I can agree with this in every way,

as it pertains to national emergencies.... it is literally the playbook on how to destroy the republic

Do you feel his Presidency has been dare I say "underreported"?  He has kind of 'flown under the radar' and gotten away with alot, perhaps?

Absolutely.... any other presidency would have been ended by at least a dozen of the scandals that Trump has skated on.   The appointments of family members to key government positions and the flagrant self-dealing with his personal businesses would not have flown in any previous presidency either Democratic or Republican.

I swear to god it's like you live in an alternate reality.  You should really seek help for your fixation with Fauci on this.   

How about you help me get away from my fixation and tell me a war story? You seem to have "expertise" in that category.

I stated that the coronavirus had the potential to kill more Americans than all wars in history combined if allowed to grow exponentially.  We've taken the most extraordinary measures to prevent the spread in modern history and right now the death toll would be fourth on the list of American wars and is going to surpass WWI for third on the list in a couple of weeks.   You've repeatedly misstated my post because your either incapable of making a good faith argument or are extremely lacking in reading comprehension skills.

we're looking at casualty number in the U.S. alone that exceeds any military battle in history.

Whatever you want your narrative to be you just keep being you.

Riiiight.  In no parallel universe would Covid have killed that many people by now.      

That said, it is crazy by the end of the month Covid will likely be the 4th deadliest event in US history behind 1918 pandemic, Civil War and WW2. 

To put it in perspective, at our current pace (especially now that we're opening) we'll pass Civil War casualty numbers in just under 2 years.  Civil War lasted for 4 years.

Do you feel this current pace keeps up?  If not why even say that.  #fearporn

House Dems introduced another stimulus bill estimated at...........$3 TRILLION! When does this nonsense end? Oh wait.....not until Fauci says so.

Who can honestly look in the mirror and say that they want their kids to have a better future than they had, when they won't have a future with all the debt the country is taking on.  I guess for those living in fear, there isn't much to spend money on other than TV and a psychiatrist anyway.

but with socialism (when done correctly i've been told) there is nothing to worry about bc magic fairies do all the work and everyone stays at home drinking mountain and playing COD til 3am.

This is where our society dies.  Everything we’ve done for generations is about striving for a legacy.  Striving for a better life for our families.  
 

There is an interesting play here if we repatriated industry and set a flat corporate tax....lower corporate taxes used to benefit our country by allowing for more net profit to invest in expansion (employment) that led to more growth by those employees consuming.  Once business got “smart” they kept the low taxes, but off-shored jobs to further inflate margins and found every tax shelter on the planet...Apple, Amazon anyone?  Now we are where we are.  I cannot support increasing personal income taxes, but a corporate flat tax might be our path forward.

To the just one lifers out there.....when comparing Covid-19 to past US war body counts, at least try and be accurate.  During the Civil War, WW2, pretty much any war, the vast majority of deaths were in the 18-45/50 age range and were perfectly healthy individuals....otherwise the military wouldn't have let them join.  How many perfectly healthy people has COVID-19 taken in that same age group?

Go check out a basement Biden conference if you want to see disasters.

My question is, where does this money come from? I guess we're just going to print it.

Initially? No.   Covid is likely seasonal, so I expected it (like the flu) to subside greatly in the summer months.  But this isn't happening.  Here we are in May and it's just starting to spill into every nook and cranny of the country....especially now with the nation opening up.   Then we probably have a heavy round 2 coming in the fall/winter coinciding with the flu. 

I'm not advocating lessening all restrictions, but at this point we're gonna have to accept Covid as part of life, realize a lot of people are gonna die and move forward the best we can because people need to get back to work.

I mean, "news" stations doing this pre-dates Trump. While the media/news cycle continues to evolve, I don't recall Bush or Obama reacting to anywhere near that or even trying to escalate the situation. 

True. But with Obama the dial was at a 2. Bush was at about a 7 and they have ripped off the knob with Trump.

Do you really think the sitting President of the United States is going to go into a red-hot ER and "visit" people?  At least use your melon before you post. 

I would imagine, that he wouldn't get in anyways. Nor should they let him in.

An ongoing event that make your numbers pale in comparison.  Granted these figures are worldwide and not just USA.
