Did you listen to the orange mans press conference today? He is literally begging/agitating for a new civil war they way he talks.

Yeah. I’m tuning him out now.
It’s a mess.

 

[justjess]

Yeah. I’m tuning him out now.
It’s a mess.

I go back and forth on a near daily basis whether I should listen to him myself and get angry, or read the news about what he said and get angry later.

Because today was a big announcement I chose the former. I wish I hadn’t.

 

[justjess]

What did he say? I’ve been too busy enjoying isolation

Oh a couple step plan to reopen the economy, some states as soon as tomorrow.

Some governors did a good job, others did a terrible job. The protestors are okay cuz they like him and also want to work. We aren’t a country that sits home, we are a country that WORKS (apparantly at all costs). Some governors did fantastic and got no credit, others got all the credit and did a bad bad job.. same bullshit tbh. He makes my blood boil.

And poor Fauci has been pushed completely to the side and it has been made fairly apparent no one cares about his opinion anymore.

Bread and circuses. Pick a fall guy. Pass the buck.

I wonder how “great” those “great” states will be doing when us northeasterners decide to grace them with our vacation money? Since they are going to be open and all.. and no sacrifice is too great to keep the dollars rolling in

Kinda surprised nobody has tried to bump off the POTUS.

I wouldn’t be surprised.. the type that usually attempts assassinations all LOVE him

 

[justjess]

I said he’s waging a cold civil war. Let’s hope this doesn’t get “hot” over the summer. What a sociopathic lunatic. It’s hilarious the “moral majority” is on his side.

Things always get more violent in summer.. hot temperatures = hotter tempers.

They are going to be unlocking people from their homes unevenly or uniformly.. broke, hungry, angry, looking for someone to blame.

I’m sure that’s going to go swimmingly..

Meanwhile, Trudeau told Canadians it will be "weeks" before they start easing the shutdown measures.

Yes, all I hear in the far right, evangelical, Republican chat rooms is how much we all want civil war, and how disappointing it is that Trump is such a wonderful president that no one even wants to whack him.

 

[justjess]

Idk what’s about to happen in my purple state... the house and senate (Republican majority both) votes to restart the economy effective immediately along party lines and the democratic governor has announced he is going to veto it. Shit is about to get ugly imo..

I’ve already seen large amounts of businesses flagrantly breaking the business shut down with advertising on Facebook. Meanwhile my little business is sitting here doing what we are told losing money.

You aren’t an extremist. There are different groups of people that like trump. It isn’t one size fits all. But extremists do tend to like the guy.

If it makes you angry, don’t watch. Just get your news from an article later in the day. Don’t stress yourself out

the thing is it’s extremist on both sides that entice each other. It’s not just alt rights fault, it’s not just hardcore liberals fault. They entice each other and thrive on these type of situations.

Antifa and q anons like the civil war mongering.

Kinda surprised nobody has tried to bump off the POTUS.

For what? He has pretty much followed the script.
He mouths off and shit, but it's all scripted.

Landlords Are Allegedly Asking For Sex From Tenants Who Can't Afford To Pay Rent Right Now

“We’ve received more cases at our office in the last two days than we have in the last two years,” one women's advocate told BuzzFeed News.

That's just nasty.

How Some Rich Americans Are Getting Stimulus ‘Checks’ Averaging $1.7 Million

While wealthy Americans are not eligible for the $1,200 stimulus checks being disbursed to many Americans, they are on pace to do even better. 43,000 taxpayers, who earn more than $1 million annually, are each set to receive a $1.7 million windfall on average thanks to a provision in the CARES Act.

So I don’t think that 2k a month per person is unrealistic

To be rich. Why can’t I hit the lotto?

To be rich. Why can’t I hit the lotto?

Or start a small business.

This is the corona thread.
Unless your particular boogyman is deliberately spreading it...
Different thread?

Also, you shouldn't make sweeping generalisations.
There is always some insignificant person that disproves your rule.

I wasn’t the one that originally brought up muslims as terrorists. Someone acted like they weren’t and I was arguing that they were.

They all get their theology from mohammad who carried out what he put in the books and told muslims to be like him...one must look honestly at hard things if one wants to understand what’s going on.

And fun outweighs the psychological well being of the traumatized? Many of whom are veterans who “fought for this country?” That’s bogus to me. I loved the holiday as child seeing the display at the lake in my hometown. But then you learn what it actually is and it’s repulsive.

Sure as it stands now it won’t hurt the majority, but the minority that can be hurt by it is in the millions. I’m not willing to sacrifice someone I don’t know, let alone people I love at the altar of capital.

The God you worship Lisa is a devil. It’s evil. It doesn’t exist but the idea of it that is in your head, and millions of other radical Christians, is real enough and it the most evil God to have been thought up by Humans.

Peoples right to fun often trumps others right to comfort especially on there 4th. And people are ‘celebrating’ the 4th to light off the fireworks not because of what the 4th stands for anymore..at least I believe the majority does that.

What’s wrong with the what the 4th stands for? Freedom is a good thing...people yearn to be free and will do almost anything to live in the US...it’s only the spoiled people who live here who can’t appreciate the freedoms we do have that’s sad.

It’s time to go back to work..

I’m not sure why you think God is evil or Christianity to be radical. What is radical about going to church and telling people the Good News?

 

[Lisa]

Freedom for who? You think freedom was ever legitimately “for all” in this country? In every metric the US is less free than Western Europe or most of the Commonwealth countries.

Sure, people try and die to get here. It’s better than a lot of countries but don’t act like it’s the best. Many of those people trying to get here are victims ( either militarily or economically) of our Empire. And we have the laxer immigration laws than most of the developed world. Let them all in. I’m not the one that hates immigrants and refugees, that’s you.

You won’t be going back to work. You’re an aging housewife you won’t risk your life for it. People are still working now, the people that will be put back to work will be blue collar workers. The parasite class of executives and managers will work from home until there is a cure.

How many are you willing to sacrifice to save Trump’s election chances? And you call yourself pro-life.

God is evil because it’s a reflection of you, and you are evil Lisa, to the core.

Everyone is free in this country to live the life they want to live not many places can say that yet people wan to say that the US is the worst when that’s not true. Many Cubans lost their lives to come to the US for a better life than communism. It’s people like that who seem to be able to really appreciate this country for the freedoms it offers people who live here...and that’s why they come.

Many people coming here are victims of their only corrupt countries where they existed but when they come here they find the freedom to be more than just existing..they can have real freedom and live the American dream. It’s too bad the citizens of this country have been taught some bitter lies that have the population turning on the greatness of what America stands for..we probably do deserve slavery if we can’t see the greatness of what we have compared to what most people’s lives are like in this world.

I don’t have immigrants..but the need to come legally and not demand to be here illegally. That’s only common sense.

I’ll go back to work when God is ready for me to, right now I’m here in this place.

I don’t think we know exactly how it will all come to pass and you’re just speculating on how you think things will be..it’s that jealous envy stuff coming out.

I don’t think the pandemic is a pandemic..and I think if there was something to be worried about..it’s all past is now, so I think people should be able to go back to work.

I’m evil because I want people to go back to work? People want to go back to work...
