It's a good thing you have the media on your side to cover up all the obvious lies.
Even 4th graders can small hatchet jobs like NBC's promotion of fish tank cleaner woman. Lol. The fitting end to this non-story will be so sweet to sane Americans.
Nothing illustrates the mind of a 4th grader like this:
Did Trump Suggest Injecting Disinfectants as COVID-19 Treatment?
The U.S. president's comments prompted doctors and the makers of household disinfectants to issue statements urging people not to ingest or inject cleaning products.
Trump made this comment following a presentation on how sunlight and disinfectant affect the coronavirus. This presentation prompted Trump to discuss a question he said “probably some of you are thinking of” concerning what would happen if you “brought the light inside the body.” As Trump continued, he also offered his thoughts on how disinfectants could be brought inside the body “by injection.” While Trump noted that this method would have to be checked by doctors, he said it sounded interesting to him ... “This notion of injecting or ingesting any type of cleansing product into the body is irresponsible, and it’s dangerous. It’s a common method that people utilize when they want to kill themselves.”
Those on this forum who regard him as their hero reflect that limited mentality as well.

This is disheartening. Women screaming and crying in New York street, explaining she has had to live with a deceased body for 4 days....screaming at Mayor DeBliasio.
Appreciate the compliment...the theme of that, btw, is to not buy in to everything fed to us, to be critical thinkers.

That is the point. Stay away from tripe and stop watching so much political entertainment.
Nice try to flip it, but you got burned.
Pay attention. A guy on twitter, Instagram, comment sections or articles and posting while watching Rachel Maddow isn’t controlled by the media and “infotainment age”.... I thought the Green Day song was fitting. Don’t pay attention to the “headline”.... you one of those guys that think Fauci is stupid also?
EDIT: I remember the last time you PM’ me using the term burned. How did it work out for your guy?

Easy, NY was hit early and hard and didn't have enough PPE for medical staff in hospitals, much less for anyone else, given the enormous increase in usage.
Florida came much later and received PPE on time. Helped to be a Trumpist on the latter, former was just luck.
That's why those 'missing 6 weeks' of not cranking up PPE production, testing, etc are so important and to have a national distribution system instead of states bidding against one another. We needed far more than we had. Still do.
The fact that the gubmint was caught with their pants around their ankles seems to surprise you. I know enough about how slow the procurement channels work in DC that it would not have mattered who the POTUS was. The POTUS could demand anything become top priority. You think the underlings, especially if they dislike a POTUS are honestly going to work any faster? POTUS screwed this up but there was no bright shining light anywhere around here in the world of Washington DC. It took people like a Fan to grab the bull by the horns and make up for the short comings of the federal government. The people of the USA are the ones who have bailed out their incompetent leadership. Our leaders screwed the pooch on many levels. The monday morning quarterbacking should wait until somebody, somewhere, somehow get this entire sh***y mess under control.
NO - failure to hold this administration's feet to the fire just allows it to get worse. Trump could have been a true leader, but was so damned afraid of messing up the stock market that he refused to things in his power that needed to be done as time was of the essence (and still is).
I understand your point and I don't disagree with it. I am not an expert on how government works but I do know one thing. The government responds to emergencies the same way the Titanic responded to that iceberg. They are too big and too slow to ever be able to make the turn in time. The BHO people were given months of warning about the dangers in Benghazi and they did nothing. The Trump people were given ample warning about what COVID might do to the country. Nobody in government no matter the party ever wants to deal with the worst case scenario. They will always dick f**k around looking for an easier way around the problem. That is how our government works. They are scared s***less about being the boy who cried wolf and getting it wrong from the start.
Here we go with Benghazi
That was not my point TLD. I knew one of the usual jackwagons here would not understand. I hope I can splain it for you in simple enough terms for you to comprehend. I was comparing the intelligence failure where BHOs folks IGNORED the threats being made in Benghazi. I was comparing that to the intelligence failure Trump made in the COVID screwup. It was not about what happened in Benghazi. It was about what happens when any POTUS ignores the critical information being given to them by people that understand the situation. I hope you understand now? I tried to make it clear enough for you and your self portrait.
More false equivalency.... Find a better comp....we have 50,000 people dead in a month and have lost trillions in economic value......looking for WMD’s is a more fitting analogy....chuck wagon is a better descriptor
You think if Trump had gone all in all this would have been avoided? It is not about a false anything. It is about what happens when you ignore what your smart people are telling you. GWB screw up is a valid comparison also. Why was his screwup even possible... 9/11/2001 is why. America was all ticked off. It is alot easier to motivate people to do what you want when they are angry. The point is not about body count, the point is what happens when you either ignore or delay the information given you. Sometimes 4 people die, sometimes 50 thousand people die. COVID blindsided the entire world. Woulda, shoulda, coulda is easy to say now. We are all Monday morning quarterbacks. Every monday morning I always know what my Buffalo Bills did to lose the game. It is so much easier to understand what went wrong after the game has been played.
COVID did not blindside the whole world. Scientists have been telling us for years that something like this was coming. They were ignored by everyone, well most everyone. We as a world, could have been better prepared. We as a nation could have been better prepared.

It’s Fauci’s fault that he didn’t tell us to shelter in place. That is the only mistake we made. We didn’t shelter in place in February because Fauci didn’t give the order. Had he told us to shelter in place, we would have ramped up testing and would have had been sufficiently prepared.
Fauci must have missed the warnings that an emerging virus would pose a threat.

I can’t imagine why Fauci would say this based on all the extensive testing that we were doing.... “things could change”....just CYA. Dude is dumb.

Pretty good bet. Hospitals remain quite strained, not over run.
and Hogan has acted apolitically (or at least without partisanship bias) to date.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if he found some aspect of the order to ease a hair by May 15.
Baby steps are likely coming.

Civil discourse is supposed to be civil, not derogatory for crying out loud!
Oh c'on. This forum is a lot better now that we have a much better Admin.
As for united/divided, it would help in the nitwit-in-chief would stop pointing the finger at Obama and the Dems and admit that he is the one who screwed the CDC and the nation's response to the virus.
I, too, prefer this Admin's posture and process.
However, I'm with Jim that posters are being uncivil at an alarmingly increasing rate on these threads recently.
More personal, more nasty. Less "civil".
I'm generally fine with ripping our elected officials on a Politics thread, but I'd like the rips to be substantive and be a good faith attempt to be accurate and truthful. We can and should have vigorous disagreement on the meaning of what occurs, differing views on what policies might work out best.
But trolling merely to inflame, using purposely inaccurate information?
No value.
And tearing into one another in wild screeds?
Really bad.

Listening to Cuomo's morning report this AM, in which he just pointed out that Germany eased its' restrictions and saw a 40% rise in infections so they are backing off. Not the best of news from a country with a far lower infections rate than ours.
