I don't care about Pelosi and never have. The fixation on her by the political right is strange to say the least. My focus is on the current president, who is dangerously uneducated, uninformed, and corrupt and therefore dangerously unfit for the office of President. I also dispise all of the corrupt folks at the top of the Republican party, notably the war profiteers and pandemic profiteers.
The Democratic party certainly has its issues, too. However, I am not having and will never have a Republican versus Democrat argument. The system is 2-party, but I am not. Pointing fingers at the other side while ignoring the evil on your side is just what they want you to do.
And any Trumper who defaults to talking about Pelosi is doing life and politics wrong. The president deserves to be discussed while keeping the topic on him.
Also, stop reading Foxnews. This is not at whomever I'm replying to, but everybody. It's horseshite lies in its entirety.
And I will not be replying further on this topic. I only said this because I was replied to.
Roll Tide, everybody.

For someone who allegedly voted for Trump in 2016 you sure seem to prove that's a lie with every post you make regarding politics.
You're an educator. Liberal.
You left the country. Liberal.
You take constant shots at Fox News when no one brings them up. Liberal.
You think other countries are handling this virus situation better than the US when the facts are the opposite. Liberal.
You consistently demonize a man you supposedly voted for, yet he hasn't changed since the election. Nice try, Liberal.
Just admit you're a toe lining Democrat and end this farce.
ETA: There's nothing wrong with being a Liberal or Democrat, but stop pretending you're not one.

You're a coach, not an educator. See? Easily explainable.

Dead center international is very much American liberal. Universal healthcare is only a liberal issue in the US. In the rest of the developed world, it's just called 'society'.
Getting labeled a 'liberal' by a US citizen is not an insult. It's actually nothing in the truest sense of the word. Most of you guys couldn't find center if you tried, and you think the US is the only country on earth. It's funny, really.
You can call me whatever you want. It does not matter in the slightest.

Regarding Foxnews, I brought it up. Me. I believe it's poisoning many of your brains and most of the brains in the South.
Again, I brought it up. Me. I believe and know it's a disease, and I want to eradicate it, to the extent I can.
And the next time I bring it up, it'll be because I, me, mutherfricking prevatt33, wanted to bring it up.
I don't need anyone to first reference a thing before talking about it. Is that a concept you and others here can understand? We'll see. I doubt it, tho.
(If I sound exasperated, it's because I am. People are just so disappointing sometimes. Think people. Inform yourselves and then think. On purpose.
And frick me for participating in this shite again. I hate it and it's my fault for even posting. I gotta just leave y'all to your own country and your own shite. FYI, there is so much wrong about the post I'm replying to, but it's just not worth arguing about. Literally nothing would get accomplished by arguing about it. For the record, my voting for Trump should not be construed as supporting him - I voted for him because the other option looked worse at the time. And despite the faults of some Democrats, the bulk of current Democratic policy is far better for the US than the bulk of modern Republican policy. And for the record, current Democratic policy mirrors Eisenhower-era Republican policy nearly to the letter. Later.
Also Saint, my apologies for getting frustrated. I actually mean no disrespect to you personally. I'm just frustrated about the politics of my home country.)

Who, in your highly valued self-opinion, should people be watching instead?
CNN?
MSNBC?
CBS News?
BBC?
DailyMail TV?
Who isn't putting out "disease" reports these days? All of them are corrupt and report extremely biased hit pieces day in and day out.

And? Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. Why don't all African-Americans vote for the party that produced their ancestors freedom?

It's not that you are exasperated, it's because you are insufferable. Hell, everyone here knows it.
What you really need is some self-awareness.

I've been to more countries on this planet than probably 95% of this board. Saying the US is handling this better than almost all the others is the truth. The UW and Imperial models are going down drastically due to the response by our government. Is it really that hard for you to admit?

That's doing Italy, France, England, the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain a world of good right now, no?
Just for shits and giggles, here's a 2019 study from Johns Hopkins showing the US is the most prepared country in the world for a pandemic:
quote:
The U.S. scored 83.5 and ranked No. 1 in five of six categories: prevention, early detection and reporting, rapid response and mitigation, sufficient and robust health system, and compliance with international norms. It ranks 19th in overall risk environment and vulnerability to biological threats, a category that assesses political and security risk, socioeconomic resilience, the adequacy of infrastructure, environmental risks, and public health vulnerabilities that may inhibit a country's ability to prevent or respond to an epidemic or pandemic.
For reference, your beloved Costa Rica came in 62nd place

The actual news coverage on Fox News isn't so bad. The problem with Fox News is the prime time personalities are the face of the network and they're all guilty of spreading lies and disinformation. I don't really have much use for ANY of the cable networks' "entertainment" shows, but I really don't like being fed obvious disinformation and lies.

I'd prefer folks read the news, rather than watch it, but to each his own.
Regarding the best unbiased sources, I'd encourage any American to get his/her news from BBC, AL Jazeera, NPR, or the Wall Street Journal. Hell, even checking out the front page of Reddit can be useful. And stay away from anything purporting itself to be 'news' on social media, especially Facebook.

I take no offense that you say this, but it's laughable that you think I'm not aware of my words here and their ramifications. I'm clear about what I say and the fact that many here don't like it or disagree. That's literally what is so frustrating, that so many of my countrymen are clueless to the reality of life around them on earth to such a crazy level that a person who says what I say is considered 'out there' by much of the group. So many of you live life in such bubble of ignorance that yeah, it's incredibly frustrating. I get frustrated trying to fight against it, but it simply an exercise in futility. A very large portion of you are simply 'blue pill' folks, to borrow from the Matrix. And so I'm the bad guy for telling it like it is.
So be it, I suppose. But I'm well 'aware'. I only wish I could make my fellow countrymen equally aware. Then you wouldn't put up with the shite show that is the modern US.
Who was it that recently called the US the "richest 3rd world country on earth"? It's honestly accurate.

I will certainly cop to one thing, though. I let my frustration at the words and actions of Americans not on this website out on this website, and that is not something I should not do. Most of us are guilty of it, but since I speak so strongly, the misappropriation is exaggerated and more improper. For that, you have my apologies. And I will endeavor in the future to try and seperate the two.

One more thing Saint, since you're a mod and I have your attention momentarily:
I know during these covid-19 times, the posting rules have been adjusted and that's cool. However, given that this is a sports discussion board, I want to voice my support for re-banning the topic of politics from the sports board in its entirety. I don't know when that can be done, but I vote for the sooner, the better. I think there is a politics board, and we should force all the political discussion to take place there. The rules were relaxed and that thread about the Governor's race (or whatever it was) was allowed to exist all of last year, and I think that was a mistake, and the political discussion has only grown from there. Any good sports board must ban all non-sports topics - especially politics - and I hope we can get back to that as soon as possible. Just my 2 cents.
EDIT: I also think the board could benefit from the topic of religion being similarly banned, but perhaps that's another discussion. Not sure.

I can't think of many news outlets in this country that doesn't have a strong political bias going in. You have to wade through the editorial spin on most every news item these days.
Why does it have to be that 2 minutes into any news segment and viewers know exactly how the host voted in the last election? BBC World News is refreshing and more accurate.
