Trump was in a really tough spot because if he did not lockdown and cases/deaths skyrocketed he was losing the election. Hindsight 20/20, he and his people were not smart enough to see what the Dems were going to do with the lockdowns and usher in the mail in ballot fraud that kicked him out of office anyway. The long term damage the lockdowns and stimulus money has done to this country outweighs the deaths that would have occurred. Nobody wants people to die but the damage that has been done is completely wrecking this country at a pace not many of us anticipated.

There were many discussions/theories/intelligence in the past on China being up to something and a virus being in the works. With everything Trump was doing to China he should have saw something coming and been better prepared for it but again it’s easy to say all of this after the fact. Dealing with extremely evil and ruthless people who will do anything for power is what Trump had to deal with on a 24/7 basis. His head had to be spinning at that point in time.
Problem is as he tried to stop some of the problems going on he was ostracized and met stiff resistance not only from dims but rhinos too. The swamp is big and he did not have enough support.

Media was spinning against him regardless of what he did. So he should've just done the right thing which was kick Fauci to the curb and open up
 
Well now Trump has to settle the Cohen / Stormy Daniels suit or he will be deposed. He has admitted to knowledge of the payment and has no ground to stand on anymore in trying to be kept out of the suit. His strategy before now was do and say anything to stay out of a deposition and Giuliani has blown that up.

I’m not bothering myself with reading your list. However, let’s concede that pedophilia / pedarasty is a human and moral failing that is not confined to one’s political convictions.

This perfectly illustrates the difference between Dems and Repubs.

Fortenberry (a Repub) gets convicted, and Repubs call for their own to resign.

If he was a Dem, NO CHANCE the other Dems would call for his resignation.

Thank you for getting the point and you are exactly right. The pedo stuff is unnecessary and devolves the political discussion. We have profound serious difference of consequence on matters both domestically and internationally for us to disagree on and discuss so why dumb it down into such ugly gutter trash? I don't understand the "fun" in showing up here every day to wade through that utter nonsense that Gassy seems obsessed with. I hope that milf of his doesn't have a young daughter because his obsession on pedos reeks of projection.
 
Irrespective of who is committing the crimes against children, there is one political group that seems interested in normalizing the behavior, and that, to me, is perhaps the most disturbing trend of all.
This. This normalizing is on ONE side of the aisle. And that attitude is running/ruining them.

And WRT the lists ... one is the party leadership and one is a bunch of unknowns (except for 2 ... one WAS a Dimbo when he did all the bad things and the 2nd was forced to resign). Guess which party has a list of leaders/pedos? (Both parties suck, but one is evil.)

That's ludicrous but it makes life simple for you. No matter what Republicans do it is okay because the other side supports pedos.

It's why we don't have decent healthcare from birth to death and as a result you may lose everything you've worked your whole life for if you or your wife gets sick in retirement.

It's why we can't have a good discussion on Trump foreign policy, because I think there is some room there to give the man credit for rethinking American foreign policy.

It's why our middle class is eviscerated and the rich pile on because of the effectiveness of separating people by class then fueling hatred on socially divisive issues to keep them from realizing the profound unfairness of our taxation and the Gov handouts to those that are already rich while handing the country over to corporate control.

We have serious issues that directly impact the most import aspects of our lives yet we have drawn the battle lines along trans people, pedos running pizza parlors, and all the other foolish distractions used to keep you from getting at those real issues they are afraid of all of us coming to an agreement on.

It's far worse than conservatives and most people realize.

I have a friend whose son is a public school teacher in the Florida school system. He hates DeSantis for speaking out against removing classical books like "To Kill A Mockingbird" and wants to include "Gender Queer" in it's place. You guessed it, he is a homosexual.

If people like him are not stopped the schools will continue to go down as more and more parents pull their kids out. DeSantis understands and is doing something about it.

You absolutely disregard what I said and then tried to say I said something I didn’t.

You should be ashamed of yourself but I am sure you lack the capacity for shame.

"one political group"... as in the Democratic Party. Think about that statement a minute. You are saying the Democratic Party is interested in normalizing pedophilia. But I am the troll here? I should be ashamed of myself but I am lacking in the capacity for shame?

Republicans are so consumed with shame over where you allowed Trump to lead a large segment of the Republican Party to, upto and including attacking your own country, that you feel compelled to soothe yourselves with these wild stories about pedophiles running rampant in pizza parlors and the other abject nonsense you traffic in daily while the world burns around you in real issues you should be confronting.

But hey, you're the good guys. LMAO.

one side normalized pedophilia hundreds of years ago. It was the religious right. They just used religion as an excuse for abusing girls through child marriages. And they still do it now.

It was a completely new virus with NO natural immunity built up by anyone.... regardless of whether man made or natural.
The lockdowns saved thousands of lives while that period of time gave science a chance to develop theraputics and vaccines to fight it.
The mail in ballots were a logical response to a world wide pandemic. They were counted just like any other vote as well as audited multiple times.
Watching the far right parrot Fox News and Trump about losing the election is exactly like watching Russians in Red Square argue that Putin is fighting Nazis in Ukraine.
The rest of the world alternates between pity and laughter at the ignorance.

It wasn't just saving the lives, to me the biggest immediate thing when the virus hit was the complete inundation of our hospital system/beds. A simple mathematical calculation based on worldwide hospitalization rates had every hospital bed in the United States full by something like May 15th if we didn't act immediately and decisively to shut things down until we knew what we were looking at and had a little better idea of how to handle it otherwise the entire hospital system collapses and people are not just dying of COVID, they're dying of everything for lack of treatment.

Of all the people taking a stand for children ... none are Dems ... none are liberals. This isn't the ONLY dividing line, but the left is now seriously impacting others, including children, with their lunacy.

But some on here still defend the left or will not speak out against the pedos.
