Yeah I was a bit harsh. But we’re arguing our points. You’ve made them yourself before. When my family was battling COVID-19, you stated that I was making the thread all about me. You even went on to say, “spare me the poor lil ol’me story”. I was actually going through one of the most difficult times in my life. You and I have always played rough on xoutpost. One could say that I, or you have the fastest original equipment E53 (factory engine) on this forum. You and I have been jockeying for years. That doesn’t mean I do not have respect for you. I read all your posts thoroughly. You’re a very intelligent person. Sometimes our thoughts get the best of us. That doesn’t mean we throw in the towel because we disagree.

My reference was to the authority Pelosi currently has as compared to that of Trump. I am not downplaying her current position. I was contrasting the difference in the power of the President and her. As speaker she is primarily a watchdog for proper behavior and procedures in the house. The behavior of Trump is not justified or more acceptable by comparing it to the behavior of another. Trump is in charge and as it relates to the pandemic and his authority cancels out any that she has. She can make lots of 'noise' but that's about it. That was my point.

Ok, well “if” she were to become president. My point was, that these Woodward recordings that Democrats are getting all worked up about that they claim show a disregard for public safety as of February makes no sense to me. Because the one that is supposed to be the watchdog failed as well. She was clearly downplaying the virus.
I get it, you just don’t like Trump. I personally do not have a like or dislike for the president. The one thing he has done that I credit him for is, the massive support to Veterans Affairs. Under the previous administration Veterans were dying in the waiting room, before they received treatment. The system was a shambles. Also, I believe Middle East peace is important.

I'm not concerned about your scenario. If it were to happen tomorrow the world would become a much safer, kinder and significantly more rational place. I'm also fine with Biden to Harris to Pelosi. IMO Trump is a malignant narcissist. If that is the case, he has no limits for destructive behavior including nuclear war. He is the polar opposite of a stable genius.

I 100% disagree with you. Biden has been in Washington nearly 50 years. It is clear by now what he is about. Pelosi and Harris on the other hand have history in the Bay Area that few people know about. I do not believe it would be a safer, kinder, more rational place.
Plus a big one for me is, I am PRO LIFE. Somebody has to be a voice for the helpless late term (as soon as a heart beat develops) babies being murdered by their own mothers. It’s disgusting. A women does have the right to her own body. And that is to ensure that she safeguard her womb when pregnancy is not wanted. This notion of, I had a one night stand, now I’m pregnant and I don’t want it, is horrifying. Their not “it’s” their human beings. They just happen to be shacking up in the womb still. Whether in the womb or out, has no impact on their value. (Priceless).
You are correct again. I am not looking for a WHO led investigation. I am looking for a two nation investigational team, with Australia being one of them. Two major wealthy nations working together with no bias to go in and thoroughly investigate the COVID-19 outbreak in China.
China thus far has declined.
