    According to Fauci the risk from the Wuhan China Virus Pandemic was miniscule.

    with a better President, it may have been - Trump said was 15 going on zero, then he screwed it up I guess

    unemployment is already too high, I doubt even Trump would do anything to make it go up even more before the election

    Trump relied exclusively on the "experts".
    That has proven to be a rare Trump error in judgement.

    "Short of that, Fauci says skip the masks unless you are contagious, don't worry about catching anything from Chinese products and certainly don't avoid Chinese people or restaurants. "Whenever you have the threat of a transmissible infection, there are varying degrees from understandable to outlandish extrapolations of fear," Fauci said."

    I agree. Neither side will ever respect our hard earned tax dollar.

    In fact, unemployment has dropped faster than I thought possible.
    Especially during a continuing economic lockdown.

    Can't vote in this poll because the question is so skewed.

    Enough that you don't care about him continually circumventing the Constitution? Cool beans. I'll keep having higher standards.

    no he did not, Pence did, then Trump took over

    Trump wanted nothing to do with it... until he saw how much attention Pence was getting

    Trump should have let Pence run with it - but Trump's fragile ego is Trump's worst enemy

    This is what happens when you either skip the part before "short of that" or don't know what the phrase means. If you had comprehended this, you would have seen that he was talking about short of "testing [showing] the virus has slipped into the country in places federal officials don't know about." That's exactly what testing DID end up showing.

    Your statement requires "BOO CONSTITUTION!!!" I prefer the Constitution. You can keep holding an empty suit as more important.

    More like you want to make people unnecessarily suffer so you can blame Trump some more. Everyone's got the democrat's number on this one.

    And it's cute that you think so. I've advocated more tax cuts, including getting rid of the taxes that Trump has unilaterally raised on himself (these add up to the biggest tax raise we've had since the 90s). I'm well to the economic right of Trump and, therefore, likely well to the economic right of you.

    It's just that I actually value the Constitution and believe in legal restrictions on Executive power. Sorry, bud.

    No, I get it. Some people resort to making up **** about their opponents when they can't think of an honest answer. Really popular among the Trump supporters around here who can't comprehend the existence of Libertarians.

    Almost all of my policy attacks on Trump have been either to his economic right or in criticizing his Executive overreach. But you've made it clear this is purely about feelings and you don't care about the facts. You aren't fooling anyone.

    But keep cheering for Trump wiping his ass with the Constitution. I'll stick with some of the principles that conservatives used to pretend to care about until Trump came along.

    The US treasury can be instructed to suspend payroll taxes. Its perfectly constitutional. The legislative branch has to make it permanent. So if the democrats get elected expect to have big tax bill come due April 15th.
