What do you think, how our lives will be after the pandemic?

[Endymio]

Yeah, that story doesn't sound solid...

It was much worse than "not solid": it was intentional fabrication.

"...Trump would never miss a photo op. I especially liked the one where he had the Secret Service tear gas protesters, while on his way to St.John's church.

Again, false. One Secret Service member pepper-sprayed a protestor who was belligerent and refused to move. No tear gas was used, and Trump certainly didn't order the incident in any case.

So tell me, was the episode on the White House balcony, where Trump was all pumped up on steroids, proclaim, "covid is nothing to worry about", a hoax as well? Did all 3 major networks who were streaming it live, conspire to doctor their videos?

@Endymio You know, Donald Trump is a sociopath, and his egomania is abundant and pervasive. He really hasn't achieved anything in his presidency besides promoting himself to a rabid bunch of zealots such as yourself.

And I hate to bring up the "A word", (Adolf), but these are the same type of people that hung on every word, out of "Der Fuhrer's" mouth.

Everything Trump has said or done since the election points to a diagnosis of "paranoid delusions of grandeur". it's really sad.

The only reason he won the last election, was because Hillary Clinton was a weak candidate.

He only laid down 300 miles of his promised border wall, (not that we need it).

Mexicans have sneaked into this country for decades to pick our crops. and then gone home or been deported afterwards You like to eat, right? Maybe you should thank them for their efforts in jobs that Americans simply don't want to do, instead of branding them, "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves".

All the Latinos I've met, have been hard working, and pleasant to deal with..

We can go back and forth on this forever, since you've apparently absorbed every bit of propaganda the sociopath in the White House has put forth. It still won't make him the next president.

All Trump amounts to , is a spoiled brat, in his second childhood, that never really got over his first.

He's a tax evader, and the list of his failed endeavors, at least equals his successes. Oddly, Republicans have managed to sweep all that under the rug. Say want you want about "fake news", but the major news networks have always been forthcoming, and truthful over the decades I've been exposed to them.

Like I said before, if the only people you think are reporting news faithfully are Rush Limbaugh and his ilk, you are a sad, sad, brainwashed Trump groupie.

I sincerely hope you won't waste anymore of my time quoting me, or trying to make me believe Trump is is anything other than a self involved piece of sh!t.

But I know that's about as likely to happen as the second coming of Jesus.

So after having debunked your "Trump's plotting a military coup" hoax, the "Trump called Covid a hoax" hoax, the "Trump dissed WWI vets" hoax, and a few others, you dive right back into a new one?

No, his speech wasn't a hoax, but your characterization of it is. He stated we shouldn't let fear of Covid dominate our lives, a very similar message to Winston Churchill's "we have nothing to fear but fear itself" message -- and I'm quite sure the Nazis were a much larger danger than Covid.

 

[Endymio]

He's a tax evader...

Not according to the IRS. I'lll take their word over yours.

...and the list of his failed endeavors, at least equals his successes.

Over 500 business started, only six of which declared bankruptcy, and at least 3 of those 6 were simply Chap 11 reorganizations, which meant they stayed in business afterwards. Given that roughly 50% of all new businesses fail, that's an excellent record. So-- once again, you're spreading fake news.

I've heard the Eastern District of New York Federal Courts might be in disagreement with that.

But he'll have to be out of office before they tackle the case.

"Presidential immunity", is convenient for "the Donald", which is probably why he's clinging to it so desperately.

Why wouldn't he relinquish his tax records anyway? Because he's just too proud of them?

You heard wrong. But what's one more bit of misinformation compared to the dozens of others you've spread, eh?

these are the same type of people that hung on every word, out of "Der Fuhrer's" mouth.

As any student of history knows, Democratic Socialism began as a far-left political organization. Hiter's Sturmabteilung (the Brownshirts) were nearly identical in both ideology and tactics to the modern-day group known as Antifa.

I don't recall Joe Biden running as an "Antifan", nor do I recall him proffering a "final solution" against Republicans, or world domination by military force

So, keep FUDdin' away there Trumpie.

 

[Endymio]

I don't recall him ever denouncing their months of rioting and arson either, nor their violent attacks on people for their political beliefs.

As for a "final solution", some of the progressive wing of Biden's party are loudly proclaiming the rich have "no right to exist". The Nazi's confined their complaints to rich Jews, rather than all rich people, but otherwise their complaints and suggested solutions were very similar. And the Antifa members targeting certain shops for looting and spray-painting slogans upon even more eerily echo the same sorts of attacks that preceded the rise of National Socialism.

Genuine protesters protested peacefully. You can't accuse peaceful people of doin the burning and looting. Those involved with those actions, are currently being hunted down and arrested, as they should be.

Those that did the looting,and destruction, particularly the looters, were acting in a very opportunistic and self interested way. I don't think any of the peaceful protesters believe that they were contributing to the cause, but rather detracting from the message.

Quite frankly, a pol;ice squad should have been sent out to arrest the officers involved in Floyd's death on a charge of murder, and that should have been the end of it.

IMO, those on the right and the right-leaning like to blame the problems on everyone else rather than face their own contribution to the problem.

If police could not just claim, "I was afraid for my life" to justify their actions, I bet there would be far more arrests of officers like those involved in Floyd's death. Until we see more action taken against police that engage in such actions and a change in the law that lets them claim "I was afraid for my life," I think we are in for more unnecessary deaths, and more unrest to come.

I particularly find it disgusting that some spout that Floyd should have complied. WTF? He was subdued and could do nothing, obviously, at the point of his death. How much more compliant would people have had him be?

It will be interesting to see where the case against the involved officers goes....

EDIT: I agree. There were peaceful protestors; unfortunately, there were also those who were only self-interested. Unfortunately, it turned into a massive spin-doctoring opportunity for the right.

Please don't confuse me with a liberal as my buddy Endymio has. If anything, I lean towards centrism. All I see in the news these days is pure bullsh!t coming from both sides.

The "Black Lives Matter" movement is in the process of crippling law enforcement's ability to do its job..

The trick now, is to make attempt at resisting, so you can claim "police brutality".

As an example, take the recent killing in Philly. The subject was gunned down, after multiple commands to put down the knife he was wielding.

So, the headlines read, "another poor black man killed by police".
The truth is, the, "27 year old father of nine", was as crazy as a sh!t house rat. His own sister called those officers to the scene because, "he's beating on my mother, and I called the cops before, and they came out, but didn't do anything".

So, the question to me becomes, what is this a**hole doing while he's not freaking out, beating up his mother, or screwing some b!tch, trying to , "put more jewels in his crown"? Probably putting in a Social Security Disability claim.

With nine kids in the bag already, (with possible mental health issues of their own), how many more would be coming out of the nation's paycheck, if he had lived to 40?

But all of a sudden he's "a victim". From where I sit, this was , "a public service homicide. We should have therapists on call 24/7 to talk him through his "issues". (Assuming we could pry him off of one of his 'ho's' to reason with him)

You've got a whole generation of sociopaths, from 13 on, blowing one another's brains out on this city streets, without fear or remorse.

I think the BLM participants should clean out their own damned nests, before they take to the streets over one body, especially since they've dropped 400 of each other's, this year in the city so far

Then they want the mayor to do something about, "gun violence". To which I say, "you raised these pieces of sh!t, take some responsibility and clean up you own mess".

So, whatever the police have done to them, they're doing to each other exponentially.

And the nonsense you get back from the black community amounts to little more than, "we don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies, Ms. Scarlet".
