Sociotard Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 The thing is, Trumps response to the Coronavirus has been defined by underreaction, rather than overreaction. He's letting governors take most of the lead on this. I am willing to bet $20 to the charity of your choice that Trump will not suspend Habeas Corpus, suspend the Posse Comitatus act (yes, he can in response to a pandemic, per HR 5122), deploy the Marines (they aren't prohibited by Posse Comitatus), or do anything else he can legally do resembling martial law.

Lord Liaden Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Trump may be concerned that his anti-big government, pro-Second Amendment base of support would see such moves as exactly the impositions they've always feared the federal government would make if it could. I'm sure he's more than happy to let the state leaders take any heat from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaplayboy Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 45 is a painfully stupid person. Not painful for himself, but for everyone else. Unfit for the job in every possible way and on every level. Cygnia and csyphrett 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad things happen when we fantasize about political figures dying. Maybe just visits from the secret service, maybe inspire an actual homicide. Careful.

Bad things happen when we fantasize about political figures dying. Maybe just visits from the secret service, maybe inspire an actual homicide. Careful. I've reminded some people (no one I know, just people at security conferences) that, as much as you wanted to wax nostalgic of 'why doesn't anyone do anything about this', how do you think a person in question would behave if someone attempted something like that (and statistically, failed)? That's liable to have a much worse outcome for everyone. Even if someone succeeded, the blowback would not be great. Our current president is frustrating as hell. But that's one outcome I do not wax on for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Look into some of the positions Mike Pence has publicly supported, and ask yourself if you'd actually prefer the Oval Office be inherited by someone with that agenda, who's also competent to carry it out.

If I pass from handling the dollar coin some 90 year mall walker who isn't changing his routine for a little old thing like a global pandemic, there'll be no-one around here to make fun of Aquaman!
