I feel he loves a good war

It's also live on youtube.

I heard a rumor he was trying to figure out how to give his phone permission to use the camera on the live stream app over the weekend and that he also has an elite TV studio in his home like some kind of mad baller.

Also I have been publicly on political SM calling for Joe to honorably drop out for lying, which has prompted some very interesting reactions and responses. Who knew partisan Democrats act like partisan Republicans when their “winning” conventional wisdom is merely questioned? Even an ordinary political argument like “Joe should resign” draws all sorts of inane interpersonal-aggression. Sheesh, like they never picked a bad dog-faced lying leader before?

I think you are being unrealistic if you think Trump can stop a rising death toll from a global pandemic, that's shut down several european countries.
You have to access Trump against similar countries. In fact, Trump should do less well, as he has the resistance dems, and the mainstream media working against him, and parroting Chinese propaganda.

Uncosted giveaways is Bernie's speciality. You can promise anything when not in power. UK lib dems are a great example. Promised to write off student debt etc, because they knew they'd never be in power. But freak election put them in a coalition. I don't think they made good on a single promise lol.

These companies are being forcefully closed. Nothing wrong with them. And by extension you are agreeing with forceful closures.

If the government forcefully closed all good businesses down so that olds can live, government better go on its hands and knees and bail every single business out.

You will bail these businesses out with your tax dollars, and you will like it. Its money well spent.


I'd have much preferred just letting olds die than go through another depression. But socialists don't want that to happen.

If they were asked to close and then did so under their own free will then you would have a decent argument. However, in the current situation the government owes these businesses nothing. This is more like an 'act of god' scenario where it was necessary to close the businesses. It's the businesses own fault they didn't save for a rainy day or have insurance that would cover them in such a scenario.

Apparently you haven't been following what happens to young people.

(not that we should get into that discussion. There are multiple covid-19 threads)

Who the hell will hire you if there are no corporations left? Trump's Mara Lago?

Sheep need to be herded. Corporations do a very good job of herding sheep since you can't source income on your own.

This is for your own good.

So when government closes all travel from foreign countries its the airlines's fault they can't survive. Oh they will survive, everyone gets fired first and they put their assets into hibernation.

Typical bolshevism. Destroy it all and blame the victim.

You're wrong though. Some will survive.

And lol @ me being a bolshevik (coming from the person that doesn't want the free market to decide). It seems to be a common trend in this thread for people to name call when they have difficulty making a sound argument.

how anti-semetic of you!

These bailouts are literally for the common people.

Corporations are just owned by shareholders. Shareholders like me lose money, so be it, I don't care.

Letting the whole corporations collapse because of a forceful shutdown will just throw tens of millions into unemployment ala 20+% depression. Employees will literally just sit at home doing absolutely nothing until a corporation comes back along to hire them.

Of course some airlines will survive, many corporations will survive. Like I said they will fire every one first and then put all assets into hibernation until they are allowed to fly again.

If you would prefer that option, then fine.


Restaurants where I live are being forced to close their doors, no customers by decree. It's the restaurant's fault they can't survive? This is Maduro levels of total insane thinking.

Unemployment will go above 10%. Businesses will be bailed out. However, not all businesses will be bailed out. There will be winners and losers. The US government shouldn't be in the business of bailing out bad businesses, especially when those businesses are not particularly viable in the near future. Should we bail out theater chains too? Retail stores? Night clubs?

common people dont own stocks. ffs 60% of the country doesnt even have 500 in the bank.

Common people don't own stocks? What do you think makes up a 401K?

he's hiding like the true coward he is

The people Victor cares about do not have a 401k plan.

He's right, the baristas and wait staff of the world who have no emergency fund aren't going to benefit from QEinfinity.

We've decided to nuke the American economy to mitigate the possibility that a relative few people die of otherwise treatable medical conditions during a healthcare availability shortage.

"Bold move, Cotton, but absolutely no chance this one pays off."

I saw a maintenance request come through last night for one of our units from a guy who works at a butcher shop. He still has to go to work, but his washing machine is down. Our service company is shut down and not accepting any service calls right now. All the laundromats are closed, so that tenant is going to have to get creative because he can't show up and handle raw meat with dirty clothes. I had three commercial tenants call me this morning to say they won't make rent and ask what our "program" is. All three have been living on the edge for a while, and this is what'll break them. We have no program. We're a small business with less than 200 units. If the banks tell us we can stop paying our mortgages, we'll pass the mercy along. Until then, rent is due on the 1st.

WAAF

Thanks, Obama.

And that's the democrats best ?

Biden read his speech fine. Maybe it was recorded. But seems that is all he is going to have to do for a while. No questions from reporters or events. Just read a 15 minute speech once a week. Maybe a TV interview from his house when he is well rested.

Not exactly a very inspiring show of leadership from someone vying to be head of the most powerful nation on earth.

I understand isolating and potentially having to talk down republicans behind the scenes from nuking Wuhan or some other crazy neocon ****. But the image to the public has just been... meh.

If Trump (or more accurately a smattering of people dragging him kicking and screaming through this) locks down the country + gets some people hopped up on placebos and the storm is weathered, who knows what reality will be sculpted afterwards.

Seemed like a well written speech, he presented it coherently in a somber, serious tone. I think people want it one way but its the other.
