Well, you have fun voting for Trump. You couldn't pay me enough money to gain support from me.

I do plenty of research and read plenty of news. That's why I am able to form the opinions I have and make an informed decision. And just what is the "lame media?" CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC? Just curious as to what you consider lame. And as much as I disklike Biden, he will have my vote in November.

Repeating falsehoods is also one of your skills which shows me your "research" is lacking something...

Our privilege and responsibility as citizens is to vote; we all own our choices and I don't let a single issue or hatred of an individual's style sway my decision.

Enjoy..

This man needs a mental health intervention. The pain on Cooper and Gupta's faces says it all.

Incompetence played a key role on the bungled testing by the CDC. Apparently nobody was behind the wheel. An utter failure by this administration.

Come on Shaggy..... are you going to keep blaming Trump for everything associated with this virus. If so, are you going to give him all the credit when we come through this with less deaths than every model had predicted? It works both ways man.

Are you old enough to vote? You need to be quiet and let the grown-ups talk.

Did you even read what your buddy wrote? He called Trump supporters Jackass'

I wonder how many of the Trump haters are just so blinded by their hatred they can't even see straight anymore so all they can do is spout off, call people names, and not have a relevant or decent conversation.

Y'all enjoy it while you can.

I appreciate that. Thank you for not calling me an idiot or insulting me like others. I try really hard to be civil, mods have done a great job thus far, but there is way too much name-calling going on for my liking. I'd shut this thread down if it were up to me. I shouldn't need to report anyone, but I am so close.

The CDC is a govt agency and we once had a philosophy about where the buck stops.......we spent years pinning every hiccup of govt on Obama and his failed leadership and I'm not changing my tune because of who is in the WH.

It does no good to say anything. Let them bash away. It’s called Karma. One day they will have their candidate in the WH. History proves that. Everyone has their likes and dislikes. Let them call us names. Heck liberals can call people names and cry when someone stands up to them. One day in 10-20-50-100 years America will have to decide to either fight to be a capitalism or socialist nation. Division is only going to get more bitter. Only the strong will survive when the fight breaks out.

Remember how republicans treated Obama? The names they called him and still do?

why can’t we have a real scandal like tan suit gate or feet on the resolute desk gate, or soldier holding umbrella gate. Man those were some really travesties compared to Trumps.
 
Trump is doing his campaigning during this "presser" filled with his usual self-congratulating. The one good thing imo that he's done in this presser from a bipartisan viewpoint is to strongly compliment Gov Cuomo although that's because Cuomo was strongly complimenting Trump for helping his state. Trump had a morning MSNBC clip payed there displaying those Cuomo compliments toward him. Mutual congratulating?

I'm honestly disappointed in what this thread has become. Keep it up and there will be no place to discuss politics. Be civil or it's gone.

This thread is pretty tame for a political thread tbh. You’re going to have to kill it before November if you want civility. Just wait till Corona takes a backseat to the election coverage in a month or two.

Compared to AmericanWx, this is kindergarten...maybe even preschool...which is a good thing. AmericanWx is totally batshoot out of control and has been for years.

yeah I’ve posted there for years but have decided to just stick to the Econ thread for the most part now. I’m hawksfan over there if anyone is curious. It’s a cesspool and pretty much one sided now.

No doubt the buck stops at the top; on that we agree.

If you had any idea of what was inherited and what the actual political climate is in most of these agencies you'd be aghast; supposedly civil servants but they definitely have an agenda and are in no big hurry to do anything. Loaded with bureaucracy and incompetence...

In a lot of agencies they love to see Trump be blamed for everything and would actually rather he be blamed than do what's right by the taxpayers who pay their salary.
 
I feel like I've only seen the tip of the iceberg there (thankfully I haven't been on the political board mentioned in a long time) but from what I've seen the arguments from the viewpoints of socialism are likely even more vile. This thought is mostly from how completely nuts some people got when their progressive candidate dropped (from what I saw in some places online), but one of those younger people that obviously sides with progressive ideas told my dad he wanted him to die from corona for not supporting Bernie.

Although our last name is in this, here's the proof:

Your father is MS gelbart ? Holy ---- been visiting his site since I was a lil ol 14 year old nerd reading about ice age climate down south. Man is a genius and only source I could ever find that seems to study the paleocology of that era .

So calling people Trumpsters and trashing Trump anytime some can. We’re all adults if can not take being called names like some call other names then don’t read this thread. I don’t get wanting to close this thread down. Or blocking people from commenting or their thoughts or opinions. So no free speech. Have to believe and act a certain way? Sad that a forum wants to silence instead of letting speak freely and maybe some will open their eyes and learn something. If possible create a thread that people enter at their own risk

We're adults not children. We shouldn't have to have groups of people stooping to petty insults and trashing other members because they disagree which is exactly what happened here. It's not about censorship also. It's about making sure this board stays civil. Also as a side note, if you're mature you won't stoop to calling others names constantly. There's enough immaturity in the world as it is. We were civil early on so why can't we be now? I get free speech and all, but members can't sit here and attack people. There are limits.

Agree so can the ones quit calling us Trumpsters or trashing Trump?
 
Yes it’s not bad here yet but if people keep losing their jobs and income and run outta money we will not be far behind. Read the article to those that say stay shut down. The ones in that article saying they would rather die of virus than to go hungry. It’s easy for a lot of Americans to think it won’t affect us. It will because when those economies fail it’s like dominos. They all will fall. Plus those countries like Lebanon that is near economical collapse. Hopefully the radicals don’t take over it. Always a risk in Middle East.
