As the current meme says. For all of you who bought TP but don’t know how to fight? You just bought that for me so thank you :D

It's no wonder he and his brother don't get along. Jonathon is a good guy.
He offered him the Secretary of Education job. But Junior didn’t wanna take a pay cut. Look it up. True story

So can Trump count on your vote? :D
No, that's what Junior "said". There was no independent reporting as I recall that said that. I wondered at the time if Junior was just trying to save face because he didn't get an offer.

And no, not voting for Trump until he comes to take Jerry away, away. :)

I know you won't agree, but I see people on both sides trying to make this some kind of political thing.

I probably see more people on the right making it political because the majority of my network leans to the right.

I haven't seen the majority of people I connect with (the center) making it political.

The left is making it very political as well.
I think it depends on how you look at it. Clearly those who support the president tend to trust him a bit more and that this will all blow over sooner rather than later. So they are a bit quicker to snap at those who don't have the same faith. On the flip side, Democrats want the presidency and are unquestionably using this as a way to try to gain ground politically.

If it wasn't an election year then maybe it wouldn't be quite as bad but it's pretty bad.

The good news is the administration is acting more appropriately and there are some pretty smart people on the team so I do have hope but it is far too early to really tell.


I've also been told by someone on here that I don't take a stand on anything, so what do I know? :D
Oh, most definitely. I've seen folks on the far left talk about every little move by Trump and how terrible it is. And they lose credibility that way. I literally read an opinion piece from calling out Trump for not differentiating between the Alphabet company and Google.

Then the folks on the right who are skeptical of the media thought this thing was a farce to begin with because #fakenews. Many still do and are only accepting it because people they look up to are accepting and acknowledging it.

It's sort of funny to watch both sides lose their minds from a place in the middle.

It is too bad it took the governor to step in for Liberty to make the changes because now students all have to come back to Lynchburg at some point to get their stuff from the dorms. Jerry put Liberty in a bad situation and these are the kinds of things other colleges were thinking of.

I don't believe he did, regardless, If he said it, I wouldn't believe him. :lol:

Seriously, I don't recall anyone reporting that based on a quote from anyone in the administration or a reporter getting an unofficial head's up. That's what my thoughts were at the time...I don't recall anything changing them.

You know I couldn't believe Trump. :)

I never remember that being reported by any source in the administration or a reporter with a head's up. Those were my thoughts then and I don't recall anything facts changing them.

The UK is taking a very different approach to the virus, and it will be fascinating to see how outcomes compare. They are focusing intensely on quarantining the at-risk population (for up to 4 months) while basically telling everyone else to go on with life pretty much as usual. The theory is that the young and healthy will spread it around. Some will get sick, but only a few seriously, and almost noone will die. Meanwhile, the population will develop a "herd immunity" to the virus.

Do you only poop when Jerry lets you outside or do you poop in the house too?

This will be over by then. And we will be looking back wondering why we took all these precautions but glad we did because the death toll won’t reach the apocalyptic levels people on TV are predicting

Not at all. Actually got a good chuckle from it .... Christians don't all come out of the same cookie cutter. Hanging around Purple taught me that. My cutter resembles JR's more than you're comfortable with. :D
