I mean **** if I knew on a basketball message forum back in January, the ****ing President certainly did and with far more detail. dachuda just pulling **** out of his ass to defend Trump. Trump fellates himself enough with the daily press conferences. Why do his supporters add more to the spitshine? I'd love to see a Mojoman like comic of Trump slobbing himself cartoon fashioned only to come up for air with sayings like, "I'm doing a great job!", "Hands down, best President!" and "I give myself a 10/10."
Sad but unfortunately not surprising. Judaism has always been an easy scapegoat and with Passover now it wouldn't surprise me to hear about anti-Semitic attacks.
With the new bad unemployment numbers coming in look for more pressure to reopen the economy. My Trump loving uncle last night repeated the nugget that he's in his 60's and has asthma but he would willing to risk it to get the economy going again.
What does that even mean? That he's gonna go outside and start shoveling snow off people's driveway? Run a side gig and start delivering pizzas? Buy a ridiculously priced PPE from Jared's Etsy page that suspiciously dons the WH logo? Purchase a WW2 Halloween costume and storm the streets of Iwo Jima and campaign it all the way to Wuhan?
He's saying he would go out and go to bars and restaurants etc.. It's just regurgitation of talking points. Death by respiratory failure is a pretty horrible way to go and I don't think he would actually be willing to do that. He's one of these guys that believes the media is exagerating the severity of this disease.
Tell him that if it was a hoax, King Don's CDC wouldn't be so willy nilly about sending infected healthcare workers back into the trenches after 2 weeks. Catch 22 was a book before it was a movie...before it was a phrase. https://thehill.com/policy/healthca...-for-essential-workers-exposed-to-coronavirus And if he does know about it, he's part of the problem of deferring responsibility and sacrifice to those who "signed up for it."
Aside from making the curve go vertical (btw, " the number of dead bodies doubling only every 7-10 days" is not really the ray of sunshine you would believe it is, despite the Fox News School of Public Health's rigorous assessment - I don't even know what "open up the economy" even means - tell all shuttred restaurants they have to open by executive order? I'm sure diners will be flocking back. Really doesn't seem like anything can be opened till we have testing and a treatment, as well as clear-eyed leadership. We have none of these things. But every megachurch super spreader event puts us further away from the day that we will "reopen" whatever that means, so go ahead and keep taking us all down and making everything worse. Republicans gonna Republican.
"B-b-bu-but look at all dem infected Asian countries getting back to work! Dey funny lookin with their masks but dey doin sumthin right dat Libs dun want us to do!" ::reads the personal invasions of civil liberties Asian countries impose to contain COVID19:: "Dats unAmerican, but dey doin sumthin!"
"Yea... can't believe the Chinese when they say xxx people died but just look... they are getting back on the trains, why can't we?"
Downplayed it by locking down 60 million people and reporting 4% death rate and firing about 400 top officials of the province? How dumb can you BE? you need to stop deflecting for your trump master. He killed 15000 people and more piling up....because he let it spread to 450000 cases after less than 100 cases on March 1.
What a disgusting creature. When China was fighting the virus, the assholes were celebrating and fabbing..... now look at the shithole they are in.
Saying his reaction was not perfect would imply it was good - it was terrible. Since taking office and till date, Trump's preparation and handling of the pandemic has been very poor. This has nothing to do with China or WHO (you can try to blame them all you want) but that given the same circumstances, many others would have handled it much better than Trump did and continues to do.
