We do mail in voting now and it would be more secure from Russian hacking, which might be one of the real reasons Trump is against it 

 

Hard copy, check

Easily verifiable, Check

Already done and works, check 

 

 

Let's hope that Nancy and Chuck make this part of the bailout 

  No oversight, check

  Easily corrupted, check

  The 21st Century dream of banana boat republics that want the UN off of their backs for rights violations but still intend to violate basic rights, check

 

 

  Let's hope that anybody with a brain and has an ounce of moral fiber never codifies this.

And imagine thinking your vote actually counts all along? Lol all these guys are the same. Obama continued taking away our rights after George W did the same and now Trump is continuing that tradition. 

You don't think there is a difference in dedication to providing health care between the parties? Trump is literally trying to take away health insurance from 30 million during a pandemic

I’m just hoping there’s still a country standing after all this. 

My contention is that your approach might leave our country still standing but it wouldn't be the same country. Buffalo_Gal nailed it. Our ancestors put their lives on the line for the best, freest and most prosperous country this world has ever seen. I for one, will not let their sacrifices go for naught because I'm afraid to put myself in a position that if I act stupidly I might catch a virus that kills about 2% of those who get infected. I have a picture in my mind of those true heroes that stepped off those landing crafts in Normandy with a hail of bullets coming at them and they kept moving forward. With that picture in my mind, I could do anything less than casting a vote?

Here is yesterday's "with" becoming "from" Q&A:
 

 

Seems akin to how we report infant mortality that makes it seem worse than the rest of the world.

Both sides brushed this thing off in the earliest of stages. We should have closed down the border the second we heard about this. Also telling people this will all go away in a couple of weeks wasn’t good advice at all. We needed quicker decision making at the very start. 

 

You, I and everyone knows that this was never going to happen.  In the future though...

This seems an awful like the author is jumping to the conclusion that covid-19 works like malaria to support the idea that ant-malarial drugs work to stop it. Is there any research to support this or is it just some dude's theory?

 

HCQ opens zinc channels which allow zinc to enter cells and arrest the process that allows the virus to create DNA templates to make more of itself.  Malaria doesn't work that way.

U.K might be first European country going after China.

 

After the Conservative MPs in UK directed their ire towards China for downplaying the threat of coronavirus, a London-based Conservative think tank has explored possibilities of legally suing China on 10 possible grounds.

 

 

The Henry Jackson Society has compiled in its 'Coronavirus Compensation?' report that "China should be sued under international law for trillions of dollars for its initial cover-up of the coronavirus pandemic which has caused more than 60,000 deaths and trillions of dollars in economic damage," London bureau of The Sunday Morning Herald reported.

 

 

 
 

The report by the think-tank said that damages caused by China amount to at least the £3.2 ($6.5 trillion), which is being spent by G7 nations. It should prop up their domestic economies because the governments forced their citizens to stay at home in order to contain the virus’ spread.

 

 

The report emphasised that China owes it to the Australians too, the amount of the compensation that came from Prime Minister Scott Morrison's unprecedented $130 billion in government support for workers and businesses.

 

 

 

UK's observations and reports are in contrast to what China thinks. Senior Chinese figures, including China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian, have "endorsed speculative and groundless claims that the virus was imported to Wuhan by the United States military, instead of emerging at the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, where wild, live animals were traded", said the Sunday Morning Herald report.

 

 

The report says that China could be sued under 10 possible legal avenues, including the International Health Regulations. These regulations became more stringent after the SARS outbreak. China also tried to cover up that outbreak.

I would start by cancelling America's debt to China.  And then go from there.

If there ever was a time when you should just shut up and leave the conversation, this would be the time. Your totally partisan misdirections here are not doing anything to move the conversation forward.

No, no they are not. We are never going to lose a war when it's all about military power. We can lose our country by losing our courage and beating ourselves.

There is not evidence to back this up. 

 

Should absentee ballots be declared illegal?

 

Yes.

 

If you can't be bothered to or are unable to make it to a polling place, then tough.

 

Unless, of course, you're active duty military deployed elsewhere. THOSE people can be accounted for.

Only thing is your game leads to death. 

Many met their death fighting for the rights we have today. They loved their families , their country and the world. Times sure are different. We are in a time of soft, woke, triggered individuals that think the government and society at large owes them everything. Including protection from the vagaries of the natural world.

... You're saying people shouldn't be voting out of fear of a virus. Yet complaining that the gov't is trying to take away our rights? 

 

That's... interesting logic.

If you surrender to fear, there won't be.

What is your hang up with mail in voting?

 

We do it in my state.  Not sure what the rub is.  I get my ballot in the mail.  I fill it out in private.  I put in the envelope and take it down to the drop box.  Are thinking they could change the results then?  What stops them from doing that in regular voting?

It would seem to be the very people who believe we should go door-to-door throughout this country and check every single American for the Covid virus would have no problem if we go door-to-door to sign everyone up for a Voter ID program, and then make arrangements to transport anyone who needs it to go to a voting booth...with their new Voter ID.

 

No Voter ID? No vote.

It's rife with fraud. 

 

In CA, ballot harvesting is all the rage. And it's all the way dirty. I watched it happen in 2018.
