    Washington State is the only west coast state that is a net contributor. If the coast was roped off, Washington State would have to support Oregon and California.

    Well, I can unload the 10 round in just over 3 seconds.

    but I prefer emptying 30 rounds in less than 5 seconds.

    Democrats do not have an open borders policy any more than Republicans have a pro-school shooting policy.

    Aside from yanking the chain of a couple of tools on this forums system I am not all that wedded to the notion that the Corona Virus problems inside the United States have got much, if anything, to do with the political Left's insistence -- via the court systems -- on keeping the border as porous as possible FOR political reasons at this nation's expense. But logic insists that as this pandemic takes a bite out of Mexico and Central and South America, many infected people -- since the incubation period is so very lengthy -- are eventually going to start entering the United States from that direction.

    Conservatives -- not Republicans -- wanted the border controlled because it represents unnecessary problems regarding any number of issues. Republicans, on the other hand -- in contrast to conservatives -- are as much for open borders as the political Left, which is one reason why Republicans generally despise Trump. Republicans want open borders for cheap labor whereas the political Left want it because they have convinced themselves that after they finish politically indoctrinating newcomers, they are looking at future Dem Party loyalist voters.

    Maybe you should take your own advice.
    It was Jan 31 when trump proclaimed a travel ban and quarantine for people returning from China. Do you Remember what you were on about that day?

    WATCH LIVE! Day 10 of trumps senate impeachment trial.

    You didn’t concern yourself with the people of China or any spread of the virus until you were told you could attack trump with his comments about the outbreak going away. And that was on Feb 18. That’s 2 and a half weeks of not giving a fudge. Your very first post on the corona virus was used to bash trump. It isn’t difficult to understand why people like me think people like you would like nothing more than for the death toll to rise just to have some political hay. It’s how you roll. You damn sure don’t give a rip about the virus or the people affected.
    You yourself could be a better American.

    Not very infectious? It is very, very contagious. Somewhere around 2-4x more contagious than the flu.

    Wont kill you? Mortality rates overall is ~2% and goes upwards to 20% for folks over the age of 80 with any of a number of co-factors.

    Yes, that is the realistic nightmare scenario. Venezuela is balanced on a knife edge. The surrounding countries, poor as they are, have taken in massive numbers of refugees, relative to their population sizes. The obvious place for desperate people to go would be here. I can see us sending soldiers down to the border and things getting ugly.


    The Tucker Carlson crowd, which represents a large chunk of Trumpism, if you go by Tucker's popularity, is very much worried about "demographic changes". I've watched Tucker's show and when he debates people like Cenk from Young Turks (I've followed him since his Crossfire days. I've always kind of lucked Tucker, although he's weird now). He thinks the demographic changes going on are happening too quickly, are a shock to the system, and need to slow down. In fairness, he has given pragmatic reasons for wanting the wall- terrorism, economics, disease, etc. But they seem to me to pale in comparison compared to the fear of dislocation experienced by people whose communities are being demographically transformed.

    Should the people in those communities have a say in that transformation?

    I am not certain that one is allowed to tell the political Left such things. But thanks for doing so anyway.

    Yes, but the only goal in a pandemic situation (besides the obvious of "dont die") is to "flatten the curve" of the medical needs so that when the people who do need medical attention are more likely to receive it without drastically overburdening the healthcare infrastructure.

    You want me to be a better American by what? Going back in time and praising trump when he imposed travel restrictions? Refusing from criticizing him for his mistakes today?

    **** that. My duty as an American citizen is to hold that orange ****ing moron to a higher standard.

    Yeah, and evidently you have made it your life’s work. Too bad your higher standards are so hypocritical, else they might actually be interesting to read but unfortunately they are carbon copies of the media issued orange man bad drone. To add to that, your knowledge of the rage of the day is exactly the same age as the article you are raging about.

    I make no efforts to hide the fact that I hate that lying orange ****ing moron and I will always view his actions and statements through that prism.

    The threat of this virus is significant and when he or his supporters call any aspect of the virus a hoax, politicize it by attacking Democrats, or contradict health experts about the virus - then he has deserved the wrath of millions of Americans.

    Do you understand that some people might question your motives based on the thread crownline found of yours from Jan. 30 ? I won't pretend to know your true motives but that post is atleast somewhat damaging

    You mean to a higher standard than the Left ever held Obama to?
    Flashback: Barack Obama Waited Until “Millions” Infected and 1,000 Americans Dead Before Declaring H1N1 a National Emergency

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...d-before-declaring-h1n1-a-national-emergency/

    Obama waited and waited and did nothing constructing as thousands of citizens became infected. Trump on the other hand started reacting to the Corona Virus danger immediately; meaning that Trump is the better president. The open border? Leftist activist judges won't let Trump do what needs to be done.

    I am aware of your hatred of trump, you absolutely reek of it, but that is all it is, is hatred. It has you so spun up that you ignored your own sense and intuition and pushed the whole Jussie hoax as far as you could. You wanted that story, that rope, those MAGA hats to be real so damn bad that you ended up looking foolish.
