Yeah and it was a real problem on the Western front because guys would go so long without fresh water that they'd try drinking the water at the bottom of shell craters and between the diseases from bodies and that on the surface they'd basically kill themselves.

e- phosgene and chlorine were the two gases everyone thinks about for WWI when you see the pictures of drifting clouds, but shells also carried mustard gas which was sprayed from the shells primarily as an area denial weapon

That’s because it’s not a stimulus. It’s a sieve to give the illusion of worker protection while in reality everything from day one has been put in place to protect big businesses while providing the bare minimum for the employees.

In short, it’s capitalism, baby.

Honestly can't argue with it. Who the gently caress in their right mind wants the Gov't to prop up domestic oil and airlines when they can loving bankrupt and restructure thus letting their employees own more while keeping their jobs.

At least that's the effect if not the intent, I mean he can't honestly think he's funny that'd be insane.

This is exactly what he's doing. Anytime something comes up that's just breathtakingly stupid, the chuds post their off topic one liners to distract from the insane poo poo that they don't want to admit is true even though they absolutely know it.

Which is fine, trump is fine, that is your Lowtax given right as posters but I'm responding to the poster that is mad people aren't talking about Trump.

Trump is directly related to the virus and he is giving absolutely insane advice about medical treatments.

He is absolutely core to the conversation.

Not to mention literally everything else like deaths, infections, ventilators, PPE, medical care, frontline workers, stimulus checks, unemployment, etc.

That’s been irritating the hell out of me too. I’m seeing all these Covidiots parroting trump talking points and making internet comments along the lines of “We’ve flattened the curve, time to open for business because!” / “The economic effects will be worse!” / “The mortality rate is only 1%, stop being so alarmist!”

I feel like every one of these fuckheads should be forced to listen to the recording of that old lady begging her Alexa device to call the hospital and make the pain stop as she suffocated to death alone and scared in her apartment. Then they can go out and go bowling to own the libs or whatever.

Number One I order you to take a number two.

The first and only debate is gonna be an absolute poo poo show between Trump being unable to speak in anything but word salad peppered in lies and Joe Biden's sundowning pudding brain.

And there will be only one debate because Donny is gonna chicken out of any additional ones. The democrats will ignore the tsunami of public rage and continue sitting around wrining their hands about decorum. The chuds will then nod sagely and tell themselves, "Those debates are only gotcha questions anyways!" before they shoot their family pet and eat its genitals because Trump had suggested that might be a treatment for the roni.

Ah, the classic tu quoque variation trumpsuckers love. “Our guy is a dangerous demented narcissistic sociopath with the mind of a child and a verified history of adultery and sexual abuse... but Biden makes gaffes and was accused of assault.”

edit just in case you try to misrepresent this: to clarify they’re both terrible but acting like they’re in any way comparable is ludicrous and it’s very important that you understand that

Trump didn't stop all flights from China.

He stopped Chinese citizens from flying to the US from China, he still allowed US citizens to fly from China to the US.

And the US is mostly fighting the strain from Europe.

And the virus was probably already here.
