    Give it a try.

    Explain to me the what "per capita" means in the context of how "America is the epicenter of the corona virus".

    I have a theory.

    "Mexicans are utterly prepared for the pandemic"

    That right there is hilarious. A real knee slapper.

    If your predecessor f^@&s it up, it's YOUR job to fix it. See how that works?

    You know what Trump would've needed in order to properly prepare the country for this crisis? He would've needed the cooperation of the Democrats.

    Have the Democrats cooperated with Trump?

    The only reason we're as prepared for this crisis as we are is because the Republicans cooperated with Obama.

    I wouldn't be a bit surprised, but how did the dems hinder the preparations for this kind of emergency?

    You cited his three years in office. So are you saying that the pandemic unpreparedness was Trump's fault from the MOMENT he took office? If not, then at what point during his term did he become responsible for pandemic preparedness?

    Militarize both sides of the border and make it a DMZ hot zone, permanently.

    Russian collusion delusion, Kavanaugh dog and pony show disgrace, sham impeachment...

    Imagine if all that time, money, and effort had been devoted to preparing the country rather than squandered on failed attempts to sabotage Trump.

    It all seems like such foolishness now, doesn't it? Nothing accomplished, nothing gained, much wasted.

    No cooperation, all sabotage.

    OK, I see what you're asking now.

    Keeping in mind the fact that the US has not declared war since 1941, even though we've been invading and raising hell in countries all over the world for almost 20 years under the AUMF, the action Barack "started" was that in Libya.

    Are you happy now?

    Actually Obama was not responsible for the war in Libya. We participated but the UN lead:

    One assumes you have evidence he tried and the Democrats blocked his efforts. Of course you don’t. You like Trump are just making it up!

    The Democrats block all his efforts. Everybody who's been paying attention knows that.

    They even blocked his efforts to get relief money to Americans with their progressive-crap pork barrels.

    Even simpler: The :democrat: controlled Congress never appropriated the $ for the replenishment. President Trump doesn't have the authority to take $ from one appropriation, and spend it elsewhere.

    Does anybody remember Obama dealing with anything like this constantly and relentlessly?

    Gee, why ever wasn't any planning and preparation getting done over the last three years? It's just a complete mystery.

    So you have no evidence he even made any effort to upgrade preparedness. Hell he didn’t even get serious about testing and PPEs till mid March.

    Remember the McConnell quote about not letting Obama accomplish anything?


    WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell came under sharp attack from the White House and Democrats Tuesday for saying that his top priority in the next Congress is to ensure that President Barack Obama serves only one term.

    The Kentucky Republican made the statement during an interview with National Journal. But it's a variation on a line he has been using as he has stumped the country on behalf of Republican candidates in advance of the Nov. 2 midterm election.

    "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president," he said in the interview.

    With a Republican takeover of at least the House looking likely next week, McConnell's comment was seized upon by Democratic critics as a reflection of the GOP's determination to pursue a strategy of conflict rather than conciliation with the White House over the next two years.

    "It's a deeply disappointing message that, regardless of the outcome of this election, political gridlock and political gamesmanship is what the American people have to look forward to over the next two years," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters.

    "The job of the president and the job of any senator or any member of the House after this election is going to be solving the problems of this country, of which we know there are quite a few that need to be addressed," Gibbs said.

    McConnell spokesman Robert Steurer defended his boss' comments.

    "Ending the Obama administration's liberal agenda as soon as possible is Sen. McConnell's top political priority," Steurer said. "The American people are clamoring for a focus on jobs and righting our economy … and that's McConnell's focus for the next two years."

    The Republican National Committee did not respond to a request for comment.

    But at least one political observer said McConnell's goal should come as no surprise.

    "Of course, Republicans want to make Obama a one-term president — just like the Democrats had hoped to make President (George W.) Bush a one-term president," said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics.

    Still, he said, McConnell's aspiration "was poorly worded."

    trying to switch the topic eh! Guess that is an admission of defeat. And Trump couldn’t have had it too tough giving his record days playing golf and his endless hours spent watching television.

    We already know his administration was aware of the problem in early January and possibly earlier.Are you not paying attention?

    So you're saying it's Trump's fault for not working harder in the face of the Democrat's constant hostility, sabotage and lack of cooperation?

    You mean exactly like the Republicans treated Obama.


    And yes he is the President, at least occasionally when not playing golf or watching television

    And should you actually want to educate yourself even more than my posting on McConnell read this
