Least exciting “read the quote” when you’re misquoting the key bit.

At some point there would be a reckoning for Republicans. Just didn’t picture it being this beautiful.Headhunter wrote:The list of things Republicans used to stamp their feet about and now don’t care about at all since Trump was elected is endless.
I think you’ll find “states’ rights” was mostly a deflection to excuse awful shit the whole time.
I don't believe you ever have, my good man. You're one of the rare ones with opposite views who I can jab with in politics anymore and not be hated. This is the shitshow I was referring to. There's no "agree to disagree" anymore. It's "my opinion is superior, and you're wrong".Jmac Attack wrote:Wtf? I havent seen Colbert since like 2013. Maybe one or two of his new gig. I listen to 700WLW which is a huge conservative station. Only guy I like on CNN is Jake Tapper. And I haven't seen any of his shows for probably a year. What the hell does that have to do with now? Yeah....I watched CNN on election day. You did too. Where have I ever disrespected you mang?Jason wrote:It's clearly the quote that matters, as the one J-Mac provided was taken out of context. He's clearly been watching CNN and Stephen Colbert.zombie wrote:don't pretend that is the only thing he's said on the subject. maybe he's trying to clarify himself after something else he also said. but that particular quote you gave seems fair, if that's the only thing he had ever said regarding this.Jason wrote:Just reading his quote is all that needs to be done. Neither of them did, obviously. Do you have a thought on his actual quote that you want to address? Or are you just indifferent? I thought it was a perfectly ok thing to say.zombie wrote:i do not know the context around it, but trump did say that his "authority is total". that may be where jmac and seb are coming from, but again i don't know the context really.
There is more clarity in Trump's actual quote than in ANY of the third party outlets that spin it in the way they want you to see it. This is fake news.
Who has said they liked Pelosi? The top 3 wealthiest Congressmen are Republicans. She is 23rd. She's rich as fuck. Most of them are. This is wiki but this was done by Roll Call. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of ... _by_wealthJason wrote:"Nothing matters to Trump but his wealth!"
He lost 66% if net worth since he began running for president, knowing full well his bank account would take a huge dive. Nonsense. Somebody explain to me how Nancy Pelosi is worth hundreds of millions of dollars despite never having a job in her life. Who's in it for the wealth again?
Did ya read my links? Good stuff in there.Tiggnutz wrote:2 weeks before on the 14th the W.H.O. said there were no signs of transmission between humans which is beyond ridiculous and they had already been warned of human to human transmission by Taiwan but ignored it. They called it a pandemic after CNN called it a pandemic. They are a joke and did everything exactly how China wanted them to do it. I wouldn't send another cent until they were thoroughly investigated. Trump fucked things up as well but he is not the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION who's main purpose is dealing with things like this.

It is just weird to me that people think Trump is in it for even more money when he lost MOST of his net worth when he ran for president.Jmac Attack wrote:Who has said they liked Pelosi?

The WHO declared a public health emergency on 1/30/2020 and offered mitigation advice. The US Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency on 1/31/2020 following the WHO's lead and Trump announced his travel restrictions for travelers from China the same day to take effect on 2/2/2020.
This is what the WHO says about travel restrictions-

And now he is defunding WHO. They said what would happen. Here is more. This is what WHO recommended on 1-31-20-
https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/30 ... ronavirus-(2019-ncov
So the strategies we finally started to implement in mid-March which are slowing the spread and flattening the curve were recommended by the WHO in January. And we are still only half ass doing this stuff because testing is still a major problem. If you can't test that makes surveillance, detection, isolation, case management, contact tracing, and prevention of spread much more difficult or even impossible. But 'Merica!
well with that in mind, maybe climate change wouldn't be such a bad thing afterall?Jason wrote:Also, Trump beginning the press meeting with a video montage of the fake news media being scum and incorrect (as usual) is the stuff of legends. He won't be my GOAT President, but he is the perfect candidate for the current political climate.
The reporter who questioned him was right. The movie he showed has a massive hole where all his inaction and inability to lead waszombie wrote:well with that in mind, maybe climate change wouldn't be such a bad thing afterall?Jason wrote:Also, Trump beginning the press meeting with a video montage of the fake news media being scum and incorrect (as usual) is the stuff of legends.
