We still haven't seen anyone talking about the bloom of cases from the BLM riots. Maybe there is something about being outside or maybe tear gas and the smoke from burning buildings does kill the corona. Maybe wearing masks and being outside both make a big difference. I have read that there were not many indications of mass spreading from the protests. One person said that they had larger spread for a single bar than protests at the same time. The less we breathe each other's exhalations, the better. Outside is better, in a room well ventilated with fresh air is not too bad. Recirculated air is worse and worse still is a closed crowded room. Our second wave is expected to hit as people go indoors more and breathe in each other's exhalations more as northern Winter approaches. The problem is we are still on the first wave. In NY state apparently shopping malls can only open if they have a special air filtering system installed. That struck me as bizarre. These malls have huge air spaces, even stores like Macy's the ceilings are very high, lots of open space compared to the number of people in them. So why there and not businesses, regular stores, supermarkets, apartment buildings, etc? Most of those have more people in less air space. It would be interesting to read about how they came to that decision. I'm sure gfretwell sees $$$ as a major factor - he might not be wrong if he does think that. Anyone who refuses to follow the money will remain lost in the weeds of confusion about why things are the way they are. I think you're spot on. No one knows more about being lost in the weeds of confusion. If you are not following the money you live in fantasy land. They may end up collecting close to $2billion in this election and that is not coming from little people. Big money is buying our government and folks like you are still in denial. We can add that to the list of Trump's broken promises. Hillary collected and spent far more than Trump. (~150%) The democrats have become the party of big bribes, mostly from tort lawyers, lobbyists and the financial sector. Hillary; Direct bribes $563,756,928 Outside money $206,122,160 Trump; Direct bribes $333,127,164 Outside money $165,141,594 Lawyers and lobbyists Hillary $117,318,552, Trump $37,873,136 Finance Hillary $43,827,411 Trump $1,956,191 Unions Hillary $29,026,280 Trump $17,754 Healthcare conglomerates Hillary $32,611,535 Trump $4,868,535 You know, they write this **** down. |

Why should the democrats run someone who says **** dumber than Trump comes up with? You'd have to ask the Democrats that. I agree you'd think there would have been other candidates that would have been better. You should ask the Republicans the same thing, how did they wind up with Trump? Both parties have been failing in their primary process. I agree when Biden reads off the prompter he sounds like a tired old politician but as soon as he gets off script he becomes a senile old grandpa who might say anything. He came up with this gem the other day. €œGood afternoon, everyone. As Lilly already indicated, Im Joe Bidens husband, Joe Biden.€ No question Biden fumbles up words and sentences frequently like that. IDK that you can conclude it's senility though. He had a stroke some years ago, brain surgery too. It's possible he has some residual damage from that and it may have nothing to do with his thinking and decision making problems. If someone stutters for example, it doesn't mean they are not intelligent. And whatever Biden has or doesn't have, there is no evidence that he won't listen, take advice, make sound judgments based on what's before him and be capable of discharging the duties of the office. With Trump we've had three and a half years of seeing him in action and it's been one bad decision, one lie, one insult, one divisive, stupid **** show after another. We have a long list of people who were up close to Trump, people he picked, people he said were the very best and they all tell a similar story and have dire warnings about his fitness and competence. Tillerson summed it up best. I don;t see a long list of people involved with Biden who are saying that about him. Right now Trump is trying to lie and deny his way out of Covid, attacking his own govt, attacking the CDC, instead of having a national plan. We can't endure another 4 years of that, making Biden the correct choice. Also, unlike Trump, I have confidence that if there comes a point where because of medical issues Biden can't discharge the duties, I have confidence he would resign for the good of the country, a concept totally foreign to Trump. Also if you think that Biden example is bad, have you read what Trump said to Telemundo about DACA? An executive order bill? That the SC just gave him new powers to do that? It was worse than anything I ever heard Biden say. I'm pretty sure Biden knows the difference between a bill and an exec order. I'm pretty sure Biden knows when the SC hands him a defeat, not new powers. And Trump does fine when on the teleprompter too, as soon as he speaks freely, that's when the big trouble starts. |

All of that going to the point that just because it is summer does not mean people spend more time outside. With them closing pools, golf courses and beaches, there is not as much reason to go outside so the problem might be worse. |

Now who is the gullible one? I have no problem ignoring him. You seem to hang on his every word. Maybe that's the problem, you choose to ignore it. How did that work out for the German people in the 30s? Or even here in America, when many like you ignored what he was saying and doing and elected him president anyway and we have had nothing but a **** show? I prefer to be an informed voter, it works much better that way. Like you, I prefer to be an informed voter, but maybe there's something to be said for the Muggles/Fretwell approach. Life is easier when you can just sit on the porch swing or the golf cart, fat, dumb, and happy. A truly informed voter couldn't vote for either of those bozos. I know you will hold your nose and vote for bi bi biden but I wouldn't brag about it. I won't be holding my nose. Biden is qualified for the job. Trump is not. Same here. I disagree with Biden and the Democrats on a lot of policy, but it's not about policy anymore. It's about a really bad experiment that's gone terribly wrong. The Trumpets insisted that no other GOP candidate was any good, it had to be Trump. They assured us that he was mentally fit, not only competent, but a great businessman who would bring all the skills of a successful CEO to work for America. Did you see that Trump floated the idea of selling Puerto Rico because it was so damaged by that hurricane? I guess that's the flip side of trying to buy Greenland. No, I didn't. I presume that was back right after the hurricane? Doesn't surprise me though. Did you see how there was little reaction to all that totally screwy BS Trump told to Telemundo that we were talking about? That's how low Trump has taken the office. He spews forth really bizarre, crazy, stupid things and the media and country hardly notice anymore. The WH does cleanup, simply ignoring what Trump actually said and pretending nothing was amiss, claiming Trump didn't say anything different or unusual at all. Everyone has become numb to it. If any other, normal, sane president had done that, there would have been a huge uproar and it would have gone on for days. With Trump, Americans and the world have come to accept him as a crazy, incompetent buffoon that should be mostly ignored. In fact that's what Fretwell told us the other day, that he just ignores him. And Trump ignores Covid and most of his other duties. With what Trump said to Telemundo, I think Pelosi and Schumer blew it too. They should have come out the next morning, ignored the WH cleanup and said that they welcome Trump's new position, welcome that he now wants to give citizenship to DACA. Pelosi should have said that she can guarantee that the House will pass a path to citizenship for DACA bill and Schumer should have said the Democrats in the Senate will support it too. That would put the focus back on Trump and his Telemundo BS and give the rest of the Republicans grief on the issue too. Schiff and Pelosi issued their all-too-common 'this is outrageous' statements and then the whole thing just blew over to make room for what comes next. There's no room to breathe, no time to grieve, in between the **** shows. Instead we got a deranged, evil, orange clown and one **** show after another. He won't listen to anyone, won't learn, won't learn from his mistakes. He can't handle Covid, he's screwed that totally, how about the next screw up is a nuclear war? I don't see much cooperation lately with NK. I wonder how the KJU love affair is going? Satellite photos have recently shown that they're still working on something. I think they are still working on everything. Nothing has stopped, just some testing. The nuclear testing had advanced over many years, the last test was big, so they have working warheads and testing is not as critical now. ICBMs they are continuing to develop, they have just held off testing and I would expect that a new test is coming before long, maybe before the election. Beyond that, the GOP needs to suffer an epic defeat, at all levels, to totally repudiate what they have done. Otherwise, having paid no price for their enabling Trump, they will just keep doing the same stupid things. We tried everything else to bring them to reason, this is the only option left. In decades of voting, prior to Trump, I only voted for a few Democrats and only at the local level. One guy I knew. The others the GOP county level politicians had gotten arrogant, were feeding at the trough and had control. I voted for Democrats to get someone to keep an eye on them, reign them in. This time I will be voting for all Democrats. And I ended my GOP registration a year ago. I'm so glad I did, my conscience is clear as I watch the final **** show. To me, the only thing the current R party has in common with the party from 4 years ago is the name. Who would have thought that a major political party could be turned upside down so quickly. Sadly I agree. It's become nothing but the cult of the evil, orange clown. And as I've said before, I think there is a good chance it's the end. The GOP has been slowly losing voters versus the Democrats for decades now. Part of it is demographic trends. Even where they have picked up voters, among Evangelicals, they are losing. They've pretty much got all the support from them that they can wring out and the percentage of Americans who are Evangelicals has been steadily declining. Trump is driving everyone else away in droves at an accelerating pace. And when he's gone, what happens then? I don't see them returning to their principles and values and coalescing around a reasonable candidate, a Romney, a Kasich, a Larry Hogan, etc. I see the nasty, divisive BS resuming within the party, with the Trumpets insisting they want another Trump type. Maybe Don Jr would make them happy. The wild cards are how far left and crazy the Democrats get and coming crises for America, eg the rapidly escalating national debt, how Covid plays out, etc. Mick Mulvaney said last week that if this election becomes a referendum on Trump, Trump has a big headwind to get re-elected. My first reaction was that any re-election with an incumbent is usually a referendum on them. Second, how can it not be a referendum on Trump? It's always been Trump, Trump, Trump. Trump makes sure of that, so how can it change now? I was watching Meet the Press yesterday. At the end, one of the panelist mentioned Biden. Chuck Todd noted that was only the second time his name has been mentioned during the hour. Another big mistake I think is Trump dismissing Biden as some senile, old man. Trump has set the bar for Biden extremely low. When they have their first debate, Biden doesn't have to do a great job, all he has to do is show that he's not senile and can answer questions. And with all the ammo out there to use against Trump, to get Trump riled up, to get him to go nuts, I'd say it's very possible, even likely that the debate will turn out to be a big surprise for Trump and the Trumpets. The usual circus of insults, lies, and BS may not work anymore, especially with 200K+ Americans dead and the economy sucking wind. Like watching a car accident, during the debates I want to see if Trump walks around behind Joe and yells "Wrong!" when Joe is making a point. I suspect not. He usually lets his more-stupid side come out when he's dealing with a woman. |

Pure nonsense. Anyone that wants can find his recent statements online, and clearly see that he is way more thoughtful and reasonable that just about any repub. So he has good writers working for him. The problem is when he actually speaks for himself off script. Then the weird **** comes out. This isn't about Trump unless you are really on a race to the bottom. Say what? This election isn't about Trump? As usual your TDS made you miss the point. Why should the democrats run someone who says **** dumber than Trump comes up with? I agree when Biden reads off the prompter he sounds like a tired old politician but as soon as he gets off script he becomes a senile old grandpa who might say anything. He came up with this gem the other day. “Good afternoon, everyone. As Lilly already indicated, I’m Joe Biden’s husband, Joe Biden.” Nobody says **** dumber than trump! “just walk out on the balcony here— walk out, put that double barrel shot gun and fire two blasts outside the house.” Sounds pretty dumb to me, like 20 years in prison dumb. From 2013. You went back 7 years to find something stupid. That's lazy on your part. Biden has said dumb things more recently than that, but he can't hold a candle to Trump. Pick a day, any day. How about Trump talking about a DACA exec order bill, where he'll put DACA in, then he'll take it out. WTF? How about Trump, just today, talking about Chuck Woolery, the aging ex-host of The Love Connection? 'Dumb' has a permanent home with Trump. |
