Oh, you mean Operation Warp Speed, which Trump announced on May 15, 2020 after 100k deaths in the US?

Did you know it was funded by the CARES act, which was introduced into the House by Democrat Joe Courtney on January 24, 2019? Yup, Democrats were introducing Coronavirus legislation over a year before Trump "Warp Speeded".

But Trump completely bungle testing, couldnt make sure medical personnel had access to protective gear, he continually lied about how serious the pandemic was and spewed misinformation about quack cures like hydroxychloroquine. At a time when America needed unity, Republicans divided it with anti-mask rhetoric, which they continue even today.

But yes, at least Trump signed the CARES Act bill. "Ta da"

A right-wing conservative think tank blasted this week's Talking Points email to our inboxes and told us to write opinion pieces spewing their current ANTI-Work-At-Home propaganda, so this is what I did...

Oh look at you, the brains of the operation here. Do you know what the Republicans would have capped it at? NOTHING AT ALL. Do you know why the Democrats can't deliver the perfect policies you demand? Because they have to fight against the other side tooth and nail to get anything through at all. Do you think the Republicans would be forgiving student loan debt right now? News flash: hell no. Do you have complaints about the way loans are being forgiven, oh of that I have no doubt. Do you know why you have those complaints? Because the Republicans are always chipping away and fighting against at every good thing that happens.

You'd be that spoiled brat whose single mother comes home after working her ass off all day, and throws a fit because she made potato soup again when you wanted hamburgers, wouldn't you?

The attack on education has a lot of benefits for them, but high on the list: they dont want critical thinkers. They want people who can be manipulated into "voting 3rd party", or who can be lulled into apathy, so that they can enact Project 2025.

I've heard they've hidden three immeasurably invaluable CS:Go Knife skins throughout the platform, and the first person to find all three will unlock Half-Life 3 and annoint the winner as Gaben 2, God Emperor of Valve and owner of Steam. Also, they get a chocolate factory.

You can say what you said about ANY name, you realize this, right?. Bobby Smith, Robbie Smitts... Jackie Ford, Jenny Delford.

Sure, those names are close enough to get wrong if they are people you don't personally know. But Trump KNEW this person. Not only that, Trump is the one bringing the topic up.

If Robbie Smitts was the name of my doctor, and I'm going to go in front of a crowd and say "HAS ANYONE HEARD OF BOBBY SMITH, CONGRESSMAN FROM TEXAS? HE WAS THE WHITE HOUSE DOCTOR, A GOOD DR, ONE OF THE BEST DOCTORS, AND HE SAID I WAS THE HEALTHIEST PRESIDENT, HE FEELS, IN HISTORY"

And I do that right after I said "NJM1314 DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE WORD INFLATION MEANS, I CHALLENGE HIM TO TAKE A COGNITION TEST!"

Then yeah, I got the name wrong of someone I personally know while making fun of your cognitive abilities, and it's a story to write about.

Dude, talk about missing the point. I wasn't the one who claimed all Teslas after 2016 were capable of Autopilot. ELON MUSK made that claim.. you aren't saying I'm Elon, right, because that's pretty insulting.

Elon made the claim. He called his product Autopilot and then Full Self Driving. He got up on stage and released videos claiming the cars could drive hundreds of miles without an intervention. He released faked videos. He's truly a con man for the ages.

Despite what the average internet user seems to think, not all Teslas even have the computer capable of Full Self Driving installed.

Uh.

http://tesla.com/blog/all-tesla-cars-being-produced-now-have-full-self-driving-hardware The Tesla Team, October 19, 2016

Be sure to read the part where it says that as of today, ALL Tesla cars will have the hardware needed for full self-driving at a safety level SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER than that of a human driver.

Also, can people cut the bullshit, Elon is on video suggesting year after year that FSD will take you hundreds of miles without a single intervention.

How does that make sense, that something that performs SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER than a human driver needs constant supervision by the inferior driver? Elon sold FSD as a magical autopilot since 2016, adding "Supervised" to the label like 3 months ago doesn't suddenly put the blame on the people who believed the lie.

There is no mindset keeping people from voting third party. It's impossible for anything but a two party system to result from a First Past the Post system. It's not a bug, as they say, it's a feature.

There is no momentum, it will always fail. Go to Wikipedia and look up the article "Political Parties in the United States". They have a chart showing the popular vote break down going back to Washington. Check out 232 years of history telling you how ineffective and useless it is to vote 3rd party in our current system.

You have to get rid of the Electoral College and FPTP FIRST, before a vote for an alternate candidate will ever have any meaning. This isn't my opinion. It's reality, and it's time you joined it.

Think about someone watching all 3 Back to the Futures and coming away from them thinking Biff Tannen was the real hero in each story.

Trump voters.

Well goddammit, we've got a genuine freedom fighter here in our midst, waging war against the (wink wink nudge nudge) ZIONISTS. Are you a member of the legendary 104th Battalion, the Keyboard Snipers? Or are you part of that new 88th Battalion, the Fighting Dogwhistle Luftwaffles, deploying out of your parents basement?

Well, East Coast ghouls can rip I really dig those fangs they bare And the Southern ghouls with the way they kill They drain me low when I'm down there The Midwest Werewolves' slaughter Really lasts all moonlit night And the Northern ghouls with the way they hiss They keep their thralls dead cold all night...

I wish they all could be blood-suh-sucking ghoooouuuls
