Conservative Politics & Daily Events Discussion

Quote from Frankie55

Not quite the same but I've watched some of President Trumps rallies and I pointed out to my wife the cherry picked components the main stream media would show the next day (cut and edited). Nothing about jobs, low unemployment, regulation reduction etc.

Sure enough the positive things were never shown.

You can do that for a Trump Rally, Democrat Primary debate... It isn't hard to make an educated guess, based on past practice, which clips CNN, MSNBC and FOX will cherry pick and spin. They all highlight and omit parts that help or hurt respectively their chosen narratives. Heck, I know instantly anytime any politicians talk to the press, which statements will get attention, be ignored and by which outlets.

It's a guarantee that if Biden does something bad, the MSM and liberal pundits will ignore it. It is a guarantee that Fox and Conservative Pundits will claim what Biden did is bad, call the MSM hypocrites for railing against Trump for a similar thing and not Biden, then defend Trump for doing that similar thing, which ironically is hypocritical vs. the MSM's biased reporting.

Calling out one and not the other is biased.

Calling out one and defending the other is hypocritical.

Agreed but from time to time I see Democratic candidates appear on right wing leaning media channels and they give them some degree of respect. I see may left leaning media sources do interviews with democratic candidates talking and smiling in an ice cream parlor. Then attempt to rip a right wing candidate to shreds without mercy. To a degree I agree with your statement but to compare the two, not even close. Watch the reporters and the degree of disrespect towards President Trump or any Republican. I don't recall any other president getting so much disrespect in history.

The View, Emmys, just about all Hollywood, musicians. All media platforms where it's not only popular to bash republican's but it's encouraged.

I agree to different platforms leaning to a particular view but I just don't see a comparison on a level field. In my opinion not even close.

well - - the crap from this virus has really hit the fan now. Riverside County (the county Palm Springs is in) has ordered all schools closed starting Monday 3/16 until April 6th unless it gets extended.

so no school - - no day care - - - and for parents with kids who dont have someone to watch their kids - no work. Add that to the canceling of all of our big events that normally happen this time of year and I suspect this is going to be the death of many of our small local businesses

So far the Indians have been keeping the casino open, but my wife tells me its been very slow which ,as a person who makes her money through tips, is not a good thing - -Sara has been doing okay so far, but many of her coworkers are not

On the bright side last year, knowing I am getting ready to retire (going be 66 in June) , I moved all of my retirement funds out of the market and into cash equivalents - - - my accounts haven't lost even a single dime - - - so thats a good thing

what really pisses me off is how the press has hyped this all out of proportion - - its so obviously their attempt to disrupt things in an attempt to hurt Trump - causing panic for political gain - - they should all be shot

Glad to hear all is well in your world.

Ok, here as well. Lara(wife) was told to work from home. Sterling(2 year old son) still has daycare, but could stay home with mom should it become cancelled. I am a vital service, so I will always be working.

I gather you don't buy, "We are doing this to slow the spread so that medical services aren't overwhelmed". I personally haven't heard much, "This is Trump's fault", "Trump is doing a horrible job"...which would be a stupid political tactic since anyone with any weight(news anchors, congressmen, governors...) that would say that would be at fault themselves.

Wolf good to know that some people here are vital. Is your son getting his share of Slingshot time.

He has gotten some, in the garage and basement, when not trying to look like Doc&Ruby

The red Sling pic is about a year old, I'll try to get a newer one.

My neighbor works at a casino also. Hope they are taking extra caution. Appears as though they are at a higher risk just by the nature of many travelers from all over the world. I have my retirement fund 80% treasury bonds, 10% S & P, 10% Nasdaq, Typically safe but this volatility is not typical. Retired in January but haven't touched it yet. Waiting for a recovery.

To all my friends that i haven't seen in over 4 years..

Fuck the virus.. They say that alcohol kills the motherfucker... Im staying. drunk for 30 days.. Bill Martin , MACAWS , EjFord , Slingrazor , and whatever the fuck you all names are I Love You!

Heard a news story this pm that we have a confirmed case in La Porte, IN. If we all take reasonable precautions all will be good. Stay well Al

Great idea EJ. Hope your work doesn't lead you into the situation! Watch for any unusual coughing/respiratory issues and follow-up if needed! Stay safe!

Quote from Bill Martin

This virus crap is getting bad !! They are actually ordering the closing of liquor stores. What an outrage, what a travesty, how can we possibly endure such pain !! I can wipe my ass with an oak leaf but fight this virus sober!!! The end is near my friends

I can see new whiskey stills under construction now!!
