    So, you're saying, I think, benign intent in the beginning, but now the bold move of obliterating the economy and threatening to blow up our society to de-steam Trump. The one thing that doesn't jibe with the theory is the idea that it's an assumption that a blown-up economy is Trump's fault. I mean, this shut-down isn't just a detail. I would think it more likely he'd be evaluated on how he handled this, and not because the economy tanked. But I'm not a good November prognosticator.

    I believed wet market and I believed lab. Why would I disbelieve either? On purpose? That takes me to bold move territory. Even the fucking Chinese should know better ... you don't know what you're doing when you do something like that.

    Remember when terrorists killed 3000 Americans and certain people were cheerleaders for government's powers being expanded and our ways of life being changed because if we didn't, tens of thousands more were going to die?

    Yeah, I do.

    It's strange that they're singing a different tune today about the same game being played.

    And here we are now, with the Patriot Act in full effect AND locked down to "keep us safe". It's like Americans couldn't be any dumber.

    Come at me bro

    Why is the patriot act still in effect anyway? Lot of people changed their mind on it. They still have opinions

    When did the Patriot Act shut down the economy anyway and how did I miss that?

    Do better. Admit you were wrong. I did

    The governors insisted that they made the call on the shut down. Did you want to send in troops?

    Trump let them own it and own it they do. Of course they will deny it in November but only a dumbass would believe them

    Just politics

    Do better. Admit you were wrong. I did
    If you were the target I would have named you.

    I'll admit I'm wrong when I am. I was wrong about big dick Eason, and was the first to admit it.

    I didn't recommend shutting down the economy, I haven't missed a day of work or a bill that needed to be paid, and if it was up to me, neither the Patriot Act nor this shitshow would have taken place. Don't let your guilty feelings cloud your memory about what happened in both cases.

    The Patriot Act didn't shut down the economy, and I didn't claim it did. It did, however, change lots of things about how we carry out daily life, give the government greater powers, and there was no excuse for passing it other than being a bunch of scared pussies - just like we're doing now.

    Don't try to pin this shit on me. I'm a past-50 type 1 diabetic and I'm not thrilled about being exposed to some virus like this, but I'm no candy-ass socialist fuck, so I go to work and pay the bills. I'm also not retarded so I did notice all the lovers of expanding the government's powers under the Patriot Act are now not so trusting of the government. It's the same government, you guys are just calling it the "Deep State" now.

    That's about all I have to say about it. I think you're cool, Race, even if we square off on certain points. We aren't miles from each other on the spectrum, it just seems like that from time to time. I don't want you to get covid and die, but I don't want you going broke to make sure people are "safe", either. Life isn't "safe". If you aren't OK with that, you should kill yourself now.
