My livelihood depends on young, healthy people on campus, in classrooms, and in the stands. I have no time for your standards of consideration and respect.

Not only are you not on the same page but you're not even in the same book.
God willing you and your students will be back on campus when the school session is scheduled to begin in the late summer/early fall. I would assume you would want people to do everything conservatively possibly that they could to make that happen. Am I right? If so, then why are you telling me you don't have time for my "standards" of consideration and respect?

You’re being played. I’m sorry you can’t see it.

If by "being played" you mean I have had multiple friends/co-workers/acquaintances lose loved ones who were not in the hospital before they contracted and died of/with (whatever word/s you choose to use) COVID-19 - you're right, I'm "being played".
If by "being played" you mean I have many health care workers who live in the same building as me, I live 2 blocks from a major hospital, and I have seen and heard what is "allegedly" going on - you're right, I'm "being played".
If by "being played" you mean I have heard first hand accounts of many phone calls and video conferences between some of our nation's governors and our Vice President - you're right, I'm "being played".
If by "being played" you mean I have a brain in my head in which I have the ability to differentiate between common sense and stupidity in terms of preventive measures to keep myself and others out of unnecessary danger - you're right, I'm "being played".
If by "being played" you mean I don't believe there is a "master script" and "They", the "one world government cabal", and Dr. Fauci are in cahoots as the Boogie men/women who are coming to get me and want to ruin my life, and your life, and everyone else's lives, who are not a part of the "master script", "They", the "one world government cabal" and the Dr. Evil/Fauci - you're right, I'm "being played".

OK HD, you're trying to tell me you're the sane one here and I'm the nut job. Got it. Duly noted.
I just hope you realize your hypocrisy in that YOU are choosing to live your life in fear and paranoia.
I won't say the fear you have in terms of your future employment isn't justifiable because I believe it is but some of the things you are claiming, I sincerely hope you have someone supportive to speak with in terms of helping alleviate your paranoia. I don't think you're going to find much support on here.

They started this charade in a March with the intent of running it through the election. They knew that if they said they were going to hold the country hostage for eight months, there would be rioting in the streets, hence this “just four more weeks” game that Fauci has been playing. It’s b.s.

Eh, have you noticed that we aren't actually being held hostage at all?

Have you noticed that Fauci just told Congress that having schools of any kind open this Fall is “out of the question”? Do you have any concept of what that would do to the economy as a whole, much less to millions of educators? What good is being able to walk in the park when you have no job?

That is absolutely not what he said. Please provide a direct quote from Fauci where you believe he said that.

You’re being played. I’m sorry you can’t see it.

So you don't believe that Trump's campaign has a plan to keep America divided so he can run on a good old fashioned "us vs. them" message to win a second term but you believe that power brokers all over the world have united from some mysterious common goal and are trying to take over the planet as an organized cabal.

You’re being played. I’m sorry you can’t see it.

So wait, is Trump in on the conspiracy too, or is he "being played" too? Or is he not firing Fauci because suddenly he cares about what the MSM thinks about him?

These are all excellent questions. Surely you don't think Psych will answer them seriously?

nor will he provide any sort of "source" for his information

I just want to put this out there.

Regardless of how they collect/fund...as a lifelong Republican....I like what I see from The Lincoln Project.

Fuckin' republican!

Call me when The Lincoln Project is found to have colluded with a foreign government &/or leaned on one of our allies to help Biden win the 2020 election. Until then,

The enemy of my enemy...

Freakin’ hilarious!

Hahaha...

What's the over/under that Trump hasn't thought through the implications of normalizing extensive investigations of former presidents?

Just got out of a presser with Trump.
I kept saying "Mr. President, Mr. President".
He finally acknowledged me and pointed at me to ask him a question.
We had the following exchange.

Me: "Mr. President".
(I'm interrupted by him)

Trump: "Who are you"?

Me: "Excellent album. Are you a big fan of The Who Mr. President"?

Trump: (confused look on his face) "Nah, I'm not really a big fan of WHO". "The World Health"....."What's your question"? Who are you with"?

Me: "I'm with nobody. I'm here by myself".

Trump: "No, I mean who are you with"? "What media organization"?

Me: "I'm not with a media organization. I am here representing the American people".

Trump: "Never heard of them". "FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS"!

Me: "Mr. President, you've never heard of the American people"? "You are their President".

Trump: "FAKE NEWS"!

Me: "Mr. President, you have referred to yourself as a stable genius".....

(Trump interrupts)

Trump: "I am a stable genius". "I know more about stable and genius than anyone." I'm the greatest stable and genius". "You can ask anyone". "Ventilators". "I gave them ventilators". "We have done more testing in this country - and we have the best tests - the best testing". Did you know we have more testing than any other country"? "I bet you didn't know that".

(I finally interrupt)

Me: "Mr. President, If I may".

(Trump interrupts)

Trump: "I know what you are going to ask me. I know you better than you know yourself".

(I interrupt)

Me: "Mr. President, you don't know me so I am unsure how you would know me better than I know myself and I don't believe you know what I am going to ask you".

(Trump interrupts)

Trump: "I know you, you're "FAKE NEWS"! "You are going to write FAKE NEWS about me".

Me: "Mr. President, my question to you is, you refer to yourself as a stable genius - do you truly believe that? I'm asking because it seems the majority of the people in the world, that know of you, feel you are an UN-stable idiot".

Trump: "CHGYNA". "Ask them". "This virus came from CHGYNA". "CHGYNA has done a terrible job". "I don't believe anything about CHGYNA". "Do you believe CHGYNA"? "CHGYNA has done nothing". "CHYGNA"! "I am very mad at CHGYNA right now".

Me: "Mr. President, you haven't answered my question - but in terms of China, did you not tweet on January 24th - “China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”.
And...... On February 7th while in North Carolina did you not say, "I just spoke to President Xi last night, and, you know, we're working on the — the problem, the virus. It's a — it's a very tough situation. But I think he's going to handle it. I think he's handled it really well. We're helping wherever we can."
Followed by a tweet later that day saying........ “Just had a long and very good conversation by phone with President Xi of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus. He feels they are doing very well, even building hospitals in a matter of only days … Great discipline is taking place in China, as President Xi strongly leads what will be a very successful operation. We are working closely with China to help"!
Followed by saying this before you boarded Marine One......... "Late last night, I had a very good talk with President Xi, and we talked about — mostly about the coronavirus. They're working really hard, and I think they are doing a very professional job. They're in touch with World — the World — World Organization. CDC also. We're working together. But World Health is working with them. CDC is working with them. I had a great conversation last night with President Xi. It's a tough situation. I think they're doing a very good job.”
Then on February 10th during a Fox interview.......... "I think China is very, you know, professionally run in the sense that they have everything under control," Trump said. "I really believe they are going to have it under control fairly soon. You know in April, supposedly, it dies with the hotter weather. And that's a beautiful date to look forward to. But China I can tell you is working very hard."

(FINALLY he interrupts me)

Trump: "FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS"!!!!!

Me: Mr. President, there is nothing fake about your saying and tweeting those words. You said and tweeted them". "It's a fact". "Are you mentally capable of understanding the difference between fact and fiction"? "Why do you deny saying things that you have said"?

Trump: "YOU'RE A LIAR"! "I NEVER SAID THAT"! "FAKE NEWS"! "OBAMAGATE"! "SLEEPY JOE"! "CRAZY NANCY"! "OBAMAGATE"! "CROOKED HILLARY"! "OBAMAGATE"! "I HAVE THE BEST NUMBERS"! "BEFORE THIS VIRUS HIT I HAD THE BEST ECONOMY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD"! "OBAMAGATE" "MY WALL"! "WINDMILLS CAUSE CANCER - THEY KILL ALL THE BIRDS"! "THE PHONE CALL WAS PERFECT"! "OBAMAGATE"!
"GET THIS GUY OUT OF HERE!!! He's FAKE NEWS"!

Me: (Shit eating grin). "Yes Mr. President, you are indeed, OUR stable genius".
(I laugh out loud - real loud).

Trump: "Next question"! (Points to Weijia Jiang - and I laugh even louder knowing this is going to be good).

I can't figure out why on earth anyone thinks that's even possible, because it is literally not.

Maybe he can change his Twitter handle and keep tweeting pretending he's president? But that is about it. Law enforcement would literally remove him from the white house if he refused to leave....just like a regular citizen.

Such a hysterical statement/idea.

(I can't tell if he joking or being sarcastic?)

Is it? If he loses, chances he'll scream "Voter fraud!" are what, 95%? Right wing media will get behind it. 44% of America will get behind it. I am curious as to what the Senate will do. Does some combination of the Senate and the Executive branch have the ability to at least delay inauguration until a full investigation is done?
