Kolek planning to go pro
82 got his fix, he should be all good now for about 10-15 minutes now? When did you become the campaign manager for uncle joe? We have what we have right now. Not many could have withstood the barage of false info leading up to and thru the impeachment, the appointment of kavanough, and the everyday b.s. as 82 has just shown. Every government official including the potus should be vetted but the extent to which this guy has been challenged, unlawfully should be a bar assign. Lost is the respect for the position and lost is the ability for our media to provide true checks and balances. The major networks have chucked any semblance of “journalistic” integrity the only people,that helps are the DNC and its minions and even there it’s harmful because it blinds themselves to the corruption they’re allowed to get away with. And that hurts all of us We had new trade deals that no predecessor before even attempted. He brought back a lot of manufacturing that another thought he needed a magic wand for. He’s getting a fare share of monies for the UN as we’ve been disproportionately were paying for. I don’t even want to get into the previous unemployment numbers. This country was humming while the rest of the world was coasting at best I understand why people don’t like this guy, but that does give everyone a license to change what he has really done so far. Nor the right to abuse the office and try to oust him through a dishonest/ criminal coup he was voted in, he’s got some good people to help us out of this mess
Only 150...yes, that is NOT a typo, only 150 people have died from Covid-19 that do NOT have pre existing conditions..It's time to re-open the country.https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/04/numbers-150-americans-date-no-pre-existing-conditions-died-coronavirus-0-9/
Guru here are the numbers of Americans with pre-existing conditions in AmericaDiabetes: 34 million (American diabetes association)Hypertension: 100 million (American heart association)Cancer: 1.7 million new per yearChronic respiratory disease: 37 million (American lung association)So not all additive, but a significant portion of Americans have ‘pre-existing conditions’
Wow ... lots here, rocket.1. Elections Have Consequences. Totally agree. So let me ask you this ... Did the 2018 election also have consequences? You know, the one in which suburban women were so repulsed by the president that they showed up in droves to turn House districts that had been Republican for decades over to the Dems. Which, of course, led to the impeachment that you so often decry. Don't like it? Tough! Elections have consequences! As for the consequences of the 2016 election, we're certainly seeing them now. We as a country elected a man who ran on a platform of science denial, who spent years appointing unqualified people to important jobs (and firing them and hiring the next group of unqualified hacks), who was uniquely unprepared for the presidency, and who cares only about himself. Tens of thousands dead, and probably more, not to mention all those scarred for life physically, financially and emotionally. Tough consequence.2. I'd Rather Have a Businessman. Yep, quite a self-made man he is. Given hundreds of millions of dollars by his daddy, who also bought him bone spurs and taught him how to be a racist slumlord. Bankrupted several casinos before he had to shut them down; oversaw the collapse of the USFL; defrauded Trump U students before having to shut his scam school down; ran Trump Steaks, Trump Jets and numerous other Trump enterprises into the ground; had to shut down his foundation because he used the money illegally and on himself (there's a shock). How much is your heroic businessman actually worth? We don't know, because he's the only major-party presidential candidate in more than 40 years to not make his taxes public - something he promised to do 100 times (100 lies).3. All I Care About Is the Middle Class. That's noble of you ... and it makes you very different from your emperor, who doesn't give a rat's rump about the middle class.4. I Trust the "whitehouse" More Than Xi Jinping. Interesting that the leader of that "whitehouse" actually said this about his own hand-picked Fed chair, Jay Powell: "My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powel or Chairman Xi?"5. Uncle Joe Will Fix This - Oy Vey. Yes, rocket, it's impossible that Biden - or anybody else with a pulse - could have done better than the self-proclaimed Chosen One, right?6. Chinese Wanted This. Well, I guess this is a step up from blaming the Deep State, at least. Gotta run now, rocket, and make sure my tin-foil hat fits right.
Before this pandemic hit, the country was in pretty good shape
Look, the country is likely going to "open up" sometime in early to mid May. Maybe Memorial Day at the latest. And we are going to have to see what happens. Hopefully we will be able to mitigate and manage, because going back into stay at home would be disasterous.
Get ready for disaster.
Based on the available data, when would you have shut all businesses down and ordered a nationwide shelter in place? Now consider if YOU were a small business owner, with a modest income, living in South Dakota - would you have felt it was "fair" to have your livelihood taken away at a time when there were 2 reported cases in your state, while New York had 30,000?
Further, do you really think a "non-racist" like yourself would have shut down travel from China on January 31. Or from Europe on March 17?
You do realize the the middle class and low income segments are the most devastated from the economic shutdown, correct? Those of us with college degrees, are in a far better place to cope with this shutdown - many of us haven't been laid off/out of work, and have savings accounts/retirement accounts.
Prior to a once in a 100 year pandemic, Trump was presiding over a period of record employment & stock market, rising wages, rightfully confronting China, Mexico, and Canada on trade FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR MIDDLE CLASS, took out Al-Baghdadi, ISIS neutralized, drawing down our troops abroad. The guy has been far from "unhinged," a war-mongerer, etc. Remember all the doom and gloom predictions put forth by your favorite news sources once he was elected - predicting war, stock market crash, etc. "Unhinged." "Mentally unstable." "Journalists" offering those opinions. Classy.
I can understand not liking his demeanor, tone, arrogance, and how he conducts himself - but, all in all he has done a good job. Of course, pulling us out of Paris Climate Accord ruffled feathers, yet that decision had just as much to do with again trying to level the playing field with China, as it did anything else. China is the enemy, and ultimately directly responsible for the gutting of our middle class, regardless of who was in the Presidency prior to Trump. From Reagan to Obama - all are guilty of facilitating China's rise to power/dominance. If you give a sh$t about humanity, you certainly should be disturbed and aggrieved by how China treats its people/workers.
I'm proud of how our Federal, State, and Local governments have come together to fight this once in a century pandemic. You have both sides of the aisle working their asses off to solve this problem.
The country should open up ASAP. I just wish we would do some of the things that will make it less chaotic and sustainable. I am not interested in going back into this lockdown mess again in 3-4 weeks.
You may be right. But those making the economic arguments are eventually going to win people over.
Guru, assuming the data in your link is accurate, you make a very good point. However, I think the responses to you are also spot on as to the number of people who have these co morbidities. It appears that half of the adult population in America has at least one of them.
No ASAP would be wrong. States are peaking shortly. Two weeks after peak is when people should go back. I'm thinking May 10.
The point is that we need to concentrate on what "opening back up" looks like. Not on if we are, or if we aren't.
Guru, there are reasons why news sources lie "the gateway pundit" are not trustworthy. This article is complete and total crap. Pure political propaganda. I'll go through why.1. The preexisting condition death rates they are reporting are not for the US. Those co-morbidities are really really old. They come from Worldometers, and very old Chinese data. They have nothing to do with the US. 2. Even then, they either misreport the data intentionally, or did not bother to understand what they are actually reading. Given that the table they are referencing is clearly, labeled "Death rate all cases," I think it is the former. The death rate is 0.9% for ALL people that contract the virus that have no pre-existing conditions. That means that if all of 506,008 people that have been infected in the US have no pre-existing conditions, then 4554 people in the US would have died without pre-existing conditions.Since the US hasn't been releasing all the co-morbity analysis we cannot know. Also, even being overweight is a "co-morbidity." So if your BMI is above 25, you have a co-morbidity. 71.6% of Americans are considered overweight.This is why it is important to choose your news source wisely. This article is deliberate mis-reporting, to push an agenda that would endanger the health of Americans.
