Not as perfect as his call with the Ukrainian president but pretty good.

The call mightn't have been perfect but having a transcript in hand was.

How do we make a politician, any politician, keep promises?

How do you feel about his lie that anyone that needs a test can get a test? |

Vote those that don't keep promises out of office.
Vote instead of complaining and don't complain if you don't vote.
Work to fix gerrymandering by both parties.
Fix our broken primary system. |

Difficult to do until social pressure is great enough from enough people that those who make the rules realize that they will be removed.
Half the country professes they still like turnip.

It troubles me that you ask about how I feel instead of what I think.

A great idea: Promises made, promises kept. Now, where have I heard that?

My partner came down with a fever, chills, cough etc. last weekend, and there was a suspected COVID-19 case at his work. Still, he only managed to get tested last Monday because he's the president of a local LGBT nonprofit that works closely with the county public health district and thus knows the PHD director. When he first tried to get tested, the response he got was to stay home for two weeks--which we're already doing anyway since everything's shut. Without his government connections he would not have been tested.
Testing in this country--and thus, reported case numbers--is a joke, and we have an incompetent moron at the helm. And what is it with his vocabulary? "Beautiful" tests? Probably no one else on Earth would describe a lab test with that word. |

Scott Adams explained how to hypnotize your doctor into giving you the cure instead of the test. [citation needed] Just FYI.
