    I think that poster is the one that motivated me to learn how to use the ignore feature.

    The degree of ignorance constantly displayed on forums is astonishing.

    There was a bounty on Maduro's head.
    A group of INDEPENDENT mercenaries decided to go for it.

    What part of "It has absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump" can't these ignorant people understand?

    MEANWHILE, in important news......
    Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats impart unprecedented Powers to Nancy Pelosi that has never been done in American history.
    New rule gives dangerous and outrageous powers to Democrats.
    https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/rep...y-votes-is-outrageous-increases-pelosis-power

    Americans continue to show indifference to each, deeper transgression.
    Obviously, this won't end well.

    "All that was required for Nancy Pelosi to prevail was for ~good men~ to do nothing"

    I'm very much a capitalist, but what we have today in this country is capitalism run amok to the point of fascism.

    Large corporations with a history of mismanagement being bailed out by the taxpayers is not really capitalism, it is fascism. Now that it's been going on for several decades, it's safe to say we have a fascist situation.

    I can't totally disagree, and I agree there are serious problems. And I strongly believe in free market capitalism.
    Some corporations are getting so large and powerful they can literally buy politicians and gain undue influence over governance.
    This needs to be put in check, but instead it runs rampant.

    Not only large corporations being bailed out....but horribly mismanaged STATES as well. States that bend over backwards to over compensate government employees
    and lavish them with pensions and benefits that can't possible be afforded. Then get bailed out by taxpayers.
    To me, that's even worse than corporate welfare.

    Once corruption sets up it is extremely difficult to go back to a fair and honest system.
    That said, corruption does not need to be fostered by big business. It is a natural product of human greed.
    It will occur even in the absence of corporations and their large and complex structure.

    And so it begins.......

    I've been saying this for 2 months now.
    But NO...the Fear Mongers said I was so wrong. Are you listening ronv, lesh etc?

    Colorado amends coronavirus death count - says fewer have died of COVID-19 than previously reported
    https://www.foxnews.com/us/colorado-lowers-coronavirus-death-count

    Before the dust settles, the ACTUAL COVID-19 death rate will be far FAR less than the fear mongers claimed.
    But then I've maintained that for 2 months now.

    Well, that depends on what you mean by "working out". Their death rate is higher than ours.

    A new Swedish coronavirus antibody study suggests the herd-immunity strategy isn’t working.

    “The study, based on 1,100 tests across Sweden and carried out by the country’s public-health agency, found that just 7.3% of people in Stockholm had developed antibodies, Reuters reported on Wednesday.”​

    So, with 389/M dead, they are 1/10th the way there?

    One hypothesis: Most people defeat the disease swiftly via the innate immune system, before there’s even time to build antibodies. Are those people immune to reinfection? I’d guess probably — maybe in some sense they were already “immune” since their bodies were capable of fighting it off quickly without illness — but who knows?

    T cells found in COVID-19 patients ‘bode well’ for long-term immunity.

    “Immune warriors known as T cells help us fight some viruses, but their importance for battling SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has been unclear. Now, two studies reveal infected people harbor T cells that target the virus—and may help them recover. Both studies also found some people never infected with SARS-CoV-2 have these cellular defenses, most likely because they were previously infected with other coronaviruses.”​

    Given the draconian shutdown, the DNC has shown complete disregard to the nation and citizens and I can't believe Democratic voters continue to forgive these transgressions.
