These shutdowns were undoubtedly carried out to cripple the US economy and prevent Trump from being reelected president in 2020.
These shutdowns happened under Trump’s watch.

This claim of yours above has always been a wacky one. Who would have masterminded a global pandemic to try to make sure that one guy in one country would not be re-elected? I’m going to have to believe - barring any evidence presented by you, unless you have some to consider - that you’re just repeating weird conspiracy talking points because you find it amusing. It isn’t even consistent with the other weird MAGA conspiracies, like claiming that Trump won 2020 but that the election was ‘stolen’. If stealing the election was so easy, why did your Deep State launch a global pandemic to kill off random people in other countries?

Please stop trying to convince folks that you’re irrational enough to believe these things. Please just accept that scads of folks outside of MAGA knows that MAGA makes these claims because MAGA is unable to accept that not everyone wants to be ruled by a grifting, fraud-convicted sexual abuser who protects child traffickers and that those people did, in fact, not vote for Trump. No cheating required.

That said, has anyone in the Administration figured out yet what the goal is in Iran other than needing to put someone in power who will pretend to like Trump? Has Hegseth run the numbers yet on how many American lives that’s worth?

but kids in families receiving SNAP benefits might deserve to go hungry.
Most of these women need to grow up, realize that life is not a romance novel and put their kids first by staying with their children's father. Far too many American women prioritize their own happiness over their children's best interests. This happiness is based on whether or not their current flavor of the month is meeting her expectations. The government needs to stop rewarding that kind of behavior.

What if the father decides that he doesn’t want to be a dad? Can the kids get food then?

Don’t forget to venture an opinion on if anyone in the Administration has figured out yet what the goal is in Iran other than needing to put someone in power who will pretend to like Trump. Has Hegseth run the numbers yet on how many American lives that’s worth?

Since you and other Democrats were among those claiming that Trump was responsible for all the COVID deaths in the US, let's add up how much the scamdemic hyperagressive lockdown response really cost the world economy.

99.96% of people under 70 years of age with no comorbidities survived COVID. How many who got infected with COVID are now permanently disabled because of it? How many trillions did Biden spend on socialism, disguised as stimulus, that led to 9% inflation, which was lower than most countries around the world? How much did all these lockdowns really cost us? And for what? So that 0.04% of the decrepit people might live a year or two longer?
What if the father decides that he doesn’t want to be a dad? Can the kids get food then?
80% of divorces are initiated by women. More often than not men are kicked out of their home and not permitted to have a relationship with their children. The only thing these kids ever know about their real father is told to them through the twisted lies of a bitter mother. Because if you've already got a legal hold on 75% of what a man has and 75% of what he'll ever make, why not kick him out because he played basketball when you felt alone and needed attention? Why not bring home a new dad for your kids every couple of months? And why not have kids with whatever low life thug passes your way because the more babies you have, the more your welfare check increases. You're not really married to any of these men anyway. You're married to the government!

Were there no broken marriages before 1960? Did men or women not abandon their children in the past? And yet people survived for thousands of years without any form of taxpayer funded social welfare. They might have had to actually ask for help. They didn't get the luxury of just siphoning off tens of millions of dollars from a faceless taxpayer that they would never actually meet in person the way Somali immigrants in Minnesota do now. The people they were asking might not have agreed to give them millions of dollars for a daycare that doesn't really exist but is rather a fiction being used to take millions in fraudulent money back to Somalia. But they often did give the kids food and a means to survive, without the help of the politicians who built the great welfare state. You see the unseen hand of freemarket private charities done on a personal level is very good at cutting out fraud. And contrary to popular opinion, most human beings are very generous to those who are truly in need of charity and have no way of doing for themselves. For a democratic socialist politician, the vote is won as soon as the money is spent, often times before a tax has even been raised to actually pay for it as is the case with deficit spending. Whether that money goes to fraud or actually helping the sick/afflicted or downtrodden is of no concern to the socialist politician because efficiency is irrelevant when it comes to purchasing votes as a part of your campaign platform.

Oh. OK.
How many trillions did Biden spend on socialism, disguised as stimulus, that led to 9% inflation, which was lower than most countries around the world. How much did all these lockdowns really cost us?
Wait. You said that you were going to add up the figures, and now you want me to guess numbers? How about $37.96?
99.96% of people under 70 years of age with no comorbidities survived COVID. How many who got infected with COVID are now permanently disabled because of it?
‘With no comorbidities’. Right. You mean things like cardiovascular disease, Type 1 or 2 diabetes, chronic lung diseases (COPD, asthma, etc.), chronic kidney disease, cancer, obesity, compromised immune states, liver disease, and cerebrovascular disease. In other words, probably every third person in your neighborhood. I’m sure that you knew well beforehand the medical risk factors of everyone that you came into contact with.

Yes, wearing a mask sucked. Was it worth not handing off COVID to someone who could have adversely suffered or died from it? Absolutely. But YMMV; this was obviously a severe hardship for you.

Social distancing and work-from-home policies also sucked. As did homeschooling. We did it too. Somehow, we survived. Not everyone else did. At the time, though, it wasn’t so possible to put a price tag on life. Not that doing so was a hard task for the folks who whined hardest about abortions, but suddenly bitched about how random strangers dropping dead was so much more preferable than wearing a mask.
How many trillions did Biden spend on socialism, disguised as stimulus, that led to 9% inflation, which was lower than most countries around the world?
You seem to be forgetting that most of that stimulus was handed out during the Trump Administration. And thanks for admitting that our inflation rate was lower here than most countries around the world. Our recovery was faster, too.
And for what? So that 0.04% of the decrepit people might live a year or two longer?
I’ll bet that not a lot of folks die each year from tornadoes. You haven’t, yet. I’ll bet that if you found yourself in town and a tornado warning sounded, you wouldn’t heckle the people who were taking cover. You’d have joined them.

What was really odd was watching it turn out that the same folks who were yelling about how COVID was a Chinese plot to kill Americans were also the same people who refused to mask up in public. It was almost as if they were on Xi’s payroll.
What if the father decides that he doesn’t want to be a dad? Can the kids get food then?
80% of divorces are initiated by women.
You might as well blurt out the percentage of men who are the perpetrators in abusive relationships.

1. What does your figure above have to do with unmarried couples?

2. How does your figure above relate to the number of women and children on welfare?
More often than not men are kicked out of their home and not permitted to have a relationship with their children. The only thing these kids ever know about their real father is told to them through the twisted lies of a bitter mother. Because if you've already got a legal hold on 75% of what a man has and 75% of what he'll ever make, why not kick him out because he played basketball when you felt alone and needed attention? Why not bring home a new dad for your kids every couple of months? And why not have kids with whatever low life thug passes your way because the more babies you have, the more your welfare check increases. You're not really married to any of these men anyway. You're married to the government!
Who are these judges granting divorces to couples because the man ‘played basketball’? Who are these women who want to work and provide childcare to several children exclusively on their own time because of this? How much jewelry, shoes and bonbons are these single moms buying with the extra $130 a month that they’re getting for pushing out a third or fourth child? And do any of these people know what Trump’s plan is for his seat-of-his-Depends war folly? If they do, I’ll kick in an extra box of bonbons.
Were there no broken marriages before 1960? Did men or women not abandon their children in the past?
Why do we park in driveways and drive on parkways? Why does paper rip easier when wet? Why has the fellow you voted for had at least three wives while openly admitting to cheating on all three, financing at least one abortion, and burying one of his exes in a weedy back corner of one of his crappier golf courses in order to gain a property tax break? So many questions.
And yet people survived for thousands of years without any form of taxpayer funded social welfare.
Hospitals, too. Look how long we made it before we started to build hospitals. Of course, we used to use leeches and radioactive concoctions to ‘cure’ people, but dammit, man, we used to be just fine without hospitals. Look how far we’ve fallen.

And starvation … that just builds character. You don’t even need to worry about starving children; if you give them a long enough amount of time, they’ll eat their unemployed parents while they’re sleeping, which will conveniently fatten them up for working in the mines while ridding ourselves of their ne’er-do-well ‘poor’ parents.
They might have had to actually ask for help.
Yes! And then you can, at that very moment, remind them of what useless sacks of fetid flesh that they are, and that how dare they ask you for help when they can just pull themselves up by their bootstraps (except that one guy with the gangrenous infected leg; he’s down to one bootstrap). I’m certain that these useless slugs of society - the single moms, especially - deserve nothing, given that they didn’t marry the very next man who demanded it, or magically force the other man who abandoned them to do so.
They didn't get the luxury of just siphoning off tens of millions of dollars from a faceless taxpayer that they would never actually meet in person the way Somali immigrants in Minnesota do now.
Yes! So many of these immigrants are millionaires! And it’s only the immigrants! And women immigrants! All immigrants are fraudsters, which is why we need to get rid of every single one of them, because if we don’t, then they might end up competing with the professional US-citizens-and-not-Somali fraudsters, like the group of over 300 folks in Texas who were in court last year for committing $14.6 billion in fraudulent healthcare system transactions.
You see the unseen hand of freemarket private charities done on a personal level is very good at cutting out fraud.
Tammy Faye Baker is giggling somewhere, right now.

You voted for a man who is forbidden in some states to run a charity because he skimmed off of his own, is stealing your tax dollars to run crypto scams, has used our military to take control of foreign oil that sells to the highest bidder with the money going into a Qatari bank account that only he controls, and who sues federal agencies for $billions$ to be placed into his own accounts to assuage his random petty grievances, just for starters. You seem to be an absolutely terrible judge of both politicians and charities.

Now, how about telling us what Trump is bumbling about in Iran for?

Not long ago, MAGA Republicans were adamantly against any type of war with Iran (as demonstrated in Charlie Kirk's TPUSA survey, amongst other things). They specifically voted for Trump on the promise we wouldn't be the world's police, going around spending billions/trillions pre-emptively stomping out existential threats. The overwhelming view of MAGA Republicans were that we weren't going to continue the patterns of Obama, and Bush. When Trump started saber-rattling last year, the message was clear from MAGA: No attacks on Iran or any other country.

Normally we get a few weeks, or months, of propaganda from our Government to sell us on war. The Trump administration decided it didn't need that, because their cult will literally believe, and then regurgitate anything they say immediately. Sloppy, contradictory justifications were churned out, to see what would stick, and here we see a real-life example of that sloppy post hoc justifications easily finding a mark. From Islamaphobia, to "I'll pay high prices, and sacrifice American troops, and eat through billions in taxpayer funds, in order to protect Muslims" in the blink of an eye. Well, unless those Muslims live in Gaza... or Afghanistan... or Sudan... or Syria... or Yemen... or... Libya... or Iraq... or...

If it weren't for double-standards, MAGA would struggle to have any standards at all.

Scamdemic lockdowns and unconstitutional restrictions like forced vaccinations to keep your job didn't just suck. They did irreversible damage to the economy and they did little to nothing for public health. We all ended up getting COVID just as I predicted and the vast majority of us survived what felt like little more than a flu or less. All the social distancing, masking, and economic destruction which I still say was aimed at getting rid of Trump, was a terrible and unnecessary waste of resources. You democrats made a really bad call and I'm going to continue to remind you of that until you admit it.

They seem to have possibly saved millions of lives.

Maybe you could make this more relevant and tell me about how you were harmed by ‘lockdowns’ and vaccinations, either financially or health-wise.
We all ended up getting COVID just as I predicted and the vast majority of us survived what felt like little more than a flu or less.

That’s OK. In turn, I’ll remind you that lockdowns and Op Warp Speed happened during the Trump Administration, and that you have nothing to point at to support the MAGA psychosis that sees a worldwide pandemic as having been created to ‘get rid of Trump’.

What a weird performance. It literally spits in the face of every person who died from COVID the world over, to say that their death is explained by your personal infatuation with a grifting, fraud-convicted sexual abuser, and based on a claim that you don’t seem willing to even admit to actually believing anyway.

This isn't for Ajax, as I've shared it before to him, and he has ignored it. But for anyone else curious, Trump's plan for lockdowns is still available to view through archives and/or wayback machine. It's more draconian, and would have had us locked down much longer than even the most left-leaning Governors implemented (or anything from Biden). For example, to even begin to initiate the beginnings of the phased re-opening of businesses, it would have required 14 days of reduced cases. What does Phase One look like? A few things like: Social distancing, with "vulnerable individuals" (**see below) sheltering in place. For those out in the world, "precautionary measures" like masking. No groups of more than 10 people. Employers were to close all common areas. Mind you, that's Phase One. It's total lockdown unless the initial metrics are reached. Then just some types of businesses can re-open (things like large venues, schools, gyms, and bars were Phase 2 -- and then limited capacity, social distancing, masking, etc.). If cases increase during Phase 1, 2, or 3 -- back to total lockdowns until the initial metrics are reached again, beginning the phased opening again.

Opening Up American Again

Trump's "Vulnerable Individuals" who would need to continue to shelter in place during the start of the phased re-opening:
  1. Elderly individuals.
  2. Individuals with serious underlying health conditions, including high blood pressure, chronic lung disease, diabetes, obesity, asthma, and those whose immune system is compromised such as by chemotherapy for cancer and other conditions requiring such therapy.
So, basically, about 80% of taxpayers.

Ajax is mad that Democrats didn't demolish the economy as thoroughly as Trump wanted to.
