Biden helped to create...Covid-19...!!!!

[Dukasaur]

I don't know what part you're finding hard to comprehend. I support everyone involved having a fair chance to speak. In order to be meaningful, rules need to be enforced. If people are not playing by the rules and interrupting others, they need to be told to STFU until it's their turn. For most people this is a really simple issue.

You have a contradiction above. You believe in having a fair chance to speak, but are for removing the avenue for which one would speak, should he say something you disagree with. Pick one or the other, because the two cannot go together. You say that Trump interrupts, but so does Biden. So according to you, both should have their method of delivery removed if they don't do what you want them to do. Authoritarian.

Duke wants a debate. That means each person gets time to try to explain their opinion.

Other wise it's a speech or a lecture and you only need one side present.

They are only proposing turning off the mic to force him to pause. It's different from taking his mic away.

Turning off his mic, forcing him to "pause" has the same effect as taking away someone's avenue to speak. Force.

I don't know what it is you aren't comprehending. When there is a debate among civilized persons, one speaks and makes his point while the other listens respectfully. Then it's the other one's turn, and the roles are reversed. The second speaks and makes his point while the first listens respectfully. It's not rocket science. It's a basic underpinning of civilized society. If you get a boorish thug like Trump who can't follow the rules on his own, the rules have to be enforced on him.

What if you had a baseball game where a team refused to leave the plate when it was the other team's turn to bat? You would try to reason with them at first, but ultimately if they refused to listen to reason and play by the rules, they would have to be ejected from the game.

So now Duk is calling America's first black president uncivilized? Classic dog whistle.

[riskllama]

lol, pretty amusing...

[emelar]

The USA with a population of 330,000,000 now has 207,000 deaths from Covid 19. How can you sugar coat THAT?

Easy. The UK, Spain, Belgium, etc. have more per capita deaths than the U.S. (And liberals have been saying for years we need to model our health system after Europe's.)

edit - sorry, just realized emelar is whacko

JUST like Trump. When somebody points out facts that disprove your position, you call them names, denigrate them and their intelligence and personalities, and attack them personally. It is a fascist characteristic and should be recognized as such..

[riskllama]

LOL, classic saxi...

The President made an address today from the South Balcony to give formal thanks to the nation for their well wishes. He said that, even in the hospital, he was watching down upon the American people. The thousands who turned out for the address were wearing MAGA hats and shirts of the new Army of Trump mass mobilization force.

[jonesthecurl]

Were they wearing masks, or is this a further example of evolution in action?

[riskllama]

ha, they should've waited - those shirts will be four for a dollar at the local thrift shop in a month or so.

[Dukasaur]

Once upon a time, the devoted enemies of democracy were the Brownshirts. 90 years later, the devoted enemies of democracy will become known as the Blueshirts.

[jonesthecurl]

And Hitler turned on the brownshirts when it was the right time to do so. Mercilessly.

[FrederickMahoney]

Everyone has a different way of thinking. Thus, probably, this man wanted to draw attention to the problem. But, the way, is a little rough. [Mod Edit (dk) Spam link removed

----How about this theory...
------Biden's Son works With CHINA...The Left hates Trump...The Left comes up with a plan to have CHINA infect the World ...I.E...The USA...with Covid-19...

Guess what??...wait for it...The Obama/Biden administration gave the Chinese lab in Wuhan... your not going to believe it,well as sorry as that administration was you might....It has now come to light...They gave millions to fund the lab's research...nice job jackasses It is o.k.to say that, it is their party's mascot... ....Well ,now we know who to blame for the Worldwide Pandemic......Biden... ...Not how I called it...But close enough....It is worse than when...in 1996,Bill Clinton sold( Got campaign funds from China)...And gave our Stealth Technology to the Chinese...To win re-election... They impeached him for a hummer job in the oval office,not for treason...Like he needed to commit treason to beat Dole...But this Worldwide treason by Biden/Obama...will be the forever worst in History ... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...

I know you don't like them fancy doctors, so none of this will make sense but...

Maybe, perhaps, is it possible, the lab was trying to make some medicine to stop the disease before it affected the whole world?

Sorry, I'll just stop now.

We won’t believe it... because you have the facts all jumbled.

That all said... I am generally opposed to the volume of funding we (the USA) provides to programs in foreign countries. So in generally I would oppose this... but the details need to be made a little. more clear. The problem is there is sooooo much money flowing out of the Federal Gov’t that it’s likely impossible to track it all to its’ final destination.

We should remember the good times of the Obama amateur presidency because we're about to experience it again!

One treasure from the heady days of the Obama Idiocracy ...

Fear and Loathing at Commerce: How a simple computer bug was mistaken for an act of war.

Somebody at the Department of Commerce opened the wrong e-mail attachment. After spending $2.7 million on a laughable campaign to physically destroy virtually every piece of information technology at the Economic Development Administration, the Commerce Department issued an audit reading, in effect, “Oops.” That report was hardly noticed among the competing evidence of Obama administration incompetence until it was highlighted by Peter Bright of Ars Technica. It’s worth paying attention to.

The trouble began in December 2011, when the Department of Homeland Security alerted Commerce that it had discovered a possible malware infection in the department, specifically within the network located within the Hoover Building. The EDA’s immediate reaction — based on absolutely nothing — was: cyberwar! According to the audit, the main concern among the EDA’s top brass was that the agency was under attack by a nation-state actor. There was no evidence to support that fear, and a good deal of evidence to the contrary, but the EDA basically went to whatever is the Commerce Department’s version of DEFCON 1.

Which is sort of funny, if you know anything about the organization. The EDA is on the short list for least important agency in the federal government.

But self-importance is epidemic in Washington. Rather than acknowledge the fact that the malware was almost certainly the result of somebody’s clicking on a link to an infected funny-cat video on a department computer, EDA proceeded as though it were facing the tip of the spear in a cyberwar attack by a foreign power. First it cut its computers off from the rest of the network in an effort to keep the malware from spreading, a defensible decision if one that was overcautious in light of the evidence, which pointed to nothing more than a common infection. What happened next, though, demonstrated fascinating ineptitude: Rather than simply identifying the infected computers and fixing them, the agency set about physically destroying its IT hardware — not just computers, but keyboards, printers, digital cameras, and other equipment entirely unrelated to the problem.

This being the federal government, contractors made a killing: EDA spent a mere $4,300 on the process of physically destroying $170,500 worth of computers and equipment, but spent another $1.4 million on advice from contractors, and another $1 million on temporary computers to use while it was destroying the ones it already had.

The only thing that stopped EDA from destroying its entire IT infrastructure was that it ran out of money to fund the demolition.

As the inspector general put it, there was “no evidence of a widespread malware infection,” while Commerce “propagated inaccurate information” and “did not follow the department’s incident-response procedures,” and the man in charge “did not have the requisite experience or qualifications.” The head of the EDA is one Matt Erskine, a Democratic time-server and campaign donor.

EDA did not respond to requests for comment on this piece. But maybe they were busy slashing the tires of government vehicles.

Foreign aid for medical/vaccine research is a win/win proposition.

In a connected world, if the work to stop a disease is done closer to the source, it has less time to build momentum before it breaks out to other areas.

Sorry, I'll just stop now.

But Duke, how would someone who does not go to the Doctor benifit if Wuhan lab had successfully wiped out Covid-19?

Wait are you suggesting a virus can be transmitted/transported across a countrys borders? Even if you build a wall?

-----------The disease didn't excist ,it was created after Obama/Biden gave them the money and left The White House...
