I've seen many Republicans just stand by and play punching bag for the media.
For the first time in a long time they ran into one that punches back.
As far as idiots, if someone thinks the media being biased is irrelevant, I'd say they were the idiot.

I have a question mostly for those on the left. We have been told for years that you cannot require id to vote because voting is a right and people don't have the money to pay for an id therefore it is racist.
Yet, these are the same people supporting the laws that you cannot go into public to shop for food (necessity) without a facemask on that you have to pay for.

Why is it illegal and racist to require someone to have id to vote but it is legal and supported to prohibit someone from even being able to acquire food without paying money for a mask?

can anyone actually look at the media coverage of presidents for even the last 25 years and claim there is no bias? Clinton was lauded, bush was hated, obama was lauded, trump is hated. Just look at positive stories vs. negative stories of each president. The data is overwhelming.

If someone is entering a store, it can be assumed that they own clothing as most stores will not let you in without clothing. If you own a shirt, you can make a makeshift mask.

What if said person only owns one shirt?

I never said media bias was irrelevant, I said that the way the media treats Trump shouldn't change a person's opinion of Trump. If it does, it means they are letting something irrelevant change their mind and letting their emotions get the best of them. Those people are idiots.

Or you could have written, "YouTube bans unsubstantiated quack medical advice, on their own platform."

But it wouldn't slant correctly.

Close enough. Do you want percentages?

Just announced today by Governor Hogan of Maryland:

Coronavirus Latest: Gov. Larry Hogan Hopes To Lift ‘Stay At Home’ Order In May

https://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2020/...-maryland-may/

Since he has claimed before the State needs to see 14 days of decline, I'm not sure when he'll let anything re-open though as there is yet to be any decline except in hospitalizations.

This is the politics thread. Why are you bringing CV into it? Trying to get this one locked as well?

Go back to the SW thread you joff. CV involves almost 100% politics at this point.

Then they probably have bigger problems than whether or not they can get into a grocery store.

Cuomo is a governor I will vote for.

Taxes are LOWER than when he was elected to office. States money situation was great before the virus hit.

Millions the state doesn't have is going to the virus and the feds are saying "declare bankrupcy"
Then you have an economic collapse in the state and a major area of the U.S. going down in shambles; along with the businesses.

I don't know how you could tell the nation, as a POTUS, that drinking bleach is a good idea.

This is the part that should bother any rational person. He was not being sarcastic or joking, he legitimately asked the medical experts at the conference about looking into disinfectant injections.

Hopefully the flounder are biting in the bay.

The mayor is trying to make sure summer still happens there.

Yeah we are supposed to fish one day. Can’t imagine OC losing the summer although I don’t think there’s any chance I’m in Seacrets with 5000 other people. Hopefully some bars open with outside seating. I’ll be happy to chill at Mackeys and Sunset Grille.

They have to eat don't they? What if they can't afford another T-shirt or they don't have the transportation to get to a store that sells T-shirts?



If that argument sounds silly (which it is) that's how many feel about the excuses that are made to not institute voter ID.

Exactly. It's a question any intelligent person could ask (although they'd use a more correct term like antibodies). The fact that people are suggesting he said to ingest bleach is simply moronic. Merely a ploy to play partisan politics instead of looking for solutions.

I had to show this to Joan concerning California, I guess you missed it. New York isn't much better.

Lastly he was asking the professionals, not telling people to do it.

Any rational person would know he wasn't asking about injecting Lysol. He was talking about disinfectants instantly killing the virus and asked about doing injections with something LIKE that. As in, can we find something that can be injected that kills the virus like a disinfectant. I realize the man doesn't doesn't have a way with words but unless you are just playing gotcha it really doesn't take any thought to understand what he is saying.
