You know I'm so torn when it comes to the "Fuck around and find out" mentality.
But shit like this: "A lot of this is in reaction to the heavy handedness of these governments during COVID." really does make one consider how it would be nice to have just had a government that did nothing, so we could see the results.
Maybe next pandemic our government will have learned and will just let people die and let hospitals and our medical system be overwhelmed.
Then maybe people would see that the 99.9% survival rate that some like to throw around was highly influenced by our practices. If we had simply carried on as usual, like so many claim they wanted, the survival rate would not have been as high. But some just don't seem to realize that.
It reminds me of all the people that claimed that Y2K amounted to nothing, not realizing the millions of hours that went into fixing things so that we didn't see a collapse. They seem to think that it was some kind of hoax.
It is my opinion that it did Justify these actions.Which is, of course, why I specifically said
Again, I am not questioning whether or not military personnel have to follow orders. I'm also not saying that every discharge military member in every fired medical employee didn't have final control over their destiny. I am questioning whether or not COVID justified the actions that were taken such as lockdowns, termination of employment, discharge from the military, disallowing of gathering in groups, attempted massive government overreach, etc.
Many on your side think there is only one interpretation of the Trump team's post election efforts leading up to J6: TREASON. That's your interpretation but about 50% of the Country disagrees with you and re elected that very man to office. I have said I would have ceased legal efforts after the date of certification (Dec 15th) but I still don't think Trump and his supporters engaged in treasonous actions. Under your interpretation, of which you are so certain, half of the Country is either a traitor or a supporter of Trump's treasonous efforts. Ok, you tried that argument during the election and it didn't work. So what now - permanent division? - how can you possibly associate with and live alongside 50% of the Country whom you consider to be traitors?By the way, I don't respond the way I do to you because you're conservative. I respond as I do because you're literally the only person on here who's depraved enough to try to defend the anti-American assault on democracy waged by your boss and his compatriots following the 2020 election. If you had the balls to disown your boss and call him out for the treasonous bastard he is, I'd respond to you very differently. But you just double down on the criminality of MAGA and its erosion of the rule of law. I respect a ton of lawyers who see the world differently than I do. But if you think your boss should not spend the rest of his life in prison, I have nothing but contempt for you. You should not have the privilege of representing your clients before courts of law.
Oh?Many on your side think there is only one interpretation of the Trump team's post election efforts leading up to J6: TREASON.

As far as the Georgia action, the exact quote by Trump to Raffensperger in the context of a lengthy phone conversation was: "So look. All I WANT TO DO is this. I JUST WANT to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have...." You interpret Trump to be saying - you SOS illegally manufacture votes so that I can win the election. Trump's statement could certainly be interpreted differently to have a far less nefarious intention. We all know he talks in that bombastic manner all the time ("Russia if you're listening...") but you always literally interpret his words and immediately assign bad intent.
Plus, IF an action were to be brought it should have been by the DOJ since it was a federal election and NOT by some random County DA. That's one of the reasons our side thinks it was lawfare. And you see what you get: an out-of-her-league DA who completely screwed up the case by paying lover boy and then arguably lied about the relationship. Her office is now the laughingstock of the Country. Face plant.
By the way, I noticed nothing in your post defends the absolutely, unequivocally illegal and unethical actions Ray took in soliciting the fake electors. I guess you’ll overlook anything if the guy keeps signing your paychecks.

1. appeal to popularity is an argumentative fallacy. it is not actually relevant to this discussion whether or not voters agree (and you dont even know if they do).Many on your side think there is only one interpretation of the Trump team's post election efforts leading up to J6: TREASON. That's your interpretation but about 50% of the Country disagrees with you and re elected that very man to office.

I stopped reading here because I just don't agree.Many on your side think there is only one interpretation of the Trump team's post election efforts leading up to J6: TREASON. That's your interpretation but about 50% of the Country disagrees with you and re elected that very man to office.
i have the answer for you: ask the people who have spent their lives managing people in these situations. if the military thought that covid justified those actions, that should be the end of the story as far as you are concerned. you literally have no knowledge that could lead to an opposite conclusion. you do have never ending bullshit, i will give you that.I am questioning whether or not COVID justified the actions that were taken such as lockdowns, termination of employment, discharge from the military, disallowing of gathering in groups, attempted massive government overreach, etc.

While I believe you may be a little hard on Zen, that Cliff joke is funny.i have the answer for you: ask the people who have spent their lives managing people in these situations. if the military thought that covid justified those actions, that should be the end of the story as far as you are concerned. you literally have no knowledge that could lead to an opposite conclusion. you do have never ending bullshit, i will give you that.
the single worst thing about you as a poster, and it mirrors the single worst thing about the american public, is your assumption that your opinion is just as valid as anyone else's, that your opinion is important, and that you should be in the position of making judgments you cant possibly understand. stop. the. bullshit.
did you ever watch cheers? did you look at cliff clavin and say, "thats who i want to be when i grow up?" if you did, you succeeded dramatically and i salute you.
He isn’t speaking to MAGA. He is speaking directly to Trump. He is saying I will not bow down to you or take your shit.Mulino is shouting at clouds. He will learn MAGA is immune to facts. Trump lies, they believe it
Exactly. Lockdowns undoubtedly slowed the spread and, as a result, undoubtedly saved some number of lives. The question you brought up is whether or not the cure was worse than the disease. That's the ultimate question and everyone's going to have their opinion based on their individual experience, what information they read or heard and based on their politics.It's interesting how a simple google search brings back so many positive articles of the lockdowns helping to save lives.
Now, there is also information that talks about the cost, both financially and emotionally/mentally. Which I do see. So, I guess the question is was it worth it. I'm sure most opinions are strongly influenced by their personal experience.
For my family, we are still dealing with the mental impact to our youngest daughter who was sent home from school in the middle of 9th grade and never had a "Normal" year of high school. At the same time, I had no family or friends to die from COVID. (I did know people that died from COVID or COVID related illnesses.) All in all, I believe we had the best outcome possible based on the information we had at the beginning and how we worked to find a vaccine and keep our medical infrastructure from collapsing.
COVID-19 lockdowns significantly reduced transmission of invasive bacterial diseases
Study suggests COVID-19 lockdowns reduced the spread of deadly invasive bacterial diseases – potentially saving thousands of lives.
