Political Thread

[Jessy89]

I made an effort in my original post not to call anyone out by name, but I guess no one read my post. Same types of attacks are continuing. Sure you don't have to listen to me, I'm not a mod and you don't know me, but really it's just common decency to treat others well. I expect this type of behavior on Reddit, not here.

"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Your mothers should have taught you that.

Well I’ve been kicked out of the Caronavirus thread for being to political go figure

So you don’t have kids but you can say some people care more about money then their son or daughter. That’s a comment people without kids can say and it’s stupid. You will learn one day my man. Fathers love their kids more then money and you will see how great it is. I’m not going to fall to your level and attack people because I don’t agree with them. I’ll let you do that since it makes you feel better. Like I said before I was 24 once. Keep doing your thang brother!

Yeah I can say that because it's true? So, you're willing to tell me with 100% confidence that of the tens of millions of parents in this country, there's even not a single one that doesn't care about their pocket books over the kids? Whenever you'd like me to help unbury your head out of the sand, let me know.

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but you're the one that decided to step out of line and ask me the question about whether I had kids or not which has nothing to do w/ COVID-19 or political ramifications from it. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. You have absolutely no room to tell me or anyone else for that matter not to personally attack people when you've been doing precisely that.

I’m not attacking you. You made comment and I had a question. Real fathers love their kids more then money. 100%. Relax we need you strong for the next argument!

Not to be that person, but the due to the evolution of Congress, it will never get work done. Congress is built upon greediness and lobbying that defeats the epitome of it, to voice what's right for the people of the United States of America. Because of the two party system, Congress will never be able to function at the capacity it should be doing.

I'm a Democrat and I'm disappointed in what is unfolding, but this is not a time to blame Republicans or Democrats, it's a lot easier to criticize people's decisions without knowing what the logistics are behind them.

Trump saying they are going to open the country in a matter of weeks. But still need 2 Trillion in stimulus?

Can someone tell me exactly what Trump closed anyway? Other than national borders I don't think he has done anything at the state level.

If the founding fathers could see what Congress has become, they would have fled to France and let the British win the war!

In all seriousness, that's why I proposed the term limits. I know it will never be reality, but it's nice to dream. Also a complete lobby ban and a true 3rd party would be nice as well. Once thing libertarians fail at is making themselves a viable alternative, as the recent "libertarian" presidential candidates acted more like republicans, or idiots (looking at you Gary Johnson). Let's remove or significantly reduce Congress' salary as well while we're at it.

Just to play devils advocate for a sec There is too much money to be made and congress is a business. Would I like term limits? Sure but a crook is a crook if its 1 year or 20 years. Does no good if we had termimits and "x" state votes in crook after crook. Same for 3rd party candidates. People say getting rid of lobbyist is the answer. You have to have them but i definitely believe you have to wait a period of several years after serving in congress before being able to lobby. The real problem in my opinion is the voter. The voter has 100% control over term limits

It is my understanding that Trump has been encouraging leadership at the state level to make the call on shutting things down if needed in his conference calls with them. The stimulus is to help those who are losing jobs due to the state shutdowns and general slowing of the economy as national, local and regional restrictions were put into place.

I haven’t seen the evening PC, what was the summary of it?

Yes....as most know, the economy dont roar back quite as quick as it drops. Dont know if it needs to be 2 trillion but im not an economist

Unfortunately the majority of the electorate (and the country) are easily distracted and downright dumb. As long as the Congressman shares the same party affiliation, they will always blindly vote him in over and over. Only way they get voted out is due to a shift in political ideology or a scandal, and even then sometimes not. Do you really think those Senators caught dumping their stocks early are not going to be re-elected, unless they resign (lol)?

 

[Downeastnc]

Trump just brought up flu deaths and car accident deaths. YOU know what that means.

Yeah unbelievable.....ok not really when we consider who was speaking but still. Also hearing Trump sidelined Dr Fauci since he was out there saying we need to shut down more etc......so don't expect to see much of him anymore.

This I agree with. As far as the senators selling stock, investigate them. If the followed rules and regulations so be it. If im not mistaken Burr is retiring so there is that

 

[LetItSnow]

Yeah because keeping the stock market and big business afloat at the expense of American lives is the solution here. Anyone who like Trump, thinks we'll be going back to normal in 2 weeks needs to get their head checked.

I haven't see where Trump said that; do you have a link or is this just another one of your "thoughts?"

 

[LetItSnow]

It's kind of like saying the plague wasn't so bad because billions of people die every century.

And this is what? A strawman? If so it's on fire from how crappy it is.

I'm surprised your mother hasn't kicked you out of the house yet and when there's not much brain matter it's easy to hurt.

I did read that and did write it. Grow up; or is that all you're good at; hurling insults from your mother's basement?

Look who decided to crawl out from underneath their hidey-hole to immediately sling mud and personal attacks at literally everyone! I smell a permanent ban coming on.

Look who decided to keep on being obnoxious. Just pointing out the facts; something you clearly can't grasp or you'd quit throwing out a bunch of b.s. then try to accuse others.

Care to answer? Got any links? Doubt it because it wasn't said and you just can't seem to accept that somebody will call you on your brand of crap.

If you can't see that restarting the economy and normal activities within the next 2 weeks isn't an absolutely horrendous idea and a fantastic way to put hundreds of thousands of additional lives at risk, then no one can help you.

Also, consider yourself blocked from now on, I'm sure a permanent ban for you isn't lagging too far behind anyway so it likely won't matter in any case.

Awesome; I guess you'll be right there too given all the crap you've been spewing.

And that stock market and this economy is what gives you and everyone a job and helps us survive. Take that away and then this virus will pale in comparison to poverty and homelessness.

Do me a favor. Find an old couple preferably married for 50+ years. Tell them you would like the economy to get back on track and that in order to do that they need to suck it up and risk everything for the STOCK market.

After one of them succumbs to the virus look the surviving one in the face and say "thanks for your sacrifice I just bought a new 60 inch TV"

Some of yall disappoint me.
