Would you work for a person exactly like trump? Would you hire a person exactly like trump?Would I work the president? Absolutely. Would I work for him in my current capacity? No. Would I hire him? No. He doesn't fit my line of work. I'm an attorney.You're absolutely no fun when you're backed into a corner to defend this clown. We both know you would stay as far away from him in business as you could.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

We both know you would stay as far away from him in business as you could.You may have misunderstood my answer because I think I conceded what you were looking for. I wouldn’t want to work for Trump, or have him work for me, because the legal profession is (or should be) premised firmly in fact and law. Trump would be a terrible lawyer (and I’ve seen plenty of terrible lawyers). But Trump isn’t a lawyer. He’s a businessman turned politician. So I’m not sure what point you were trying to make, but I think I conceded what you want. I am not a blind Trump defender (there’s a thread somewhere where I’ve detailed my criticisms). I defend him against stupid attacks, of which there are many.

I write about this in my book, too, calm breeds calm, panic breeds panic. Um, you know, being an optimistic... excusing positivity and calmness in crisis is exactly how we ask our SEALs to lead.As a decorate war hero yourself, Rusty, do you disagree? I disagree that Trump has ever been an example of a leader who is positive and calm. I'm not sure if Trump has been optimistic, but I'd prefer a leader who is realistic or even cautious rather than irrationally optimistic during a pandemic, or a warOk - so Rusty disagrees with the SEALs about what the importance of confidence and optimism to leadership. Noted. I guess you would say the same for FDR. Sure wish we had been second-guessing every action back then, too. Would have worked out swell and our country sure would be the better for it.As Crenshaw notes in another portion of the interview most of you won't watch, this current whining is consistent with the liberal theme of losing their crap over things Trump says - often to pump up confidence - as opposed to his actual actions.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/colorado-governor-will-let-stay-at-home-order-expire-on-monday-as-some-businesses-begin-to-reopenColorado will start rolling back its statewide stay-at-home order on April 27. Kansas's order is in effect until at least May 3.As of today,* Colorado has 449 deaths (78/MM) and 10,106 confirmed cases (1,755/MM). Kansas has 107 deaths (36.7/MM) and 2,025 (695/MM).Kelly was the first governor in the nation to shut down schools through the end of the school year. If she does not likewise extend the stay-at-home order through the same time period, this might call into question her earlier decision, perhaps justifiably so. I hope this is not an influencing factor.*assuming these numbers are accurate, and the probably aren't, but hopefully they are at least somewhat equally flawed.
Dub gives the president of the USA all the leash he wants and praises his "optimism" but if the governor of Kansas May dates to square with school being out sense by a week you better believe he will be here to hold her feet to the fire. It's all part of his fair and balanced approach. He even has a thread somewhere where he was kind of critical of trump.

Hey, do you guys think one book is enough? No? Hmm, ok let's throw the flag in the corner and stick another book on my right
When does school end? I honestly don't know, but I'm assuming second week of May?Schools are supposed to still be shut down during the next phase of opening anyway, so I'm not sure your gotcha is as strong as you think it is.

And not a gotcha - I legit hope that isn’t influencing her decision re the stay-at-home order. It’s interesting to me that Colorado (Dem gov, worse numbers) is ahead of Kelly on this.

His followers don't really care what he says anyways. He has way bigger sins in this COVID-19 vent than using the word hoax at a rally, we can all agree with that.We should all be able to agree that Trump, and all our elected leaders, have made mistakes.We should all be able to agree that Trump was "warned" of this virus just as he was likely warned of hundreds of threats that never came to pass.We should all be able to agree that Trump downplayed the severity of the virus, just like many democrats and the media but I repeat myself did the same exact thing.We should all be able to agree that our elected leaders were making decisions based upon questionable information from China, the WHO, and other agenices, questionable and incomplete data, and the speculative models resulting therefrom.We should all be able to agree that we ought to extend our elected leaders a little bit of grace in these situations, understanding that in light of such crappy information they had to plan for the worst. But we should also all be able to agree that our elected leaders have taken actions guided by political considerations.There's a lot of things we whould be able to agree upon. Instead it's non-stop political sniping. "Oooh but Trump does it, too." Trump's finger-pointing is mainly to point out the hypocrisy of his critics. And to deservedly point the finger at China and the WHO.Have any of you actually watched the Crenshaw vid I posted? You should watch it. He covers this pretty effectively.https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1251644816611573760

Latest update showing "safe to lift restrictions" and go to containment (if state is even ready to do that) for most states way into Junehttp://www.healthdata.org/covid/updatesSeems late.
This thread really blew up today. Any new breakthroughs or news, or just political dumbassery?
