Earth to Uncle Joe: You can't fight fantasy.
As long as one side gets to just make stuff up out of thin air, there's no way to win the war of ideas.

He prayed and the People were glad.
As They should be.

Meanwhile a certain orange golf cheat is using his foot wedge to get his ball away from a tree, while complaining about electoral theft and suburban women...

I'm thankful we won't see Trump still living in the crazed heads here 24/7.
Oh wait..

If only he were only living in crazed heads instead of destroying society

Liberals have been destroying society since the 60's..

All you have to do is look to today...

No family gatherings, the nuclear family unit, the traditional family, liberals have been trying to break up since day one. They were successful in the black community, not they are going after everyone else.

Covid is just an opportunity to them.

Incorrect. Encouraging a secular progressive society is not destroying society. Demolishing the middle class with tax breaks for the rich (thanks Reagan!), on the other hand...

Boaz,

"Covid is just an opportunity to them."

To move America one step closer to full government oversight, control and dependency.

They are like children following the Pied Piper....or the Pelosi Piper.

You gotta wonder who he's addressing.

Democrats are broke badly into camps and right now they're eating their own.

Explain to me why "Provide for the Common Defense" doesn't apply to viruses.

God effing damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're in a deadly pandemic. It requires the government to curtail certain activities and behavior modifications to slow its spread. You're crazy BillJohnson.

The best indicator of "conservative" stupidity is the fact that with 4% of the world's population we have 20%+ of the world's cases and deaths. What's the "conservative" explanation for that?

I saw my daughter and grandkids last night (they live about 100 miles away) and will be having dinner with my stepdaughter's fam today. That's about as nuclear as it gets. We know how to stay safe, we wear masks, we don't pack ourselves into an airplane hangar to worship a false idol. I love the terrified little con-jobs who pretend the sky is falling when actually they're standing on their heads.

It appears that Trump has recycled last years Thanksgiving message, or else he's totally written off the American people as this is what he told us to do:

"I encourage all Americans to gather, in homes and places of worship, to offer a prayer of thanks to God for our many blessings."

Which is exactly the opposite of what every doctor and scientist, to say nothing of the CDC, has been telling us for weeks.

Boaz and BJ are just the latest, most obvious, example of how Pubs are just bat-sh** crazy and unity with them for the betterment of us all will be plain impossible.

The 1960s?

The Civil Rights movement destroyed society?

Racist white conservative society perhaps.

@#11 ... Democrats are broke badly into camps and right now they're eating their own. ...

I see dissenting opinions within the Democratic Party as A Good Thing.

It is not like the Republican Party where there is only one opinion allowed, that of Pres Trump.

Boaz. Are you only here to troll?

I ask because. If I'm to treat you like an intelligent human being. I need you to act like one. Nothing of what you wrote has any truth to it. It reads like you've had zero interaction with any liberals in the real world and are basing all your hate on someone else's deceptive descriptions.

If you're just here to troll. So be it. But if you're here in hopes of anyone taking you seriously. You need to live in the real world. Not this uninformed, bigoted place you're coming from.

Covid is just an opportunity to them.

"No family gatherings"

Our family just gathered on zoom; we couldn't be together this year because our outgoing President knew it was serious, but chose to mislead the public because he believed that would get him re-elected.

Boaz ideas on what constitute a "Liberal" is about as spot on as everything else this dipsmack says.

If he wants a war, he'll get his war.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving, peace and love to all.

'We're at War with the Virus, not with One Another'

Just as with the Obama admin: Biden is going to squander his time trying to get republicans on board with his agenda. It just ain't going to happen. The bigotry and greed of the Trump/republican base takes precedent over everything.

If Biden was such good buddies with republican senators, why couldn't he bring them along when he was Obama's VP?

We're at war with the virus?

That may be a bit dramatic.

Maybe like the war on drugs? The war on poverty?

Trumpy has them "----- Spurs" didn't you know?? He won't be participating in any of your "wars".

Especially a war on a made up hoax that will disappear like magic as soon as it gets warm (or cold?) anyway.

Trumpy don't do "wars".

But. Thanks for asking.

Is that where they buy poor people plane tickets to Honduras, so they can live like kings?

Or is that the trillion dollar tax cut Trump gave himself and handed to the poor and middle class to pay off?

Madbum talking about poverty is like Trumptards talking about integrity.

It's a nice, albeit--I'm afraid--naive
sentiment to hold now-a-days. It sounds
presidential, but sadly, America is torn down the middle, and because the Right won't budge,
and won't put down the fake news rightwing
thought bubble, it is a problem I do not see going away any time soon.
