    The other one of those asshats being the entire collective American intelligence agencies.

    You really need to stop making these "the whole world" blanket statements.

    They didn't call them ISIL until Obama told them to and went back to calling them ISIS after he left. No one is being told to say China virus, the name just stuck and it becomes more and more embedded in our language the more and more people argue about it.

    LOL. In the Trump bubble, who didn't call it that until two weeks ago when it was obvious the SHTF because of his sophomoric response, and he needed to dog whistle to his loyal lapdogs in order to shift the blame from his mediocre response?

    Whatever, Mr. Freedom Fries.

    Mediocre response? When he was putting together a task force, Pelosi was handing out impeachment pens.

    You seem like a decent guy, but why are the people who are obsessed with identities and labels suddenly horrified by an identity and a label?

    You, of course, mean while he was, at the same time, and is on record as doing so, dismantling the Pandemic Response Team?

    HE HAD A "TASK FORCE" FORCE FOR EXACTLY THIS TYPE OF EMERGENCY BEFORE HE DISMANTLED IT!!!

    You're trying to give him credit for reassembling it?

    Are you serious?

    Wait a minute, do you really believe he dismantled the task force? No, you cant really believe that when it's been debunked to death.

    There is one reason and one reason only why Trump continues to ID the nasty as foreign. 'It is not my fault.' Simple as that. It is his fault that the USA is appalling in its dilly dallying in seeing this thing for what it is....NOT just a flu that will just go away in April. Fauci has been candid, but he has been snake oiled by Trump.

    Does anyone associate Russia with accidental head shots when they hear the phrase Russian Roulette? Should Putin send some cash to Acosta so he can go on tv and call the phrase racist?

    Okay, but just making that criticism without explanation takes us now where beyond your personal bias to favour Humpty Trumpty.

    To name a virus by a geographical region is inappropriate, but excusable when the virus is novel and lacks an official designation.

    To name a virus by a geographical region is inappropriate and racist when the virus has an official designation.

    I 100% agree Mr Legal. But that is nowhere near what is going on in Humpty's mind. All he cares about is to ensure that this nasty cannot in any way, be connected to him. The fat orange puke fails to realise that no-one is blaming him for its creation. They do blame him for his absurd management of it.

    That it's RACIST? What if it came from our country and they called it the Australian virus? THAT would be RACIST?

    Trump doesn't have independent management over it. And thank God for that - no individual person is, nor ever would, even an EXPERT!

    So if the virus came from the US and was called the American virus, THAT would be RACIST?

    Well, the US does lead the planet in both number of cases and incompetence of its response, so...

    Criticisms of Jim Ocasta need no explanation, they are there for the world to see. And those who approve of him and how he conducts his defamation are of questionable charecter, umm no wait, there is no question about their charecter
    He exists solely for the purpose of charecter assassination and sowing divisiveness among Americans.

    The truth can never be racist.

    Without getting too bogged down or distracted by whether "American" is a race, yes, it would still be inappropriate.

    No, it wouldn't be inappropriate. The truth is the truth. If certain people are offended by the truth, that's their problem and does not indicate any wrongdoing on the part of the truth teller...
    Post modern thought about the truth is an abortion and perversion of thought.

    No ma'am. It's not the dress that makes you look fat, Sorry, young African males, something is wrong with your culture.
    Yo, hillbillies, drink less beer and don't marry your cousins it will make you smarter.
    The aids epidemic was caused by people doing bad things...

    Take your pick i don't mind offending people if I'm telling the truth and they have no right to be offended by it.

    You will never get me to agree that something is not inappropriate or not racist because it is the "truth" to you.

    I'm not talking about "truth to me"
    I am talking about thuth, it applies to everyone whether they like it or not.

    It's not racist to point out that most gun violence is done by minority gang members and drug dealers.

    It's the truth that the Aids epidemic was brought about mostly by gay men sleeping around and by people shooting up drugs ans sharing needles. Without those two almost no one would have aids.

    That's not the "truth to me" it is just the truth.. not open to interpretation or matters of opinion.
