***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[Belgium]

I could see him ranting about the CDC contradicting his lies about the virus.
A lot of Trump's lies don't really have a very serious impact but the last thing anyone should be repeatedly lying about is a potential pandemic.

To some extent his lying about the virus and the incompetence of his DHS lackeys hurts my personal finances.

 

[stuntman mike]

he might lose some of the lunatic votes if he doesn’t paint a deathly grim picture of the potential for virus spread. some of the trump supporters i know are ready to go full doomsday prep.

 

[noskey]

What are the odds he announces the borders will be closed to all non-citizens? I'd put $5 on that.

 

[fargin]

Anyone taking a $10 bet on him asking, if nukes can stop the virus?

 

[mplsdunk]

maybe he’ll nuke China to be winner of the trade war and defeat corona and the libs?

 

[osh kosh bosh]

More evidence that no matter his stance on impeachment, Justin Amash is still trash.

Eh ol boy just been snorting too many crushed up pages of atlas shrugged,



he just sincerely adheres to an ideology for 14 year old boys.

I actually believe, he believes, it has nothing to do with race.

Like 45% of any Libertarian's day is spent coming up with convoluted excuses as to why something that is clearly racist, is not really racist.

I try to avoid Trump’s briefings. He looks sick.

"Johns Hopkins, I guess...uhhh, highly respected, great place."
-Donald Trump as he holds up google image printouts

Man looks/sounds like a 6th grader who crammed the night before a presentation.

Johns Hopkins is only a top 3 hospital in the country year after year

 

[mister friendly]

Trump had a good press conference.

 

[yobyellav]

Talking about the one that just ended?

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

It's gonna be sad when Biden wins on Saturday just to get washed off the map on Tuesday...

 

[Christian Pulisic]

Trump had a good press conference.

LOL

 

[RustyShackleford]

At this point I am low key rooting for him to have a much stronger showing than Bloomberg. This should be ole boy's mission from now on, screw over Bloomberg like Bloomberg screwed him over.

 

[biggie62]

So trump put Pence as Czar of the cornoavirus?

So we are preventing and treating it with thoughts and prayers I see.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Mr. Pray the HIV Away is really in charge of stopping the pandemic.

Socialist Jesus, if you are listening, HALP!

[Brownstone]

So what is capable of bringing peace and justice if not policy ratified via the state, that is, in the halls of societal and geopolitical power?

Are peace and justice simply impossible in your eyes or is there some other mechanism through which they might be achieved?

Listen, there is grey area. Palestine was unlawfully occupied and expanded by Israel with the backing of Western influences. It is also true that all rational peace talks have been thrown out by Palestine. When you lose a war (which Palestine did) there are consequences.

I feel Palestine is not entirely genuine in wanting Israel to exist at all.

[whywesteppin]

Trump talks about medicine the way Bloomberg talks about the Middle East.

Details reflect understanding or lack thereof.

 

[swendro]

That's textbook answering a question you haven't a clue how to answer.

 

[Wargames]

**** we’re all gonna catch this thing aren’t we....

 

[rexanglorum]

I feel bad for thinking about how the left can capitalize on the coronavirus and then I realize that unless we have socialism before 2030, we will have years of ever worsening climate crisis where politics will be nothing but a question of how a faction can exploit a calamity.
