Most overblown event in my life time !!

[Paradoxical]

Why then?

You're the one who made the post and made a claim that theaters aren't re-opening because people wouldn't go. I asked if that was just your opinion. Is there a link you can show me where that is the reason?

Boy, Trump sure ****ed up, huh?

The OP is inadvertently blaming Trump and Republican Governors.

 

[eman623]

sorry for your impending Nov. loss.

And congrats on your scorched earth victory.

 

[madman]

And congrats on your scorched earth victory.

Ummmm, it's your president's mouth andthat is the reason why he is losing. It's not a victory for anyone, it's simply handing off the baton to the adults.

Trump's your president too.

And if tens of millions have to live in poverty because of the shutdown - which the left wants to extend as long as humanly possible to maximize their chances in Nov, well acceptable losses, right?

I did not vote for him. He' not mine.

The rest of what you said is simply an opinion.

Ive already stated Inwpukd resign from the forum if I am wrong. Thats how confident I am on my ability to read this. I bet you are not as confident are ya?

I've already written that if Trump loses, he will declare the election results null and void due to "many, many voting irregularities across the country." Now, he won't offer any evidence mind you, but his supporters will. They will offer up one or two wrong voters in virtually every state and offer that as proof the president was correct in ignoring the election results "until there is a comprehensive investigation of the facts." Trump will hand select "the very best people" to head up the inquiry.

No one can do anything about it. The DOJ, headed up by Trump's lapdog AG Barr, will do nothing. The USSC can rule all they want, but they have zero enforcement power. The GOP-controlled senate will do nothing because every incumbent GOP senator gets to keep his seat "until the investigation is complete."

No, Trump will remain as president after the election, regardless of the results.

I wasnt talking about Trump I was discussing how confident I am that he will win. Are you as confident as me that he will lose? Obviously not.

The shut downs have been pretty nerve wracking, this is true. But it's dishonest to call this "only slightly more dangerous than the flu". The average yearly death toll from the flu is about 37.5K, that's deaths over 12 months. We've just breached the 3rd month line, so 1/4 of the time, and we've doubled that. The worst flu season we had, 2017-2017, was 61K in a year, and in a quarter of that time we've eclipsed it.

So this is very clearly well more dangerous than the flu.

Are you referring to the video of the woman getting kicked out of Trader Joe's for wanting to be kicked out of Trader Joe's?

Seems to have the same mentality.

Trump is going to win in November. I am 100% confident in my prediction. No person in their right mind is going to put Biden in charge of recovering the economy after a historic loss like this. No one. We are at great depression level unemployment over a overhyped illness. Do you think the people who lost their jobs are going to back Biden? The people who lost their homes...businesses? No...Biden couldn't beat himself at this point.

We are in Great Depression level of unemployment because of actions of your hero, Trump. So yes, many people would put Biden (or anyone else, really) in charge of recovering the economy due to yet again another Republican president screwing everything up. This is essentially a repeat of recent history, where the last GOP president left a crumbling economy for his Democratic successor to clean up.

 

[notquiteright]

Indeed, madman. Momentary elation followed by years of anemic recovery and my newborn son having to spend the prime earning years of his life to pay Norwegian-level taxes just to pay back the debt we racked up and saddled him with right along with the children and grandchildren of everyone here on this forum.

Well to be fair, the debt was racking up at record level BEFORE the pandemic. I'd say the rate of recovery will depend on how hard the Republicants fight Biden on recovery legislation... eace

 

[Felis Leo]

I'll bet you were all over it when Bush/Cheney gave a massive tax cut and then followed that up with not one, but two unfunded foreign wars. Yeah, I bet you were screaming bloody murder about the debt and deficit back then, right? Or did you, like the vast majority of your fellow conservatives, wait until that black guy sneaked in to soil yourself over debt?

I actually started caring most about debt after Obama left office and Trump took over, and I was against Donald Trump's tax cuts, thank you very much.

 

[Acadia]

Yeah, suddenly, pretty much all the countries on Earth decided to kill their economies for no good reason. So did State and local governments in the US responsible for 97% of the population. Clearly, they are all wrong and you and your right-wing sources are right.

Covid finally pierces the numbers of other diseases, as flu (which many millions have received shots for) is declining as it does every year.

So no links to old blogs, forums, etc, showing that you weren't complaining about debt under Obama?

 

[Acadia]

The people committing suicide probably would have done it soon anyway, so we shouldn't count them.

Wow, that's revolting for one, and second, why are we counting people who die WITH covid as people who die FROM covid?
Wouldn't the same methodology apply to suicide?

 

[Felis Leo]

No. If you think I am a liar and was conveniently a deficit hawk prior to Obama leaving office and not anymore, then I doubt anything I tell you is going to convince you otherwise. I actually started learning more about the dangers of running large ongoing deficits around the tail-end of Obama's presidency. And I am condemning the fact that Donald Trump is pursuing a similar deficit sanguine policy on full overdrive.

False. We are in this situation because of China. Please stop lying.

No, we are in this situation because of failed leadership from yet another corrupt "business man" idiot Republican voters put into office. You would think after Dubya that you people would have given up on "business men" to be your leaders, but then you select an even worse one, one that's a T.V. actor to boot.

If by "finally" you mean within ~3-4 weeks, then yes "finally"

How many people would the virus have to kill in a year before we could justify the actions we've taken?

IDK, Trump's going around with no mask, he's old, and more of the WH staff keep testing positive. So, we shall see.

Ah, okay, so if you were as "knowledgeable" about public debt back, say, 2003...you would have been criticizing Bush then...and subsequently during the Obama admin too...since you are a firm deficit hawk.
