Biden's gun speech

Well you got DANC and cray to like your post, so I guess all the cool kids love Trump. But on just one issue covid prep, Dem and maybe some GOP Admins would have been better prepared than Trump. Main reason, Trump purposely deflected funds away from pandemic preparedness issues and programs that had been in place since Bush to help fund his wall.

Bush era programs related to public health preparedness didn't change during Obama. So it's almost certain if a member of Obama's Admin had succeeded him they wouldn't have changed them or eliminated them either.

Of course, Obama never anticipated that a lunatic like Trump would ever win in 2016, so the idea that Trump would do something as unbelievably stupid as to eliminate the CDC watchdog on the ground in China never occurred to anyone. We know that Obama went out of his way to try and get thru to incoming Trump Admin people, and some people who were part of the apparatus were so frustrated with Trump's wanton disregard and cavalier approach that they left in protest. There's a paper trail for anyone not blind enough to see for themselves...

And the lack of logic and consistent thought on the part of some on this board never ceases to amaze me...
On the one hand they're convinced that the Chinese Govt is responsible for either a "lab leak" or intentionally unleashing covid on the world. But when you point out to them that either result could only have been possible if the CDC official who had been monitoring exactly that possibility on the ground for the past decade had somehow been removed from the scene, it's as if they're incapable of putting 2+2 together.

I mean if you're convinced that the Chinese are responsible, then do you think it's somehow an unbelievable coincidence that Trump happened to remove the CDC Doctor monitoring the Chinese the summer prior to the fall outbreak of covid? I guess in MAGA world facts no linger exist, but it's a fact that Trump cut off the funds and was basically operating blind from Sept 2019 on.

And another fact, in Oct 2019, the WAPO ran an article stressing the US's poor rating in terms of pandemic preparedness, Biden READ the article and addressed it the next day. That same day while Biden was discussing US preparedness, Trump who can't READ, tweeted about a variety of nonsense, including complaining to Tim Cook about the location of the "home button" on the new iphone.

I mean you'd think at some point logic would kick in, and people who blame China for covid would at least be upset with Trump's actions in the summer of 2019.. I mean if you don't "trust" the Chinese, logic would dictate that the LAST thing you'd is remove the person whose sole job it is to keep an eye on them and keep you informed.

But logic just seems to have no place in MAGA cult, and the folks who like your post are a perfect example of that. So yes on the covid issue alone I think we'd have been a hell of a lot better with someone other than Trump in the WH. There were countries who managed to minimize the disaster of covid, and there's no reason the US shouldn't have been in a better position and known about it sooner. That's the way the system was designed and had worked successfully for the prior decade. Dismantling it to feed his own ego and stroke his base is the kind of stupidity Trump is known for...

All you do is blow off about Trump. 24X7. Anyone brings up anything about Biden, "but Trump"!

It was so obviously predictable Biden would be a disaster, yet you voted for him anyway. Pathetic.

You and Hickory should get together. With both of your IQs combined, you might break triple digits.
Says the Trumpster, who can’t even admit what all of his administration can. He’s a corrupt idiot. So what does that make you? Fooled by a used car salesman. No surprise Dinesh can pull the wool over your eyes. And all the other gullible Trumpsters. What does that tell us about your IQ there?
 
This is too long to read. I skimmed and saw MAGA ten times and recognized are up gibberish. Let me make it simple. CDC was off guard. No testing. No mechanism to track and trace. Lab problems. Add novelty and that Biden is a moron and we'd have had the same outcome. Obama is smart. Perhaps he would have found a way to isolate vulnerable groups. Who knows. Calls for speculation and his time was up anyway. Biden is a bumbling fool. He would have done no better. He still can't get tests out. He's a clown
Anyone who wants one can get tests. You need the link? Just ordered 8 more for my family.

What corrupt idiot can run the country for 4 years with ankle biters like you constantly pestering him while keeping inflation and unemployment and the price of gas down? And keep us out of a war that's draining our military resources. No 'corrupt idiot" I know.

If you want corruption, look to your Idiot In Chief - the "Big Guy". 10% of everything! He'd make a mafia don jealous.

Yep, you and HIckory - peas in a pod.

Lol a little late. He promised 500 million. Didn't have them. Then by the time they were sent they were too late for the brunt of the wave. Stop defending the guy. He sucks. None of us knew he'd be this bad. Shit happens. Admit it and move on. Nov is coming. Vote smarter

Is it really an assault rifle, without full automatic operation?

The WW I Thompson Trench Broom, and WW II Army ‘grease gun’ were full auto.

The WW II Sturmgewar and AK47 Soviet response were full auto.

The M14s and M16s used in ‘Nam were full auto

Civilian ‘AR-15’ models are not full auto. (It’s against the law).

“the "AR" in AR-15 stands for "ArmaLite Rifle", not "assault rifle"

Considering you voted for Biden it is a helluva lot higher than your IQ. Biden couldn't even sell used cars but got dumb ass people like you to vote for him.
 
Seriously? Doesn’t it seem a bit hypocritical to ask an 18 year old to kill for their country with a weapon they can’t legally possess in that country?
No. Our underaged Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors and Marines can’t legally drink in this country until 21 either.

But they can legally drink on military facilities. So, they can legally drink in this country if they're in the right location.
 
That has no basis in reality.

Inflation, sure. Nothing else compares.
Obviously you have absolutely no concept of what reality is and are just plain clueless and stupid. nothing else compares? What is that else? The fact we have a brain dead moron with dementia for a president? Just because you have that in common with him isn't a reason to vote for the POS

Biden was one of the least wealthy members of the Senate for decades, and was still low on the totem pole when he became VP. Then he wrote a best selling book about the death of his son Bo that earned millions. His second wife also inherited a lot of money after her father died.

Writing a book is not "grifting".

His son Hunter seems shady, though I don't know details. Don't vote for Hunter.

That would be great if Joe didn't do his grifting while he was VP.

He lied when he said he didn't know anything about Hunter's business when he had his business partners to the White House when he was VP.

You are Hickory-stupid.
 
No, they can’t drink in US facilities.
Really? We could on Army posts and at the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey and at Goodfellow AFB when I was in.

I kinda wish we couldn't have - I'd have done much better in language school if I'd stayed out of the NCO club.

When did they stop that?

Not for many years. Don’t remember exactly when that was changed, but had to be 25 years ago, at least.

I’m also a graduate of NPS. I visited on business last month. Best weather of anyplace we ever lived. My wife keeps an eye on the house market there. If we retire-retire there we’ll have to settle for a third of a house for more than twice as much. It’s crazy high there.

That stretch of Monterey / Carmel is heaven

I'm sure it is. I can't say the weather was great - I wasn't a fan of the fog every day until late morning. And there was definitely a rainy season in September/October.

However, the lifestyle is great. Loved going down to the beach and making a bonfire with the driftwood. For a kid fresh out of HS in Indiana, I felt like I was living it up. And after I bought my sweet '73 Pinto, I was going up to San Francisco many weekends.

There was a deli right outside the gate - Compagno's. If we didn't have money, the owner would let us run a tab until payday. And the subs were epic. I still miss that place.

Look in Carmel - I'm sure they have some reasonably priced housing. lol

I didn't appreciate the place as much as I should have - I was terribly homesick.

They offered me a slot in an Advanced Russian class if I re-up'd, but all I wanted to do was get home and start classes at IU, which I did 3 weeks after I processed out.

Pacific Grove is foggy. Monterey is a lot less foggy. I’ll likely be visiting about four times a year the next couple years on business, but I’ll get in some golf after work and on a vacation day or two before or after the days of work.

Nice.

I never saw PG in the mornings. Our classrooms looked right into Monterey Bay and many mornings we couldn't see the bay until after 10am.

I went to Pacific Grove HS for an 8 team HS basketball tournament. The gym seated about 500 people. I was shocked. Coming from small-town Indiana where HS gyms were so huge, it was a surprise to me the gym wasn't bigger.

I believe DLI is overlooking PG.

I think Indiana has 17 or 18 of the largest basketball gymnasiums in the country. They don’t compare in most states.

I’ve had tests all along. Had to buy the first , but got the home tests fairly timely as they came out. I’m fine with my vote when the alternative is Trump.
