No. However, judging by some of the posts I've seen in my 16 years on these boards, i think that there definitely are people out there with fluid on the brain. The fact that Donald Trump is POTUS pretty much proves that.... The Trump most likely is pneumocephalic ie. Airhead 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem occurs when an unstable exec. has control of one (or both) the other two major branches. Dodged one, when initially he DID have control of all three branches but his inability to work with others extends to even his allies. Art of the deal indeed. Best for NOBODY (regardless of what party they represent) control all three branches. Forces people to work together. Look how the provinces have generally worked with the Feds here in Canada with respect to this virus. Some mistakes to be sure, but much more is accomplished.

During the Turkish occupation in the old country, there was a position of kadi, judge in a sense. But his power extended beyond that off a judge. The old saying was that kadi is the one persecuting you and the one judging you. Edited April 28, 2020 by CBH1926 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By Jan 31 they had issued a global health emergency. They don't run any countries, it's up to leaders to take action I know, replying to an old post, and I know the WHO relies on what countries tell them - if that information is tainted - they pass it on. But I disagree - they are the ones that declare World pandemics - so they are the ones that should have taken action sooner. Answer me this, should Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General, World Health Organization be charged with dereliction of duty and negligence with death resulting? After all, he had the information from Taiwan but chose to ignore it. That resulted in a huge delay for country leaders to take action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They issued a global health emergency on Jan 31, what do you want them to do? They actually intentionally try to avoid the "pandemic" label because of the fear and panic it can cause. They did their job on Jan 31, after that it's on the leaders of individual nations. https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Health/wireStory/qa-pandemic-declaration-means-69541987 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is better than nothing I suppose, but this does certainly feel more like something that is more than just for charity. They could've at least put the food banks logo on it as well if nothing else to give it some advertising to support them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
