Trump - 4 more years of this at least...

[sugilite:Me]

All of Trump’s Kiwibiker fan girl club are in tears right now.

How could it be that Trump contracted the “Chinese Virus”?

Thought it was a hoax?

Maybe it was Antifa that secretly infected him?
Or a Democrat?
Or maybe it was a black man?

Await for the fan girls conspiracy theories.

I have a theory!

[Dean]

I have a theory!

This is getting interesting...

[Laava]

Apparently it is "Official" ... they both have it.

You don't have to be "Close" to catch it ... just near enough to breath the same air the other did.

Hahahahahahahaha! Priceless!

I am not sure why trump would be worried its just like the flu and a hoax plus he's the healthiest ever president.

Donald Trump has "extraordinary" stamina and physical strength and would be the healthiest person ever elected president, his doctor said in a statement released Monday.
Dr. Harold Bornstein, who has been Trump's personal physician since 1980, said that "over the past 39 years, I am pleased to report that Mr. Trump has had no significant medical problems."
The physician said that Trump has lost 15 pounds in the past year, has never had cancer or hip, knee or shoulder replacements and "has no history of ever using alcohol or tobacco products."
"If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency," Bornstein said in the statement released by Trump's campaign.
Bornstein said Trump was recently given a medical evaluation that only showed "positive results," with his blood pressure clocking in at 110/65. Trump's lab test results were “astonishingly excellent,” he said

Don't worry though its the police or the military's fault he has caught it.

Trump said it was a difficult for him and those close to him to avoid the virus since so many others, including members of the military, try to interact with them.
"It's very hard when you're with soldiers, when you are with airmen, when you're with the Marines, and the police officers, I'm with them so much. And when they come over to you, it's hard to say, 'stay back, stay back.' You know, it's a tough kind of a situation, it's a terrible thing," he said.

a cynical person might think its a ply to get out of debates.

I OMITTED nothing at all. But you assume the true Communist system is run similar to the capitalist system. It's NOT. And not even close.

In the true Communist system ... the State provides ALL you require to LIVE AND do your job (NOT I might add ... all you actually WANT) You don't own anything. The job the state has instructed you to do (and often not even suited for you to do. Liking the job may be good for your morale, but liking your job is not required in usual communist policy and practice.

Everything is free ... but usually rationed ... and some things (in some areas) not even available. The harder you do work and more production you provide for the state .... the better rewards you may get.

You tow the party line that they give you. You preform you duty (your job) or measures will be taken to "enhance" (read motivate) your enthusiasm to tow the party line. If you thought your job was shit ... wait until they find one more suited to "inspire" (read motivate) the lazy to work harder. And the place they get you doing it in ... may not provide much comfort or "inspiration".

I think you missed my point - "You don't own anything" - that's because the State has taken it all - which is what my original glib remark hinted at.

Whatever way you slice it, such a system is fundamentally incompatible with Human Nature, because there is no Carrot (self-motivation) only Stick ('motivation' as you put it).

[TheDemonLord]

Just 'cause Sugilite quoted this I got to see it. The word you were looking for TDL is 'imply.'

Isn't it curious how you're magically able to see certain things I post, yet curiously miss certain things....

That you can recognise the difference between Infer and Imply, yet can't decide if 2007 is before 2016... or if your own Article says nothing about 'provided by Donald Trump'.

Very curious indeed.

I thimk the word you are looking for is ploy.

I'm glade I could help you.

Just saying...

"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs" (or words to that effect) if you are getting all you need provided, why the need to accumulate possessions/wealth/etc, Are you saying it is a basic human trait to try to get and hold more than needed? Does any other animal do that?

pritch will say it is because someone quoted you in his usual eloquent condescending way.

We all know he peeks. He has replied to some of my posts without anyone quoting them.

Just saying...

The original comments were exactly as i quoted. That's what the little " marks mean.

You referring to this? I saw that and saw it was made in the same press conference that he also said they should be condemned. I wondered why you left it out.

“You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group … There were people in that rally — and I looked the night before — if you look, there were people protesting very quietly the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. I’m sure in that group there were some bad ones. The following day it looked like they had some rough, bad people — neo-Nazis, white nationalists, whatever you want to call them. But you had a lot of people in that group that were there to innocently protest, and very legally protest.”

— President Trump, Aug. 15, 2017

Sorry I must be confused because I thought you were disputing he had said that at all, not which day he said it, I think I got lost by it being said moments prior to the quote you posted was said.

[pritch]

Sorry I must be confused

That's OK.

A quote is a quote not something out of a chop shop.

True, the image should've stated The real quotes were "But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides" and "and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally" to show they were separate. Still the point remains.

Interesting Questions:

Have you ever heard of an Experiment called Rat-Topia? I'll give the abridged version: Rats were provided with everything that they needed, in a controlled environment, eventually, after several generations, all the Rats died out. The underlying Why is hotly contested, with various a priori social views coloring the issue. The observed result was that Males were no longer interested in competing for Female attention and the Females were no longer interested in procreating and raising litters, so consequently the entire population eventually died.

So to answer your question - If you are getting all that you 'need', why do you need to do XYZ - It's my view that all that we think we need isn't what we actually need. And that there is something else above what is merely needed that is required for life to be worth living.

Or to put it another way: "If we ever achieved Utopia, the first thing we would do is Burn it all down so that something interesting would happen"

Am I saying Selfishness, Jealousy, gluttoness is a basic Human Trait? Absolutely. It's universal in all cultures and it's something we don't teach our children, instead we have to teach them to share and to not be selfish or jealous.

Do any other Animals do that? There are certainly animals that Kill more than they need (Foxes in a Hen-coup, Dolphins/Orcas killing for 'fun', Orcas deliberately maiming an animal, dragging it out to sea so their young can practice hunting on live prey), There's also animals that 'display' wealthy, Lyre Birds where the Male will build an ostentatious nest, full of shiny objects to attract a Females attention.

your quote has edited out a fair bit of content.

later on he referred to others
What was alarming was he compared the two groups even though one was clearly not being violent.




there was from what I have seen no other quiet protesters that is his myth. the other group was a pro white right wing militia.

the rally was called the unit right rally.
The Unite the Right rally was a white supremacist and neo-Nazi rally that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, from August 11 to 12, 2017.
Supported by the KKK, Duke was a programed speaker.
“Thank you President Trump for your honesty & courage to tell the truth,” David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan leader, wrote in a Twitter post shortly after Mr. Trump spoke.
Richard B. Spencer, a white nationalist leader who participated in the weekend’s demonstrations and vowed to flood Charlottesville with similar protests in the coming weeks, was equally encouraged. “Trump’s statement was fair and down to earth,”
On the morning of August 12, Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency, stating that public safety could not be safeguarded without additional powers. Within an hour, at 11:22 a.m., the Virginia State Police declared the rally to be an unlawful assembly.
At around 1:45 p.m., self-identified white supremacist James Alex Fields Jr. deliberately rammed his car into a crowd of counter-protesters about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) away from the rally site, killing Heather Heyer and injuring 19 other people.

good people both sides the records don't appear to agree.

Hundreds of far-right demonstrators wielding torches and chanting ‘you will not replace us’ march on the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville on Friday night. The ‘alt-right’ protesters surround a small group of counter-protesters who had linked arms around a statue of Thomas Jefferson

Shall we compare this to a list of all the Violence, Murders, Looting, Arson etc. that have been done by ANTIFA and BLM? Going all the way back to 2017?
