You is really need get life instead of was trying stalk and harass people.

Just laughing at your expense.

Rachel 1 is angry. I am not surprised. Team Donkey lied to her time and time again. She NEEDS this virus to be bad.

You tell me why Trump minimized it at first? He put a travel ban to and from China and liberals lost their minds screaming for all to hear "RACISM, XENOPHOBIA. " In the meantime they were trying to impeach him over some fallacious Russian bs. Weeks lost to fight Covid19 and here we are. STFU6

I told you. trump made light of it. I will paraphrase: We are at 15 deaths which is practically zero. trump and his administration should have been the ones negotiating for medical supplies instead of fifty states and numerous U.S. Territories competing against each other. trump just this week said it was okay for NY & WA and a state I no longer remember. NY & WA could have stamped this out two weeks ago with trump's support. You know trump did not properly make this issue important weeks ago. trump most likely did not know about the travel ban. He is calling opening U.S. up on Easter!

This is correct.

Here is an editorial from the not so liberal NY Post, about Trump and his quarantines:

One of the real problems Trump has with trying to lead, is that in something like this, we need some actual leadership qualities such as resolution, humility, commitment, understanding, and above all, some planning.

His apparent emotional problems and incipient dementia are hindering him from any sort of planning, leaving him lurching around randomly reacting to whatever he saw on his Faux news the night before, and his desperate fear of criticism render him unable to be either resolute or humble, or ever take any sort of responsibility.

As for wisdom, well, I guess there has never been any hope of that here.

But Reagan had dementia, and was still able to lean on a team.

Unfortunately Trump's desperate (and apparently near-constant fear) has led to him firing most of his people, in a constant search for new bootlickers, and have left him very little of a support team.

hey bartholomew go back to your videos about fat ppl in the army running 7 minute miles somehow you are even less entertaining than jamin

Trump shows over and over he is in over his head. He is flailing around and not offering leadership.

He is picking fights with the press and governors and promoting unproven drugs that need testing And blaming previous the previous administration.

additionally, nonsense like quarantining three major east coast states are just diversions to draw attention from the grim reality of his lack of leadership, his lack of a plan, and his dismal failures to date.

umm im is not here to entertain. im not a minstrel.

Just so long as he gets 40,000 ventilators on the Federal taxpayer’s dime

Would you be complying about this infinitesimal portion of your tax bill if it was going to the Pentagon, which occupies a vast part of what you pay? Isn’t it all about protecting American lives, or are you only concerned with making sure people die, one way or another?

Go back to civics class. Should the Government send millions of $ to Chicago to hire police officer in order to prevent 1700 murders this year?

Trump may be incompetent but he is the most entertaining president since Dubya. Obama was boring. We never had as many soundbites, for better or worse, to make fun of since Dubya.

This isn't TV and it isn't a game. Actual people will stop breathing if there aren't enough ventilators. Real businesses are going to close and average Americans are going to lose their jobs while cities are shutdown because they fear their hospitals will soon be overrun. If Trump is any kind of leader he needs to stop bickering with governors and do what only the president can do which is use his emergency powers to get more supplies made and distribute what's already stockpiled. Those supplies are the key. If they are there, then hospitals can treat sick people and businesses don't have to all be closed to flatten the curve because the curve is flat enough if hospitals are functioning.

There are too many things wrong with your assumptions to bother talking with you. I will just say this; your Fuhrer claims authority in the worst calamity to face the U.S. in 20 years, but refuses to use that authority effectively in his statements or his orders. The cost in discussion here is beyond minor, and the need quite simple, quite timely. You choose to extrapolate that to a long-standing problem of great complexity, involving poverty, racism, and economics—essentially sidestepping the issue being discussed—it is endemic among fascists to globalize any issue they do not wish to address squarely. Change the topic and talk about the damage to the state being done by the underclass. If you were in Berlin in the early 1930s you would be blaming the Great Depression on the Jews if someone asked why the German Federal government was not pursuing a better strategy for unemployment. Obfuscate, change the subject, but at all costs—avoid talking about the straightforward obligation to help those in need, and be sure to blame the problem on the most suffering and economically weak people.

It actually is a game because most of these medical reports are fake news, false positives, etc.

And no, I don't believe for a fact that all of these positives are real positives. I'm on the side of the right-wing conspirators with this. Suddenly every rich liberal celebrity has coronavirus? Really?? really??? GTFOH with that. They'll report any death as being due to coronavirus now just to push the fear mongering narrative.

Use common sense for a change. The government always uses a crisis to strip away more of our freedoms and privacy.

Looks like somebody got the last word.
