    Outside of Los Alamos and other labs with national defense contracts, New Mexico has no smart people. I had the misfortune of living in that godforsaken shit hole for two years.

    Oh shit we already saw this in the recruiting and/or staff 2020 thread.

    So despite Bernie winning head-to-heads against Trump, polling very high, having huge favorables among independents, you were convinced that he had a 0% chance? Interesting and irrational.

    If it makes you feel better. I am insane and irrational. Fight on someday it may payoff. It is good to be passionate but at some point gears have to be switched.

    And people are always perfectly candid and aware of all their internal motivations?

    OK BT let me explain why I am here early. When Bernie won Nevada it scared me to death that a guy I believed had 0% chance of beating Trump in the swing state suburbs could win in the Democratic nomination. So I started to read the tea leaves. Would it be Bloomberg or would it be Biden that the people like me would coalesce behind? If it was Bloomberg I would vote for Bloomberg and ask friends and relatives to vote for Bloomberg if they had not made up their mind. If it was Biden I would do the same thing for Biden. South Carolina basically said Biden so that is what I did on primary eve. Mayor Pete and I made sure 3 twenty year olds voted for Biden that otherwise would have probably stayed home in Texas that attend universities around the state. 

    Now I am here to see when "I don't know when to get out Bernie" actually leaves the race. It is entertainment at this point. My vote counted and spoke to what I believed needed to happen as did others that probably felt the same way as I did. Political beliefs? I am independent that voted for Bill Clinton, George Bush, McCain, Obama and almost puked when I had to vote for Hillary. I hated her after her health care screw up. Since like you when I was young I dreamed of a fair nation that provided health care.

    So once Joe Biden is elected, what then?

    It's very common for people to say "I just want Trump out" and pretend they have no other values or goals. Maybe they are hiding them on purpose or they're self-deluding. Once Biden is elected do you imagine you'll stop paying attention entirely and commenting?

    Trump is encouraging a way of life that is terrible for minorities.  Do you think anything Biden does once he wins even comes close to being an issue to me? Once I am back to being fat and happy then I can worry about Utopia. Right now Trump and the direction he has put the country in needs to be reversed.

    "Throwing a fit" is a hyperbolic mischaracterization intended to shield yourself from having to make any kind of cogent point.

    Joe Biden has shown extremely poor leadership in a time of severe, epic national crisis. Obviously Trump is a rolling nightmare fire of incompetence and vanity, but nothing Biden has said or done shows inspired leadership. Obviously some say that, "Well at least he'll listen to scientists!" and perhaps he will do that more than Trump will, but what evidence we actually have when his own interests were at stake tell us otherwise.

    Joe is very likely to get my vote and he's got a chance to get my active participation. Donald has zero chance at either.

    If you're actually concerned about winning over allies, I'm who you look to. But that's not what concerns you, what concerns you is nursing personal grudges.

    I have no need to shield myself since my argument goes no further than stop being a whiny kid and lets beat Trump. What Joe has done, believes, says or is going to do does not matter to me as long as he wins. Like the Patriots and Alabama, just win "By doing your job". 

    In the future stop trying to say I am making some kind of argument because I am not making any points other than when we were kids we always criticized the kid that if they started to lose they would take their ball home. The whiny kid that takes his ball home deserves no please, please, please! from the other kids. He needs to be treated for what he is, which a sore loser.

    Keep going Dan you're doing a great job of winning people over to your side. #Unity

    Screw #Unity from folks like you and those throwing a fit. Drive up turn out of those that are willing to get with the program and defeat Trump. If it is not enough then to bad. Putting effort into a set of folks that are unlikely to drive toward a common goal of defeating Trump is wasting cycles that are needed elsewhere. Like a business book says. One should mitigate weaknesses and put effort into strengths. The same level of effort into a strength will make you excellent while lots of effort into a weakness will make you no more then mediocre. Mitigate the whiners and turn out the supports.

    Lets see:

    0% of the Trumpkins

    0% of the folks voting in Republican Primary

    0% of the folks voting for Biden in the primaries

    0% of the folks that will sit it out

    100% of the whiny little bitches calling for him to run as an independent since he is a two time loser.That could be significant.

    I don't want Trump to win, I want Biden to be a better candidate and leader. More directly, I want Democratic voters to be more critical and demanding of the people they vote for.

    isn’t the test just a mouth swab?

    this fucker didn’t get tested, did he?

    ImpeccableValuableChuckwalla-size_restri

    At least that is what the doc made it sound like in the presser. Says person taking the test has to clean up before the next test because the person being swabbed sneezes/coughs all over the tester.

    Man our kids are going to read about this shit one day and ask us how the fuck we let this orange tub of lard do this

    I was learning about McCarthy in High School and was talking about the stuff I was being taught with two co-workers back in 1983. To my surprise the guy that was 60+ and my boss just went off on a rant pissed off that I did not understand how great and good a man McCarthy had been. So our kids will just have to be careful they may get fired (he did not fire me) by a closet Trumpkin that can't take it.

    He drove from Florida to Vail?  He needs to quit being poor.

    Maybe he was doing what I am tempted to do. Drive and avoid airports. Get to the 70% off room with a balcony and a kick as view. Wipe it down, order pizza and enjoy the outdoors plus the room. Refuse daily service and use one's own towels. Avoid all contact with others and drive back. Probably won't do it but it sure is tempting.

  12. I had a weird dream last night with all this coronavirus news. I had come out of a coma to discover Aggy won a football championship. So I start looking at highlights and it is Syracuse they are playing. I ask WTF and I am told all the good football programs suspended their season and Aggy decided to keep going as their chance to win. I start laughing and say it would be just like Aggy to do such a thing and celebrate an asterisk. I guess when I have to relate stuff to dreadful shit aggy is a natural choice in my brain.
