    Again, we've seen a ton of misinformation in this and other threads most of it originating from the president and FOX news. Their actions will exacerbate the problems rather than alleviate them. We cannot get them in board without dispelling the lies from their origins, Trump. How do you concretely separate Trump and politics out of the debate? I see no way. I have posted timetstamped videos of Obama doing what they say, aping Trump, that Obama never did only to have someone five posts later denying he ever did those things and the clan jumps in with a hearty clap on the back and "yeah, why didn't the msm jump on Obama for not doing that?"
    My hope is that eventually some of it will be in the back of their heads when their leadership at FOX capitulates to the truth because their anchors start getting sick. Better they become proactive late than never.

    Correcting false information is fine. I have done so myself. Placing more false or misleading information on the board is not fine, which is what I was talking about in my original post on this thread. If you are not doing that then we don't have an issue.

    Obamacare ended up being responsible for closing 1,700 Medical Labs across the country.

    But it wasn't as bad as what the Blood Bank impact turned out to be.

    LOL. You've just copied and pasted an extract that shows that there is no ban to US citizens on flights to and from China! You do know that US citizens and US non-citizens are not the same, don't you? You clearly don't care how foolish you come across in your desperation to defend Trump's lies at all costs. And then you post a link from yahoo which has nothing to do with flights. Face it, Trump is a liar

    Read it again. You are confused. Flights were restricted to a few airports and passengers were screened.

    Why no, I didn't know that. Of course that could be because it's untrue

    Okay so you can argue with the half dozen headlines of the liberal media I gave you that called it a ban.

    So suddenly MSM headlines are true! They can call it what they like, it doesn't mean it is true. You posted that passengers landing at restricted airports are screened so perhaps you can explain who these passengers are given your assertions that all passengers are banned from traveling to and from China? Banned = zero passengers, one or more passengers = no ban

    Take it up with your media. They called it a ban. Semantics aside travel from China was severely restricted and regulated with passenger screening which turned out to be the right thing to do and slowed the spread of Corona to America.

    Failed post.It wasn't until October {late in Oct. of 2009 }
    When 1,ooo deaths are confirmed that Obama declared the
    Swine Flu a National Emergency.Over 100 children had died,also.
    Compare that to Our Current President who made a National
    Emergency Declaration when there was under 4o deaths.
    40 deaths vs. 1,ooo deaths.

    The " Hussein " part was officially OFF LIMITS throughout Obama's
    2008 Campaign.As was his Ears and any use of the word " Liberal ".
    Even though in 2007 he had the 2nd most Liberal Voting record
    in the Senate.Bernie Sanders taking the lead.

    LOL You still think that severely restricted means the same as banned. You are delusional and it's so funny that it was your own post that can be used to show that you are delusional. Face it, Trump lied once again and loves people like you

    A lie is telling people medical care will get cheaper and you’ll save X amount and you can keep your doctor knowing full well none of that is remotely true...to get people to vote for you. Using the term travel “ban” instead of travel restriction is misspeaking, since its also the new policy that people have to go through certain airports to get screened first. There is a distinct difference between truly lying and not using exact terminology.

    Well, we all know that Trump supporters don't care if he lies straight to their faces. The fact that when it's clear that it is a lie and his supporters can't accept that it is a lie even after they themselves post facts showing that it is a lie is delusional behavior.
