So much fraud...

Oh is this the same guy? https://www.youtube.com/embed/S_6mHMbjla4 4:30 is where it gets interesting

the one that was intimidated by investigators? But why intimidate? i mean there was no cheating right?

There's something funny about Trump bragging about winning Alaska when the AP called it, yet he calls the AP trash for calling states he lost. Can't have it both ways Donnie. Either the AP is trash and shouldn't be trusted or they know what they're doing and are calling states accurately.

I will respond by calling you a silly whatever-the-opposite-of-goose-is.

You and your homies can easily find a corner of Earth somewhere to live unmolested by civilization if you wish. I'd be willing to carve out something like...Northern Mississippi or Central Idaho, but I'd insist on a wall.

Hehe

Yeah, me too. But only if my neighbor to the south of me paid for it.

Haha yes.

I'm not sure how a libertarian regime would be able to pay for anything. I suppose they go from house to house with a hat asking for contributions?

Fine, but if we are going to lockdown no more screwing around. 100% lockdown - no police, no firefighters, no grocery store workers, no ambulance, no nothing.

USPS/FedEx/UPS should press on... we need our cards back from PSA

Agree on both.

We could defund them for a while.

Then who would enforce a lockdown? Or are we going on the shoot your neighbor on site deal?

There'd be no need for a lockdown if people could just wear a mask and stay 6 feet apart when near people they don't live with, especially indoors, along with other common hygiene practices. But because of "MUH FREEDOM!!!" we can't do that.

Side note, I think some health agency needs to do a comprehensive study on the impact of the Sturgis Motorcycle rally in South Dakota. Having 460K people show up, not follow health protocols and then return home seems like a recipe for disaster.

I think Nascar races, monster truck rallies, rodeos, Kenny Chesney concerts, bluegrass festivals, Trump rallies, and civilian militia training events should be allowed to be held without masks or social distancing, on the condition that all such events require the participants to remain quarantined from the rest of the world for a long time.

Right? I don't understand why people are this stupid. Just take it seriously for a couple of months, and this could be largely over. Instead, people refuse, then complain that we are still stuck in this mess.

That was our position as well. The plan was to tax resource exports to the US to fund the wall. If Trump won the election outright, we didn't want lefties suffering from TDS trying to cross the border illegally for free healthcare.

Since the election looks like Biden will prevail, the wall plans were put on hold.

All this can be possible on an aircraft carrier....personally, I think Trump should fly everyone to China where the Rona is almost non-existent (they wear masks when they’re born) and have a “Super Kung-FluPalooza”! Free bogus vaccine included with every purchase of Natty-Ice.

Put everyone on house arrest. Modified ankle bracelets rigged with a little explosives and tamper sensors should do the trick.

Love the Natty Ice idea but I'd go 50 cent PBRs just to get 'em to go. : )

Lol you guys are living in lala land. Everyone is wearing masks and social distancing here and we have been for months. Cases have been rising the entire time. There is literally no way to stop the spread of an airborne virus short of complete global lockdown. Even if we completely shut down the second we reopen the virus will spread again. Nothing short of full vaccination or herd immediately is going to work. And yes I understand herd immunity would take years and probably millions of deaths.

The same NASCAR races that have allowed tens of thousands of fans, and those states are doing well?
