Aristides Posted January 23, 2021 Report Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Maybe he has more important things to do. It’s why presidents have things like press secretaries. Edited January 23, 2021 by Aristides Quote
DogOnPorch Posted January 23, 2021 Report Posted January 23, 2021 More important than saluting the Marines? He clearly didn't KNOW he had to... 1 Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

Yeah, like the Major on Fawlty Towers. Offensive, but hilarious. I wonder if other cultures have humour that would specifically offend me. I'm sure they must. But thread drift. CA is lurking. Quote

Having a plan doesn't mean the plan will eliminate the problem immediately. Plans usually take time to roll out, to hire people and put them into their roles, to get staff, to open offices, to make arrangements across governments. You can't open hospitals in a day or produce more vaccine in a week.

Argus Posted January 23, 2021 Report Posted January 23, 2021 4 minutes ago, DogOnPorch said: Today...? Are you kidding? It's one of those things that would be nice to know but not really high on the list. I mean, understanding how government works would be higher. So would understanding the constitution, and how laws are made, what countries are your enemies and which are your friends, how economies work, how trade works, the legal limitations of your job and power, the importance of knowing and understanding national security information... How to read. So, it's good that the Americans now have a president who understands all that. Because it was obvious the last one didn't. Even if he understood social media.

He didn't know how to effectively use it to his advantage . . . . his responses were usually emotion based, reactionary, and far too many. This, combined with his personal image (needing a haircut, frequently frowning, etc.) worked against him. A well spoken presentable President would be foolish not to learn what's acceptable to the voting public. 1 Quote

Infidel Dog Posted January 23, 2021 Report Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Petros, you make a lot of claims about other people or organizations to conclude nobody should be allowed to consider them. And the only source you give is a site that supposedly ``fact checks`` bias and I find kind of biased. So tell me then what makes you such an authority? Why are we to consider your opinion so superior to say Tucker Carlson. He at least double-checks his sources and for that matter has some. Edited January 23, 2021 by Infidel Dog Quote
