Did we really go from landing on the moon, eradicating smallpox to Jared "researching" coronavirus?

[ck4829]

Which we can't really be sure if that means he's asking questions on Yahoo Answers asking how the left is trying to make Trump look bad through the virus and/or if he's walking around the west wing with a vial full of the virus and asking it "What do you want?" and "What's your game?"

It's quite breathtaking that we've fallen so far.

[lapfog_1]

1. maybe he is using "Ask Jeeves"?

or something.

[SummerSnow]

2. Omg!!! ROFLMAO

[dewsgirl]

3. LoL🤣

[sprinkleeninow]

12. Ahahah. I remember that. 🤣

4. Every society in the history of mankind

goes through the growth phase, where things develop in seemingly endless bounty and sophistication, then to a steady state phase, then a slow decline.

Sorry America, but I think i know which stage you are at.

There may be a slow devolution into separate colonies, with the occasional war fought between them, before there is a total collapse and the much reduced in numbers Mixed Tribes of America start a long exodus out, looking for a better place to live.

<I could be wrong though.>

[rickyhall]

25. And we blew our chance at progress, again.

[whathehell]

30. What 'stage' is Oz going through at the moment?

Sorry, Aussie, but I doubt we need you to "educate" us on our "phases".

[ck4829]

33. I dunno, honestly, we seem pretty lame right now.

Got washed-up celebrity presidents, political discourse being reduced to "owning the libs", sane people having to deal with "equal time" with QAnon-crackpots and white nationalists, and the latest medical innovation being shipping viagra faster rather than putting the next disease on the chopping block to be driven to extinction.

If that's not in the "decline" category, I don't know what is.

I'm an idealist though, and I think we can turn it around with enough hard work. And there have been some high points, don't get me wrong (The election of Barack Obama, more GLBTQ rights, a more diverse congress all come to mind), but 80's onward, it's kind of been pretty lousy culture and political landscape-wise for the US.

[whathehell]

34. Actually, I was asking the OP about Australia..

but whatever.

[eShirl]

5. We're saved! Jared is finding the cure!

[alittlelark]

6. Absolutely Surreal.

[maxrandb]

19. They asked Tim Burton to direct the movie version

and he said; "I got nothing"

[malaise]

7. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Nicely played - what is most disturbing is that they think he is qualified. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

[diverdownjt]

8. Cry...definitly cry...

[DemoTex]

9. And what is even scarier ..

He (Jared) thinks that HE is qualified.

[malaise]

10. +1,000

[Timmygoat]

11. He has to be kidding

Jared is going to read up on it!!!
Who elected Jared? I thought he was a shop window dummy modeling a suit - like a human.
I did not know that he even speaks. Are we paying him?
How about the republicans reading up on it? Or heaven forbid, even Trump reading up on it, although I am not sure he can read.
Are we living in an alternate universe with the clowns making the rules?

[NNadir]

13. This certainly means we should investigate Hunter Biden. McConnell, get on with it!!!!

I'm beginning to wonder if Trump was born in Kenya.

[Lonestarblue]

14. Trump was born in a petri dish as an experiment gone wrong.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. 1947

[SammyWinstonJack]

28. Bad seed. Born evil. JMHO.

[IronLionZion]

15. The important thing is it doesn't affect Trump hotels and resorts

so their supporters will still travel and spend money there.

[yardwork]

16. He didn't say that?!

[ck4829]

17. *Sigh* That's what's really happening

He is now set to be the final sign-off on the White House coronavirus task force's recommendation to the president ahead of his address on Wednesday night, according to a report from Politico.

"The task force will not give Trump its final verdict" ahead of the address until Kushner "finishes his research and comes to a conclusion himself," Politico reported.

18. Remember Robert F. Kennedy. I watch his speech in Cleveland, that he gave on the night

of Martin Luther King's assassination, on youtube every once in a while and think how far we have fallen. He was such an articulate, empathic, humane person. To compare what he offered as a leader, to what we now have now, engenders a true sense of surreal despair.

Yes, let Jared take a break from peace in the middle east to solve our coronavirus problem. That's the ticket.

[Captain Stern]

20. Horrible mistake.

trump should have picked someone else.

Having jared do this is going to use up valuable time that he would normally be using to finalize his plan for peace in the middle east.

[whathehell]

21. Jared's gone from Middle East "Expert" to National Epidemiologist

Not bad for an unsuccessful real estate investor with NO education or experience in either field...What could POSSIBLY go wrong?!

[delisen]

22. It is called "devolution." nt

[JHB]

24. Thanks a bunch, Bill Buckley!

[Blues Heron]

26. I heard he's been on the phone a lot with his mom

Madam Tussaud

[Nature Man]

29. I mean

Jews and Muslims are dancing in the streets together after he brought peace to the Middle East, right?

[lark]

31. It's just another lie.

Jared doesn't do anything except provide cover for ivanka and drumpf's sick relationship. If he does anything, it's totally bungled, so is that the plan here? I've thought all along he's doing this on purpose because it totally seems like he WANTS us sick and doesn't care if we die, as long as he profits mightily from the test kits and then the vaccinations later.
