    Yes you did and obvious still do hate Obama’s well, from your posts, Obama’s everything
    But you seem to forget the hate that was poured out against Obama

    For nearly eight years I read post after post on the Birther conspiracy
    Then there was the golfing - which Trump has exceeded and then some - bot oh! That is OK because......
    Then there was the spending - national debt crisis - which Tramp has exceeded but that is OK because......
    Then there is the lying - repeated complaints about one count it ONE “lie” (you can keep your doctor...) - which Trump has more than exceeded but that is OK because..........
    And then there were the attacks on Michelle Obama most of which continue to this day but that is OK because........

    It's not just a matter of funny memes. The left will lie, cheat, and steal for power. I wouldn't put it past them to allow people to die from the virus to make Trump look bad. For them, the end justifies the means; it's for the common good if it advances socialism.

    We've seen what they did with the Supreme Court nominations of Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, making up lies about gang rapes, etc. And we've seem them fabricate Russia-Trump "evidence" to get Trump.

    Washington state blaming the lack of testing kits on their inability to be able to properly diagnose the disease carriers.

    Millions of people travel to Wuhan for an annual celebration. At least 3 million travelers left Wuhan before China locked down the city.

    There is truth in humour

    The core of this is the fact that trump has a hideous history when it domes to dealing with national crisis

    upload_2020-3-1_12-49-23.jpeg

    “WE” don’t have to do anything

    Trumps clear history of incompetence does that for him

    So who is now heading the taskforce for Covid 19?

    King County, WA has an Asian population of about 250,000. It would make sense if 5,000 (that's just a guestimate number...could be 3k, 10k, 50k) travelled to China to visit family and friends for the annual celebrations...especially if they are on student or work visas here.

    China wanted the tourist income and millions of people left just days before lockdown. No one was being checked for travel because China hadn't announced the existence of the virus. Symptoms sounds like people could easily think they just have a cold. People would also have reasons to not want to get tested, knowing the they'll be put under mandatory quarantine for 2 weeks and don't want to miss work or school.

    Media is being mysterious about who the person is who died, including conflicting stories on whether the person was male or female. They are talking about a rise in racism against Asians (which is a bad thing). The lack of details makes me think that the person who died lived in an Asian-dominant neighborhood and media doesn't want to increase irrational fears of Asians.

    We'll see if they release any more details in the coming days.

    that means it came from an unknown source, they can not track it back to anyone that has traveled... which means it's spreading beyond just those that have traveled or know someone that has traveled

    I don't know if this came from a germ lab (probably not), but if gene editing keeps progressing, it won't be a conspiracy theory. Crazy people with just a little bit of resources will be making new viruses.

    Are you fucqing kidding me? You tore him apart for a tan suit, you insulted his wife repeatedly by claiming she was a man in drag, you claimed he golfed too much, and you made fun of his kids.

    Give me a fucqing break. Do you think we don't remember all the crap you slew at him?

    Not me. Not Obama... :)

    Now Clinton, yeah.. That guy and his wife I made fun of....a lot...especially his wife....vile person.....at least Bill had his goofy country charmed….she had no redeeming qualities. Even backstabbed her supporters election night hiding in her hotel room, too cowardly to face them. No excuse for that...

    Maybe the fringe elements criticized Obama like that. Not the bulk of the Republican Party. I think a tan suit would be ok.

    But the Trump hatred is exponentially worse, and it’s not done by the fringe. It’s done by dozens of members of Congress, like Maxine Waters.

    No Republicans in government fabricated evidence like the Dems did in the Russia Trump hoax.

    Whatever. You’ve shut out all the Trump hatred, maybe because you approve of it.

    And you have embraced him simply because he put an R after his name. Do you truly believe that he is a Republican, with what used to be Republican values?

    Trump is an opportunist pandering to the the lowest common denominator.

    He doesn't belong to a political party. He's in it only for himself, and he, rightly, figured that the only way he would succeed is by running as a Republican.

    You guys got bullshitted by a ***********, and you bought it.

    I didn't say that. There is no reason to automatically believe or automatically disbelieve "the government". It is your assumption that there must be something we're not being told is what I was challenging. You're no better than the strawman you're attacking.

    If you consider any and all government automatically corrupt and untrustable, why aren't you calling for elimination of government and complete anarchy?

    If you didn't care, you wouldn't have put in the effort to write such a detailed response.

    Yes, like "I'm not racist but...".

    We don't know, that's the point! I suggested some perfectly rational possibilities but nobody knows which actually happened. I'm not the one claiming to have knowledge here, you are. How are you saying they became infected?
