Death sucks no matter what age. Do you think he wants to see his kids and grandkids futures destroyed? My dad passed away at 63. I miss him dearly but he taught me we all will die one day and to live each day to its fullest. At 87 everyone knows life is to end at any moment more so than someone at 35. I’m sure he’s lived a great life and full one. I’m glad my dads death was quick and he did not suffer. I would sacrifice my life for my kids anytime to see they have a future and don’t have to miss out on school and sports and living their lives. I want to see my kids making memories. My son is a senior next year. All these kids missing out on proms, graduations and memories. To me that is sad and I would think your grandad would rather see his kids and grandkids having those memories. Again I am sorry.

Honestly any death is sad but 80k deaths is nothing to the suffering and poverty that’s unfolding. These deaths and sadness will pass. This economic damage and what it’s causing will not pass so quickly. Can you say how many homeless and unemployed and suicides and depression is enough before you say we need to open up? 30 million jobless. How many of those end up on streets. We both are neither right or wrong. There is no easy answer. We just can’t stay in our Sip and not expect much more pain and sorrow.

Your statement is a paradox. You could be excused for supporting him once, but to still do so?
Your vision of a successful America must be very different from mine, and much uglier.
 
I say open it up and let the chips fall where they fall. I don’t say this to sound cold or heartless. I say this because I care about the unemployed and homeless as well. The economic disaster maybe the bigger problem here

Pretty sure your kids would not prefer you to be dead so they could go to prom.

Trump supports what I support. He is building the wall I’ve wanted for years. He’s against abortion he’s tough on China. Trump believes in everything I believe in and is why I support him

Video shows food executives being told to remove their masks before discussing coronavirus outbreaks at meat plants with Mike Pence

The vice president also did not wear a mask, though he had already known for several hours that his press secretary tested positive for COVID-19.

Not sure why he would ask them to remove them unless he has a hard time understanding them with their mask on which I have problems understanding people with masks on. Also if they have an issue with it they can always do a zoom or Skype. If there is enough distance between them and the vice president I don’t see any problem with them taking their mask off so I’m not really sure what the big deal is obviously Pence just needs to make better use of how he handles the situation.

I have no doubt my kids don’t want me dead. Duh. It’s not up to them. You obviously missed the whole point. You call me a troll because I post truth. Typical liberal that hates to be wrong. I have another name for you but no reason Because your not worth the time. I don’t want to be banned from this thread. Put me on ignore. I ignore you so please do me the same.

I would say many will be leaving states like NY, NJ, VA,CA,MI,IL and more. If not leaving they will most likely be turning Red or getting closer to being a Red state. Seems most of the people in these states are getting pissed at the liberals.

So basically, damn all of the Republicans that are getting crushed by this? The business owners, asset creators, tax payers...screw those people! Biden is a buffoon at best and a total fascist dictator at worst. It doesn't really matter though. In a few more months, he won't even be able to remember his name.

So? Millions of people live to be 88. My grandmother is 94 and could go at any time at that age but currently there is nothing imminent.

The reality is you all just dont care who dies or how many. Doesnt matter if its kids, middle aged or old.
 
This should get interesting, the judge is basically telling Barr to hold up since this move is highly suspect given Flynn's previous guilty plea etc...calling out cronyism is awesome....

U.S. judge puts Justice Department’s move to drop charges against Michael Flynn on hold

"U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan said in an order Tuesday that he expects individuals and organizations will seek to intervene in the politically charged case."

No, that's patently false. We want as many to live as possible without jeopardizing the welfare of those that are not threatened by this virus (99.5% of the population). If this was the Spanish Flu, killing the young in the prime of their life, we would definitely have a national emergency. That younger cohort is the life-blood of our nation. Most people don't make it to see 88 or 94 and at that age, and to make it there, they need huge amounts of assistance from the younger cohorts. Again, you must protect the young at the peril of the old. It is life's way. Every animal group does this. Humans are no different in light of this natural law. Whenever you have an enormous number of anything, the small percentages are always very large numbers. You have to stop looking only at the total and look at rates and percentages, too.

And it is awful to watch death take it's stand. I don't want anyone to die. But we must put things in the proper perspective and you fail to do that. It can not be "save everyone at all costs". Society can't afford to do it. We aren't living in a Star Trek episode, where energy is dirt cheap, (heck, even they didn't scipt in eternal human life).

Dude, really? At 94 every day, death is imminent. Your heart only beats so many times, regardless of what you do. Heart failure is imminent for her right now! Go enjoy her company while you can!!!!

He actually needs that to happen if he wants to be re-elected come November. Remember, there's at least 3 states he won that have been blue for awhile. If enough of them show up who disapprove of him, he's toast. It could go the other way where they vote for him again, but this is an election not as many will turn out for by history.

Dr. Birx Reportedly Believes Coronavirus Death Toll Inflated By Up To 25%

Well alrighty then. So the recovery % just went from 99.6% to 99.9% for most everyone under 70.
So everyone can stop drinking bleach. Totally kidding and laughing how everyday it’s something new about this virus.
 
The irony in McConnell going with this line of attack is that he is admitting that Trump NEEDED Obama to tell him how to be president. Speaks volumes doesn't it?

Usually the past President leaves a plan in place for the new President who then comes in and revises the plan for his time in office. That’s my understanding of it.

They did. They left a pandemic playbook.

So not only is McConnell implying Trump needed Obama to tell him what to do he is lying when he says Obama left them nothing.

To be sure you googled this to verify for yourself what the truth is correct?

There's a little more nuance to this race. The Cook PVI is even, and though the incumbent is a Democrat, Katie Hill resigned after sexual misconduct allegations, so it's an open seat. In any case, the Republican Garcia is up by 12% with 75% of votes in, so the margin is a little surprising to me. I suppose you could say it could be seen as a good sign for Republicans nationally, especially considering they got massacred in SoCal in the 2018 midterms, although it is ultimately just one race, so we'll see.
