    ~ A lockdown works only if done very early. Thanks to WHO , the U.N. and of course China we never got a clue until it was too late. Taiwan and South Korea are the only two countries that had an early warning. Both informed WHO - but were ignored due to influence by CCP.
    I think that China is going to get hit with the majority of the responsibility. Legislators are working on the legal details.
    We must be brave - not scared. If not the USA could end up like China !

    He's done a great job.

    And it's also about Biden. He's visibly deteriorating at an alarming rate. Here he is speaking at an indoor gym, he hears rain and repeatedly urges the small group in front of him, who are already indoors, "to come in out of the rain."


    This isn't the Wizard of Oz and he's not the Scarecrow in search of someone who will give him a brain. It's rediculous that your trying to run someone who is even less popular and less fit for the office than Crooked Hillary was.
    Fake News Lies. You really have to quit listening to those liars, learn to look up things yourself.
    He's been consistent on his issues for thirty years, do a youtube search, his issues today are the same as they have been for decades. Politically he's very close to where he was when he was a moderate Democrat, its you folks that have moved so far Left that if you love American, want American Leaders to put the American People First, you can no longer be at the top of Democrat Leadership. When Clinton got the nomination in 1992, folks as extreme as AOC and Sanders were fringe extremists, now they are attempting to come to national power by electing a guy who thinks his daughter is his wife, so they can take over. If America wanted your agenda, why run Biden? You know full well that we don't.
    Fake News Lies. You really need to learn to look things up yourself rather than repeat the lies of Don Lemon types.

    Trump policies drive boom recoveryJ

    Donald Trump's trust in the American people is paying off hugely in the current recession.
    I think we'll stick with the guy who is great with the economy, doesn't start wars and actually has a functioning brain.

    Despite Trump’s desperation to juice the economy with tax cuts, spending increases and interest-rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, there’s been only a modest uptick in the growth rate.

    Since 2017, the annual GDP growth rate has averaged -1%.

    2.3% before the pandemic, -5% after...

    Figures are hard to swallow, aren't they?

    You are living in fantasy land. Trump has been a disaster - and what on earth are you talking about "paying off hugely" ?

    Functioning brain ? LOL - perhaps you need to read the new book by Mary Trump. Trump is a crackpot.

    "Great with the economy" - any idiot can stimulate an economy with massive deficit spending.

    There is one very good reason to vote Trump over Biden though - Trump's despite his lack of caring - is way better for the environment.

    Who knew !?

    This, and perhaps only this, is what we've learned from the 2nd world war;
    Do not let some aspiring dictator brainwash people in believing an entire group of people is responsible for dire economics
    Do not let such individual speak before large crowds, spreading the virus of antisemitism.
    Do not let such individual speak his racist language at all.

    Today, in the age of social media, blatant racist language is outlawed and even Trump knows it.
    Trump couldn't get away with calling Jews fake on Twitter, not even for a second.
    His account would be shut down immediately.

    So, instead, Trumps instrument of distrust has become the MSMedia.
    But it sounds all to familiar.

    Trump doesn't just want you to hear HE thinks news is fake.
    He wants you to believe YOU BELIEVE news is fake.
    It's not his idea any more, even though he gave it to you.

    The perfect inception.
    But it's just another word for brainwashing.

    Fake news might have been around before Trump.
    But so was antisemitism before Hitler.

    There's people that insist the Earth is flat to.

    Their evidence for this is 100% equal to the evidence that you presented for your conspiracy theory.

    Actual institutional racism is strictly from the left. It is strictly from the left that I ever hear anything about how white people need to check their privilege, meaning black people can only ever succeed if white people allow them to. That's the bigotry of low expectations.

    So the politicians making racist speeches are strictly on the left.

    It's a pretty common trick to accuse people of doing what you're doing to try and throw people off the scent.

    It's why the street fascists call themselves antifa, it's why the white supremacist call themselves black lives matter. It's subterfuge it works on morons.

    I respect your opinion but sometimes I just don't understand this obsession about dividing everything into left and right.
    Does it ever occur to you that you/me/the people are the only ones who always argue about this?

    Trump doesn't and he doesn't care either. And he is the one that matters.
    His ideology leads to neither left nor right. And neither did Hitlers.
    Fascism leads IN NO direction, except oppression.
    Then there is no more left and right to join because it will be outlawed.

    Hitler needed to give his fascism a name to sell it to the masses. Thus it became known as Nationalsozialismus.
    But after he was elected he couldn't care less how one labeled his regime; he just wanted to kill people.

    You can put a label on anything, if absolutely necessary.
    Call fascism a right wing ideology if you will.
    I call it an ideology of destruction.
    And, in worst case scenario, death.

    We're in the endgame of Trumps re-election and you STILL want to debate who's on the left and who's on the right?

    This is very simple; either you vote for Trumps dark side or you don't.
    But on his side there is little freedom to breath.

    I don't mind mentioning it at all.

    Especially because a GDP growth of 2.3%/year is a mediocre result when unemployment is less than 4%.

    That demonstrates that "Trump's strong economy" is a myth.

    Obama averaged 2.1%/year over 8 years.... wth an employment rate of 5,5%....

    "... not at the expense of anybody including minorities." How do you know that? How do you know that you were never hired over a woman or a black man with equal qualifications?

    And sorry, but you shouldn't point your finger at me over any of this. All I'm saying is that most of us white people have not had the same level of scrutiny leveled at them for everything from college acceptance to housing to the job market. We can't possibly know what that's like, we can only try to empathize.

    I get that you've worked hard. So have I. No one helped me, and many times I was hindered by white men who were in charge of hiring, or were department heads with the mandate to choose who got promoted and who didn't. In spite of that adversity, I managed to earn a six figure income as a single mother with no college degree, so don't lecture me on who has a strong work ethic.

    "Destroyed the black family" my ass. How arrogantly insulting.

    So, COVID-19 patients are not crowding Houston's hospitals? There's no emergency there? No shortage of ICU beds, ventillators, etc? It's all been made up? All of these reports are horse pucky?

    There are more where those reports came from. Go ahead, dispute them if you can, but please supply proof, not just your opinion.

    That is correct
    Not my burden to prove things wrong. They are positive claims you need to prove them correct.

    Of course there are no countries with zero covid. But there are countries where there are so few cases that there is no need for a lockdown or in some cases social distancing measures. What is funny is that we are putting ourselves through all this misery when every other developed nation has demonstrated that we can open up safely.

    Getting the virus under control so we don't have to social distance doesn't require zero cases. What we need is a lot of testing and tracking and locking down cities that have a re-emergence of the virus.
