American Politics

Imagine if our last president would have given a crap about the American people instead of his reelection? Imagine his first televised COVID address.

"My fellow Americans. By now you have heard the reports coming out of Europe and the rest of the world. My experts, public health officials and the CDC say that COVID is serious. And I do mean serious. We're going to shortly be in a Public Health war. A war the likes of which we haven't seen in 100 years.

Some of you are old enough to remember the privations, rationing etc of WWII. I will tell you now that this pandemic will be worse than that.

While we will ramp up research into a vaccine, remember that vaccines take time to develop and manufacture. Maybe 12 months. Maybe 18 months. Maybe 24 months. But in the meantime, we have only a few measures to keep us safe. One is mask wearing, one is physical distancing and one is sanitation. The other measure is a physical lockdown. The less we leave the house, the fewer chances the virus has to infect us.

So, initially, here's what we're going to do. First, stay home unless you are an essential employee. Officials are currently working on determining who is essential and who isn't. If you aren't essential and your last name begins with A thru L, you can leave the house M, W and F for groceries, medicine or doctor visits. If your last name begins with M thru Z, your days are T, Th and Sat.

If you are in violation of your days or not wearing a mask or not keeping your distance, you will be fined. $500 for the first offence, $5,000 for the second and $50,000 for the third. We aren't kidding. We will do whatever it takes to keep all Americans safe.

We firmly believe that this crisis won't last more than 3 months. But we don't know exactly.

As of now, few people will have an income except for essential workers. The government is suspending all rents and mortgage payments for until the end of the crisis but nobody will lose anything. If you had 13 years and 4 months left on your mortgage with a payment of $858 per month, at the end of this crisis you will still have 13 years and 4 months left on your mortgage and your payment will be the same.

Until a vaccine is developed and everybody is vaccinated, it is up to US to take care of US."

Imagine if the former guy actually gave a shit about all 330,000,000 Americans instead of the 1% and his cult followers. He'd still be president and 600,000 Americans wouldn't be dead.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2571544]Thailand is as far away from the USA in every regard as it is possible to be. The correct comparison is with other Western and American states, which shows the US has a similar rate to most (and lower than many).

And why haven't you addressed the point about Biden / Pelosi wanting to keep flights coming in from China long after Trump banned them? Why are you communists so stupid?[/QUOTE]Thailand doesn't fit your narrative so you ignore it Australia doesn't fit either so you ignore them. Trump screwed the pooch with the virus and everybody capable of rational thought knows it.

You (or Canada or some other fascist) pointed out that COVID was here in November, trump's flight ban closed the barn door after the horses escaped. It was as useless as teats on a bull.

You can lead a fascist to wisdom but you can't make him think.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2571547]Trump got north Korea under control. They were testing nukes and firing missiles next to Japan for fun during Barack Hussein's regime. Under Trump, that all ended and he came closer than anyone to a peace deal. Ultimately it didn't happen because Kim wouldn't give up nukes, but the situation was calmed. Now it is flaring up again as Biden sleeps through it and his handlers don't know what to do.

And we now know January 6 was organised by the FBI. Dozens of unnamed, unindicted co-conspirators = feds. They knew exactly what was going to happen because their undercover agents organised it, and they arranged for the Capitol police to let the protesters in. It is the FBI who betrayed the country and the American people.[/QUOTE]Stop watching tucker and learn what an "unindicted co-conspirator" really is. Getting a law degree from trump university was a waste of money.

But more importantly, who made you referee, Douche?[/QUOTE]Sorry if refraining from calling other people douches is too much for you to bear. That's truly unfortunate.

I also see you've gone to a lot of pain trying to find some [I] Kompromat[/I] in a bunch of my posts. You shouldn't have. Calling other members names have never been my favorite pastime, so your valuable time would've been better spent elsewhere.

[QUOTE=Golfinho;2571512]Yeah, someone needs to police these name-callers. Calling someone a 'douche', tsk, tsk. [b]That's almost as bad[/b] as calling someone an anti-semite, as also tells more about you than them.[/QUOTE]No it's not. People who spread tired anti-Semitic clichés and long-debunked lies with the only goal to dehumanize Jews and portray the state of Israel as a racist, apartheid country are anti-Semites. What you do is a scientific definition of anti-Semitism. Look it up.

[B]Conservative Outlets Advance Unfounded Theory About Capitol Attack[/B]

It would be a serious challenge if not impossible to identify an aspect of American life, society, economy, national security or foreign policy that wasn't made worse by Trump and his cult following over the previous 4-5 years.

The threat from North Korea and the events of January 6, 2021 are most definitely not the rare exceptions.

Gallup shows Biden's Job Approval rating increasing to 56%, contributing to making him the most approved POTUS on that count since Barack Obama. Not surprisingly, the job approval rating for the disastrous deadbeat failure so-called potus in between never hit as high as 50% in that poll, the first so-called potus in modern history to never do that. Again, not surprisingly.

And Tucker was getting pretty good ratings (for "cable news") then too, wasn't he?

Let's all hope FUX News Channel and Tucker keep up the good work they have apparently been doing for Dems, Biden, "libs", et al.

Biden approval is sinking fast. On border crises he has dropped to 29%. Fox is reporting the disaster of Biden presidency and more people are watching. CNN is still stuck on Trump. 2022 is fast approaching and we will see how Biden policies will be liked. Biden is a disaster both on America and foreign policy. G7 summit proved that.

"Bill would eliminate disparity between powder cocaine and crack offenses.

The administration's endorsement is likely to draw scrutiny from ethics experts, given how the proposed sentencing reform could benefit Hunter Biden, the president's crackhead son. Hunter detailed his "next-level" addiction to crack cocaine in his recently published memoir, Beautiful Things. The late Jim Morrison "was a fucking piker compared to my shenanigans," he boasted.

A mediocre author at best, Hunter is at his most eloquent when describing his love of smoking crack. "The sensation is one of utter, almost otherworldly well-being," he writes. "You are at once energetic, focused, and calm. Blood rushes to every extremity; your skin ripples with what feels like bumblebees. " That first hit of the pipe is like "being transported—at something like warp speed, as if riding bareback on a rocket ship—to some far-off, beautiful place."

Hunter is also a fan of powder cocaine. In Beautiful Things, he recounts using it in Monte Carlo during a Burisma board retreat. The controversial Ukrainian energy firm paid him up to $50,000 a month for the privilege of putting his name on corporate documents, enabling his addiction to crack, which will always be his drug of choice.

Given his family name and political affiliation, the First Son is unlikely to face any legal consequences for his "nonstop depravity. " But the new legislation would ensure, at least in theory, that Hunter would be treated more leniently if charged with a future crack cocaine-related offense.

President Biden's support for the legislation, called the "Eliminating a Quantifiably Unjust Application of the Law Act," is consistent with his campaign pledge to eliminate the sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine. Yet it is Biden, as a USA Senator in 1986, who authored the legislation that created the disparity by imposing a minimum five-year sentence for trafficking in 500 grams of powder cocaine or just 5 grams of crack cocaine. . .
