youre talking about smoke alarms and fire extinguishers, the smoke alarms were all the warnings from experts for months that Trump ignored. Fuck even Biden made a video back in January trying to explain that taking the virus seriously was the best thing that Trump could do to benefit Trump! Think of how high Trumps approval ratings would be if he had showed some leadership and assigned individuals to lead task forces to help plan out logistics of getting tests and PPE rolled out to places that needed it. Instead he made states compete with each other to get what they needed while at the same time criticized and politically attacked leaders of some states struggling to manage the disaster that he ignored and by his own words takes no responsibility for

as for the fire extinguisher the obama administration literally put together a task force to research and prepare for pandemics after they had dealt with Ebola, with the specific purpose of preparing for potential threatening diseases from certain places in Africa and China, specifically, which Trump promptly disbanded after taking office for no other reason than because Obama did it

so sorry for changing the subject there on you

Shit happens.

ok but when it started as a kitchen fire on the stove and the whole house burned down Im not gonna be too happy with the guy who was supposed to be watching the kitchen for fires and insisted there was no fire while the fire slowly spread from room to room

Thats a horrible analogy. You shouldve prepared for this situation yourself by investing in smoke alarms and fire extinguishers and done more to prevent the fire in the first place, instead of expecting a guy with much more in his plate to be watching your ass as well.

How are you going to try to "both sides" the pandemic? It's basically all due to Republicans being dumbfucks.

Plenty of dumbfuck Democrats, Independents, and other-partied people out there that fucked up as well.

Because Trump isnt the sole reason for this pandemics continuation in the USA. Theres a host of factors that result from both sides, be it misinformation, poor judgement, arrogance, and just a much larger population and larger country than most other countries in the world that are back to normal. Yes, Trump may have added to the fire, but hes not the cause for the fire.

yall need to chill.

Tell that to the 840,000+ people who died of it in less than a year, which is more than the Holocaust's death rate.

People die. That's a fact of life. You're born, you live, you die. It's unfortunate that this pandemic has killed so many people across the world, but that's the point of a disease - to infect the host. Whether or not they die is up to their body.

You, however, have the choice to kill these people. Unlike Covid-19, you know the consequences of killing these people. Covid-19 doesn't know the consequences. It just acts without conscience.

It's really just focused on a couple of cities filled with weirdos.
Haven't seen any people with pitchforks outside of my home and don't plan on seeing any, ever.

This. A handful of cities != all cities.

No. Killing people regardless of their actions is wrong. You are not the judge, jury, and executioner.

Pool. No need to worry about brain-eating amoebas potentially swimming up your nose and into your brain while you're splashing around in lakes or rivers. No need to drive hours to the ocean and worry about the tide going in and out, and taking you with it (can't explain that).

Just lounge around in a chlorinated pool on a floaty, with sunglasses, sunscreen, and a tall glass of your favorite beverage.

21 Soda.

Nope. I brush and floss at least three times a day, use mouthwash, and see a dentist twice a year. My gums are in great shape.

But do you own a firearm (or preferably several)?

The real question is how much ammunition do they have. You can have a boatload of guns, but if you don't have ammunition to replenish, those guns will only be good for melee.

If there was a civil war, BLM wouldn't be a side. The movement isn't big enough or devoted enough to go to war, even if a disturbing number of participants advocate the use of violence (or outright use violence) to silence critics. America's civil war, just like its revolutionary war, was led by government leaders who could mobilize substantial numbers of the general population. We're not terribly likely to ever see those conditions again.

Now one of the recurring themes brought up by shitlords is the prospect that there's a "concern" that a president won't step down at the end of their last term (which was said about GWB, Obama, and Trump). However, even in that kind of an instance, the president isn't going to have the kind of pull to actually make that work. The only way an elected leader can stay in power is if they have the complete support of the military and enough politicians willing to go along with it to intimidate the rest.

Spot-on, as usual. No matter who wins in November, there will just be a lot of dispute, ballot-recounting, rage, and disappointment, not to mention possible loss of stock value.

The unfortunate thing about this scenario is how many families and friendships would be broken-up, not to mention record unemployment, doxxing, looting, assaults, and just overall chaos. You think things are bad now, with riots in a few cities, or were bad at the start of the pandemic with the riots and looting? This would be catastrophic.

Lots of great points in this video.

It depends on the circumstances and events that led to this modern civil war.

Assuming that its for reasons involving the upcoming election and the winning candidate, I'd be on the side of Donald Trump, the current president. Biden winning would not be the best choice for America, as a country.

How about a character that's already in the MCU.

Like Daniel Kaluuya.


I mean his character is part of a noble Wakanda family so he would have legitimately to the throne. Also it'd be cool to establish a new character as the new Black Panther while showing respect to Chadwick. You know instead of just replacing him and pretending its the same character. The fact that he's a great actor is also a bonus.

This. Continue the story of the Black Panther being passed down through the royal family - instead of recasting.

Biden trolls hard

I doubt Biden did this. Its likely from the DNC. Biden just seems too out of touch to be able to pull something like this off.

Holy shit. damn. Rest easy T'Challa.

At least a year.

Dont they already automatically do that? Im pretty sure I got one without asking for it...

Not usually. You have to submit paperwork to prove youre a legal resident.

Ouch. You might as well look into upgrading your license to a Real ID, if you havent already, as this is required to fly by October 2021.

Nice! Congratulations fellow human.

whered you go dude

you cant just disappear like when you called me racist the other day

Believe it or not, I dont spend every waking minute on PotD. Its also a free country so Im free to do whatever I want without obligation to reply to people trying to get a reaction or response from me.

I didnt call you racist. Most peoples negative response to the choice of actress for Triss was to her skin color. If that wasnt your reason for your comment, fine, I apologize for the accusation.

As to the questions and demands for explanation on my statement in this topic, I have no comment. Its my personal opinion as someone whose political stance is constantly evolving and changing. You can take that however you want. I really dont care.

If anyones going to put America back in the game, its Trump. Biden will sub America out for China.

I floss after every meal. I try to make a habit of flossing every time I eat, but that's a lot of floss waste.

WhiskeyDisk posted...

i guess we'd all be better off still living under the constant threat of nuclear war...

Of course not. I'm just saying that there's other presidents to quote, other presidents that did great things.

JixHedgehog posted...

Did the President give his acceptance speech or is that later in the week?

Tomorrow.

Watching the RNC, I'm just sort of mystified why it's just quote after quote from Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan. Not to say that Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan aren't great, but there's other great presidents to quote. Presidents like Ulysses S. Grant, Chester A. Arthur, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, and George H. W. Bush.

Would just be refreshing to hear other quotes.

Anyone gonna rag on her for reading from a teleprompter?

Nope. If I was speaking to the country and world on a live broadcast during the week of my party's convention, I'd be reading from a rehearsed speech as well. I had a stutter growing up. Even now, thirty-years-old, I still have trouble speaking in public at the center of attention. I get panicky, become unfocused, and get gassy and sweaty. A prepared speech helps counter this.

who said anything about race being an issue

damn what were they thinking with that Triss casting

You did, and dont be coy about this not being a race comment. You know exactly what youre doing.

Mead posted...

I like the show but damn what were they thinking with that Triss casting

Oh no, Triss is black. Bad Netflix! /s

The characters in the books and games are predominantly white. Did you really expect Netflix just feature a mostly-white cast?

Don't care one way or the other. I've had that troll blocked for years.
