US Election 2020

Nah. She'll probably get a pardon

Only if she wears her MAGA hat at the trial.

Spoiler: TRIGGER WARNING

Always the race card

 

[Techne]

Wasn't aware my editorial choices had to be vetted through the local branch of the WH press office.

Say no to Kleptocracy propaganda. That includes WH BS.

 

[SoldierMan]

Please list examples of his:

Republican Values
Honor
Loyalty
Honesty
Openness
Rectitude
Kindness
Family Values
Work Ethic
Moral Seriousness
Intellectual Precision
Sense of History

...You want I should list all the other traits she mentions, or is this enough homework for now?

Ah you mean like most politicians, unless of course only Democrats politician don't lie, cheat, steal and self-serve. Yes of course only Reps do that

And I'm not taking you up on your ridiculous list, it's just pathetic.

Now that folk, is a honest to goodness whatabout.

 

[SoldierMan]

Now that folk, is a honest to goodness whatabout.

I edited my post, read that last bit.

 

[greg0205]

I edited my post, read that last bit.

My observation stands... My guy lies but all politicians lie is the original whatabout. Just ask your Russian pals.

Now, let me make sure I'm addressing the right "last bit" so we don't end up with days of wailing, "my quessstttiiiooooonnnn!"

This bit, right?

Yes of course only Reps do that

Politicians are, by nature, self-serving but *politics* is about choosing a side.

The side I've chosen chooses to help people, not corporations or lobbyists.
The side I've chosen thinks folks should get living wage and unemployment benefits, not be indentured serfs to send into infected packing plants in a pandemic.
The side I've chosen thinks staying home and wearing a mask is more than reasonable during a pandemic.
The side I've chosen thinks we should follow science in a pandemic, not teevee ratings and appearance.
The side I've chosen manage to protest without guns because we're not cowardly man-babies.
The side I've chosen thinks everyone has a right to healthcare and doesn't have lawyers in court trying to kick folk off the plans they have now.
The side I've chosen thinks education is critical and should be free, and not for the financial gain of an in-group family.
The side I've chosen values women and fights to ensure they have autonomy over their own bodies.
The side I've chosen thinks there should be accountability, not blocking folk from testifying and abusing the court system to delay that accountability.
The side I've chosen thinks diversity makes us better as a civilisation.
The side I've chosen thinks kids shouldn't be in cages.
The side I've chosen chooses a right to life over a right to guns.

I could go on, but you get the picture.

Is it perfect? No. It's a work-in-progress and it always will be.

So...

Politicians are, by nature, self-serving but... I choose the side that most reflects who I am, and I hope that when a lying, cheating, stealing and self-serving politician shows us they aren't really one of us, that we show them the door.

Both sides have numbers in the win and loss column here, but...

The strain on my group - group mind you - to head in the direction I prefer is greater than the tug of a single individual... while your side has traded principle for power and debased itself at the feet of a single, lying, cheating, stealing and self-serving god-emperor.


We good with your 'I edited my post, read that last bit' and 'yes of course only Reps do that' bit now?

'Swastikas and nooses': governor slams 'racism' of Michigan lockdown protest

Gretchen Whitmer says heavily armed men and Confederate flags at state capitol ‘depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history’

Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan issued a rebuke of the armed protesters who gathered inside the state capitol last week in defiance of statewide lockdown orders, saying the demonstrators embodied some of the “worst racism” of the nation’s history.


“Some of the outrageousness of what happened at our capitol depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history in this country,” Whitmer said during a Sunday interview on CNN’s State of the Union.


Last week Donald Trump had said of the protesters: “These are very good people.”


Hundreds of protesters, many not wearing protective face masks and some armed legally with “long guns”, gathered inside the statehouse in Lansing on Thursday as lawmakers debated the Democratic governor’s request to extend her emergency powers to combat the coronavirus pandemic. The tightly packed crowd attempted to enter the floor of the legislative chamber and were held back by a line of state police and capitol staff, according to video footage posted by local journalists.

The irony of protestors brandishing Confederacy flags to protest a lockdown.

You know, the literal bunch of losers who launched a war to protest their right to lock people up in slavery and restrict the freedoms of those slaves. Yes, those people.

Sad Greg, sad.

But I'm pretty sure you know what sad means, Gnarls.

Now go and google gaslighting and we can move on.

Deplorables Amirite? What do you think you're intimating with the above genius?

Why don't you get a clue first.

Key coronavirus model will revise projections to nearly 135,000 US deaths

The US coronavirus outbreak has altered daily life in almost every way. Here's the latest updates on US Covid-19 cases, deaths, the lockdown, the government response, unemployment and more.

Key coronavirus model will revise projections to nearly 135,000 US deaths


An influential coronavirus model often cited by the White House said in a press release that it plans to revise its projections to nearly 135,000 Covid-19 deaths in the United States, an increase that one of its researchers tied to relaxed social distancing and increased mobility.

The model, from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, previously predicted 72,433 deaths as of Monday morning. A press release from IHME said the full set of new projections will be released later this afternoon.

Deflection from an NPC? Damn Gnarls, NPCs becoming self-aware? Say it ain't so.

Jeesh guys lighten up, it's fake news.

"Excuse me!"

Deflection from an NPC? Damn Gnarls, NPCs becoming self-aware? Say it ain't so.

Not if the responses are scripted like yours seem to be. No comprehension is a trait too.

Astonishing how casual the discussion of an additional 65 000 Americans dying can become.

135 000 dead would mean Donnie's presided over the fourth deadliest event in US history... Only WW2, The Civil War and the 1918 pandemic were deadlier.
