Gauth I get annoyed with your bothsame shpeel alot, but this isn't even bothsame. This is Miami Shores actively supporting Trump. He thinks Trump is the best president ever (which is funny because Trump actively sucks ass). Miami Shores thinks that America could not be better than it is now (even though it has been on multiple occasions). Miami Shores will never criticize the God Emperor sadly.

Have you noticed his only reply to criticism of Trump is to chant the mantra about how he supports Trump, the other guy supports Democrats no matter their actual leanings and that both sides argue the same? Bothsame.


It isnt bothsame though because he thinks trump is better, and not just as bad.

He loves Trump. Loves him way too much.

Because President Trump is a Great President Making America Great Again according to my Political views and deserves reelection, as a Republican which I have a democratic right too.

The economy was actually increasing after Obama left office, so you can't really pin that on Trump.
It actually gt worse when Trump was in for a while.

Trump was slow to react, and is trying to gt the states to open back up, which would be the wrong thing to do.
Let's also not forget he cut funding to the WHO.

Why did I know you would strongly disagree with my post, perhaps it is because you are Democrat and I am a Republican and we think differently on the issues, it does not make either of us wrong or right, good or bad. But at times we agree.

Just like the Democrats are parroting everything the Democrats say, lets not deny it. Their are Republican talking points on the economy, the virus crisis and all issues. Their are Democrat talking points on the economy, the virus and all issues. Their are Republican spin machines and their are Democrat spin machines, their is a right wing media and a left wing media, fair and balanced and a constructive post, because it is the way I describe it on this post.

Why are they doing so great? Is it because they have more young people and can allow the virus to spread via herd immunity?

What about the fact that it is now clear this virus has been spreading exponentially globally since at least December, if not earlier? That has literally no relevance at all.


It does because it makes these lockdowns pointless and any data regarding their effectiveness meaningless woolgathering.

Again and for the last back and forth on this I did answer your question directly and I added how they both parrot their talking points, which they both do, no circle about it.

When you don't even believe this virus should be taken seriously, that people should die for their precious Dow, and that those infected with this virus shouldn't be able to sue, well... this is a conclusion, alright.

Had one of those revelatory experiences. I was ready to go into work.

Then they sprayed the subways with disinfectants. This is from 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.
https://qns.com/story/2020/05/02/subway ... afe-cuomo/

I thought bleah do I want to be disinfected.

Then they found two dead homeless people on the subway and I decided that I might wait until they finished disinfecting the subways.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/new-york-hom ... s-12-hours

98 of the subway workers have died.
https://www.nydailynews.com/coronavirus ... story.html


That makes 100 subway deaths.

I might go in next week when they finish disinfecting the subways to do a little work...

As a note I get daily requests from Tump to support him as well as Biden. I am registered as an independent. There is a local politician with a poorly put together write in candidate.
