Also not a lot of people died from covid, majority of dead people died with covid. When anyone look at numbers from perspective then everyone will easily see that covid danger is exagerated to the extreme. 160k people die every day in the world. While you scare yourself to death with 1,000,000 covid deaths bear in mind that these people died with covid not from it. At the same time frame another nearly 45,000,000 people died. Also when talking about Vietnam war do not forget casualties of USA allies - North Vietnamese as they should be counted with US deaths.

I am saying that people who hate him act exactly like communist agitators used to act. Hyping up hate is irrational. That is why we still have wars. People hyped and brainwashed into hating some other people brings only disaster. And forgive me but voting for one prick to get rid of another is a tragedy in my eyes.

Nope, again: he asked if there was someway that the anti-viral qualities of light and antiseptics could be harnessed in some way for use inside the body. A silly question, no doubt, which I think he realized given that he then sarcastically said "You’re going to have to use medical doctors for that, right?" and smiled.

They couldn't help themselves though as Orange Man Bad is always, always, the MSM main agenda, not as they suggest, the best interests of Americans.

Imagine if JFK had said sure we are going to fire off a few nuclear missiles at Castro only then to come out a few days later claiming he was sarcastic. FFS he is the President of the US not a fecking teenager.

Mrs Clinton knew the rules going into the race, they are the same as when Barrack Obama and her husband Mr. Clinton won the US presidential election. You must look elsewhere to fund an excuse. Changing the rules means the election gets decided by California, New York and Northern cities - Chicago and Minneapolis. It is a different election and the campaigning and strategy would change accordingly and disenfranchise the heartland of the USA. Show me a US president that is not corrupt? both Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama have done exceedingly well since leaving the office of the president. Joe Biden is a multi-millionaire after a life time in politics (book deals, speaking engagements and real estate). I think you can figure out the business model of successful politicians and their relations. If you want to see corruption see Lyndon B Johnson who makes Irish politicians look like honest beggars. Trump is possibly going to be the first president in a long time who does not gain after leaving office having already made his money beforehand and likely facing a fall in value of his real estate holdings due to the after affects of COVID. Given he is the most attacked US president in my lifetime, there probably is not much room for graft, both the permanent government (aka the deep state), the establishment media and established politicians in both Republican and Democrat parties have been trying to oust him unsuccessfully for 4 years thus far.

Let us not underestimate what he has achieved.Much better trade deals with the EU, Japan and yes also China. Obama and Bush always complained about the unfavorable trade deals but never did anything to change the conditions because they believed it was not possible to change the conditions. With these improved trade deals, Trump has significantly reduced the trade deficits with the trading partners of the US. Trump has brought employment back into the most poorest areas of America. Hundreds of thousands of coal miners lost their jobs when Obama signed up to the Paris climate deal. Trump tore up this agreement and the miners are back at work again. These guys used to vote Democrat before switching to Trump and he delivered on his promise to bring back the jobs. They will all vote Trump. During Trumps time in office he created more jobs than any President before him - under his watch unemployment dropped to 3% The stock markets hit record highs Ask anyone if they have more money in their pockets during Trumps presidency and they will all answer yes (Democrats included) The Covid-19 virus was unexpected and destroyed a lot of these good things. America will once again be great. Only Trump has the vision and determination to make this happen He is the most brave president of all time.

After the invasion of Cuba, Kennedy launched a huge terrorist campaign against Cuba, which was very serious. No joke. Bombardment of industrial installations with killing of plenty of people, bombing hotels, sinking fishing boats, sabotage.

Uncle Joe has described African-American felons as “predators” too sociopathic to rehabilitate — and white supremacist senators as his friends.https://www.google.com/amp/s/nymag.com/intelligencer/amp/2019/03/joe-biden-record-on-busing-incarceration-racial-justice-democratic-primary-2020-explained.html
