Sounds like to me they are on the same page. In fact it appears they are changing how America handles these outbreaks in the future. Crazy thing a lot of countries are following suit. Interesting?

So gullible
60 million Americans were infected with the swine flu resulting in 274,304 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths. No media panic no trashing the president Barack Obama and no travel ban. Yet Iām supposed to trust you guys? Iāll pass. Iām not like the black Americans believing in And showing loyalty to a Dem party that has done nothing for them in The history of this country. Other than show up every four years to get your vote.
Just sad
What is really sad? You guys are hoping trump fails. So many Americans can die. So you can get a president more to your liking. So sad
Ah I love you guys. Nothing like voting for a president that doesnāt know where he is half the time or who he his talking too. Yet somehow you are going to teach me? Um Iāll pass sorry guys

I suppose if you grow up in a nepotistic environment, you might have a world view that a Ph.D. is inheritable... Just like all the other resources and entitlements.
Sorry had to respond. Itās you and your party that is offering out gifts with no way to pay for them. You know entitlements?
@approxinfinity im not getting updates? Or I would have responded sooner
And what would the Manchurian president Biden do ? Oh wait he will not be in charge. My bad.
think trump is doing great job. Sorry.
@bskeet said in Donald Trump's Public Service Announcement:
I think the biggest thing a president can do is set an appropriate tone by speaking clearly and speaking the truth.
That starts with putting the interests of others ahead of his own. It means listening to experts and not dismissing and contradicting them. And it means avoiding over-statements, exaggerations and hyperbole.
I think this president has pattern of behavior that proves he is incapable of meeting ANY of these requirements.
In ANY business in the world other than a family-run business, this kind of incompetence would get you fired.
Yea Iām pretty sure that Trump listens to experts, but at the end of the day itās his ass on the line. Just like any president. Problem with todayās political environment? Is if it isnāt one of your own, then you have to get rid of them. No matter how good they have done.
Trump could cure cancer and some would still complain. Let that sink in. Trump isnāt the problem.

@DoubleDD Serious question unrelated to our differing political beliefs. Do you think this currently is people keeping calm?
Yea I do. What else can he do? You have a media basis that attacks him on everything.
Iām not sure why some are upset with the way Trump has handling this situation. Most of these procedures are already put in place. Itās just a matter of following the playbook. The key to handling the spread of the coronavirus, Really most be done at the local level. Trump has given the governors of Washington, and California everything they have asked for. Per the press conferences of these governors.
Heard a presser from KC today. All good stuff. The fight is going to be won with education and on the local levels. Any president can only do so much. The biggest thing a president can do is keep everybody calm. Something I think Trump is doing, and Obama did in his term.

Well look @kjayhawks . We're past just closing the borders. We are past just quarantining individuals.
The disease is spreading in the wild and we need a clearly defined social distancing policy, if not enforced then strongly recommended. He doesn't want to eat his words about having only 15 cases in the US when he was sticking his head in the sand. He needs to act like a leader and communicate the best policy, which is social distancing.
Problem is you are bashing the president. When the Demās party only plan is to listen to the scientist. From everything Iām reading and hearing the scientist and health workers agree with what Trump has done.

And just for the record? If Dem voters wouldāve voted Amy or even Booker? You might of captured my vote. Not so much booker, but Amy yes. But no the dem voter was like screw the country we have to beat Trump. Now we are stuck with Biden and Sanders. A brokered convention.
I donāt want corporate welfare. Let me compete in the market and weāll win. Weāve done it forever. Just get out of my way. We were doing really well! Sure there were big fluctuations because of forces beyond our control but governments just canāt fix that.
The D race is over. Biden will easily get to 1991 and the convention will be pretty uneventful if they even have it. I think they should make all the voting virtual so we donāt have a bunch of old folks in Milwaukee and Charlotte where the virus is already a big issue. Televise the speeches, fine. But donāt bring the delegates to the conventions.
I love your spirit but itās not a fair fight. But respect what your saying. Iāll leave it at that.

Also @FarmerJayhawk dont be ashamed for taking the money. You earned the right to take that money. Thatās why trump pushed for the money for American farmers. He knew what he was about todo was going to create waves, but it had do be done.
Iām not ashamed, Iām pissed this was entirely avoidable and the stupid trade war cost me a shitload of money for a bunch of non-binding targets the Chinese have no intention of meeting, and now with coronavirus Iāll be lucky to get half of what we were promised by the administration. The Chinese will bail on their non-binding targets and buy a small fraction of what they kind of promised but not really.
Oh so you rather be at the mercy of a foreign communist country? A country that steals our patons. The country that mass produces items with child labor. Okay I got you.
I mean Iād rather sell the things I pour my soul into to China in the free market than take taxpayer cash because the government ensured we couldnāt make it. I donāt want public money. I want money people pay me for things they want to buy. Sure, Iām at the mercy of the market and thatās fine by me. Iām not entitled to anything other than what we can trade for in the free market. Donāt charge me an additional tax my competitors donāt have to deal with. Because remember, tariff incidence applies mostly on consumers. And in the commodity market, China can buy tariff free soy from Brazil instead of tariffād soy from America.
You are a true American, but my friend that is what a federal government is for. To protect people like you. Take the money without shame. You farmers have been getting shafted for decades over foreign trade. Itās time to right the ship.
Thatās all Iām saying. And no I donāt think trump is perfect. Sometimes I wish he would just shut the fuck up. Sorry @approxinfinity.
Please forgive me for not seeing your logic

@FarmerJayhawk im not a farmer but I live in the country. I hate people. Lol. Everyday for about a month a walker dog would show up at my house after a night of hunting coyotes. We share a coffee, and then I would call his owner. Loved that dog,

Trump is a clinical example of a malignant narcissist.
His followers/worshipers are dweebs and gullible marks.
Lookie, no race card!
Nah we are middle America something you dem elites on the west and east coast for got about.
Iām from literally the middle of America (s/o to Lebanon, KS!) and have been working to stop Trump for years. Iām not a Democrat, voted for Romney in 12, Jeb! in 16. The Trump trade war has nearly cratered my familyās livelihood. I donāt like the personal attacks, but Trump has been a disaster for a lot of middle America, which is why we spent about as much on farm bailouts as auto bailouts. I took my check not because I wanted to, but because it was that or live off savings and my modest salary. We all knew this, warned our people on the right, and they still nominated him. So forgive me if Iām peeved at the āBUT HE SAYS WHAT I THINK ABOUT STUFF I SAW ON FACEBOOKā voters.
So you would rather be at the mercy of a foreign government communist government? Trump helped farmers a big-time
Yeah... no he didnāt. I was doing pretty ok (not awesome, getting by) until Trump started the trade war and my costs went WAY up and my revenues went WAY down. If thatās help Iād hate to see how heād hurt us. USMCA is garbage. Itās NAFTA but harder for US producers to import things from abroad. Again, my costs are going up. Not great. John Deere, et al. are having a harder time sourcing steel because the trade war put US manufacturing in recession, so also not great.
Might want to google? US manufacturing is on the rise. Hell we make steel in this country again
Sorry my bad. I just donāt like being called gullible, when the dem party is voting in someone that canāt remember where he is at or who he talking too. It appears this is not about what is best for the country. This is about politics.
So sad. I
Btw I hated mitt Romney. Voted against him. Yes I voted for Obama. I donāt waste my votes. Who in their right mind leaves a dog tied to the bumber of a car, then expects to lead the free world?
Oh and @FarmerJayhawk im from middle America too. Itās been pretty good sense Trump stepped into office.
Tump has it has the lowest unemployment rates across the board for every race of people. He has work trade deals to help America. Yeah so he says some crap on Twitter. And no heās not a polished politician like Obama. Do you remember Obama was saying hey weāre not great anymore.

Oh and @DanR conservatives arenāt voting someone in the office that canāt remember where heās at or who heās talking to. Or a person is picking a fight with an auto union worker.

@DoubleDD said in NOA response from KU discussion:
I was just thinking about this topic. Glad you started it @BeddieKU23. I read an article on yahoo about KU fighting back against the NCAA. The writer felt that the NCAA would prevail and spank KU pretty good. Iām wandering if this is one of those moments that changes everything? One would have to believe that this epic battle between KU and the NCAA is on the minds of all the power schools.
There has already been rumblings in the rank and file schools that maybe the NCAA has outlived its purpose, or does such a poor job (see the Tar Heel grade scandal) that itās time for a change, or something new. With the explosion of the media deals the power conferences are receiving? Who really needs the NCAA anymore?
I guess the 300 pound gorilla in the room is, āwhat purpose does the NCAA really serveā? Other than the NCAA tournament, which the Ncaa makes big time money from. What does it really do? It seems to most the NCAA is a waste of money, and lacks real leadership. In fact some would say the NCAA shows a Bias towards certain schools. This is why I think think KU is fighting back so hard.
Could KU kill the NCAA as we know it?
Simple response to your question about KU killing the NCAA. The answer is a big fat no.. The fact is there is to much against KU, think this is the time the NCAA has to try to save face and we are the proverbial lamb/ the Sacrafice. There is no way in Hell we walk from this unscathed . The NCAA charged us with FIVE level 1 charges which is the most severe charge. They were taking about this on our sports programming here in Topeka, general concensus that we will be hit with a post season Ban
They had people on from Rock ChalkTalk - - they had CJ Moore on and others. They feel that Coach Townsend is the one that is in the most danger/trouble - -More then Coach Self . To many people calling out the NCAA to step up and follow through. Basically calling out the NCAA to stand up and act like they had a pair. KU the biggest fish and want to make an example about how they not going to tolerate. Talked about exactly what year we would face the post Season ban as this thing is going to drag out for some time. Loos like most likely they think possibility of Coach Self having to serve like possibly a 6 game suspension Coach Townsend on like a 10 year what's it call? - -So Cause?- na that's not it is it? any ways real possibility of 10 yr and possibility of having games stripped. - -Myself I think yes we will get a post Season Ban , they leveled FIVE level one's gives them some le-way to neogiate . - -we will for sure be hit most likely the postseason , maybe cost us some off campus recruiting I think will be the extent
Yea I agree the NCAA is grasping for some form of respect, but I think that reads into my point of view. I have no doubt that if the NCAA throws the book at KU? Look for a law suit. I believe North Carolina is in the same boat here. I think this is going to get ugly, before it gets better.
Maybe the NCAA doesnāt go away, but I bet there will be some major changes to the power structure.

Amy yes, Warren no. A big no. Warren has told more lies than trump.
I know this sounds crazy. But I think she could beat trump. But she canāt win the Dem ticket.
How come you guys donāt like Amy? I know she canāt win, but still she seems quite liberal
FYI I like uncle joe hate to see this.

Iām not going to bash Obama. One of the best speakers I think Iāve ever heard. Yet not sure he was a capitalist puppet. In fact he seemed to believe that America wasnāt to be the greatest nation on earth. And was trying to prepare Americans of that fact.
Fair point? But you admit one thing that may not be true. You are banking on the house and senate to keep Bernie or warren under control. What if that doesnāt happen. Then what.
