    Zorro, the Trump response was tortoise slow.

    Professor Peabody, Trump cut the CDC ability to prepare properly, which had been upgraded by Obama.

    George Bailey describes himself.

    Your guy is going to be soundly and roundly defeated this fall.

    I like, & agree with all your post except the very last sentence. A class war would simply make the extremists who want class warfare happy. Class warfare would create more problems than it would solve, & become a tragedy for everyone involved. We can do better than that.

    Go watch some corps being dumped by a fork lift truck in an 18 wheeler.
    It's just like if you're in some 3rd world poor African country.

    Trump has already been impeached

    Pence would be better at running this country.. but now, we just have to wait it out

    I do bet Trump wishes republicans would have voted to remove him now though, so he could brag how much better he would have handled all this

    Trump has handled this crisis masterfully. The American people see that.

    Nasty corona literally cold-cocked donnie's ("best ever" :rolleyes:) economy.

    All job gains (and then some) during the donnie years have been obliterated in just the last two weeks.

    Not to mention what has happened to the stock market … and what will happen to GDP...

    This post, Professor, should be enshrined among the greatest and most significant of all posts in this Forum's history. It provides a perfect example of how a clot of doctrinaire Democrats blithely ignored the threat that lay there, right in front of their faces, while THEY were in charge. Now, that same pack of hyenas are readying their daggers for Trump (again!), with preparations for their new "Corona virus investigations"! Amazingly, Pelosi and Schiff are at it again!

    "Pelosi's announcement came a day after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff called for a 9/11-style independent commission to investigate "mistakes" in the virus response."

    Why do you suppose that the virus is being called COVID-19? What do you think the 19 means??

    China kept important information about it under wraps. The WHO didn't listen to Taiwan. Trump began closing down travel as soon as he knew it was an issue, and liberals immediately called him "xenophobic" and "racist" for doing that, remember?

    You're making less sense than Dementia Joe right now... What are you trying to express?

    You are freaking out about a 0.008% infection rate and a 0.00030% death rate.... let that sink in for a second...

    ...about what, exactly?

    Paradox.

    [1] Donald closed down incoming planes.
    [2] Donald didn't do a thing. (didn't prepare...)

    Which is it??

    To argue a paradox is to argue irrationally. You must choose one and completely discard the other in order to argue rationally again.

    Loser (the insult) is spelled with one 'o', not two. Looser would refer to the decreased tightness of something (such as a bolt).

    [1] Donald closed down incoming planes.
    [2] Donald refuses to take charge.

    You are still arguing irrationally. You must clear your paradox.

    Fear mongering.

    Fear mongering.

    WRONG. See my prior response for why that is.

    Loser (the insult) is spelled with one 'o', not two. Looser refers to the decreased tightness of something (such as a bolt).

    What "pandemic team"?

    Obama was a buffoon.

    Paradox.

    [1] Donald didn't do a thing.
    [2] Donald's decision is costing lives.

    You keep coming up with slightly different versions of the same paradox... You are arguing irrationally. Make up your mind. Did Trump "take action" or not?

    See above for correction regarding 'looser'. See prior response for correction regarding "100K-240K deaths".

    Trump cannot make free will null and void.

    Again, you didn't watch the pressers themselves.

    Paradox. You must clear your paradox to argue rationally again.

    Cuba would fit this guy to a "T" also -- good find! The latest reported figures for Cuba (2019) showed it had an unemployment rate of a lower-than-low 2.25%.

    Wow! I'll bet even a slouching, Starbucks-haunting malcontent with a liberal arts degree could find a job in a place like that! :banana:

    All you liberal ladies, gentlemen, and, uh, "gender-not-specified" -- grab your passports and head for Cuba -- a workers' paradise! :cheerleader:

    I don't blame President Trump, I blame Pajama Boy Americans who've gotten soft, by lying around on the Couch smoking Pot, eating Cup Cakes and playing video games all day waiting for their Freebies to come in the Mail and living Paycheck to Paycheck. A lot of Americans are going to fall on some SERIOUS hard times by not setting up a Rainy Day fund in their personal finances. Jobs are available to pick Produce, since Seasonal Workers from Mexico are not being allowed into the United States right now, but these Fluffy Obese Doughboys with soft hands won't last an hour out there in the Hot Sun picking Strawberries. Coronavirus is going to Thin the Herd of the Weak and turn Pajama Boys into Real Men, Time to Swim or Sink.

    Common knowledge already contradicts your statements. And the jobless claims have gone beyond limits that we could not imagine.

    Change the leadership now. Bring in Pence.

    Then it should be easy for you to provide the information.

    No we all expect the numbers to get this high once the President's guidelines and policies were in place to fight the Chinese Virus.

    Nice parsing of words. That response team left on their own and had not been replaced yet. Turn off CNN, it makes zombies out of good people.
