I wonder if the motorcade was a preemptive attempt to compensate for not getting discharged tomorrow morning.

Following lawful orders isn't optional. You're obligated to refuse unlawful orders. That said, I'm not sure where 'drive infected commander in chief around for a photo op' lies, beyond 'fucking stupid'.

Trump is not faking COVID. Moore is getting to be kind of a crank. He just produced a documentary fraudulently claiming that we can't do anything about climate change. I wouldn't rely on Moore for anything about reality.

Where are all of the hospitalizations for the other so called positives in his band of corrupt merry men/women? This certainly seems like a BS crazy train ride he's taking us on.

The sky is only blue because we call it blue. In fact, humans didn't have a concept of "blue" for millennia. The ancient greeks most commonly called the sky "red" because there was no name for "blue".... mostly because blue isn't a very natural color; it is extremely rare in nature, and for most of human history, could only be reproduced by crushing gemstones (lapus lazuli) or certain beetles (the beetles didn't make good, consistent dies, I think). (it's why blue was traditionally the most expensive pigment for oil painting, and why in the works of the masters and other Renaissance painters, blue is only ever used in the virgin Mary. Exclusively)
In fact, the only reason humans now call the sky "blue," is because they are trained to from childhood. (color-object association translates to novel items but, for whatever reason, association of blue-to-sky doesn't translate unless you are coached to do it).
Crazy!

Well that will clearly strengthen her case for emancipation from her delusional fucktard mother.
If Trump said the sky wasn't blue you'd believe him.

Based on your posting history if you said the sky was blue I would have to verify for myself that it wasn’t overcast. You can’t be trusted to identify or convey anything factual.
That is complete bullshit, the Obama administration handed the Trump administration a pandemic playbook and it was thrown out.

By the way, your comment is strange, because it really makes no sense in response to my post. Did you get it? Do you even have basic critical thinking skills? Just wondering.
NPR had a show about this (the sky being blue) last year, it was fascinating and hard to grasp. that pretty much eliminates texasstraggler from comprehending your response.
ASX is up a lot this morning. Too bad I'm mostly in gold stocks so no love for me.

Yeah, I'm not sure if it's in that NYer article that I posted, but on the same topic, also in NYer, there was an account of a family were the parents were a Physicist and Psychologist, I think, and being fascinated by this very topic, decided to raise their children (child), without ever teaching them "the sky's color." It's something that you actually have to do as a human because, when you think about it for a second (days, years maybe, for Texashiker), you would be hard-pressed to call the sky "blue" most days, and certainly depending on where in the world you live.
The progeny were taught their colors, including blue, and where able to identify easily, as kids do, various objects and their colors, without having to be taught: "this flower is red, this flower is yellow, that spoon is blue," etc. They could do it on their own--but when asked about the sky, it was always..."Um, clear?" Or just no answer. I think they weren't coached into calling it blue until age 6 or so, or whenever they went off to kindergarten. (why do we still use the German for that, by the way? Do think think this annoys Texashiker? ...do you think he knows that is a German word?)

I don't know about you, but I find the use of distilled elephant piss slightly more disturbing?
