    They would accuse me of suffering from a hoax, since they believe its a flu or cold bug cooked up by Chinese scientists, working in cahoots with Democrats and media. They think this whole thing is a hoax to bring trump down. They then switched over to some religious school or teacher being discriminated against.

    Yea... a long weekend. I will be gassing up their truck on Sunday I hope...

    Not at all TJ, you just failed to understand my point, which is surprising given you claim to be highly intelligent.

    My point is that you accuse the left of running a smear campaign while your post is nothing but one big smear on the left. You are accusing one group of what you are terribly guilty of. This is what Trumpies do. This is what Trump himself does.

    The reality is that Trump and his admin really screwed up the response to this thing. The American people are not fools. Everyone can hear him speak and contradict himself and his own administration on a daily basis. The spin by you and others will not succeed in convincing anyone of the truth deep inside that you know to be true:

    Your emperor has no clothes.

    He doesn't belong in this position. He's unfit. And he will be kicked out in the fall despite inheriting one of the best economies in history. But his biggest failure will be how he handled this. With utter incompetence.


    The virus did not come directly from bats. They believed it went through another species as the genome doesn't match bats well enough. You really need to get the facts and not depend on the right wing fear mongering news

    Why are all public announcements just big Trump ego-stroking ads?

    Leader McConnell:

    1) utterly abdicated his responsibility to the nation to try to work through the crisis, probably none of the worst we have ever faced.

    2) to fly to another city, from a known CV hotspot (how hot is unknown due to no testing)

    3) after known association with a number of CV+ individuals from CPAC, Senate, etc

    4) to attend a group swearing in ceremony for another hack judge

    Again, I have no words for these people.

    I would say if anyone deserves a bad case of COVID19 it's outrageous idiocy like this. But then this ass will probably take medical care away from someone who needs it and who is less of a piece of ****.

    A president should be strong enough to handle legit criticism. That's the job of the opposition. And all of these things were serious issues - notice the Dems didn't go after for Trump's violation of classified information - he's made a ton of other mistakes and broken laws (using his personal phone for US business is one big one) - lots have been overlooked. Clinton didn't do anything nearly to that level yet she is attacked for emails and benghazi - both of which were a witch hunt. Whitewater was a complete witch hunt.

    But Russia wasn't even by the dems, it was by a Republican investigator appointed by a Republican who was put in his position by Trump and supported by a Republican Senate. How can you call it a liberal witch hunt???

    He has handled it. It has been constant. I am not excited about it, but this will be his biggest test.

    How do you know how many deaths you have?

    If there is no testing there is no Covid-19 death.

    There is a "flu" death , a death due to bilateral pneumonia and a death due to organ failure.

    Until you test the remains these aren't Covid-19 deaths.

    Now tell me how you are checking the remains, if the whole city of Houston can only give 29 tests a day for 7 millions of the living.

    Handled it and been constant? The only constant thing is his contradictions and mistruths. He has given us bad info and delayed action that will cost lives.

    The fact that I can't even get a test is absurd. We're two months into this and other countries are testing like crazy. Us? No tests unless you are a jazz player or a senator.

    It boggles my mind how much people go to defend the man. Even the Washington Examiner - a conservative news outlet - criticizes trump. @Trader_Jorge does that mean the Examiner is waging a PR campaign against trump?????

    Even this paper is showing nervousness and criticism when it praises him - heavy criticism - of how he has handled this:

    if they do it now yes, it's a hunt. if they do it after folks have calmed down, then it's journalism. i prefer like the latter.

    Sadly, probably right. Youth don't/won't/can't vote for many reasons. They are the single most powerful voting block out there and they are not counted.

    If they didn't do it now, Trump wouldn't have taken action. The pressure is what pushed him to do something.

    You have to admit that he has failed us all with this crisis. He botched it. And there is no spin - everyone saw it. It's just a question of who cares or doesn't care.

    Yes, he made mistakes and there should be hearings after we are through with the crisis. I think he took action because **** got real imo.

    So let me get this straight, trump says something or does something and you want the press to wait to report on it?

    Gee, you'd think republican congressmen would simply vote for what they think is right?
