    The other surrounding countries do have less deaths so far. It’ll be interesting how things shake up.

    Charlatan is a perfect descriptor.
    My Alabama grandmother was a perfect sucker for these kinds of phony church tv evangelists. Now, my aunt, with an IQ below 70 and a disposition makes me love her dearly, is a sucker for all these phony tv evangelists. We give her a tiny bit of money so she can enjoy giving it to these charlatans. Yep, I love her that much.

    Thanks for that.

    So the claim is that not having a lockdown is idiotic and causing massive more deaths.

    I look just south and west on the map and there is Belgium, slightly smaller. Been in lockdown and extending the lockdown. They are in worse shape than Sweden.

    So by this logic the lockdown doesn't work either, no?


    Just saying some are so quick to throw extreme, hateful statements out there supporting their agenda, when there are factual arguments to be made on both sides.

    I know you didn't make these comments, you were just kind enough to offer up the facts. :)

    Id love one day to come here and go one session of reading up and not have to read all of these over the top statements... It really is a sign of where we are when we just blast off extreme statements based off hate, when there is evidence that can counter the topic that founded the hate speech to begin with......

    Where is our reason? Where is our logic? Where is our patience to want to know all the facts before closing the door with a judgement?

    This is what scares me. Not covid. Its people.....

    And I beleive people are just following what the media does and has been doing for soooo long.....

    What scientific knowledge has actually been gleaned from those conferences?

    What hope or unity has come from those conferences?

    What actual verifible, not-lying facts have been uttered?

    I just want a president who cares about people, not money. Those conferences tell me the exact opposite.

    Have you noticed he's never once acknowledged or given thoughts and prayers to one single person during these conferences. They are all statistics for him, not people.

    I'm sorry, But when a President comes to address the nation, I don't need him having a national prayer for those who lost their lives. Where then do we draw the line? Thousands of lives are lost every day to non corona. Are they valued less? Why dont we stop and break and pray for them too? By this logic, he should be doing nothing but having prayer meeting press conferences....

    I want the President to provide facts and information and let Americans grieve how they prefer to grieve.

    Wrong. Would you like to see the multiple videos of him sending his thoughts and prayers to the victims, his praise to the front line workers or praise to his team for their tireless efforts?

    don’t go barking something we all know you don’t watch. It’s pretty obvious you have your opinions without even spending one second watching objectively on the issue. I’ve posted links to the last 3 pandemic briefings. Have you watched them?

    Because it wouldn’t matter to you or whomever is a never trumper. If he did it Jan 30th, it would be too early, if he does it later, it would be too late. If his team found a cure, it wouldn’t be fast enough. If his team doesn’t find a cure, you would say it’s because of his incompetence. :dunno:

    as far as trump goes, one briefing is just like the other. Keeps saying basically the same thing and seldom ever gives any useful day=ta going forward. Watch Coumo and how he talks to the people. A stark contrast to trump as Coumo talks to the people where as trump talks over the people. His only interest is promoting himself.

    Those sound like excuses.

    and we're getting worthless information for the most part. Even some of the networks have been breaking off from them as it's speak, rinse, repeat.

    I watched and it does almost look like soup lines from those black and white photos.

    My question, as an independent voter (yeah, I'm a white male, sorry to people that offends) is who is Jimmy Dore and why should I care about his opinion? I guess I could look up his wikipedia, but is that worth my time?

    Everyone does. Opinions, biases, and assholes. Everyone has them and they all stink.

    I keep saying it because it's true. I learn more from Coumo than I do from pep rally trump.

    Um, because they have thousands of people locked down in tight quarters? Like one family under one roof? Like a cruise ship? And they are all in right quarters and this shows how easy it spreads so maybe we should not be around other people?

    He's a total socialist/ progressive. He and I couldn't think much differently. He has very good guests and is just a jagoff nightclub comedian.

    He hates Trump more than the people here do.

    Hell, half the time he can barely read the articles and tweets he does without fucking up the words. He doesn't pretend to be a genius.

    He is entertaining and has real guests.


    If CNN attacks you and you are a leftist that tells me you are being too honest. Probably because he will tell you that the retired generals that go on the MSM are actually on defense contractor payrolls. Something CNN and Fox won't.
