Have Republicans just stopped posting here?

Likely having a protest Zoom sit-in at Nulli's place.

This wipes out all of the jobs that Ivanka has created.

It has nothing to do with the run away pandemic due to poor planning.

People are exhausted by all the constant winning. They're staying home because they're winning so much, it makes them sick.

We take him too seriously. He was just joking. He's playing us like a fiddle. We keep falling for it. He's no different from Obama. They all do that. Trump tells it like it is. He's refreshing. He's emptying the swamp. Lying is no big deal. At least he's not Hillary. Joe Biden can't even string three words together. Trump plays chess while everyone else plays checkers. He has a plan. He's a businessman!

/s

And then Joe could do the proper thing.. and die.

Oh come on now. Joe doesn't have to die.

We have precedence.

George Bush didn't have to die for Dick Cheney to become President.

One was part of a coup plot, the failed at his job.

After 4 years of fake news and two coup attempts, only the die-hard left cares what the MSM says anymore. Astonishingly.

According to the DR left, echoing China's propaganda, Trump is the source of all of this.

This is what Jeff and RoC consider "contributing to conversation."

They couldn't imagine how the DR would survive without their stellar insights and perspectives.

You guys are hilarious. Thanks.

HOLY ----!

That's a million more jobs than Ivanka created!

I'm drafting legislation to give all Inspectors General protected 7 year terms. Sound like a good idea?

No, it's blatantly unconstitutional. Members of the executive branch serve at the pleasure of the President. Wow.

"That's a nasty question, Big Mac or McChicken. You should praise me first before asking such a nasty question!"

'cause it is the right thing to do. These people are corrupt.

Graft And corruption, oh my, Trump would never even Think of that. Say it isn't so.

I'm concerned about his mental acuity, so I'm not committing until I see his VP pick.

*diagnosed cases. Hooray for testing. National peak in about 3 days.

Provide some proof. That should be a pretty low bar to step over.

The problem with all the righties like Jeff is that they try to argue every single aberrant thing that Trump does...

I'm not big on conjecture. I want proof, not speculation.

Why do small businesses want government handouts? What happened to their bootstraps?

Ivanka Trump to save America.

Kushner has already saved the rest of the world so he had to leave her something...

It's been interesting that DR lefties have noticed that very few conservatives are even posting any more.

I've also noticed a lot less misinformation, disinformation, and trolling. Less obfuscation and deflections. It's been a better DR overall.

Well, you got your echo chamber.

Not in the slightest bit. Unlike the Republican cult of thought control. Democrats and liberals have a lot of perspectives to share.

You no longer have to spend much time having your views challenged.

We no longer spend time correcting your bullshht and dealing with your nonstop deflections and water carrying.

It's been great.

I hope this makes you happy.

It really does. Especially reading you crying about the fact you can't lie and post bullshht any more.

You got what you've been begging for.

Yep. Less bullshht. It's been wonderful.

Good job, I guess.

Yeah, because misusing the word coup is surely going to make people listen to what you have to say.

Idiot.

Because murder is not illegal if the cops won't arrest you.

3. Most people who do understand the scandal would rather just wait until November to kick Trump out of office.

See where you coming from but I restate it like this:

Most people who do understand the scandal want Trump gone this second but have already tried impeachment and seen that the Republicans are not going to oust him even if he does shoot someone on 5th Avenue, so raising another scandal at this moment is pointless.

People like these understand that every second Trump is setting policy as it regards this pandemic, the longer it will go round and round our nation in waves of sickness and death that this nation hasn't seen in over 100 years.

November can't come soon enough.

#13 How are these IGs corrupt? One followed the law when recieving a whistleblower complaint and the other had the job of preventing theft of bailout money.

Enlighten me.

Sorry but not being #7 at all.

Herd immunity requires a substantial percentage (percentage based on the R0 number for a particular virus) of the population to have developed immunity. It used to be believed that 90% was sufficient for measles/rubella, but the antivaxxer movement has illustrated that target needs to be closer to 95%. For even a minimum benefit to be seen with SARS-CoV-2 it appears that it would required something on the order of 50% of Californians to already have been exposed, show almost no symptoms (or else we'd know), and to have developed immunity. Given we can see quite clearly how the virus spreads, what it does, who needs treatment, who becomes unavoidably symptomatic, etc. from Vo, Italy and Iceland, what the National Review is saying is just impossible.

I'm going to add herd immunity to the list of things the National Review has no clue about but feels obligated to talk about.

A member of the first group I mentioned. Not quite ready to die for the Fuhrer but at risk of death by plague anyway along with the rest of us.

This is no time to be bitter. The primary objective is to get rid of Trump and save the country. Remember, United we stand, Divided we FAIL.

(Reuters) In related news, 65% of Republicans, including 95% of Republicans on the Drudge Retort, believe the letter is legitimate. This despite learning that the letter was crafted by a Russian group connected to Putin.

Now we can focus. Get that evil POS out of the White House!

Trumpers have already proven there isn't a thing he could say or do that would stop them from supporting him, so this is meaningless.

Pro tip: Don't read an editorial and take it as straight news.

I didn't. There have been multiple stories and reporting from all over the country of the feds confiscating orders from states and private entities through the use of emergency powers at the same time Trump has told the states to get their own supplies.

Maybe if you strayed from right wing garbage sites you might find actual real news every once and awhile.

Why do repubs hate to see regular people make money?
Is it that a happy slave is a lazy slave?
Why are massive payments to the undeserving
rich never questioned by them?
Bankers get billions with no strings but some schmoe gets an extra $600.00 a week and it's all so unfair?
People need to survive. The banks already have the money, why do they need more?
I thought the "free market" Was about not picking winners and losers but letting everyone compete equally. The rich always get special prices and arrangements that regular people never get.
Mortgages get tax breaks,renters do not.
Capital gains are taxed at half what wages are.
Well to do people pay less,often no, payroll tax.
Why are massive subsidies given to the people who arguably need them the least?
Our society is structured to facilitate exploitation at every level. We fought the bloodiest war in our history to end chattel slavery. That tells you Everything you need to know about the Conservative mind.

@#3 ... Sadly, such a thing is a rarity these days. ...

They are out there, a lot of them.

One just needs to stop confusing "articles that are neutral" with "articles that say what I want to hear."

... Want to see the damage done by the Democrats' week-long delay in passing the emergency relief bill? ...

If only the Republicans would agree to oversight of the money being spent, the bill would have passed so much more quickly.

Why don't Pres Trump and the Republicans want any oversight of how the money is being spent?

If the delay is as critical as you mention, why did the Republicans force the delay in the first place? Why didn't they just agree to oversight?

@#2 ... Where is the National Review on our slow response to our domestic outbreak and the exponential increase in cases that it caused? ...

I can answer that one...

The National Review is desperately trying to pull attention away from that and towards anything else they can find.

Just reading their articles, and watching their talking heads on the news shows, it seems that diversion of attention is their current quest.

At some point it will be necessary to just let the lemmings kill themselves. Have them sign waivers that allow local hospitals and first responders to refuse treatment since they refused to stay home and let them die.

Stephen King said it best:

It is not a national scandal because:
1. Most people have no idea what the IG even is;
2. Our attention is mostly focused on the Corona Virus; and
3. Most people who do understand the scandal would rather just wait until November to kick Trump out of office.

#12

The people Trump fired.

I mentioned in another thread that after Trump Congress is going to have to pass a slew of new laws and regulations to keep future presidents from doing what Trump has done.

I think all the IGs should be removed from the Executive Branch and put into the control of the legislative branch since that is their function anyway, to oversee the President's picks. Defined terms seems like a great idea along with IGs only being fireable by Congress, not the President.

I'm a registered republican. Understand, democratic primaries where I live are almost for nothing. You're selecting your candidate when you vote in a republican primary. We're talking all local and state races.

I'll vote for Biden...I would have voted for Sanders even though I think his agenda would get nowhere.

Just because Republicans are behaving in a totally cynical manner doesn't mean Democrats are doing the same thing. The fundamental difference between the parties is that Democrats see government as a tool to make our lives better. Republicans think the only thing the government should do is protect the property of the rich, e.g., police, armed forces to protect their overseas "colonies", courts to enforce their contracts. They couldn't care less about the General Welfare. They do not believe in "all [people] are created equal" or "one man one vote". They do not believe in democracy and they do not believe in "personal freedom" for anyone but white male gun owners. But they do believe in restricting the rights of anyone who doesn't look like them and doesn't believe as they do.

That brush you are painting with is broader than the side of a house.

Yawn.

What, you think there's going to be a signed letter from Trump explicitly stating that that's what they're doing?

How are you so old yet so childishly naive?
