Unraveling of America? Is the decline of our "empire" a given at this point?

"Stand Back and Stand by"

The followup show I watched mentioned how he did not condemn white supremacists at all, but I thought they missed the real observation!

Even if he had said "stand down", the telling thing about his wording is he sees himself as being in a position of authority over them and is giving them direction as if they are his troops, rather than giving his opinion of them, which was what Wallace was asking for!

Anyone who is in denial, trying to say Trump is not a racist, just got torpedoed by Trump, himself!

You mean there is a huge difference between those 3 Nordic countries, my point, to have such a difference in the death rates between Sweden and the other two?
And, what would be the best diet to be resistant against this Sars-19?

Sweden seems to have been more proactive with isolation than the other two and the number of cases and deaths in Norway & Finland are rising.

I have seen comments about Vitamin D (and others being consumed in recommended amounts) being helpful and avoiding inflammatory foods. Also, obesity, Diabetes, cardiac issues and Asthma are big factors in the susceptibility & severity of cases.

Just think. After @Gmoney posted that, there was still an HOUR left in the debate.

Did everything he mentioned happen in the first 45 minutes?
I'm thinking he posted, then edited as the debate continued!

Maybe, but I read it when he posted so I may not remember it all. Hard to keep track of what happened when, it was a headache.

Believe the truth!

There were no cuts during the Trump admin.
Trump tried to make cuts, but the Senate did not approve them!
So if you are championing Trump, he failed by intent, but was unable to get his wish!

"The reserves were not brought back during the Obama Admin" is a true statement, but it is misleading! As I explained before:

So, there were cuts, but they pre-dated Trump (and certainly cannot be blamed on Trump).
Trump wanted to do the wrong thing, but was blocked.
Obama wanted to do the right thing, but was blocked.

Obama could have used an executive order to get them. That wouldn't have been a bad thing.

That would be cool, but this is also kind of cool:

Announcing the COVID-19 Therapeutics Accelerator

Mark Suzman announces the COVID-19 Therapeutics Accelerator, a partnership between the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellcome, and Mastercard. The initiative aims to identify potential treatments for COVID-19, accelerate their development, and prepare for the manufacture of millions of doses...

But that was a reaction- if they had acted on PPE before this hit, we wouldn't have had as many deaths.

 

[highfigh]

So, this is a secret lie? Is this possibly the virus-related lie, that all of the restrictions are in place only so the Democrats, now infiltrated with the woke progressives, can exert control over our lives and behaviors? That as soon as Trump is out of office the virus will miraculously cease to be a factor, businesses will re-open, but not churches? Biden will resign from his new office, Harris will become president, and the Bernie-Squad communist-socialist (or whatever) progressives will take over, eliminate private property, and redistribute wealth to the noble poor people who deserve it more than the people who created it? Got it.

Let's make this really weird- what if Biden leaves office, Harris takes over and makes Pelosi VP?

Let's make this really weird- what if Biden leaves office, Harris takes over and makes Pelosi VP?

Appointing a VP mid-term requires a majority approval of the House and the Senate. If the GOP retains control of the Senate, no way.

Edit: However, if the election remains undecided by the end of Trump's term, I understand the Speaker of the House becomes interim President on Jan 20, until the election is decided...

Actually, it was not a reaction.
Their foundation has been making preparations for an event like this.
That is how they had the detailed plan for the Therapeutics Accelerator program and the agreement with Wellcome and MasterCard all in place by March 10th of this year!

The bottom line is his actions are in synch with his presentation on the threat of a virus.
I applaud him for trying to raise awareness and taking actions to do something about it.

...

The world is into this since February. The figures I posted were very recent. Obviously Sweden didn't do as well as you think or as effectively as you think or their deaths would be way lower and obviously the other two countries did something very well to have death rates 1/9 the and 1/11th. Simple as that.
As to that others you mentioned, one would need to have studies about vitamin D and the other issues how different we are and Sweden is.
Oh, Don't forget, I believe they have a great medical system, no worries who will pay the bills.

 

[mtrycrafts]

I wish Biden had slapped the lardass orange belligerent pig everytime it interrupted him during the debate (send it running back to its bunker) this evening. This was singlehandedly the most disgusting presidential debate i've ever seen.

I wish for lots of things but some would land me in jail.

I had to give this post a "winner" feedback because you have somehow, in one run-on paragraph, captured the chaotic ambiance of that ShitShow!

@KEW , Well lol, it was Very entertaining to say the least the debate that is. Can't say I've ever Witnessed a presidential debate like that. But yeah I was watching and typing at the same time I watched it to the end and I stopped at that point posting. I wanted to focus on the issues, than the entertainment,
Don't know about you guys that was one of the best for entertainment purpose debate in my life time to-date.

Yes I was posting and editing, had to! I threw in the humor, well cause I was like Oh no Trump didn't just say that. Biden coming back with some of the best one liners I ever heard live on National television.

Sweden spiked earlier and Norway & Finland are now catching up.

I doubt the fact that the bills are covered has anything to do with Sweden vs US. Look at Americans- CDC puts adult obesity at over 42% and that brings several conditions with it.

Obesity is a Common, Serious, and Costly Disease

Get the latest data and facts about adult obesity in the US.

www.cdc.gov

This chart compares countries and the percentage differs from the CDC's finding, but the difference between the US and Sweden is huge.

Pretty much.

When I first met my wife she had an older Saturn that for some reason freaked out when you unlocked the car with a key and didn't "disable" the "alarm". It was really that using the unlock button disabled the sort of alarm that came with the car. The key didn't. That car had all sorts of weird electrical issues.

Well, during the super bowl (back when I actually cared) her alarm would not stop going off no matter what. She called AAA and they came out and it took them AN HOUR to get it to stop. We just sat in my truck and talked while that poor guy was working on it.

Not imagine if it took 3 YEARS to make it stop. I'm getting to the point I have to tune this stuff out.

I did too. I came away a firm believer that marriage counselors should be the highest paid profession on earth.
