I concur with James Mattis on this point - the greatest threat to the long term national security is the debt.

That being said, if you honestly believe that a second Trump term represents a real extinction level threat to the human species, then I can understand desperation to avoid that.

I think I would question your judgement in such a case, but at least not your consistency.

Personally, neither of these men deserve my vote, and neither will receive it (shrug).

What's wrong with your comprehension of what I post? I said the survival of our LEADERSHIP in the world. That's what is getting extinct. NOT the human species. Gee!

Please don't put words in my mouth. Please read my posts accurately. And you did quote my very post, with my very phrase that I now have highlighted in bold above, so, from this to the extinction of humankind there is a VAST difference. I'd expect more from you in terms of comprehending a post, unless you want to be deliberately disingenuous.

And it isn't so difficult to see that Haas above was the one talking about the extinction of the species... not me. Better proof, he took that very quote of mine and had to MODIFY IT to make his point.

So, when you react to a post, see if you can manage to react to the RIGHT poster, OK? The one who ISN'T talking about the end of the species.

PS - If you think debt is the biggest threat (a defensible position), then you might have an interest in realizing how Trump is increasing it to a degree never seen before.

Please take COVID-19 seriously; don't panic but don't deny it; practice social distancing (stay 6ft from people); wash your hands a lot, don't touch your face, don't gather with too many people, so that you help us contain it.
