    Former Trump Homeland Security adviser: 'Little value' to European travel restrictions.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/487180-former-trump-homeland-security-adviser-little-value-to-european

    Read of another science opinion saying the European ban is the right thing because that's where majority of outbreaks re happening. 

    Northern Italy. Italy outsourced it's textile industry to China brought in Chinese staff. 

    Globalism is awesome.

    No one is cheerleading.  Stop being a troll.  

    Stoking panic. Exploiting fear. Get the people thinking you can help them when it's all a power grab. War, famine, depressions. History is full of it.

    Page 1 of the far left. I'll admit you know your stuff.

    So... he can't  be criticized for his poor handling of this pandemic and the fact his focus is on the economy and not people- because that would be exploiting the pandemic? 

    Because you're cheerleading chaos and misery and panic. You think it's a good thing.

    Sick leftist justification for political change.

    Stable geniuses. 

    Strong stock market has nothing to do with Trump. Even if it did so what. Nothing to celebrate

    This market turmoil has everything to do with Trump. Personally his fault. Time to get angry.

    Same people.

    There is nothing he could do to disappoint you is there?   

    Plenty of disappointments. Said so many times. 

    Stop exploiting a pandemic to score imaginary points for the game in your mind.

    It's unhealthy.

    I guess if you think that all problems reduce to just writing a cheque in the right amount, you could believe that.

     

    But money is the "gotcha" point you used..

    As far as governmental red tape and beurocratic mismangement surely youre not suggesting this was invented in 2016 ? Surely youre not ignoring state and city governments, many of which arent republican,  have a role to play?

    Surely youre not ignoring how globalism, which both parties worship, has robbed countries of the ability to be more self sufficient in extraordinary times like this.

    Exploiting a crisis like this to score points is despicable but not surprising.

    Its so early.  Obama will campaign for Biden which will be big.  Warren will.  If Bernie does too, its a landslide.  Who will campaign for Trump?  People who have been stained by Trump already.  Their preaching to the Trump choir.  

    Last minute Chuck Norris endorsement will put Trump over the top.

    Well its on Bernie to either be a sore loser or not.  He's finished as a presidential candidate due to his age.  But he can have an impact if he throws in with Biden.  I expect him to be smarter than to kneecap Biden.  No great conspiracy here, he appealed to a niche market and lost.  

    Biden is riding high but to keep the momentum one has to campaign hard and Biden can't do that.  He hasn't really earned much it's all been given to him.  Eventually the momentum will die and Democrats will need all the help they can get to keep it all afloat.

    I cant predict the future but you really think everything we've seen is indicative of Dems not voting?  Come on.... Take off the orange-coloured Trump shades.   Barring an act of God, a major Biden scandal or insane levels of cheating, Trump will get trounced.

    No,Bernie supporters not voting is the question plus the Democrats possibly losing Sanders considerable ground level organizing which are key in close races.

    They are some angry people among them.  Can't count out localized violence either.

    You love Trump, Bernie running splits the Dem vote.  I mean, thats sort of obvious no?  Russia would love it too.  Russia and Trump would be so happy.  lol

    What's worse vote splitting or no votes at all ? Angry Bernie types sick of business as usual Democrats and getting screwed over again, which explains Bernies rise in the first place , will stay home.

    You can hope he runs as a 3rd party but that would be massive wishful thinking on your part.  Bernie is a prick, but not big a prick.  I assume he isnt dropping out yet and will see what happens coming out of the debate.

    Sounds like he is staying in another round. Hoping Biden implodes is a desperate strategy.. 

    Why would I wish for a 3rd party ?

    I've been reading about negative partisanship lately which basically reasons that people tend to vote against people rather than for people.  Studies began in earnest in the 80's in countries with multiple political parties so these parties could leverage hate/disagreement in order to win.  I totally plead guilty as a voter to this as I am ABC provincially and federally. 

    The U.S. Republican party was really first to the gate to use this in a two-party system, which explains why Republican voters always seem so angry.

    If dislike or hate is actually THE motivating factor in the upcoming election, I think Biden is going to do just fine.

    Except Trump haters don't see it as negative at all or even calling it "hate" They think it's perfectly righteous and justified but refuse to concede the same notion to how their opponents  think and vote.

    I was just pointing out how out to lunch that misogynistic comment of yours was. Should have known I was going to get a reply dismissing that chauvinistic "vibe". 

     

     

     

    Even among liberals, progressives, and leftists she never finished higher than third in any primary and lost her own state.  And you don't think there was a like ability factor ?

    Tonight, so far,  Sanders lost 3 states, including (for him) vital Michigan..and getting blown out in the process.   Losing Washington State, later.... would pretty well finish the job.

    Would take a spectacular,  irreversible mistake or a debilitating health thing for Biden to change the trajectory

    I swear there is a team of Rider fans who search the Internet looking for any criticism of the team, its stadium and its fans so that they can step in and defend their team. I mean, I'd laugh about us living rent free in their heads but who wants to live in Saskatchewan even if its rent free?

    Heard from more than one media source. Rider fans make social media a gong show if theres negativity perceived. Making job harder and less satisfying.

    that's exactly what we need in the USA -- fewer people with healthcare.  That covid-19 has to incubate somewhere!

    Trump has already done his part to damage health care in the USA by firing the CDC pandemic response team, while his justice department argues hard in court that insurance companies should be allowed to discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions.

    In fact, Trump's most recent budget proposal calls for further cuts to the CDC, and his budget director defended those today to Congress.  c'mon, dude.  learn to read a room.

    Just freed up billions to address the virus. More than what was asked. Which any president would have done. To insinuate there is somehow less money to combat Wuhan is flat out dishonest.

    So wrong and such an ignorant comment. 

     

    First of all... she is a dog person.

    Second of all- she is married.

    She was a professor, not a librarian. 

    And if she is scolding you... you probably deserve it. 

     

     

    Which is why I said vibe which isnt always an accurate reflection. Seen pictures of her when she was young. She was very attractive if that helps you.

    People in Canada might not realize that in the USA. regulatory capture has led banks to pursue a wide range of unethical and criminal behaviors to keep the bottom line up and to the right.  Wells Fargo, one of the biggest banks here, has basically been Saul Goodman Financial for years, with billions in illegal profits.

    Liz Warren has done way more than most to hold those criminals to account -- you can look it up -- and this is why wingers' talking points about her are so mean and sexist. Wingers love corrupt banks, or at least, they love carrying water for corrupt banks even as they shriek about evil globalists.  But I'm surprised to see you (Zontar) repeating that National Review talking points on Warren so uncritically, I didn't think you saw eye-to-eye with the neocons and the globalists.

    As said before she lost because she ran a horrible campaign. Economic ideas could have gotten her traction but the decision to go youthful, full woke identity politics alienated key parts of the voter base she needed. Exit polls showed that.

    Subjectively, she just wasnt likeable enough. Attacking Sanders and Bloomberg was supposed to help her instead it just entrenched peoples opinions of her.

    Except... none of what You said above is true.

    Aug, 2012.

    An election year. 

    Danville, VA.

    Vice President Joe Biden tells a black audience a Republican nominee would "put y'all back in chains".
