THIS is what happens...

[Roland99]

THIS is what happens when a narcissistic, greedy, sociopath with ZERO empathy “leads” the nation with an administration filled with quisling sycophants with ZERO experience at anything other than grifting and self-aggrandizing


DOW -2,031.42 -8.76%
S&P 500 -225.10 -8.30%
NASDAQ -658.98 -8.37%


The Fed just used up the last of its ammo and it won’t be enough. This is not, at heart, an economic problem. It’s a worldwide HEALTH and SECURITY problem. This admin ignored the warning signs for two months. Rejected offers of test kits from the W.H.O. Kept dismissing the crisis like it was a little sniffle. The US will end up making Italy look healthy. I hope like hell I’m wrong and come back to eat my words but all signs point to an epidemic.

It’s PAINFULLY obvious that he has NO clue as to what he’s doing.

1. And ALL OF THIS leaves the USA very vulnerable.

Very friggin' vulnerable. We quit being the most popular country in the world after the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Blackwater play date with the middle east, and things have gone down since then, in spite of Obama's amazing save.

You know who's to blame? FOX NEWS & RUSH LIMBAUGH

3. ...Koch bros, Karl Rove, Citizens United, etc.

Not in any order.

America has broken a lot of mirrors since November 1980.

11. republicans.

at the end of the day the destruction of America is the doing of republicans.

16. the Grotesque Orange Pustule reveals the disease

[barbtries]

20. what a graphic

and yet appropriate way to put it.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

21. GOP is the disease but many didn't see it before ...

Sometimes, it takes a Grotesque Orange Pustule popping up before the disease is acknowledged.

We have to survive the virus and disinfect our government just to have a chance to correct the things the GOP disease has destroyed.

Fuck these pieces of shit!!! This is on them!

2. It's a little sniffle like Traumatic Brain Injuries are a mild headache...

says the draft dodger who faked bone spurs.

4. Some of his awful moves seem deliberate

9. They sure do. ...nt

5. Here is a key statement for

a spoke on Wall Street. No one here trusts Trump anymore,all bets are off as to Market direction other than down for the next two weeks.

[Hoyt]

6. Agree that trump and his Admin are all those things, and worse. But, worldwide markets are tanking.

It's not just America, although I'm sure the global issue isn't helped by our incompetent Prez.

[Roland99]

7. Had a libertarian reply to me with this crap....

This is world wide you idiot. Who cares about Trump, look to your Governors. That is why we are a Republic. The States have the power not the Feds.

My reply:

I’m the idiot?? WTF good is it going to do if a few states go on lockdown?!

It’s need to be at federal level & would likely require help from the National Guard

It’s so ironic. Vulture capitalism will result in rationing like the proponents of it say will happen under socialism

[FiveGoodMen]

12. "Vulture capitalism will result in rationing"

As long as the vultures get first pick of everything, why should they care?

[mr_lebowski]

8. Could not have said it better ...

[keepthemhonestO]

10. unfortunately

you are correct about we are going to make Italy look great. The only saving grace is that all of these companies and all of these sports decided to SHUT IT ALL DOWN. That might help him look a bit better than he really deserves to.

They are totally unprepared and continue to butcher it up all the more.

One of my bosses voted for him and is staunch republican but admitted the other day that the government at the very top level failed.

13. My husband works with a mf45 supporter who today told him that he is satisfied with

What the orange maggot is doing. And he’s mad the schools are closed and pissed at Newsom. He thinks that the Coronavirus is a hoax and is overblown. I never wished for someone to get sick but I hope that cretin comes down with a full blown case.

[calimary]

14. This is what happens when you let the anti-government people have their way.

Anti-government = the GOP and other CONservatives.

They hate government. I’m no certified PhD on these things, but I can’t help suspecting that they’re little more than adult-size children who don’t want to be told what to do. They’re the adult-size three-year-olds stomping their little feet and hollering “NOBODY is the boss of ME!”

I bet that’s EXACTLY what and who they were when they actually were three years old.

The problem is - we simply have to have order. We have to have organized systems and rules and laws and - that dirty word - regulations in place. There HAVE TO BE guidelines and guardrails in place in the successful government and management of large masses of people, so everything in our complicated lives runs smoothly, and effectively. For the greater good. Sorry. It’s HAVE TO. What they want turns out in practicality to be total anarchy. Every man for himself. Get your own. You’re on your own.

And that goes completely counter to the idea of life in a cooperative society of many people - where the benefit of all is the top priority, and all resources and benefits are shared.

They’re adult-size children who don’t want to have to share.

They don’t want to have to think of somebody else.

They don’t want to have to worry about anybody but themselves.

They’re only in it for themselves.

My dad had a favorite expression that he seriously got joy from repeating. “IGMFU.” Pronounced “IGGum-foo.” Initials that stood for “I Got Mine, F-U.”

I have sometimes referred to the GOP as the “IGMFU party.” I think it fits perfectly. But you can’t run a country on that philosophy. At least not for long.

The GOP: totally wrong, for very very long.

15. Just for the record

The dow jones is down 30% in the last 30ish days..............

The entire economy is looking like a crash, rather than just an extremely hard landing...........

With the masses not working, there goes tax money being sent to Washington. Then what are they going to have to do anything?

And with the house and senate thinking about not coming back to work !!!!!!!!! I'm sure they are all still collecting their paychecks and fringe benefits despite the fact that a large %age of them are more than well off.....Hell, Pelosi is worth 17M.......

[Roland99]

17. S&P went from 52-week high to 52-week low in 3 weeks!

[DENVERPOPS]

19. No shit Roland, you're watching too.....Great

The worst part is we are just seeing the beginning. Both here and around the entire world.

Trump today gave an indication that the states are all on their own. He knows he gave away a trillion bucks in tax cuts to uber rich and corporations and he doesn't have any spare money left. I wouldn't expect the states can count on much from the Republican Politicians. What little they have, and all they can borrow will go to corporate welfare to bail out one industry after another.

I guess asshole isn't worried that his actions will have caused the largest senior/elderly Genocide in history. The Republicans are actually feeling pretty good about that........they were worried how they were gonna cut social security and medicare.

My father did 3+ years in Europe during WWII.....his prize he brought back was a snapshot he took of Mussolini and his Mistress hanging by their heels. We are looking at this group of Republican Fascists, and maybe they too will get theirs........

22. And what about THAT?!
