So poor that they got one of their basic human nessicities taken care of which is food. Overweight and obesity more likely a problem for low income people, if we should call them that since I see low income as people that can barely get any food in developing countries. I guess poor for America.

Those fast food places and food desserts are providing them enough calories that they can store those extra calories and hibernate for the upcoming winter. More calories then our ancestors ate to survive and more then in developing countries.
It's weird that poor people are overweight and rich people are thin. Oh, how things have changed compared to the past.

But of course I'm just messing around. We should make healthy food more accessible to low income places and counteract food desserts.

While you're right and the USA has some of the world richest poor people it's not just the lower class that have problems with obesity. It's true most celebrities and uber rich people know how to eat well and reap the benefits of exercise, but the majority of the citizens in the USA are either overweight, obese or morbidly obese. It doesn't help that we have the Liberals claiming with their junk science that diet and exercise isn't all you need to control to keep a healthy weight level, but it's actually that simple. Just find a person who isn't fat as fuck as ask them how they do it.

The thing is a lot of these inner city ghettos are close to grocery stores that sell healthy foods, it's just the people don't want to eat it. They rather not cook for themselves and their families and eat shitty ass food and then blame everyone else for their weight problem. Fuck. They basically blame everyone else for all of their problems as lack of personal responsibility is a shining trait in these projects and ghettos.

he still behaved in a very inappropriate way around someone many years his minor.

If she's 18 or over and willing then I frankly don't give a shit. She invited him to her hotel room for a drink.

I find it offensive when people make out that men who are too old, ugly or poor to approach a woman just because it reduces her value.

I don't like rudy and she is perfectly within her rights to not be interested in him. But it's kinda cruel to go "look at the pretty girl, she wants to go to her hotel room with you" and then make fun when he gets the idea they wanted him to get.

Meanwhile, back in the real world...

GOP Suddenly Drops Election Lawsuits In Four Battleground States Amid Recent Court Failures
https://www.forbes.com/sites/alison...-georgia-michigan-amid-recent-court-failures/
Three Wisconsin voters, backed by conservative group True the Vote, voluntarily dismissed a lawsuit that sought to block the state from certifying votes in several Democratic-leaning counties, claiming their votes had been diluted because of alleged voter fraud and “illegal” votes in those counties.
The lawsuit—in which the plaintiffs admitted they did not yet have any concrete evidence of illegal votes and the evidence would be “shortly forthcoming”—was dropped immediately before the case was supposed to be heard in court.
Similar lawsuits in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, in which voters in each state also tried to exclude votes that were cast in certain Democratic-leaning counties, were also dismissed by the plaintiffs Monday morning.
:rofl2:

Were these lawsuits brought on by citizens or by Trump himself? There's both normal people and Trump filing lawsuits. Either way each suit that doesn't go through points to Biden as a winner. So far I haven't seen any evidence of massive voter fraud so unfortunately we're going to be headed into dark times with Biden as our President. It will probably get worse than when Obama was President. Obama stoked the race wars and brought our GDP down to record lows, plus we lost all sorts of jobs under him. It wasn't until Trump until we saw our economy recover. It's just too bad the entire world's economies have been hit hard by peoples irrational fears regarding the Chinese Wuhan Coronavirus. Either way, if Biden does win when the electoral college votes next month we'll be headed into more dark times.

Insert the 50 posts I've made about Biden not being able to do anything except sign presidential orders, which might be overtaken in 4 years again. Meaning, no structural change. Just 'flair', and policies likely for the rich donor class who doesnt necessarily care which side they support, and therefore have goodwill going on both sides.

Biden has pretty much axed climate action (retrofitting buildings is the least 'unsettling' way to do anything about it, and not very effective as a result. No tax increases were promised for people up to 400k of yearly income (as supposed to 200k when Obama ran). And his chief of staff is a flipping industry lobbyist:


(Jimmy Dorr is a bad source for anything (very conspiracy prone), but for reading out politico articles - that doesnt matter.)

As a result (heavy democrate losses in the house, very likely loss of the Senate)- nothing much changes in terms of deep structural policy changes.

Thats the thing I tried to get you to understand for probably the last 200 days. If all you are ever doing is looking at the figureheads, you will not understand much.

In fact, you probably will 'rectify' any choice - post facto, based on if 'the figurehead you liked' has made it or not. If you do that, you arent clued in - but certainly in the majority amongst peers. And you will deny, that this is how your thoughtprocess goes, until you are dead. Because admitting that would mean admitting that you are essentially without position, until someone tells you what to believe in. And that would mean...

So no - you believe in one person to be good. And defend all their actions until the last possible point. While politics is something entirely different. (Well the non populist part.)

Fact check:
  1. There's no reason to think we will have "dark times" when Biden is president.
  2. There's no reason to think things will "get worse than when Obama was president."
  3. Obama did not stoke race wars.
  4. Obama brought the GDP way up, not down.
  5. There were job gains under Obama, not losses.
  6. The rate of economic improvement did not change under Trump (pre-COVID).
  7. Including Trump's ineffective response to COVID-19, we saw and continue to see economic disaster under Trump.
  8. Economies wouldn't have been hit as hard if there had been an effective response to COVID-19 from the Trump administration.
  9. It's not a matter of "if" Biden will win. Biden is the president-elect.

As a racist like you obviously are, it must be terrible having a president that doesn't support white supremacy groups.

On February 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced an official name for the disease that is causing the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak. The new name of this disease is coronavirus disease 2019, abbreviated as COVID-19. In COVID-19, 'CO' stands for 'corona,' 'VI' for 'virus,' and 'D' for disease.

You've had 279 days to learn the name of the virus, but your racist mind won't let you.

There's both normal people and Trump filing lawsuits.

No "normal" people are filing lawsuits & I don't think Trump is personally filing them either.

There's that patented Trump administration efficiency for ya. Fifteen days probably wasn't long enough to begin with, and plenty of states just ignored the lockdown altogether.
How long would we have to violate the 3rd Amendment, then?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Fact check: We did flatten the curve in a lot of areas. It's the primary reason why the death rate has fallen.
Does this mean we can go back to normal? Don't say that we have to wear masks until the death rate hits 0, because that's never gonna happen.

You apparently don't know what the Third Amendment is, since it's irrelevant to the conversation.

It's a mistake to go back to normal without a vaccine. So, you should continue to physical distance, wash your hands, and wear a mask.

Not at all...because no soldiers would be quartering in private homes without the owner's consent. :wtf:

So another five years. You must have a lot of patience.

Fifteen days to flatten the curve has lasted 279 days?!

18th March was 15 days to flatten the curve. That is 243 days ago & the curve was flattened.

If the idiots would wear face masks rather than ye-hawing about civil liberties then less people would die, but they'd rather die than admit Trump is wrong.

There are things more important than life. Liberty is definitely one of them.

You're right, it's actually the first amendment that lockdowns violate.

The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Lockdown doesn't affect your freedom of speech. First amendment is pretty outdated and out of touch, they didn't have zoom when they wrote it. Worshiping some ancient piece of text is brain dead.

There are things more important than life. Liberty is definitely one of them.

Since when is saving lives "oppressive"?

liberty: the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behaviour, or political views.

You really need to grow up. It's no different to seat belts, speed limits & age restriction on drinking alcohol.

  1. It probably won't be five years until we have a vaccine available to the general public.
  2. I have the patience to wear a mask for five years because, like, it's not a hard thing to do, and I care about the lives of other human beings.

It's a fucking mask. You also can't talk about freedom when you prioritize not wearing a mask on your delicate little face over the freedom of people to not catch COVID-19 from assholes like you. I don't think you understand what liberty is.

That seems like an awfully big stretch as well, which is probably why nobody's attempted to bring that argument to court. The purpose of lockdowns is to save lives, and thus they don't violate any part of the constitution. Protecting its citizenry is one of the primary functions of government, so allowing infections and deaths to spike without putting any new safety measures in place or providing any financial relief to the American people is paramount to dereliction of duty. Trump is a traitor and so is any Republican still backing him.
