    I'm not in denail of anything.

    Your doom & gloom buddy said more American death than WWII. 450,000 is that number used regarding that prediction.

    I call BS on him, still do. It was a cheap made up number not based on math but based on using a historic event of epic portions to scare people. And in turn attack the POTUS.

    You stumble in trying to use yesterday briefing as proof he was correct in his prediction and anybody who "threw him under the bus" for it looks foolish now.

    The brief where estimated range between 23% and 53% of his 450k estimate. So he was not even close, at all.

    Again all the "bus throwers" were vindication by the very briefing you tried to use as proof they were worng. It does not get more ironic than that.

    Now here you come with numbers based on no social distancing, which is in effect nationwide, has been. Pointless numbers. You might as well say 10,000,000 will die if we all run around kissing infected people.

    Obviously since we have the most virus contamination's and Deaths in the world .........the USA is doing a Lot wrong

    Yet other countries had no problem getting test administered and then quarantining everyone who been in contact with the virus

    We would have saved Thousands of Lives and Trillions of dollars to fix the problem then treating the symptoms

    If we all had your can't do it attitude in WWll we'd all be speaking German

    And again..

    No other country had the complexity our political system.....not even close.....
    No other country has the complexity or scope and size of our economy.....not even close...
    No other country has the diversity of society that we have.....

    You can not "shut down" American at the flick of a switch. They are still trying weeks latter, see Florida for just one example

    If we all had the defeatist negative attitude of you then we would all be speaking Japanese, which by the way was a much more likely scenario than us Speaking German in the 1940s.

    Because he actually has been worse?

    What a load of BS and lies. What was done to Obama was overwhelming, obscene and disgusting. He was vilified for every single thing he did, as well as he and his wife and children being attacked for their race and looks.

    I don't say mistreatment of Obama justifies how Drumph is treated. That's the not point. 1) Drumph truly deserves everything negative said about him. 2) After the way they treated Obama, the Right has no right to complain when negative things are said about Drumph.

    Your incorrect use of 'your' is annoying. The contraction of 'you are' is 'you're,' not 'your.' You're wrong, BTW, about Dems and Bernie. Wrong about what you call 'Trump Rage' too. History will record the truth about the disaster Drumph has been for this nation.

    You don't even have a grip on reality. He was way too slow to react, and, in fact, denied for weeks the seriousness of the crisis. Even now, when he could order every state in lockdown to prevent the spread, at this time, 11 states (red states with Republican governors) are not in lockdown, allowing the virus to spread in those states and beyond if any of their people travel to other states. Because of Trump's painfully poor handling of the crisis, many people have already died and many more will die. He's a disgusting human being and a horrible leader.

    When British code breakers identified cities that were going to be the targets of German bombing raids, the British authorities did not evacuate targeted areas because they worried it would reveal how much they knew about German codes.

    But Churchill routinely high tailed it out of targeted cities himself.

    Why should every state be locked down. It makes no sense.

    Yeah, Trump is a disgusting human being. Has been as far back as I'm aware of. But I think that overall his leadership has been above average.

    Sure they do. President Obama and his wife were attacked in large part because they gave the impression that they were ashamed to be Americans and had a "blame America first attitude". Remember President Obama's "apology tour"? Remember Michelle Obama's saying "for the first time she was proud to be an American" (even if an exaggeration it sends the wrong message).

    It's amusing to watch the diehard Trumpers trying to keep up with their unstable Master's erratic zigging and zagging whilst trying to avoid whiplash.

    They end up looking like befuddled drunks in a remedial speed game of Simon Says, all falling on their trumpies.

    E.g., in denying responsibility for the appalling state of unreadiness the country was in,
    Trump sometimes claimed, falsely,
    [​IMG]
    “Nobody knew!”
    ... that there would be a pandemic or epidemic of this proportion yet, at another point,​

    he claimed that he had known all along a pandemic was coming.
    (In fact, as a matter of record, as early as January, intelligence agencies and public heath authorities were warning of the imminent approach of the coronavirus that Simple Simin was dismissing, distorting, minimizing, and lying about.)

    Prove it. Link me to all those consecutive events and the quotes at each event during his apology tour.
    Nope, there was no 'apology tour'. There was RW propaganda about one, but there was no apology on which to base it. The only reason there was this 'impression' was because Fox created one out of thin air.

    No it won’t. But keep your feeble hope alive that justice will be yours at last!

    "Why should every state be locked down. It makes no sense." Seriously? Those states not locked down will have the virus raging through them like wildfire. It only takes one person to pass it to another and then on and on. It explodes exponentially. Maybe you would like to move to a state that isn't locked down. Or maybe you already live in one. Good luck. :)

    Today Joe Biden stared blankly into a camera lens for five full seconds while he was supposed to be delivering a speech in regards to how Trump is doing as the leader during this crisis. After he finally gave the speech he took only four softball questions from the sycophant minded press before ending the presser. P-i-t-i-f-u-l.

    'President Obama and his wife were attacked in large part because they gave the impression that they were ashamed to be Americans and had a "blame America first attitude".'

    Seriously? Michelle Obama made one comment having to do with the dismal history of racial relations in America, and that means neither one of them loved the country? That's absurd. They were attacked because they were black. Racists were upset because there was a black family in the white house.

    Just wait and see. Once we get rid of him, it won't be long for presidential historians to rate him, and he'll be at the bottom of the scale.

    No he won’t. He will be the POTUS that successfully led us thru C19, a event like no other a POTUS has had to managed since WWII.

    WWII makes C19 look like a small bump compared to a mountain but no other POTUS has had to deal with anything on its scale.
