Coronavirus politics and news.

Doc, exact same scenario but it was a press you liked and a democratic senate, what would you say? I would personally sound like Ralph from the Simpsons. "Ha-Ha!" and walk away.
I would not care one bit about the far right or their wants. If my president was picking s SCOTUS that I liked? **** the Rs.

If this happens, I can actually see senators losing seats. If the Dems get the senate and Biden wins, they can add Justices and stack the Court.

There is also some issue regarding a lifetime appointment. There is the option to argue that only means to a federal court.
Also, if he doesn't put Lagoa forward, he doesn't gain ground in Florida. He may lose it.

I agree and rationally I understand, emotionally I am outraged at the presumptuous hypocrisy and arrogance. I would be much more comfortable with a D pick no question. I would feel safer and more secure in my kids future.

Lifetime appointments have the potential to change law for a generation! That is precisely what scares the **** out of me. If he succeeds in packing the court with another conservative judge the country faces serious regression.

I think once the initial knee jerk has passed, some R's may look more carefully at the larger picture. What are my constituents thinking and feeling. Is my seat vulnerable. Like the whores they are ( D&R) they will take the temp and act in THEIR best interest, ie what will lead to re-election.

Don't you mean the inaction of the dotard in charge? We still don't have a national strategy. Still no mask mandate, which is a proven deterrent to the spread. Fortunately some governors and the public are taking the threat far more seriously. The lack of leadership is evident. The failure clear. To deny responsibility in the face of a crisis is criminal. That is not leadership, it's inept cowardice.

Your TDS was at an all time high wasn't it? He saved over 2 million lives. The doctors commend the Administration for the actions they have taken.

The blame is China, the deaths in this country have lots of blame including many democratic leaders like Cuomo.

I was referring to you being correct about asking for small portions.

You answered this but not the one question that I did ask. At least you didn't try to deflect. You just ignored.

Now, if you genuinely don't care about social issues or how trump is handling things because your life has improved, I actually understand that. If that is the case then why not admit? If You don't care and stop defending him with the understanding that some people do care?

But if you think he's a great president for all reasons and is being unduly criticized?

Here is question 1

Trump is paying off a porn star for having an affair with her. True or False?

Did he pay her off? I do not know
Did he have an affair with her? I do not know
Did either or both happen? I do not know

And the thing is neither do you. So this is not a fact. At least not a known fact either way you "slice it."

[brett05]

It is frightening to watch the Dems become more full of hate and vitriol than the Reps.

I don't wan him as president. But in the last couple weeks, it's gotten nuts.
I have certainly been guilty of calling out people and accusing them of certain beliefs based on their blind support for him but you step back and look?

It's ****ed. And it is not just Trump doing it. Trump is not going to turn the country into a fascist nation. Just like Biden won't turn us into purely socialist country.
I have spoken to many people about whom I care and that I respect. They feel the Dems will ruin the country the way the Dems fear Trump will. When I listen, I don't agree with all points, but there are many that I can see as legit, at least to them. They aren't ignorant stances. They aren't callous.

Truthfully, hearing AOC continually speak scares me as much as hearing Pence speak. They are the same coin.

Then you have HBO running a show that essentially bashes him and his family at all costs? Really? What if they'd done that to Obama?

When all these celebrities come out screaming, it's not a good look for the Dems. That party looks really bad right now. Really, really bad. Really hateful.

Trump sets himself up. He deserves much of what he gets but not enough to have people hating one another.
I hope people read full transcripts and give some context to many of the things about which he's quoted.

If you think Trump is better for this country? Great. Will I question certain issues? Hell yes.
But no one should be afraid of voting for Trump or Biden.

If Trump wins, I hope he does a great job.

Clown out

I want to agree only if Biden wins, I hope he does a great job as well.

[brett05]

Hey mush, McConnel said it wasn't right back then and refused to do it. He said the new president should the one.
McConnel said we shouldn't then. So we shouldn't now.

Not exactly the same however.

I was wrong you didn't miss your calling at OAN. You actually should be a stand up comedian because I almost spit out my drink at how laughable that statement is.

Do you really think anyone is going to take you seriously with a take like that? I mean if Trump's following was a cult, you would be right at the front of the line.

[brett05]

Well we agree on one thing!

Who wrote the so called "unwritten rules"?

Your answer is Joe Biden, 1992

The real toll of Covid-19 is even higher than 200,000. Between mid-March and late August, 259,000 more Americans have died than would in a normal year. https://nytimes.com/interactive/2020...h-toll-us.html

Covid has killed less. There is a difference between death with and death from
That said, the ancillary damage that the lockdown has done is tremendous.

Show where I said I was wrong. I still await the first fact. LOL

How does it feel to be completely brainwashed?

I have no words. This is said in jest right? I have on word, incredulous.

There is help available, I know people in the field who specialize in cult deprogramming. If interested feel free to let me know.

You're really good at mindlessly parroting conservative talking points.

He saved 2 million lives by shutting down travel from China when most of the coronavirus strain that affected American citizens came from Europe? He saved 2 million lives by holding back federal stockpiles of PPE? He saved 2 million lives by not mandating a mask policy in this country? He saved 2 million lives by delaying funding for COVID testing and hospitals? He saved 2 million lives by constantly downplaying the virus to the point where much of his base refuses to wear masks to this day? Mind you he downplayed the virus while admitting to Woodward in March that the virus "wasn't just killing old people" and that it was "deadly stuff" so he can't plea ignorance.

You're beyond lost. Enjoy that shrine in your house to Trump you've built.

Your ignorance is consuming you.

I know you don't really believe in covid. You made. that expressly clear to me when we discussed those I know who died from Covid. You questioned their deaths. That's because you are and ignorant troll. There was no actual comprehension or attempt at it from you. It was simply a bunch of antagonistic questions to try and prove that Covid didn't kill people.

It kills less than the flu because it's about as dangerous. Oh wait. Even at 150k it's still 4-5 times deadlier than last years flu.

Poor Brett. You are either inbred from hillbillies or from Waspy, Ivy League incest. Either way, you are clearly the product of first cousin consumption

Actually Brett. You are correct. Covid doesn't kill people and it's not serious. Please go have a fun time at a large gathering.
