It is a collection of memetic phrases picked out of HBO's Chernobyl where various figures (in some cases knowingly) repeat dubious information over and over to reassure others the situation is totally fine.

All contrary evidence is met with these intractable factoids.

I do find the series an entirely appropriate metaphor for the current situation. Truth is subordinate to political convenience, decisions are made by unqualified bureaucrats chosen for loyalty rather than competence, etc.

They didn't capitalize it, they didn't say "in the". In fact they said: "40% of us".

Don't blame me for asking them to clarify their bad grammar!

Next time don't be such a dick claiming I might be looking for posts to **** on.

Every part of that sentence is wrong including your point and who you think you're talking to.

1. It wasn't my post. Read for comprehension.
2. Are you sure he meant "US" or is it just barely possible that he considers both himself and Trump supporters to be US citizens and thus we are them, as in "us?" See above re: comprehension. Also see previous post regarding you going out of your way to find something to **** on.

She wasn't walking into a store. She was the only one there and had just finished getting the shampoo. It's like moving from the shampoo sink to the stylist chair. Maybe you are unfamiliar with salons.

Thanks. I loved that series but didn't remember the meme.

FYFFY (Fixed your French for you) :)

:boggled:

I was responding to the post. I shall change you to they.

You know why I don't wear a mask when I shampoo my hair? Because I'm at home. If I was in a salon - something with which I am familiar - and thus breathing right up into the air the person washing my hair is breathing, I'd wear a ******* mask. I'd do this because I've never gotten a wash in a salon that resulted in any water on my face (and, before you start, yeah I'm a dude and I've worn shoulder-length hair for years at a time). If I was concerned about the mask getting wet, I'd bring a spare to put on after the wash if necessary.

Seriously, I don't get why you want to defend this so hard. Even accepting that you're a Pelosi-stan, you should at least acknowledge that she should be wearing a mask when in extended close proximity to someone with whom she doesn't live.

ETA: Also, if my city was requiring salons to operate outdoors, I wouldn't walk into one at all.

Whoopteedo Babby. It was Pelosi, not you, and your expectations were ridiculous.

I think we're done here.

Fell free to rant on.

Please use my full name when you're so very proudly slinking away.

I just find it ridiculous that Trump, who says wearing a mask is "patriotic" but doesn't wear one the vast majority of the time so fails the 'lead by example' test, would go after Pelosi on this. It's obvious his real objective was to name call and bully Pelosi in his usual childish manner because that's how he gets his kicks. He's just a pig of a man.

No doubt. If hypocrisy was an Olympic sport, he'd have more medals than whatshisname the swimmer and theotherguy who was also a swimmer put together. Trump is completely without shame, like clinically.

C’mon, people.

Can we put N. Pelosi in another thread.

Seeing all these salon posts here just reminds me of how easy it is for the Republicans to get the Democrats chasing their tail again and again.

The only reason the Pelosi-salon story is a story is:

Covid-19 deaths = 190,000

Trumpanzees want the public to be distracted.

C'mon, people.

Trump tweets about it, the media makes it a big deal, people on a forum react. It is what it is. I'm sure you're above it all, but most of us are way down here talking about what's being talked about. Few of us, however, forget the more important things, but if we do you'll remind us by...telling us what not to talk about?

I don’t think that suggesting a new thread is the same as saying “don’t talk about it”. And I doubt that you think it is the same either. This quoted post is really hyperbole, don’t you think?

Sheesh. No kidding! I was about to ask SG if the salon story was only being talked about on Fox. I'm sure CNN MSNBC are all covering it too.

Chasing tails it is.

I’m bowing out.

This is a catch-all thread. If you want to discuss another aspect of the Trump Presidency, have at it. However the sniping about what aspects others are discussing is dumb. Very, very dumb. It's ineffective, rude, and arrogant.

Ok. Not sure why you quoted me but didn’t respond to what I said.

Pelosi’s hair cut is apparently vital to the political future of your country and needs to be discussed in the thread about Trump’s presidency. Please carry on.

Trump and his cult definitely want to be talking about Pelosi's haircut because it's much better for them if people are not talking about Trump's Economic Depression and 190,000 covid-19 deaths.

“I’m not kidding, I truly believe that Donald Trump was sent by God." Supporters of President Trump were seen camping out at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport ahead of his rally tonight in Latrobe. https://cbsloc.al/3lLDtWG

Trump Tweets

Joe Hiden’ gets off his airplane, grabs and shakes a rather stunned man’s hand (like in the old days), then touches his (Joe’s) face and mask with the same hand. No crowd, no enthusiasm for Joe today. Law & Order!

That god! He can be such a practical joker!

(re: Trump's deleted and reappearing Tweet)
I have seen that happen before. I think he does it when certain comments are on the top so they can be deleted with the original Tweet. It's gotta be a hassle to try to keep up with him anyway.

I figured you were going to have to explain this one since you used it a couple of times.

I would suggest those that prompt his tweets have achieved their goal, people are talking about it as if it is something serious.

Nancy Pelosi says she got “set up” by a Beauty Parlor owner. Maybe the Beauty Parlor owner should be running the House of Representatives instead of Crazy Nancy?

Military (active duty or veterans) may not want to read this
 

Trump thinks those who died or were wounded serving their country are losers.


Why any member of a military family would vote for this SOB is beyond me.

Other examples (e.g., McCain, John Kelly's son) in the article from The Atlantic.

Nov. 4

Remember how Stubby McBonespurs was going to bring jobs back to the U.S.? Remember all of his trade wars that were meant to deal with companies being "unfair" to the United states?

From The Hill
The trade deficit in July spiked 18.9 percent to $63.6 billion, the highest since July 2008...

Much like so may other times before, Trump promises one thing, and delivers completely the opposite (such as his claims of eliminating the fiscal deficit, which started increasing because of republican tax cuts.)

Unfortunately, things like Trade deficits are not something that gets a lot of attention from voters.

Maybe the beauty parlor owner should be US president. Couldn't do a worse job than you.

I don't know what authority you're talking about nor what they did. Please explain.

Don't forget...
- Taking money from military projects (some that were meant to improve the lives of military families) in order to fund his wall.
- Increasing military deployments to the middle east, not because there is a security issue but because Saudi Arabia is paying

(And the article also mentions Trump not giving a speech in France to commemorate vetrans because the rain would mess up his hair.)

I got a haircut today. Mask throughout - I put it on in the car as usual. Almost everyone around here wears one outdoors downtown. I held the mask on when they did around the ears.

Here is the memo itself. I'm biased but I hear Steven Miller talking as I read it.

You'll enjoy this: The guideline for taking action is .... wait for it .... two weeks.

Bahahahahahaha.

Fox ran the story, Tucker Carlson amplified it, the salon owner is making money off it plus she's a Trump supporter, a twofur for her, Pelosi had to respond that it was a set-up... so yeah it is all over the news.

But it belongs in the 2020 election thread so I'll copy paste this post over to there.

The CDC. Not only handing ammunition to downplayers by splitting up causes of death (so I've already heard all about less than 10k have died of covid, it's not serious at all) but now they've bought up a million doses of flu vaccine for Trump to hand out to whoever kisses his butt hard enough, that were supposed to be going to clinics to be dispensed there. Doses those clinics ordered last year and now suddenly aren't getting, but perhaps they might if their state's governor brown noses enough?

Commander Bone Spurs honors fallen soldiers again.

What a leader!! Jesus ******* Christ, just imagine any other president ******** on veterans the way this piece of garbage does. But he'll just call it fake news (everyone else is lying) and his idiotic sycophants will nod and drool. **** him and **** them.

Gosh, it's like God stopping the rain for his inauguration.
