    If only.....

    2. Jed Bartlet
    [​IMG]
    Played By: Martin Sheen
    Number of Episodes: 154

    The initial plan for President Bartlet was to pop in every few episodes for a quick scene here and there – The West Wing was meant to focus on the staff instead. He went on to appear in almost every episode in the series, entirely because of how incredible the character Sorkin and Sheen created together was. Bartlet wasn’t a phantom figurehead; he was inspiring, frustrating, flawed, genius, courageous, and paternal. He’s remembered as one of the greatest fictional presidents, and deservedly so. We dream of a real commander in chief who was half the president Bartlet was.

    February 26: “We're going very substantially down, not up.”

    February 28: "The Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus….This is their new hoax."

    February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”

    March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”

    There are bad people, on both sides. More action from Trumps neo Nazi’s


    A domestic terrorism suspect in Belton, Missouri who allegedly planned to carbomb a hospital struggling with the coronavirus pandemic died while the FBI was trying to arrest him Tuesday, the agency confirmed. It is currently unclear whether FBI agents shot him or how he died.

    The news comes at a time when counterterrorism experts have warned neo-Nazi extremists adhering to ‘accelerationism’—a hyper violent doctrine among the far-right seeking to hasten the collapse of society through terrorist acts—have discussed using the global coronavirus pandemic to spur the disintegration of vulnerable governments dealing with the crisis.

    Prolife doesn’t include seniors now...

    For a few days Donald Trump tried really hard to listen to the experts and assume the role of a “Wartime President” on TV. Crucial to his performance were: a) selling America on the need to make YUGE sacrifices such as staying home and sitting on the couch; and b) pretending he wasn’t the one who had allowed the invasion to happen in the first place.

    Right-wing nutjobs, of course, were not convinced. By March 20, former Wall Street Journal editorial board member Stephen Moore was telling Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business that letting the virus run its course was a better idea “than putting 100 million or 200 million people on lockdown.”

    By Monday, March 23, Trump was already fed up with his half-finished “slowing the spread” idea, especially when he realized it had shut down his six most successful sources of emoluments.

    As Wonkette put it:

    Trump is considering shutting down the shutdowns so his re-election campaign can focus on how great the economy is after millions of Americans have died in three months. The campaign ads film themselves. This might seem like a shocking disregard for human life — even from Trump — but he reassured everyone during his daily stock-market tanking presser that he totally gives AF whether we live or die.

    Perhaps they’ll gather all the over 60 repugnants and put them in one room with a coughing donor.

    So Trump called A-Rod to ask him for advice about Covid19 and what he should do. The media pointing this out as foolish or dangerous. Look Trump always call on his friends & others before he makes a announcement or decide on issues. Trump talking to A-Rod is nothing new. The fact that it became public has raised eyebrows. A President can call whoever he wants to. If he wants to hurt himself let him.

    Side note, but I did not know that A-Rod was his friend, given that Trump publicly mocked him as a "druggie" a few years back.
