ex-President Trump - Page 1081 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

It wasn't because of his and O's skillful protection of the American populace :-) H1N1 =60.8 million cases.... COVID19 = 19.9 Million cases....WP sir!!!

Only through the grace of Mother Nature was there not a calamity of Biblical proportions.

Such a silly comparison/argument. It was sort of humorous, though.....

Imagine being so dumb you're still doing idiotic swine flu whataboutism after >300k Americans have died of COVID. Trump supporters are not sending us their best or brightest

Kind of agree with the orange man here. The federal govt needs to hold the states' hands for logistics?
The state should know the best way to get the vaccines distributed in their backyard and then ask for help where there are shortfalls.
I'm sure some states with competent leadership have some alright.

Even if the Dem's win the Georgia Senate seats and take control they would not have the votes (66%) to 'Convict' in the Senate and it would be pointless to do it again to an outgoing POTUS if you cannot convict.

But if there is a desire by the GOP by then, to put a bullet in Trump and end his threat to run again in 2024 because most of them know it is theatre and just meant to keep them in check, and they could get enough GOP votes to convict, then they should do it.

I think you haven't considered (as you should with any statement from Donald Trump) that he's actually just lying, and the federal government hasn't actually given states all the doses they claimed they would. The CDC website itself claims only 11 million doses have been distributed, when the government was recently targeting 40 million by end of the year.

Oh hey, np1 thinks an administration should use its stick handling to stop the spread of a disease they know does not have a high fatality rate to just prove they can.

What np1 does not know is that humans build up a little data base of protections due to exposures to these lesser viruses (especially Corona Viruses) such that future strains may have less impact on us, when they spread. Thus if you know you have a new strain with small and mostly inconsequential impacts, it is actually good to stick handle it through and let it run.

The good stick handler blocks and pushes aside the bad viruses (covid19) while letting the lesser ones through (H1N1).

I imagine it probably leads to the end of 2p2 as well but I mean, so?

I just posted this in the congressional stimulus thread but the internet in its current form is essentially impossible without something at least similar to section 230.

I don't think it's hyperbole to say that 90%+ of internet businesses would not be viable without something akin to the legal protections provided by section 230.

Although I guess it's fair to say organising delivery of 40 million Pfizer vaccines that need to be kept at a constant temperature almost as cold as Hillary's heart is a unique situation but they've had months to figure it out.

Yeah, had H1N1 been as deadly as Covid, I'm sure they would have handled things exactly the same way. No way they respond differently to completely different viruses. Thank goodness for Mother Nature!

You should have seen how Obama let another corona virus, the common cold, run through America during his two terms. If not for the grace of Mother Nature it would have been year after year of calamity of biblical proportions.

Anyone watched 'Death to 2020' yet? Brooker does a sterling job trying to satirise Trump, but Trump satirises himself constantly, so it's not easy to find a new angle. The focus on the really uncomfortable advisor during the Trump babblings about bleach and light was good though.

Was looking at it, as I've loved Brooker ever since his TVGoHome website days, but all the reviews I've seen slated it.
