My wife and I are back after 3+ years because the content is free (though she has a lifetime account so it doesn't matter) and we're bored while isolating at home. She's got 36k LP and I think I have 6k or something. We'll do the Epic and other odd quests as we go onwards from level 100. Of course, after April 30th we'll most likely be out again. I'm not sure we'll worry about level 100 LIs for imbument as I've little recollection on how it all works, nor care at this point about being leet.

1. This is funny. 2. https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/trump-gretchen-whitmer-michigan-coronavirus-feud-032411002.html Also, what king of person (besides mafia boss-types) need people to show their appreciation to them before they will get federal assistance? 3. Addressed by cossiek above. His task force might have been worthwhile if they'd have actually done anything. See 5. 4. This is the king of high school garbage the actually fucking PotUS posts on Twitter: General Motors MUST immediately open their stupidly abandoned Lordstown plant in Ohio, or some other plant, and START MAKING VENTILATORS, NOW!!!!!! FORD, GET GOING ON VENTILATORS, FAST!!!!!! and: As usual with “this” General Motors, things just never seem to work out. They said they were going to give us 40,000 much needed Ventilators, “very quickly”. Now they are saying it will only be 6000, in late April, and they want top dollar. Always a mess with Mary B. Invoke “P”. Does he think they have some sort of switch or something? What an imbecile. Are "MUST" and "GET GOING ON VENTILATORS" not orders? What kind of President issues those kinds of demands on Twitter? 5. This is hilarious. Over 100k cases and you think they have a handle on things? That's the garbage Trump said 8 weeks ago when there were 5 cases in the US. South Korea is the model of TTT. Treat means care and isolate. Testing is amazingly woeful in the US, unlike SK. CDC and FDA still holding up testing innovation by private companies. This could have been handled far batter if taken seriously 8 weeks ago.

What's bad is that Trump has been doing this same braggadocio bullshit since his inauguration. Remember how his was the most widely attended ever but pictures showed it was average at best? His supporters don't give a flying fuck because he supposedly pwns the Libs. And he's been doing the exact same bullshit routine for 4 years. Next up: Trump asked about what governors can do to enable fed assistance for Covid-19: "very simple, I want them to be appreciative-I don't want them to say things that aren't true, I want them to be appreciative." There's the threat folks, if they call out Trump's lies, their states will suffer. He wants them to kiss the ring. Look at his statements from 6-8 weeks ago when he downplayed the hell out of this thing. Then he says he knew it was a pandemic all along. Do people not see the absolute bullshit this man says on a daily basis? There's several videos on it, including a good one from the Biden campaign - which Trump threatened the licenses of tv stations that ran the ad, in total disregard for 1st amendment rights. Now he orders GM and Ford to make ventilators, like they have some fucking switch on their assembly line that says cars/ventilators. (Disregarding that automakers are shut down right now.) God he's such an ignoramus. TTT. Test, trace and treat. That's what's needed but too late now it seems.

Kobluchar ought to be his pick, imo. Picking any of those 3 would be a huge mistake.

It's been 3+ years for me and my wife. Peaked during SoM and RoI and played through HD and Dol Amroth. Logged back in at level 100. Doing Minas Tirith Epics and beyond. We'll see how it goes...

Travelers only so-so. Picard is yet to be determined. Expanse is good for a while. Suits is decent. Smallville I don't know, never saw it. Same with Still Game. Would recommend Altered Carbon on Netflix.

I read (but didn't see) that Trump was disagreeing with his own expert (Dr. Fauci) about the effectiveness of a certain drug right at the press conference? A scientist and a land swapper arguing about efficient treatment. Amazing.

I think most people saw him (Trump) as being a jerk (as usual). I think most people aren't crotch grabbing 22 year olds in front of their homies. YMMV

Red tide. That's good stuff. Brought a smile. CDC and FDA botched things pretty good so far as far as testing capability. We'll see if things improve.

South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore ought to be the countries people look to for strategies for fighting the virus, imo. Test, track and trace. This avoids the worst parts and also the more draconian measures places like Italy and China are going through. Of course, probably too late. 😔

You make it sound like Trump doesn't word salad all the time too. Again, you misread the electorate, imo. Bailout will be a useless waste of a trillion dollars. On top of the already trillion dollar deficits, it is irresponsible. Interesting to see if Trump survives this. THIS will save or destroy his re-election. He was in trouble otherwise.

Nope, I didn't. Perhaps you did?

IMO, this is a serious misreading of the US electorate. He is the greatest threat to Trump winning and Trump knows it (or ought to).

I guess my point was that your point that Trump is 2/3 of the way to getting the nomination sewn up surprises nobody. Not sure why it deserves mention.

Check the original post on this issue. I said some States weren't having a primary. Not all States. I think any non-primaries are lame, for whatever is the incumbent.
