    Quote from one of my favorite young players in the NBA, a true talent, Donovan Mitchell. It's pretty scary.

    Mitchell: “I’m asymptomatic. I could walk down the street. If it wasn’t public knowledge that I was sick, you wouldn’t know it. That’s the scariest part about this virus. You may seem fine, be fine,” Mitchell said.

      Trump mocking a disabled reporter over his disability was a hoax.



      The gestures Trump made allegedly mocking the reporter's, Serge Kovaleski's, disability were generic gestures Trump has a long history of using. They were in no way specific gestures targeted at Serge Kovaleski's disability, as the media claimed. The media knew that. The media didn't care. They media has a single goal: manipulating the gullible in order to use their votes to keep leftist politicians in power.

      As for Trump believing the coronavirus was a hoax: how do you explain his early action to limit spread from China? You can't. No leftist can, so they ignore it, and continue mindlessly repeating the talking point without pesky facts or common sense getting in their way.

      For those of you who are actually interested in truths: the coronavirus hoax Mr. Trump was referring to is the democrats (including the overwhelming majority of the media) unreasonably using the virus as a tool to attack his administration, and to further divide America at a time it needs unity.

      They are, of course.

      Never mind that America has objectively handled the outbreak better than Europe, hence the wide disparity in infections and deaths. Never mind that a pandemic is well beyond a president's control over the economy. Those facts don't matter. All that matters to the media is they have an opportunity to use this pandemic to get orange man bad out of office, and they're going to exploit it. And the gullible are going right along with it, just like they went right along with the Russia hoax for over two years, and countless other orange man bad hoaxes. How embarrassing for them.

        You don’t know what socialism is if you think those countries are socialist (the ones affected the most).

          But you blame Trump for the virus yet those countries are actually struggling more than the US at the moment. I've never in my life wanted to vote for him more than now.

If countries like Germany actually had to protect itself for the last 70 years they may well not have so much vacation and healthcare because they'd be under communist rule eating rice and beans every day. Also, the standard of living in the US is very high. I just looked at a new custom brick house with over 5000 SQ FT. yesterday. I can easily afford it. You can make a LOT of money in the US and pay for the best healthcare in the world. You just need to work. We do work harder than Europe.
            The quality of the society is how that society treats the least among us...prisoners, homeless, illegal immigrants ....ask yourself how are the US treating black ppl, prisoners and illegal immigrants ...and next time you see homeless person offer some coffee instead of asking him to find a job....In Europe Police are nice and Not Racist....we do not discriminate becouse of race or nationality....WE DO NOT PUT PPL in PRISON FOR MINER OFFENCES...we do not live in trailer parks (unless we are camping)...WE HAVE FREE HEALTHCARE...Europeans are nice...we care about our planet...We despise Trump or his clansmen.

              I actually thought the failed impeachment attempt was the worst thing to ever happen in politics. Now we have a deadly once in a century threat that the left wants to play politics with. All while people are dying and we could possibly see hundreds of thousands of deaths. I have family that work in the healthcare industry and I am personally offended by people lying (and they know this virus isn't Trump's fault).

                Joe Biden will save us from coronavirus just as soon as someone saves Joe Biden from Alzheimer's.



                The man's brain has been reduced to a bowl of oatmeal, yet he was the best the democrats had to offer. Is it sad? Sure, but it's also kind of funny.

There really are people out there who think it's no big deal. I pay attention to what I believe the experts are saying. RIght now, we are locked down at our house and the only reason we leave is to get consumables. That can continue afaic as long as it has to continue.

                  BTW, it's not any particular segment of society that seems to discount it. I find highly intelligent people who have a strong libertarian bent...and one doesn't believe it's a real problem. It's not IQ driving that. It's in some cases just innate total stubborness.
                  Actually:


                  Pollsters are seeing something with the coronavirus crisis that they’ve not seen previously in national emergencies: A steep partisan divide in people’s concern over its seriousness. The numbers in a new NBC News-Wall Street Journal survey released on Sunday morning are stark.

                  Democrats are twice more likely (61 percent) than Republicans (30 percent) to say they plan to stop attending large gatherings like the crowded food hall visited by Oklahoma’s Stitt and his kids. There’s a similar Democrat-Republican divide over canceling travel plans ( 47-23 percent), a belief that daily life will change (56-26 percent), and worries that they or a family member might contract coronavirus (68-40 percent).

                      He was dressed and ready to play the night of that Jazz-Thunder game, right? That means he presumably felt good enough to play an NBA game even though he had it. Scary indeed.

                        Yep. This will be the end of the democrat party. Their gleeful cheers over economic collapse (i.e., the economy falling back to where Obama left it) will be the straw that finally breaks the camel's back. The #WalkAway and #Blexit movements are going to grow by millions over the next six months. If that wasn't enough, this pandemic is going to lead to higher support for border control, which means far fewer illegal votes for the democrats. Every remotely purple state in America is going red.

                          You don't have free healthcare. Someone had to pay for it and it was NOT free to them. The fact is, through military protection I am paying for YOUR healthcare.

                          As for the other issues you raise, people find themselves in a mess because of their own choices more often than not. I can say that because I've seen family do it. We do have medicaid for the poor so they get "free" healthcare.

                          As for prisoners, they earned the responsibility to be imprisoned. They had their due process. I do not shed a tear for people who decided to invade someone's home, rape someone's daughter or car jack and kill someone. And I also don't shed a tear for "minor offenders" who find their way to prison. They are a big part of the problem of criminality in this country. Just obey the law. It is not hard to avoid possession of cocaine. Really. People have been warned.

There will be some people on the left who go nuts over it because it's to their political benefit. They want a million people to die so Trump doesn't win. That's what we are dealing with.

                                That is funny Mr. Mass. Fact is, I would vote for a Democrat over Trump if they would nominate one that wasn't a communist and didn't have dementia and didn't want to take my bank account and empty it.
