    The left would rather blame the bad orange man.

    Facts are immaterial to them.

    The China bots will never blame China, apparently the party line now is that would be racist.

    Political correctness kills.

    They will continue to imagine if Hillary had been POTUS this wouldn't have happened.

    Beijing Biden, pro athletes and celebrities, big tech and many on the left who are silent on gross human rights violations in China.

    The hordes of leftists SHRIEKING that Trump is a racist for pointing out that the outbreak began in China. Fun fact; a great many of the leftist Politically Correct crowd are now attempting to rename various traditionally named plagues and diseases so as to remove the regional designations. I don't know that political correctness kills -- as some charge -- but the fanaticism of its adherents is amusing as hell to watch as it grows and grows and grows.

    It was probably political correctness that prevented Italy from blocking China travel, remember Biden called it xenophobic. Here is another instance, long before the Ft. Hood killer did his crime, he should have been given a dishonorable discharge and put on a terror watch list for his jihadist statements. He was not, everyone else was afraid it would hurt their careers if they spoke out.

    Yes. I have no doubt that you are correct regarding Italy. Their version of the political Left has crippled their nation. As for Major Nidal Hasan; yes, I remember that about his case and how the MSM soft-peddled all of that background data and how they effectively said NOTHING when Barack declared it a Workplace Violence issue for political reasons.

    It would have gone against the narrative that Muslims liked us now that Obama was POTUS, the same reason they lied about Benghazi.

    The reason lefties are whining about tests is they are hoping for higher numbers of sick and dead. They need that to be able to continue to stoke panic and fear.

    No-one is hoping for that. It is sick for you to say that, because it just isn't true.

    Typical lefty response. Hoping for disaster then denying it when it is obvious.

    Of course he is. That is the way leadership works. Good leaders understand this and do not get offended. They get to work and lead. They never ever say ”I don't take any responsibility”.


    Nobody is hoping for that. President Trump will be judged by his words and actions, not the Coronavirus death toll. How quick does the economy rebound. A 1000 check is nice, but ineffective in the long run.

    Go ahead and quote anyone who is hoping for a high death toll. Who is hoping for disaster.

    Your perception of your political opponents is wrong and, frankly, sick.

    The 'tests' were not already available. It was a formula for tests that WHO and the CDC submitted for potential use, and then they went about developing their tests(the first batch of which...MALFUNCTIONED.)

    Instead of an unfortunate logistics mishap, it has become another attacking point on Donald Trump.

    It was not a logistics mishap. It was a very wrong decision. And the administration has been lying about the availability of test ever since.

    and the CDC is part of the Executive branch which is Trump.

    Dr. Fauci, a real world Dr. Floyd Ferris?

    "There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kinds of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted—and you create a nation of lawbreakers—and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

    While They Blame And Finger-point - Trump and the State Governors are fighting for The American People

    SMART: Trump Orders Military Hospital Ships ‘Mercy’ and ‘Comfort’ to New York.

    [​IMG]

    Donald Trump ordered "two yuge ships" outfitted for treating patients and currently used by the military to set sail for the most heavily infected areas of America.

    The ships are set for rapid deployment. "They're getting ready to come up to New York," he said. "Those two ships are getting prepared to go." The ships are floating hospitals that are normally used near war zones but are being repurposed to aid in the coronavirus outbreak that experts warn could overwhelm U.S. hospitals.

    The Mercy can house 1000 patients and is equipped with twelve operating rooms. Among other wonders, it is equipped with radiology, an ICU, a blood bank, oxygen services, medical equipment storage, and more. The Comfort is a similar ship of the same class with the same capacity.

    Governor Cuomo responded to the swift action of the president positively. "It’s an extraordinary step, obviously, it’s literally a floating hospital, which will add capacity and the president said that he would dispatch that immediately,” he said.

    Fighting For The People of New York

    These types of proactive and immediate responses are exactly what emergency operations should look like. Thanks to the president's quick and decisive actions, New York is receiving all available resources to meet the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic. The president will be meeting with nurses later on Wednesday accurately calling them heroes.

    The only question you really need to ask about the CDC is:
    Did their test work?

    Gee so he made another incredibly stupid decision. Shame on us for holding him to account not that he actually ever takes responsibility for anything except the stock market. Oh, wait now that is the Democrats fault too.

    Couldn't agree with you more. All one needs to do to see that is wander over to the WAPO and read the comments sections... It's ghastly. It's like the united new democrats socialist school of panic driven propaganda over there.....
