    ...the fact that they are different is not some self-sufficient argument. You have to actually take the effort to explain your point.

    He's had one rally. There are a lot of bare Democrat faces when the cameras are off. Trump is honest, he doesn't feel the need so he doesn't wear one. I agree with him.

    Here is a timeline for the initial lockdown around the world. You may notice that the US is broken down to States because that is how we live and govern.

    Yes, blaming Trump. He wanted to be our president. Well, surprise, Donnie, that job carries some heavy responsibilities, which you are not handling at all.

    At the very least, he could have invoked the Defense Production Act to force the few manufacturers we still have to retool and start producing PPE, ICU beds and equipment, and ventilators, as well as ramp up labs to produce more tests and get those test results out quicker. Only the president can do that, not states or cities. He could also have mandated that HHS or another agency create a dedicated contact tracing group.

    Epic fail on all counts. As a result, we are about to run out of N95 masks and other PPE items, with no relief in sight.

    In what way? Please describe the details of this hysteria you find in my posts.

    I think I heard a scraping sound. Did you reach the bottom of the debate barrel?

    We also govern by way of declared national emergencies. See #55.

    It will be two after tonight. Neither were necessary and both posed additional risks.

    As for him not wearing a mask, he is someone that can influence the behavior of millions of his supporters. He should do so by personally acting in a manner that we want everyone to act (i.e. wear a mask().

    The usual lefties just want to play politics and its all about blaming Trump. Reality doesnt seem to matter to them.

    But it is important to point it out as we approach November. There is so much disinformation about Trump and what he did to fight the pandemic that we can't just let it stand uncontested.

    I agree. Most of the leftie posters are simply repeating the same hate filled rants with lots of fearmongering and cherry picked stats. Its like they just reword the same thing a dozen different ways.

    Masks are bogus and should be optional everywhere. The real threat is rioting, spreads coronavirus and destroys property. Trump can do rallies because he can string enough sentences together to make a point. Y'all can't hide Joe forever.

    Let's watch Trump string enough sentences together to make a point about his agenda for a 2nd term:



    I'm sorry...what was the point he wanted to make there?

    Trump did his job. He shut down international travel in a timely manner and managed the logistics for governors who asked for help. Most of them were Democrats who now distort what took place like the back stabbing politicians they are.

    As soon as they say "Trump" I scroll on by, I totally ignore the hyperbole.

    People that don't get my point are not smart enough to be voting.

    I did not understand your point (because you didn't make one), but I, a lawyer with an undergraduate degree in political science, will definitely still be voting.

    Utter nonsense.

    Herd immunity would take years and cost millions of deaths.

    That's called surrender...and oh yea...it's Trump's policy
