No. It would be better to have Hildawg. That way, when you make a joke about her on a message board, you become the victim in one of those robberies where nothing was taken. You still end up with a cranial double-tap though.

I will take my chances with the guy that is in charge now.




I didn’t want Hillary either and that’s why I voted against her. Trump needs to be mindful this is an election year and all of the sudden he doesn’t have a roaring economy. Nows not the time for him to be acting like a child.

I 100% think Trump is childish. But the facking media called him racist for putting the earliest possible ban China travel in place. Then said he called it a hoax. To boot, China lied to the world for months about the extent of this and killed the doctors who spoke out about it.

So he can call it whatever the hell he wants as long as China gets the blame.

He also can be as childish as he wants to those pieces of shite in the media that try to use a situation where people are dying as a ratings draw.

Yet he wasn’t offended by the Chink in the armor comment

Fresh off a new hardwood triumph, Knicks phenom Jeremy Lin brushed off ESPN's tasteless "chink in the armor" headline Sunday, saying he didn't think anyone meant to be racist.

China has got to clean up its act. We should be procuring zero from them.

It adds up when Trump uses China flu even though we've been naming illnesses after their locations for centuries?


It's good to know who has no clue the standards are shifting directly beneath them.

Don't care. The virus started in China. Therefore, it is the Chinese virus.

When this shite blows over, the world should turn our collective back on China and make them get their shite together on their own. Make them join the 21st century as far as human rights and bring back as many industries as possible to the rest of the first world. Implement travel bans worldwide to Chinese nationals. Don't let them enter ANY country other than Nk or shitholes middle East countries.

Maybe even us, Japan, and South Korea just preemptively nuke em and be done with em. Then go take over the mineral deposits that China is trying to take hold of in Africa since the Chinese won't be around. Then ya know...profit.

After this, drastic fricking measures need to be taken against China.

Who harmed more people?

A: The Chinese government who for weeks covered up a viral outbreak, allowing thousands to enter and leave the affected area, causing a global pandemic that’s infected hundreds of thousands and bought the entire world to a standstill.

B: President Trump for calling the virus a name based on where it originated from, which has been standard practice for naming viruses for over a century.

Got no problems calling it the Chinese virus. That is unless it proves to be wrong. Such as the Spanish Flu likely originating elsewhere and Spain only being the first to widely report on it in their population due to their neutrality in WWI.

The name 'Jeremy' is not of the United States, nor American.

Why isn’t there the same stigma towards the Spanish Flu?
