Man are you ever a condescending prick. You called an entire area of the country dumb and continue to try and back it up. I'm assuming with a pseudonym like yours you live in Florida and have some attachment to the Tennessee Vols. Did you grow up in Tennessee or go to school here? You are quite the piece of work.

I went to the University of Tennessee. I have lived in the south for many years.


While I am just poking at southern insecurities, the south is demonstrably less educated than the north. I am not sure how you could argue differently. It doesn't mean they are any dumber than northern folks, but the defensive reactions generated in this thread are just too much fun to pass up some days. Just killing some time. I have already stated I was just trolling in this thread.

You literally ARE condescending and do not know that Missouri is a Midwestern state? And I was talking about farmers... like those in Missouri... and in several southeastern states. Forgive me for not spelling it out clearly enough that you couldn't pick nits.


And you really don't think there are as many or FAR MORE that vote Democrat that are "uneducated" or poor? Uneducated and vulnerable minorities are preyed on every election season by Democrats.... and dependent whites as well.

You had a defense of midwestern farmers while claiming some "point" and you think I should have known you weren't talking about midwestern farmers? I tried to clarify 2 or 3 times, but each time you doubled down. So yeah, I was a prick because you couldn't get out of your own way.

The question was "what could he have done differently".
I'm just giving some answers.
Also, you've never heard me say Pelosi or Fauci did a good job early on, but both were much quicker to acknowledge the error of their position and change what they were saying and doing.
That may be one of Trump's top 300 faults: absolute refusal to ever admit he was wrong but a willingness to twist and lie in any way possible to prove his original position was correct.

Trump tried to stop international travel into the US, but Pelosi and her crew of knuckle heads wouldn’t allow it.

He called Trump’s 1/31 China travel ban xenophobia.

read it slower

He fell into the trap of thinking that if the first fifteen marbles you pull out of the bag are blue, the sixteenth one will certainly be blue; which it was, but blue just happened to be the winning color for the first time.

I thought he stopped it with an XO.

You’re a case study in TDS. I worry about you.

Okay, I'll cut you some slack for just being a jerk and not really meaning it when you offended a lot of people on this site. I'll argue with you about the south is demonstrably less educated than the north. Look at major US cities like Baltimore and Detroit, most of their graduates can barely read if they can at all. It's all relative and you should think twice before you condemn an entire region and accuse them of being dumb.

Thanks.
I'm not sure if TDS is the correct diagnosis, but I do feel the same toward Trump today as I did 4 years ago.
It's like having to wear a cast on your leg for 4 years. I told myself I would get it off in 18 months max, but here we are.

I have had an extremely busy couple of weeks. Lots of depositions, mediations and hearings. I have had some down time the last day or two and decided to have some fun. Southerners are extremely insecure about their intelligence levels and it probably stems from the fact that people with a southern accent are often wrongly dismissed as stupid.

As I have stated before, I have lived in the south for a significant portion of my life and I enjoy it. I do think that some posters on here are too quick to dismiss life in other areas of the country. I have lived in Texas, Alabama, DC, Maine, Chicago, New York, California, Michigan and Toronto. Those are in addition to Knoxville, Nashville, Memphis and Florida. Oops, I forgot to have New Orleans on my list. None are really better than the other. Each has something special about it that can be appreciated and no where is perfect. I came to Florida because I enjoy life near the beach. 8 months out of the year are perfect. 4 are swelteringly hot. October cannot get here soon enough.

Anyhoo, and this message is to all the Vol fans on this board, enjoy your life, your family and wherever it is you call home. And GO VOLS!

You accuse me of being caught up in a liberal news cycle, when the fact of the matter is your're caught up in the retaliation against it and I have nothing to do with it.

To argue that Trump didn't totally blow it takes some real mental gymnastics, but I applaud you for the attempt. Biden sucks eggs, but he has not called for another complete shutdown, which shows that you've proved my point.

Anyone with half any good sense knows that the shutdowns more or less worked properly everywhere else, but America has Trump and look what happens. We have 4% of the world's pop and 25% of the world's covid deaths.

But you go ahead and keep on toting that far right line and enjoy yourself.

You made the claim Trump cut CDC spending, . And
That is false, and has been since the claim was made months ago. You’ll have nothing to do with it when you no longer repeat it.

Governors will determine whether their states shut down, just as they already have. Biden’s constitutionally illiterate assertion is that he will shut down the economy if so-called experts tell him to. That would be a disaster, and ghoulish. Between February and April 41% of black businesses disappeared. Tens, if not hundreds of thousands of businesses will never reopen. Those are lives, too, business owners and employees and families.

We actually do not know how many deaths can be accurately attributed to COVID-19. We are the third most populous nation on earth. We have no peers in the western world in that respect and can hardly consider stAtistics of China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, or Russia as parameters of how our response has been. Among western nations of any size our death rate is lower than some and higher than others. Your quoting death rates is of little value without objectively separating it from your dislike of Trump.

Further you talk in generalities without very much detail to substantiate your claims. We have no indication that the Obama administration would’ve handled a 100 year pandemic any better and we have every indication to think that a Biden administration would’ve handled it worse. So in fact we have no basis from which to say that the Trump administration‘s handling of the virus was any better or worse than any other administration would have been. That’s the nature of a 100 year viral pandemic.

A rational person can argue some points of the response but that’s about it. To condemn the entire response as a failure is simply TDS nonsense.

Lastly you seem to think that shutting down entire economies has no real affect and that a relative handful of deaths that might be spared worth the cost; I disagree entirely. I think people with your perspective really care nothing about human life but only about deaths from COVID-19. I don’t want blinkered, illogical people like that making decisions about the lifeblood of this country, the economy. They not only dismiss the ruination of millions of US lives, but those who are dependent upon other nations for thei very nutrition and medical supplies.

Your assertion seems to be that shut downs have had a uniformly beneficial impact. That is also not true abroad or among US states. Taiwan, South Korea, and Sweden, for example, did not lock down with variable results ; Taiwan and South Korea had quite low death rates while Sweden with higher death rates but not the highest among European peers. Some of the most draconian US states had much higher death rates than those with less restrictions or lockdowns of shorter duration .

Don’t mistake a demand for factual accuracy with being a Trump cheerleader. Improve your argument, instead.

About like my game day predictions

 

[NCFisher]

And the reason there was this cluster ****? Hint, it was because trump would not accept assistance from the countries that had already created effective testing.

Yeah, except that’s false, too. Contrary to disproven, breathless reports that Trump turned down the WHO test protocol, that never occurred. Not only did WHO never offer it - because poor nations without such research capabilities are their mission focus - CDC insisted they produce the protocol to ensure quality.

CDC had a test ready 3rd week Jan, among the First Nations ready to deploy first week of Feb. Then spent the next month assuring everyone they had some normal glitches associated with production, and they’d be resolved any day now. That never happened and Trump had already began pulling in the private sector labs to correct CDC incompetence and FDA bureaucracy.

And now you know the rest of the story....

Paul Harvey finish, I like it!

 

[NCFisher]

You have to be exhausted.
That posts makes it abundantly clear that your only objective is to distort reality in the most beneficial way for Trump.
Trump has never once in his life taken an arrow for someone else. Are you serious? Even Trump would proudly say he pulls others in front of him to take the arrows intended for him. He has had people on his payroll for decades whose complete job description was "take all arrows intended for me".

The post makes it abundantly clear that you have no rebuttal for actual facts that were documented beginning in April through May by the New York Times, Washington post, Forbes, business insider, etc.

Okay, then why didn’t he throw them under the bus? I’ll wait.

Hell, I don’t know..... I’m just arguing because it was loother

 

[NCFisher]

Well, I am a reasonably intelligent guy, but your post about midwestern farmers being poor has no relevance in here. I only spoke of the states I listed. I don't think I said midwesterners were stupid and poor. In fact, there were no midwestern states on the stupid and poor lists. One did make the most educated list, though.

It really isn't up for debate that the poor and uneducated flock to Trump like a moth to a flame.

That leaves you with a conundrum of explaining why Hillary Clinton won the poor voter while Trump won the wealthier voters. People with incomes of 50,000 or more a year voted for Trump in greater numbers than voted for Clinton. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wa...backed-trump-skewed-wealthier/?outputType=amp

Further, I’d like the logical contortion that explains how those wealthier conservative voters are less intelligent than the poor educated idiots who “flocked” to Clinton- thanks ole buddy!

 

[hUTch2002]

At least as it relates to me, you are wrong. If people acted ethically, paid their obligations and accepted responsibility for their actions my job wouldn't exist.

I’m sure you mean that to apply to both people that have wronged someone and those that are looking for someone to blame when they should be looking in the mirror or moving on. The problem is that now people think every accident is a payday opportunity and there are juries giving ridiculous awards to punish corporations, sometimes even when the facts of what actually happened are on the side of the defendant. The trucking industry has a huge target on its back right now. Once a verdict goes over $1M, the average verdict from accidents involving trucking companies in 2010 was about $2.3M. The average verdict for claims over $1M in 2018? $22.3M! Well, $22,288,000 but you get the idea. It’s out of control.

This thread started as conversation about an ESPN television commentator making inappropriate statements about an entire region of the country and it decended into liberals defending somone who should be fired for incompetence. He could cause six or seven figure differences in the bottom line.

I think Max increased traffic on SEC forums for people to check and see if their confirmation bias were true and it wasn't a disappointment.
