    In German scrabble, you get 17 letters, so that you have enough to finish the word. Well, the short words.

    In German scrabble the board is just a long straight line.

    Am i the only Berner That acknowledges that he’s no longer a factor in this election?

    That being said, that skit was pretty spot on. [emoji2369]

    This dude is trying hard to out -Trump El Douchey himself!

    “Even as coronavirus cases mount in Latin America’s largest nation, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has staked out the most deliberately dismissive position of any major world leader, calling the pandemic a momentary, minor problem and saying strong measures to contain it are unnecessary,” the AP reports.

    “Bolsonaro says his response to the disease matches that of President Trump in the U.S., but the Brazilian leader has gone further, labeling the virus as ‘a little flu’ and saying state governors’ aggressive measures to halt the disease were crimes.”

    None of this is mysterious

    Powerful leaders tend to be strong communicators, with high charisma, authenticity, and the TV factor. Now add to that the digital factor.

    This is also why I think you are underestimating Joe.

    He is neither dynamic, nor a strong orator like obama, but he is very authentic, empathetic and trusted. In short a lot of people like him.

    I agree he is not the strongest candidate compared to O or Bill but he only needs to be better than Trump in a few key states

    Shots are fired......El Douchey will get pissed...

    New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told CNN that he didn’t believe a possible New York quarantine was legal and that it would be a “federal declaration of war” after President Trump said he was considering such a tactic for the New York metro area coronavirus cases increase.
    Said Cuomo: “It would be chaos and mayhem. It’s totally opposite everything he’s been saying. I don’t think it is plausible. I don’t think it is legal.”
    He added: “This would be a federal declaration of war on states.”

    Apparently that was taken at 6am. That is pretty standard early rush hour traffic. And I have been through that intersection many times when the traffic looked like that both at that time and at other times of the day, non tourist season. I also happen to know where the various stores are relative to that. If it was a supply run, it does not make sense for the apparently high amount of traffic coming the other direction. That picture looks like business as usual.

    If you want to verify this, that is John Young Parkway and US 192 in Kissimmee.

    When I first heard about him having a slanging match with that union guy I thought, 'That's not wise' but, having seen it, that's exactly what people like... particularly 'ordinary' people.

    So, yes, he hasn't got that cerebral edge that Obama had but he comes across as someone that doesn't take any shit. People respect that.

    TBH that's why some people like donny tiny hands.

    yep, I started watching in the early 70s. After a few years I caught on that the Big 10 just wasn't going to win.

    You don't exactly need a cerebral edge to be POTUS

    See

    Reagan R
    Bush G Jr
    Trump D J

    In many respects it is amazing the GOP found an even stupider president than Bush

  19. You people in the States must have weird toilets. I already was baffled by looking at neighbourhoods in the states that had huge fires that left nothing standing in it's wake. Whole well to do neighbourhoods with only chimneys standing tall. What quality of buildings do you guys have overthere?

    It seems that have broken an other dire milestone with 2000 deaths from Covid19. It took more than 3 weeks for the first 1000. The next 1000 just in 2 days. :thumbsdown:
     
  21. On that note, that cuomo guy is getting alot of free campaign airwaves, isnot he? Others have to pay wagon loads of dollars to get that much prime time exposure.

    I don't think it's about quality. Just different building materials.

    American home construction = more wood, less masonry.

    European home construction = more masonry, less wood.

    These are, of course, generalities.

    I'm well aware of his age. Aren't you concerned that this portrayal of the National Democratic leadership is accurate, terribly sad and out of touch? If you aren't worried than you have freaking blinders on.
