2020 Politics Thread - Enter At Your Own Risk - RULES IN OP

[techtre2003]

I was going to post the link where I got this from but the site is garbage, just filled with a bunch of ads. BUT what they posted is actually true, give it a try:



When you enter a number and “new cases,” the top stories are always about coronavirus or COVID-19 and that exact number. No matter the number you enter and no matter the search engine you use, it will reveal a story or multiple stories about COVID-19 or coronavirus with that exact number.

So stupid. Either do it, or don't. We could theoretically play the start/stop/start again game until the end of time.

Um yes, where have you been??? If everyone wears a mask and wears it properly when they go out in public it dramatically reduces the spread of the virus.

There's two kinds of masks. There's actual masks. Then there's 'masks', which fit the bill, but aren't actually masks. Then you add in constantly fidgeting with them, not wearing them right, etc etc.. which always happens. So unless you're going to force everyone to wear an N95 at all times, I don't think 'wearing a mask' is particularly effective.

Why in the world should we be funding Hong Kong for internet freedom?

Its really strange that Trumps hair looks exactly the same as it did when he did the Apprentice?

He really has not had a chance to get going with all the BS thrown at him.

The guy is a punching bag at this point and it is easy to hate on him. It is fascinating how resilient he is. He really needs to draw Biden out of his basement and let people realize how far gone Joe is.

I can think of plenty of reasons not to vote for Trump, but I can't think of a single reason to actually vote for Biden.

I've never laughed so hard!!! How can you possibly believe any of this? He was handed a country that had 8 years of growth, the media isn't against him they just use his own words. The severity of the Corona virus in this country is because he disbanded the pandemic task force that was put in place for things like this and then said it was a "hoax" for almost 2 months when we could have been getting things in place to slow it down. Again Im not a huge Biden fan at all but a monkey would be better at running the country than Trump. I mean at least a monkey can't talk or tweet! LOL

Well that's fake news.

Hmm, the ol' desperate excuse-making by way of quantum mechanics gambit, eh?

In that other universe, was Trump an entitled brat for the first 70 years of his life, like he's been in this one? If so, sorry, no change at all regarding the course he's taken as President. Maybe over there, he got out of military service by lying about having flat feet instead of lying about having bone spurs.
The possibilities are endless.

I'm not asking you to like Trump, or to vote for him.

But to defend the media and act like THEY are innocent is nothing but a dumb take.

Nice to see you're hating Trump before 9 AM, though. That's special.

To be honest if I was Biden I wouldn't say a single word. Every time a question was asked Id just play videos of all the dumb stuff Trump says and tweets. He would never run out of material.

Dumb takes abound from a few in here.

That'd be a pretty good way to lose.

But memorable, I guess?

I don't think so, if you put that much dumb nonsense in front of people and still lose then we are a lost country.

Maybe he'll try it. It'd hide the dementia.

I am genuinely curious as to where you get your news from.

you can't say idiotic stuff in press conferences, rallies, tweets and not expect the media to report it. He brings it all on himself because he can't speak with any type of intelligence. Super Duper Missile.

As opposed to defending his incompetence 24/7 like you do?
Remember that day you posted 70+ times in this one thread?
Trump made 200 tweets that same day.
Where do you go-getters find the time?

I can't post after 9am, since I'll be at work.
So special.

Add up all ratings of all media, and you'll find the vast majority of people don't watch (or listen to or read) it at all, particularly where political matters are concerned. The straw man these apologists have constructed for failed politicians by way of blaming the mainstream media (a completely meaningless term from the day it was invented) is so big, it can be seen from space.

Out of Trumps own lips. He said it repeatedly for months. That it was a Democratic hoax to hurt "his" economy. I didn't just make it up, he said it over and over and over and over again.
