POLITICAL THREAD

[the nail at the foul line]

Gillum is a hero for going to Rehab.

Cheats on wife.
Is LGBTQWXYZ.
A minority.
Drug addict.

2024 Presidential candidate that Levi can get behind.

Uh...

 

[Mashburned]

I can't listen to anymore political bs. The effect of this stupid flu is miniscule compared to the panic and economic collapse. It is absolutely irresponsible to close down shit and scare the people like this.

WE MUST PROTECT YOU. BOW TO US. WE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO SAVE YOU.

 

[Mashburned]

Gillum is a hero for going to Rehab.

Another democrat having a gay meth party. Classic.

 

[BBUK]

Best part of last nights debate was Joe Biden saying he refrains from touching his face, forgetting that 10 seconds earlier he touched his face saying he was knocking on wood.

Ole Pandering Bantering Joe (PB&J)...anything to sound like he's a regular Joe...but when he tries it. He fails...

 

[Mashburned]

REMAIN CALM. FOCUS ON MENTAL HEALTH. WE ARE SHUTTING DOWN EVERYTHING.

Thanks, Gov.

 

[AustinTXCat]

That’d be s BIG false on that theory . . . through Darwinism, the tRump herd will be thinned. Too stupid to heed CDC and WHO statements recommending self-quarantine and social distancing, their contraction rate and subsequent death rate will be higher than those intelligent enough to take the recommended common sense precautions. It’ll be a natural thinning of sorts, taking out many more blue hairs, which are typically tRumpers. Come November, it’ll have an overall net negative impact on tRumps re-election chances.

I can't stop watching this

You should be thankful every day you aren't called to war. I'm sure you're socialist a$$ would be in the corner of the room in a fetal position.

Well that's just your imagination which hopefully will never be tested, but if your assessment actually came to past, that would be more Christian of me than if I were to rape children and gun down unarmed and scared people's in their own country who never attacked me. Would't you agree?

 

[Levibooty]

Thy shalt not kill. Unless of course the politicians who I voted for tell me to! Then I am relieved of any moral responsibility for any act or hedonistic glory I ascribe to myself in my ethical character for doing such.

What a earth shattering journey to the center of what all those religious types like to think of as the soul. Of course the person lying dead in the mud so that wealthy men could enrich themselves even more may think of it as the abyss. Just a thought.

DOW opens down over 2,000 points. tRump’s strong arming the Fed is backfiring BIGLY. Interest rates have nowhere to go but negative in a prolonged down economy. His attempts at keeping the market artificially inflated through QE heading into November elections for his political gain have economically hung us out to dry. The Fed is short on bullets thanks to giving into Orangeman.

This has moved beyond politics. Everyone should support the President now. There is no economic “gameplan” for events like this. We are all in this together.

Uh for transparencies sake; The DOW is down to 20,415.79 as I type and Your savior former President Obama's DOW peaked at about 18,500.00 give or take a few points...

Just for clarifying's sake... I mean your savior President Obama being the same type leader as President Trump and all. Even though President Trump does carry his magic wand...

BUT, don't let "current" truth get in the way of history...

Wow, youre a special kind of stupid. Our servicemen and women are not running around the world raping children and gunning down innocent people. I understand that's what you tell yourself to make yourself feel better about being a POS coward, but our people do amazing things around the world on a daily basis you'll never see on the MSM. I already knew you were a special kind of stupid, but now I know you're just a horrible person.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Though...my girlfriends 20 year old, political junkie Bernie Bro, College student son even admitted the other day that we would be better off keeping Trump as president in November after all of this, just to maintain some status quo that people need. Trying to radically alter the government after this would be a mistake. Though he did watch that debate last night with baited breath hoping "That the 2 hours is long enough to show just how senile Joe Biden is" his words. He really wanted a good showing by Bernie.

The problem with that is that if the shoe were on the other foot, were this 4 yrs ago and Obama was in office, or was a year from today and Biden was in office the attacks from Trump and his lackeys would be relentless. We had a good 10+ yr run and for the last 3 Trump has tried to take ALL the credit. As a wise man once said, Karma is a bitch.
If you really expect that the same people this clown has s#it on for 3 yrs are going to somehow now get behind him you’re out of your f’ing mind.
When you make it all about you when it’s good then you shouldn’t be surprised when “it’s all about you” when things get tough.

I can't wait for the story to become "With help from China and Russia, Trump admin and Fox New whipped the country into a frenzy to hurt DNC and voter turn out..."

For someone always screaming whataboutism, you sure do turn to them in a hurry. But since you did:

Obama references himself 467 times in one speech

https://apnews.com/fae0fd059feb5db82d56cca8e0bbdda3

Obama took credit for everything under the sun good that happened and continues to. His ego is as big as Trump’s but you choose to ignore that. It’s no different.

I didn’t like Obama, but if this happened under his presidency and his administration they’d have my support (unless they decided open borders were more important or something like that).

Btw, shouldn’t you be thrilled? You were rooting for an economic collapse. Congrats. Looks like you’re going to get it.

 

[P19978]

First time poster on the Paddock. Why is everything so political these days? I know it's because of forums like this. I'm not saying everyone getting a say is a bad thing. I believe in several things in my life! Kentucky basketball, Kentucky football, freedom of religion, free speech, my rights to own as many guns I want, and most importantly me being an American and standing up for my country, my family, my neighbors in a time of need! I say let us all let this play out before forming an opinion on how this life changing event is handled.

You are a brave soul for wading in at this point in history lol.

Trading on wall street should be suspended for a few weeks IMO. They are losing their damn minds over there. Close it and let things calm down then re open it in 2 or 3 weeks.

There was a situation like this Arnold, the H1N1 pandemic.
Do you remember the level of handwringing and outright fearmongering from the media?
Trump has acted far quicker than Obama did, and I’m not faulting Obama.

Oops, I should have stated 18,500.00 It was a typo, I will correct it. I used this; "Dow goes from 18,589 on November 9, 2016"...

That speech occurred in 2019. Never did he do so as POTUS. He also gave credit to others and accepted responsibility for failures. He was attacked relentlessly by his opponents and never did he strike out with juvenile name calling. He didn’t make personal attacks on McConnell when he wouldn’t give his SCOTUS nominee a hearing.

Today he isn’t tweeting about Trump playing golf in the midst of a crisis or the millions in tax dollars being spent to fly Trump to his properties.

One man acts like an adult, the other like a spoiled child.

 

[truebluewildcat]

Anybody else seeing that all the yuppies are who's panicking, raiding the big box stores like Ghengis Khan, and hiding like doomsday preppers while all the old farts who have been through Nam, Korea, cold war, desert storm, aids, recessions, etc are like "what's this all about?" and basically going on with their daily lives?

Are you really saying Obama didn’t constantly reference himself in speeches when he was President?

But mass QE was ok under Obama, right? Have you no shame?

Got that right. I own 2 food stocks, General Mills (GIS) and B&G Foods (BGS). Both are seemingly bullet-proof in this current market. Not so much with my other holdings.

At this point in Obama’s presidency the Dow was up 65.1%, Trump was at 5.4% as of Friday. With the exception of the first 3 months the return on the Obama market has been greater than the Trump market. Trying to say that the market is still numerically higher, thus better is asinine. If I invested $100,000 at the beginning of each term I would have significantly more under the Obama market.

 

[Brandan Stroud]

Just for the record, there are people who are claiming to be sensible Americans who want to get rid of Trump to return to "decency" and "normalcy" who literally want the economy to tank and people to die.

This goes beyond message board banter. You people need serious help.

You make a great point and isn't it ironic this seems to be a virus that is not that adverse to the young. It hits the old people hardest and they seem to be handling it the best. Sign of a mentally weak generation of youth. Maybe?
