  4. https://www.aier.org/article/aier-hosts-top-epidemiologists-authors-of-the-great-barrington-declaration/ BREAKING NEWS: The world renowned experts in their fields, after a 4 day conference regarding COVID-19, declare that WE SHOULD ALL GO BACK TO LIVING NORMALLY, PRACTICING SIMPLE HYGIENE & STAYING HOME WHEN SICK (NO FACE MASKS OR SOCIAL DISTANCING) and only protect the most vulnerable populations with more protective measures! “From October 1-4, 2020, the American Institute for Economic Research had a remarkable meeting of top epidemiologists, economists, and journalists, to discuss the global emergency created by the unprecedented use of state compulsion in the management of the Covid-19 pandemic. The result is The Great Barrington Declaration, which urges a “Focused Protection” strategy.” “Schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching. Extracurricular activities, such as sports, should be resumed. Young low-risk adults should work normally, rather than from home. Restaurants and other businesses should open.

  6. If dad wins guaranteed he pardon's his son and then likely walks away with an undisclosed "illness."
  7. Still very isolated. Most of the country gets along just fine. Quit thinking what is shown on TV or social media is commonplace around the country. Its not. They just want us divided. The significant violence that seems related to politics/police is the same drug/territory problem area's in the big and inner cities. Liberals that run these places have created and maintained a hate that will be hard to ever change.
  8. You think it was legitimate in terms of it should have been done?
  9. I hope to see some "covey's" Saturday!
  10. Look at the old butt buddies jumping in.
  11. Bravo Mr. President! https://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2020-10-29/trump-rule-requires-health-plans-to-disclose-costs-up-front The Trump administration is trying to pull back the veil on health care costs to encourage competition, finalizing a requirement for insurers to tell consumers up front the actual prices for common tests and procedures. A related Trump administration price disclosure requirement applying to hospitals is facing a federal lawsuit from the industry, alleging coercion and interference with business practices. The idea behind the new regulations on insurers is to empower patients to become better consumers of health care, thereby helping to drive down costs.
  12. More "alpha" than you.
  13. Only to van driving RV pulling pussies like you.
  14. Its not just that. Polls show more American's identify as a R than D (yet very close) yet most polls poll 5-7% more D's than R's. Easy way to skew the results.
  15. More sick of hiding in their houses than Trump and many see Biden/Harris for what they are. I'd rather a President that's brash than one that's an idiot or as the English woman said "darling I'm much rather a President who grabs a woman by the pussy than one who is a pussy."
  16. None of my political Instagram meme's will embed anymore.
  17. Nope. Kiplinger was WAY off on the amount of 3rd quarter gain. Therein lies the discrepancy. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/20/the-gdp-report-next-week-will-likely-show-record-breaking-economic-growth-but-it-may-not-help-trump.html The Fed’s official forecast for this year is GDP to decline 3.7%, which would be its biggest single-year drop going back through at least World War II. In 2021, the estimate is for a gain of 4%, which, conversely, would be the biggest increase since 2000. https://www.kiplinger.com/economic-forecasts/gdp It will likely be 2022 before the economy returns to its level at the end of 2019. Expect 2020 GDP to decline 4.9%, with a 3.8% rise in 2021.
  18. If you can honestly look at the vast majority of polls demographics....no matter who you support you have to see the significant errors taking place. Most of them are polling registered dems at a much higher rate than what people claim or "poll" to be. This 5-6% error is actually a 10-12% swing (Take 5% off the D add 5% to the R).
  19. Yep....they've been on the rise.....I still feel Trump holds a significant enthusiasm lead. Part of Biden's enthusiasm is the people that hate Trump.....they don't even like Biden/Harris for a variety of reasons.
  20. We could see less than 5% decline from 2019 if we don't shut down the 4th quarter. Considering what has happened that's fucking amazing V shaped turn around.
  21. I have seen vastly increasing number of Biden signs. I'm still on the fence 50/50 with who will win. Honestly I wouldn't bet either way. If I pay attention to the details outside the polls its Trump all the way but even as skeptical as I am about polls you can't completely ignore them. Some of the outliers even though technically some are polls too that show a Trump victory. 1. Enthusiasm 2. GOP gains in registration in swing states 3. 56% of American's saying they are better off now than in 2016 4. Trumps approval #'s on Rasmussen DTP a incumbent has never lost and its not even close. 5. I think swing states like Wisconsin approve of the moves to open the economy back up more than the Biden approach. 6. Jobs have come back solidly. 7. Economy has come back solidly. 8. Rare for an incumbent to lose with UE #'s where they are. Strange thing is I could see either candidate winning by 70+ EC votes. Has that ever happened before?
  22. This isn't anything new. From Corps to foreign allies they all play both sides of the fence during an election that could go either way.
  23. If Trump wins the polling industry is done as a legitimate business. That alone would be worth it.
