Post inauguration Trump:

[Jezza]

^ Wet market or lab, China is culpable for the devastation it's caused on human life and the world economy.

[Pies4shaw]

^ Saying that is about as useful as spitting into a strong wind.

Elsewhere, I read that about 30% of Americans believe that COVID-19 was created in a laboratory. That’s more than the proportion of the voter population that voted for Trump at the last election. Food for thought, there.

Are you saying the virus was created in a laboratory? Oh. I always thought that was Trump. Really. I have pictures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuoKNZjr8_U

They now have a database, a search engine and special recognition for his “bottomless Pinocchios” (porky-pies of a high order, repeated in substance at least 20 times).

Please someone carry this farcical idiot away like dog faeces on a shovel and bury it somewhere to cover the stench.

A toddler threw a self-pitying tantrum on live television on Monday night. Unfortunately he was 73 years old, wearing a long red tie and running the world’s most powerful country.

I agree that's pretty poor.

15 falsehoods per day, he needs to lift his game, he should be over 20

[Pies4shaw]

^ You didn't read it closely enough, Stui - he's "lifted" his game recently - according to the Post, he's been averaging just over 23 claims a day fr the last 75 days. Last year, he recorded 22 day. He obviously has the runs on the board.

Tragedy becomes communist farce: Captain Coronavirus and his lackeys demanded that the IRS print his name on Coronavirus stimulus cheques. Yes, really. Not that a national testing regime be rolled out, but that his toddler-like signature be put on stimulus cheques. The ghost of Kim Jong-il would be proud. Next, to get his face on every denomination of currency as people drop dead around him.

How barking mental can a leader get before being dragged away?

The Treasury Department ordered that President Trump’s name be printed on stimulus checks being sent to millions of American workers impacted by the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, The Washington Post reported Tuesday, citing senior IRS officials.

The move, which marks the first time a president’s name will appear on a disbursement from the IRS, will reportedly cause delays for some of the $1,200 payments Congress approved in the $2 trillion stimulus package last month, two senior agency officials told the newspaper.

The Yanks have a weird system, quite different to ours. They have the same three branches of government that we do - law makers (legislature), courts (judiciary), and people who do stuff (executive).

Our executive, however, is non-political and (in theory) operates according to the law, not according to the whim of any politician. In the States, the heads of executive government are appointed by and responsible to the President. American presidents have have a lot more power than Australian or British prime ministers.

There are, however, strict limits on that power. Trump ignores them. Possibly because he doesn't understand them.

I have a brilliant idea. Two, in fact.

First, let's reduce funding to the WHO so the pandemic has more chance of killing us

Then, we can vote for someone who diminishes our healthcare, social services and environmental quality, meanwhile failing to protect us from disaster, in order to give handouts to billionaires

You mean Scotty? Good thinking that man!
