She's looking over her shoulder now that those nutcases were busted who were going to kidnap her.


That's an adorably story - even if it is completely off topic and has nothing, whatever, to do with my post.

Feel better?

Democrats don't follow the rules and Biden will do everything in his power to get around them. Nice try though.

My take is that those who oppose Trump because of Covid do so because of his denial for political gain.

The political rallies are for Trump’s benefit. He needs to feel the love of his base who will vote for him no matter what. What better way to show your love than to attend a rally where you will be packed like sardines with other like- minded people and in doing so, put your life and the lives of your family at greater risk of infection.

The current surge of infections and hospitalizations is attributed to social / family gatherings.



And yet somehow the virus knows to be politically correct and avoid protests, riots and large indoor funerals for Congressional Democrats and memorials for RBG.

My life, and those of millions of others, was reduced to a once weekly run to the grocery store and a daily walk. Millions of people saw their livelihoods evaporate, and millions others suffered from an increase of domestic abuse, suicide, drug overdoses, and the results of skipping routine medical screenings.

*If I have to tell my elderly mother that she needs to remain inside her apartment (it’s already been 8 months) and we cannot see each other AGAIN, that will be the end of her. She’s already declined tremendously.
I am sorry to hear that, Rachel.

The "rules" you're referring to are laws and Dems have no choice re: following them, just like Repubs.

No that's not what SHE meant at all. In order for somebody to finish something, that means somebody have to start it. BLM is not even a drop in the bucket in a huge country, it's the leadership at the top.

The Devil is in the details.

What did Trump actually do when he declared an emergency?

Declare a national mask mandate?

Anything even remotely dictator like?

No, he used emergency powers to provide funding and bypass red tape to speed up response time to the virus.


But don't let little details like that affect your TDS.

I agree. This worries me and I don't understand why people could vote for Biden, even if that's just how much they hate Trump. They are only hurting themselves.

With Trump we are being taken care of even better than if Biden were leading. In fact the only thing Biden has to offer different than Trump is lock down. Anything else, Trump has already done. Biden has no cure. Biden has no magic wand.

The left are screaming and yelling right now about Covid 19 to brainwash us to think the world is coming to an end and we're going to have a dark winter and the world is coming to an end. After the election is decided. all that yelling will stop. It's election time and only reason why dems are shouting doom and gloom. Don't fall for it.

Biden speeches, if you can even call them that, are all about Covid 19 and what an awful job Trump is doing. Trump is doing an awesome job and the vaccine will be here soon. Again, Biden has not much to speak about. Covid is all he has and he's beating it to a pulp with no substance. Not a thing Biden can do to protect us. If you're scared then stay in your house 24 hours a day with a mask but I choose to live my life.

The economy is doing GREAT right now. Trump is saving us. Just think if Biden were our president, God forbid, and how we'd be doing right now. It's really scary.

Almost a million people filed for unemployment benefits this week.
Boeing just announced that they are going to lay-off 7000 workers, Disney World, 700.

This is “saving us?”
