Looks like India is going to be a disaster.


Climatic conditions & urbanization etc... Too much factors, must wait to know.

Your intellectual laziness is cringeworthy. Literally nothing you said accurately characterizes the situation.




Well, maybe you should fill us in on the "situation", being as how you are attacking Void's points with nothing other than ad hominem.

Why would we waste our time on someone like you? You just said that Cuomo is asking for higher amounts because he's pissed about Trump's tax cut LOL

You also think that it's ok for the President to abandon citizens because certain people were mean to him.

I'll say it again, because my previous post has been buried by now.

I don't think void is dumb. I think he's solidly above average, and probably a decently hard worker, but he is mentally lazy. He takes ridiculous shortcuts when taking positions on things and as a result he says really stupid shit that refutes what he said just a few posts before. If he developed better mental habits and stopped automatically assuming people he disagrees with are stupid or misinformed he would go a lot further in life, and in his conversations on this forum.

Citizens in blue states. The President is in charge of ALL American citizens. He is supposed to be above it all no matter what.

As for Pelosi being partisan, why should I care as long as something gets done? I already said it was a dumb move to put in all the extra shit that she wanted in phase 3 but everyone got over it because they are big boys and girls. Politics isn't for the thin-skinned.

The president being responsible for things is only true when it's a Democrat. When a Republican is in he's only responsible for his supporters.

Also, Pelosi basically committed treason by putting extra things in a bill and then withdrawing them within 24 hours. That's basically the same thing as bombing pearl harbor.

Instead of dick riding me try to stick to the discussion? Feel free to point out mistakes in the math or logic and make counterpoints, otherwise sit down and shut up.


You're using a rudimentary static model that doesn't take into consideration untested individuals who have COVID-19, how long people need to be on a ventilator, etc. The experts are using more sophisticated, accurate models to determine policy.

The bizarre thing is, it didn't used to be this way. I always felt like GWB had our back even if his administration had several fuck ups. I never doubted that Bush wanted to protect our nation, educate our children, save America from financial collapse, etc. Chris Christie did the right thing by coordinating with Obama during a massive hurricane even though it helped kill Romney's chances.

Yeah Bush wasn't always competent and was easily manipulated, but he was a good person. I never thought GWB was dangerous or wasn't willing to listen to people who were more knowledgeable than him.

Really the Republican party didn't stop being serious until right at the end of his presidency. I remember McCain shutting down a supporter who was on the mic saying something like "Obama is a socialist Kenyan and we need to stop him", then the tea party got a foothold and they surged right so fast that by 2012 McCain was being called a RINO.
