    The things you people try and exploit.

    Is it any worse than what you said about RBG on her death bed.

    You certainly thought political points where worth mocking the death of RBG.

    This. The pandemic has helped the popularity of other world leaders. When it cropped up, I was worried it would have a rally-around-the-flag effect that would guarantee Trump's re-election. But he screwed up the response so badly, he turned an opportunity into a threat. If anyone got a gift from God, it was Trump. But the more accurate thing to say would be that Trump is such an incredibly bad and unfit leader that he is forcing the country to reconsider.

    And I would honestly rather have this election without Covid, even aside from all the death it has wrought. I wanted the US to express a rejection of Trump and Trumpism despite a good economy and things going well. I don't want it to be said that America would have embraced Trumpism but for the pandemic. I want it debunked and disgraced and dismissed. (That said, American voters would probably have disappointed me again.)

    A man of integrity.


    BTW: Trump really did have a layup. His base will do whatever he wants them to do and if libs refused to wear masks the deaths that would happen no matter what could be blamed on them. He chose to ignore it and it was death toll headlines for 3 months straight.

    Call it a lesson, a test, whatever. But it seems if you are in the 1/3 that believe in this, and if trump loses his re-election and he sure looks like he will, he has failed the test.

    https://www.pewforum.org/essay/what-lessons-do-americans-see-for-humanity-in-the-pandemic/

    A large majority of U.S. adults (86%) say there is some kind of lesson or set of lessons for humankind to learn from the pandemic, and about a third of Americans (35%) say the lessons were sent by God.

    The best thing I can say about Jane Fonda's political opinions is that her t*** looked great in Barbarella.

    How come other leaders like Macron and Merkel have become much more popular AFTER the pandemic?

    How come our centre- right government has seen a +20 rise in the polls?

    Because Covid is a crisis not a tragedy like in the US.

    Don't blame your opponents for your own criminal incompetence that has lead 1/4 million innocents to their deaths.
    It is like a mass murderer is blaming the judge and the police for putting him behind bars.

    Jane Fonda is an idiot.

    Jane Fonda is not running for President.... she isn't a senator or congressional candidate.

    Jane Fonda is an 83 year old actress.... is this really worthy of a thread? Jane Fonda has always been radical.

    This is a Carl Herrera type thread if Carl was a right winger and we know @Carl Herrera is the greatest D&D thread starter so don’t even go there bud

    "Here, Jane. Come sit on this howitzer. You know, ha ha, we're nice to you, right?"

    "Oh, sure, I'll just sit on this weapon and smile standing next to a bunch of VC.....what can go wrong?"

    Jane Fonda isn't even polarizing. I'm on the left and I think she's put her foot in it on a number of occasions.

    But this is like Donald Trump who responds to every attack. Bette Midler criticizes him, he pounces on twitter. Some things don't really deserve the attention. (Yet here we are.)

    Isn't the important thing that Trump is guilty of criminal negligence and killed tens of thousands of Americans who might otherwise be alive, and in the process of trying to keep the stock market afloat with Norman-Vincent-Peale bull****, caused the economy to largely crater?

    She has always been the voice of the left - according to the right.

    So she has the same qualifications to be POTUS as Donald Trump.
