    I hate Biden, but even with obvious dementia he is polling higher than trump... should say tell you something about your ideology, but I am sure it will escape you.

    Drawing parallels is not off topic, sorry if you disapprove.

    People don’t have to look for reasons, he freely creates them — they are not exactly hidden.

    dementia candidate....That is a good one for the Lunatic-in-Chief Donnie. He thinks his father and grandfather were born in Germany and Obama was born in Kenya.

    It amazing to see the Republicans, who one were into realism and respected Americans to be adults, now say that Trump needs to hide reality from all the little baby Americans won't be "spooked"!

    Absolutely insane ther the Republican have become so patenalistic! Its so pathetic what has happened to the values and respect to the Anerican people at large!

    And yeah, that extra week without the public not having understanding what is happening and to know what do best, the inside Republicans are busy saving their personal stock portfolios ahead of tge public to screw the public!

    Utterly sick! The Republicans are becoming not just filled with avarist, but they don't mind letting others suffer from being uninformed while the Republicans reap more wealth from America!

    You're kidding right?

    I'm not sure one can make a story about hiding a rise in unemployment figures from anyone that can balance a checkbook during a pandemic where emergency measures have dictated substantial employee layoffs.

    Take this chit down the road.

    Data is data. You need it to make sound decisions. More proof the administration has it’s head up it’s rear.

    What businesses need right now is confidence, confidence they’re receiving all available data/information good, bad, or indifferent so they can act in their best interest.

    That is what all of us need, but unfortunately that is what this administration (usually the President) suck wind at providing.

    Stating factual information isn't "bashing".

    It's called honesty.

    He's not. Anyone with a f'kn brain knows and understands that unemployment will rise when businesses are shuttered in an attempt to mitigate the transmission of a known pathogen nation wide.

    I already knew the ball park figures.....I googled several foreign states who have implemented similar shut down measures, same time period.

    Uncle Sam can't hide anything from me.

    A blind trust run by her husband. Dirty Diana Feinstein made the most off her trades...more over we know she’s hired Chinese spies before, I’m curious just how deep this entire thing goes with her

    Of course it couldn't have anything to do with the pandemic, oh no! Most eateries in Salt lake, Frisco, L.A, New York are closed and employed laid off and the sad leftist media wants to blame it on Trump and economics..

    What sad F$%#ing bunch the Leftwing media is!

    Trump had his chance to be FDR after the bombing of Pearl Harbor - instead he decided to be
    Neville Chamberlain. That was his choice.

    If you don't have an accurate gauge of the impact of the crisis, you won't know how large the relief package should be.
    FDR didn't come on the radio after the attack on Pearl Harbor and say that the Japanese had attacked with one plane and that not much damage was done. He laid out the problem so Americans could prepare for what was needed to respond.
