    "If we fail to act, there will be a wave of evictions and foreclosures in the coming months as this pandemic rages on, because there's nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months." Biden said.

    He told us over and over during the campaign that he would save the people on day one! You know and I know it and we all know it. Now he says I am a total failure as your President and cannot do anything!

    Dems once again elect an empty suit full of promises who delivers on none!

    I get why you say Biden is pathetic! I totally agree. He has done nothing and now says there is nothing he can do. Pathetic when it comes to Biden is an understatement, but that holds true regarding all Democrats!

    LOL. I'm pointing out how totally FALSE your nonsense is, obviously.

    Are you really hoping that America will fail?

    How much of America are you ready to sacrifice for the benefit of your party?

    Ummmm... Newsflash. Democrats have already sold out the nation to China. You already gave it away and it started with the Clinton's giving them Missile Navigation and Submarine Technology.

    Oh, good lord! Remember it was "Nixon to China" that was the huge change.

    At that time we decided we could do more to bring China's practics and human rights problems under control through economic normalization.

    We're not going to go to war with China. So, that issue is DOA from the start it doesn't even need a response. You need to find some other excuse.

    The TOTAL FAILURE of Trump's approach to China is that he killed a Pacific Trade pact that could have given a combined economic power that China would have no choice but to respect.

    Instead, he went for the mano a mano approach that never had a chance from the start and upset economic sectors in America and our trading partners.

    Until we get smart, China is going to have us for lunch. There economic growth is HUGE compared to ours, and it has been for years.

    Opposing China WILL REQUIRE international cooperation. And, all Trump could do is to work to KILL that cooperation with stupid move after stupid move after stupid move.

    Biden is just proving how Democrats don't and can't deliver on their campaign promises! And for four years the Dems crapped on the American people to defeat President Donald Trump so don't think that liberals have the high road here.

    Definitly not by those who opposed trump but January 31st was the first travel ban. Followed by more. Followed by warp speed and getting everyone ventilators and masks.

    400k plus died from smoking last year. There were 47000 suicides 81000 drug overdoses and 251000 deaths by doctor errors. If the numbers were legit and not inflated Id take it more serious
    Also if the hypicrytes in office did or of they didnt decide churches are closed but liquor stores and dispensaries would stay open. Also flu deaths pnuemonia and other diseases have dwindled because everything counts as a covid death because hospitals get more money. Hospitals are going bankrupt so the need the money.

    The China travel bans allowed large numbers of people to travel back and forth from China. It is reported that there were between 20 and 25 flights per day from China landing at each of 3 US destiations - LA, SF and NYC.

    And, no. Trump was TOTALLY ineffective at getting PPE, and ventilators to NYC and other places that had desperate need. Even when he sent the hospital ship, the orders were to serve NO COVID patiets.

    And, he had FEMA stealing masks and other PPE from hospitals that had order that material. FEMA simply iterdicted the shipments - leaving hospitals without the necessities they thought they had purchased.

    Even today, we still have hospitals that do not have adequate PPE. So, Biden is using the defense production act now, to get product to hospitals.

    Trump REFUSED to help. He refused to help with PPE, with international travel, with domestic travel, with conveying the best medical science on prevention, with test strategy.

    He didn't like the numbers, so he directed hat state data be funnelled through a different executie branch bureaucracy before reachig CDC - thus slowing information and leaving its value in question.

    He refused to consider the plan that CDC, industry executives, and other executive branch groups created to achieve an early opening of our economy - the plan as documented on Whitehouse.gov.

    He claimed he had a plan for vaccinating the population. NOW it is clear that there was ABSOLUTELY NO plan, in fact the guy Trump put in charge couldn't ansewer even the most basic questions concerning why promised deliveries were not coming.


    Trump was absolutely a net negative in EVERY aspect of this pandemic. EVERY aspect.

    WOW!!!

    So, there was some OTHER cause of death.

    Thus, we shouldn't give a CRAP about the lives of 400,000 Americans dying of COVID!!

    I get your logic. However, it IS 100% sociopathic.

    The navy ship was there to help and aid NYC which it did. They were capable of taking covid patients but it was not their intended goal. You dont judge a fish by how well it can climb a tree? If they received none that's not the ship or trumps fault.

    The china travel bans allowed those with US citizenship to travel back and fourth and without a source I'm gonna assume its partisan garbage your spewing.

    Trump was so effective on getting PPE out the media stopped talking about it especially giving obama didnt restock the supply from h1n1.

    The us government had extra ventilators and masks anybody crying wolf is just puerto rico 2.0

    There was a plan and they were vaccinating 1 million a day which is what biden is doing.

    Partisan is smelled heavy on your post.

    400000 is an extremely inflated number. I never said we souldnt care about them but if you truly cared about 400000 lives you would be doing more than what you are.

    There are people that study such things.

    But if you are asking if they have recovered from covid my favorite source is starbucks.

    Starbucks said its business in China, its second-largest market after the U.S., has largely recovered, with same-store sales up 5% in the first quarter. Starbucks said it’s seeing fewer customers in China, but they’re spending more when they visit.

    The company opened almost 160 stores in China during the first quarter, for a total of more than 4,800.

    But in the U.S., same-store sales were down 5% for the quarter despite the holiday drinks that usually draw customers.

    I'm not posting lies nor was it thoughtless. I based the facts I wrote off of the majority of studies on the topic. Here is just one,

    Presidents and the US Economy: An Econometric Exploration - American Economic Association (aeaweb.org)

    The US economy has performed better when the president of the United States is a Democrat rather than a Republican, almost regardless of how one measures performance. For many measures, including real GDP growth (our focus), the performance gap is large and significant. This paper asks why. The answer is not found in technical time series matters nor in systematically more expansionary monetary or fiscal policy under Democrats. Rather, it appears that the Democratic edge stems mainly from more benign oil shocks, superior total factor productivity (TFP) performance, a more favorable international environment, and perhaps more optimistic consumer expectations about the near-term future. (JEL D72, E23, E32, E65, N12, N42)

    It's kind of an excepted fact outside of far right blogs. I mean history shows us this directly. Stuff that happened, not even projections.

    Have you ever heard of the Corona Virus? How about the Democratic Governors response to it?

    Now move on with your thoughtless propaganda. Seriously, what you are sharing is for people that cannot think for themselves.
