Thank you for your scientific explanation CW - so much for social distancing, blah, blah, blah. You just love to twist the narrative and the facts to approve of "peaceful protests", rioting and looting! No problem - it's safe!

But CV is sure to skyrocket once the Trump rallies begin.

Good to see this. Will be great for America. https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/coronavirus-speeds-up-china-supply-chain-exodus Seventy-six percent of finance chiefs whose companies have manufacturing in China indicated in a survey by Swiss lender UBS that the pandemic has reinforced their company’s goal of moving at least some of that production elsewhere. Thirty-four percent of the more than 450 executives surveyed represent companies with manufacturing in China. U.S.-based firms weren’t the only ones looking to move: 85 percent of North Asian firms and 60 percent of Chinese manufacturers also said they were planning to move at least some production from the mainland, where COVID-19 was first identified late last year. Of the firms surveyed, 92 percent of healthcare companies and 89 percent of consumer staple firms have already moved capacity out of China or are planning to do so. Technology (80 percent) and consumer discretionary (76 percent) producers were also more likely to leave than industrials (69 percent) and materials (57 percent) manufacturers.

Yeah, that is EXACTLY right. This flag was a symbol of Southern pride - EXACTLY. Nothing more. They lost the war, were severely punished both economically and morally. What more did you need? An unintended consequence was the whole racist thing. You want to ban it - go ahead, but the South was still proud of being the South. Just like Texans just love the Lone Star Flag as they were a separate country at one time.

Dude - you hit the nail on the head! +1

Greg, I don't need a thesaurus to know you are a racist. But just so are fully aware of how racist this word is: "'This word is our N-word': Indigenous teacher asks Urban Planet to drop racial slur" https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/offensive-term-remove-urban-planet-1.5305540 Wow - now Greg is a racist. This after he is an anti-Semite. Nicely done KC. Unfortunately Greg - you are feeling the Bitter Hostility of the LEFT. When they tire of debate - they resort to call their opponents racist, homophobe, or religious bigot to shut you up and discredit you. Don't let it bother you. It's the standard tactic of the LEFT.

Brilliant ! Yes, of course! It's another "conspiracy", another "collusion" event! Just like the Russia Hoax, the Ukrainian Scandal, You nailed it this time once again. Get Robert Mueller on it, so you can impeach the Tyrant. I hear Michael Avenatti may be released from prison due to the CoronaVirus - Just in time for him to run against Trump. That's you man. You never give up with your BS.

Mainly, it was the way you were so brutal on Orthopa and some others that tried to support the contrarian case with real arguments. And your support of NYC mayor/administration and idiot Governor Cuomo was priceless!

What a moron Andrew Cuomo is - and I thought his brother was a loser... https://amgreatness.com/2020/06/15/250-inmates-freed-in-new-york-rearrested-450-times/ New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s (D-N.Y.) plan to free thousands of inmates due to the coronavirus pandemic has proven to be a complete disaster, with many of the criminals promptly being rearrested. It has been reported that out of the 2,500 inmates released from the federal prison at Rikers Island, 250 had been rearrested a collective total of 450 times for repeat offenses since they were first released. The information came from the NYPD’s Michael LiPetri, Chief of Crime Control Strategies. The policy has been widely condemned for presenting a clear danger to public safety, as many of the released criminals are violent offenders, including murderers and rapists.

I just love this President: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/trump-announces-u-s-terminating-relationship-with-world-health-organization/ Trump Announces U.S. ‘Terminating’ Relationship with World Health Organization

Actually, it's more hilarious than anything. To watch this party destroy itself - they don't need our help - just watch the Primary debates to see what a joke the party has become. The MVP for Trump's re-election campaign is the LEFT!

Good point. And to think, they were the ones originally locking the kids up during the Obama administration, until they got caught!

I hope you really do not believe what you are writing. You are far too thoughtful and intelligent person for that. I am sure they are nut jobs on both left and the right, but the vast majority of the people of either party just want to do what is best for economy. They are just coming from different angles and I can see the logic in both. For these vast majority if you give them an option of getting rid of the virus and economy getting back to normal on the condition that the party they oppose would win the elections for President, Congress and Senate, they would take that option in a heartbeat. I was in the camp of leaning to vote for Trump (60/40) by end of January. Because on the whole, despite so many negative things, he did get one major critical priority right: confronting China, trying to get back some of the manufacturing back to US, etc. To me his actions since start of March are absolutely unacceptable. I can see both views of keeping an economy open and shutting down. And neither is a simple obvious choice. Pros and cons to both. But once you make a decision, you should proceed forward with that. Look at what Trump has done. He is both for and against lockdowns. What kind of message does that send to people? Fed should have been the primary entity in trying to get PPE and other medical equipment and then distributing to the states. It makes so much sense. We should have had a massive program like the Apollo mission to try to produce PPE in massive quantities once he declared an emergency on March 13. Say being able to deliver a bunch of masks for every family every week. Sanitizing stations every street corner, testing at a massive scale, etc. He defanged CDC and drug approvals at FDA are politicized. It is not that Trump is evil, he is just plain incompetent for this situation. Almost any past President of either party would have done so much better. Just look at Amazon. Read the annual letter if you have not. That is how competent people with power would behave. There are lots of things which are shades of grey and it is difficult to say right or wrong except in hindsight. This is not the case with Trump's actions during the Covid period. They are simply idiotic. People who cannot see that are being blinded by hate towards the other party. It is precisely what you are complaining about with TDS. Vinod Boy, oh, boy - if you believe that bullshit - you must really hate Cuomo and DeBlasio - considering they are responsible for so many deaths with their catastrophic decisions to jam the elderly sick into nursing homes.... And of course, idiot Joe Biden, Pelosi, Schumer wanted nothing to do with travel bans..... let's just let 'em in from China and Europe.

You actually think us Americans were mistreated? Was not sitting in restaurants and going to large gatherings too much to bear? The entitlement I've seen from my American brethren is shocking. Not willing to give up the smallest inconveniences to prevent mass death. More deaths in 2 months than the entire Vietnam War (and closing in on WWI) but wasn't allowed to sit at an AMC and eat popcorn. My belief in my fellow Americans has been severely damaged in this order. This is not the country that put a man on the moon anymore. I am asking to follow the system that got least deaths. Japan had 6 per million deaths, while US had 287 and UK 526 (worldometer) There are two new antibody study results announced Bronx had 40% Covid exposure Stockholm had 7% exposure Because you accused me of being irresponsible, can you remind which place had lockdown and which didn't? Shelter in place mandates are very expensive lifewise (I am not talking money) https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-children-un-idUSKBN21Y2X7 U.N. warns economic downturn could kill hundreds of thousands of children in 2020 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coronavirus-deaths-suicides-drugs-alcohol-pandemic-75000/ Coronavirus pandemic may lead to 75,000 "deaths of despair" from suicide, drug and alcohol abuse, study says I believe above suicide estimate is only for US. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/a-years-worth-of-suicide-attempts-in-the-last-four-weeks-california-doctor-calls-for-end-to-lockdown/ The doctor in charge of a Bay Area, Calif. trauma center said the state should end its lockdown orders after an “unprecedented” spike in suicide attempts amid the coronavirus pandemic. “We’ve never seen numbers like this, in such a short period of time,” Dr. Mike deBoisblanc, head of trauma at John Muir Medical Center, told local station ABC7. “I mean, we’ve seen a year’s worth of suicide attempts in the last four weeks.” He added that he thinks “it’s time” to end the state shutdown.

You're such a cliché. I don't think everything is Trump's fault. Just the things that are, and I point out what they are and why. If you ever have an actual argument to make to support any of your positions, go for it. It would be a nice change for you from the classic gambits of "I'll act like I won the argument so others may think I did" and strawmen arguments ("you think everything's Trump's fault".. what does that even mean? I also think that a lot of things are Putin's fault (or Harvey Weinstein's fault), because he did them, but I don't think everything is Putin's (or Weinstein's) fault, but it also doesn't mean I should think nothing is his fault..? What a silly line of thought to do down on..). As for having opinions about people, it's life. We all do it every day. I don't know where it got started that people shouldn't have opinions about the mental states of others. I guess because psychiatrists have a professional code that they can't diagnose people they haven't met, which others have turned into something quite different, which is that nobody else can have an opinion about someone else's mental health. That's interesting in itself, because plenty of mental health professional have come out to say that they think Trump is sick -- they think it's so bad that they had to override their usual restraint in such matters to warn the public. You can't have a solid opinion from just meeting someone, but when you observe someone over years and years and hundreds and hundreds of hours of talks and interviews and reports from those around them about their behavior, the picture becomes a lot clearer. I mean, when I look at Tom Cruise being interviewed by Oprah that time, I think there's a high chance he was heavily depressed. It's just pattern matching and looking at the facts. When I look at Trump, I see all the signs of a sociopath with narcissistic personality disorder. Those signs are codified, they lead the observable behaviors. They mean something. For borderline and subtle cases, it can be hard to know, you have a high degree of uncertainty, it's a probabilistic judgement call. But with Trump, it's clear as day. I'd be way more surprised if he wasn't these things, that would raise a lot more questions, because he's certainly not behaving in a neurotypical way. Geez Liberty - blah, blah, blah, blah, blah - you really think you are something! Tell me more about Tom Cruise and Oprah - I can't wait genius!

Listen to you! The pot calling the kettle black!

You just can't make up your mind, can you now Liberty - one day Trump is a dictator, one day he is powerless - keep the stupidity coming bro... That's you attempting being clever, right? I think it'd play really well on the primary school yard. The man clearly has authoritarian tendencies (I never said dictator, but clearly he wishes he was), and he's making a lot of stupid and incompetent decisions. At the same time, he plays the victim and keeps blaming everybody else as if he was powerless and not actually president of the US. It's Obama's fault, it's China's fault, it's the governor's fault, it's the WHO's fault, it's the democrats' fault, it's the CDC's fault, the media's fault, nobody could've done anything (while clearly others have), etc. There, both things can be true at the same time. I know it's a complex thought for you, but I'm sure others get it. Sure, Liberty, sure - I know, I know - it's TRUMP'S fault - that's your answer to everything - we ALL appreciate your armchair psychoanalysis. Now back to your meltdown.

You just can't make up your mind, can you now Liberty - one day Trump is a dictator, one day he is powerless - keep the stupidity coming bro...

This is just trolling. You never say anything concrete, contradict any evidence with other evidence. You just assert things and hope nobody notices the tumbleweeds blowing throw the gaps in your logic. You basically are Beavis and/or Butthead. This impeached president will go down in history as one of the worst presidents ever. He lacks intelligence, character, skill, empathy, or even an understanding of what the US is and what makes it great, clearly. He's an anti-capitalist who's constantly trying to have the government play a bigger role in the market by picking winners and losers, trying to help certain industries and hurt others and increasing deficits and spending. He only cares about himself, and his biggest accomplishment is convincing others that the heir to hundreds of millions (a lot of it from tax fraud) who sits on a kitsch golden throne and never has shown any inclination towards regular people in his 7 decades on Earth (even his charity was a ridiculous fraud, spending on portraits of himself) is a "man of the people who loves America". His only other accomplishments are things that any republican president with control of both houses would have done (tax cuts, some regulation cuts), and almost everything else that is truly his is a failure or stupid in the first place, just like in his personal life and business life. A rapist with two dozen accusers, who has tabloid friends 'catch & kill' stories and pays hush money to a porn star because he's cheating on his third wife, trying to enact racist policies while hiding his tax returns and business interests and massive conflict of interests and debts to who know what foreign entities, as all his entourage is either in prison or fired for incompetence (often blamed for things he did), as he fires inspector generals who start digging into his dirt and puts his son-in-law in charge of everything... is now the cause of America having one of the worst responses to a pandemic around the world despite being the richest country with the most resources and months of advance-warning compared to Asia. Great success. I can't imagine how it'd be if he had been a failure in your eyes.. Thanks for more of your bloviating bullshit Liberty - keep going from one hoax to the next - just makes you look stupid.

More than 70,000 of them, sadly. :-\ Thank your savior Andrew Cuomo and DeBlasio for most of them in the US! Oh, yeah - and don't forget, the spectacular job done by WHO...

Guys - try not to have a meltdown over the President's successes.

Good luck winning an argument with these loonies. They could care less about "collateral damage" if it doesn't show up in their models that have been so, so wrong.

Are you sore that he spoke out against racists? It never bothered me. Trump is WAY WAY WAY more playing identity politics than Obama ever did, but somehow it doesn't seem to bother these guys. I wonder why? Of course, that is total bullshit. The whole Democratic Playbook and Agenda is identity politics. It's about victimization. Everybody is a victim that needs their group to be compensated or righted. Government is the only way to right those historical wrongs. Government will fix everything for these groups that have been disadvantage. The Democrats do NOT believe in meritocracy - they believe in racial quotas and affirmative action based on sex. Everyone becomes a "protected" class or group. Obama took that bullshit to a whole new level. Who's pushing slave reparations and nonsense like that? The Democratic playbook does not allow for hiring the "best" people or most qualified, but hiring based on "quotas" and total nonsense. Look at the corner these idiots painted themselves into with their own Presidential Primaries. They are left with 2 old white guys - Biden and Sanders. And they have a shit fit since their is no minority group or female representing them - now they are trying to jam a black female (Stacy Abrams) or Kamala Harris into the campaign since they look like idiots. Identity Politics drives ALL THEIR DECISIONS. Now they get to live with the consequences. It worked GREAT for Obama - but is a DISASTER for the future of PARTY. These guys never learn!

Florida Governor goes out of his way to keep sick CV elderly OUT OF NURSING HOMES, while idiot Governor Cuomo jams the INFECTED ELDERLY INTO NURSING HOMES - causing thousands of deaths.. Yet, the Fake News and Liberals fawn over Cuomo, while they crucify DeSantis. https://www.dailywire.com/news/ny-health-dept-admits-to-undercounting-nursing-home-deaths-as-cuomo-scandal-worsens Democrat-controlled New York has reportedly admitted to knowingly undercounting the number of deaths suffered in nursing homes from the coronavirus after the facilities were devastated by Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo’s policy that forced them to take patients who were infected with the virus. Good to see you guys still fawning over Cuomo!

Yea, tell me about it - the guy who moves from one anti-Trump hoax to the next, never getting it right. You'd rather defeat Trump than the corona virus.
