Sweden's king and prime minister say their approach to covid-19 was a failure.

"Sweden, which has never imposed a full lockdown, has seen nearly 350,000 cases and more than 7,800 deaths - a lot more than its Scandinavian neighbours."

"Sweden has had more deaths than the rest of the Nordic countries combined. This has led to criticism from the country's neighbours, Norway, Denmark and Finland, that its less strict approach is putting their own measures at risk."

If he was so great he would’ve been re-elected.

He was terrible at everything...especially the pandemic.

He didn’t do shit but eat fast food, golf and watch tv while continuously getting fatter.

He IS white entitlement.

I’ll add to this...do you remember how his campaign began? Questioning Obama’s birth certificate.

It really tells you everything you’ll ever need to know about Trump and his supporters.

Racist to the core.

Nobody really knows where he was born. It’s not like he would know and his mom and is dead and his birth certificate is a reissued copy. That said I assume he was born in the US and even if he was not his mom is a US citizen and he won the election so who cares. Ted Cruz wasn’t born in the US yet ran for president.

Fuck off. He issued his birth certificate.

Manufacturing jobs aren’t coming back either. Any simple Google search will pull up numerous stories from a variety of sources that explain this.

“ Overall, the U.S. has suffered a net loss of more than 91,000 manufacturing plants and nearly 5 million manufacturing jobs since 1997. Nearly 1,800 factories have disappeared during the Trump administration between 2016 and 2018 (BLS 2020; U.S. Census Bureau 2020a, 2020b). The U.S. has experienced a net loss of manufacturing plants (establishments) in every year from 1998 through 2018 (the most recent year for which data are available).”

Your post is so full of lies and inaccuracies; too many to count.

But I’ll just take one: North Korea tested its most powerful and advanced missiles under Trump.

You fail to point out that McConnel's preferred stimulus doesn't include money for state and local governments and he wants all liability absolved from businesses that employ the people of this country.

That deserves a filibuster...

You've kinda twisted the interpretation here.

Lol, you mean you want Trump and McConnell to bail out all the lib cities that rigged the votes against him. Get fvcked.

Dude, stop this stupid-ass shit. Trump lost. Fair and square. There is no evidence, proof or logical argument that there was fraud at any significant level. This isn’t fuckin’ Parker where these fantasies are embraced. You are eating up a bunch of bullshit and it makes you look like a loon.

Trump’s own people said it was the cleanest election ever. So he fired the dude. Barr said there’s no evidence of fraud. Every court case has been thrown out. The Supreme Court sees nothing.

There’s no proof. Lou Dobbs peddling a debunked theory isn’t proof of anything but your gullibility.

The 2 Justices only said they would allow it to be filed but that they would reject it once filed. They believe it is their duty to allow state vs state to at least be filed, but that’s it.

This was essentially a 9-0 Trump smack down. The message is clear: It’s over.

You can blame your boy Barr for the lack of attention to Hunter.

Barr Worked to Keep Hunter Biden Probes From Public View During Election

"Attorney General William Barr has known about a disparate set of investigations involving Hunter Biden’s business and financial dealings since at least this spring, a person familiar with the matter said, and worked to avoid their public disclosure during the heated election campaign.

Republicans and President Trump have pressed Mr. Barr for months to pursue Mr. Biden, especially as his father, Joe Biden, gained momentum in his ultimately successful bid for president. Mr. Barr has staved off pressure from Republicans in Congress for information into the investigations, the person said, without elaborating on his actions.

One investigation became public this week after federal investigators served a subpoena on Hunter Biden. The subpoena sought detailed financial information in connection with a criminal tax investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware, according to people familiar with the matter.

A quick, off the top of my head top 10 of the 90s.....

New Radicals - Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too

WOW! A fellow New Radicals fan? This is one my favorite albums of all time, both because of its quality and because of when it came out in my life.

It really is a fantastic slice of 90s pop-alt-rock. The singer at various times sounds like a young Jagger or Bono or George Michael. It's got the one hit that everybody heard, but the whole album is so freakin' well done: Lyrically, production, mix, sequencing, the whole ball of wax.

It's the best album of the late 90s.

I was blown away when he broke them up right as they were taking off.

He could've been huge. He just had no interest in fame. I bet that band still hates him.

I love Gotta Stay High. Should've been the third single... probably would have if they hadn't split up.

Did you know that he wrote the Santana/Michelle Branch hit Game of Love?

[/embed]


I actually did know he wrote that song.

The whole album is so great. My favorite is “I Hope I Just Didn’t Give Away The Ending.” His lyrics tell great stories throughout the album, but on this one it’s next level. This is my favorite passage:

“ We caught a fey taxi driver
I smiled the ride was free
I felt like Amsterdam
She wanted more drugs and maybe me
I told her dealer I was broke
He hired a cameraman
We did a porno film for coke
I hear I'm big in Japan”

The double meaning of “I hear I’m big in Japan” is hilarious.

Honestly, I listen to this CD more than any GNR stuff or any of my metal stuff. It’s just top notch all the way around. About the only weak spot is “Technicolor Lover.” I just don’t like it all that much.

Gregg Alexander has some solo stuff too that I just saw a few weeks ago. I haven’t listened to it yet.

Only a fvcking idiot would accept this election at face value. Is there enough shady shit to overturn the election? Maybe not, but this was ANYTHING but a clean election.

Again, zero facts. Zero evidence. Every judge has done everything but laugh in Trump’s lawyer’s faces. Trump’s own folks said it was the cleanest election ever. Barr says no evidence of any significant fraud. You are coming off like a right-wing nut.

The Supreme Court just resoundingly dismissed his Pennsylvania case. https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/08/politics … index.html

Supported by no facts or evidence whatsoever. Trump lost = dirty.

You're actually just wrong. It's not really a debate.
