Here is a fairytali about Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland.
We are getting back to normal, schools are open again,. I had a meal in a restaurant yesterday and had a few in a bar after. The virus is pretty much gone here, for some reasons, that Trump did not grasp :)

I agree that Trump is bad and that's a huge problem I'm trying to fix

fixing;) yeah, alright I am waiting to see who he pick as VP. Then I can agree, or disagree with you

Whoever he picks is not going to threaten to murder a bunch of Americans so it's still fine

THAT is strange, I MEAN, THAT IS THE ONLY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS RIGH NOW. Lets face it, Biden is out of his league, and out of his mind, and the only big question is who will be VP, because that is who will rule the Muricans for a long time. Biden will keep on Hiden, and he will soon be sliden of the POTUS chair, gone and not missed a single day,.

In fact the VP pick is really, really, interesting to me, and it should be for you 2, all of you

@duckzilla
guess you did managed the crises as well

I have that strange taste of vomit in my mouth after watching this. Guess that's a typical German reaction when I hear that people "should learn from Germany". Sounds like straight from the Kaiser's propaganda machine.

While the listed things all have a true core, things are a bit taken out of the context.
The thing on rents is true in general, as far as I know. You cannot be easily kicked out of your home and not at all instantly. Even if you fail to pay rents there are lots of delays to kicking people out.
"Everything you owe the government, you can pay next year" is true, but (to my knowledge) only for businesses.
The "free money" does explicitly not help most artists. It is only allowed to be granted to cover running costs, which most artists do not have. There are millions who don't get a single dime.

I don't know about other countries, but things are not as perfect as this video makes you believe. And the crisis is not over yet. Let's look at it in two years and try to do a conclusion.

sorry about that @duckzilla I was trying to post you a happy video, and according to this one, you were doing good.
Scandinavia is doing very well though, except for Sweeden. Sweeden did next to nothing, and many people died there.
In the other Scandinavian countries, they do pretty well, (as usual), and we are soon back to business.

The media wants it to seem close because they profit off the horserace. Trump supporters want it to seem close because it lets them ignore the polls. Leftists want it to seem close to say that Biden is a weak candidate. Biden supporters think it seems close because they're paranoid because of 2016. But reality doesn't reflect this

And betters pretend it is close because they want to lose money?

Yes

It must feel terrible being a professional comedian when real life is just so much funnier than anything you can come up with

Given that the Trump presidency is basically over now, this topic is going to get quite boring. Maybe we don't reach page 666 anymore :(

Biden is winning!

[n0el]

I am not sure I'd be that confident. I think he's probably winning but it's within margin of error in the polling for swing states.

He's leading in basically every poll against an incumbent. I get being afraid of people being complacent but it's okay to acknowledge reality and see that Trump is doing very badly

Sure, that's an optimistic way to look at it. But if you just really on the data, it's not a rosy picture, considering that if it's an approximate tie, Trump wins. He controls every lever of power and will use them.

Nah. I can somewhat see Americans voting for Trump in 2016 because it is such a funny joke and because Hillary was annoying. But given that Trump achieved the astonishing feat of overseeing the richest nation on earth crumbling down due to his incompetence and complete lack of action in both the corona crisis and the current race riots, I think there are millions who will vote differently this November. I don't think that the corona crisis will be over in November, maybe even the race riots will still be there.

One worry still is voter suppression. If COVID is still a thing in November (which is looking likely), the GOP will use it to find even more ways to stop people from voting.

And claim fraud and not step down even if Biden wins. This is the nightmare scenario.

I listen to the people who are in the room with me gloating about police brutality and I'm not so sure about the Biden win.

I mean anything can happen but if you look at polls it isn't particularly close. Trump is doing horribly, especially considering he's an incumbent candidate

We had this situation in England with our nice with our friends in the Muslim community, apparently many people in that community were voting via mail even though they weren't on holiday and the polling station was quite nearby to where they lived.

In my role as Vicar I successfully relieved local tensions by visiting with the Imam, he assured me as a man of the cloth and a fellow Abrahamite that this was all in accordance with custom and this was nothing more than idle tittle-tattle from the local friendly Nazi revisionist/accelerationists at number 26.

Suitably assured I shared that matter with my wife Marjorie, I have to confess I was taken aback by her statement that I might have been a little naive and mildly upbraided her for her lack of faith in her fellow man.

She promptly left as it was Tango night at the hall, I was sure that was Tuesdays, so I got a bottle of liebfraumilch by way of apology.
