Covid 19 Updates Part 2

[Alan Klein]

Right. Trudeau has much nicer hair and wears more stylish socks. He can also read.

Trumps had hotter women. So there.

I see New York received 1000 ventilators from China. Maybe those commies aren't that bad after all. Oh wait...maybe the ventilators are booby trapped and will release the virus at midnight. Or maybe they are bugged and will be used to take down the Internet.

They probably stole the patent from an American company.

Les, Your PM acknowledge he didn't take many measures he should have.  While Trump stopped some international travel to America as early as January, Trudeau didn't do it until March.

"Canada, however, didn’t take significant steps to restrict international travellers until mid-March. On Monday, Trudeau — asked whether that should have happened earlier — seemed to acknowledge that with the benefit of hindsight, more could have been done."

The point is none of us has hindsight and no one wanted to over react.  Why is the focus only on Trump's lack of foretelling the future?  Every leader missed things in this crisis.  Frankly, a lot of what happened all around is luck.  No one should count their chickens before they hatch.  It's not over and could come back to haunt us again.  At a minimum, we're all going to have to deal with the enormous economic costs.

Alan, I never intended to start an argument about Trump (or leaders from other countries). I only corrected Craig's comment that Trump wasn't downplaying the coronavirus risks.

[Alan Klein]

That does not matter. 

As far as I am concerned, if you're of legal age and dont vote, your opinion is meaningless.  You have already told us that is what you feel by by not voting. 

If you are not of legal age, I could care less about your opinion.  You're a child, and don't have the life experiences to have a clue about anything.  How can a 16 year, who's never fallen in love and still a virgin, never dealt with a mortgage, never had a car payment, never had to deal with life altering consequences they themselves brought onto not only themselves but others, never dealt with death repeatably, never had to plan a funeral and be the executor of an estate of a loved one, never had to watch their finances dwindle due to a recession, etc, have any clue to be able to make an informed decision? 

Well, when things get bad for them, they could always move back in with mommy and daddy.

Did you see this part of the press conference today? 

“I want to come way under the models. The professionals did the models. I was never involved in a model. But – at least this kind of a model.”

If you don't have some time for humor, you might as well die anyway.  As usual, the left is loosing it over this, but I got a laugh out of it.

[BernardLanguillier]

As far as I am concerned, the people who did not vote are of no consequence to the conversation.  They are meaningless, nothing but shadows in the political system, and not to be cared about when discussing politics.  Like I said, either they are young and their voices are meaningless when it come decision making due to their lack of wisdom or they decided to not vote and tell us they themselves dont enough care about their opinions, at least not enough to vote. 

The fact remains, it was 46% of us who actually matter that voted for Trump.

So no. 

However, I will send you an olive branch.  When you apologize for saying all us Trump voters and republicans have the blood of the dead on our hands, I'll apologize for my condescending post about USA civics.

I understand how painful a realization that is and I feel sorry for you and for the many victims resulting from Trump’s actions and words.

He is obviously not responsible for the virus. But he is responsible for what he said and did. President of the US is a tough job, especially in such circumstances. But the way the job is executed matters... a lot. And that has been very very poor as has been demonstrated with total clarity in this thread.

You are obviously not responsible for the virus either, but you have chosen to keep supporting a leader whom you knew was not competent. And I don’t know what you call responsibility if you think you have none on this. I really don’t.

This set aside I sincerely hope that you will all be safe.

Final comments from me in this thread.

Cheers,

Did the virus come from China Bernard?  Is it killing people all over the world?   You like to lay blame for the death of people from this Virus and you even blamed members of this forum as being in part responsible. 

So now you call a set of true and irrefutable facts as racist.

My oh my your hole keeps getting deeper.  I suggest you learn the first rule of holes.

Calling someone a racist, is the first line of defence for a leftist, socialist or Democrat, who can't refute the facts.  You know that.

What pain?   

 

I feel no pain what so ever.  I have no remorse for my vote. 

Your attempt to goad me into feeling guilty for voting for Trump is a fool's errand. 

Seriously, you have no higher moral ground then I do Bernard.  You're not a priest or rabbi or imam. 

Your heart is filled with so much hate, it has distorted your soul.  I recommend perhaps you find a priest or a rabbi or an imam and have a long deep conversation. 

[hogloff]

   You embarrassed yourself by voting for Trudeau.  At least Trump didn't go around three times in his life that we know of wearing black face like Trudeau.  He actually did it pretty recently.  What kind of a fool for a prime minister does that in this day and age?  How do you vote for a guy like that?

Yeh...your boy goes out hires hookers and grabs snatches and then brags about it. Oh...and he refers to African countries as shitholes.

Like I said, don't embarrass yourself defending the shithole.

[hogloff]

  They probably stole the patent from an American company.

Maybe...but China built them and American is sitting here holding the bag. Now who's the genius?

[Alan Klein]

You got lumped into all the Canadians' remarks here.  And you did say he can't read.  Another smear.  From you. It's pretty impolite to insult the leaders of other countries and their voters.  It takes balls especially when your own leaders aren't saints.  The self-righteousness of the Trump haters and his voters is suffocating.   The constant bile against Trump is just over the top.  So if you keep up the attacks on him, you better be ready to get back what you give.  Sorry. 

[Craig Lamson]

Alan, I never intended to start an argument about Trump (or leaders from other countries). I only corrected Craig's comment that Trump wasn't downplaying the coronavirus risks.

But and Trump and more importantly his experts did not downplay the virus.  America got the best advice the experts had to offer, unvarnished and not surpressed.  That’s is the unvarnished fact.

[Craig Lamson]

Yeh...your boy goes out hires hookers and grabs snatches and then brags about it. Oh...and he refers to African countries as shitholes.

Like I said, don't embarrass yourself defending the shithole.

Really he hired hookers?  Do have verified proof of that?  And you have never grabbed a snatch?

Politics has removed their sense of humor. We all need to lighten up a little. 

[Craig Lamson]

Wow, let’s see.  Let a virus from your country invade the world and then you get to be called a genius?  Amazing logic...

[John Camp]

Bernard,

What do you think about Japan -- not the politics, but the numbers? Is it going to get bad? Is it already bad? I saw something that said a lot of Japanese wear masks in the Spring because of allergies, and that may have cut the spread of the virus. What do you think? Also, are you spending any time with a camera, documenting this? Empty train windows, that sort of thing? People here really don't believe this, but we're going to lose more Americans than we lost in all the wars we've fought after WWII, but nobody seems to be documenting it in a historical sense. It's all journalism, and the journalism isn't even very thoughtful and there's little attempt at objectivity by anyone.

Go get a good night sleep, Bernard.  It looks like you wore yourself out. 

[LesPalenik]

Craig, I interpreted Trump's remarks differently than you. Could be due to the difference between the American and Canadian spelling.

[Alan Klein]

Yeh...your boy goes out hires hookers and grabs snatches and then brags about it. Oh...and he refers to African countries as shitholes.

Like I said, don't embarrass yourself defending the shithole.

Trudeau will never live down the black faces.  Not only is it racist, only a child acts like that.  So you elected a little boy who makes fun of black people.  What a disgrace. 

[LesPalenik]

I admit, that the post about Trudeau being able to read was perhaps not the most appropriate. That was actually a response to a later, entirely different post than to the Craig's post about Trump never denying the coronavirus risks. I should have said, that although both leaders can read, one reads more than the other.
