Re: *Prompter Thread* (NO Personal Attacks, Trolling, breaking 52 USC 30121 OR 2 USC

Can’t wait to vote in person, against Donald Trump yet again. Dudes a f’ing failed business owner turned reality tv star turned epitome of all we fear, both sides.

Can’t wait to spend the rest of my time hearing about how “no one supported that lunatic” and “he was crazy and we just didn’t know it.” We need an intervention.

    Maybe 60M people didn't want to believe it, but the rest of us fucking knew it in 2016.

    It's pretty wild that the dude is trying to sabotage the postal service in an effort to rig the system so that he wins

    "What? They can vote against me? We're gonna have to put a stop to that!"

    People will be brain dead only until the point it stops benefiting themselves. Alot of smart people look the other way with crap like this.

    Also a good time to remember that the federal aid is capped at 13 weeks.
    I understand this is the exception rather than the rule, but there are probably other businesses in similar situations. I basically pay a contractor who then uses sub-contractors, and pay them on a per transaction basis. I know for a fact one of my contractors was granted aid, but I can't speak to how it was distributed. Because they are sub contractors (although the contractor does have a limited w2 staff), not sure if furlough or laid off is applicable.

    Question:

    People realize now in 2020, that Woodrow Wilson was a bottom 10, absolutely terrible person and probably one of the most limiting Presidents of all time.....correct?
    Is that common knowledge yet?

    I sure fucking hope so...

    I fear too many 30-somethings simply associate him with Bart Simpson stealing his name to troll Mrs Crabapple as a lover pen-pal with Gordie Howe's picture. Oh yea...Woodrow right? That guy? He was a big time President I think right? Cool.

    Yeah I remember reading about that back when he chose that as his slogan. Bill Clinton also used a variation of it (making America great again I think) at some point during his campaign.

    It's going to take a long time (well after Trump is gone) to undo the "Dems aren't American" rhetoric this group of ass nuggets has tried to condition the populace to believe.

    I remember as a kid learning about the civil war and wondering how anyone could hate a fellow American enough to kill them. Even well into my teens and early adulthood I thought the notion silly. Now I feel like we are sitting on a tinder box.

    Hope this shithead and his shittier followers was worth the judges y'all got.

    The Democrat Party will obstruct literally anything. They cant even admit that Trump deserves his own bust on Mount Rushmore. Why do they care so much? Shouldn't they concentrate on getting Unemployment benefits for Americans? They wont even let Trump do that.

    Can we really trust them anymore? Can we really trust our neighbors anymore?

    It'll go red and this is a dem internal poll so let's say this is really a 10 point swing instead of a 20 point swing.

    If that's the case.....

    So was all this looting in Chicago a planned "flash mob" type of deal. Bad look. Trump will probably use this footage. And Mayor Lightfoot is going to get hammered.

    For a second I was concerned, thinking this was NE2 (which Biden has shown a consistent advantage in polling). This is pretty shocking, though unlikely to mean anything at all.

    is it typical for an AG to openly talk in such a partisan manner?

    That big scary “liberal media” should hammer them over it....I’ll wait.

    Maybe in between having members of the administration on and never challenging any of their bullshit they will find time to do it.

    Like I said. This is a normal mainstream republican view.

    I think it's science in general. As we explore the far reaches of the galaxy and learn more about our own makeup and that of the world around us it gets harder to push the "man in the sky watching over all we do" story as it's getting more and more easily debunked. I'm sure many Christians see it as a personal attack on their faith. They, like Trump, are victims of viscous people out to do them harm.

    Not to say all Christians are this way. I know many science believing Christians who are good people and not raging !lunatics trying to get their beliefs turned into policy.

    Paul Krugman: Trump's Executive Orders Are The Hydroxychloroquine Of Economic Policy

    “This is something that was thrown together by somebody who has paid no attention to how these things actually work."

    Deferring payroll taxes was such a “known bad idea” that it had already been dismissed by the GOP in the Senate, Krugman explained on CNN Sunday.*

    “Even Senate Republicans basically said, ‘Let’s forget about that. That’s a really stupid idea.’ And then Trump comes out with it,” Krugman said.

    I think I'm seeing it — pushing those boundaries is a threat to their worldview and since it's such a part of their identity, it registers as an attack on them personally

    Science and the scientific process are the cause of so much discord and hate filled backlash. As the faith driven fight harder and more viciously to hang on to their belief system it puts us on the brink big trouble. I honestly don’t see a way out of it until the vast majority of people accept science as a guiding principle. I don’t expect that to happen any time soon. That’s the reason I’ve kinda discarded the notion that there is a way out of our current situation without it first getting much worse.
