[mack341]

Bernie is finished, America rejected his socialist policies.

has Biden got a chance in your view Slotplayer, can he win enough states from Trump?

Or do you see a similar result as 2016 when hillary ran?

Nobbing Playford's Crotch, what else

Bernie is finished, America rejected his socialist policies.

That is true but now your buddy is facing Biden. Good luck!

Yeah, but he was right about it being ‘the China virus’ or is that racist, just like the ‘Spanish flu’
I’ll bet my right testicle he wins 2020, the world has had enough of sjw nonsense and democrat bumfluffery.
hence having such a superb leader like trump.

Are you trying to apply for a boychoir or something? Well if you don't like your right testicle then suit yourself!

Well that’s a bit strong, especially in light of the virus we have, how many viruses you want to catch mate?..

Use my left then.
and I wasn’t aware I’m being interviewed for a position, if I am then it would be advocate of fair play to streamers.
regarding trump, he’s smashed 2020, Biden or creepy joe hasn’t a hope.
silly old sod Bernie is drinking warm milk reading Jeremy corbyns guide of how to lose at the biggest rate in over 50 years.
stay safe mate and well away from this Chinese virus, it’s most unpleasant.

I think I'll be fine. We finns know how to do social distancing. You better stay safe too so you'll see the results in November!

That's kind of a funny statement, considering that Trump might give $1,000 to citizens over 18 years. Not socialist, heh?

The COV19 is playing in to Biden's Hands because his campaign managers want to keep him off the campaign trail due to all the senior moments. Plus he still has to get through the the convention speech in July and then the debates with T.

But I think T will etch out a win.

 

[slotplayer]

That's a false comparison.

 

[goatwack]

We're past the point of Trump being praised for anything at this juncture, it wouldn't matter what amount he gave them, it can be twisted any which way, like "It's bribery" and so forth

But surely better to give them the $1000, than...... not?

But until it actually happens, it'll just be talk and an unfulfilled pledge

Something cheery for you to wake up to Harry. Trump is talking about sticking $1,000 into every American citizen over 18's pocket in order to help them through the coming weeks. Not a loan-giving.
It makes a huge change from spending billions bailing out big business and I suspect that it will go down so well with the American public that if there was any doubt that he would win the next election before this then its now game set and match to Trump IMO

Nah mate, nothing is decided yet.

But you see, slotplayer is the best example. Rejecting socialist policies but then welcoming government handouts from his Dear Leader which is the most socialist thing there is.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

And how long will $1000 last? 1 or 2 weeks? Remember most workers in the US don't get anything when they lose their job. So they have no income whatsoever. Sure, $1K will help but it is more like a straw fire than anything else. Enacting proper unemployment and health care insurance would take care of that, but then, hey, that is socialism again....bad, bad.....

FYI, the Spanish Flu emanated from the USA!!!!! And they covered it up as long as possible.

It received the name because the Spanish were the first that decided to speak up.

 

[Playford7]

This is a time when socialism is needed and is being provided. As a die hard capitalist I can accept that.
But this isn’t a normal every day situation the world finds itself In.
Granted I’ve squirrelled away a few bob, that said when I’m offshore I pay 40% tax, so I’d like to have a few quid back in a time I’d need.
Thing is many many won’t of paid a penny into this... I’m due a rebate, just less than 3k I was told, don’t get me wrong it’ll be handy, but upon speaking to HMRC earlier there is a massive backlog, as I’m ok financially (not great) I said it wasn’t urgent..
What about those who pay nothing into the system yet demand the most out of it?..
Means testing on earnings and national insurance and income I’ve always thought should be a factor on what your entitled to in times of need, we are not all the same, not equal and all contribute into society differently.

Geez, can't you see where this is going?

Give the US population some crumbles for them to cheer and be quiet so he can give about 4-5x as much to corporations. Was the same with the tax cut.... Mr T's next big con!

No it’s not hypocrisy. What you pay in you should be means tested into what you get out.
We all earn differently, id not want to share my 40% tax with someone whom hasn’t paid a penny into the system.
Also a situation like this has to use socialism, to say any other is piffle harry.

Nooooooooo why meeeeee and my quote

The llama thing was taken well out of context. Fake news

Oh yes, it is hypocrisy.

BTW, taxes are not a socialist invention. So there's that!

Trump will get it in the neck no matter what he does such is the media bias against him.

Try typing "Trump News" in Google searches. Page after page of anti Trump. I got to the 4th page without finding one reference to the $1,000 givaway. Why? Because they would rather it be Hillary giving it.

 

[Playford7]

Oh yes, it is hypocrisy.

Roll the ‘harry eyes’ all you like mate.
You didn’t address anything I actually said.
Also trump hasn’t paid me to post this.

Oh yes, I fully addressed it. Not my problem if you do not understand it. But I'll repeat it one more time.

TAXES are not exactly a socialist invention!

You can also go back to 2009 and see how the republicans resisted any kind of bailout package from Obama and what they were saying at the time. But hey, always fine when they do it.

 

[mack341]

Oh yes, it is hypocrisy.

BTW, taxes are not a socialist invention. So there's that!

On the IRS headquarter's building it's chiselled "Taxes are what we pay for a civilized society.”



I think it's true but there also needs to be a saying regarding the tax money wasted by govt, which then doesn't go where it's most needed. And with the violent crime rate soaring we're becoming less civilized.

edit: Also the big firms and billionaires go to great lengths to dodge paying their fair share.
