posted by ptown_trojans_1Well, that is a dumb as shit thought process. That goes against the entire history of the US Public Health process. But, live and let die baby!
Not really, considering lockdowns and restrictions have failed to stop the virus and failed to protect our most vulnerable. I am all ears for another solution, but I think most people are severely kidding themselves to believe we are going to curb this thing without a vaccine or herd immunity.
Europe is a great case on this right now. France, Italy, and Spain all had severe 2 month lockdowns followed by another month of lockdown "lite." By lite I mean what the US has been doing. What did that earn them? France is now around 30-50k cases a day. Italy is averaging at 21K cases a day, and Spain is near that same level. France has officially locked down for a month and Italy/Spain are about 2 weeks behind France. What is a lockdown for a month going to do to stop the virus from getting around at this point? At 30-50K cases a day, its over. This shit is spreading. That's the point boogie is making, and he is not wrong. The people who call for lockdowns or more restrictions are only doing it so they can "feel" safe. This shit is a dog and pony show at the expense of the economy and ruining a lot of lives.
posted by ptown_trojans_1Yeah, see on the debate Biden came out against the story and how he has not taken foreign money. But, as I said, that is still not enough for you. You will move the goalposts on him because you are not voting for him.
Whatever on the Steeler stuff. I think it is more complicated than that, but I'll let you live in your little world view.
Of course the Chairman never took any foreign money. That was Hunter who was to hold a percentage for the "Big Guy". This is the kind of thing old brother Jim refers to as "plausible deniability".
Edit:
Explain to me how I am moving the goalposts when from the beginning I have said the Chairman should categorically deny this.

posted by ptown_trojans_1What about the Steele Dossier and the Hunter Stuff?
I have to reeducate myself on the right wing conspiracy shit, Was the Steele stuff before or after the election? I think it was after, so it really does not compare to the Hunter stuff.
If we want to make a 1 to 1 comparison, it is the Comey letter and emails of Hillary vs. the Hunter stuff. There the media covered the Comey letter and email stuff on a daily basis. The Hunter stuff still has not been properly vetted.
I don't think it matter honestly. You can scream Hunter all you want, the virus is the main story.
Both existed prior to the election. Both were known by the FBI prior to the election. Both were known by the opposition campaigns prior to the election.
The Steele dossier was used by political opposition primarily after the election. This Hunter stuff is being utilized by political opposition before the election.
The Chairman could come out and put this all to bed before Tuesday. He could deny this hoax. Firmly state he never received any foreign money laundered through his son or brother. State that this Tony Bobulinski is a "lying dog-faced pony soldier". But he will not because he can't. At least while he is not in power.
As for the virus I think you underestimate how many people loathe political corruption. Or maybe I'm underestimating how many people are scared shitless of it.

Def the least racist person you know
Definitely.
Recognizing Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel, increasing energy security through domestic production, sidelining the Palestinians, and a tougher stance on Iran has provided leverage in dealing with these states individually and achieving peace deals. More are going to come on board.
I don't think the Chairman has supported any of these policies. No doubt if he were able to achieve the same result many that are downplaying this would be waving olive branches in the street.
A great accomplishment by "turn down the thermostat and put on a sweater" Jimmy Carter. A peace between Egypt and Israel that has lasted nearly half a century.

The Chairman claimed he never said he wanted to eliminate fracking. Trump said its on tape and the Chairman immediately responded to post it on your website. Which was promptly done.
I read the Chairman will be in Delaware today then heading to PA to reassure them he still gives a frack.
I am guessing he is referring to internal polls.

We will see what the "Chairman" has to say tonight.

posted by HereticThat's CC-level logic, bruh!
In the context of your posting history this is a high level insult. Lol. I actually agree to one degree or another with a majority of your posts.
I'll ask you a question does the Democrat party use race and identity politics for political advantage and when propagated in the media could this incite radicals in the context of gblocks post?
Ask me a similar question in the same context and you will get the same answer I gave gblock although the media outlets will be different. Of course using CC-level logic.
posted by Fab4RunnerI don't concede that he isn't racist, and lol to the rest of your post.
Ok . So given the power in the executive branch he has do you have a list of the racist actions he has taken.. I would like to know before I vote.
posted by HereticLol. The reason why a percentage of Trump supporters are racist nutjobs is because Democrats and media!
That's CC-level logic, bruh!
I probably should have left gblocks quote fully intact. I meant to keep it simple but I assume people read up and got context. I used the word think because that was the word he used in the part I quoted. A slip by me because the context of the post was actions.
I did not say that's why they are racists or nutjobs. They already were. I am just saying its a primary motivation if they believe the rhetoric that is being propagated that Trump is a racist they might be emboldened to act in a more aggressive manner.
posted by geeblockSo what makes people think trump hates, gays, people of color and foreigners?
Ok so you say you concede Trump isn't a racist. So you want to know what makes people think this resulting in nutjobs, and some actual racists acting a fool.
The simple answer is the Democrat party and the media.
posted by geeblockI didn’t say you can’t get them. Are you saying u see people riding around with Biden flags at even 1/100 th the frequency of trump flags ?
They seem to like bumper stickers better.
geeblock here is a couple of places you can get Biden flags. Not sure why you don't see many around.
