its not everything i agree with him on. but he didn't come up with that idea. it not something anyone would want to try... it should remain in theory. problem is no one understands this pandemic. and people are getting tired and depressed just sitting at home. just like the flu people should have to adapt. corona virus will not go away.
I guess we should not wonder how people would feel when they fall ill and there's no hospital to treat them in or if they die and are stuck in a box and stuck in the ground or cremated. Nor should we consider the feelings of their survivors who lost them because we considered their "tired and depression just sitting at home", dying, since they can't find things to do like simply wear a mask.

Yes, we will adapt to a virus that cripples 8m people and kills over 200k of them but we have not yet agreed the right things were done to reduce those numbers yet nor are we prepared to give up trying under a more competent and less egotistic president.

BREAKING: The U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has struck down Minnesota's seven-day extension for absentee ballots, saying all absentee ballots must now be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 3.

Mailin ballots should arrive by election day as well. I mean they have more than a month to mail in their ballots. Some states want 7 to 9 days after election like what the F?
Let's say candidate A is leading by 5000 after election day... They have 7 to 9 days to magically produce 6000 votes to take the election.

All these are recipe for election fraud. They should avoid it.
I agree, "what the F?" Thankful that U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals struck it down.

That's what I have been saying all along isn't it? Both rep and dems are cheating. Instead of state officials to make sure they make the system hard to cheat.. They are making it easy for cheating to occur. My argument all along. For some reason some people think everything I say is all about trump.

Trump made a statement about the mailin ballot. Some true some unproven or unknown... But every argument I have made about this is not about trump, or dems or rep... It's about safeguarding the system.

All this while it seems like you agree with what I am saying. Just like anyone who cheats in an exam... He is supposed to be disqualified unless he didn't directly do the cheating. Some one can cheat for him. But this case it seems he has a hand in it so he should be disqualified. The article says he won't be competing again I think.
In one sense, you are saying, "improve the voting system", but in another you are parroting trump which makes it difficult to separate the two.

By the next election, improvements will put voting by email on the card along with vote by txt. Don't be surprised if people will be voting through their instagram and facebook and twitter accounts even, and tiktok are yelling antidemocraticism in court. Its called progress, the bane of those who would conserve the status quo they benefit from.

Everyone can't vote in person. And if they do want their vote to count and not be rejected, they just need to fill out the voting docs correctly. Same applies to voting in person. If you fill it out wrong it wont count, so those 'blacks' you mention should acquire education to vote properly.

Not all vote innovations are for cheating. Some, many, most, in fact, are to increase the voting base by making it easier to vote. State officials should just do their jobs better and make it harder to cheat.

benalvino2:
I did not get your point. If you want to talk about voter surpression we can be specific on the case them discuss it.

Even my arguments here urging people to vote in person is to make sure everyone avoids any problem that may arise.

Mailin ballots and absentee ballots gets rejected a lot and most times from blacks or first time users. Don't you think that is a form of voter suppression? The moment y'all remove Trump out of the equation you will get what I am saying.

So far all I am saying is this system is filled with controversy, people can easily cheat so state officials should be removing mechanism or adding mechanism that makes it easy for both side to cheat. If you don't agree with me I don't know what to say to you again.

But if trump wins then the elections went smooth and then mail-in discussion comes to an end..

I want to understand how people who have lost jobs because of corona virus will vote for Biden.

Most countries if not all have sporadic steady and rising cases of the virus..
Americans have been locked down in most states, moreso those run by democrats. Anyone who has ever held a job does not like the idea of sitting at home , surviving on stimulus reliefs.
These idle people know that it's not Trump who has ordered them confined within the homes. They know that states were largely left to determine containment measures with advice from CDC. To keep blaming Trump for their being locked down is disingenuous.

Joe is promising extra strict lockdowns to people who have shuttered their businesses and also those who lost livelihoods.

Joe is promising that overtaxing eg Bezos and Walmart will narrow the gap between dirt poor sonoflincoln and Jeff Bezos. And to enforce a minimum 15& wage. They will simply fully automate their production , reducing human input to the minimum.
You can not understand that some people are at home now with an empty seat at the dinner table because of trumps ineptitude in handling the trumpvirus? I guess he is accused of saying he wouldn't be prosecuted if he shot someone on Fifth Avenue but I'm certain you'd vote Biden if the empty seat was at your dinner table.

I am not saying they shouldn't vote but it's only people who have intent to cheat will remove all measures that prevents cheating.
You conveniently close your eye to those who have used those measures to cheat by depriving people of their right to vote. Or can it not be said that those measures have been used to cheat?

If you're Trump or an average American, will you trust a woman from corrupt Nigeria with such a sensitive office or a South Korean, a woman from an ally and friendly country?

SK and US have strong ties and it's no rocket science that they will stick with them at this time.

Ngozi will still win though whether US supports her or not.
I will hopefully educate myself so I never have an average brain and would therefore not just ignorantly claim a whole bunch of people of a particular race, tribe or skin colour are corrupt.

Foreign Affairs › Re: China Replies Trump Over Threat To Cut Off Ties by budaatum: 2:33am On Oct 24, 2020
Shormiey:
China and the US are better off cooperating to end the pandemic for the sake of reviving the economy and rebooting industrial production, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on Friday.

Zhao said this at a media briefing while commenting on U.S. President Donald Trump’s warning that bilateral ties might be halted over Beijing’s alleged responsibility for unleashing the coronavirus.

On Thursday, Trump said in an interview with Fox News that the US might cut all ties with China in light of Beijing’s coronavirus-related policies.

“The stable development of U.S.-Chinese relations is in fundamental interest of people from both countries and is also favourable for global peace and stability.

“China and the United States should now strengthen cooperation in combating the COVID-19 epidemic in order to defeat the coronavirus as soon as possible, cure patients, resume production, and develop the economy,” the spokesman said.

Trump has repeatedly claimed, although with no evidence provided, that the virus that caused deaths, lockdowns, and economic standstill all around the world had in fact been developed in a lab in Wuhan, a Chinese city in the Hubei province from where the first reports of an abnormal respiratory disease came last December.

The U.S. president has threatened China with consequences if its responsibility for unleashing the virus gets proven.

Asked by the host on Thursday to comment on a statement by one of the U.S. senators that the U.S. could stop issuing visas to Chinese students in retaliation, Trump said that his country could possibly go as far as cutting all bilateral ties altogether.

China has so far consistently denied the accusations, stressing that its policies were transparent throughout the outbreak.

The Chinese flooded the power market with gadgets that work when new. No timeframe guarantee that Manufacturer Company will be in existence and or that thereis No way of suing them while they are there

That's why I like Trump. They play hard, he also does.

Cheap can be expensive in the long run.
Those Chinese! They put this their Chinese juju in their "gadgets that work when new" to make everyone buy from Walmart!

By the way, Nigeria, I find, suffers from "gadgets that work when new". I reckon they send us gadgets that barely pass quality control while the best goes premium. A similar product in the West lasts longer and costs more even after discounting tax.

Cognitive Dissonance

In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance occurs when a person holds contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values, and is typically experienced as psychological stress when they participate in an action that goes against one or more of them. According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent. The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein they try to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort.

They don't even know what conservatism is about.

They are just hypocrites blinded by sentiments especially religion ignorance and you wonder why many Africans end up electing bad leaders when you see Africans supporting a man like Trump because they have been brainwashed to do so you wonder why Africa remains the way it is.
"Hypocrites" implies they know what they do. Like trump, they never read the Book but get their religion from Fox News and a pastor called Qnon, so my replaced word is more accurate, I think, for they really know not that they put the noose round their own necks.

Buda cheesy I always enjoy your sarcasm cool
You really ought not to. It stems from my disbelief, despite the evidence, that some could be so brainless and think we all are brainless to believe a word trump crafts. His equivalent would be a tribal Nigerian President, and if a Yoruba, the rally call would be "Lock up all non-Yorubas", and his supporters would be the equivalent of Yoruba almanjeris. I see them in my nightmare doing "fine people on both sides", and ANLMs (All Nigerians Lifes Matter) antifaing with superultra Ifa reinforced Amotekuns. Imagining such future existence shows how diligently we must be for Nigeria's next election.

Ah, Screw all that! If it weren't that it seriously mattered, trump makes good telly especially now Covid19 has shut down studio production. Succession would have been great fun to watch in these trump dying days especially if they cameoed him. Good thing is he's provided material for years to come. Telly will be trumpified and we'll be in stiches laughing for decades so long as he serves one term.

Just like his many failed businesses and charity, Donald Trump is plunging the GOP into heavy debt

How Trump plowed through $1 billion, losing cash advantage

President Donald Trump’s sprawling political operation has raised well over $1 billion since he took the White House in 2017 — and set a lot of it on fire.

Trump bought a $10 million Super Bowl ad when he didn’t yet have a challenger. He tapped his political organization to cover exorbitant legal fees related to his impeachment. Aides made flashy displays of their newfound wealth — including a fleet of luxury vehicles purchased by Brad Parscale, his former campaign manager.

Meanwhile, a web of limited liability companies hid more than $310 million in spending from disclosure, records show.

there is currently a vaccine that is coming out and the government would most likely roll out for free, how do you pay for it taxes. And I am damn sure the taxes are not up to THAT 62%.
