Bow before your ruler

“When they’re not appreciative to me, they’re not appreciative to the Army Corps, they’re not appreciative to FEMA, it’s not right,” Trump said.

He then added: “I say, ‘Mike, don’t call the governor of Washington; you’re wasting your time with him. Don’t call the woman in Michigan. It doesn’t make any difference what happens.’ You know what I say: ‘If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call.’ He’s a different type of person; he’ll call quietly anyway.”


What a pathetic little bitch he is.

Who would have thought that George W Bush is now a model of a competent Republican President?

Mark that among Trump’s achievements.

Can I assume these are states the Republicans have little chance of winning?

Coz they've got zero chance now.


Seriously - this may be how things have played behing the scenes before (assuming the president is an arsehole), but with Trump it's all out in the open. Breathtaking.

He has just casually remarked he "may" quarantine NYC, like some cartoon fat emperor. Cue thousands of infected New Yorkers fleeing to Florida.


Nice job shit gibbon. Fuck me sideways.

Trump is like a character Heller ditched from Catch-22 because he was too implausible.

Is Biden staying quiet because he doesn't have an official role in all this? it doesn't look like a time he shouldn't be showing leadership looking to the election, but it's maybe a time not to be too public right now when this shouldn't be a partisan issue

The second one. Any statement from the other old white dude will prompt an outpouring of disinformation from the orange white dude. Right now we needs the airways clear so dudes and dudesses in white coats can get an on point message across without background noise.

Is that message you're all going to burn now the EPA has announced as long as you can manufacture bullshit that you're only dumping toxic waste 'cause of Covid 19 they're not even going to worry about compliance where it kills people?

I’m too tired to pick through that.

I’m too tired to pick through that.

I like the line that 'these consequences may affect the ability of an operation to meet enforceable limitations on air emissions and water discharges, requirements for the management of hazardous waste, or requirements to ensure and provide safe drinking water.'

On the one hand it's reasonable guidance, on the other hand many of the firms governed are run by disgusting pieces of human filth

Utterly clueless.

And now they're mass releasing people from jails after the disease has already entered the system and doing so with little to no support structures in place, this can only go well by the measures of crime, covid and punishment

Basically this entire thing is evidence 1001 why I would never live in America

Whatever he does he has a problem. As morepork points out the public don’t want tribal politics right now. So all he can do is sit tight and hope Trump takes a kicking from his handling of the crisis so he can benefit.

I think most people who meet Trump have an urgent urge to wash their hands afterwards, so they should be OK.

And yet you live in a dictatorship, and that's not even a joke anymore, it's a full on dictatorship with jail sentences for speaking the truth and everything

Yep.

But I’m already here and they don’t have guns. We’re looking to change the system here first, if we can’t, we’ve already thought of our exit plans.
