Flu has a shorter incubation period. It makes complete sense for stay at home orders to put a giant dent in those numbers.

How come he supported Kemp only a couple of days ago and then flipped yesterday? Did he really change his mind?


Good question. He probably didn’t change his mind but all of his advisors told him to do so. Yes, he had to be convinced to support his own admins guidelines. Think about how stupid that is.

That might not have been the best part about yesterday though. Remember the CDC Redfield guy saying the winter could be even worse for our nation? Trump got mad about it, called it cnn fake news, and wanted him to recant his statement. Well, he didn’t follow trump’s orders, and said the statement in wash po was accurate. Today, trump is saying it’s not gonna be bad later at all because he talked to “10 people” who said it won’t be.

Because one supports Georgia opening and the other doesn’t. That’s a legit conflict of interest that should bother those suffering both TWS and “let me in my Applebee’s!” Brain rot.


That is not a conflict. That is a difference of opinion. We can support Trump regardless if we agree with him or Kemp on this matter. There is no conflict for us. We do not suffer from a severe mental illness and understand how to make decisions for ourselves based on the information we get from many sources. We don't hate Trump or Kemp and support them both. Hell, I even hate the dumbass mayor of Atlanta for her stance and I dont even live in the city limits.

But whatever. You got your agenda and you're clearly stickin to it.


One thing I'm sure of: Trump isn't a physician or a health scientist, and has no business touting medications that haven't been proven to help. Especially when his own advisors then have to get up and counter what he just said.

As of now, there are not "dozens of studies" demonstrating that HC and AZ are effective treatments for COVID-19, nor are there "slews of doctors" endorsing it as a treatment. Maybe you should check the official statement by AMA, guidance put out by CDC and HHS, and the comments by Fauci.

Sounds like you're the one with the agenda. But...we already knew that.

So do you just believe anything that helps Trump? Assad using chemical weapons makes about as much sense as Saddam having WMDs


You do know that a few years earlier Assad had used chemical weapons against his own people, right?

Would you believe the NY Times?
Syria Used Chemical Weapons 3 Times in One Week, Watchdog Says

There is a whole Wiki page talking about his used of chemical weapons during their Civil War in 2013.
Use of chemical weapons in the Syrian Civil War

So, tell me...is it so far fetched that they were used in 2018?

Good. Then you will have no problem placing the absolute atrocious mess thta NY is in right now on Deblasio and Cuomo for encouraging their people to go to parades, movies and the park....and keeping school children in schools after the rest of the country was shutting down schools. Or how they bought, stored, then sold their PPE stockpiles? Shall we go one? because the only place I see your finger pointing is at Trump.

Haven't seen your finger pointing at Cuomo...or Deblasio...or the Chinese...or the media that scoffed at Trump for suspending travel between the US and China. You know, the ones that called it Xenophobia?

Let's see you criticize everybody who have made fatalistic mistakes. The fact that you point your finger in one direction and one direction only shows you have an agenda.

Yes, I think Trump's political advisers convinced him that going against Kemp was a win politically. Kemp is a useful moron.

It’s common knowledge we gave intel to the Iraqi military during their war with their neighbor but that hardly makes us complicit in gassing Kurds. Mandali Iraq which sits on the border was also gassed but the Iranians pulled that off. If the Kurds thought we really provided assistance to that massacre would they be our allies?

We had a common enemy. Foes become friends and friends become foes all the time. Leaders play games while innocents and soldiers die.

And yeah many leaders on the state levels especially the ones in New York are to blame here but Trump is the president so obviously he deserves blame too

And of course China deserves massive blame for their frick ups and cover ups. All you've done is beat your chest about a false flag, cheer for never ending war, and deflect criticism of Trump

TWS and “my bowling alley now!” are all up in your brain, so stop with this “we aren’t mentally ill” BS. It’s a lie.

What you call “a difference of opinion” is the conflict. It’s a disagreement. Your 2 guys are working against each other on the same idea.

I've been seeing alot of bowling alley quips from the left lately. I don't get it. A bowling alley is actually the safest thing you can re-open. Only open every other lane or every third lane, and everyone is distanced. Spray down the balls and shoes etc with lysol like they already do, spray down each lane when the people leave, before the next people get assigned, I don't see the problem.

I am going out to eat on Monday night. Not sure which restaurants will actually brave it, but if they're willing, I'm willing to support their business.

I like a little danger. I think it will make the meal even better.

Some fun facts from my spreadsheet-

New daily hospitalizations in GA in 8 of the last 10 days have been falling or flatlined from the day before.

In only 2 of the last ten days have the new hospitalizations gone up from the previous day.


Since I started tracking on March 24-

22% of the total number of tests resulted in positive for CV.

The last five days have all been below that.

Statistically speaking, the last five days have drawn down that average of 22%.


Prior to 5 days ago, the average was actually 24%.


13 of the last 15 days have been at or below that.

While in theory this may work it may not work so well in practice. First, how do you know how thoroughly the equipment are being cleaned? If traffic in the bowling alley increases where shoes and bowling balls are constantly being checked in and out it will be difficult to maintain a sanitary standard. Also, you can't just "spray down the lane" after each use due to the chemicals that are on the lanes to keep them smooth and slick. Would make sense to wipe down the bowling balls after each use but this kind of goes back to the first issue. Hopefully the alleys have an answer to these questions before they open.

I wasn't talking about spraying the actual lane down, that would be retarded. I was talking about spraying down the seats, cupholders, armrests, buttons, the little area where people are. Sorry I didn't make that specific, I assume a base level of intelligence when I post here, and it bites me on the arse all the time. I apologize.

So it's completely unsanitary 365 days a year? You think it can't be more sanitary when only a third of your lanes are open?

Whataboutism? Why does the left always jump up and down and scream about whataboutism, then use it when it suits them? Or they say something like, "Just because _________ did it, does that doesn't mean it's okay for somebody else to do it."


Okay...more to your point. We bombed people with Napalm. That was wrong, but not chemical weapons. Or at least it is not classified that way. That said....we did not drop the chemical weapons that were used, so.....I mean if we are on a bombing mission with an allie, and they drop chemical weapons, it's certainly not good, but the story doesn't say we were aware they were going to do something like that. Sadam Hussein did that.

Seriously? Power? Control? the outcome? You mean the one that he got? he used them in 2013, but there is no way he would use them in 2018? That's your stance?

quote:

There is nothing wrong with Isolationism. I personally wish we leaned more in that direction. But, the very definition of Isolationism is not meddling in other countries affairs. Staying out of their conflicts. You did understand that, right?


quote:

No I said I didn't use it

And then to prove a point you were making you linked an article that was nothing but Whataboutism. Again...I have no problem with Whataboutisms....but you clearly said you did not use it, then linked an article that was nothing but.

quote:

He deserves blame for anything he did wrong. Sure. But the left isn't investigating Cuomo or Deblasio. They are pointing fingers at Pelosi for tying up reluief checks so she could get Federal Funding for abortions. They aren't going after Pelosi and Schumer for holding up the Small Business funds so they could try to ram more pork into the bill.

Nope. The left is united in one thing. Pointing fingers at trump. How many that are sided with the left in this thread have criticized Pelosi, Schumer, Deblasio and Cuomo? now see how many are pointing fingers at Trump.

quote:

You don't know what a false flag is any more than you know what a Whataboutism is. I am not for endless war. And I deflect criticism from Trump only to show the hypocrisy of the left in not aiming one sentence of criticism to the clowns on the left that have caused more damage at the epicenter of this Pandemic in our country than Trump ever did.

But hey...if you want to defend the left then by all means....do what they suggest. Go have a party, go to the movies and by all means attend the parade. I mean what harm could it do?
