On June 26,2020 Hannity asked the president, "What's at stake in this election as you compare and contrast, and what are your top priority items for a second term?"
Trump responded, "Well, one of the things that will be really great, you know, the word experience is still good. I always say talent is more important than experience. I've always said that. But the word experience is a very important word. It's a very important meaning,"

Trump is a moron, That is what he will do in a second term, Nothing!
Loser Alert, can't wait to hear all of the promises Trump will make if he gets re-elected.

Don’t be so certain about your daddy only having one term. I find it hard to believe enough people would root for a country that looks like CHOP. If that does happen and we get our first black female as prez (since there’s no way Biden can last more than a year before they carry him off), you will see firearms sales at levels never seen before in world history.
I find it hard to believe enough people will forget about 250,000 dead Americans due to *POTUS pathetic attempt at leadership. He had a gimmie shot at being the hero. It would have been so simple. All he had to do was embrace science, listen to the authorities, and put his voice behind it. Parrot the talking points of the CDC. Use the power of the fed to assist states. Push for the country to unite and beat the virus that every other country did. Instead his only concern was division, the stock market and his re-election.
Not sure why you think Biden wont last a year, the grifter, to prove his virility drank a glass of water and only needed two hands to hold the glass. Damn!, Give that man a participation trophy.

Bingo!! You should not be brought in and subjected to legal consequences for something that is not a crime. So I can pull you in to the cop shop. Start questioning you, have someone else question you. Put words in your mouth, find out you said something different to one of the people in the room, then boom. You lied to the cops. Off to jail. That is basically what they did to people.

So. They expected over a million deaths if the mortality rate was what they were initially saying. We will have people dying at the rate of 250,000 month regardless of this. We lose 250,000 a year to medical malpractice. Don't see any of you here trying to play politics with that. Just love your god complex where you think a man in a suit can stop a virus.

We can use death, hospitalizations, total cases, positivity rate in tests...any data point you want. Pick one. Which do you want to make the bar? USA #1.
Our testing is still terrible, it still takes 2 weeks to get results in Houston. Houston is the largest medical center in the entire country. They cannot handle the covid cases, the hospitals across the south are overrun. You are like a child holding his blanky over his head, hiding from reality.

the banning of the mask, is not to tell people to not wear one, its due to pressure from the police departments, as they are already being defunded and pressured, and they cannot be forced to run around issues citations on people not wearing them. Yes, we all agree, wear a mask, but if you dont, should our police, who are already short handed do police work or chase non mask wearers. Also, should we get social workers to run around and issue tickets instead, as this is an opportunity to see how well social workers issue tickets, as this is what some cities will be moving towards as they defund the safety net we have as a society.

Aslo, we will be removing all seat belts, airbags, and collision detection devices, and when an accident happens, we will have someone call your Onstar and help you emotionally manage your pain.

Im not a FOX watcher so dont even bring that BS in here. Even if i gave you the benefit of doubt (I am not) What did he do since the 1st of Feb pal? Its JULY. "We have to open up the country", thats what he did. No mask mandate. Let the states fend for themselves. No unified messaging, in fact, the opposite. Downplay, lie, cover-up. His standard playbook. When congress approved $$ assistance, he handed it out to his donors, his voters, churches...think Goya got $$?? then to cover up, said you cant see how we distributed. Fawned over red states that re-opened too soon, even if they lied to cover up.

He had an easy victory at his finger tips. All he had to do was walk along with everyone. Instead, he tips the apple cart, went against every advisor he has, went with his gut.
He wont change. He just said schools have to reopen. Why? Why educate kids, he refuses to listen to the educated. Speaking of educated, are you keeping up with the most recently released book by his niece? Sad.

Really? Which red state has defunded police? Banning masks is not to tell people not to wear one? Bizarro world? You dont think this causes More confusion? Why not just agree with ALL experts and tell all Georgians to mask up? Im not saying cops need to enforce. The Fed, the State, and local should all say the same thing, one message, wear your mask. Thats it. One stated goal. Anything else creates divide. We have tried this, Division and more than one message does not work. It does not help in battling a pandemic for the WH and its staff to push disinformation trying to discredit Dr. Fauci. Does not help to take the CDC out of info gathering and distribution in favor of trumps HHS. No one trusts TRUMP (70%). Every single day another F up by this administration.
Hope you and the fam are feeling better.

Georgia is not red, its blue, maybe the rural areas, but hotlanta is as blue as you can get. have you seen the looting, killing, and violence on the TV. The mayor wants the police department to issue citations. I get it, but they are already over run with BLM and left insanity, burning wendys, killing children, etc etc they cant manage it, We have a mask order, in our town. Its not a problem, because we dont have looting and rioting every night.

Uh... you know if people believe that you are killing children (and you are), you would hope they would be upset about it. Abortion is pretty much 100% death rate. Covid not so much.

California has not listened to Trump at any turn, yet California is shut back down. I thought mask up was the answer? According to you California has been following the "rules". Yet, here they are shut down again.

How about the bar you and the media have set that protests did not spread covid. Here we are one month out from all the protests and everywhere is shutting down again. Pretty sure Houston has had major leftist rallies.

Let me assist you with your math.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tate-...b6df6cc0b0852c

But Republican Governor Tate Reeves spelled out on Twitter what that would mean in reality and concluded with a blunt call for people to wear masks in public.

“I’ve listened to some people argue that the rapid spread of cases is a good thing, and we need to reach herd immunity in Mississippi and elsewhere to survive,” he wrote. “I’m not a health care expert by any means, but I am a math guy.”

Then, Reeves crunched the numbers. He noted that experts say herd immunity kicks in when 70% to 80% of the population has been infected, but started his hypothetical experiment from an optimistic scenario in which herd immunity took effect at 40%:


Reeves said the state had been seeing 700 to 900 new infections a day, with more than 1,000 new cases on its worst day. That had already led to a hospital system “stressed to the point of pain” and on the verge of being overwhelmed.

“To get to 40% infections, we’d need 3,187 new cases every day for a full year from today,” he said. “We would need to TRIPLE our worst day ― every day ― for a year.”

I dont live in Ga, my brother does, live in SC. Also have a home in PA. So multiple colors. all with the same problem, come nightfall, larger cities have riots and violence, in all states, much less in red state, but same. the police cannot run around town chasing mask violators. Its just redic and while we should be doing everything we can to contain this, the police cannot be the solution. CA has had a mask ordnance and they are back on shut down.

So the left wants no police, but they want police to police the mask less? WTF so what does the left really want? You want to defund them, let people destroy property, loot and protest, spreading this thing like wildfire, then let them go all the while the police are running around handing out tickets? Seriously?

No one gets free medical, all pay for it thru taxes. They would just all pay less. Its less expensive when you have one buyer because they can negotiate better price. I would rather pay several thousands more a year in taxes and pay $6,000 less for insurance, its a net win. Math. Better price for prescriptions, better price for everything. Do you think Walmart can swing a better deal on 12 million tires than i can for a set of 4? of course. Economics 101.

Clearly CA hasnt been following the mask rules. The only person i can verify is masking up 100% is me, all i can control. Congrats tho, you did strike a chord. It pisses me off we are Fing up. I am proud of my state and this is embarrassing, it hurts. Im sick of staying home. I dont know if its covid parties, bars, anti maskers, protesters, kids....If i knew, i would be spouting off about it 100%. Come on CA people, we are better than this. Much, Much better.

No man, first sentence, "Im not expecting cops to enforce". My point is simple. Have one response, wear your mask. From pres. From Gov, From Mayors. If that, we would not have an anti mask crusade by trump supporters, from Kemp supporters...
Look at it this way...
If you tell your son he must do his homework before play, and his mom tells him he has to do his homework before play. You tell your daughter she has to do her homework before play. Mom tells daughter she has to complete homework before play. If teacher says they should complete their homework before play. This is a consistent message, easy to follow. If any of those adults says, nope homework isnt important, you dont need to. See the damage this creates? Multiply by 330 Million.

Do you think Walmart can swing a better deal on 12 million tires than i can for a set of 4? of course. Economics 101.
Actually one buyer means less competition. Someone somewhere is going to lose. If the buyer wins, doctors and nurses close up shop, if doctors and nurses win then the buyers (us) have no recourse.

with your walmart talking point - for starters, the quality goes down, down and down because of the price pressure against the suppliers to cut corners. Difference is there are many tire manufacturers that have incredible supply chains who want to move inventory. Medical is not the same. You can not simply increase inventory of doctors and nurses and facilities. Money on the buyer side actual will increase costs because the supplier can increase prices until a only certain portion of the buyers can afford it. That is economics 101. That is why medical insurance as a whole has been bad for medical. More people with insurance, the higher the costs go. It was ok when it was a dirty little perk for the few. Case in point, try and take a animal to the vet now. See what that costs you. Guess what, the have pet insurance now. They just socialized your costs up the ladder.

Of course there will be some who lose. My guess it will be a pharma CEO and a few others. Docs and nurses around the world have it figured out. All are employed. We are taking out the middle man and their 34M per year salaries. You dont seem to realize the USA is one of the very few developed countries that do not have national healthcare. It works everywhere. The more insured the higher the cost...but not per person. Per person drops. Remember all the times you talked about the death squads that would be making the decision who dies if Obamacare passed? Well FYI, they are happening today because of covid and not enough hospital room. Doctors are deciding who lives and who dies. Refrigerated trucks parked behind hospitals to hold the overflow of dead.
I brought my big bad 55 lb. Chocolate Pit home from the vet Monday. She had a little bump i wanted removed. Thought it would be just a little incision with a local anesthesia. They put her out, IV, 7 inch vertical scar down her side, found a couple more things on her foot, two more cuts and stitches, hey, while shes out we could clean her teeth? She needs her rabies shot. $1335.61 was our total. I hadnt spent a penny on her for the last 4 years. Shes lucky i like her.

Unless you have something to back any of the rest up...We dont know, check that. I dont know why CA erupted. It could be anything. I read a story today about Sri Lanka, they had one guy that was responsible for over 1100 cases, half of Sri Lankas cases. Google him, Prasad Dinesh AKA "Patient 206". I have been pushing for testing and contact tracing, thats how we find out what works, if we have a super spreader, like the singer at the church.

testing is a mess, I have one with a false negative, 6 yr old, but have to retest in 3 days, 1 with a false positive, then a negative, now a positive Then was told, we dont need to test, just act as if you have it and then we will do antibodies in 30 days. the tests are available and ready to go, its the fact that viral load has to be so great to get a good test. This is the same all over the world. So I asked, and have 2 of the multiple doctors, in our PC group. who are foreigners state, most countries are only testing one time, and not over and over again. so does my 6 yr old have it? Does my wife? And my test is negative again, although i had the least symtoms, my wife had the brunt of it.

TO MAKE SURE THIS IS NOT TWISTED, we did not have any issue getting tested, its that the rapid, and the RNA all have 50% chance of error, and timing is the key. So if you think you have it, wait until you really feel like ****, then go get tested. or you will be false neg,

Uh huh sure. Is that why per capita the US spends twice what other developed nations do?

Pop quiz, do you think it's a great idea to have your healthcare tied to your employment status? So you know when a pandemic happens which has economic shock attached all of a sudden 20% of the population are unemployed and have no healthcare. Oh yeah that sounds like American exceptionalism all right.

It doesn’t matter if you, delta or anyone else here believes it or not. It’s a fact. That’s like asking, “so do you believe the earth is round?” In libtard fashion, why don’t you just “follow the science” on that one since that’s the most PC god of you libtards these days, right? In fact, why don’t you use science to explain how a fetus, without those first 6 weeks after conception can just poof itself into existence and become a baby. Good luck. I’ll wait.

Sure. And the scriptures probably also support butt pirates’-behaviors in your warped world too, right? Do tell where you’re getting your info from. I always love it when you idiot libtards ignorantly try to mis-quote or reference some non-existent or out of context Scripture to fit your narratives. It’s like hearing a 5-year-old rationalize why they deserve to eat desert instead of dinner or talking about the “10 food groups” where most of those groups are sugar-based.

Is there a libtard with more than two brain cells that can post here? This is getting ridiculous.

Mark, real fact, a girl cannot be pregnant until one of her "babies" is implanted in the uterus. There has never been a baby born outside of the uterus. It is not easy to get pregnant, only 50% of the woman's "babies" will get implanted in her uterus. Millions of babies born in the US each year, millions more of your "babies" that do not attach to the uterus, go in the garbage or down the toilet. There is no law you can pass or outrage you perform to save these "babies" it's just nature. So, according to your warped sense of understanding, Most "life" goes down the toilet!

That has zero to do with the discussion. Zero, my ignorant friend. You’re effectively saying, “look look over here” with some other separate topic. Your facts don’t mitigate the murder that happens when a baby is killed and sucked out of its mother‘s uterus.

Wow, Trump continues to completely self-destruct. He keeps this up he's going to actually put Texas in play.

He keeps shuffling advisors and now has (another) new campaign head (how many of the priors are convicted felons again?)... Too bad the fish rots from the head.

I would think that too if I only listened to the MSM. Propaganda polls had Hildabeast up by 11 points in 2016 and a 98% chance of winning. Can’t wait to watch a debate. Doubt Hidin Biden will come out of his basement though.

Hyperbole aside, your characterization of the 2016 polls (not talking head percentages based on flawed national polling) is way oversimplified and it actually wasn't nearly as far off as you say (unfortunately for Trump). As you know the election was decided by an incredibly small margin in Penn/Wis/Mich between two historically-disliked candidates. Trump is still disliked as much or more as in 2016 - he's a known quantity now - and he doesn't have the benefit of facing Clinton this time around. Biden is experienced milquetoast and a decent human being and after 4 years of Trump people are more than ready for experienced milquetoast and a little decency lol. I'm not saying the campaign and democrats don't have to remain vigilant; there is going to be even more republican efforts going towards voter suppression than usual.

if so worried about deaths... why do you keep buying guns? Are you planning on "playing God" deciding who number is up? Why do you not take covid serious? 140,000 deaths in less than 6 months, death rate increasing. Is this a "look over here" why 140,000 die? There are significantly less abortions annually than our increasing covid deaths. It isnt even close.

How can you over-simplify polls? Did a single poll on any msm channel or site in 2016 have Trump winning? I rest my case.

You want me to over-simplify something about polls? Here goes: Polls can’t be trusted any more. Case in point: I’ve personally been polled via telephone three times this year and twice last year. Like most conservatives, I’ve hung up every time. Agree on Trump being disliked. I still dislike him myself, but I’m still voting for him because of his SC noms as well as not wanting to move towards socialism. I also don’t want this country to look like Seattle or Portland and it will if Hidin Biden gets in.

You, Mark were the one that said life begins at conception, in biology it is called a zygote, when the egg is fertilized by the sperm, this is what you are calling a "baby" Millions of these "babies" you speak of never make it to the uterus. Unless you think God puts the zygote in the uterus(you said my discussion of the fertilized egg has zero to do with the discussion) then, there is not much difference between the cells of the zygote before they are implanted in the uterus and after they are implanted in the uterus, they are both multiplying cells.

There actually may be some science behind, emotional and mental disorders, regarding some of the left ideals. there are studies occurring now, showing extreme lefts are 1505 more likely to have mental disorders. No joke, i think its a disease for some.


Figure 8. Meta-analysis of mental illness indicators on relative risk scale compared to moderates. Error bars are 95% bootstrapped confidence intervals. The error bar for moderates has 0 height before it was the reference group. Total sample sizes shown at the bar bottoms.The results confirm the general pattern from before, namely that there is a strongly elevated risk for mental illness among the extreme liberals (+150%), a small increase among the liberals andslightly liberals (+29 to 32%), and somewhat lower rates among conservatives and extreme conservatives (-17 to 24%). Breaking the pattern, slightly conservatives had a marginally increased rate (+6%). A variant of this analysis was also carried out by including the happiness metrics reverse-coded. This produced materially the same pattern, but was weaker since the happiness items had a weaker relationship with political ideology than the mental illness variables had.

Who is suffering from a mental disorder?
For the record, I’m largely talking about YOU, retard and my insults ARE funny. You just can’t recognize humor-due to your libtard mental illness. The Biden/bear costume post timing was gold. The bear was sniffing the lady just like Biden is known to do.

The fact that you have yet to denounce the acts of your rioting buddies in all the libtard-controlled cities is very telling. This country is being turned upside down by radical leftists and all you’ve done is try to make up stories about some fictitious right-wingers. Your rabid daily attacks on Trump daddy while ignoring the actions of the left are disgusting and so hypocritical.

Figure 8. Meta-analysis of mental illness indicators on relative risk scale compared to moderates. Error bars are 95% bootstrapped confidence intervals. The error bar for moderates has 0 height before it was the reference group. Total sample sizes shown at the bar bottoms.The results confirm the general pattern from before, namely that there is a strongly elevated risk for mental illness among the extreme liberals (+150%), a small increase among the liberals andslightly liberals (+29 to 32%), and somewhat lower rates among conservatives and extreme conservatives (-17 to 24%). Breaking the pattern, slightly conservatives had a marginally increased rate (+6%). A variant of this analysis was also carried out by including the happiness metrics reverse-coded. This produced materially the same pattern, but was weaker since the happiness items had a weaker relationship with political ideology than the mental illness variables had.
Yeah I was actually serious when I posted that. No one who has any critical thinking abilities and/or who isn’t totally evil can be a libtard.

And that's one of the biggest problems with "the right" ascribing the worst possible interpretation to an opinion you disagree with.

I dont think its a lot of the extreme lefts fault. As more and more studies will arise, it may become a medical condition. Just like homelessness is heavily weighted on drug related issues, and mental disorders. As things become more extreme, scientist want to know what is actually happening. When people start to say, these people are crazy, like clinically crazy, we may see new medications to treat this disorder. I hope we see future treatment, there are a lot of people who need help.
