  1. All legal votes matter.
    1000
  2. I can guarantee one thing we'll hear from Biden's running mate: Identity Politics.
    47
  3. "President Harris and I...."--- Biden, yesterday, again. And they flew on the same plane to Atlanta, which I believe is banned.
    34
  4. I could also be dating Charlize Theron this year.
    27
  5. There's been little talk of the race to claim the Arctic beyond the internationally-recognized limits. Five countries, including Denmark and the US, are working with a UN committee on claims based on continental shelves. As it stands, there's a number of areas that multiple countries are claiming. Including the North Pole. The whole discussion has been quite collaborative...so far. But Russia recently placed a flag on the seabed at the North Pole, supposedly as a symbolic gesture. And Canada and the US disagree over a potentially valuable piece of the Arctic. I like Trump's musing on Greenland. And I guarantee you Russia is irritated.
    24
  6. What a joke. Overall hospitalization rates remain less than 2% and the mortality rate continues to drop. And there are 11 countries with a worse mortality rate. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality
    23
  7. So...Biden's handlers are "under pressure" to deliver a diverse Cabinet". They should be under pressure to choose the best people for the job. Period.
    23
  8. Bernie should've retired a LONG time ago. Next dinosaur to go should be Pelosi. The Democrat party would be joyous. It's time for all Democrat leaders to admit full defeat to patriotism, nationalism and a President who's done an excellent job making America great again. 4 more years for Trump.
    19
  9. Thanks for the smile. A perfect analogy.
    17
  10. I related news, the Chinese Government announced that both Bigfoot and Yeti are real. And media bought it.
    16
  11. It's been talked about a few times. The timing of Trump's musing is most likely related to the current race to claim the Arctic beyond internationally-recognized limits. Five countries, including Denmark and the US, are working with a UN committee on claims based on continental shelves. As it stands, there's a number of areas that multiple countries are claiming. Including the North Pole. The whole discussion has been quite collaborative...so far. But Russia recently placed a flag on the seabed at the North Pole, supposedly as a symbolic gesture. And Canada and the US disagree over a potentially valuable piece of the Arctic. I guarantee you Russia is irritated by Trump talking about buying Greenland.

  12. 47 years in politics and still unable to figure things out. smh Biden's handlers and speech writers continue to insult our intelligence.
    14
  13. According to the CDC, between 20,000 and 40,000 have died from the seasonal flu (influenza) this year, including over 100 children. Have some perspective people. Be smart, be safe...but the sky isn't falling.
    13
  14. China's 2017 "National Intelligence Law" requires all companies to "support, co-operate and collaborate on national intelligence work". This means the Chinese government has the authority to demand tech companies like Huawei turn over useful information or provide access to their communications and technologies. No one trusts China. Smart countries will keep Huawei products out.
    12
  15. So...Germany's mortality rate is only .2%. One would think that would be the headline... but that wouldn't fit the sky-is-falling narrative would it?
    12
  16. In related news, Democrats announce a plan to fight gravity and the sun.
    11
  17. I'm waiting for Bloomberg to do a story on Governor Cuomo's handling of the pandemic. How about a story on de Blasio's words and actions. But we know that won't happen.
    11
  18. Trump made the world a safer place and Democrats hate that.
    11
  19. As the country re-opens...Be smart and Be safe. But don't be overly scared. Covid deaths remain less than 1% of all deaths. And for context, realize that another contagious viral infection, pneumonia, has killed over 74,000 since Feb. 1. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm
    11
  20. There will be many reasons Trump and the GOP will win this fall. Right near the top is Pelosi and her lies, incompetence and partisan politics.
    10
  21. That's a great description of Democrat leaders in the past 4 years. They're the party of lies, hate, and political games. The country comes second.
    9
  22. "It's better to stay silent and have people assume you're an idiot than speak and remove all doubt". This old quote should be the Dem's strategy with Biden.
    9
  23. At least we can all be happy the "National Endowment for the Arts" is getting that critical Covid-related $135 million from the Bill. Sarcasm. What a joke. The Democrats are pissing on us and telling us it's raining.
    9
  24. More fear mongering crap. Covid 19 is similar to SARS and simply a form of coronavirus. And remember people...the CDC reported we don't have details on possible underlying health conditions for 94% of deaths attributed to Covid 19, including whether the person was a smoker, obese or also had the flu when they died. Think about that for a sec.
    9
  25. America should build a few artificial islands in international waters in the South China Sea. China is openly defying international law by doing the same so they can't complain. (I'm being facetious. Biden and the Democrat Establishment will be bending over for China).
    9
  26. Mark Ellis...Why are you repeating a lie? Is it just to get "likes"? Serious question. Trump said the Democrats use of the virus for political attacks was a hoax. Read the link...and learn. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-coronavirus-rally-remark/
    8
  27. I assume part of the negotiations includes the EU demanding China stops their massive human rights violations, manipulation of currency, spying, and defiance of global treaties regarding International waters?
    8
  28. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. When we get through this period of 'abundance of caution', I think Vegas will see a period of record setting tourist visits.
    8
  29. Yep, the Democrats have been tearing us apart for 4 years.
    8
  30. I always like when logic and smart business wins out over unreasonable fear and alarmist rhetoric. The tragedies are behind us. I'll have no problem flying the Max.
    8
  31. Let's wait for everything to shake out. But in the meantime I will remind Democrats their leaders have always used "Every arrow in the quiver" (Pelosi quote) to play politics. For example, let's remember the Dem's lies and abuse of Congressional powers with a 100% partisan impeachment in a clear attempt to influence the election. And let's remember their political games trying to prevent Amy Barrett joining the SCOTUS. So...Dems shouldn't complain if Trump and the GOP put a microscope on the voting processes.
    7
  32. Benny Hill references are always appreciated. lol
    7
  33. He's been in Congress since 1987? A great example of why we need term limits.
    7
  34. China's 2017 "National Intelligence Law" requires all companies to "support, co-operate and collaborate on national intelligence work". This means the Chinese government has the authority to demand tech companies like Huawei turn over useful information or provide access to their communications and technologies. No one trusts China. Smart countries will keep Huawei products out.
    7
  35. It's a long story. Biden and Democrats got so many votes due to Covid, mail-in voting processes, and massive ballot harvesting (some legal, some likely illegal--tbd). They capitalized on their massive base of "low information" voters, who would vote for a sack of manure...as long as it's blue.
    7
  36.  Tomandtob ..Who knows. Maybe Denmark is interested. They're a smart country and know Greenland likely isn't going to be free of its ice sheet for perhaps thousands, even millions, of years (climate change hysteria aside). Is it really that valuable? And China is taking an active interest in getting a foothold in the Arctic. There could be a bidding war in the $Trillions.
    6
  37. CNN, many Democrats, and the anti-Trump cult are celebrating. In their delusional TDS world, they think this setback will affect Trump getting a second term. It won't.
    6
  38. "Biden's handlers and speech writers promote tax credit"---- accurate headline
    6
  39. The Dems have spent the last 4 years focused on lies, hate and overturning the 2016 election. They've hurt the country. In many policies and actions, they've put Americans second, not first. It's great to see them suffer for their incompetence and spitting on the Constitution. Trump 2020.
    6
  40. Petulant Pelosi has completely lost it. The Democrats are a laughing stock.
    6
  41. A reminder the 2008-09 Swine Flu pandemic killed between 150,000 and 600,000 globally (CDC data). Between 700 million and 1.4 billion were infected. Perspective people.
    6
  42. An inanimate carbon rod would be a better candidate for election than most Democrats.
    5
  43. Trump could announce a cure for cancer and the TDS-afflicted would say he's making it all about himself. smh
    5
  44. It's better to say that "All legal votes matter".
    5
  45. Democrat leaders fighting for illegals and undocumented or playing politics with domestic security are just a couple reasons to vote Republican and Trump in November.
    5
  46. Trump's leadership is huge part of the positive long term outlook for the country. For example, here's a reporter's question to Trump in yesterday's press conference regarding the lock down: "After the 15 day period ends, what should we expect? Are you going to extend it?" Trump's response: "We'll be talking about it. I'll be speaking with Tony (Dr. Fauci), I'll be speaking with Debra, and I'll be speaking with some of the people they like and respect. And I'll be speaking to VP Pence and everybody. I'm not going to do anything rash or hastily. We may open up in stages".
    5
  47.  @LovelyGamer115  ..The data says otherwise. For example, look at New York's rate of infection and death compared to California, who has DOUBLE the population. (26,000 deaths compared to 2,400). https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/coronavirus-deaths-u-s-map-shows-number-fatalities-compared-confirmed-n1166966
    5
  48. Good job by security. If they ripped down his sign or touched him, the anti-Trump cult and propaganda media would paint him as a victim. And speaking of...I bet CNN and/or MSNBC will soon have him on as a paid interview to push their anti-Trump agenda.
    5
  49. The context of Trump's use of the word "hoax" was regarding the Democrats using the crisis for political attacks, just like impeachment. This fact has been known for months. Therefore, why don't you just acknowledge you posted this comment trolling for "likes". Be honest.
    5
  50. "An impeachment of a President is an undoing of an actionable election. And one of the reasons we all feel so angry is they're ripping our votes from under us".---Jerry Nadler, 1998
    5
  51.  @parker2793  ..Good points, and I agree many mistakes were made. That said, I've flown Boeing planes hundreds of times. And I flew the Max many times before it was grounded. As you point out, it's reasonable to expect the safety issues have been properly addressed. We still drive cars/trucks that have had catastrophic mechanical failures resulting in deaths and recalls. This situation is no different.
    5
  52. Cuomo's incompetence made New York State a global epicenter for the pandemic. Compare California's numbers for Covid and remember they have DOUBLE the population. Forget about bailouts...Cuomo should be recalled.
    5
  53. So...eating bats isn't smart. Who knew. smh
    4
  54. Among the comments that need to go away on Youtube are those about the number of views or likes/dislikes. Comments like these are a great example of why the thumbs down icon should register.
    4
  55. Just curious...Do you blame Cuomo and de Blasio for over 32,000 deaths in New York State (about 1/4 of the country's deaths). If no, why not?
    4
  56. According to the CDC website, close to 70,000 have died since Feb 1 from a serious contagious viral infection....pneumonia. Perspective people.
    4
  57. Sure, take away even more freedoms from your citizens. That's a REALLY good idea China. (said in a very sarcastic tone)
    4
  58.  @yurikendal4868  ...I agree McConnell's been behind some political games. My point is he's not wrong about the hypocrisy from the Biden Administration regarding saying they want "unity" while forcing through a $2 Trillion bill. And he's right about the Democrats leveraging a Congressional loophole.
    4
  59.  @yurikendal4868  ...And please expand on your claim that "white supremacists" are somehow related to this issue?
    4
  60. Obama led the worst recovery from recession in history and added $10 Trillion to our debt doing it. And if he did such a great job with the economy why were the Democrats slaughtered in the 2014 midterms? The slaughter included the GOP taking back the House and adding a record NINE new Senate seats. Obama's lies and incompetence started the downfall of the Democrat party. Trump's 2016 landslide win came next. The best thing people can do for the country's safety and prosperity is vote Trump and the GOP this fall.
    4
  61. Gotta love how Trump handled this. Particularly the Biden point and telling the press to "Keep building this up as big as possible so you can have a bigger downfall".
    4
  62. Trump wins on the economy. No one believes Biden's unicorn promises, including a magical "4 million green jobs" that he thinks will replace the high paying jobs in energy he will eliminate.
    4
  63.  @bentmercer  ..Fun Fact: I'm a Trump supporter. I think the chances of illegal Democrat votes is FAR greater than illegal Republican votes.

  64. "Nothing the President said constituted unprotected incitement, as narrowly defined by the Supreme Court over nearly a century of decisions. His volatile words plainly fell on the side of "political advocacy", which is protected speech."----Alan Dershowitz
    4
  65. The Senate also represents the people.
    4
  66. You know he was referring to their use of the virus for political games as the hoax...right?
    4
  67. I'm trying to decide who Biden looks more like...the banjo-playing kid in Deliverance or Reverend Kane from Poltergeist.
    3
  68. The flu virus changes yearly, which is why the vaccine also changes. So of course Covid will do do the same. The current vaccine will be useless within a year. Buy stock in Pfizer if you can.
    3
  69. Let's drill down to the core concept of this topic: Constitutional Separation of Power. Trump has been very smart to leverage the power of the Executive Branch throughout his Presidency, just as past Presidents have done. He's also been incorrectly accused of "abuse" of this power The Congressional branch also has significant power. I'm biased, but I think the Democrat's 100% partisan impeachment is the definition of abuse of power. The third branch, the Judiciary/SCOTUS, also has tremendous power. But much like the Congressional branch, they have one major flaw...no term limits. Trump's smart to bring up the problem of the SCOTUS weighing in on political issues. It's not their job.

  70.  @davidg.3406  ...So, I assume you wouldn't question America's 'sovereign' right to build artificial islands in international waters in the South China Sea?
    3
  71.  @isaacschier9751  ..You lose all credibility when you repeat a media lie. Trump never said the virus was a hoax. The context of the word 'hoax' was the Democrats using the crisis to attacking him with lies...just like impeachment. Read his full quote in link below...and stop repeating lies. Regarding Covid, you really need to stop watching fear-mongering media and educate yourself on the big picture. Here, I'll help: 1. Of the deaths officially attributed to Covid thus far, about 48,000 were people who also had pneumonia. 2. The mortality rate is now less than 1%. 3. Only 7% of the deaths attributed to Covid thus far have it listed as the "only cause". In other words, there were other underlying health factors for the other 93%. 4. Weekly deaths have been falling like a stone since mid April. The number of cases is only part of the story.

  72. Demagogue: A leader who gains popularity by leveraging emotion, prejudice and ignorance to roust the common people against the elites and establishment. I remain perplexed there's still people who haven't figured out this describes Bernie... perfectly. And as a Trump supporter, I'm loving the Democrat circus and our chances to Keep America Great, regardless if we're up against Sleepy Joe or Bernie-the-Demagogue.
    3
  73. Trump does a great job in these scrums. I encourage people to watch them fully rather than just one or two sentences that media will cherry pick.
    3
  74. Why would you focus on how people communicate rather than what they say? Do you realize how illogical that is?
    3
  75. There's one good thing that may come from the death and suffering in this latest global pandemic....Those who've been brainwashed by the religion/cult businesses to believe in a "God" (pick one) may finally realize there's no such thing.
    3
  76. 74 million disagree.

  77. Goldfish I ..Well, as Alaska Governor Sarah Palin famously said, we can see Russia from Alaska. They’re a close neighbor up there.
    3
  78.  @SeaJay_Oceans  ..I'll bet they regret it everyday. $7.2 million is all they charged. Even in 2019 dollars it's a ridiculously low amount.
    3
  79. It would be helpful to see some actual footage of the incident. I can't find it anywhere. One would think there'd be plenty of video from the tanker, the navy ship, drones, etc? One would think the UK would be quick to release such footage.
    3
  80. Here's a sure sign you have full blown TDS...you see this as bad news.
    3
  81.  @parker2793  ..I agree the deaths were tragic and it's unimaginable to think of the terror. In terms of comparisons, we could also look at issues Airbus has had, some of which resulted in crashes and many deaths. When I fly Airbus these days, I trust the issues that led to previous crashes won't occur. Just like I hope that Prius coming at me on the freeway won't have its gas pedal jam. And just like I trust the Max won't have the same issues that caused the crashes.
    3
  82.  @burnamm7127  ..No one will force you to fly on the Max. There's plenty of options out there. Personally, I'll have no problem. And I'll probably have more options on airlines, price and flight-times than you. Again, it's your choice.
    3
  83. I still don't understand why Newsom wasn't recalled for ignoring the results of the 2016 Referendum on Capital Punishment. The majority of people voted to retain the death penalty but Newsom decided that Democracy only works if it aligns with his viewpoint. And don't get me started on California's sanctuary laws.
    3
  84. Pelosi is incompetent and petulant. She's supposed to be steering the ship but instead is sinking the Democrat party.
    3
  85.  @paftaf  ...Just to be clear, do you support China building islands in international waters (in defiance of international law)?
    3
  86.  @roni-yah9342  ..Fair point. But there's an extremely important detail implied by the Swine Flu death numbers: "an estimated 150,000 to 600,000". The reason for this huge spread is the VAST majority of people don't die from the Flu or the China Virus....they die due to complications with underlying health conditions. My point is clear...people need to lower their panic level and look at the big picture and historical lessons. While it's inevitable we'll see 10s of thousands of more deaths due to the China Virus, it's nothing new.
    3
  87. Pelosi say's Biden was "authentically decent"?! So...calling the President of the United States a "clown" and telling him to shut up is decent. smh Pelosi's lies, hypocrisy and incompetence continues to do more for Trump's chances than any other Dem leader.
    3
  88. Trump continues to provide excellent leadership on geopolitical issues. He'll always be a no-win with the TDS crowd and certain media, but they don't understand how complicated the decisions can be.
    3
  89. Trump tells it like it is. The jockstrap reference was perfect. Mostly because he's right, but also because it'll upset the Dems and TDS crowd.
    2
  90. I believe you're referring to Spock's use of the phrase: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few". From a Constitutional perspective, the principle can be rephrased as: "The rights of the many outweigh the rights of the individual". The SCOTUS has used this principle in decisions, particularly on interpretations of the 4th Amendment. And it's an apt reference for a pandemic.
    2
  91. Four years of lies, hate, and hypocrisy from Democrat leaders and 90% of our media is the primary reason the country is divided.
    2
  92. Trump could announce he personally discovered a cure for the virus and the TDS crowd would find something to criticize. Seek help people.
    2
  93.  @thedoopa3169 ..Good info, thanks for passing on and I'm glad you're well. Your experience confirms what we've heard from many who've been infected. And it confirms what many of us are thinking....we'll likely look back on the response to the China Virus outbreak and see that it wasn't as bad as past pandemics, or perhaps even as bad as regular seasonal flu (which has killed over 12,000 this year, including 100 children...in our country alone).
    2
  94. I'll bet there's people who think Harris is black. Just like there's still people who think Obama is black. They're best described as 'mixed race' or 'people of color'.
    2
  95. A reminder that people can self-diagnose if they have TDS. For example, if this video makes you want to attack Trump for simply working on the economy, you have TDS. Or if you bring up the Ukraine phone call, you definitely have TDS. Seek help.
    2
  96.  @scottwallofficial ... The Obama deficit point is the definition of confirmation bias. Remember, he also added about $10 Trillion to national debt. Moreover, he led the worst recovery from recession in history (measured by GDP growth year over year). The slow growth, higher taxes, economy-killing policies (+ lies and scandals) were why he led the Democrats to slaughter in the 2014 midterms, and eventually to Trump's landslide 2016 electoral victory. (I'm also guilty of confirmation bias)
    2
  97.  @FeralCompanions.  and Faint nE...I congratulate both you gentlemen for an ability to have an adult discussion on the topic. It's rare in a Youtube comment section for any vid that's related to Trump, where insults, ad-hominem and hypocrisy rule. We could go back and forth all day citing data to back up our opinions. Throughout it all, we'd all be using confirmation bias to defend our position. For example, I could also provide numerous links to non-partisan sites to refute your points... and then you'd do the same in return. So...let's just agree to disagree. And I'd be remiss not to bring the discussion back the big picture, which includes my aforementioned point on the poor/slow Obama economy (+ his lies and scandals) leading the Dems to slaughter in the 2014 midterms, and eventually to Trump's landslide 2016 electoral victory. Again, good job. I'm sure we'll chat again sometime down the road during Trump's second term.
    2
  98.  @RNNX86 ..That's a different discussion. I'm talking about communication networks and infrastructure. China's law means they could leverage Huawei products and technologies in foreign countries for intelligence and cyber attacks.
    2
  99. If you wanted more proof that its mostly the Democrats who abuse Congressional powers, crap on the Constitution, and divide this country....this is it.
    2
  100.  @totallyrandomhorror ..Your comment needs clarity. Why do you think there's "fat chance"?
    2
  101. Demagogue: A leader who gains popularity by leveraging emotion, prejudice and ignorance to roust the common people against the elites. I remain perplexed there's still people who haven't figured out this describes Bernie... perfectly. And as a Trump supporter, I'm loving the Democrat circus and our chances to Keep America Great, regardless if we're up against Sleepy Joe or Bernie-the-Demagogue.

  102. Hard to disagree with McConnell's key point at 0:20: The Biden Administration promised 'unity' but is forcing a partisan Bill through Congress using a loophole ("Budget Reconciliation").
    2
  103.  @rubyred93chev  ...Good point on McConnell's obstruction of Obama nominees. But you should blame former Democrat Senator Harry Reid for implementing the rule. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_option
    2
  104. Every now and then the rare earth discussion comes up. There are many countries besides China that have massive reserves. When China tried to manipulate the market in the past, new mines were opened (or reopened) in many countries, including the US. They don’t have near as much leverage and control as they once did.
    2
  105. hmalikfnp...If you watch full Trump press conferences you'll realize he does exactly the same thing....Empathy, updates, historical perspective, and most importantly....positivity and hope. And please, don't disagree unless you actually watch full Trump press conferences.
    2
  106. Democrats and the anti-Trump cult hate facts.
    2
  107. China's idiotic actions are helping to ensure we forever refer to this pandemic as the China Virus. Not racist.
    2
  108.  John Sabp ...It's a killer virus, no doubt. But we won't ever have an accurate picture on its mortality rate. It's estimated that hundreds of thousands have had the virus and recovered, without ever being tested...and thus never registered as an official case. Therefore, we know this pandemic will have a massive spread in assumed deaths. This is much like the Swine Flu pandemic 10 years ago, which officially killed between about 150,000 and 575,000 globally. That 425,000 difference is quite telling.
    2
  109. Trump continues to do an excellent job for the country.
    2
  110. If the passengers are found to be Covid-positive, Cuomo is sending them to nursing homes.
    2
  111. Fun Fact: Obama signed the $Billion dollar boondoggle known as the "Paris Climate Accord" by Executive Order, not through Congress. From an economic sense, the Accord benefits the world's worst polluters (China and India). Yet Biden has promised to rejoin the Accord, which will decimate jobs in the energy sector and hurt the economy. Democrats really need to ask themselves if this is required, particularly since we've lowered our greenhouse gas emissions by about 2% over the past decade.
    2
  112. Nothing personal, but all God stories (hundreds of them) are myths. And the Bible is a hate-filled fictional book written when humanity thought the sun revolved around the earth and didn't know what caused diseases or earthquakes. Think about that for a moment. I encourage you to keep your superstitions to yourself. Have a good one and all the best.
    1
  113. The Biden Administration promised 'unity' but is forcing a $2 Trillion partisan Bill through Congress using a loophole called "budget reconciliation". If Trump and the Republicans did the same people would lose their minds. McConnell's right on this one point.
    1
  114. A key Democrat political strategy is to fear-monger at any opportunity. They count on their "low information" voter base to always think the sky is falling.
    1
  115. A Biden Presidency with a Democrat-controlled Congress would decimate the economy. If you disagree, ask yourself why Obama and Biden's Democrats were slaughtered in the 2014 midterms, where the GOP added a net gain of 13 seats in the House and 9 in the Senate. And ask yourself why Trump won 2016 in an electoral landslide. It's the economy, stupid. Trump 2020 for prosperity.
    1
  116. Do you consider the lack of actions by Governors and Mayors as a contributing factor to the death total? For example, do you remember Cuomo and De Blasio's early response to the crisis? How about Pelosi's political attacks and visit to a China Town? Or Biden calling Trump's China travel ban "xenophobic and hysterical"?
    1
  117. Good points. Especially the fact DACA was enacted through an Obama Executive order rather than through Congress. It's a flawed process andit's legality and Constitutionality is still up for debate. But you'd never hear Dems admit this, as doing so would be criticizing Obama. Trump's approach to the issue has been good and while some say he's reversed course, I call it compromising and looking at the big picture.
    1
  118. Over 12 million people have caught Covid and recovered in our country alone. There's a lot to be said for herd immunity.

  119. Democrat leaders and leftist propaganda media like CNN and MSNBC are complicit in the chaos. They want the country to fail on the off-chance it'll help the Dems get back the Presidency and Senate. Fat chance. Rational Americans see through the scam and want to keep the country great. Trump/Pence 2020...and let's take back the House.

  121. Biden's handlers have had him sign about 40 Executive Orders (EO) in less than 3 months. Trump signed 55 all of his first year. Many of the EO's have MAJOR impact on the people of this country. For example, the ones eliminating Trump border policies that were a huge deterrent to illegals and the cartels. Didn't the Democrats promise 'unity' and 'bi-partisan cooperation"?

  125. So..will the Dems use another Stimulus Bill for more ridiculous demands like giving an extra $25 Million to the Kennedy Center, who is already eligible for many programs? How about another $100 million for the "National Endowment for the Arts", who has literally nothing to do with the pandemic? Dems never let a good crisis go to waste.

  126. On a related topic...There are STILL people who think Trump's 2017 travel and immigration ban on 7 Muslim countries who support terrorism is proof he's a "Religious Bigot" and "Racist". I've had people use these terms in recent chats. Trump's ban was for national security. Obama had implemented the exact same ban, as did dozens of other countries. I'm just pointing out yet another example of how ignorance and TDS is an epidemic in the country. .

  129.  Gilbert M  ..Trump isn't racist. Anyone thinking that has been brainwashed by lies from Democrat leaders and/or lies from propaganda media like MSNBC and CNN. Let me explain, using the most common lies. 1. Trump never called white supremacists "fine people". He condemned their actions in the Charlottesville riots. The context of "fine people on both sides" was the peaceful protests on a statue removal, not the riots. 2. Trump never said all Mexicans are "rapists and drug dealers". The context of his comment was the thousands of criminals pouring across our un-secure border. 3. Trump never wanted to ban Muslims. He simply put a travel ban on 7 Muslim countries that support terrorism. The SAME BAN that Obama had put in place. 4. Trump asking Obama to produce his birth certificate wasn't remotely racist. He was simply questioning whether he was born in the country and eligible to be President. 5. There's a lot of old stories trying to claim Trump is racist, and all are lies or presumption. For example, his "Central Park Five" newspaper ad and an old case from the 1970s where it was alleged his apartment buildings wouldn't rent to blacks. If you read the facts behind both stories, you'll discover there was zero evidence of racism. 6. Some Dems and Trump haters claim he's been racist saying things like "Shithole countries" about some African countries and "Rat infested, crime ridden" about Baltimore. But a logical person would agree with both statements and not see anything remotely racist. I could go on and on with examples of media and Democrat lies trying to claim Trump's racist. I know you'll never change your mind on disliking Trump. Just ensure it's not based on lies.

  133. R.E. Tired...There's accountability in the bill..the only issue is the timelines (as per Schumer's speech today).

Do you honestly support the Dem's position on the latter points?

  134.  @RETired-oc9xq ..Good to know, and on that we can agree. And yes, I'm a Trump supporter. I think it's completely unacceptable the Dems are holding up the stimulus package to push unrelated political agendas. We can debate the details of the corporate bailout and accountability, but it's at least directly related the crisis. I encourage all Dem supporters to email their Senator and ask why they're using unrelated issues such as Obamacare and the Green New Deal for political leverage. The China Virus crisis isn't the time. The Dems are holding the country hostage.

  151. @KT Chong ..The US prepared for a potential rare earth supply issue years ago. We've sourced supplies in other countries and developed or reopened our own mines. In fact, one mine in California EXPORTS thousands of tons of raw ore to China each year for processing. There's no "never ending" bombings in the Middle East. And our stockpiles of military hardware is far more that what would ever be needed in a conflict involving the US directly. Finally, I firmly believe the rare earth issue is primarily designed to manipulate stock prices. And although it's true China can provide some irritation and extra costs on the US with a manipulation of exports, it would only be short term. As well, China knows the US has many other options to retaliate in terms of a trade war. I predict Trump and Xi will make trade peace when they meet at the G20 in Japan in late June. Until then, it's mostly just sabre rattling and empty threats.

Judaism is based on the same delusional beliefs as the hundreds of God-stories that preceded it. It's a copy-cat religion. I will bet the Talmud's stories are amazingly similar to those from ancient Persia, Egypt, Rome, Greece, etc. The Jewish/Christian/Muslim God story is nothing more than a superstition. I find it mind boggling there's still people who believe, let alone take the ridiculous fictional books (including the Quran) as remotely inspiring.

  158. Trump's leadership is huge part of the positive outlook for the country. For example, here's a reporter's question to Trump in yesterday's press conference regarding the lock down: "After the 15 day period ends, what should we expect? Are you going to extend it?" Trump's response: "We'll be talking about it. I'll be speaking with Tony (Dr. Fauci), I'll be speaking with Debra, and I'll be speaking with some of the people they like and respect. And I'll be speaking to VP Pence and everybody. I'm not going to do anything rash or hastily. We may open up in stages".

And let's remember that many countries have FAR stricter 'merit-based' immigration policies that those being proposed. Trump's trying to strike a balance. You also contradict yourself. You first criticize Trump wanting to make it more difficult for legal immigrants, then you say voted for him because he was taking an "aggressive stance". It's confusing.

  166. The fundamental problem with any mortality rate data for the China Virus is it's only based on those who've been tested. It's estimated there's been hundreds of thousands worldwide who've had the virus and recovered...without ever being registered as a case. Those citing mortality rates of 3% (or an even more ridiculous 10%), really need to realize the massive flaw in the math.

  167.  @Learn_Local_App ...I agree Cuomo has done a reasonable job. And I respect that he's dropped his usual partisan-politics crap and thanked the Trump administration repeatedly for their help. But let's remember he resisted the early travel bans. And he allowed NYC mayor De Blasio to encourage people to still go about their business...very early in the crisis. And let's remember how media and Democrat leaders called Trump's early China travel bans "racist", "xenophobic" and "hysterical". Bottom line, I encourage you to reflect on how Cuomo's actions (or lack thereof) have led to NY State being an epicenter.

  169.  @mandy833  ..Trump has been very honest regarding his intentions early in the crisis: Keep the country calm. In hindsight, did he say some bad things? Yes. But it's ludicrous to micro analyze everything he said and did. If you do that, you must also look at Biden calling Trump's China travel ban "xenophobic and hysterical". And how about Pelosi trying to score political points by visiting a China town right after Trump's travel ban? Or how about Cuomo and De Blasio resisting all Trump actions and telling New Yorkers to just "go about your usual business". Bottom line, it's ludicrous to criticize Trump without also doing the same with Democrat leaders, Governors and Mayors.

Obama led the worst recovery from a recession in history (google it), which was a key reason the Democrats got slaughtered in the 2014 Midterms and eventually by Trump's electoral landslide in 2016. Then came Trump's tax reforms, massive deregulation, corporate investment incentives and the overturning of countless economy-killing Obama/Democrat policies, which lit a rocket under job growth and the economy. Moral of the story...it's the economy stupid. Trump 2020.

  177.  @lisanidog8178  ..Thanks for answering my question. You've confirmed my fears. You've been misled by lies from Democrat leaders and media. 1. Trump followed immigration/detention policies at the border that were established by previous administrations, including Obama. In fact, some of the pictures of "kids in cages" were taken under Obama and used by media to attack Trump. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/may/29/donald-trump/trump-correctly-tweets-democrats-mistakenly-tweete/ 2. The border wall had nothing to do with race. It's about better security and a deterrent to illegals. Those against a wall/fence or other structure on the border must want all the current barriers removed? For example, the one down the middle of San Diego. 3. Trump asking for proof of Obama's birth had NOTHING to do with race. It was about whether he was eligible to be President (those born in other countries aren't). Moreover, please remember that Obama isn't black, he's biracial (white mom). 4. Trump never banned Muslims. He simply put a travel ban in place for countries that support terrorism. It's the SAME BAN that Obama (and Biden) had put in place, along with dozens of other countries. Did they also ban Muslims? And now Biden is going to remove the travel ban, allowing countries like Afganistan, Syria and Yemen to send travelers. 5. Read all the details on that old case from the 1970s. There was ZERO proof that Trump was directly involved in any decisions made by apartment managers. This is one of the worst examples people try to use as proof Trump's racist. 6. Trump never praised white supremacists. He's repeatedly condemned them. And the Democrat and media lie that he called them "fine people" has been debunked numerous times. The context of his "fine people on both sides" comment was regarding the protests on a statue removal, not the riots. https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/apr/26/context-trumps-very-fine-people-both-sides-remarks/ 7. The beliefs of Trump's relatives/ancestors doesn't make him racist. By that logic, half the country is racist. Bottom line, you appear to be a smart person... but you've been misled by lies from Democrat leaders and media.

  178.  @1chish  ..Google "Airbus Crashes". Pick your source, and go from there. While you're at it, you'll learn there's many other plane manufacturers who've had major failures resulting in deaths, yet are still flying the same models of planes. As I said, I agree Boeing made mistakes and people died tragically. But it's time to move on.
    1
  179.  @1chish  ..Firstly, I never said Airbus has had crashes "like the Max". I simply pointed out there's been issues that led to crashes and fatalities. I encourage you to read comments thoroughly. Secondly, I always prefer people Google and pick their own sources of information. This prevents being accused of confirmation bias. But since you're unwilling to take 10 seconds, why don't you start with the following link, and go from there. And sorry to tell you, but facts contradict your claim on Airbus. Of particular note is the Egyptair 804 crash investigation, including the ACARS messages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incidents_involving_the_Airbus_A320_family
    1
  180.  @1chish  ..Nice try, but the "debate" (which you raised, btw) was regarding the issues Airbus has had that led to crashes and fatalities. You're attempting to shift the discussion to overall safety statistics. Such a misdirection indicates you're unable to refute my point. It's ok to admit when you're wrong...I do it all the time. As well, had you looked beyond the first paragraph into the list of crashes, you'd find many cases of the pilots "fighting the airplane" and/ or misinterpreting sensors and information prior to the crash. Sound familiar? And had you done your own research (instead of getting others to provide links) you'd find some concerning issues with a few Airbus crashes beyond pilot error, bad weather, etc. Particularly Air France 447 essentially falling out of the sky, killing over 200. That said, I didn't want to get off on a discussion on Airbus. I simply used it as ONE example of technical/engineering issues with cars, trucks, airplanes where crashes and fatalities have occurred, yet the same model is still in use. On another topic, I think we should be very skeptical of results of crash investigations. Companies like Boeing and Airbus spend $millions on lawyers and their own investigations to ensure final reports by "independent" bodies don't use wording or make conclusions that coould tarnish their reputation or consumer confidence. Or set them up for massive payouts to victims for negligence. I can bottom line this chat. I agree Airbus is an excellent and very safe airplane. I will fly it confidently. Just like I will have no problem flying the Max.

And just imagine how many fewer deaths there'd be without Governors making criminally-negligent decisions like putting Covid-positive seniors back into nursing homes, killing thousands. Or Democrat leaders telling everyone to "act normal, ride the subway, go to school". Or Fauci (the golden boy for Dems and Trump haters) making idiot comments and contradicting himself. Etc. Etc

  185. Pamela Wiles ..It’s perplexing you’re trying to debate the difference between a ban and a restriction. The point I’m making is some Democrat leaders criticized the action as racist.

  191.  @geoffreyselvage1673  ..Fair point. And a thumbs up for your ability to have an adult discussion on a topic. But here's just a few reasons I disagree with the Democrat's 100% partisan Bill: 1. All 5 of the previous Covid relief Bills were bipartisan. 2. Only 9% of $2 Trillion is paid directly to the people. And it's our money! 3. The rest is Democrat pork and non-Covid related wish-list spending (such as the NEA). Bottom line, the Dems abuse of Congressional spending powers with this Bill will come back to bite them in the 2022 midterms.
    1
  192.  @tommydevine9993  ...Fair point on the rest of the spending. I generalized. I fully support the $billions in Covid-related spending in the Bill, such as healthcare supports, vaccine rollout, etc. And I know there is some Republican pork in the Bill as well. But the Democrats partisan approach to the whole fiasco and spending such as the NEA grant is the kind of garbage they always accuse the Republicans of. Biden’s handlers and speech writers promised unity and a different approach. Thusfar, they’ve had him sign 35 Executive Orders (Trump signed 55 his entire first year) and now they’re ramming through a $2 trillion Bill we can’t afford. As I said, this will come back to bite them.

  197.  @dajokerjr ...My point is the current reporting on Covid 19 deaths is very misleading. Read the report that has the data I referenced for yourself, link below. It should be very concerning to everyone that we only have details on underlying health conditions for 6% of deaths. If you're comfortable just accepting numbers and assuming everything is like a drug overdose, that's your choice. I choose to seek facts and clarity. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6913e2.htm
    1
  198. Dajoker J ...Incorrect. Read the full report. The 6% (actually 5.8%) is for all 122,000 cases reported to the CDC as of March 28, including all deaths. The data you cite on the 7,162 cases is correct, but it’s just drilling further into the 6%. And I’d encourage you to stay away from citing a mortality rate for Covid. Do some research on the flawed data that many countries have used. I’m not saying the virus isn’t bad. It’s a killer and we have to take it very seriously for the foreseeable future. My problem is the fear mongering and misleading misinformation, especially death numbers vis a vis underlying health conditions.

  203. Here's why a couple of the moves by Biden's handlers are idiotic:  1. Obama entered the $Billion dollar boondoggle known as the Paris Climate Accord (PCA) by Executive Order, not through Congress. Think about that for a second. Now Biden is doing the same.  2. The PCA is self-enforced. Countries have zero obligation to achieve their goals. 3. The Accord benefits the economies of China and India (two of the worst polluters), and hurts ours.  4. There currently isn't a single industrialized country that's achieving their goals in the Accord.  5. We've achieved massive reductions in greenhouse gas emissions through technology and market forces. Rejoining a useless Accord is pandering to the globalists and idiot "progressives".  6. The reversal of the Trump travel ban on countries that support terrorism (i.e. Afganistan, Syria, Yemen) is idiotic. And it's the SAME BAN that Obama and Biden had implemented years ago.

  208.  @brianbatie6650  ...I agree we have to continue to work on lowering our emissions. But we certainly don’t need to be in the useless Paris Accord to do it. Do some research on it’s effectiveness. A study in 2017 showed that NONE of the industrialized nations were meeting their commitments. Moreover, even if they were, the targets do not come close to doing enough. The Accord is a prefect example of meaningless government rhetoric...which fits Obama, Biden and the Democrats perfectly. And I remind you that Obama signed it by Executive Order rather than through Congress. Imagine the outcry if Trump did that. Biden would be an idiot to rejoin. But I’m also a realist...and realize there’s a lot of “low information” Democrat voters who will think it’s a great thing. As well, the far left and ‘green new deal’ idiots in the party, such as AOC, will rejoice because it will give the government more powers. Bottom line, I agree we need to continue to work on lowering our emissions, for which we’ve been quite successful over the past decade through technology and natural market-driven changes. But the Paris Accord is completely useless, particularly since China, India, etc aren’t even coming close to meeting their commitments.

  211. Such facts and perspective are desperately needed among the lies and fear mongering. Well done.

  212. Cuomo is just a Governor, albeit for the second largest State. People need to realize that his "powers" are very limited in the big picture. That said, New York has been an epicenter for the pandemic, primarily due to lack of action and denial (i.e criticizing Trump's China travel ban) by Cuomo and De Blasio early in the crisis. So it's quite understandable they'll be days or weeks behind much of the country in terms of opening up.

  213. The CDC reports that only 7% of the deaths attributed to Covid thus far have it listed as the "ONLY cause". Think about that for a sec. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm

  214.  rebe brke  ..Do you think Biden calling him a clown was "decent" and presidential?

  215. Glass half full? This is actually good news. It will help remind people to look at the big picture. We're surrounded by viruses of many different types, which are constantly evolving. Between 250,000 and 500,000 die from seasonal flu every year.

  216. Hate to break it to you... but the "survivalist" culture is a $Billion dollar business built on unreasonable fear. Their business model is to make people think the sky is always falling and the end is near. (by the way, the Democrats use the same strategy). They publish alarmist bullshit of the coming apocalypse. They really want you to think you need to "prepare"...and spend $hundreds or $thousands just in case. Heck, you better build a bomb shelter in the back yard like the '50s. Ask yourself the following question before spending more than a few days worth of emergency food, water: How many times in the past 100 years has any American been left to fend for themselves for more than a few days due to a major storm or other natural disaster? Bottom line, there's a 99.9% chance that 2 years worth of food and water you bought will go to waste.
