We'll make sure, then, that you get NOTHING no matter what.
Maybe I'll need your wilderness survival training when the left collapses the economy in a couple years.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

If Trump is reelected, we probably won't have to wait as long as a couple of years before the economy collapses; It is questionable whether we will have to wait that long before our whole democracy collapses, let alone the economy! He is as dumb as a stump! For example: he can't even get it through his head that when he raises tariffs on foreign goods, it is the American consumers who wind up paying them -- not the countries exporting the goods to us. And when the exporting countries retaliate by embargoing or raising tariffs on our exports to them, American farmers and manufacturers stand to lose a lot more than the countries on whose goods we impose tariffs. How does that help our economy?
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Gunnar I don't think he's as dumb as a stump. I'm almost done with the Michael Cohen book. The man is entirely ruthless, greedy, and self serving. He's mob boss level cut throat and relies an a flotilla of sycophants to do his dirty work.

Sound familiar? We see it every day.

The right is doing a great job here by massively overspending you into bankruptcy.

What you repeatedly FAIL to acknowledge is that if President had done his damn JOB to start with regarding the novel coronavirus most of this mess could have been avoided.

And yet you refuse to hold accountable the guy that's in charge. How willfully blind are you?

He is right now in real time showing us that he doesn't give a damn about the members of his own administration or the household staff that serves him every single day of their lives. What on earth makes you think he gives a damn about YOU?

He doesn't.

Just today, the moron clown got up and crowed that he is everyone's favorite President..... what, he thinks all this is a popularity contest for him??? over 210,000 are dead (more than 5 total YEARS of flu deaths, these are not anywhere near the same) and all he can think to say is he is a favorite?!? Is that all that matters to him?

UPDATE:

Remember when Trump halted the stimulus talks until after the election? That was so TUESDAY. This morning, the talks are back on.
Donald Trump wrote:I shut down talks two days ago because they weren’t working out. Now they are starting to work out.

Who said, "issuing a travel ban on china is hysterical xenophobia?"

The lockdowns didn't work and they certainly weren't worth it. Show me some people who have gone without a paycheck due to the lockdowns who think it's prudent to lock down the country again and forbid what the higher ups consider to be nonessential workers from going out and earning a living.

Nobody.

I know what you are thinking about. Put the complete quote here in context, ajax. In CONTEXT.

I'm not going to do that for you. You introduced the issue. You go find it and post it here.

And there WAS no travel ban on china.
