American Politics

Every major USA Economic crash, Depression/Recession, massive jobs losses and bear market of the past 100 years, including this current one, occurred under Republican presidents and well after their policues were in place.

Every major USA Economic recovery, expansion, jobs creation and bull market of the past 100 years (and none of the Crashes) occurred under Democratic presidents and well after their policies were put in place.

Do you really think African Americans are too stupid and ill informed to have noticed that consistent pattern in the history books and much of it easily observable in real time to anyone over the age of 40?

The stock market results are readily available too.

Eventually it is going to become President Harris (Biden turns 78 this November).

Bet there's an opinion of the woman who spent most of her 20's being Willie Brown's girlfriend (when he enjoyed his 50's before becoming mayor Willie Brown of SF in his 60's).

Campaigning can be tough on a democratic love interest, especially when one of them's married.

It's actually the goal of Nancy Pelosi. Make people poor so they vote Democrats. They've been doing it to African Americans for years. Funny thing is they are Onboard big time. Vote Food Stamps.

I hope it's ironic!

I bet if California didn't welcome so many illegals with open arms and give them anything they want there would be no problem extending your unemployment benefits.

Around half of the Republicians in the Senate are telling Mitch McConnel that they won't vote for even a dime of additional unemployment for all United States workers, including citizens.

GOP says fuck off you non essentials. No more relief.

Yesterday the Republican controlled Senate recessed without passing any covid relief legislation.

Unemployed people in California will not get the extra $600 on top of their weekly state unemployment benefits.

I was on unemployment one summer in 1983 or 1984 back when California's maximum UI benefit was IIRC $451 a week.

My understanding is that California's UI top benefit today is close to what it was 37 years ago when I received it for around two or three months when I was in my 20's.

Back on May 15th the Democratic controlled House of Representatives passed the Heroes Act that would have provided the extended Covid relief that the Senate could not get their act together for this week, before adjourning.

Senate leader Mitch McConnell would not allow the Heroes Act to come up for a vote or even discussion in the Senate.

Yesterday Mitch McConnell said that between 15 to 20 senate Republicans would not vote for and coronavirus relief bill.

Senate leader Mitch McConnell essentially refused to allow 48 Democrats and around 35 Republicans see if 51 of them could agree to prevent unnecessary hardship to fall on 32 million Americans currently collecting unemployment.

I bet if California didn't welcome so many illegals with open arms and give them anything they want there would be no problem extending your unemployment benefits. I am sure that brilliant speaker of the house from California would have no problem forking out a few million to help her people. As long as she got to keep about half.

The US government has issued a travel warning for New Zealand over the country's '23 active cases' of COVID-19, despite the fact there are more than 2 million active cases in the US itself, where community transmission is rife.

As the US death toll from the pandemic surpasses 160,000, President Donald Trump is looking to reopen the country and some border restrictions have been eased.

But in a post on his government's travel advice website made on Friday (NZ time), authorities called for increased caution when travelling to Aotearoa.

"As of August 6, 2020, New Zealand has had 1569 confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 within its borders. Currently, there are 23 active cases in New Zealand," the post states.

It doesn't mention that all of the active cases in New Zealand are in managed isolation.

Are you cognitively there like Donald Trump? Here is a sample of the test he took and said he aced, do not take more than a minute to complete this test.

Herman Cain was diagnosed with COVID-19 on June 29,2020 and admitted to an Atlanta-area hospital on July 1. His staff on July 2 said that he was "awake and alert. " Four weeks later, he was still hospitalized and being treated with oxygen. Cain died of complications of COVID-19 on July 30,2020.

Cain had attended a Trump rally in Tulsa on June 20 without wearing a mask or socially distancing. On the day he was hospitalized, Cain praised South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem for not requiring masks at an upcoming Trump campaign event, tweeting "Masks will not be mandatory for the event, which will be attended by President Trump. People are fed up!

Instead of being 'fed up', Herman now is likely just 'iced up' in some morgue in Atlanta.

Once one of the most popular governors in the country, Ron DeSantis is losing his standing among Florida voters as the state's coronavirus outbreak reaches new, alarming levels.

DeSantis, among several Republican governors who pushed in May to quickly reopen their states from pandemic-driven lockdowns, has seen his approval rating dip as Florida experiences one of the worst outbreaks in the country. On Thursday, as the Florida Department of Health reported a state record 173 COVID-19 deaths, a new poll released by Quinnipiac University put DeSantis' favorability rating at a new low, with 41% of voters approving of his job performance and 52% disapproving.

The numbers reflect a 31-point drop in DeSantis' approval rating from a poll the university conducted in late April.

The coronavirus is beating down the black community, the brown community, and the stupid, cowardly, largest portion of the republican party.

It took 99 days from the first diagnosed case of coronavirus until the United States had confirmed one million cases.

It was only 43 more days for another million cases, which got the confirmed cases number up to two million.

The three million case count was reached in another 28 days.

And just 15 days was needed to get to four million, today.

If the number of confirmed cases in the states continue to double every 43 days, we will get to eight million confirmed cases by September 3rd (just before labor day weekend).

And 16 million by mid-October.

And maybe greater than 20 million confirmed infected Americans by election day, Tuesday, November 3rd?

Probably not when mask use increases. Currently we have masks required when in public in 31 states.

That's a pretty lazy response. Can you not do any better?

I am sorry. But this is the worst idea ever for a forum on a mongering site. I come here to get away from "American Politics" and enjoy, albeit vicariously, other peoples adventures in this time of containment. Read the first page. Carry on! .

So on May 18th I replied with this:

If you don't want to read this material.

Then read the other threads and don't read this one.

There are over 1,600 other threads on this website. Why don't you instead read those threads? It's been more than five months since you contributed any other writings on this website other than these two posts above.

You think I'm lazy, and want a better response? How about this one:

Then why would you continue to click on and read through an opinion thread titled "American Politics"?

[Crypton]

Then why would you clicking on and read through an opinion thread titled "American Politics"?

You must be a very 'special' thinking person.

That's a pretty lazy response. Can you not do any better?
