Rattler

If you're not capable of keeping a civil tongue in a debate, you shouldn't be debating. Foul language and personal attacks only prove you have nothing of substance to add to the conversation about the subject being debated. It's childish and crude. If you support such an individual, you don't understand the problem either. Saying an elected official should be hung is an opinion that can be defended if the elected hack has violated the public trust. We used to do that in the past. If you don't think it applies, make your case against it with facts, not emotion.

This is about the virus and the govts handling of it. If we are going to banish things like that to the political arena, we need to put the entire Corona Virus thread there too, no?

This is a great video that also talks to the lies were are being fed.

A lot of people are forming opinions about the President based on lies. Ask yourself why these lies are being told and who is telling them. If you can think for yourself, you can easily see how they are trying to manipulate public opinion and are having quite a bit of success doing it. https://pjmedia.com/trending/the-top-10-lies-about-president-trumps-response-to-the-coronavirus/?fbclid=IwAR1pNvsy34V31LCNz6atkfzeHYycom9wk9RAdBW4bW-FwIphQ2yGUSyW5hk

An article by Star Parker shines light on the current virus situation and how American freedom is important to solving it. Several months ago, before anyone imagined the current crisis, I read a book called “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl. Frankl was a Jewish Viennese psychiatrist who was captured by the Nazis during World War II and managed to survive four concentration camps, including the infamous Auschwitz and Dachau. He went through the ordeal observing human behavior, and the result was his formulation of a system of therapy he called logotherapy. Frankl found that those who were most successful, surviving under the most challenging circumstances, were those who retained a sense of meaning in their lives. That is, the real challenge that every person faces is not what’s happening outside of themselves but what’s happening inside. In these trying times, we must turn to the greatest document in the history of the world to promise freedom and opportunity to its citizens for guidance. Find out more now >> In Frankl’s own words: “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” He continued: “Freedom is but the negative aspect of the whole phenomenon whose positive aspect is responsibleness. In fact, freedom is in danger of degenerating into mere arbitrariness unless it is lived in terms of responsibleness.” With all our talk about freedom, somehow its essence has gotten lost: human beings taking responsibility for their own life and the world around them. Human beings are causes, not results. They are free agents, not victims. I can’t think of a more important message as we face these great challenges today as a nation and as individuals. The whole idea of America was, and hopefully still is, freedom, which means America must be about individuals taking responsibility. The country now faces two huge areas of uncertainty and lack of clarity. One is regarding the nature of the health threat we are dealing with. I am still reading different opinions from knowledgeable sources about how lethal this virus is and the best way to stop it without totally shutting down and destroying our economy. Second, we’re suffering great absence of clarity in government regarding who is responsible for what. Times of uncertainty are times, in the spirit of Viktor Frankl, for individuals to step up and take responsibility. But, unfortunately, we’re getting the opposite. It’s obscene that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who held up the emergency stimulus bill to insert left-wing nonsense, accused President Donald Trump of fiddling while “people are dying.” Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer complained to the press, “We’re not getting what we need from the federal government.” But this isn’t new. Back in February, Whitmer delivered the Democrats’ response to Trump’s State of the Union address and went on for her full 10 minutes about the federal government not doing enough. She touted her efforts to expand health coverage under the Affordable Care Act, meaning more bureaucratization of our hospitals and health care delivery, and creation of government health care incapable of flexibility to changing market realities, let alone dealing with a crisis. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is taking deserved heat for his delayed action in response to the crisis in his city. Weeks ago, he was on television talking about how this crisis could only be addressed by the federal government. This is all the result of generations degrading the clear constitutional lines between the federal government and the states, resulting in massive growth of the welfare state. But while Democratic governors and mayors and Pelosi use valuable time looking for who to blame, America’s private business is already churning to develop better and faster testing procedures, and soon we’ll see a drug to eradicate COVID-19. Small and large businesses are deploying resources in new and creative ways that will pay great dividends when we emerge from this crisis. Challenges are met by free, responsible people stepping into the void: exactly what Frankl was talking about. COPYRIGHT 2020 CREATORS.COM

By popular request: How many people died during the Great Depression? 7 million people

I did not know about it until Jan 2020, just like the majority of the population. That's when people started asking how did this happen? All info pointed to Obama. That's probably when Trump was informed what happened too. I'm sure he wasn't too happy to have that problem dropped in his lap after it had become a huge issue.

Do any of you have any idea how many people the Great Depression killed?

It's a family site Paul. Profanity is verboten.

Someone must've thrown the forum rule book in the trash.

And your's don't say anything about economic turmoil? Why would they not address it? It's obvious. Or maybe they want it to happen? Ever think about that? Take your pick. https://dailycaller.com/2020/04/03/wall-the-path-forward-from-coronavirus-a-tale-of-two-crises/?fbclid=IwAR2mMYaJQqLvsDnWj_YRNRcXjMWh1vPCSZjpnMaMK39TgV5uLwoJJfl09Uw https://www.westernjournal.com/poll-large-number-small-businesses-brink-permanent-closure-coronavirus-shutdown-takes-toll/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=westernjournalism&utm_content=2020-04-03&utm_campaign=manualpost&fbclid=IwAR2SwC1p9gtsov8ufmNafP8SX9cmrTI4ATl1K5g7eptRLxxIG4LhvfmtBFo https://www.heritage.org/debt/commentary/americas-dual-nightmare-coronavirus-and-massive-debt?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=thf-fb&fbclid=IwAR3KKbCLDQTpaJ7k46KPB00n2Ln2wwf3I3DnElr__1fR0PDMt5q265QkERY https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-24/euro-zone-economy-crashes-on-coronavirus-business-shutdowns https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/mar/23/coronavirus-crisis-approaches-health-vs-economy-ti/ https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/mar/18/coronavirus-infects-us-economy-millions-face-finan/ https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/mar/25/coronavirus-stimulus-wont-stop-recession-economist/

Refuse? Ok. I've posted a couple of sources on this subject in other threads. You must have missed them, or refused to read them. Google your own info. There's plenty of info from many sources on the subject and they all say the same thing. Take your pick. If you have never studied the Great Depression in America, you do not have any idea how bad a situation like that can be.

Currently something like 98% of cases are cured with no ill effects. People that have medical problems already are the one's who should be isolating. Other's that are perfectly healthy need to be quarantined if testing positive. Locking down the whole business world in the US is going to be an economic disaster. PS - The medical experts do not even consider the economy in their decisions. That's not their field and they don't worry about it at all.

Perhaps you should read this and then make a comment about the cure vs. virus. https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/06/destroying-the-economy-will-create-a-different-public-health-crisis/

Because Obama did nothing with the info he received and sure as hell didn't pass it on. The rest of the world knew it? Really? What makes you think that? Did any media report on it? Did you know about it? Nobody did.

It won't be left unabated just because people go back to work If we don't get this economy going soon, the economic crises will kill more people than the virus.

Try reading the rest of what I wrote genius.

Atovaquone interferes with the reproduction of protozoa (single-cell organisms) that can cause disease in the body. Atovaquone is used to treat or prevent pneumonia caused by a fungal infection called Pneumocystis carinii (also called Pneumocystis jiroveci). This medication contains 2 medicines: atovaquone and proguanil. It is used to prevent and treat malaria caused by mosquito bites in countries where malaria is common. Malaria parasites can enter the body through these mosquito bites, and then live in body tissues such as red blood cells or the liver.

This virus will create a secondary public health crises. https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/06/destroying-the-economy-will-create-a-different-public-health-crisis/

Those stupid bastards. They never envisioned it would be this bad. Par for the course. They never get anything right.

The POTUS cannot do it. The Constitution doesn't give him the authority. Ask the state Governors who haven't done it? Hello Cuomo?

Who's FBI is it? The POTUS can't fire anyone without Democrats suing him and calling for impeachment. Let's see if we can find who heads the CDC and if he's a registered Democrat, shall we?

Who in government did he submit his paper to?

Ah the Huff Post. That bastion of "real" journalism and total credibility. The "National Inquirer" of political pundits. LOL! Maybe you don't comprehend the article, because he's blaming federal agencies and state Governors for not acting. besides, he never submitted anything to Trump or his administration. He gave a speech at Georgetown Univ Medical Center. You think medical professionals would've acted on it? Maybe they didn't want to prevent it? Maybe they understood it was the Dr's opinion? Maybe they though he was looney? Who knows? But it doesn't mean crap about Trump or his administration, especially coming from Huff, since they are part of the swamp trying to take Trump down every day.
