BF2S Forums Presidential Election 2016

it's an affront to intelligence that your national leader asks shit of his top scientific advisors like 'and we can't use the flu vaccine?' like how much does trump seriously, fundamentally under-estimate (or rather not grasp at all) how complex and deep these subjects are? oh, yeah, just stick any old vaccine in someone's arm and see it it helps! it's like a grade school understanding of the world. he has absolutely no notion at all that there is a world out there of nuanced, complex problems requiring serious, patiently researched solutions. trump is still in a baby's oral fixation stage of arrested development. his whole life he has seen something, reached out, and grabbed it (by the teet or by the pussy). he's never had to actually intellectually reckon with a world out there. as a consequence, he can only interpret this crisis as a narcissist, that is, as a personal insult and a damage to his reputation/re-election prospects.

utterly terrifying.

it reminds me of this video where a top intel briefer basically said, being extremely polite and euphemistic, that he is unique among presidents in that he 'lacks the context' to evaluate ordinary intel. what that means is that he's fucking stupid and couldn't point to syria on a map, let alone grasp the political situation there. what that means, effectively, is that a cadre of diplomatic and intelligence workers are taking their dossiers-full of research and being greeted with things like 'why can't we just nuke them?' or 'let's take him out' or 'why are we even paying for this?'



you get the leaders you deserve.

I just want to say thank God with didn't put that bitch Hillary Clinton in the White House.

I doubt he would have done anything for the Jews.

Yes, an irrelevant backbencher in opposition has done a great deal for the palestinians, what does that have to do with the discussion?

Strange that when jews are legitimately criticised they complain of 'vicious vilification' and invoke anti-semitism and the holocaust, its almost as if its and unthinking knee-jerk reaction to everything.
Now NYC has by far the highest level of infection in the US, clearly the gypsy's warning of the measles epidemic didn't work.

Two groups which refused to comply with anti-contagion practices citing 'god', its certainly the case that a Korean cult caused it to explode there.
Probably their weird practices spread it well before anyone was aware though - maybe there should be a clampdown on weird practices.

Maybe their selfish dishonesty will be the end of them.

We are all very lucky this crisis happened under a Trump presidency instead of a Clinton one.

Congressional Democrats are willing to pass whatever economic relief bill Trump will sign. Republicans are also a little more willing to go along with measures to flatten the curve if Trump is saying it. If Clinton was president, Congressional Republicans wouldn't pass any economic relief bills since they will not want to spend the money and the crisis isn't real. They would either call the whole thing a hoax to take away their guns and the Constitution and/or a virus created by Democrats to kill old people to save the welfare state and pass socialized healthcare.

Search your feeling. You know I am right.

I know it is cliched but I have heard people say that Trump's supporters see him in a totally different way than other people. "Trump is a poor man's idea of a rich man. A weak man's idea of a strong man. A dumb man's idea of a smart man". His tough guy routine is very appealing to the crowd who drinks Budweiser and watches pro-wrestling.

So Bernie just dropped out

I can't say I'm enthused for the smug, backhanded attempts at "coalition building" from capital-D Democrats in the coming weeks. Our best shot at getting Trump out of office is now the guy who's like 75% likely to challenge him to a pushup contest on the debate stage. Hopefully soon they can get the print shops working on Obama-esque posters with "nothing will fundamentally change" slogans. He still just has to somehow win, though.

The Democrats are becoming like that annoying aunt who starts dropping hints in June that they're free for Christmas Lunch.

Covid-19 related births net +1 over deaths.

Wait until 9 months from now, that number will be quite a bit lower (in the deaths column, higher in the births column)

True, but hopefully the "new" deaths will be far in the negative.

I'm not sure what time frame they're using, probably 24hr?
