The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
snafu replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
You remind us who the president is with every post you make. As for my post, I never said anyone hopes for death. Everyone knows vulnerable people who shouldn’t get ill because they’re at an elevated risk. Those at-risk people should take extra precaution, like don’t go out during the George Floyd, anti-Trump protests. Go call those people names, not me. ...and again with your claim about November. Again it is twisted so Trump can be blamed. Nice job, you can’t help yourself. My post made the point that Trump is his own worst enemy and there’s no reason why anyone should lie about facts if they oppose him. You got all knotted up and lost your temper over that. Nice job. Why should anyone take you seriously if you post untrue things and then lose your temper when someone calls you out? -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

For anyone wondering why the media keeps flogging a nearly dead horse, here is an example of why continuing the Covid hype is occurring. It is so that people can manufacture outrage over a Trump rally and claim how reckless he is. Just like BillStime trying to use a six year old video of Obama paired with fragments of facts to lay Covid blame entirely at Trump’s feet. Theres enough Trump material to crack him over the head with, but it isn’t enough. People like to hope for more infections and mis-shape the recent past just because they hate the guy in office. -

Oh. You don’t say. Five years ago we were warned about Covid-19. And Trump, the non-President ignored the info. Got it. -

I’ve never seen this assertion shown to be accurate. Do you have a link to something that backs up your claim? I’ve looked. There’s only an un-attributed ABC news story. Do you have anything else? -
She's latched on to her only good argument -- that this motion for Mandamus is not timely. I think Sullivan's attorney is misrepresenting the reason why Sullivan appointed the Amicus. Sullivan's order said (if I remember) that the Amicus was supposed to take the position of the government because in this case there's nobody taking that position. That IS adversarial. She's arguing that the Amicus isn't adversarial.

I think one neighborhood should defend their adjacent neighborhood, and on and on. It would prevent communities from becoming too insular. Since there’s no other thread, I figure I’d just put this here.

If Trump was a far right authoritarian characterized by dictatorial power and evidenced by the forcible suppression of opposition, he would have ignored the Governor of NY and the Mayor of NYC and put troops in the streets of the City over their objections. But he didn't. Hmmmmm . If Trump wanted strong regimentation of society, I guess he would have ADDED to the regulations Obama left on the books, instead of repealing thousands of them. Hmmmmmm. If Trump were such an ultranationalist, I don't think he would ever have offered Dreamers a path to citizenship while trying to negotiate funding for the wall. Hmmmmmmm. And that pesky left leaning press that he's allowed to flourish. Hmmmmmmmm. And that pesky Russiagate investigation that went on for two years without interference from him and harassed his legitimacy. Hmmmmmmmm. I'm no Trump fan, but this thread is ridiculous. Worst. fascist. ever.

Can't there be a far-LEFT fascist?
-
Yes. Yes it is.

Many people have abdicated reason and objectivity and replaced it with hate in their heart for the current President. That's no way to go through life.

I'm in favor of Creative destruction in this case. I don't know whether "defund" is an accurate way of putting it, because from what I have read, it sounds like they're talking about restructuring. A total police budget wouldn't be eliminated, and "policing" wouldn't go away. I honestly think they should use the slogan "repeal and replace".

This team needs an infusion of players. First and foremost a very good goaltender not named Ullmark or Hutton. There are no free agent goalies available who fit the bill and we've got no trade capital. There are three forwards under contract. That's the ugly part. There's really been no history with this current GM which would lead me to believe that he's capable of signing helpful free agents at any cost. He will have to overpay just to make his offer competitive in a free agent's mind. Honestly, the way things look now, this team is in line for a couple more years of bottom dwelling absolute misery.

This question comes from someone who’s not a Trump fan: how exactly is Trump a fascist and what actual policies has he put in place to further that goal? Thats a pretty heavy charge you leveled. You ought to explain a lot more.

Here’s the current status of the roster. Looks ugly to me. Seriously ugly. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/sabres

Democratic 2020 Presidential Primary Thread
snafu replied to snafu's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I actually do this every year with the local elections. Usually candidates are endorsed by multiple parties, so when I see that, I don't vote on the "D" or the "R" line, figuring that the more they tally for other parties, the more clout those parties might eventually get. My infinitesimally small contribution. in 2016, I watched the Libertarian Presidential debate. That clownshow put me off, so they didn't get my third party vote.
