Trump VS COVID-19 Threat

[Half-Life]

Wait, your evidence for the virus not starting in a lab in China is that "China said it didn't?"

Seriously? I'll ask again, WHY DO YOU GUYS TRUST A COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT SO MUCH?

No, Patooka's evidence against the crackpot conspiracy theory is exactly the same as the your evidence in favor of the crackpot conspiracy theory, absolutely none. Guess which one of you has the burden of proof. Oh, wait, what am I asking, you don't even know what "burden of proof" means nor who holds it.

How is it a conspiracy to say that China lied? Unless you believe China is incapable of lying because it's racist to say Asians can lie or something.

You guys are turning into a cult of China.

Do apes read philosophy?

Wait, what is anyone's evidence that I don't have an invisible dragon in my garage?


And on other silly rabbit holes:

In 2015, the Pew Research Center conducted a survey of 2 thousand adults which concluded about 12 percent of liberals and 10 percent of conservatives believed that childhood vaccines are unsafe.

Since then, other studies have produced similar results, such as:

University of Idaho
Yale University
Fordham University
Even the latest vaccine exemption data from the CDC reports neither political party is worse or better than the other.

That isn't comparable. We have evidence that China lied since the beginning. They said it can't spread from human to human. This made us relax a bit until they told us it can spread human to human. By then the damage was done and Trump was getting all the blame for not doing anything in January, even though that's when China was lying to us and Fauci was still telling us to go party on cruise ships on March 9.

How does that even make sense? You guys wanted Trump to do something in January, but there was Fauci on March 9 telling us to go party on cruise ships if we really wanted to.

You betcha its comparable. Since Clownstick has had sex with a porn star, therefore he likes prostitutes to pee on him...


Hint: A country lying about something isn't evidence of XYZ bullshit story.

No idea what that was meant to convey. I'll chalk it up to TDS.

 

[Loren Pechtel]

Correct. It was Iran's money that Obama RETURNED to the as part of a deal that kept Iran from developing nuclear weapons, and with which Iran complied until -

The fuck up was Trump pulling out of the nuclear deal.

... which caused Iran to resume development of nuclear weapons. MAGAMAGAMAGA

They never complied. The problem is the agreement involved only inspecting their known nuclear facilities--and had no meaningful ability to stop them from simply building new facilities.

Focus on the bolded part and think real hard.

The fact that I have a 2 car garage, is evidence of my invisible dragon. See the illogical?

Well, it looks like the virus originated in a lab in China. China will have to answer to the world.

Wow. Just fucking wow. It has gotten so hard for me to keep from insulting you Halfie that congratulations are in order. After having posted on various incarnations of this board since the early 1990's, you are the first person to have ever made it on my ignore list.

My posts do not contradict each other.

Or are they going so because someone on Fox & Friends claimed that a massive increase of testing was unnecessary? That would have the effort of Trump believing it, something that I recall him recently claiming, and that would have the further effect of making increasing testing a low priority.

'Nothing to worry about' and 'it's being contained': How Trump officials downplayed the coronavirus - CNNPolitics
It's damning.

This is tRump's chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow:

Also

Even as the death toll continued to rise and the stock market continued to plunge as the virus spread, Trump officials confidently projected that the United States was either ahead of the curve in responding to the virus or that the risk to the average Americans was low and there would be minimal impact.

These comments came as some White House officials and intelligence agencies warned privately of a pandemic, saying it could claim millions of lives and inflict trillions in economic damage.

President Donald Trump echoed those comments himself, oscillating between claiming the virus was like a flu and would disappear miraculously to claiming that "maybe" the coronavirus improved US job numbers to blaming the media for overhyping the virus.

No mention of tRump calling the virus's pandemic potential a "hoax" for unseating him.

For sure he was calling it a hoax then. Now that he knows it's not a hoax I just wonder why tRump is still dilly-dallying and still failing to throw all the resources that he as at ramping up testing capacity and speeding the results. It's the #1 thing that he is able to do and yet he and Pence appear to not give a shit. Can he still be that stupid or is he trying to get people killed and allowing the economy continue to tank because anyone with a brain knows that it doesn't have to be one or the other. With massive increased testing, speedy results and contact tracing a lot fewer people will die and the economy could be opened sooner. Is he purposely slowing down the testing effort so that he can have Governors to blame?

Well you guys wanted Trump to do something in January, but on March 1 Governor Cuomo said there was no problem. Then he whined about Trump not doing enough for his state and how he needs ventilators. But, it turns out he had stockpiles of ventilators in a NY warehouse and he just refused to use them just so he can continue his media war with Trump to make him look bad. He chose to engage in TDS than save his New Yorker's lives. Pretty sick and disgusting, isn't it? The level of TDS here.

Truth hurts. Even moronic governor Gretchen "Lottery tickets are essential but joint replacement surgery is a criminal offense" Whitmer in Michigan is dealing with protestors. There's no leadership from our governors, that's for sure.

He isn't stupid, he's negligent. He doesn't need to do a good job because his political support is based on his image as a disruptive outsider and strongman.

No matter the outcome, Trump will take credit for whatever he can and blame others for whatever he can, even if he has to make things up. Even with a huge death toll and massive economic impact, Trump can still campaign on MAGA and the Wall.

He's giving his press conference now. He just said, "Notice you don't hear anything about ventilators anymore. Now the complaint is about testing. We are now hoping the Democrats vote 100% on the small business money. Should be fully bipartisan."

Funny stuff.

 

[laughing dog]

What a laugh - there is still a widespread shortage of ventilators.

A good rule of thumb is that if Trump says X is true, that X is a lie.

He is a bit stupid and his negligence is deliberate and malicious.

So the consensus is that he is trying to get people killed so that he can blame the deaths and the rotten economy on democrats. I am coming around to believe that he really is that evil.

To Trump's credit, he's let tens of thousands die, so he still is in the clear on that tweet.

I really fear for what's happening in the US at the moment. Everything seems so divided and polarised. You are all one people and need to bring it together.
