The point is that Trump is not smart enough to deploy federal power appropriately. If he viewed COVID as a real threat he would have broad national emergencies powers to deploy federal employees, military, and national guard as he saw fit to maintain public health. This includes arresting people who gather in large groups.... with appropriately large fines. The left may have whined and complained.... but if Trump had properly viewed COVID as a national emergency and taken measures to effectively eliminate it appropriately then he would have looked like a hero going in the November election.... instead of a complete failure. However Trump was not smart enough to grasp an opportunity to properly guide a national level COVID response -- in fact he made a decision to push it off on the states since it was only impacting blue states at the time and he thought it would help his re-election chances. He failed to understand that eventually COVID was going to impact red states badly -- despite being told this. The problem is that Trump still not take the COVID pandemic seriously. https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/he...sta-that-trump-refuses-to-take-the-seriously/
Yea they're a little slooow. Got to explain over and over ... and over And expect many assumptions on their part even when you do.
His grandfather was in 'the business' , so was his father , his children and his son-in-laws father , and now it looks as tho he's planning to go back. Makes sense . . . . . it's in the family blood. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note : Recipients of federal funds are NOT allowed to use the funds to promote religion. Controversial ‘Hookers for Jesus’ group to get more federal money as Bill Barr and Ivanka Trump announce anti-sex trafficking effort The Las Vegas-based group Hookers for Jesus has won a grant from the Justice Department less than a year after whistleblowers raised red flags about federal funds being awarded to the organization, Reuters reports. The complaint from union officials says the group, which is run by a born-again Christian survivor of sex trafficking and operates a safe house for adult trafficking victims, got its grant due to political favoritism. A previous Reuters report revealed that the group required residents of the safe house to go to church, complete Christian homework, and banned them from reading “secular magazines with articles, pictures, etc. that portray worldly views/advice on living, sex, clothing, makeup tips.” As Reuters points out, recipients of federal funds are not allowed to use the funds to promote religion. The group will now receive $498,764 in new federal funding, which is part of a $35 million grant to trafficking victims unveiled at the White House on Tuesday by Attorney General William Barr and Ivanka Trump.
LA Times opinion page: To the editor: The brouhaha over Bass' remarks from 10 years ago concerning Scientology only serve to highlight her naivete when it comes to presidential politics. Had she been thinking ahead, she would have arranged to have had a tryst with an adult-film actor and bragged about grabbing individuals by their crotch. She even failed to smear minorities as criminals and rapists. Clearly, Bass is out of her element. The introduction of someone with values into this race would violently throw out of alignment the aggregate moral profile we've come to associate with presidential elections. Ronald O.
