  1. The fact that a President elect has to even say something like that...

  2. To be fair. Simply not being him would be of great benefit.

  3. Can't you kids come up with something more creative? The same old MAGA mantras are just sad.

  4. ​@trakeespree no wars or inflation increase during his term... a drop in overdoses during his term, the best economy ever during his term... not starting his career out with $400M... eating cats and dogs... etc. All of those things are easily disproven with minimal research.

  6. He has no policies. Only concepts of policies. If you'd bother to do any research, you'd find that, unlike him, she's laid her economic policy out along with other issues. He just makes vague promises and your brain assumes he has plans to back them because it wants him to.

  7. ​@mle9852 The same reason casinos comp rooms. There's more to be made by placating the ignorant

  8. It's to be expected when you're the front man of a fascist party.

  9. There was more than just the family photos in the ad. He and his crew apparently went solo at some point for random footage of him in section 60 as well.

  10. ​ @KlaudiaShaefferr Mommy, mommy, those kids did something too... Defend him with adult arguments or don't defend him at all.

  11. Even Trump knows he can't hide behind that childish excuse this time.

  12. He's projecting.

  13. ​ @janetprice85 There's more than just the family related footage in the TikTok ad. He and his crew went solo at some point, in violation of the rules and that's what they were confronted for. The families wouldn't have been involved with that. Besides, the rules are clear whether families are OK with it or not. No campaign use of the cemetary. He could have simply laid the wreath honorably without his campaign recording it for a campaign ad.

  14. ​ @lindajimenez701 Nah, too much credit. He's a less competent version of Mussolini.

  15. ​ @Bluesit32 Shh...MAGA is allergic to the truth.

  16. ​@markroberts9290 He can't make campaign footage of it, and he definitely can't go off without those who invited him and take such footage which the TikTok ad they made clearly shows they did at some point. He's shown without them in various parts of section 60. That violates the rules...and a TikTok ad of it is about as tacky and disrespectful to the cemetary as a whole as it gets.

  17. Even if you catch it, it's mortality rate doesn't actually appear to be that high (on average less than 1% for young adults in good health and up to 3%-5% for high risk groups.) The death count will likely be high due to the sheer number of people who will catch it but individual odds for survival aren't horrible.

  18. Have you noticed that he hasn't even tried to deny this. All he's done is try to explain why he did it. One of these days, his diehard supporters are going to have to come back to reality and face the fact that they have been worshipping a false idol. Also, a competent President would have sent the national guard, not "agents" in to protect federal property. The latter were guaranteed to make things worse.

  19. Indeed. Too many red states are already getting more federal assistance than they pay in federal taxes...

  20. The only chicken is Trump. One look from Putin and he pees himself. Although that might just be some weird kink they have with each other...

  21. If the majority of American citizens had just a rudimentary understanding of how their government functions, they would have known that Roe v Wade had to be overturned eventually due to the poor reasoning of it's argument and that Congress could have fixed the problem at any point by simply cementing abortion rights directly in the constitution via legislature...

  22. Yeah, stick to his own propaganda media so his followers can hide from reality.

  24. And who's so terrified of Putin, he's willing to sell out a country we have a signed agreement to defend from Russian invasion, while being dumb enough to do so from a position of strength thinking Putin would actually honor any such agreement.

  27. No. The man tried to overthrow our electoral college certification. That's a big deal.

  30. He knew about this strain in late fall/early winter of last year and took no steps whatsoever to get us prepared for the possibility that it might eventually make it's way here. This is like making a lazy fielding error in baseball giving your opponent a run but then making a nice play later in the game to prevent one. At best, his handling of this is mediocre.

  31. @jen5022  The economy is improving, inflation is dropping, and we're recovering from the covid mess quicker than most countries in the world. This is the real world where it takes a little time to get over a global pandemic. Not some fairy tale world like Trump lives in where the government can wave a magic wand and magically fix things overnight. Put him in office and he'll destroy the economic upswing and price decreases that we've been seeing. (And yes, prices have been slowly but steadily decreasing for a bit now.)

  32. You mean MAGA Republicans. Real Conservatives can't stand to be in the same area code as Trump.

  33. Mostly, he lost the center vote due to his nearly eight years of persecution and purging of his own party's moderates and centrists. That has shown those who lean toward the center that he has no place for them in his vision of America. Much less the left. Can't win without the center.

  34. His campaign has given three or four versions of it since it broke. The army has given one. Then there's the footage in the TikTok ad they were foolish enough to put out that clearly shows that they broke the rules... Why can't he just come clean?

  35. That's not going to help much. Aerosol droplets carrying it have been shown to be capable of remaining airborne for up to 3 hours (depending on their size and other factors.) A shield won't really prevent the inhalation of the smallest droplets floating around.

  36. What type of illness it is doesn't matter that much. You're still left with an extremely high infection and mortality rate (compared to nearly all other flu strains) regardless. Vaccines take time to develop and produce. Especially in quantities necessary to out pace such a high infection rate (once you've caught it, a vaccine isn't really going to do anything for you.) The average flu spreads relatively slowly and the choice of which strains to vaccinate for is made long before flu season actually begins. Having to do it all on the fly after it hits is always going to be a mess. Edit: They're making a big deal out of it because it is far more contagious and deadly than the flu (or flu like) strains we usually deal with.

  37. Get out of here paid PAC account.

  38. Not a high enough mortality rate to be some sort of terrorist weapon. However, considering the low rates reported in Russia and old Pooty's penchant for creating chaos in countries with more economic success than Russia has had under his corrupt dictatorship, I wouldn't be surprised to find that it came from there...

  39. He's the one who can't go more than two minutes without a "comrade Kamala" or some variant. She at least has laid out some of her plans.

  40. Her party got hijacked by a fascist movement...not much you can do about that other than join the real Americans supporting Harris.

  41. @Ervinabrahamian  I'm an independent centrist and a realist who simply doesn't want Trump's dishonesty and the voluntary ignorance and mass hysteria of his supporters to hijack the country I love and turn it into something wholly un American. I only side with the Dems because they are currently the only party demonstrating any long term intelligence when it comes to most policies and their views I don't agree with would never survive Congress or SCOTUS.

  42. They are. Just not via press conferences. The CDC for example has been doing a decent job of releasing info on their website.

  43. ​ @markroberts9290 It's an official campaign ad...

  44. America isn't fascist and should never be led by one. His opponent's party is the only one of the big two still willing to work with all sides and thus the only one that can truly represent the people of this country fairly.
