Paul Bedard shilling the work of 2 bloggers?
The guy has practice gormlessly flacking…
For the first time in more than a decade, growth is projected to exceed 3 percent over the calendar year.
Do you recall in which year Grifty hit that mark?
(BTW, you noticed the bit about CALENDAR year?)
**Several detailed stories were published over the weekend outlining how slowly President Donald Trump reacted to the coronavirus outbreak. Inevitably, those kinds of stories wind up drawing attention to the personality traits that serve the president — and the nation — badly. Many of these are by now familiar: an inability or unwillingness to learn policy substance; a tendency to treat stuff he sees on TV or hears from his friends as at least as reliable as what experts are saying; a relentless focus on the daily news cycle. **
Yet what I think still isn’t appreciated enough is Trump’s appalling lack of management skills. As my Bloomberg Opinion colleague Timothy L. O’Brien has pointed out, Trump never learned to manage even moderately large organizations. The Trump Organization was pretty much whatever Trump wanted it to be. Attempting to run the federal government that way simply doesn’t work. It means that no one is attending to the many things that don’t come to the president’s personal attention, allowing fiefdoms to develop in which those with bureaucratic skill get their way, uncoordinated with anything else happening in the government. Even when Trump does attempt to take charge and give orders he often doesn’t get his way because the structure of the U.S. government means that laws, norms and interests all limit any president who tries to run things by diktat.
**The result is inevitably chaos. Add to that the general lack of interest in public policy that has characterized the Republican Party for at least the past decade, and you have an almost complete inability to govern. **
**That’s why the scariest articles over the weekend were the forward-looking ones, such as the Washington Post’s story about the overlapping task forces and poor decision-making that have left the administration, at this late date, without anything resembling a strategy for how to move past the present lockdown. Trump seems to think what’s needed is a single big decision, rather than a comprehensive plan for what comes next. Several such plans have been laid out in think-tank papers and news columns, but Trump doesn’t seem to be aware of them and there’s little sign that his administration is capable of moving ahead without him. **
Perhaps state and local governments will wind up beating Trump to the punch moving forward, just as many of them did in implementing extreme distancing measures. Perhaps that will somehow work out, if not well, at least not disastrously, with Trump eventually going along with developing best practices. I guess we can hope.
To get there, you had to overlook 1 & 2…
At least half of which went something like
noun: crowd ; plural noun: crowds
- a large number of people gathered together in a disorganized or unruly way.
“a huge crowd gathered in the street outside”
CNN: Trump retweets call to fire Fauci amid coronavirus criticism.
Trump said his retweet doesn’t matter, and the tweet was “somebody’s opinion.” The President said he did notice the “fire Fauci” hashtag before he retweeted it.
“This was a person’s view. Not everybody’s happy with Anthony. Not everybody is happy with everybody. But I will tell you, we have done a job the likes of which nobody has ever done,” Trump said.
That’s certainly chaotic…
Is Grifty pulling some kind of Presidential All-Star train?
Note the first instruction…
Trump claims he, not governors, has power over states on deciding reopening country
President Trump says both “facts” and “instinct” will influence his decision.
Nooooooooooo!
Not “instinct”!
Instict, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
OBAMA WUZ A DIKTATER!
Trump lashes out in grievance-filled briefing claiming ‘total’ authority as president
Another turgid screed attacking President Trump, this time from the Bloomberg propaganda outlet. The irony of critics ranting about the influence of big money in politics while quoting the spoon fed opinion of mega rich Michael Bloomberg or the even richer Jeff Bezos owner of the WaPo is antithetical to the idea of a free press. Bloomberg so-called news even brazenly declared it would speak no evil of Master Michael as he was trying to purchase the Presidency. Nonetheless an extended quote of bombastic opinion is presented as reasoned opinion. 
Again, where is the follow up to the attack on Trump’s decision making process for reopening the economy? Deflections to other issues and the purchased opinions of shills only serve to illustrate the weakness of the Orange man bad mindless hatred. 
Another pointless, fact free tirade in support of the indefensible.
Have you considered the possibility that the Reality TV mogul who lost 1 billion of OPM is every bit as stupid as the overwhelming evidence makes unambiguously clear?
BTW, just for the record…
List your 3 primary sources of information…
Where’s the source for this crap?
Grifty assumes ZERO responsibility…
But insists that his signature appears on the Helicopter checks…
He is so nauseatingly contemptible…
Have you considered discussing your mindless attack on President Trump’s decision making process for restarting the economy and relaxing pandemic restrictions? Oh wait, you cannot. Instead you offer up another distraction to deflect attention from your parroting opinions of the media on the porch for the mega rich. 
Two anonymous sources familiar with IcebergSlim’s comments confirmed that he plagiarizes idiots.
Padding your “Relevance Quotient”?
Yea…
As you can see, his original plan of making it all subject to his instinct having been roundly trashed, he has now pivoted to a more constitutionally consistent position…
But he has insisted on putting his name on your Porkulus check…cause he’s accountable, like that.
No. Just commenting on your favorite source of fake news.
Your concern is palpable…
Are you working that “but the sources are anonymous” squawk?
I bet there’s no chance in Hell now that you will volunteer your 3 primary sources of information, right?
