2020 US Election (Part 3)

It was actually 600,000 but okay.

214,000 are the combat deaths not total deaths. I noted that in my post. Yes total deaths were 600,000 or more.

Trump has spent 10 months making things worse.

I refuse to absolve him of responsibility for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019.

But wait... Fauci lied about masks, Biden voted for war in 2003, Hillary was investigated for emails, and Obama was born in Kenya. How can all those years be Trumps fault? He was just the POTUS and controlled the House and Senate for 2017 and 2018.

 

[Takhisis]

This is relevant how?

Both the Brexit movement and Trump's Republican campaign had significant influence from the Russian state apparatus, for one thing, but even more important in this case is the fact that they both drew upon a sense of unattended grievance, return to a glorious, racist, xenophobic, misogynistic past and bolstered each other mutually as part of a wave of resurgent retrograde nationalism.

Does Borris really have that much support from his people over Brexit? Last I heard it was all a ham-fisted affair, and that if the referendum was done today instead of four years ago you would have a very different result. So going by that logic where's Borris' and crew's populist "Virtual Confederacy"?

Building on what I said before, the Brexit referendum happened at the same time as Trump's presidential run. That Brexit would be revoked -as you mention- if another vote were to be held right now just highlights the parallels.

McConnell and Ryan made me do it! It was a pinky swear and I always abide by those because they're the best swear!

trump promised the vaccine like by April 2020 .

I've always heard the 'right to daily CIA briefings' (for up to 10 years after leaving office?), but it's unclear how true that is. Rumor is Bush Sr. was the only one to exercise that 'daily' right, but he was also Director of the CIA for a time. Many other ex presidents got access for limited situations (meeting with foreign leaders for example).

Trump should not get this right. He couldn't keep his mouth shut while in office, can't be trusted to keep it shut while out of office.
Biden won't be seeking Trump for 'wise' advice.

Talking heads on NPR today were speculating that Trump may attempt to sell national secrets to offset the mountain of debt that's coming due. Scary stuff. My only hope is he's too incompetent to retain anything.

Given how cheap TVs and cameras are nowadays, any wahoo can set up their own official-looking studio.

Personally, I thought Wally George had a great setup with the American flag and the space shuttle picture.

Not a fan of his program, I just really like this set.

A weird nostalgia-based TV network plays advertisements for re-runs of that guy's show and he seems pretty nuts.

Lols... Yup... check out my edited post above... Kellyanne gets trolled by The Lincoln Project.

I read that the Lincoln Project has also been bankrolling some of the court fights against all of Trump's 'election fraud' cases.

Depends, if you include disease and deaths in POW camps military deaths reach 400,000. Add in the civilians and you get 600,000.

Though honestly I think your kinda stretching it to say this disease is so deadly it's like the civil war. Also to most people it's not considered as tragic as it is a more peaceful death to die of this sickness then as a result of direct violence.

 

[Kyriakos]

Not seeing how covid can be compared to the US civil war in any way.
Republican voters were whining about Obama, but at least they had to deal with a dem gov for 8 years. Trump clearly is not as refined as Obama, but this doesn't quite explain how he had to deal with massive attacks since day 1.
Anyway, the crucial issue here is that - surprise - there will be other republican presidents to come, and you may not like them either. Who knows, maybe some will be even more unlikable to you than Trump was. Some dem presidents will be more unlikable to republican voters than Obama as well.

 

[Patine]

Hm, you know it isn't that terrible to have the other party win an election too. Dem party had Obama, with 2 terms, then came Trump. I doubt he will be put on trial for legal stuff either - due to political reasons.
Anyway, I hope the US will have a better foreign policy under Biden/Biden's handlers, but I am never optimistic about such things.

The terrible part - the true injustice, the cheating, corruption, and rigging of elections, the real high crime - is no other party BUT the Duopoly parties are even permitted to have a chance of winning through the institutional suppression of Third Party and Independent candidates - and thus all viewpoints, policies, ideals, and socio-political stances outside the bailiwick of narrowing focus of the Duopoly's ideological spans.

This sounds like a bad Cold War movie cliché. Can you please give me a REAL answer?

 

[r16]

this will never end because Trump promised the vaccine by April 2020 or whatever .

Kayfabe!

I appreciate the emphasis on entertainment in George’s program, rather than commentary or entertainment masquerading as news.

Suspend your belief for a while and just take it for what it is—UHF in the ‘80s.

 

[Samson]

Trump is not blameless, he's just not alone. Democrats are trying to hide their complicity by blaming him for everything, thats sleazy but hardly a surprise after years of Russiagaters lying to us. I strongly suspect more people died because Fauci and the medical community told us the virus wasn't that bad and masks weren't needed.

If people died because of Fauci, then that has to be put on Trump not the democrats as he appointed him.

and a true warrior sacks anyone placed by the previous goverment anyhow .

Exile for the turd.

Trump has a good fit with Napoleon indeed

Perhaps that island should be big enough for not only some golf resorts, but also a small airport with a military camp to get finally his yearly military parade in nice uniforms with some airplanes flying over.
And ofc a palace with lots of gold and mirrors.

Trump or no Trump, I think we would have had those years anyway.

If you'd let me be in charge I'd have ensured we had MMXVII, MMXVIII and MMXIX instead.
