Trump's Katrina will be a deadly pandemic.

The pandemic is going to create a psychotic break among conservatives worse than the one they're having now. They've argued that government is the problem, Trump is the solution, and now there's a real time test of that theory while Dem governors get things done. This is going to set up a cognitive dissonance that might be too much even for the most mushy-brained GOPers.

"See! Government is evil! Democracy is broken!"
"But it's your guy in charge."
"..."

This is why we're about to be flooded with even *more* conspiracy theories. The only way the Trump cult will square this circle is by setting up the explanations you see them concocting already:
- Inflate death estimates, then claim Trump saved millions
- blame China
- blame Fauci and the doctors
- blame the Deep State (see "Fauci and the doctors")

This will work for Rube Nation, who will bury grandma while cursing Obama and Xi and Fauci. But it's going to be a tough sell to anyone who isn't glued to Fox all day. Trump will always have his 40% , but this really is the last stop in Crazy Town for what's left of the GOP. And it'll be *really* hard to square Trump's "I alone can fix it" talk when we look back at Dem governors vs the GOP Trump Choir. (With some exceptions: DeWine.) This whole thing is already wrecking carefully constructed GOP and Trumpist narratives. A silver lining, I guess.

Žal je 40% več kot dovolj za zmago.

Trump in administracija svetuje uporabo mask, on sam pa:

I just don't want to wear one myself. They say 'recommendation', they recommend it. I'm feeling good.

I just don't want to be doing - somehow sitting in the Oval Office behind that beautiful Resolute Desk, the great Resolute Desk, I think wearing a face mask as I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, I don't know, somehow I don't see it for myself. Maybe I'll change my mind, but this will pass, and hopefully it will pass very quickly.

Aha, ob sedanjih ukrepih brez dvoma že jutri. /s

Sanders ne bo podpredsednik, establishment ne bo tvegal da bi lahko bil Bernie predsednik. Mislim da bo VP najverjetneje zenska, E. Warren ali K. Harris. Mozno je pa tudi, da na volilni konvenciji niti ne izberejo Bidna,
ampak izberejo nekoga tretjega, omenja se Andrew Cuomo.
Trump bi po vsej verjetnosti imel lahko delo z Bidnom, vendar bo totalna polomija Trumpa z covid19 premesala karte, tako da je vse mozno.

Exit Polls: Bernie Sanders Was Robbed Again

Factcheck.org: No ‘Huge Red Flag That Fraud Occurred’ in Mass. Primary

A misleading tweet casting doubt on the integrity of the primary elections on Super Tuesday got more than 34,000 likes and has migrated to Facebook as a meme.

...

The tweet originated on an account that frequently posts in support of Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is currently in second place in the delegate count behind Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination. Asked what the claim was based on, Lisa Pease, who runs the account, sent us a link to a website called TDMS Research.

...

Theodore de Macedo Soares, who runs the site and wrote the post, told us in an email that he intentionally used the numbers from when the polls were closing instead of the final polling numbers.

Si pa našel 'pričo' 8-) Užaljenko, ki še danes misli, da je Sanders odgovoren za njen poraz na volitvah 2016, čeprav jo je po vseh goljufijah DNC podprl in izvajal predvolilne shode v njeno podporo. Jaz tega nikoli ne bi naredil.

While a member of Congress, Sanders sponsored 15 concurrent resolutions and 15 Senate resolutions.[115] Of those he co-sponsored, 218 became law.[116][117] While he has consistently advocated for progressive causes, Politico wrote that he has "rarely forged actual legislation or left a significant imprint on it."[118] According to The New York Times, "Big legislation largely eludes Mr. Sanders because his ideas are usually far to the left of the majority of the Senate… Mr. Sanders has largely found ways to press his agenda through appending small provisions to the larger bills of others."[119] During his time in the Senate, he had lower legislative effectiveness than the average senator, as measured by the number of sponsored bills that passed and successful amendments made.[120] Nevertheless, he has sponsored over 500 amendments to bills,[121] many of which became law. The results of these amendments include a ban on imported goods made by child labor; $100 million in funding for community health centers; $10 million for an outreach program for servicemembers suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, depression, panic attacks, and other mental disorders; a public database of senior Department of Defense officials seeking employment with defense contractors; and including autism treatment in the military healthcare program.[122]

Ja, res je bil neuspešen, saj ni mogel spraviti skozi predpisov v dobro ljudi in ni podpiral predpisov, ki so bili v škodo ljudi. Zame sta to redko videna načelnost in konsistentnost v svetu, ki ga ženejo lobiji in denar.

Še enkrat ponavljam vprašanje, kaj je sploh naredil do sedaj?


These are just some of Bernie Sanders' accomplishments:

? Elected by the state of Vermont 8 times to serve in the House of Representatives.

? The longest-serving independent in U.S. congressional history.

? He was dubbed the "amendment king" in the House of Representatives for passing more amendments than any other member of Congress.

? Ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee.

? Former student organizer for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).

? Led the first ever civil rights sit-in in Chicago history to protest segregated housing.

? In 1963, Bernie Sanders participated in MLK's Civil Rights March. One of only 2 sitting US Senators to have heard MLK's "I have a Dream Speech" in person in the march on Washington, DC.

? Former professor of political science at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and at Hamilton College.

? Former mayor of Burlington, VT. In a stunning upset in 1981, Sanders won the mayoral race in Burlington, Vermont's largest city. He shocked the city's political establishment by defeating a six-term, local machine mayor. Burlington is now reported to be one of the most livable cities in the nation.

? Co-founded the Congressional Progressive Caucus and chaired the group for its first 8 years.

? Both the NAACP and the NHLA (National Hispanic Leadership Agenda) have given Sanders 100% voting scores during his tenure in the Senate. Earns a D- from the NRA.

? 1984: Mayor Sanders established the Burlington Community Land Trust, the first municipal housing land-trust in the country for affordable housing. The project becomes a model emulated throughout the world. It later wins an award from Jack Kemp-led HUD.

? 1991: one of a handful in Congress to vote against authorizing US military force in Iraq. "I have a real fear that the region is not going to be more peaceful or more stable after the war," he said at the time.

? 1992: Congress passes Sanders' first signed piece of legislation to create the National Program of Cancer Registries. A Reader's Digest article calls the law "the cancer weapon America needs most." All 50 states now run registries to help cancer researchers gain important insights.

? November 1993: Sanders votes against the Clinton-era North American Free Trade Agreement. Returning from a tour of factories in Mexico, Sanders says: "If NAFTA passes, corporate profits will soar because it will be even easier than now for American companies to flee to Mexico and hire workers there for starvation wages."

? July 1996: Sanders is one of only 67 (out of 435, 15%) votes against the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act, which denied federal benefits to same-sex couples legally married. Sanders urged the Supreme Court to throw out the law, which it did in a landmark 2013 ruling - some 17 years later.

? July 1999: Standing up against the major pharmaceutical companies, Sanders becomes the first member of Congress to personally take seniors across the border to Canada to buy lower-cost prescription drugs. The congressman continues his bus trips to Canada with a group of breast cancer patients the following April. These brave women are able to purchase their medications in Canada for almost one-tenth the price charged in the States.

? August 1999: An overflow crowd of Vermonters packs a St. Michael's College town hall meeting hosted by Sanders to protest an IBM plan to cut older workers' pensions by as much as 50 percent. CBS Evening News with Dan Rather and The New York Times cover the event. After IBM enacts the plan, Sanders works to reverse the cuts, passing a pair of amendments to prohibit the federal government from acting to overturn a federal district court decision that ruled that IBM's plan violated pension age discrimination laws. Thanks to Sanders' efforts, IBM agreed to a $320 million legal settlement with some 130,000 IBM workers and retirees.

? November 1999: About 10 years before the 2008 Wall Street crash spins the world economy into a massive recession, Sanders votes "no" on a bill to undo decades of financial regulations enacted after the Great Depression. "This legislation," he predicts at the time, "will lead to fewer banks and financial service providers, increased charges and fees for individual consumers and small businesses, diminished credit for rural America and taxpayer exposure to potential losses should a financial conglomerate fail. It will lead to more mega-mergers, a small number of corporations dominating the financial service industry and further concentration of power in our country." The House passed the bill 362-57 over Sanders' objection.

? October 2001: Sanders votes against the USA Patriot Act. "All of us want to protect the American people from terrorist attacks, but in a way that does not undermine basic freedoms," Sanders says at the time. He subsequently votes against reauthorizing the law in 2006 and 2011.

? October 2002: Sanders votes against the Bush-Cheney war in Iraq. He warns at the time that an invasion could "result in anti-Americanism, instability and more terrorism." Hillary Clinton votes in favor of it.

? November 2006: Sanders defeats Vermont's richest man, Rich Tarrant, to be elected to the U.S. Senate. Sanders, running as an Independent, is endorsed by the Vermont Democratic Party and supported by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

? December 2007: Sanders' authored energy efficiency and conservation grant program passes into law. He later secures $3.2 billion in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for the grant program.

? September 2008: Thanks to Sanders' efforts, funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funding doubles, helping millions of low-income Americans heat their homes in winter.

? February 2009: Sanders works with Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley to pass an amendment to an economic recovery bill preventing Wall Street banks that take taxpayer bailouts from replacing laid-off U.S. workers with exploited and poorly-paid foreign workers.

? December 2009: Sanders passes language in the Affordable Care Act to allow states to apply for waivers to implement pilot health care systems by 2017. The legislation allows states to adopt more comprehensive systems to cover more people at lower costs.

? March 2010: President Barack Obama signs into law the Affordable Care Act with a major Sanders provision to expand federally qualified community health centers. Sanders secures $12.5 billion in funding for the program which now serves more than 25 million Americans. Another $1.5 billion from a Sanders provision went to the National Health Service Corps for scholarships and loan repayment for doctors and nurses who practice in under-served communities.

? July 2010: Sanders works with Republican Congressman Ron Paul in the House to pass a measure as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform bill to audit the Federal Reserve, revealing how the independent agency gave $16 trillion in near zero-interest loans to big banks and businesses after the 2008 economic collapse.

? March 2013: Sanders, now chairman of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, and backed by seniors, women, veterans, labor unions and disabled Americans, leads a successful effort to stop a "chained-CPI" proposal supported by Congressional Republicans and the Administration to cut Social Security and disabled veterans' benefits.

? April 2013: Sanders introduces legislation to break up major Wall Street banks so large that the collapse of one could send the overall economy into a downward spiral.
? August 2014: A bipartisan $16.5 billion veterans bill written by Sen. Sanders, Sen. John McCain and Rep. Jeff Miller is signed into law by President Barack Obama. The measure includes $5 billion for the VA to hire more doctors and health professionals to meet growing demand for care.

? January 2015: Sanders takes over as ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, using the platform to fight for his economic agenda for the American middle class.

? January 2015: Sanders votes against the Keystone XL pipeline, which would allow multinational corporation TransCanada to transport dirty tar sands oil from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.

? March 2015: Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) introduced legislation to expand benefits and strengthen the retirement program for generations to come. The Social Security Expansion Act was filed on the same day Sanders and other senators received the petitions signed by 2 million Americans, gathered by the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.

? September 2015: Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.), Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) and Rep. Bobby L. Rush (D-Ill.) introduced bills to ban private prisons, reinstate the federal parole system and eliminate quotas for the number of immigrants held in detention.

? January 2016: Sanders Places Hold on FDA Nominee Dr. Robert Califf because of his close ties to the pharmaceutical industry and lack of commitment to lowering drug prices. There is no reason to believe that he would make the FDA work for ordinary Americans, rather than just the CEOs of pharmaceutical companies.

friendly reminder in times of uncertainty and misinformation: anecdotes are not data. (good) data is carefully measured and collected information based on a range of subject-dependent factors, including, but not limited to, controlled variables, meta-analysis, and randomization

outliers attempting to counter global consensus around this pandemic with amateur reporting or unverified sourcing are not collecting data. breaking news stories that only relay initial findings of an event are not collecting data. we have to be careful in our media consumption

it can be difficult to know what to believe in a time when institutional trust is diminished and the gatekeepers of information have been dismantled, but it's more crucial now than ever before to follow a range of credentialed sources for both breaking news and data collection

all we currently have are limited and evolving metrics that experts are deciphering and acting upon immediately to the best of their ability. this terrain leaves many openings for opportunists and charismatic manipulators to lead people astray by exploiting what they want to hear

breaking news and storytelling will always be spun with interpretive bias from different media perspectives, but data is a science that can't be replaced by one-off anecdotes. try to remember this to avoid fear-based sensationalism or conspiracy theories taking over your mind

you can maintain independent, critical thinking toward institutions without dipping into fringe conspiracies that get jumpstarted by individual anecdotes being virally spread as data. it's not easy, but it's necessary to keep any semblance of responsible online information flow

we're a frozen meat brand posting ads inevitably made to misdirect people and generate sales, so this is peak irony, but hey we live in a society so please make informed decisions to the best of your ability and don't let anecdotes dictate your worldview ok

Kako zastavljat vprašanja Trumpu s stani profesorja retorike. Nekompletna nit spodaj.

https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status...

This thread explains why most journalists tasked with questioning Trump fail. It's written by a professor who not only teaches journalism but also rhetoric and composition—the latter two topics the crux of the problem for many journalists. I hope you'll read and RETWEET.

We start with the obvious and easily understood part: Trump only permits himself to be questioned as frequently as he does because he has no intention of answering any of the questions asked. The questions exist merely as opportunities for him to say whatever he wants to say. So as an interviewee, Trump doesn't much analyze a question's *content*; rather, he listens to a question merely to determine—and this is key—the *earliest possible moment he can interrupt his interviewer* and begin speaking about whatever it is that *he* wants to speak about.

But Trump's Achilles heel—as ever—is his *vanity*. He does *not* want to *appear* unwilling to answer certain questions, or to be cowed by any question, so he can only interrupt questioners at what he considers a *marginally* socially acceptable point to stage an interruption. Here's the rub: social conventions for interruption—once we get beyond the fact that interrupting is *almost* always wrong—draw a *bright line* between interrupting someone who is still forming a thought and interrupting someone who has already formed at *least* one thought. This aspect of social convention *works against professional journalists*. The reason? Journalists are trained to ask questions in a way that situates their interviewee within a *context*, first. So they often start with a context-setting statement that outlines basic facts.

So a White House correspondent may begin a question this way:

"Mr. President, you spoke yesterday about the Navy ship that just reached New York City—"
INTERRUPTION!
Trump can now *interrupt*, as a thought has been formed. He can now talk about the ship the way *he* wants.

So what mistake did the journalist make? The journalist failed to use what grammarians call the "periodic sentence." A periodic sentence is a sentence *that doesn't achieve grammatical completion until almost the very end of the sentence*. It's a journalist's best friend, now. When you use a "periodic sentence," you don't complete a thought until the *very end* of your sentence—which makes it almost impossible for a chronic interrupter to interrupt you, because (a) it's not socially acceptable, and (b) they *don't know where your question is going*.

So let's try out a periodic sentence to see if it frustrates the {INTERRUPT} moment that a chronic dissembler, misinformer, and—yes—interrupter is waiting for to break into his questioner's presentation of facts/data and shift focus, instead, to whatever *he* wants to discuss.

"Mr. President, many Americans get very confused when you—in discussing the virus and the work of America's governors—react to the data you see in individual states by attaching to lower infection and death figures the idea that lower figures mean a governor is 'doing well.'"

Because the president's language use is at a fifth-grade level, and because he fears appearing scared of any question, the likelihood he has *any clue whatsoever* as to where to interrupt *that* sentence is virtually zero.
And while he's working *that* out, the journalist hits him with *another* periodic sentence: "Do you understand that it's government policies, rather than raw figures, that—when you're analyzing how an executive like yourself is doing—have to be assessed?" Those two sentences can be written out by a journalist in advance.

The goal is for the journalist to take two minor "hits" to their *usual* journalistic practice—(1) the form in which they ask questions, (2) an aversion to pre-writing questions—for the purpose of both grammatically and socially frustrating a dangerously talented interrupter.

If journalists don't start (a) using periodic sentences, and (b) writing out questions so they can reflexively use more difficult syntax and sentence structure to frustrate an interviewee with fifth-grade reading comprehension, they will continue to fail in questioning Trump. But don't take my word for it: I urge you to watch White House pressers in the coming days and *hear* how frequently journalists "set context" early on in a way that *facilitates* the interruption of their own questions. I *promise* you'll become (even more) infuriated.

The alternative option comes from another area I teach, pre-law—specifically, in the way attorneys are trained to cross-examine witnesses. In cross-examination, you make a *statement* (you don't ask a question) that focuses on *one fact* and *requires* a "yes" or "no" answer.

So the "legal" rather than "grammatical" solution to Trump's transparent interruption strategy is to ask a) *very* short "questions" that b) are in fact *statements* and thus c) give him no *time* to interrupt before the "question"—which is really a statement—has been made. For instance: "Mr. President, you *know* there's no connection between the raw coronavirus data in a given state and how well the state's governor is doing?" Trump will be so taken aback by being cross-examined—"questioned" via *statement*—he will be profoundly wrong-footed. Trump's brain processes things so slowly that if you ask a "question" like the one I proposed, he'll likely rely instinctively on his lame anti-media posture and say, "Well, I don't agree" before even understanding your statement (which you will have made sure *is* correct). At *that* point you *will* have news to report, because you will have just gotten the U.S. president to say that it's not the policies an executive sets for his territory but simply *raw infection data* that determines success—which *is* what he believes (and it's *wrong*).

I won't turn this into a thread on cross-examination—its own fascinating topic—but yes, the way TV depicts cross-examination *isn't* how it works. What you do is throw a *statement* at the witness—with no question mark—in a context in which they must respond "yes" or "no."

fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist.

Zanimiv tweet s kar nekaj zanimivimi komentarji (ne mislim na tiste o teorijah zarote):
https://twitter.com/MaxBlumenthal/statu...

WATCH: Trump announces a "hold" on money going to the WHO, calls them "China centric."
"They missed the call. They could have called it months earlier ... they should have known. And they probably did know."

On 1/30/20, the WHO declared a global health emergency following the first known transmission of #COVID in the US. Trump's CDC director Redfield said in response, "Our assessment remains that the immediate risk to the American public is low."


Trump išče vse možne načine, da bi odvrnil pozornost od lastne nesposobnosti.

Daj nehaj lagati s tem "hoax", ker je laž.

During a Feb. 28, 2020, campaign rally in South Carolina, President Donald Trump likened the Democrats' criticism of his administration's response to the new coronavirus outbreak to their efforts to impeach him, saying "this is their new hoax." During the speech he also seemed to downplay the severity of the outbreak, comparing it to the common flu

What's False
Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax.

What just happened in the Trump-Crozier-Modly affair? Historians have seen this before. In authoritarian regimes, bureaucracies do not exist to function efficiently. They exist to serve the desires of the Leader.

But what if the leader is a capricious sociopath?

In order to succeed as a bureaucrat in such a regime, you must always strive to please the leader. In the absence of coherent plans and a policy process, you have to guess: "How can I please the leader, while also enhancing my own power in the hierarchy?"

In this case, Capt Crozier embarrassed Trump by announcing that his ship was facing a health crisis, and that the DoD was doing nothing about it. A second-tier bag-carrier named Thomas Modly, acting SecNav, sees that he is well-placed to maneuver for maximum visibility. Relieving Capt Crozier is going to win him plaudits from the leader. But humiliating Crozier will be even more delicious! Modly piles on, flying half-way around the world to publicly denounce Crozier in front of his former crew. He does an ugly, sniveling victory dance.

But Modly has misjudged. His antics have embarrassed the leader. Modly has made Trump look weak, cruel, vindictive. Modly must go. He is fired. Who wins? Trump, of course. He will declare he has 'rescued' good ol' Cap't Crozier from the knaves in the deep state. Look for Trump to pivot quickly, with lots of pompous talk about "my military."

Who loses? DefSec Esper. He too misjudged the leader’s wishes. To survive, he'll be asked to prove his worth by undertaking some further outrage on behalf of the leader. And he’ll accept his punishment as the only path to redemption. The struggle goes on.

Bernie Sanders is ending his second bid for the presidency, the campaign staff was informed on a conference call Wednesday morning, according to campaign sources. Sanders's departure from the race comes a day after the state of Wisconsin went forward with a controversial in-person election, which Sanders had called to be postponed.
