Why should I be pissed off at Cuomo? Because he had the balls to acknowledge his errors and change his policies rather than continue to downplay the coronavirus as "the flu" like Covid Donnie has done for the last six months? Cuomo acted like a real leader, taking responsibility for his decisions, while Covid Donnie's actions have simply been a parody of leadership. Covid Donnie's response to the coronavirus has made him easily the worst mass murderer in US history.

Be careful what you wish for ... Trumplets confuse spray-on tan with good health, bluster and bullying with good governance, and irrational behavior with mental soundness, which is why they're getting their panites in a wad because Biden looks, speaks, and behaves like a POTUS should, not like some sick cariacature of a wannabe dictator like Covid Donnie obsessed with self gratification.

I'm 70 years old and I have some comorbidity conditions. It's not "because I said so". It's because my birth certificate says so and my doctors over the years have said so. That settles it. Exactly this. The only question is if Trump will leave with dignity or not. When the Electoral College confirms Biden as the president-elect, it's all over for Covid Donnie except his decision on how he's going to exit: will he be present at the undoubtedly masked and socially distanced inauguration ceremony like every other outgoing POTUS or will he make a sad spectacle of himself by sulking in the WH, or more likely, at his favorite golf resort.

I wasn't addressing the poll. I was addressing the quoted Tweet "twice as many voters think the FBI should be prosecuted ...". A government agency is not a person and cannot "be prosecuted". You don't have to be a constitutional scholar to understand that very basic concept. That speaks to the quality of "the sources" the Trumplets embrace as gospel.

Luck isn't the only thing, but the poster I replied to said "luck had nothing to do with it". Of course it did. The Jests could have drafted Allen instead of Darnold.

How the hell can the FBI be "prosecuted" for anything???? It's NOT A PERSON!!! Dumbasses post this too stupid to be true manure on Twitter and every Trumplet on PPP laps it up like my dog does the roast beef drippings.

He's totally and completely mismanaged the coronavirus pandemic since the very beginning, which as a 70-year-old with some comorbidity conditions, directly and significantly negatively affects my life.

LUCK dominates the entire draft, but especially when teams suck it up and draft a QB in the first round. The chances of a kid as raw as Allen was coming out of college even being discussed as an MVP candidate in his third season are infinitesimal. This is why all the analysts are talking about him. Lamar Jackson was a terror running and passing at Louisville. The pros didn't like that he ran so much, and Louisville isn't SEC, so he was downgraded. Allen didn't pass very well at a much smaller program than Louisville. IMO, the only reason he was considered a first rounder was simply because of his arm. If you don't think the Bills lucked out with Allen, you're rewriting history. About fifty percent of all first round QBs drafted since 2000 have been either outright busts or disappointments, many of them guys with just as big arms as Allen and a lot better mechanics from the get-go. He's the one of the very few "project QBs" drafted in the first round in the last twenty years who has actually panned out. Allen's improvement is unprecedented, and it's a testament to his temperament, intelligence, and will and determination, which are impossible to gauge in the draft process, which is why they're called "intangibles". Luck wasn't just on the Bills side. Allen got a good helping of it, too. Allen came to the Bills at the right time, when the organization had changed enough so that it was willing to support him with coaching, protection, and training. If he had come to the Bills in 2004 or 2013, or if he'd been drafted by the Jests, he'd be considered just another failed "project QB".

He claimed that the MSM didn't report on the trouble in Wisconsin, which was untrue since I saw it on CBS or CNN yesterday and on either Spectrum or CNN earlier today.

Pascal, Fortran, COBOL, C, C++, SQL

Actually I saw a report about the protests in Wisconsin last night and another one on another station this morning. Maybe you need to get better news sources.

Suck it up, buttercup.

I have never wished Trump dead; he deserves to live with the consequences of his stupidity, reckless, and selfishness. A RW poster claimed that I would vote for Covid Donnie if he was a Democrat, which is absolutely untrue. He's a dictator wannabe who admires Vladimir Putin excessively and has made it very clear that he will sacrifice anyone and anything to get what he wants, which in 2020 is his re-election. I have never pretended to have anything but hatred and disdain for Donald Trump. Apparently in your view, the deaths of old people and people with chronic health problems from Covid-19 don't matter. Well, then, what the 60k younger healthy people who have died from Covid-19? Are they just, to quote Covid Donnie, "losers". What "MINIMAL self-help health recommendations" did any of the people who died from Covid-19 fail to "practice" other than wearing masks and social distancing? You don't know that any or all of the coronavirus victims failed to practice those except for Covid Donnie himself who chose to politicize mask wearing. If any of this makes me a "hypocrite", then you don't even know what the word means.

That's true but in any state or community, large or small, a ten fold increase in coronavirus cases resulting in hospitalizations could easily overwhelm the health care system(s) there. The good news is that the health care community is more prepared for a second wave and has better procedures to deal with it. The bad news is that some politicians continue to downplay the seriousness of the pandemic. It's much worse than the flu, and we don't know if the many deleterious effects that have been reported in recovered Covid 19 victims last only a month or two or are permanent.

Well said.

21,311 Americans died in September. Do you really think that most Americans, regardless of political affiliation, would be okay with more than 200,000 deaths a month??? That would be as many deaths from Covid-19 in one month as between January through September.

Just because you'll hold your nose and vote for Trump even if he's behaving like your batshit crazy uncle, don't project your views on others.

Well, don't let facts get in the way of your partisan story line. The Electoral College has resulted in 5 elections where the winner of the popular vote wasn't elected: 1824, 1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016. The 1824 and 1876 were decided by deals made in Congress and the 2000 election was decided by the US Supreme Court. So much for the having "worked as intended until 2016 when the Dems cried foul".

The direct election of the POTUS is about 1 man (or woman), 1 vote. If you live in New York or California and vote for Trump, your vote doesn't really count because the Trump voters are so out numbered by Biden voters. If you live in Mississippi or Wyoming and vote for Biden, your vote doesn't really count either because Biden voters are so outnumbered by Trump voters. If you live in Florida or Pennsylvania, who you vote for may very well determine the election so your vote counts more than the votes of some other American voters; in 2000, GWB won Florida by 537 votes and won the EC by 5 votes although he lost the popular vote by about half a million. Without the Electoral College, all votes would count equally regardless of the voters' states of residence. As for the small population vs large population argument, that ship sailed long ago. This is not 1789 when states were isolated and there were significant differences among them. This is not 1920 when half the US population lived in urban areas and half in rural areas. This is 2020 when 80% of Americans live in urban metros. We are one nation with a predominant national culture. We should elect our national leader on that basis rather than pretending to be just a collection of disparate states. That issue was settled back in the 1860s, and how we elect our president should reflect the reality of modern America, not an outmoded eighteenth century fear of direct democracy.

Why is it "bullschiff"? Covid Donnie has gone off the deep end. Whatever limited amount of self-control and sense he had in the past has vanished since he tested positive for the coronavirus. First he leaves the hospital to go joy riding around Bethesda, Maryland so a few hundred of his supporters can stoke his ego with their signs and flags. Then comes out and belliicosely declares there will be no coronavirus relief package until after he's re-elected followed by his back-tracking the very next day. Now he spent hours ranting about a non-existent coup and demanding arrests of his political opponents on Twitter. Those are the actions of a sane leader, a man with the authority to trigger a nuclear holocaust?

Time to read up on American history. The Compromise of 1850 was hammered out to keep the number of slave states and free states equal as territories in the Lousiana Purchase, the Mexican Cession, and Texas Annexation became states. It maintained the balance of power in the US Senate but it also enabled the South to force the two political parties of the time, the Democrats and Whigs, to nominate presidential candidates who were acceptable to the South as candidates needed southern electoral votes to win the presidency. It averted a civil war in 1850 but set the stage for the Civil War in 1861 because during the late 1840s and through the 1850s, the population in the North and West (we would call that the Midwest today) exploded, especially with an influx of immigrants from Ireland and Germany who didn't want to compete with Black slaves or were philosophically opposed to slavery. In the election of 1860, Abraham Lincoln won a majority of EC votes (180) although he won less than forty percent of the popular vote against 3 opponents, which caused the southern states to secede.
