Hopefully there will be plenty of time for House Dems to investigate all that once this mess calms down. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I said a fair investigation. I don't trust the Democrats to actually do that. Perhaps a bipartisan committee. |

The GOP is incapable of doing anything “fairly” when it comes to Donny. Can’t upset their Dear Leader. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

...but I didn't ask for just one party to do it... |

You can’t prepare for every last thing. The President is a fink. |

It doesn't really matter to me if Trump didn't actually say it was a hoax. The rightwing media he usually follows was bent on downplaying it as much as possible. He was not doing his best to follow people who knew what they were talking about. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | Mrs. Wizard went to Costco today. There was a line to get in. Once in, employees rationed toilet paper to one pack per person. I still don't understand why in times of fear we Americans dump stocks and load up on toilet paper. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

| petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | We are only born with two innate fears, falling and loud sounds. The rest of the fears are learned responses. I think tp hoarders get that way from social media? At our Lowe's store, when a shipment of masks came in last week, [180 packs] one person bought the entire load and shipped them to friends in Texas. My local hardware store put a ten max. limit on masks which is like a community service. Hoarding endangers the community. I wish I had been there to cough on him. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18758 | Not sure why there is a big toilet paper concern. Only thing i'm wondering about if there is a discussion about whether it would be better to warn of a Italy like situation in advance, or wait until it occurs. It kind of feels like they are trying to ramp up more than the numbers currently suggest, but it's hard to tell. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

No, you can't. The last thing I would want to see is to have another event similar enough to this that response could easily be better and for us to fall short of having it actually be better. You should be able to prepare for things you have seen before...at least to a point ahead of how we were prepared for this event. It is not an "R" or "D" thing; it is for all of us. |
