    Even the Republican Party itself held events in Trump Properties, spending well over a million dollars overall. And this includes things not related to Trump, like state party fundraisers.

    They must like it. After all, they are still giving money to Trump's 2020 campaign even though the 2016 campaign put $13 million ($13 million!) back into Trump properties and the current campaign is paying Trump & Co's legal fees ($8 million so far) and I'm sure won't be skimping on the kickbacks either when campaign season starts.

    I think it appeals to their zero-sum philosophy of economics. There's a winner and there's a loser and you admire the winner - even when he made you a loser.

    Judges, abortion & owning Libs means they ignore and even encourage all the sleazy behavior. That's why Democrats need to tie this criminal administration up with investigations & impeachment if the evidence calls for it (of course there's evidence. Pelosi is slow walking everything).

    Ever since Ebola because I was born in a West African country, I am persona non-grata, even my wife too as she has had sex (vary rarely) with a person from West Africa.

    Alabama has the 2nd highest infant mortality rate and a high maternal mortality rate. obviously the fetus is of greater importance than expanded medicare.

    And let's us not forget the guy who listened to Dodson and voted for Trump to end abortion. He got his wife deported but is still considering voting for Trump again.

    Bobby!! You either lurk with the best of them or have an alert. Either way great to have you here, sit down and hang around a bit.

    Btw, why is JT not liked by some Canadians? I live by the border and seem to always run into the Canucks that hate him.

    Can we call it welfare? Are we dis-incentivizing their will to work? @Auriaprottu help me out here, I am forgetting all the anti welfare jargon throw at blacks and minorities.

    I thought you could only get ebola from a corpse. I'm no doctor, but it seems to me that she should be fine unless she's committing the Victimless Crime.

    While that's amusing, it is wrong. Ebola is most commonly transmitted through fluids - of live people.

    It would be a way more dangerous disease if it persisted for long in the dead.

    You can handle the dead in-- what is it @Timon19, 16 hours?-- without extra special precautions because they are no longer contageous. They are still pretty messy though...

    Something like that.

    Plus, one of the biggest factors in the spread of a disease is its virulence. Of it's too efficient at making dead people, outbreaks peter out much quicker. If making dead people no longer makes a difference to the spread of the disease, it's gonna spread further quicker regardless of its virulence. Ebola, thankfully, behaves itself in this respect.

    Ebola is a virus, and therefor needs a live host to survive and be passed on.
    But apparently the most contagious point of Ebola is immediately after death, specially on the surface of the dead. That was a huge issue in the West Africa outbreak a few years ago.
    The virus also seems to be able to survive up to a week after the infected dies.
