Good Lord

Does that say it all,  does it.  no answers,  just condescending attitudes to others. 

How does your lord think,  of people like you,  who think so highly of yourselves,  and thinking you look down on others.

I would have anticipated your lord would be the only one looking down over others,  and the only one making judgements, on us all.?

 

I think your making a poor example of yourself,  in front of any god,  or others.

I've realised now one of the really valuable aspects of an internet forum founded on the basis of mutual random support for a football team is that it exposes one to the world outside of their normal social circles and media echo chambers. Scary stuff.

Yeah, the open border loving Democrats would be a much better option in a pandemic.  Jesus christ.

You should be kissing the ground knowing Trump is in charge.

It took you two weeks to get to my comment... have you checked the figures since my original comment at which time I think there were less than 100 cases?  The US as of today, has 4,657 recorded cases and in just the past day recorded 977 new cases.  This has nothing to do with the Democrats; Trump is the current POTUS and he has been failing miserably. 

My comments were made at a time when he was signalling that people should just go about their business as usual (including going to work), and telling us how he had it all under control, despite the warnings from health experts. 

You're so rusted on to right wing politics that you cannot see what is patently obvious; he has failed and is now scrambling to do something meaningful.  Kiss the ground knowing Trump is in charge??? Hah! Kiss my [censored]!

Care to share the plan you have to stop the virus and keep the economy afloat and enable people to earn a living and support themselves?

I'm sure the Word leaders are waiting for your advice, for that matter the advice of all those on here that have cut and pasted the words of journalists telling us how we should go about it.

As was said earlier there are plenty on here that want to turn this in to a right wing bashing competition. What has Elbows plan been, i must have missed it in amongst all the garbage in the papers.

Who is Elbow and what has he got to do with the situation in the US and Trump's ham-fisted attempts to manage it?

Tell us all what you would do if you were in charge?

I await your words of wisdom.

I don't understand your line of argument here, Dante.  Are you sticking up for Trump or just playing "whataboutism"?  And what the heck does an Australian politician have to do with USA's situation?

I'll meet you halfway and tell you what I wouldn't do, but what Trump and his administration have done:

1.  I wouldn't claim the whole thing was a hoax and a conspiracy by my political opponents and/or China.

2.  I wouldn't claim that fewer than five people would be infected.

3.  I wouldn't claim that the virus is just the same as the flu.

4.  I wouldn't claim that anybody who needed a test could get one.

5.  I wouldn't claim that we were very close to a vaccine.

6.  I wouldn't claim the virus will go away once the hot weather arrives.

7.  I wouldn't claim that risk to citizens is low.

8.  I wouldn't claim that the virus will miraculously disappear one day.

Now, I don't claim to have the solution to this problem but telling lies, being wrong about the facts and not acting a lot sooner surely doesn't help.   Thinking that Trump is unfit for the presidency doesn't automatically make you a "leftie", either.

There's a lot of wouldn'ts there but not too many woulds.  What about what you would do to fix the problem. I see, none. 

I think that the hatred of Trump is a requirement of the left.

My comment was about the overall discussion that includes Morrison as well. Morrison takes advice from the Chief Medical officer, not Karl Stepanovic and the other buffoons on morning television.

BTW, do you think "creepy" Joe Biden would make a better President than Trump? If you don't know what I mean, look that up.

I just told you I don't pretend to have the answers.  

What I was doing was addressing your apparent blind faith in Trump and pointing out how he has failed miserably on this issue.

As for bringing up Morrison and Biden,  again you're trying to move the goalposts.  I haven't and don't care to comment on either of those two individuals as they are irrelevant to the topic, which is how Trump had mishandled the virus pandemic.

I've made my position as clear as I can and have nothing further to add.  I hope that you and all other Demonlanders get through this crisis in one piece.  All the best to you and yours but it's over and out from me.

Your response has nothing to do with my post...it seems to be just an opportunistic attempt to bash what you perceive as a left wing attack. It was an attack on poor leadership and relates to their position in the US two weeks ago.  I think Demonstone has given a pretty good summary of where the POTUS has gone wrong. Hopefully he has since learned to take the whole thing a bit more seriously.
 

Albo not being PM is not responsible for how we approach this issue in Australia, so enough of your red herrings please.

It’s rather ironic that you claim this is just a right wing bashing exercise, when all your post does is blindly attack the left.

It’s pretty hard to avoid politics when the sporting bans etc are to some degree, politically driven. They are a part of the move to slow down the spread of the virus, and the discussion of issues relating to possible failures in addressing said spread should be expected.

Doesn't need to contain swipes at any political party or individuals, no-one on here knows how the alternate governments or individuals would handle the problem.

It's impossible to avoid politics on this site. 

Leftism is a mental disorder imo and unfortunately we have a disparate population of that demographic on this site. Leftists simply cannot avoid the temptation to share their leftism with others, regardless of how inappropriate it might be. It is ALWAYS a lefty who finds a way to inject politics into a thread.

My response was to your post but could have been to many before, I picked yours because it was closest to the end of the thread.

I have no love for Don and couldn't give a rat's about him or the USA, I probably should have responded to one of the digs at Morrison, I'm a bit over all the armchair experts blaming him for the way it's been handled. I dare say that none of those that have had a shot at him, wouldn't have done so if it was the Labor party in charge and Elbow making the very same decisions.

Well, going on your logic, most Demonlanders must be right leaning, based on the similar victim mentality they display in the belief that the MFC is hated by the AFL and umpires ?

A two week lockdown? Can’t see that achieving too much.

Assume it is a start... Might stop people losing their minds if 1.5 weeks in it's announced it'll be another 1.5 or 2 weeks rather than scaring people with a month straight up

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
