You think Trump is "mentally sharp?" Heh...

I'm sure that his sycophants will be impressed with his cheap shots and grade school taunts; though the rational among us understand that Biden v. Trump will be an intellectual pillow fight.

I think Bidens lack of acuity puts him on and even playing field with Donnie Exotic.

Well Nancy if you have the sack to go stand in line come November then you are welcome to pull that lever just remember that no matter what Joe says his last name is not O'Biden.

Facial recognition technology. But, to be safe, they will detain you and ask for your identification anyways. Or hell, they can track your cellphone.

This country is more and more starting to resemble a Chinese technocracy. They're already tracking smartphone movements. Kushner is pushing for a database to track individual coronavirus cases and what people with coronavirus patients are doing or where they are going. Crackdowns on worship services. People getting arrested for surfing. Government forcibly shutting down businesses and charging businesses who don't.

It's easy to give people rights when things are going well. When things get tough, we should still have constitutional rights. Why even have a Bill of Rights if hard times gives the government justification to violate and trample all over it?

I wonder what the tipping point would be before people would say no more. I think we're pretty close.

Some people are nuts. I have a neighbor. She sells high end steaks to high end restaurants. Obviously they have taken a hit. So she emails out to the neighborhood fantastic deals on steaks. I bought some. She sold almost $10,000 worth of product in our neighborhood alone. Probably saved her job she says. We went to go pick it up yesterday. Our time slot for pickup was 3:30. Showed up, paid, and walked away. Some dbag neighbor tried to shame neighbors on Facebook for participating. Never more then 10 people at any point, which is our governors recommendation, and far safer then being at a grocery store.

Abortion Funding, Surveillance, Mail-in Voting: Progressives Unveil Wish List for Next Coronavirus Stimulus Bill

Increased abortion funding. Stimulus checks for illegals. Permanent housing guarantees. Mail-in voting for elections. Minimum wage hikes and more union access. The large-scale release of imprisoned criminals. An extensive national disease surveillance program.

82eb2f_supreme-court-immigration-53827-nancy-pelosi-chuck-schumer-house-speaker-640x427.jpg


These are just some of the far-left, Big Government proposals being peddled by influential progressive organizations for Democrats to include in the next round of emergency stimulus funding, which the groups say should be at least as large as the $2.2 trillion CARES Act.

The Center for American Progress (CAP), which functions as an idea factory for the Democratic Party, compiled its wish list for the next round of recovery legislation during the Chinese coronavirus crisis.

The CAP recommends the construction of a robust surveillance program, including the following (below are direct quotes from the CAP plan):

    • Surveillance testing (including training volunteers) and to build tracing teams.
    • App development (or funding for state licensing of the technology if privately developed) that will be necessary for instantaneous contact tracing.
    • Additional funding for developing a national disease surveillance program going forward.
CAP wants to use the pandemic to fundamentally transform the voting system, requiring all states to “significantly expand vote-by-mail opportunities; implement at least 14 days of early voting; adopt online and same day voter registration.”

Here, CAP, which is funded by billionaire activist George Soros, joins a slew of other Soros-funded progressive groups seeking the expanded use of mail-in balloting for elections by citing fears that coronavirus makes it too dangerous to vote in person.

There's idiots everywhere. I seen a few restaurants here in Pigeon Forge had a sale on their inventory. I learned about it after the fact.

Assuming this is all accurate, the Republicans can't let this pass. None of the things in the first paragraph have anything to do with the coronavirus.
