    If we had adopted the policies of Taiwan, Japan or South Korea we wouldn't be having nearly the problems that we are now having. Why hell, Vietnam is doing quite a bit better than us.

    I do not think we had the infrastructure for contact tracing that these countries had - so there is no way we would be able to mimic them without a lot of infrastructure work on these issues - another item that the Trump administration did not invest in. I am certain you will see a lot of investment in it once we have a competent administration, it is a shame that it will be almost a year after it should have been.

    See? You're too far gone into the cult. Trump was right when he said he could shoot someone in the face and people like you would still support him. He said what he said on tape about playing it down and I'M making shit up....

    See? You can't be reasoned with. You have no reason.

    Seemed like an apt description to me;




    Definition of fascism


    Definition of fascism
    1: often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

    2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

    You are incorrect in all 3 of your ridiculous claims.

    3 strikes and you're out!

    "Under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S. Code § 264), the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services is authorized to take measures to prevent the entry and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States and between states."

    This really isn't difficult...

    You are incorrect.
    When I was a boy of about 8 or 9 I got the measles. Our doctor made a house call because I was delirious. He pulled out a red tag and placed it on the front door. It was now illegal for anyone to leave the house until the measles could no longer be detected. That was in your home town, by the way. Perhaps you heard of Doctor O'Sheay.

    Something very ironic about people in one of the country’s strongest liberal enclaves claiming there are Nazis everywhere. I had no idea Portland was such a Nazi holdout.

    Or....do we just call everyone we disagree with Nazis now to justify our tantrums?

    I think we all know the answer.

    It’s also fun that all the memes you guys post are ones of liberals crying with the context changed. It’s somewhat telling.

    Tantrums are a specialty of the Trump cult.

    I'm sorry but the tears are coming from the Trump cult and their LOSER idol.
