    Are you forgetting that the Senate Majority Leader didn't allow over 400 House bills to be brought to a vote over the past two years? But "both sides are bad".

    As for assigning some responsibility for the poor response to the virus to Trump, how could he not be held responsible? He was the executive of this country and didn't present a unified strategy to addressing the pandemic. Instead, he challenged the advice of medical professionals and mocked health measures while enjoying cutting-edge medical treatments when infected with the virus and privately received the vaccine before leaving the White House.

    Are democrats perfect? No. That's why we're voting in progressives at the local level, but, it's very telling that such ideological discussions aren't happening within the Republican Party.
    Remember, the Republicans suddenly remembered they are the party of fiscal responsibility. Before the pandemic, it needs to be remembered that the economy was doing pretty well (continuing off from the Obama years, but it's the narrative). Trump was actually on a trajectory to win re-election without any foreign assistance. He didn't have a strategy for the coronavirus other than to prevent states from shutting down, which would take down the economy and his re-election chances with it. He had no other platform for why he deserved re-election, didn't care to broaden his base. And he almost won re-election and that's the crazy thing. The Republican problem is that they spent years saying government is the problem and then get stuck running the government and being responsible for it. It's no coincidence that red states are primarily governed by Rs and generally are worse off than blue states. You see are policies in action and the state is generally worse for it. Weakened unions under the guise of right-to-work, low wages, underfunded education, etc.

    You're literally repeating every piece of propaganda put out by MSM. Progressives are the useful idiots that will meet the same fate as those in the French Revolution. If you have enough money to spend on hookers in NOVA, you're rich and will be eaten by the poor.

    I don't mean to be insulting, but good lord your grammar is giving me a headache trying to discern what's being said. I will say this much in reply though: you're still blaming this shitshow on one party when you ought to be blaming the whole political apparatus, both houses of Congress, both parties, etc. This is not any one person's fault. And you're delusional if you truly think it is.

    The majority of elected officials have fucked us raw by enacting economically-crippling regulations, lack of a plan B in place for months (despite such a scenario being deemed very probable decades earlier), a slow roll-out of a solution / vaccine (who's effectiveness is questionable as new strains of the virus continue to pop up), and still no clear timetable of when shit will return to normal. To be fair on that last point though, the majority of our countrymen make that one a bit tricky to determine. Most Americans are selfish and care more about their right to do something (I. E. - wearing a mask, blowing off curfew, etc) then they do about other's safety, much less their own.

    There's a reason why Japan, South Korea, Italy, and other developed countries are doing so much better now than we are. But will the average American take note & do what's necessary in order to get back to normalcy? Fuck no, because "their freedoms!" It would all be laughable if it wasn't so sad at the same time. We bring a lot of shit on ourselves, especially by being complacent with the current status quo that has been present in DC for years. Until we make some changes (and no, voting in the other party doesn't qualify if both have failed us equally), then we will continue to lose some people, lose more money, and ultimately prolong the recovery for many more months--possibly years. And frankly, it will have been all our fault.

    So again, stop blaming one person / group. Hold all our leaders accountable for this clusterfuck. I don't know how much more simply I can state this.

    The failing of government today is that while they state what is safe or not, they offer no systematic method of allowing people to live decently if those people previously had a livelihood based on social gatherings. It is shut down, stay home, and if you cannot work from home, then starve. This is the modern failing of government.

    Calling ourselves conservative or liberal does not negate this fundamental fact: we are undeserving our most vulnerable populations, including our disabled veterans, the elderly who are poor and working families, in the richest country in the history of the world and we have no true universal health care, no properly set living wage, and a broken system of winners and losers created by lobbyists called the stock market. That the market is still trading and picking winners despite the pandemic is just wrong.

    So, I have mixed feelings. Based on all of the waste in the government, paying the people who are forced to stay home should be a drop in the bucket. If everyone stayed home for 1 to 2 months, but lost nothing due to a subsidy that can be paid for by removing tax loop hole from some billionaires plus access to a vaccine, this would work and get us back to work fast. Stop trading on wall street until we get back to work. Then recover together.

    Back to the regularly scheduled program.

    Wow. Reasonable discorse between adults with no one using swear words or personal insults. Maybe more people or all political parties need to be well-informed (or at least) civil mongers like BB and GnS.

    Always be nice to the ladies (and to the brother and sister mongers, even if you do not agree with them, for after all, this is the "stupid shit in NoVa board".

    BG is a PV agency. Few of their girls offer FS, therefore it is appropriate to classify them as a massage parlor.

    Perfectly put, 1000% agreed with everything you said! It's borderline depressing to see both conservatives and liberals in this country slinging mud, claiming how their ideology / cause is right and how their party's leaders know how to govern / lead while the other side of the aisle are the "enemy" and whatnot. When in fact the average politician couldn't give two shits about you or me. They care about furthering their agenda, staying in power longer, getting incentives from various interest groups or companies whom they go to bat for, etc. If any of you genuinely believes that your representative, senator, or President is somehow different than all the rest, then you must still believe Santa Clause is real and that hookers actually love you.

    Personally, I'm on the fence about whether or not this pandemic is as serious as they make it out to be. Nevertheless I still wear a mask everywhere, got vaccinated twice (had to for work), and see certain family and friends sparingly. And while I'm incredibly fortunate to still be working, I know plenty who are unemployed and at their wit's end as to what they're going to do next. The government shut everything down, but then failed to come up with a viable plan B in the meantime, dragging its feet on a relief package until whatever came our way barely put a dent in groceries (never mind the rent or utilities bill).

    I find it inexcusable that the government was this woefully unprepared for this type of scenario. On a slightly smaller scale, it reminds me of when the Bush administration delayed with its Hurricane Katrina relief preparations and engaging in rescues. If you know some type of problem is inevitable, how can the right answer be sit back & do nothing? Or to be so criminally unprepared or inactive? Did they truly believe a pandemic of this scale wasn't possible this day & age? Did they learn nothing from avian flu, SARS, influenza, etc.? And as a side note, why is it that some people can't abide by simple instructions or humor others with a mask, social distancing, and whatnot? I'll never understand those people who essentially give everyone the finger and potentially prolong this never-ending shitshow? This applies exponentially if you fall under the high-risk category. It's one thing to endanger yourself, and quite another to endanger others.

    Bottom line: I don't expect the government to be perfect in everything. No one can rightly claim to have all the answers. But this pandemic has been a major shitshow for the history books. Decades--hell, centuries--from now, people will look back and rightfully laugh at our expense. While it won't solve all our issues, voting in leaders who will take decisive action and not be held back / beholden to the top 1% will go some way in helping us move forward as a country. Because what we've experienced these last 10 years? It's no longer a liberal or conservative problem. It's something which affects the 99%. So stop being pissed at only one side and start holding them ALL accountable for letting us down.

There's a middle ground where we can rely on our government to enforce these things and allocate our tax dollars properly into funding a vaccine (which lets be proud we did just that!) but also allow the economy not to collapse in on itself. The problem circles back to two parties hating each other and not willing to compromise.

    I'll be the first to say I didn't like Trump. I think he set a bad example by refusing to wear a mask in public because that definitely sends the wrong message. But let's give credit where credit is due the guy put his signature on the bill to get started on a vaccine ASAP. There seems to only be two extreme solutions. Lock everything up and let business go to shit. Or ignore the virus completely take the gamble on whether you live or die. Come on guys, there's a common ground. Whether your red or blue we all like to smash pussy, so let's start from there! And then work our way up to finding out how best to handle a pandemic!

    While this ain't exactly the site for this topic. The forum is called STUPID SHIT in NOVA so I think it's fair game.

But do I also want to walk around in a mad max town with a bunch of people who aren't following covid protocol / no masks and coughing up in my face because they think it's a hoax? Fuck no. There's a middle ground where we can rely on our government to enforce these things and allocate our tax dollars properly into funding a vaccine (which lets be proud we did just that!) but also allow the economy not to collapse in on itself. The problem circles back to two parties hating each other and not willing to compromise.

    I'll be the first to say I didn't like Trump. I think he set a bad example by refusing to wear a mask in public because that definitely sends the wrong message. But let's give credit where credit is due the guy put his signature on the bill to get started on a vaccine ASAP. There seems to only be two extreme solutions. Lock everything up and let business go to shit. Or ignore the virus completely take the gamble on whether you live or die. Come on guys, there's a common ground. Whether your red or blue we all like to smash pussy, so let's start from there! And then work our way up to finding out how best to handle a pandemic!

    While this ain't exactly the site for this topic. The forum is called STUPID SHIT in NOVA so I think it's fair game.
    Agreed with a lot of this. All I want is for people to question what they hear. I picked up a rifle, and took a bullet for this country, is that so much to ask in return? I hate politics.
