Excellent! I love that EU countries have a low confidence in Trump. It means they're afraid he'll stand up to the unfair Trade Rules and their NATO underspending.

Trump is very popular in Nigeria and Kenya: https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/09/africa/africa-trump-pew-poll-intl/index.html

While international confidence in Trump's handling of world affairs has flagged across Europe and most of the rest of the world, opinions of the US President remained mostly positive in two of Africa's most populous countries, the research finds.
Sixty-five percent of Kenyans and 58% of Nigerians believe Trump "will do the right thing regarding world affairs," it finds.

Since People of Color love trump, it means that NOT loving and NOT supporting him is RACIST!!!!

There's also a large decrease in accidental deaths because of the shutdown.

But there will be a huge uptick in preventable disease deaths, due to delayed screening and treatment thanks to Coronapanic keeping people from medical facilities.

Suicides

Tim Aurora says

How to calculate deaths casued by a pandemic during a pandemic. We can do this by looking at weekly deaths and comparing those with previous years. In the midst of a pandemic, it is safe to assume that any extraordinary spikes in deaths are caused by the pandemic

We are only at 90% of expected deaths.

Percent of expected deaths is the number of deaths for all causes for this week in 2020 compared to the average number
across the same week in 2017–2019. Previous analyses of 2015–2016 provisional data completeness have found that
completeness is lower in the first few weeks following the date of death (<25%), and then increases over time such that data
are generally at least 75% complete within 8 weeks of when the death occurred.

The simplest way of tracking Covid-19 deaths, is to say all deaths are Covid-19 deaths.

LOL April 21 this Hoax falls apart 10 fold every week. April 21 was right around Trump was telling us all to brace ourselves for the worst week yet.
It never happened.

Haha, you don't think I can point out a single lie, of Rachael Maddow?

www.youtube.com/embed/DKuIjT-k-C8

To think I used to actually respect her when she was telling the truth about George W. Bush. I didn't realize she was just a partisan whore at the time. Fool me once!

She's just a propagandist.

Separation of families at the border started under William Jefferson Clinton, continued under Bush, continued under Obama, continues with Trump. Now she's suddenly "concerned" about it. She's just a sociopath. You are entirely wasting your time listening to these people. Hell, just to get through that video to check it, I had to play it at 1.5 times the speed. I don't know how people can stand to sit and listen to these people say nothing for so fucking long, and when they say something, it's bullshit.

I haven't watched television in 30 years. I don't know how you can stand to watch anything out of the propaganda box.

Ahhh, the Atlantic, MSNBC, all targeted to the Clerisy and giving all the mentally ill their alt reality.

Their dream is the destruction of all normies. They're mostly like fish tank cleaner wife, all deeply miserable and blaming the Chad's and Stacey's, stuck in 8th grade.

Funny that when Trump properties defaulted on its loans with DB, there was no great savior forthcoming from Russia, either from its banks or oligarchs to make the payments.

Trump properties simply asked for forbearance, the same as many other commercial property companies.

Kinda destroys the Russian narrative thingy again.

NoCoupForYou says

the Atlantic, MSNBC, all targeted to the Clerisy

The clerisy ("Educated people considered as a group; the literati.") feel deeply threatened by Trump and the emerging populism.

Their status and self-respect depend entirely on being better than the proles that they own and rule. The proof that they are better is their elite degree.

If a Harvard or Yale degree is no longer so valuable, then their own value drops, and this is their greatest fear. Lower status, perhaps lower income.

This fear explains the rabidly insane levels of hatred for Trump and populism among the clerisy.

Left likes to forget how they lost this popular vote.

So a bank that gave Trump loans to buy real estate may have been involved in money laundering that had nothing to do with the Trump loans.

I suppose all those people with Wells Fargo mortgages need to be held to the fire because Wells Fargo created false checking and credit card accounts..

German-Russian-Terrorist-Drug Cartel-RE Development Collusion!

Everybody knows the Left thinks that American Patriots have no rights to assemble and protest the Communist policies of the Democrats.

It's just a given Jazz, so what's your point?

You're only making your Comrades warm and fuzzy with this propaganda bullshit hit piece on fed up Americans.

How did Democrats get on so wrong, on the wrong side of History?

You are totally outclassed by this one video

Doomsday predictions were absolutely fake, based on bad science. So-called socialist Sweden did the right thing, perhaps because they did not need to bail out fucking banks, because they did not bail them out in 2008-9, and instead nationalized ones that went broke, leaving banksters with 1 kronor. I am amazed how our left-leaning Patnetters do not see an obvious connections of unnecessary corona shutdowns with the new wealth transfer to incompetent banksters/industrialists, called stimulus, and perpetrated in part by ORANGEMANBAD. Somehow here orange man is not bad, while in reality this seems to be the only bad thing he has done during his presidency, other than being a potty-mouth...

rd6B says

Of course the elite got bailed out at the expense of the proles once again, but do you think it was planned that way?

That is, do you think the shutdown was planned as a way to generate a bailout for the elite? That seems unlikely to me. The shutdown just seems like very poor judgement.

I can't make my mind up about this. On one hand, planning would require too much intellectual effort and coordination for it to remain secret, and usually simpler explanation (stupidity and desire for power-grab by local politicians, and limelight for researchers who tell us to panic) is right. Then again, think how elites would be able to justify bailouts of people who were bailed out 10 yrs ago if not PANDEMIC! WE WILL ALL DIE!

rd6B says

They desperately needed a black swan. A bad cold was not ideal, but when your desperate...

and another suspicious thing- Fed Reserve came to Trump with exact plans for bailouts immediately after he asked, not like 2008 when they were making stuff up as they went. May be so-called 'elites" were opportunistic and were just waiting for a crisis.

rd6B says

stupidity and desire for power-grab by local politicians

Also consider:

- businesses' fear of lawsuits kept them compliant
- most people in power are rather elderly, and they were probably afraid for themselves
- Fauci explicitly telling everyone to over-react

But sure, to convince people to do something obviously not in their interest, it is necessary to spread extreme fear. And bailouts for the rich were obviously not in the interest of the public.

Patrick says

And bailouts for the rich were obviously not in the interest of the public.

and Left is fine with these bailouts somehow...they should have been in arms against them. This shows, once again, that we have no party supporting labor any more.
Another funny thing is that some of my right-leaning TX friends who were against bailouts of 2008-9, now are all for them because Trump!

Maybe if we stopped importing poor who immediately breed poor children we could have fewer poor?

Maybe if we gave no money for the poor to buy fast food they would have to learn to cook.

The poor are generally fat sedentary slobs.

Being fat is a risk for Wuhan virus.

Stiglitz is clueless.

There was no Russian Collusion, the Russians didn't "hack" the DNC servers, Russia didn't "hack" our elections. I feel sick even listening to Maddow at this point.

"It's your problem, suck on it, and by the way, your taxes are still due."

I think Dems were counting too much on the blunderbuss of Panic Pandemic rising them further into power so they could just eviscerate the public for whatever they needed.

jazz_music says

These bailouts are worse than 2008-2009 in effect on America

yes they are
in essence every bailout of incompetent stupid hack CEO's begets another, larger bailout some years from now

Seems to be the whistle that keeps on blowing with no show results. Instead, they have had to make up all kinds of fakery in the meantime. Don't think I'll wait for the Deutsche Bank train to pull into the station anytime soon. There'll be tons of other made up shit in the meanwhile.

No, I feel like I'm wasting my time.

ALL "corporate news" in the United States is salacious garbage at best, or fucking propaganda at worst. It is a COMPLETE waste of your time to read it. So some loans to Trump were underwritten by a Russian state owned bank. Who cares?

Where's the collusion? How did Russia "hack our election"?

they made it ok to "not pay rent", yet taxes and mortages are still due.

When it comes to your money, fuck you. When it comes to their tax dollars.... give it!

Surprisingly real estate hasn't dropped much yet, I looked online, prices haven't gone down much.

It only falls here when people can’t hold on and must sell or foreclose. So probably won’t go down soon.

Commercial rents likely will go down. I can’t imagine empty restaurants paying high rates today.

That is a term that has a definition in the real estate business.

"Collusion" is a a term that has a definition in the real estate business?

jazz_music says

Trump used that word repeatedly when talking about the accusations of conspiracy between with Russia and him. At the same time the factual reports listed in the attached video clip support the accusations and so do financial conflicts of interest that came to light between Trump and a Russian bank which is the only bank that would loan him any capital. So Putin can call Trump's note due any time he likes.

Hahah - even if Putin had direct control of the bank, it would be a national security issue and the underwriter would simply be changed, but it's not even that simple because Douchebank is the lender. The underwriter is just guaranteeing the loan and making money off from a spread. There's no reason for Trump to even know who the underwriter is.

jazz_music says

These are facts and they are not repudiated by your wholesale beliefs/feelz.

Gosh. You guys really are nuts.

Let's say Trump DIRECTLY borrowed money from the Russian Mafia and they called in their loan - what would happen?

It would be a national security issue, a US bank would take over the loan.
