There seems to be some chatter about dexamethasone incapacitating the president and opening the door for a 25th Amendment coup. Oh well, more as the story develops and film at 10 o'clock.
I assume you have some evidence for this assertion? Or are you merely stating it as an inherent presumption?
Why would a steroid anti-inflammatory incapacitate anyone?
Well you must hate a lot of folks my friend. In truth this is pretty much a standard practice among many of the elite business people you just dont see or hear about it. But orange man bad is the deal of the day every day all day 7 days a week 24 hours a day.
Overcame? that seems a little presumptuous why not is (hopefully) overcoming it. I don't trust the news on any of this stuff and that includes glowing reports from the white house just as much as the gloom and doom from the MSM.He caught it, he was treated for it, and he overcame it. His experience with it in no way contradicts anything he said about it prior to when he caught it.
I read an interesting article the other day where Trump's activities re; Covid were compared with a more stereotypical president. As to 'real' differences, there were few. Where Trump losers points is acting as if he knows and understands more than he does. Once again, his effusiveness does not serve him well. He should STFU...but we know that his personality disorder won't allow that.
I have not yet received an answer to my question: "If you don't like had Trump has handled the COVID, what additional steps was he supposed to take"?
Whoa! Whether or not it's a standard practice or not, it can still be subjected to a value judgment.
Leaving Trump out of it. Are we now saying we admire folks who declare bankruptcy for doing so? Are we saying that it doesn't change our opinion of them one way or another?
Why are conservatives usually trying to limit bankruptcy filings?
This line of reasoning does not make sense to me. Long before Trump I was raised with a belief that declaring bankruptcy was, in general, indicative of financial mismanagment. I, like Kut, thought it was a conservative principle. If this is a wrong way to thing about bankruptcy then I want the credit card laws changed back to the way they used to be.
Yes.
You haven't been watching much news or twitter have you?
Bankruptcy does not change my opinion of people at all. The old thinking of my fathers generation is just that, old and outdated. So many acceptable reasons to be more forgiving today than in my fathers era. There is just so much beyond the people's control.
In 1977 a friend has a serious accident and needs high level orthopedic surgery, they had no insurance at that time, it cost just $800 for hospital, doctors, and all the rest. It saved his limb. Adjusted for inflation that $800 is about $2500 today, that surgery would cost $60,000 today. His family scraped and paid the $800, but to try and pay the $60,000 today? I would not look down on folks so situated filing bankruptcy.
A young couple buys a new construction house in 2006, with an FHA loan, just like huge majorities of us have for decades to get their first home. Then, due to Wall Street shenanigans the economy goes belly up, one of them loses their job, but so did many in their neighborhood, so home values are down and they have to declare bankruptcy. You looking down at them?
Unfortunately top level real estate is a very volatile business, and the fortunes can change through no negligence on the part of the developer. They are at a ridiculous level of dependance on politicians approval, and long term economic conditions. Any of that goes bad, and bingo a project goes bankrupt. Now get out of your head that bankrupt is bailing because in many cases it is not. It is a reorganization to give the developers time to get back on track. (I know nothing of Trump particulars.)
What standard should we hold you to? Let he without sin cast the first stone...

I required a bone marrow transplant last year, and the insurance coverage was extremely iffy. Pretty much you had to have the procedure done and then if they didn't cover it you had to jump through hoops and possibly pay out of pocket. Only estimation the hospital would give is around $500,000. They said just do it, what are they gonna do repo your bone marrow. I'm still dealing with insurance over this.
I wish you a complete recovery and thank you for sharing just how close we all are to the precipice of bankruptcy.
Just another example of a situation beyond control that may result in a bankruptcy. BTW, not condoning bankruptcies as a way of life, just pointing out nuance is required to understand the individual situation...

I fully understand. I was brought up to think that bankruptcy was a disgrace of sorts. Now I fully understand that it can be a requirement.
