    Thank you for acknowledging that you can in no way substantiate the batshit crazy right wing conspiracy you threw out there.

    Nothing on your link would help with Covid 19. But the WHO said in January that the virus was not transmitted human to human. I guess you would find the truth weird.
    The WHO was saying idiotic things. Trump has done a stellar job.

    Oh, until they investigated.....lolz! Funny how you give them the benefit of the doubt.
    Prepare for what? Hindsight is 20/20. At that time no one knew much about the virus. How do you prepare for an unknown?
    Cuomo is the governor. He runs the state.
    Nah, not even close. Trump reacted much quicker than others. What was congress doing? Not a peep from them.

    No!!! Shokin had investigated Burisma for events that had taken place between 2010 and 2012. That investigation had already been abandoned when Biden asked for Shokin's removal. Hunter Biden joined in 2014.

    WTF? Then you stockpile what is needed!

    I don't know what your argument to defend your idol even is. He didn't stock what was necessary to deal with a health crisis that he was alerted about very early on. Nothing you have said excuses the lack of leadership. He has shown he is not qualified for the job.

    Incorrect. WHO did not say that. They quoted Chinese authorities saying that. Huge difference.

    You posted a useless link. How is anyone supposed to know what to stockpile? You do not even know what link to post!

    I posted the link because you asked for it!

    "Anyone" is "supposed" to know what to stockpile because they know what is going to be needed to deal with a pandemic! What a competent President would have done is consult with an epidemics expert and ask what supplies are necessary to deal with this pandemic that he was informed about in his daily security briefings.. Experts like those you would find in the WH office that Obama created to deal with epidemics... oh yeah! I forgot! Trump shut down that office!

    What this dope has done is indefensible. And your failure in your attempts to find some way to defend him p proves it.

    I did not ask for something useless. What you posted proved nothing other than you are desperate. Trying to blame Trump has blown up in your face.

    That's why the person who makes the claim is supposed to bring the quote! Because they didn't say it! If you claim they did, show the quote and then maybe you'll understand what the quote you are responding to means.

    This is why the right never uses quotes..... they just... repeat what they heard on the radio.

    You did ask for something useless. Even after I had twice (at least) told you it was useless. I believe "weird" was the word I used, if I remember correctly, on one of those occasions.

    I read this on another site and it cuts through all of the lying bullshit that trump and his gang have been pushing. This is an example of how intelligent people who aren’t emotional cripples like trump behave:

    H1N1 was originally known as the Spanish Flu when it infected the United States in 1918, causing 675,000 deaths (which, adjusted to today’s larger population, would be the equivalent of TWO MILLION deaths).

    When it returned in 2009, in Obama’s first year, he acted immediately to identify, isolate and contain, and it barely made a ripple. Obama, newly inaugurated and in his first year, was faced with turning around the massive economic collapse he inherited from Bush and two wars resulting from Bush’s failures to connect dots and understand intelligence. Obama did it all. Stopped the H1N1 in its tracks AND successfully reversed the steady job losses and turned them into a record number of consecutive months of job gains while tripling the stock market.

    Five years later, in 2014, when Ebola hit, 11 cases made it to the U.S. and two people died. Again, Obama acted immediately to isolate and contain and stopped it. In 2014, trump called on Obama to resign because of the two deaths. And then there was Zika. Prompt action, the creation of a specialized Pandemic Response Unit, and Obama never faltered in his pursuit of economic prosperity.

    Now in 2020, after trump eliminated the Pandemic Response Unit that Obama created and ignored the pandemic until it exploded out of control, the possibility of isolation and containment are long gone, the markets have collapsed, unemployment is exploding, and trump — the one who failed to take action when action was possible — is making excuses and says he takes “no responsibility.”

    Something that Obama and Biden didn't do either. Yeah yeah, I know, Trump is in charge right now and he should have foreseen that we needed the specific kinds of masks that we need right now. Never mind the fact that from day one Democrats have been making his life hell because of their hatred with false accusations, investigations and impeachment scam. Trump is supposed to know exactly everything that needs to be done from day one. But aside from all that...why didn't Congress provide the money for restocking everything that Obama used up? It's their job to appropriate the money needed to restock. Trump can't just do it on his own. Unless of course there is an emergency, then he can. But there was no emergency related to virus's so he couldn't.

    This did happen. Trump even offered back in January to send medical experts over to China to help with the virus. They refused.

    This was done also. Back in January. A level 3 travel warning was issued on the 27th. On January 30 it was raised to level 4.

    Part of the job of a President is to not cause panic. That you do not like how he tried to keep people calm is not his fault. I'm quite sure that if Trump had portrayed it in even a slightly more dangerous light Trump haters would have claimed that he was just fearmongering. Oh wait...that already happened....

    Hate to break it to you but Trump does not have the power to order a stay at home mandate to everyone in the US. He can suggest it (which he has done). But he cannot order it. The Governors of each State has to do that. It's that whole pesky Constitution and jurisdiction thing that so many Dems don't like. Don't believe me? Look to Sanctuary laws for evidence. No State has to enforce any law made by the Federal Government. If they can ignore actual laws...what do you think they could do with a Trump "order"? ESPECIALLY Democrat controlled States that absolutely hate Trumps guts. They would have ignored such an order just out of spite. So sorry to ruin your day but for this you need to blame the individual governors. Not Trump. Well...if you actually want to be fair that is....

    Stockpile what? The WHO said it was no big deal in Jan. They're the "experts" right? You're saying YOU would have the foresight to ignore their message?

    In Feb the NYC Health Commissioner said that the China Flu shouldnt interrupt your weekend gatherings.

    But please, tell me how Trump is to blame because he didnt micromanage the jobs of the governors of our states.

    Like the President, ANY President actually sits down with a two inch inventory ledger or database and itemizes what his country has on hand ;) Leftist are beyond logical with this.. For starters it's only been three years, Mr, Obatard should have replenished stores after H1N1, he is the moron that dropped the ball! No President should have something like that on his plate entering in to office, and CLEARY Mr. Obatard didn't have to assess that when faced with his little Pandemic, did he ;)

    As I say, for the left, none of this is really as important to them but the opportunity to attempt TO pin something, anything on this three year President :) Mr. Obatard is the mutt that didn't replace or leave his successor as HE WAS LEFT!
