    I have no problem with Trump hotels being treated exactly the same as other businesses with a less odious different name on them.

    But he still should have divested.

    That's every bit as true in Ohio.

    @George-K said in PSA: You can skip RMDs in 2020:

    Nevertheless, it's nice that you can save a bit extra until you're 72.

    I have had an inherited IRA since my father died in 2011. So despite being a youngster of 51 this applies to me too.

    We see the bats during the summer in our field at dusk, flying around catching the mosquitoes.

    Sometimes, I go out there and throw pebbles up in the air and watch them swoop down, catch them and then release it. Great fun with an adult beverage in hand.

    @jon-nyc said in Meanwhile in Illinois...:

    Telling the electorate what they want to hear then doing the opposite because that’s what the donors want has never happened before?

    As far as this issue, things may have changed a mite.

    I doubt he does.

    Really, this is one the media has only ever distorted so people genuinely believe he was saying there were nice people among the tiki wielding demonstrators.

    Yes but if the blue angels practice social distancing with their planes the shows won’t be nearly as exciting.

    LOL good point. They’re known for flying within 6 inches of each other or something... BAD EXAMPLE FOR T3H KIDS.

    Looks very much like Trump touted Hydroxychloroquine & Azithromycin.

    @jon-nyc said in 4 weeks earlier than thought.:

    @George-K

    What is the ‘everyone knew’ narrative and how does this blow it up?

    I think this speaks to the "Trump was to slow to act" political narrative. Combine this with Fauci's statements about cruise ships, etc. and it's pretty evident we weren't quite as asleep at the wheel as some pols would make it.

    The response has not been stellar in some ways, in other ways it has. Most has been ok, when you consider what government is and how it moves.
