US Politics The 2020 Trump Presidency Thread

Well. That's it from me for a few hours too I'm afraid (if that's of any impact to anyone).

Save for one forum member here that's done nothing more than try and get a rise out of the rest of us (and which, to my own surprise, I've managed to avoid falling for and stop myself from losing my shit and thus avoided a stern warning): it's been great, polite, informative, and enlightening. And I thank you all for that. Yes. You fucking Democrats too! <3

Not giving up. Just need to go buy some butter from the shops is all. MAGA!

“Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus,..This is their new hoax"

"We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It's going to be just fine."

"We think we have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five — and those people are all recuperating successfully."

"We're very much involved. We're very — very cognizant of everything going on. We have it very much under control in this country,"

"You may ask about the coronavirus, which is very well under control in our country. We have very few people with it, and the people that have it are - in all cases, I have not heard anything other,"

"It's going to disappear. One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear,"

"Yeah, I think where these people are flying, it's safe to fly. And large portions of the world are very safe to fly. "

"So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!"

"it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away,"

That's a perfectly valid political strategy by the way (sorry: couldn't resist)! (Doesn't apply to anything that @birdup.snaildown has posted though just to be clear).

It's right up there with "deny, deny, deny"!

Tried, tested, and efficacy verified by every politician that's ever walked the face of the earth!

That's funny. But why weren't they fucked before?

I see now why you love Trump so much. You think if you lie enough the lie will become true.

You have failed to respond to over half a dozen responses to your inane arguments. You're claiming victory for something you have clearly lost. In that sense, I'm surprised you don't like him.

Why do I think death rate is an indication of how well a virus is contained? You've got to be fucking kidding me. It's not worth responding to, yet I have done you the courtesy of responding anyway and you don't bother to counter my counter arguments because you can't.

I don't understand what is funny about death caused by negligence.

Blood is on his hands. Don't laugh yourself sick.

I assume you're joking. Either that or you don't understand what you're responding to. Pretty sure it's the former. You're a funny guy. We had a funny guy with us in Korea. A tailgunner. They blew his brains out all over the Pacific.

Again, not clear if you're joking. Just in case you're being serious, my comment was a joke. It was supposed to be a Seinfeld quote but I mixed it up with John Goodman's character from The Big Lebowski. No offense intended.

Thanks for fucking up my morning. I started this post out lightheartedly something along the lines of that I like ( 😜 ) Kayleigh and I'm almost tempted to see if my Twitter account is still valid. But she's missing bits. I never knew that. So she isn't the second best looking American woman on the planet then. Pity. She does have spunk though I'll give her that.

Back to reality...

For the sake of my own interest: which picture is which? The first picture on her feed is a split screen (Fox News). But if you scroll down there's another (complete) picture of the exact same venue. Both, however, were Tweeted on the same day by her. So which is which? Each picture tells a very different story.

This comment on her feed stands out though (by Mark Levin of WABC) (anybody here love and miss and remember Don Imus?):

"Funny how these vaccine announcements are made by these companies just days after the election."

The conspiracy theorist in me cannot help but wonder if there's a money trail linking Biden et al to these big pharma. companies? Or maybe (wouldn't this be funny): it's a Republican trump card (no pun intended) i.e. insurance so as to influence the Electoral College just in case things went pear shaped!

I'm not sure if it's that particular shot but it's the one that Trump supporters have been circulating all over facebook.

Elaine's father! From the Seinfeld episode called "The Jacket". So yes: it was a joke but which was in no means directed at America or COVID related deaths but rather at "the funny guy" on this thread. Thought this warranted clearing up i.e. it's all too obvious how things get easily misconstrued on this thread!

Do they accept Americans in NZ?

I'm surprised this slipped under the radar and wasn't answered.

I know for a fact they accept South Africans so I'm sure they'd be more than accepting of Americans.

However (and it's a BIG however):

Only if you're not already a border jumper, can prove that you have a certain amount of money in the bank and are thus able to support yourself for a time, have certain skills that will ensure you will find employment (or preferably already have a job to go to), a business or business plan that you are able to finance yourself, healthy, age a factor, no criminal records of any kind, probably a few I've left out. Basically: as long you're not going to end up being a burden to the society and are actually going to be a benefit to the society. Certainly not just anybody and everybody just because it's (supposedly and apparently) the right and popular thing to do. See where I'm going with this? I'm sure you do. And that's a Liberal government. There's liberal and then there's FUCKED UP LIBERAL. And if you're FUCKED UP LIBERAL well then you need a Republican in power aka a Donald J. Trump in power to balance the scales somewhat. Also helps if the person in power can remember their own name, names of their family members, what planet they're living on, and in what era.

The answer is no.

Fair enough. Never thought about it like that. For what it's worth: I personally know a young family who have JUST (as in about two months ago maximum) been accepted having complied with all requirements and standards (hence my knowing roughly what's required). Then again: they've also been accepted by Canada so they have choices to make. Didn't think to ask about the timing though (in reference to the pandemic) and it wasn't mentioned when we spoke either. Would assume (maybe?) they'd have to be tested and quarantined upon arrival? Good question. I shall call and find out for the sake of interest.

Thanks. Be interesting to find out (really just for the sake of interest). I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I studied those pics. for over a half hour this morning comparing them to each other. I note flags flying in the full (second) picture but none in the first (Fox) pictures.

But Kayleigh made a promise that she'd never lie so she'd never knowingly re-post pictures that were deceiving.
