Take your lithium.

You're living proof that idiocy knows no political affiliation.

You're oversimplifying his appeal so you can insult those you disagree with.

I have friends who have money on him not even making it to the election. Probably gonna lose that money at this point, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Your assessment isn't wrong, but it doesn't give proper credit to the left and the direction of the country that lead to him being elected to begin with.

You think I’m joking? The state of Minnesota purchased a warehouse for dead bodies.

Think we'll need the warehouse the state purchased to hold all of the dead bodies?

You're right, let's go back to when politicians were well spoken nice liars. That was much better.

Yeah, Trump doesn't have any inside information as the leader of the free world. Seek help.

I'll never understand how people who don't have 1% of the information will be so quick to draw conclusions when there are people who get paid to do these things and have 100% of the pertinent information(IRS) and they haven't charged him. Do you think it's possible the IRS is better at deciding his guilt or innocence?

Great and if he did anything illegal he will be punished accordingly. What's the issue?

I'm not confusing anything. Wealthy people rarely pay personal income tax. They own real estate which they are depreciating, they own business assets which they are depreciating. They pay millions upon millions in taxes, but not personal income tax. Capital gains tax, payroll tax, property tax, corporate income tax etc. You are the one who doesn't understand and it shows.

And if he is their employer, guess what he has to pay to run their payroll??????? You guessed it, taxes!!!

Bingo!

Every time this tax stuff comes up it just blows my mind the percentage of people who don't understand how taxes work. You think Trump gets paid as an employee the way the guy making minimum wage at the local gas station does? It's the system that's the problem, not the people who find ways to take advantage(Legally) of the way the rules are written. If he's done things illegally, than he should be prosecuted like anyone else. If not, and you still have a problem with it, contact your representatives and get the laws changed.

Tactics are tactics, but let’s not make the voter registration movement from democrats out to be altruistic. If voter demographics were to change in the future, we both know the democrats wouldn’t be pushing to be so inclusive. It’s all about winning, not about trying to be inclusive.

Genuinely curious, does this ballot have your name on it or is it completely empty?

And explain to us then how the approach you laid out at the end to vilify many here is different than our approach to influenza each year. We sacrifice a percentage of people each year so life can go on, knowing people would be saved if we did things differently.

Is that a small, acceptable percentage for you? That’s a larger number than the fatality rate for covid under 20.

Let’s say we have a serial killer on the loose. Up to this point, the killer has exclusively targeted women, in bars, after 1 am on only Friday nights. Guess how society would respond? I can tell you we wouldn’t close the schools or shut down high school sports.

I understand these are two completely different scenarios, so the comparison isn't nearly perfect, but why are we ok with taking people's rights away for Covid, but not for these destructive riots? This has been four months of this now.

Isn't there something that can be done that keeps all of these people off the streets? Peaceful protests sure, I'm with that. But we all know how this will end, can't they get ahead of it somehow?

The article you posted disagrees with you. He plainly states we will never be completely rid of this and we will need to achieve herd immunity at some point. People who aren't vulnerable to this virus should be doing the opposite of what you say. Why post an article if you are planning to disagree with it?

You don't even read the articles you post do you? They plainly state that herd immunity is necessary to get through this. They simply believe it needs to be done with a combination of natural cases and vaccination. So for now the best approach is to protect the vulnerable and let everybody else get it.
