US Politics - A Society in Meltdown

Leadership: non-existent.

This speech…

:+1: we can agree on that

Amazing, next to zero info on the situation, just a roll call of companies and a whinge about the media.
Mike Pence looks practically titan-like in comparison. He must be praying like fuck for Trump to get sick and perish. Watch the god squad go if he survives this and gets into the office.

Pence is a standard republican state politician, he spoke well there, trump is as bad as biden mentally. Four great years ahead.

Sweet Caroline, uh oh oh

Debate on cnn now. Lets see how biden holds up

Jesus

And he doesn’t have to think of his own answers.

USA trying to corner the market.A business masquerading as a country.

That is actually a complete fucking disgrace

It’s mad that the cunt keeps lying in this situation, he knows no other way. At least Marie Antoinette was up front in her hatred for ordinary people.

The online reaction of Biden supporting journalists on Twitter (including the guy who wrote the Twitter message in the previous post) is very interesting. Biden lied flat out that he never tried to cut social security and Bernie called him out on it. Instead of admitting the lie, Biden supporters online round on Bernie for rightly calling out that lie.

And that’s the sort of shite they’ve been at for the entire campaign. Don’t admit that Biden has continually lied. Airbrush it from history, and round on the man who rightly calls it out. They love to call out Trump’s lies, quite rightly, but when it comes to their own guy’s lies, they’re quite Trump-like in their own way.

Biden won the debate handily. Bernie was Bernie and did well but most rational people understand Bernie can’t get anything done. He’s an ideologue, brings up great points but could never get any consensus to do anything. I do love Bernie but time for him to bow out.

Ooooft

The top White House official responsible for leading the U.S. response in the event of a deadly pandemic has left the administration, and the global health security team he oversaw has been disbanded under a reorganization by national security adviser John Bolton.

The abrupt departure of Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer from the National Security Council means no senior administration official is now focused solely on global health security. Ziemer’s departure, along with the breakup of his team, comes at a time when many experts say the country is already underprepared for the increasing risks of a pandemic or bioterrorism attack.

Ziemer’s last day was Tuesday, the same day a new Ebola outbreak was declared in Congo. He is not being replaced.

Pandemic preparedness and global health security are issues that require government-wide responses, experts say, as well as the leadership of a high-ranking official within the White House who is assigned only this role.

“Health security is very fragmented, with many different agencies,” said J. Stephen Morrison, senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “It means coordination and direction from the White House is terribly important. ”

How would you rate your performance during this crisis
