Another memory hole event. I could name several others under previous administration's.
Epstein died on Trumps watch.
Bill Barr investigated it and promised us that there was nothing more to see.
How much have you lost in your panic? Nothing if you didn't cash out. We are not in a recession. By definition, recession is two consecutive quarters of no growth. This thing is going to pass soon and rebound at record pace. Get ready to invest. It's the panic driven media and freak-out reactions that are causing a lot of stress.
We should have CLOSED BORDERS SOONER!!! to keep out plane loads of people coming from China.
It’s racist because when democrats have a hard time finding a legitimate fault in how Trump handles thing they have to resort to criticizing semantics. You’ve seen it a thousand times. They will NEVER quit coming after him in an attempt to satisfy their futile hatred. He’s doing a great job and loves America, truly.

This is the coronavirus version of 9-11 on a bigger scale in terms of the average American's world view.
It's ironic that Sanders is dropping out. He can't win the nomination but he's probably won the election. The responses to this situation is exactly what he wants.
You now need to prepare for a life of standing in line. It's not one side vs the other. It's big government smashing your individual liberty that is occurring regardless of who's in office.
Unless your type wake up and take your country back. It will be difficult for sure.
Red pill or blue pill?
So if someone in China calls American football NfL American football as opposed to soccer football is that racist?
It is what it is
China virus in a long long line of viruses from that part of the world

Botched response? Ok yes he downplayed the severity of the virus but I would not call it botched. The us was one of the first countries to close their border to china and that decision was 100% trump. He's gutted regulations to allow companies to scale manufacturing and provide optimal response to the virus. His response couldn't be better. Are you gonna say there isn't enough tests? We have 330 million people in this country and need to build tests from scratch for this thing. It's not like a rapid strep test that we've identified and cataloged years ago to perfection. He has responded better to coronavirus than obama did to h1n1 or ebola. The only thing he botched was his psa. His actions have been impeccable
Today the CDC are advising doctors and nurses treating patients with the virus to use scarves & bandanas because there are not enough medical masks.
That’s shameful.
The administration botched it big time by not getting supplies in place, including testing kits.
I work in a hospital. It's not trumps fault hospitals didn't buy more masks and medical supplies. Where do you think they buy those from? It's not the government. Hospital management messed up and didn't buy ahead of time. When we have natural disasters we order up on plenty of supplies. So do other hospitals. And sometimes our vendors run out of product and we need to ration. This happens more than you know. It's not because of trump. It's been happening for decades.
Plus all these supplies currently come out of china. And that's not trumps fault. He's been saying since he started running that we need to bring supply chains back to the us. Blame clinton, bush, and obama for that. Remember the trade war with china? That was to remedy those issues and bring those jobs and supply chains back to the states.
You don't understand how these infrastructures work. The government can't just buy supplies that aren't available. They can't just make supplies either. Factories need to be in place. Raw ingredients need to be available. What we do produce in the us is limited and has an upper limit on units produced per hour. If anything, this virus proves trump was right when he started campaigning and the reason why we need him more than ever for the next 4 years.

I haven’t lost anything, but a lot of people have lost their jobs.

The ventilators are made in Galway, Ireland.
“Everyone who needs a test, gets a test”
That was lie.

Wow you're dumb. I'm curious what you do for a living or how old you are. If you're like 12 then I'm sorry for ripping on you. But you just keep showing your ignorance for how the world works. Ventilators come from many places and their parts used to build them come from even more.

Foo, if she changed affiliation because of a few "looks," she probably has bigger problems.
That really wasn't the point of my post. It was that Trump is once again provoking racism.
But don't worry, she's probably not changing. And definitely not because of the racist people she encounters. She said she originally voted for Trump because she thought he would do a better job of protecting her daughter (my niece) from "dangerous illegal immigrants". I need to ask her how Trump has protected her and her family from a really dangerous virus. I'm sure she will say it's not Trump's fault. If I can't convince her to not vote for Trump after this, nothing will convince her.

Why does the Mayor of Baltimore have to beg his constituents with a curfew/ceasefire, to stop shooting each other in the streets so they can have enough hospital beds for COVID-19 patients?
Nobody seems to be outraged by that.
Not at all racist to call it the China virus or the Wuhan China virus.
where did the global financial crisis start?

This.
He is trying to place all the blame on China and distract people from the admin's missteps.

It is Trump that is changing the name here. WHO named it about a month ago.

Why doesn't Trump use the proper name?
Does anyone but wingnuts not know it came from China? Everyone knows it came from China. Calling it China Virus or Chinese Virus or any junior high school type name is not going to convince any wingnuts that don't think it came from China that it came from China.
