Dr Fauci trusted China's data and concluded COVID is just a more serious flu back in Feb 28

Unfortunate? Yeah thats one way to put it.
It was a coin toss 50/50 and trump was lucky to get in on his electorate. So yeah already its a position of unfortunate since basically 50% where against the guy. So its not like we all were going to die on that hill for trump. We all pretty much knew this.

this is what it looks like when you let it ride. High risk. Its like telling han solo. "Never tell me the odds im a tough guy!"

In a high fail ..Does anyone REALLY realize that if its gonna go well 1 time, the other 9 times it will do what the numbers tell you?

Take some hydroxycloroquine! "What you got to lose?" Umm lol your life?!
the difference is we can't just call deutche bank or declare bankruptcy and move to the next scam.
Running it like a ceo? Yup and that means he is playing this like he has all these gimmies (he shouldn't right?) and a golden parachute (which he likely does). He will be long gone or dead and we will be cleaning up.

Risk reward is right but what was the reward? A good economy? To now have it be 20% unemployment and mass death? Thats like the rockets playing decent for 3 quarters..hmm..

If you can point me to some of that reward vs risk part because we are worse off now then obama. My work, wife work and everyone work is less certain and worse spot than it was before trump.So i ask again what was the reward against the risk? Remember you can be in las vegas and get up thousands to walk out holding your dick and zero. Worth it?

To be a tough guy? High risk means high fail and 20% unemployment and more dead than vietnam is something you have to live with when playing the high stakes with the big boys.. If only we could put the disease into a limited liability corp and then sell that off in chapter 7/11

again im trying to understand that part about what was the reward?
We can talk all day about what might have been but guess what it didn't happen like that. Look at the scoreboard- 20% unemployment and mass ded.
Is was a good try and you really wanted it to work but reality took over and the risk reward puts you where you are. Numbers game amigo. As president I dont appreciate us being the ones to have to take a hit ( example my wife is having to take on 20% pay reduction due to covid)
Trump tried to enrich himself and I dont doubt he will walk out with some dough. Better than when he came in thats for sure.

Tried to make america great again..then well ..

Because they dont have anything else. Its that simple.

We are at the part where 'what clinton WOULDNT have done' (let that sink in...)when we know she wouldnt have dismantled the whole virus response team and playbook and she certainly wouldnt be at a rally calling it a hoax in end of feb! But yeah this is what deflect and fail look like first hand. when you got nothing the only thing is strange unprovable what ifs. Sad is right!

extremely underrated comment and overlooked aspect.

Lol the fact this needs to be pointed out shows you the repugs dont even have a valid argument. Classic distraction but wouldn't expect anything less. After 9/11 and wmds ( have you seen em? ) I know that nothing is too low or dispicable for Republican party.

Trump is just a bumbling opportunist ill placed and tacky. The things dick cheney and company did in name of 9/11 makes trump look like a sweetheart schoolboy.

 

I am suspecting your effort isn't to switch blame for this from trump to "the voters".

Though to a degree... I guess voters could be to blame for voting in trump... heck, I guess voters are to blame for all of the horrible things trump has said, tweeted and done. Because it wasn't a surprises he would be this bad. Fortunately, voters have another chance to fix that in November (though my trust in republicans to not make that same mistake twice isn't high)...

 

There is a lot of truth to the saying "In a democracy you get the government you deserve." As a society we've come to prize attitude above competence and we like the outsider who keeps it real to stick it to the establishment forgetting that often the people who make up the establishment are there because they know their job. That is one of the reasons why we've come to where we are. People didn't like Hillary Clinton because she was the consummate DC insider and wasn't inspiring or entertaining. Hillary Clinton was also a very capable Senator and Secretary of State yet even within the Democratic party a lot of people saw that as a liability. In the general there were enough voters who also didn't like that she was such an insider and instead chose a reality TV star. He had a record of failures but people liked him because he was an outsider who was going to rattle cages.

Cages are rattled. The insiders are spooked especially the ones who have to hold it together. You can see that in Dr. Fauci's face everytime his boss says something that makes no sense or is inappropriate. Fauci is very much the bureaucratic insider representing the medical establishment and now he has to answer to the outsider. The man who has spent his life dedicated to science and medicine now answers to a man who's spent his life being a huckster and snake oil salesman.

 

Sorry, but no.

 

Best Governor!

 

Best governor after he just ****ed over minor league players by forcing them to earn below minimum wage? Crushing unions in the state? Crushing worker privileges? You people have the most pathetic standard for a governor. What has he done to be best governor. Clowns

Fauci is a crook and shouldn't be worshipped but that doesn't make DeSantis any good.

 

Glad we agree on that.

As to Florida's Governor, he just got re-elected and completely CRUSHED his Democratic opponent. So whether you like it or not, he is very popular in Florida.

 

detailed article that shows the "years of official claims to the contrary" were basically bullshitte

link will work for everyone

Behind Closed Doors: The Spy-World Scientists Who Argued Covid Was a Lab Leak
The idea that the pandemic’s origins lie with a research facility in China was once labeled a conspiracy theory

Who cares if the link works if it’s paywalled

 

Womp womp The Poors can't read.

 

TLDR me bro

 

gift link isn't paywalled, that's what makes it a gift

 

Must be my phones service, when I first clicked on it didn’t show any text. Figured it was my ad blocker blocking the paywall, but reloading it now it does work !

 

And it still is a conspiracy theory. There is no evidence that it came from a lab - in fact, just recently after sequencing all the viruses in the Wuhan la. none of them would be a ancestor for COVID. COVID is still most related to viruses found in the wild.

There evidence that it was natural. No evidence for lab leak. That doesn't mean there is a 0 chance it came from a lab, but yes, when people buy into something where not only is there no evidence, but the available evidence contradicts what they are pushing - that's in the area of a conspiracy theory.

 

okay

 

here's some slightly more lurid reporting
