So you're admitting that you're always trolling, that means nothing you post can ever be taken seriously, granted 90% of what you post can't be taken seriously anyway, but this now means it's 100%, good to know moving forward

No, that's not true at all.

I don't even know how to answer all this, but I'll try.
What's the reason form som much participation in politics?
Politics has been heavily discussed since it first started, my participation in it is no different than anyone elses
Are you trying to change ther minds of other posters?
No, and neither is anyone else when they talk politics, it's just people on one side debating people on the other side, simple as that. I would find it hard to believe anyone would read what I think politically and change their political views
Is this a hobby of some sort?
I never really looked at it that way, but I guess maybe it kind of is a hobby. I don't follow politics as close as many others here, I'm certainly no political junkie, but I do watch some of the political shows and try to keep up as much as possible, but I'm hardly an expert on the subject
Is there a difference of any kind you're hoping to make?
No, not really, I'm just a guy with an opinion just like everyone else here, not sure what kind of difference I could make by posting my political opinions on a gamling board anyway
Do you think you're making a difference in the election? Is that the goal?
No, and No
Is it a bonding experience with others who believe the same way?
No, I don't think so. Considering the vast majority of guys who post on these message boards are on the right politically, it's nice knowing that here there are a lot more on the left than at most forums, so it does make me feel better knowing I have many here who agree with me, when I was posting at Peep's I was one of the very few who were on the left up against everyone else who's on the right. I don't judge people based on their politcs, Heisey is a class act regardless of his politics, so is FW, Javy is a piece of shit regardless of his politics, he could post 24/7 about his hatred for Trump and it wouldn't change the fact that he's an insufferable cunt. Not sure if all that answers your question, but I tried
Are you trying to make a difference or is the bashing of each other, the anger and name calling the fun of it?
Not trying to make any difference, I'm just a guy who lives in South Florida posting his thoughts on a message board just like anyone else. I try to treat people with respect, if they give it to me, I return it in kind. However, I won't allow anyone to bully me, insult me, or lie about me, if anyone treats me like that, then I also return it in kind. Think about how many times we've argued about LeBron James, across the street and here, 99% of the time it's a civilized argument with little to no name calling, you've always treated me with respect, so I've done the same with you, but like I said, if someone hits me, I'm going to hit back
One last thing, since everyone here is at home all day due to the virus, that means that people have more time to post on boards like this than ever before. I wake up every morning with literally nothing to do all day, posting here helps kill a lot of time, so many of us are posting more than normal due to the circumstances. I hope I did an adequate job in answering your questions, be well and stay safe.

Merlin, you just said you're always kidding, if you're always kiddng, how could you ever be taken seriously

I dont ask anyone to love me, hate me, or anything else, i state my opinion and it really upsets some people that dont deal well with different viewpoints. We are all powerless to control other people, a fact that is completely lost on the left, who think they can change others. You cant, I cant change runny nor would i try, that would be a ridiculous waste of time..

We can look at Spain and Italy recovery after their peaks to lead us in what our recovery may look like.
Spain
Peak April 1 950
15 days before: 107
15 days after Projected 137
15 days after Reality 503
Italy
Peak March 27 969
15 days before: 189
15 days after reality 619
its not going to be a standard bell curve where the upslope matches the downslope
it will be a slow recovery
Merlin on a roll. They complain, have no solutions and past post.

Texas governor issued executive order to open state today.
We pointed out trumps incompetence for a long time before this shit storm he’s created. Nice try but that’s the opposite of past posting.
And now that trump has fucked it all up the cultists expect the other side to immediately fix the mess he created?
You guys are hilarious

Great news.
You don't post your own thoughts. You just copy/paste fake news. You don't even link the article since it's a fake news site.
I just posted original thoughts in the post you’re quoting
You’re a real piece of work

This is going to be great, the economy in total collapse, a depression...and the democrats will get all the blame. Ooh baby, you couldn't script it any better.
First time in a long time. Most of the time it's copy/paste fake news. Search yourself.

not the news we wanted for friday
I wish they could give us a definitive answer
hopefully just false negatives after their "recovery"
https://www.npr.org/sections/corona...covid-19-patients-test-positive-after-recover
A growing number of recovered COVID-19 patients are relapsing in South Korea, raising new questions and concerns among scientists and health authorities after the country successfully flattened the curve.
By Friday, Korean health authorities had identified 163 patients who tested positive again after a full recovery. The number more than doubled in about a week, up from 74 cases on April 9. Those patients — just over 2% of the country's 7,829 recovered patients — are now back in isolation.

If Texas opens up and in 2 weeks they see a spike in cases and deaths, who will you blame?
mr merlin
EOG Master
Of course there will be more cases, no one disputes that.
As merlin said, there will be more cases. There will be more driving deaths, but we don't stop driving. You can't keep people off of work anymore.
I noticed you haven’t posted trumps approval rating in a while

I posted about this idiot Georgia governor in another thread, I'll bump it
trumps cult followers feel their cult leader has given them a free pass to ignore reality

looks like 46% today
Looks like you’re wrong
If polls meant something, Hillary would be president.
For polls, people just say they disapprove so that they don't get harassed.

According to Matthew Kang, Eater, more than 50% of Angelenos are out of work. All related to the restaurant business.
The national polls were correct as Hillary won the popular vote by 3.5 million.
Now that trump has proven his incompetency he’s had the lowest average approval rating of any POTUS in history
mr merlin

Nope, 46 today, wed rueters was 46, 2 others 45, Tues harris had 48, a week ago fox had 49%.
Just stop with the nonsense heisi, those are the numbers.

I wouldn't doubt it. I heard 25% unemployment in Mich. It's really going to get ugly in a month or two if no money is coming in.

Trump approval rating slides in new poll as coronavirus grips the nation
The president’s slide in a new Gallup national survey comes as the poll shows a plunge in the percentage of Americans satisfied with the ways things are going right now in the country.
THE LATEST FROM FOX NEWS ON THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS
Trump stands at 43 percent approval and 54 percent disapproval in the new poll, which was conducted April 1-14. The president’s approval rating stood at 49 percent a month ago in Gallup polling. Disapproval shot up 9 points, from 45 percent in March.
Down 6 points in same poll from a month ago....ouch

some positive news, something we've all been hoping for
meanwhile It snowed here today, of course
Preliminary results from government lab experiments show that the coronavirus does not survive long in high temperatures and high humidity, and is quickly destroyed by sunlight, providing evidence from controlled tests of what scientists believed — but had not yet proved — to be true.
A briefing on the preliminary results, marked for official use only and obtained by Yahoo News, offers hope that summertime may offer conditions less hospitable for the virus, though experts caution it will by no means eliminate, or even necessarily decrease, new cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. The results, however, do add an important piece of knowledge that the White House’s science advisers have been seeking as they scramble to respond to the spreading pandemic.
The study found that the risk of “transmission from surfaces outdoors is lower during daylight” and under higher temperature and humidity conditions. “Sunlight destroys the virus quickly,” reads the briefing.
