It’s amazing the left got most of the rest of the world in on their plan to vote out Trump.


Care to elaborate?  The EU is pissed Trump banned their citizens from entering the US. They didn't end flights or migration from infected countries, so I don't understand the outrage.  Do you have any specifics on what should have been done, versus what Trump actually has done?  It's easy to level snark, but which party just had a candidate that said he'd never restrict entry into the US, regardless of pandemic or other security concerns.  Trump has already done more than Obama did with H1N1 and Ebola, so I don't understand the outrage.  I genuinely want an answer rather than rhetoric talking about feelings.  You're pretty intelligent, so do you have some ideas you'd like to share?

So I take it you haven't sent all of your employees home, nor are providing them with paid leave without deducting their vacation, if you offer vacation at all.  You're only interested in blaming Trump and political points:

This is exactly what this country deserves. The ignorants voted into office by fellow ignorants.

  I figured, thanks for proving my point.

People are so uninformed on this subject that I deleted Facebook from my phone so I wouldn't have to read about how justified they are with their stupidity.  We're literally destroying the economy and irreparably hurting small businesses because we don't understand something.   Insanity.


You have CNN and other far left outlets doing everything they can to inspire fear and attack Trump.  Notice there wasn't a single thing of value in the plans put out by Sanders and Biden.  Sanders must think it's still 1994, cause his great idea is to setup a hotline people can call for COVID information, apparently unaware of cdc.gov.  Meanwhile, Pelosi thinks this is a great time to try to force legislation providing federal funding for abortion and mandating paid sick leave for every American permanently (at the businesses expense, no federal help).  These people don't care about Americans or ending the spread of COVID, they want to win in November and will use any excuse or ploy to help that.  They and their supporters are truly despicable.  If you have a suggestion, offer it.  But when they control the purse strings, and resist every effort to prevent people from entering our country and spreading it, they don't have a leg to stand on.

My personal favorites are the idiots trying to blame cutting funds to the CDC for this.  When you ask them how the CDC would have had more kits available or any specifics, they just fade away and mumble.  Ignorance is the biggest threat here.

I'm interested to hear Mitch's take on this, since he owns a business.  Can you afford to pay all of your employees for the 2-3 weeks they're not working?  What would that do to your business?  Trump wants to provide federal assistance limited to COVID, but those you support want you to pay out of pocket for all of your employees.

I’m loving the Hillary Hulu series. Highly recommend.

Unless you’re elderly or have a weak immune system, yes, it’s hysteria. 18k people have died in the US this flu season. Most don’t get their flu shot and don’t alter their behavior. It’s going to suck if you get it, but unless you’re in those specific demographics, it won’t be any worse than the flu. Wash your hands and don’t go out in public if you’re sneezing and coughing. I assume you’re European, so you have no reason to be going to work if you’re sick.

Bernie just said on the townhall that he wouldn’t close the border under any circumstance, even to stop the corona virus. This is the far left in America folks.

#1217 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 322 weeks ago

Wash your hands and don’t be an asshole and go out in public spaces hacking and sneezing all over everyone. You’ll be fine. If you’re sick, don’t go visit your grandmother.  If CNN ran a counter of flu deaths, people would be freaking out too. Disney World is still open.

Has Michigan even been hit with the virus yet?  Offer hand wipes to every person when they come in and leave. Wipe down door handles every 30 minutes. As long as someone doesn’t sneeze in your face, you’ll be fine.

Playing with the numbers. Biden should seal the nomination in the middle of May, specifically after May 19th. Brokered convention seems unlikely, as even if Biden is marginally short then, he’ll get it by end of May, and still have a possible 215 delegates in June (of which he’ll get at least half) to ensure it.

All this talk about lack of representation and misogyny, I guess Gabbard isn't really still a candidate.  Don't get me wrong, she's an actual combat veteran (unlike Pete) with military leadership experience (unlike Pete - he was a Navy Officer in Afghanistan [protip: NAVY people tend to be assigned where there's water - unless you're a seal or a corpsman; which he wasn't] who drove other officers around) whose political beliefs are as blue dog as they get, so she wasn't elected because her beliefs are completely out of line with the DNC.  So I get why Democratic voters weren't interested, but spare me the identify politics nonsense.  This election proved that people were interested in ideas and how you present them - as they always are - and not in what color of skin or sex organ you have between your legs. 

Democrats don't want what  Sanders (or Warren) is selling, though you have that 25% who are very loud and think you can shame/scream others into submission.  That's not a Sanders technique though, that's what Democrats have been doing the past 2 decades.  Make a haphazard moral argument to shame people into supporting you, rather than an intellectual one.  "If you don't allow millions of economic migrants to enter our country and be given a red carpet welcome, you're a racist."  Warren saying she wouldn't select a Secretary of Education unless a transgender high school student gives her a thumb's up isn't enlightened or intellectual - as her supporters profess her candidacy to represent in totality.  It's fucking retarded and the worst kind of pandering.  Ignore the transgender qualifier, and focus on that she wants a 16 year-old to determine who the Secretary of Education is.  The Twilight Zone just had an episode like this last year.  Say what you will about Trump and the wall, but the wall and immigration reform resonates a hell of a lot better with America than the idea of allowing a transgender teenager to  determine what cabinet positions get filled.

Have solid ideas that help the majority of Americans, and don't harm them at the benefit of foreigners who can't be bothered to learn English (Pete and others attacked Amy because she voted to make English our official language - how fucking cruel of her!!!!).  That's how you win an election.
