Not a big fan of Biden. But Trump calling anyone else mentally lacking is like the shortest guy in the room making fun of other guys's height.

I just marvel at anyone who actually buys this BS. Exactly how much mental gymnastics does it take to say "yeah, he is completely right about this!???"

That’s trump’s main go to shot. Every time he blames someone else of something you know that’s exactly something he’s done. Fake news, lying (Fill in name), illegal foundation, the list is 100 long.  Why people continue to believe him is no longer a criticism of him.  When he “fools you twice” shame on you.

One thing this country needs is for people to understand basic logic. It’s true when we need to come together to beat a Pandemic and it’s true in the following example:

Joe Biden >> Average Joe >> Any Functioning Adult >> Average Shitty Human Being >> Trump

Looks like the Chief Justice made a quick phone call to give a little foreshadowing to the Defendant.

This is a very good develop.  That was a hyper-reactive-reflexive move by the administration and was not a fair or just regulation.

Like, my man, how many consecutive cases do you want to lose?  Are you going for the record, or...?

There will be some big, big fish to fry when the Court gets back in session, some of them still in the early stages of debate and not nearly as cut and dry as this would have been.  Hope the SC gets some good sleep for the next 60 days.  They are going to need it.

This is the exact point and purpose of such actions - wag the dog distractions for the left, center and right to be outraged by or cheer for, causing further division to distract from the pile of shit we are in regarding Covid and the economic fallout which is just starting.

Politics 101.

And the worst part - how absolutely unnecessary and exhausting it continues to be.  Imagine being one of those students who for the last week had his/her life and plans in limbo.  Just more stress and uncertainty to add on top of the Covid situation.

Glad to see that the right decision was made in the end.  I'm sure the libs will acknowledge that as well and take back their hateful claims against Don on this particular item.

Just because racist restrictions were rescinded after mass public outrage doesn't mean the administration suddenly gets off scot-free. They tried to implement those restrictions and were going to before the public outrage

"Some people's bar for giving Trump a pat on the head is really low."

THIS is what makes me SMH because it's so true, he's the fucking PRESIDENT!

You give "attaboys" to children and pets when they make the right decision after making the wrong decision. Not to a grown ass man who is supposed to the leader of the greatest country in the world.

People who rationalize this behavior are disgusting. Sorry, I meant "People ration this behaviorre digusting."

Fine, credit to Trump for halting a racist, xenophobic policy that wasn't practical in the first place.

I will then remove the same amount of credit because it was his idea to implement the racist, xenophobic policy in the first place.

Again, nobody should get credit because they changed their pants after shitting in them.

Stop using words that do not relate.  While a case could be made that the policy might be fueled by xenophobia at some level, there is nothing about the policy that could allow for a legitimate claim of racism.  This would not have effected anyone differently due to their race.

Explain how racism is involved?  I'm pretty sure citizens of this country are of all races but I could be mistaken.  You can make quite a few claims or statements of why this would be a bad policy but race does not need to be involved in that discussion.  We need to pull back on these wide cast nets and stick to a focused argument surrounding these issues.  It tends to take away credibility when there is a legitimate concern.
