...Biden asked of Trump, echoing the sentiments of many Asylum-goers.

What an absolute disgraceful ******** that debate was. Whether it was Trump refusing to denounce white nationalist groups, Trump refusing to shut the hell up about Biden's kids, or Trump refusing to urge his supporters to be patient if the election isn't counted same-day, we sure did have a BIGLY showing from our GOD-GIVEN Tweeter-in-Chief.

Biden was okayish, not great. Trump sucked. Trump lost if only for the simple reason that he needed to make the race anything but a referendum on Trump and instead he made the debate all about himself and his nonsense. I don't see it moving many votes one way or the other but, when you're 7-9 points behind, "not moving many votes" is a definite loss.

All that aside, I just want to know why Trump wears such shitty, ill-fitting suits. The guy can afford a tailor, right? All of his suits look like he grabbed the first thing off the rack at JC Penny's without even trying it on first.

Some GOP response could be hilarious if this whole situation weren't so dire. ie......

As long as you don't die it's okay to be sick, risk long term health issues, and cost your work place in productivity. That's the current argument, innit?

I think the argument is that, if Trump dies, he didn't die from Covid but from being old and fat so it doesn't count.

Or, the argument is that if he doesn't die, and maybe experiences minor symptoms and a speedy recovery, maybe folks might not think that covid is the automatic death sentence they've been indoctrinated to believe. And then, maybe, they might realize that the ridiculous restrictions they've been subjected to out of an abject fear of having even a small increase in the chance of being exposed to covid are not helping much in terms of health, but are absolutely killing us in terms of economics.

There's a difference between caution and fear. And for the last 5 months or so the Left has leaned very heavily to the "fear" side of that range. They know that when people are afraid, they are more likely to act irrationally out of that fear, and more willing to submit to authoritarianism if it promises to protect them from that thing they fear. I think that we are giving up way too much of our liberty for what appears to be a very very small amount of extra security.

Ran across a bit of funny information. The median age for those who have died from covid-19 in the US is 78. The median lifespan for people living in the US? 78. What this means is that while covid is an additional cause of possible death, it's killing people at the same statistical age as, well, all other causes of death. So yeah, I think taking reasonable precautions makes sense, but the sheer fear I've seen people exhibit is just not a good way to go IMO.

There's also a ton of just plain false perceptions out there about the stats on covid. I've been in arguments with two different sets of friends in just the last week who both argued strongly that covid cases and death rates are rising and have been for months. I pointed to the cdc data, which clearly shows that covid cases and deaths basically spiked in mid July, flattened out to mid August, and have steadily declined in the two months since then. The response, was that they were talkin about California. So I showed the graphs for our state, showing similar trends. Then they insisted, that no, they were talking about San Diego county. It's the county that's experiencing increases recently. To which I showed the county graphs (which I had to go to latimes to get, since cdc, and john hopkins don't have convenient county graphs), and showed... wait for it... the same freaking trend.

Basically, the media only seems to report upticks in cases, never when they fall from one week to the other. So we see these ups and downs, where it'll drop by 60% one week, then go up by 45% the next. The result over time is a slow decrease, but the perception from the media consumer is that it just goes up and up and up. Cause that's all they hear on the news. It's misleading as heck, but that's what is going on. And yeah, in all cases I've encountered, the people who have grabbed onto this false information are the ones most vocal about how important the shut downs and restrictions are. The folks who look at the actual facts are the ones who are more willing to go out, less concerned about crowds, more rational on mask wearing (while indoors, and in close proximity to other people who aren't part of your household), and much less tolerant of the more absurd covid inspired closure orders.

We need more people, and fewer sheeple.

Is consuming a giant pile of straw one of the experimental therapies for Covid-19? Because I'm pretty sure most people understand that recovery from the virus is the norm, not the exception, but that it is deadly enough (and often causes lasting health effects in 'recovered' patients) to warrant the concern.

Something something indoctrinated something something sheeple something something let's kidnap the governor and try her for treason!

I actually don't like using words and phrases like that, since I think they are over-used and are often used as a simplistic attack in absence of legitimate argument. In this case though, I find it fits (and I did and have made the requisite arguments to support it). I have been somewhat disgusted over the last several months looking at the sheer fear that many people seem to exhibit about the virus. The sheer willingness to allow *any* restrictions to their lives as long as "the medical experts" tell them it will make them more safe from the virus.

What do you think Biden is saying when he says he'd "follow the advice of the health experts". Note, it's not like Trump hasn't been speaking to health and infectious disease experts the whole time. He has. He just weighs their advice against other factors (things like liberty and economic effects). So when Biden says that, along with a huge amount of criticism from the left towards Trump declaring his actions as "ignoring science", or "going against what the experts say", they're really saying that we should put 100% weight in the health side of the equation and ignore all other factors.

To me, that's a dangerous concept to accept in a supposedly free society. The same argument could be used to restrict tons of activities, even without a pandemic going on. If you were to ask a panel of health experts if the total number of injuries and deaths in the US would decrease if we say make skiing illegal, what do you think they'd say? It would, right? So why don't we make skiing illegal? Why do we allow people to skydive, or skateboard, or any of a number of recreational activities that are not "essential" (there's the word!), but increase the risk of injury and death to our population.

If you have an answer as to why we don't do that, and in fact why it's wrong to do that, then you should also understand why people oppose the restrictive shutdowns, and things like national mask mandates, and all of the other stuff that the Dems are proposing, but for some reason so many people simply accept without complaint. Um. No. It's not 100% about health. That's not the only consideration. It can never and should never be the one and only consideration. Sadly, so many people have forgotten this.

I haven't seen anyone sincerely use "sheeple" in over a decade. I guess in a moment of desperation, you pull out whatever you've got.

You are sheepling with this very statement.

You are easily the most predictable sheeple on this forum.

In fact I wonder if you don't post here in an attempt to try and unsheeple yourself. But it fails time and time again (one can't deny their nature).

I, for one, will not be sheepled by some Limbaugh lackey!

To be fair, Joe Biden is largely responsible for destroying hundreds of thousands of black American lives with his crime bill and three strikes and crack vs. powder cocaine which his kid had his dope arrest annuled, and also Joe Biden is largely responsible for murdering 500,000 at the very least innocent non-American human beings via Iraq War of Choice. He also was along with Barack Obama as they willfully orchestrated the largest loss of black wealth in US history. Millions of black people evicted.

But to be fair, also millions of bankers wh--oh sorry, Obama and Holder didn't prosecute any of them. And presumably those wealthy robber barons where also not among the struggling black folks trying to hang on to their homes.

What's disgraceful is that disgusting war criminals and enemies of the people such as Biden, Bush, Mnuchin, Harris, Clintons, McCain Trump, and Obama can run for office at all. In any alternate Universe where justice takes place each of them would be executed. [well, or jailed for life. I'm personally in favor of the death penalty]

Keep on eating whatever plate of shit your masters give to you, Velicenda. Keep complaining that that flavor of shit wasn't quite right so you'll vote for the other chef.

And etc to all of you self-obsessed American Supremacists.

Do you have any sense of the % of humans who are United States citizens, as compared to all other humans? It's about 5%.

And yet dozens of countries and 95% of other humans have to suffer by the MILLIONS BY DEATH AND RAPE AND SLAVERY due to your country. And it'll happen no matter which war criminal pig-- Trump or Biden -- is elected.

Just admit this. For once in your life. Admit that 95% of humans on Planet Earth are worth less to you than Americans when you vote for either of the disgusting war criminals.

And yes, in most places there was an alternate choice, Howie Hawkins, Green Party. Non-Genocide Party.

You keep voting for the rapists and killers of Yemen and Libya though. Hopefully some comeuppance will happen at some point.

Are there any non-American successful war criminalizing leaders you'd like ours to emulate?

...and why you only go back to Bush. American has always been an oppressive country.

It's easy to say you'd vote for a guy that has never committed ANY humanitarian atrocities when that guy has NO national leadership experience and NO chance of winning the election in question.

You make naive comments - like you're clueless about humanity and it's history. But you're not. So stop it.
