Bernie has over 550 delegates and between 36-40% (or more) of all pledged delegates by the close of Super Tuesday.


I’ll second this.

About time.

Dems were buying votes with that program, giving away our tax dollars in exchange for votes.

Good to see that scam curbed a bit.

From what I read recently here and there, it seems Coronavirus:
1. More infectious than the flu
2. Higher mortality rate , 1%+, flu 0.1% (10x higher mortality)
3. Long virus survival on surfaces
4. Long incubation in host

I sure don’t want to catch it.

Those first two statements are pure bullshit and an outright lie.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/02/live-from-hong-kong-to-date-in-2020-influenza-the-flu-accounts-for-more-than-50-times-the-number-of-deaths-as-the-coronavirus-in-hong-kong/

Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas on earth with a population of around 8 million people. As of this morning there are 94 coronavirus cases confirmed and two deaths in Hong Kong. The percent of confirmed cases to total population is minuscule at 0.001%. Deaths as a percent of the population are thus far at 2 deaths in 8 million.

China has a population of around 1.4 billion. The number of coronavirus confirmed cases stands at 79,251 with around 2,700 confirmed deaths. The percent of confirmed cases to the population is also minuscule at 0.0056%. Deaths as a percent of the population are basically nil. These numbers are based on reported cases which may or may not be accurate.

The US has reported 64 confirmed cases to date of the coronavirus and no fatalities. With 350 million Americans the number of confirmed cases is also at amounts almost nil with no deaths.

Since the beginning of the year the flu in Hong Kong has been much more consequential than the coronavirus:

The Centre for Health Protection announced today that the winter flu season has ended. During this period, 113 adults died of influenza and no deaths from children were recorded. The Centre reminds the public that although the winter flu peak period has ended, citizens should continue to maintain personal and environmental hygiene to prevent respiratory diseases.

We know that the flu kills thousands in the US each year:


Please folks don't be China's useful Idiot bitch.

Of course, the MSM will continue to parrot Democrat talking points that the coronavirus is the worst crisis since World War II. The data simply doesn’t show this and to date the common flu is much, much more deadly.

The mortality rate for healthy adults is 0.2%, so 'only' doubly lethal compared to the flu. It does seem to hit the elderly and sick much harder than the flu which in turn is more dangerous to kids. Seems to be more contagious than flu but it's not proven since many cases go undetected for both.

In the past 5 years I have taken my mortgage from $140K down to less than $25K I'll be paid off this year. Since I started slamming my Mortgage, the Insurance company has backed off and hasn't given me a substantial increase. They are nothing more than bully predators, they raise the insurance on those who they know can afford it least.
For about 4 years straight starting about a year after I moved in. They would send an inspector out, a bum really with no real credentials. Which a week later I would get a letter explaining why my Insurance was going up $500-$1K more a year. I would replace Electric boxes, ripped out window units and put in split ACs on my flatroof rooms in the back. It didn't mater they next year they would find a new reason. Finally after about 4 years of it, and about 5 years ago, they told me. No matter what they would always raise my insurance because I have more than 10% under flatroof.

They fucking know they'll never ever see another penny from me. If I had of had the money I have spent on Premiums since I have been here, sitting in the bank. Then when I got hit by Hurricane Irma I would have my roof fixed a week later. But because of the bureaucratic bullshit in dealing with the Insurance company, it took me over 1 1/2 years before my roof got replaced and all of the work was done. Which may have caused more damage, my roof was open with just the underlayment on it for over 6 months. That's not the insurance fault, but it's because the insurance company tried to lowball me and give me a check for $700 just to patch. The roofer company went to battle with the insurance company and fought to make them pay up for the full roof replacement which I needed. By then my roofer kept telling me, the white roof tiles I want are in high demand, and other reasons.
But had I been paying out of my own pocket and didn't feel beholden to the company that at least got the insurance company to do they right thing.
Then I could have fired the roofer for not being on the ball. I was in trades for much of my younger adult life, I know how they will blow off jobs, they think they can bullshit.

I would have had my roof done before the month was over had I paid out of pocket. I plan on dumping my insurance and will be glad to justify it to anyone. I'll just make sure I put in a comparable premium into a savings account for maintenance and upkeep. That way I'll fix what ever needs it without some bureaucratic body's permission.

Homeowners insurance is for Suckers. Especially if you own outright. But don't be stupid, you got to put that money away for when you need it.

The loss of equity in the markets may be the oligarchs telling us they disapprove of the idea of electing Bernie Sanders.

Yes, because the oligarchs are the ones who control the wealth, they don't want communism.

Entrepreneurs don't want communism either.

Democratic socialists and communists forget where wealth comes from. Wealth is not just held by the oligarchs; it is the stock in trade that makes our economy go. Communists always claim to want to redistribute from the wealthy to "help the working man"; but they appeal to the lazy man. Wealth is created by work. It is not something that just is. It is created by creativity, sweat, tears, and suffering.

If you tell the working man "You didn't build that" after he spent his hard hours of labor creating something of value, he'll stop working. Take the fruits of his labor and redistribute it to those who don't work and pretty soon we will all be equally poor, except the redistributors, they'll be living in the old oligarchs castles directing the slave labor so that they can maintain their lifestyle.

Virginia is a Super Tuesday state, and has 99 of those delegates. Not sure if Bernie will clean up, as Bloomberg did some serious funding of many Congressional races in VA and Biden has support from ex-Hillary supporters, through ex-Governer McAuliffe and current Senator Tim Kaine. The Mayor of Norfolk, a Black man, has endorsed Bloomberg, so that may indicate where the Black vote may go. Klobuchar will not even bother to campaign in VA, sending her husband instead.

My state Virginia has turned Blue in the last election because of redrawn districts, the growth in DC suburbs, carpet baggers from Blue states, and an increased population of illegals. This new Dem majority is now seriously pushing driver's licenses for illegals along with automatic voter registration at the DMV.


Don’t let that happen like us dumb retards did in CA.

Wait, so Obama isnt responsible for Obamacare?

That's your angle? Wow.

How about the dodd/frank act that handed the entire financial system to the most powerful banks?

How about the bailouts and complete lack of criminal accountability for the housing crises?

How about... nevermind, you'll just blame republicans despite the mountain of evidence that Obama is a total corporate shill.

Why do you think billionaire MSM owners love him? It's not because hes for the people

You are more likely to die from the flu, but if you catch corona you are less likely to survive it than the flu.

Of course many people die from the flu.

Look at the OP


Your OP, as per usual is a lie.

Go watch the video and post a clip. Suggesting the prospect of a Bernie POTUS being one of many factors in the market is an absolute empirical fact.

Pretending anyone thinks Bernie is more than an off chance and anyone is "blaming" Sanders is an example of lying w rhetorical implications. Its not true, didn't happen, and it's meant to manipulate.

Why are you allowing lies to manipulate you, jazz?

The aim here is not to discuss or reject Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s personal opinion, since personal opinions are just that: personal.


PROFESSIONAL opinion.

Lee Kwan Yue ran Singapore for how many decades?

When you're in charge of a huge complex organization like a city-state for decades, it's no longer a personal, but a professional, opinion.

The Indian and Malay Muslims in Singapore are strict about their demands, but not so strict about the Singaporean Work Ethic, heh.

“and a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10:36-39‬ ‭ASV‬‬

In context of the entire chapter, it becomes obvious that Jesus is instructing his disciples in what they will face while spreading the gospel.
He doesn’t promise that it will be happy happy kumbayah, but rather that it will be hard and dangerous and you will make enemies and possibly be killed! In fact, you will likely make enemies of some of your own family by following and proclaiming the Christ.
It’s a super honest warning/instruction unlike any other religious leader would give.
In that, it’s unique and that lends even more credence to its historical and religious significance.

Given the poor data and misinformation, it is appropriate to question the generally accepted facts about coronavirus.

Your summary does reflect the facts being reported. Why should we trust the reports?

We know 1 US person has died so far. TPB mentions narrative contradicting facts that I don't have time to corroborate.

108854   clambo   2020 Mar 1, 9:54am  

Anthony Fauci wrote the mortality rate for Corona in China was reported as 2% and 1.4% variously.
He thinks that the case mortality rate was lower, since some people who were infected likely were not counted.
He wrote he thinks the case mortality rate is below 1% for Corona.

He wrote the flu case mortality rate is 0.1%

Last night I saw a new Bloomberg ad which said Trump was inept and incapable of responding to the threat to us by Corona.
It’s despicable behavior from a lying maniac midget, but it’s his money he’s throwing away.
