    In the past month or more we have seen the democrats and the MSM that is in bed with them, continuously bash President Trump over the virus situation. Virtually nothing of what they say have ANY basis in truth.

    So now we need to ask this question. What are the democrats doing, or what have they done to help this virus situation???

    BTW a talking point is the ignorant partisan Pelosi has loaded up a virus bill with radical leftwing pork. That of course absolutely no help at all for the average person that is out of a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    In what way do you expect Dems, or Repub for that matter, to "help this virus" situation? I mean, besides the stimulus package of course.

    Dems did nothing hoping to cash in politically as they always do.

    I've written this before, so I hope it doesn't diminish the impact of it. Democrats aren't here to help the people. They are here to control the people. It's fundamental in everything that they do. From forcing identity politics on everyone, to trying to disguise government assistance for the dependence it creates. Democrats believe in the social paradigm of the plantation. Where they are the owners, and the rest are the slave class destined to make their lives comfortable at the expense of ours. We see it literally in every thing they do. And, it seems, in this time of crisis, they are vastly more interested in watching folks die because they believe it will cause people to vote them into office. It's the only way they ever get power. Folks ignore reality for their feelz and promises that they glom onto without understanding there is a very real hook inside the bait...

    Just a thought.....
    You are in a lifeboat, fully loaded with shipwreck survivors. Most are like you; doing their best to help and work together, but a few do not. They refuse to take their turns rowing, want more than their share of water, demand the boat go the direction they think it should, blame the others for everything from the way the wind blows to not saving their luggage for them from the sinking ship.... and spend all their time whining and bitching at the others, and complaining about their displeasure and discomfort. This disrupts the group efforts, and potentially threatens the survival of all on board.

    The question is- what is the right thing to do?

    Even when Trump is shown to be a sociopathic buffoon in his inability to lead on this crisis, there's still time to bash the Democrats (even though most of them actually share the same set of consensus politics as the Republicans, making a mockery of your banana republic democracy). I despair.

    Yeah, what would we do in the lifeboat with 100 survivors, in which two would try to hoard 90% of the water and food supplies, just because they are a little bit stronger than the others? What would we do????

    All of the Democrat Governors I know of are doing their best to oversee programs to stop the spread and get needed equipment to their hospitals. Very few have said that everybody should go back to work and the elderly "will take care of themselves" like this Republican

    Nancy Pelosi is already spearheading the next stimulus bill. I realize you are a conservative who wants us all to let this disease kill off the old and the weak as God intends and so will be against this but some of us want to respond to disease rationally, as we should have been responding to the threat of disease all along.

    I have seen the Democrats do basically the same as the rest of Congress, which is pass bills.

    But this virus is not something you can really fight with policy right now, and that's mainly what Congress deals with. Policy.

    And obviously the White House is in Republican hands so there's no dealing with the virus by Democrats from that avenue.

    Where you'll find both Republicans and Democrats shining are at the state level. That's where the battles are.

    I tried to imagine a leftist view of the virus and it was terrifying!

    There are 24 Democratic Governors and every one of them has put through a shelter in place policy in their state; there are 9 states without such an order they are all ruled by Republican Governors.
    Nanci Pelosi received the Senate stimulus Bill and got it passed nearly unanimously the next day and sent it to President Trump to be signed. Surely you remember that.

    Why don't you Google the million articles like this one above, written by myriad outlets, about Trump's performance?

    Why don't you read the DAILY quotes and reviews that detail Trump's constant lying?

    Your words above are 100% political nonsense and untruths...why is this necessary?

    1. Governor Cuomo (D NY) has just announced he has gotten 1000 ventilators from China. That is significantly more ventilators than he got from the Federal Government.
    2. If what you say about Speaker Pelosi is true why would the Senate approve and President Trump sign such a radical leftwing document that is absolutely no help to the average person who is out of a job?
