No, it’s not for the sake of hating him. It’s because of his actions, and long term, because of the person he is.

Nobody wants anyone to die, but people (especially the media) will use the dead to justify reasoning of disliking Trump. It's just true.

Re: Random Political Comments
I never said I was iffy about that. That's the one thing he did that I liked. I went out of my way to try to like him, but I never could. He was charismatic and easy to listen to, but a terrible leader of the country. It was never even him pulling strings, he was bought and owned. Just liked the guy before him.Jmac Attack wrote:......says the guy who said that the only thing he agreed with Obama on was Cuba and was still *iffy* about that.

I know you do. Trump gets all the credit but must be absolved of any and all responsibility. That’s your guys’ mantra. Just stop being bewildered that your conception of reality doesn’t match the majority of people’s.Jason wrote:You say his inaction killed thousands, I say his early action saved potentially millions.Headhunter wrote:Even though Trump’s inaction has killed thousands, notice I never say he WANTS them to die.

I blame the WHO and China for every single death that occurs. Every single one. We will just never agree here.

No wonder Jason can't sleep. This is a total gang rape now. Head went turncoat, Foo M.I.A, I never really helped for shit, but protected my right brothers. Now he has to fight you guys off from filling all holes. We gotta stop this.

Re: Random Political Comments
That's fair and I will take your word on it. I just dont think my criticism of Trump regarding the coronavirus is just because he is Trump. That's my point. Hell...he talked about expanding Medicaid and Medicare during all this, and I can say that I agree with him on that.Jason wrote:I never said I was iffy about that.

I mean, as far as you all have known me I was never really on your guys’ side. I was really in the D range of the spectrum. I always found half the things Jason and Foo said to be batshit. I did move to the left though.Reign in Blood wrote:No wonder Jason can't sleep. This is a total gang rape now.

I was a young Republican though. Around the same time, Foo was super far left. It is kinda funny.

Re: Random Political Comments
I have several legitimate grievances with Trump. I went in with the collective "wtf" when he announced he was running and didn't buy in for 10 months until June 2016 when I decided I was gonna vote for him. Problem is, people hated him from the get-go and there was no changing some people's minds. No matter how many great things he does.Headhunter wrote:I know you do.

I blame the WHO and China for every single death that occurs. Every single one. We will just never agree here.
Bare in mind, I am 50/50 on how to approach this. There is no right or wrong answer and still nobody addressed the two scenarios China gave us:
1) let it burn through quicker and become obsolete, but hospitals are overrun, resulting in more deaths in a shorter period of time.
2) Quarantine, slow the curve, further damage the world economy and increase the risk of this disease becoming endemic when we aren't expected to have a vaccine for at least one or two years, likely resulting in far more deaths long term than option one.
You can't blame Trump for having to choose between two options that were inevitable because of China and the WHO's corruption and ineptitude. Blame should be universally agreed upon here. China and the WHO are responsible for every single death that occurs. It is estimated that 95% of this entire pandemic could've been prevented if China was honest about it. But they weren't. They are responsible and it is inarguable. We can discuss all day on what types of measures we go with from here, but the sole blame for this pandemic is China and the WHO. Nobody else.

Re: Random Political Comments
i understand that feeling. don't take criticism of a politician, as criticism of you. and don't jump to doing the same things that you feel are being done to you, all the time? call out the problem, but try not to do it yourself too.Jason wrote:Reign in Blood wrote:No wonder Jason can't sleep.

Re: Random Political Comments
We can absolutely blame Trump for doing nothing productive for six weeks. We can also acknowledge China’s role in this while noting that focusing on them is pointless now that it’s everywhere and every government has to be accountable for their response. It’s throwing down the hose to beat up the arson. It’s Churchill bitching about Chamberlain while bombs drop on London. I’m worried about how the Trump adminstration’s incompetence made everything worse, because that was preventable.Jason wrote:I have several legitimate grievances with Trump.

we can blame china, and rightfully so. but it is like with illegal immigrants, or muslim terrorists. everyone that resembles them starts to get the stink eye. so be careful about it. and understand that it doesn't serve to actually solve anything, especially on your end as just a citizen with a gripe.
