"We need bodies like the ABC to help us prevent certain types of people from perverting truths and manipulating our social institutions to their advantage."

According to the 'set a thief to catch a thief 'theory?

The ABC is the home ground of "perverting truths" and "manipulating social institutions".

Sorry SR, but you can't butter me up like this. Showing my post for a third time just seems like creepy adulation but there's no way to get on my sweet side over this. My wife might be able to butter me up like that but she has attributes that (I assume) you lack. So you've been shown to be an inveterate and unrepentant purveyor of false accusations and there's just no way out of that. Just try to do better next time.

As to the Trump polling I was referring more to specific polling about his handling of the virus crisis.. eg http://www.ipsos.com/sites/default/files/ct/news/documents/2020-03/topline-abc-news-coronavirus-032020.pdf

("Do you approve or disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling the response to the coronavirus (COVID-19)?" - approve 55%, disapprove 43%)

SR, you've been wrong about Trump from the moment he descended the escalators to announce his candidacy for president. So its no surprise that you're wrong again. But one would hope you'd learn. But alas. Still most of the media you rely on to tell you what to think have been wrong as well, so perhaps not so surprising.

mhaze, 'The Donald', an absolute nincompoop! but you love him. According to 'The Donald', his claim that America would be back in business by Easter was only "aspirational".The Donald is complaining that the cure is worse than the problem and had floated Easter Sunday as a “beautiful timeline” for reopening big swathes of the country. Also according to 'The Donald', if his administration keeps the death toll to 100,000, it will have done “a very good job”. 'The Donald' is verbally abusing reporters who question what he has previously said. On the question of a shortage of face masks for front line medical staff, 'The Donald' has implied health care workers are stealing masks, without providing any evidence. AND YOU LOVE THIS GUY! A TOTAL LUNATIC IN CHARGE OF THE ASYLUM!

Trump derangement syndrome growing by the minute. Gives you a good laugh in the midst of tradegy. Meanwhile the regressives are desperately trying to draw attention to themselves as approval ratings for Trump increase and the regressives lying left liberal media is exposed day by day. They are happy for everything to be shut down except planned parenthood. I mean we could not possibly reduce murdering the unborn could we?

"'The Donald', an absolute nincompoop! "

Who keeps outsmarting all those who are political enemies and all those suffering TDS. I wonder how you reconcile that? Or do you just ignore it?

" his claim that America would be back in business by Easter"
He didn't say it would be back by Easter. He said he hoped to get it done by Easter. But what have facts got to do with it, eh?

"The Donald is complaining that the cure is worse than the problem"
No...no....no. He said he didn't want the cure to be worse than the problem. I wish Morrison/Hunt would adopt that policy as well.

" if his administration keeps the death toll to 100,000, it will have done “a very good job”."

Yes, and? Since the initial estimate was 20 million, and even now the experts say 200000, that seems to be a good number. Would you prefer him to lie?

"The Donald' has implied health care workers are stealing masks,"

Well he didn't but I'm sure the media you rely on to tell you what to think told you differently.

"without providing any evidence."

Well based on your post, you'd know all about that.

mhaze, the US Surgeon General warned Trump that government inaction would see 100,000 to 200,000 Americans die from the coronavirus. Trump took that to mean 100,000 deaths would be “a very good job" on his part. THE MANS A NINCOMPOOP!
