Trump Has Got Corona!

[Sunk]

He just tweeted

// Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER! //

YMB, you're that bloke in the pub, sat in a corner spouting complete crap who everybody tolerates and nods at but then walks away saying 'what a fruitcake'.

Your ideas and postulations are laughable. Your cliched posts are a joke. Get a new scriptwriter.

As to the "nasty left" -- it would be better just to call it nasty, and leave it at that. There's no sense in attaching politics to rudeness and immorality.

[Zacs-Master]

'There's no sense in attaching politics to rudeness and immorality.'

Trump's political career is virtually based on it!

[jim360]

Indeed, but that's because of who he is as a person.

[Zacs-Master]

Erm, yes, I know. He's blustered and bullied his way in the world after having a massive leg-up from his father with very little in the way of business acumen and very little compassion which doesn't make him look good or add a few $million to his wealth.

[allenlondon]

Yes jim, but aren’t the two organically linked? All the tough, macho, blustering, posturing stuff IS the right! Look at our resident rightists.

[Zacs-Master]

Of course they are, allen. Trying to divorce politics from rudeness and immorality would be like trying to remove Ant from Dec.

[jim360]

Perhaps the way the nastiness is displayed, who it's directed at etc, is different depending on politics. I certainly object to this idea of "nasty left, noble right", or vice versa.

[jim360]

Maybe that's how politics is *now* (and always has been, to one extent or another), but it doesn't have to be this way. Maybe I'm naive but I still think it's possible to expect better from politics and politicians, even if right now we're at or near the lowest point, especially in the US.

[Zacs-Master]

It's obviously a stupid notion that one branch of politics has the exclusive rights on nastiness. Unfortunately YMB can't think beyond his ingrained prejudice and so spouts his form of bile ridden rhetoric ad naus' on here.

my throwaway comment at 8.22 was totally apolitical

[Apc2604]

What if you somewhere middling Jim, as I am?;-)

[Apc2604]

My comment was to Jim's at 13.19.

Why does YMB and TTT keep refering to the Nasty Left, When they are themselves Members and supporters of real Original " Nasty Party". The Cons.

[Apc2604]

No party is 'Nasty' There are nasty people in all parties!

[allenlondon]

Don't agree, Apc. Look at TTT, Naomi, Youngbog, Sparkly, iluvmargie, and all the others of that ilk.

Do you think they 'do' compassion? Kindness? Thought for others?

Would any of them welcome and help people in distress?

They aren't exceptional (far from it). They are what the right-wing parties are made up of. People just like that. Intellectual skin-heads, who think being hard is the way to live.

yeah this news is now official i hope he gets well soon

[Zacs-Master]

There's the rub, allen. YMB goes around calling people with differing political persuasions 'nasty' by posting some pretty nasty comments himself. He's not shrewd enough to see the irony unfortunately but that's one of the downsides of a forum such as this, everyone gets a say.

[naomi24]

Allen, you don't know any of us, you know nothing about our lives, and yet you feel justified in insulting us. So much for play the ball not the man.

[Zacs-Master]

He's bang right tho!
