American Politics

[QUOTE=Canada;2584339]Learn to count. There was more than one infected as 7 from Texas were infected plus an undisclosed amount of democrat staffers were infected. White House refused to give numbers to press because it was excessive.[/QUOTE]I will say this once more. [B]all[/B] of the Texas Democrats who left in protest were vaccinated. All. Of. Them. That means 100% in case you didn't know.

You must be intimating that trump's vaccine achievement was a failure.

[QUOTE=Canada;2584341]Republicans promote the general welfare of its citizens. Democrats put its citizens in welfare. Democrats call all successfully citizens racist. Democrats hate American prosperity just like they hate the flag and anthem. They demonize anyone that works hard and is successful as privileged. They blame their laziness on Republicans who work hard. That is why they hate capitalism and want socialism. They want to not work and have the same prosperity as hard working Americans. I agree life is unfair. [b]If you are a lazy democrat you do not make millions[/b].[/QUOTE]Jeff Bezos disagrees. So do Bloomberg and Steyer and many others. Sure, more billionaires are Republicans but your your highlighted statement is, as usual, patently false.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2584311]I have tried posting this before. Perhaps it will go through this time.

Studies have shown that between 6% and 16% of eligible American voters [B]do not have an ID that is valid for voting[/B]. Not that this will mean anything to Republicans, unless, of course, those without a valid ID are likely to vote Republican.

Given that some Republicans have made public comments about loving Confederate generals, it wouldn't surprise me if many Republican states will pass laws restricting voting to white, straight, male property owners.[/QUOTE]Firstly, the stat is most likely false. Secondly, anyone who wants to vote can get a free photo ID very easily. If they can't be bothered to get one, they clearly don't care about voting. That is absolutely their right. Nobody has to vote.

General Robert Lee was universally recognized by friend and foe alike as a great man. It is sad that after so much was done over many decades to heal the wounds of the Civil War, the modern-day left are trying to tear them open again. Almost as if they want a second civil war.

[QUOTE=DioRetz;2584317]That says it all. You live in another reality.[/QUOTE]Nope. I live in the reality in which the only person killed at the Jan 6 protest was Ashli Babbitt, executed unjustifiably by a security officer. No law enforcement or legislators were killed or even significantly injured (I look forward to some leftist citing a fake news article about a congresswoman who tripped and grazed her knee, or a policeman who pulled a thigh muscle).

Imagine an "insurrection" in which nobody was killed or injured and no buildings were damaged or burned.

[QUOTE=Canada;2584297]Bottom line is everyone vaccinated and not vaccinated have to wear masks on airplanes. They did not as their own photos prove. They also went to a reception with Pelosi and staffers who are not vaccinated. They did not wear masks their also as their social media posts prove. These democrats don't believe in the science and don't believe they have to follow the rules like you and Zi have to. This wasn't fabricated by Fox or Trump. They posted their photos proving this on their own social media. No denying it. Now you can believe this never happened and deny it happened because you did not see it on fake news CNN but it is true and it happened but here you are supporting them because they are cowards who fled Texas.[/QUOTE]This is exactly the point. The anti-democratic democrats demand every regular person wears a mask and submits to their various rules whenever they fly, but the leadership dems consider such rules beneath them as they jet around in their private planes. Only for the little people. Just like their communist predecessors in the Soviet politburo.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2584376]Yale Medicine says different because the delta variant is different. The original COVID strain had a different infection profile than delta. And since many "at risk" individuals have been vaccinated, guess who is getting infected now? Unvaccinated people under 50. [/QUOTE]Great. Fit, healthy people under 50 are at virtually zero risk. Once they are infected they will create antibodies and have stronger resistance in future. Once this happens to most young people, we will have natural herd immunity and will be better able to live normally with the virus, as we will eventually have to.

[QUOTE=MiamiSammy;2584335]One more frustrated potential millionaire who'd rather believe in the Tooth Fairy than government that is proven to "promote the general welfare" of it's citizens.[/QUOTE]As I said, this debate was settled last century. Communism was the ultimate government scheme to "promote the general welfare of its citizens". How did that work out?

While watching Tokyo 2020 (or is it Tokyo 2021? Nobody can decide) I noticed a rather hilarious alteration to the Olympic motto. It used to be "Faster, Higher, Stronger", or in the original Latin: "Citius, Altius, Fortius".

The new updated motto is "Faster, Higher, Stronger, Together", or in the Latin: "Citius, Altius, Fortius. (wait for it). Communis".

Yes, "Communis (t)". They really aren't even trying to hide it any more.

Yes, some of that crap is Voter ID-"related." But it isn't that the more likely Dem voter does not have an ID. He HAS an ID alright. It's just that the new Repub law now requires him to have one a Repub is more likely to have and not one a Dem is more likely to have.

[/QUOTE]Yeah, Gun License IDs are valid for voting, but University and College Student IDs aren't. ...kkkk!

[QUOTE=MiamiSammy;2584336]One person infected isn't a "superspreader event". The silver lining of all this is that 98% of those dying are anti-vaxxers (Trumpists).[/QUOTE]Nope. Average age of death remains well over 80, and with co-morbidities. 98% of those dying of (or rather, with) covid are still people who were sadly on the way out soon anyway.

[QUOTE=Canada;2584299]I have seen it for myself and so have you. Trickle down economics works. My Hispanic yard maintenance guy hired 50% more people and bought new equipment under Trump economics. My pool guy started a new company and started building pools. New houses were being built and all contractors had 3 month to 9 month backlogs. New restaurants and small businesses were flourishing. Unemployment for every race was down in USA under Trump. More people got off welfare under Trump. Unfortunately under Biden this is reversed. Now under Biden small businesses are closing mostly in democratic states where democrat governors shut down restaurants and small businesses allowing large corporations like Amazon, Costco, Home Depot and Walmart to take all the business away from small mom and pop operations. You saw it and you ignore it the same way you ignore the border crises and rising crime. Trickle down economics worked under Trump. Our border was secure under Trump but you are not intelligent enough to see that. You cannot see anything other than the fake news of CNN and China and Putin puppet Biden.[/QUOTE]The London School of Economics says that "trickle down economics" doesn't work.

But what do they know? They are professionals and you support the orange buffoon.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2584406]Jeff Bezos disagrees. So do Bloomberg and Steyer and many others. Sure, more billionaires are Republicans.[/QUOTE]Yes, but even then.

[QUOTE]The nations wealthiest are more likely to be Republican than the average Americanbut just about as likely to be voting for Biden.[/QUOTE][URL]https://www.forbes.com/sites/chasewithorn/2020/10/20/even-americas-billionaires-are-tilting-toward-biden-in-the-2020-presidential-race/?sh=4f8939262bb7[/URL]

No one wants the Red Menace. If Republican politicians weren't such incredible cowards and hypocrites, they would've dumped that lump of human waste a long time ago.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2584406]Jeff Bezos disagrees. So do Bloomberg and Steyer and many others. Sure, more billionaires are Republicans but your your highlighted statement is, as usual, patently false.[/QUOTE]I repeat. If you are a lazy democrat you will not make millions. I am sure Bloomberg and Stryker and pretty much any other intelligent individual would agree. That fact that you don't agree explains that you are not one of the intelligent ones.

And that's only if you ignore the unnecessary Trillion$ he added to his deficits in order to "buy" those middling results. Factor those Trillion$ in and his economic results pre-Trump's Pandemic were truly crap. Post-Trump's Pandemic and factoring in all of his economis decisions, his overall economic results were hands down inarguably the worst of all time.

This was as good as Trump's lousy economy temporarily got pre-Trump's Pandemic:
