Born in France to American citizens (one a dual citizen)...one a Captain served that served in the Armed Forces and fought in Vietnam. I myself educated in the U.S. except for one year in my college education. I served in the military as an Army AirAssault Ranger / Officer active duty and then followed with service in the Reserves...voted in most elections since I was eligible except 2016 when I was hospitalized and the Bill Clinton years (didn't like anyone on both sides). Ex-militia in South Dakota...father's homeland. Own property (2nd home) and still pay property / state taxes in Illinois...still a register voter and still have an Illinois Drivers License. Also, I have a U.S. passport. In about 9 years will take early retirement and draw upon my social security...assuming there's still one. Yeah, I'm a citizen of United States, France and Canada. Therefore, yeah...I can talk about U.S. Politics, Canadian politics and French politics and vote. Actually, I have talked about the politics in all three countries but right now...concentrating on U.S. politics because we're about two months from an election. Its weird you think I can't talk about U.S. politics and you believe I'm following you around when in fact you have also been replying to me when I was talking to someone else on many occasions and sometimes I've been replying to your commentary to others...what's your point again ??? Here's what's truly weird...you posting images from almost 80 years ago to represent something that doesn't exist today and then you followed up with a statement that its dangerous when that same neighbourhood has been gentrified... That's weird and shows an agenda. Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid. - Colonel David Hackworth (Vietnam War Hero whom my old man had served with) Still think I don't know anything about U.S. politics or imply just because I can afford to live outside the U.S. and I have no merit in talking about U.S. politics ??? (that's a serious question) Your next step is to not reply to me nor reply in any threads I'm posting...we can then call it a truce...wouldn't want you to feel uncomfortable or weird.

How about I start a thread talking about WRB hidden bars and other bullshit? And how there is no edge at all trading them? In fact I think I will and see how "comfortable" you feel. You can ignore it if you want to!
I just realized that wrbtrader wants me to put him ignore. How funny is that? This is what I call a "hidden gap" of knowledge!
FortuneTeller, You can ignore me but I will continue posting to others. You're welcome to join in the conversation but NEVER imply I know nothing about U.S. politics nor imply I'm not American via your he's a Canadian comment. That's the line you can not crossed with me...not with a U.S. military veteran as I am. Don't let me in your head...I'm good at head games. Have a good day. wrbtrader
I like how Trump's so narcissistic that he gave Woodward an interview for another "Trump book" after he burned him twice the same way already.
People were upset? You mean Democrats were upset. When Trump said close the borders, Dems lined up to oppose him. If Trump said “up” Dems screamed “down”. Are we not supposed to allow citizens back into the country? Did not these individuals go thru quarantine and screening? You’re wearing Orange Man Bad colored glasses and they’ve jaded your view of facts.
Just in your head. Biden actually said : "We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus. We need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump's record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering. He is the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health emergency." Let's not forget Trump was blasting out" the Chyna virus" line etc.
So which is it? He down played the virus or he was fear-mongering? Just finished watching the segment on NBC’s nighty news, the MSM’s public narrative put out concerning Trump’s alleged Covid lies. Everything they quoted backing their claims was either unrelated or taken out of context, then they walked out Chuck Todd to restate their fabrication. It’s amazing watching the Media Matters brigade here on these forums spinning today’s narrative, you guys are good, get it out before the News. Bravo.
What you said is nothing to do with anything. He was down playing and xeno-mongering to make up a word. Trump was not quelling fears, he was creating dangerous confusion. The Chinese had no particular issue with travel bans, the EU was doing the same, even before. It was a necessity. Other neighbouring countries acted even sooner. Trump made the "just a flu bro" morons we had to put up with.
He wasn't fear mongering about the dangers of the virus as he should have instead saying it would just go away in the summer.
