Jails and nursing homes are places you do not want to be right now. If you get one case, everyone gets it.

DURING the Presidency? It would be eye-opening as Trump is the first President in HISTORY to refuse to separate out his personal wealth and interests from the office of the Presidency. He's also the first to set his personal travel and activities around enriching his own wealth. But then again he'd get on TV and say this wasn't happening despite all of the paperwork showing he is, and then someone would show a meme about Clinton and/or Obama and half the country would buy it like usual.

ESPN: MLB looking at May start, all games in AZ, several changes
Also worth pointing out for the record, they didn't stop playing baseball during WWII.

The one I am waiting for is the suggestion of putting off the election because of safety considerations.

The post mortem on this will be fascinating. There is no chance we get an accurate tally on cases and deaths while we are going through this. It will be interesting when we have historical perspective to see how close and accurate that we are.

Its funny that it took this short of a time to get figured out.

Yeah, you don't get to pretend this isn't a thing.

That's the irony here. The Trump family fortune is very much because of the government. Fred Trump made his money on section 8 housing. Donald enhanced his fortune with tax fraud to launder money from his father to the kids. He also took tons of government money in all of his building projects. Now he is office and pushing public and campaign funds through his businesses so that he can be the 1st President in his to profit off of the office WHILE STILL IN OFFICE. He quite literally is the second generation of welfare queen in his family. The difference is the Trump scope is in the billions instead of thousands like most of the people he looks down on. The best part is the cult army that makes excuses for him, while seeing their paychecks laundered to him.

Funny, as a person pretty firmly in between the two parties, it is exactly this kind of stuff that drove me out of the GOP after decades. I can't support a party that is afraid to even sort of criticize their leader out of fear. Nope as soon as it starts, the denizens start in on Obama or Clinton. It is disgusting.

No need to excuse it.

I get a kick out of the need to deflect everything about the Dear Leader back to something bad about the black guy or woman.

Honestly to take this a step further, it's when someone close to them dies that the people who are downplaying this will take notice. Numbers are abstract for most people. Say 10,000 dead people and it might not mean anything. Say Grandma is dead, it is a different story.

**Water-Cooler Thread (TV stuff)**
Another one I am excited to see return is Billions. Though i will say I never realized that Damian Lewis was British. I saw him on Smithsonian Channel doing some show about spies and it took them actually showing his face for me to realize it was him. It was the same with Hugh Laurie. I never realized he was a native Brit until I saw him on SNL.

It was a nice vacation, but it is also nice to be interacting with this group at this time.

Plus as was said earlier, we have the King of Arizona in Adam Engel.

Honestly, this makes a ton of sense. It is one of the very few things he has been consistent on throughout this time period. It also follows from when he tried to buy another potential cure/treatment in Germany previously. We all know this President is perfectly willing to profit off of the backs of the American people, and he will disregard conflict of interest to do it. There might not be any proof out there at this time, but his actions sure open him up to a higher level of scrutiny and suspicion than literally every single other American President in history who divided their personal interests into a separate and untouchable trust while they were President to avoid conflict of interest. Trump doesn't get that benefit of the doubt because of his own actions to this point.

This is exactly where I am. They can play on the back fields in Arizona with no fans at all, but if there is a game on the TV, I will be thrilled.

So where did all of the "let's work together" and "why tear him down?" people disappear to? Again, leadership starts at the top. maybe if the President focused on uniting us as a nation, the nation wouldn't be so divided?
-

Yep. But we can't discount that he would make decisions to benefit himself instead of the country because we have seen that he is perfectly willing to profit from his Presidency.

Yet this administration is rushing to shove money at companies who refuse to register inside of the United States because they don't want to follow our laws.

This is pathetic. Come back when you have a quality critique.

We need to start adding Ron Howard voice overs to Trump pressers. For example: Reporter asks Trump about some he previously said. Trump denies he said it. Howard voice over: He said it.

RIP Ed Farmer
I wish I could remember who said it, but whoever was the producer in the studio that night told the story on twitter yesterday. Basically Ed went to commerical for the station ID, meanwhile PK steps up and first pitch granny. They get back as he is rounding 3rd base, and then Farmer improves the call as if it happened live.
