Funny the administration is also pushing that line.. well the death rate is Low..

Yet many hosptials ICUs are at or near capacity New infections rates are still climbing ..exposing more people to the disease.. and. Its effects but the death rate is low so we'll keep rolling the dice.

The right loves this kind of response.. no gun control. Reason school shooting rarely happen
Global warming . Answer it still snows??
Donald Trump
Look at my 401k
Police reforms ans blacks kill black more than police

His supporters want to cherry pick their support .

I had friends who couldn't believe i voted for Obama
Jokingly i said i voted for the white half .. even that wasn't enough. I was told i voted for him so i own him.

Now theses same friends and some here don't want to apply the same standard to themselves

Trump: "Well, I think we are in a good place."
Fauci: "We're facing a serious problem now."
On coronavirus testing
Trump: "We're almost up to 40 million in testing, which is unheard of."
Fauci: "This is the thing that is a little bit concerning: You say, well, we now have 37 million tests ... There are still lapses there where the dots are not being connected."
On the mortality rate
Trump: "If you look at the chart of deaths, deaths are way down."
Fauci: "It's a false narrative to take comfort in a lower rate of death."

Let’s see one guy is a perpetual liar and really cares only about his 2020 chances, the other a long time well respected medical professional, who cares only for the safe and responsible slow of this crisis.

Who should I believe, me thinks I will go with the guy with a brain and degree.

The latest tweet
In Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and many other countries, SCHOOLS ARE OPEN WITH NO PROBLEMS. The Dems think it would be bad for them politically if U.S. schools open before the November Election, but is important for the children & families. May cut off funding if not open!

A large percentage of teachers are forced to buy their own school supplies, let’s pull federal funding if they don’t do as the king demands. There is a pattern here, so many times he has made statements of actions he plans to take, which he probably doesn’t even know he has no power to implement, or if he does; it’s action he would take if given the same power of his dictator friends. Once he realizes he can’t take that action, he flips into punish those he can to make someone pay the price for not following the kings wishes. Mary Trumps book probably has some great insight of why he is so f*cked up.

Seems like his opinion changes depending on whether he agrees with the local decision or not. He is threatening to take $ away from educ. (even though he hasn't told us how).

For the 1/100th time, the reason we show so many Cases, compared to other countries that haven’t done nearly as well as we have, is that our TESTING is much bigger and better. We have tested 40,000,000 people. If we did 20,000,000 instead, Cases would be half, etc. NOT REPORTED!

THE FACTS

1) Per capita testing: in regards to number of tests done per 1 million people, the USA is barely in the Top 20 in the world

2) Community spread: cases of COVID19 have surged in multiple states of the USA due to increasing spread of the virus

Denmark: 1 test per 5 residents
US: 1 test per 8.5 residents

Cases yesterday:
Denmark: 12

In Rasmussen poll (Tweety’s favorite pollster) only 74% of Republicans are voting for him. Not to mention the many conservatives who don’t identify as Republicans anymore because of Tweety.
And now he’s commuting sentences rather than pardon, so his accomplices can still plead the fifth.
And as Tweety says that’s an admission of guilt.

Unfortunately it's not untrue.

Wait till this afternoon when we see Tweety in his Rose Garden Presser try and pivot the attention from the virus to the riots.
Just like in the 1968 race, when Roger Ailes told Nixon to pivot from Vietnam to the post-King riots.
Nixon went full-on "law and order" not only about African Americans but also about the hippy proto-Bernie Bros in Chicago.

Ailes knew the secret "law and order" was a code for race and for culture anxiety in 1968. The language, the "Silent Majority" crap, the aggrieved whining is 1968 all over again.

Tweety wants the coverage of burning buildings. Tweety wants the cops v protesters.

By later today, you'll see posts about law and order backing a lawless and orderless Administration led by a criminal. Bannon, Miller, and the rest of the Trump fluffers ADORE this culture war.

They're ALREADY modeling how the rioting plays for campaign messaging, I promise you.

Also, 103,000 Americans are dead.

Now 60,000 more are dead, there are riots in the streets and Tweety is claiming to be the Law and Order President exactly as I predicted in May.

Remember what awful president allowed this American carnage to happen

So governors and mayors have zero ownership? It's all on the president?

So the fact that the death rates are insanely high in the democrat-led states, means absolutely nothing. It's all because of a Republican president.

Obama? He didn't restock the basic pandemic supplies and didn't continue keeping the plan in place going which was compounded by China delaying accurate news about the virus, and the WHO playing it down along with our politicians and media in the beginning.

Then Trump having to deal with it while being opposed by Dems and anti-Trumpers, and having to tightrope through a federated constitutional system which slows down and makes more complicated any federal action, especially compared with most of the other systems of government in which the executive and party in power are allowed more freedom and power to act in contrast to our system which gives the opposition more power and opportunity to politick against and make executive action more difficult.

Obama? He didn't restock the basic pandemic supplies and didn't continue keeping the plan in place going which was compounded by China delaying accurate news about the virus, and the WHO playing it down along with our politicians and media in the beginning.

Tweety had 3 years to refill the basic pandemic supplies and didn't. His administration didn't pay attention when warned about other countries buying up the supplies that would shortly be needed.

It was Jan. 22, a day after the first case of covid-19 was detected in the United States, and orders were pouring into Michael Bowen’s company outside Fort Worth, some from as far away as Hong Kong.

Bowen’s medical supply company, Prestige Ameritech, could ramp up production to make an additional 1.7 million N95 masks a week. He viewed the shrinking domestic production of medical masks as a national security issue, though, and he wanted to give the federal government first dibs.

“We still have four like-new N95 manufacturing lines,” Bowen wrote that day in an email to top administrators in the Department of Health and Human Services. “Reactivating these machines would be very difficult and very expensive but could be achieved in a dire situation.”

But communications over several days with senior agency officials — including Robert Kad#^&lec, the assistant secretary for preparedness and emergency response — left Bowen with the clear impression that there was little immediate interest in his offer.


Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Thursday he was mistaken in claiming that the Obama administration had failed to leave a pandemic playbook for the Trump White House.
Too late to blame China and the WHO for Tweety's failures, you might be able to get a few weeks or at most a month out of that but we are the only developed nation that is still fighting a growing pandemic 4 months later. Probably Bidens fault

Then Trump having to deal with it while being opposed by Dems and anti-Trumpers, and having to tightrope through a federated constitutional system which slows down and makes more complicated any federal action, especially compared with most of the other systems of government in which the executive and party in power are allowed more freedom and power to act in contrast to our system which gives the opposition more power and opportunity to politick against and make executive action more difficult.

So you are admitting that Tweety was and is unable to manage our bureaucracy.
That's exactly why I have been Never Trump since his escalator descent.
Everything is wonderful in Tweety's world until there is a problem, then he finds someone to blame.
"I take no responsibility at all"
"You'll have to ask my lawyer"

The President appoints political heads of the bureaucracy, some appointments by law need to be approved by Congress, he’s been failing to perform the required appointments. He’s also blocking the Constitutionally required congressional oversight of his administration. He is responsible for the spending of funds appropriated by Congress.
Contrary to his belief he doesn’t have great powers but does have great responsibility.

Tweety had 3 years to refill the basic pandemic supplies and didn't.

Why would he ask the CDC to order supplies if the agency didn't request it? How would he have known if, or even suspected if, there was a shortage?

His administration didn't pay attention when warned about other countries buying up the supplies that would shortly be needed.

He did a good job of having our manufacturers produce supplies.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Thursday he was mistaken in claiming that the Obama administration had failed to leave a pandemic playbook for the Trump White House.

A playbook, but no supplies. Obama didn't even follow the guidelines of his own playbook that required keeping an adequate stock. There was no air of emergency until the Chit hit the fan. Then everything had to be geared up from scratch.

Too late to blame China and the WHO for Tweety's failures, you might be able to get a few weeks or at most a month out of that but we are the only developed nation that is still fighting a growing pandemic 4 months later. Probably Bidens fault

So now your narrative is changing from he didn't start soon enough to now its too late. He started when it became clear that China and the WHO had lied. What is it too late for? Fauci thinks that we can turn the corner.

And this virus, like the flu, is not going away. We can, like the flu, mitigate it and contain it to a degree with vaccines and a degree of herd immunity, and further research.

Everything is wonderful in Tweety's world until there is a problem,

It's wonderful for most folks until there is a problem.

then he finds someone to blame.

It's good to find out who did it.

"I take no responsibility at all"

It used to be annoying, but is now farcical how you keep repeating that quote as if Trump constantly says it. The only time I recall it being used by him was in regards to to the CDC's lag in providing test kits. And, as an Atlantic article pointed out " in full context, Trump was referring only to the test kits." And, as well, the Atlantic article further said "in full context, and most-sympathetically read—[it] had a meaning you could understand and perhaps defend. None of that context or meaning survived . . . [and] . . . went from being [a phrase] to [a]weaponized symbol . . . You, in effect, are lying and stripping it of it's original context and weaponizing it in order to constantly bash Trump.


"You'll have to ask my lawyer"

That's a perfectly good thing to say. There are times when a lawyer should do the answering.

“China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency.”

That was pitiful attempt at diplomacy. He still had hopes of securing a trade deal with China. I've said many times that China was in no position to make a fair deal, unless the CCP wanted to commit political suicide. I think, rightly so, that has all gone sour now. But, who knows, if Trump gets re-elected, much to China's chagrin, and the rest of the world wises up about China's intentions, the CCP may have to come to some agreement or face a revolt.

We, on the "right" here have been warning that there would be a time when all the unconstitutional power that Progressives have shifted to the federal government would be under the reins of someone they feared.

But that won't stop them from making the shift complete. Any help in doing so by Trump will not go unappreciated. It doesn't seem to bother you. You're all in for President Biden, along with Pelosi, Schumer, and the rising Squad to help finish the job of making the federal government the go to solver for any and all problems, even the ones they create in greater quantity along the way.

And, of course, it's a given for you that they will solve everything that ails us . . . because they're smarter and better. That it might seem, on the surface, that problems have intensified under unconstitutional federal direction, that's just a mirage. It's like that you've got to crack eggs to make an omellete thing. In the long run, you and your eggs don't matter. An all powerful government that will tell us what is good for us, and make us do it--that is what's important. Because we are not capable of making our own omelletes.

Trump: [farts during a speech]

If you’re keeping track
Obama issued 276 executive orders over eight years. Before today, Trump had issued 177 over less than four. That's almost a 40% increase in the rate of issuance.

Not keeping track. Meaningless numbers is your forte. It's not the number of EO's that matter. It's the constitutionality of each. An EO that falls within the power given to the executive branch in the Constitution is constitutional. When the EO started to be used by Progressives outside the constitutional power granted to the President, especially in the FDR presidency, it became an overused method to circumvent the role and wishes of Congress. That Precedent has been set with a vengeance.

A lot of Trump's EO's were removal of executive orders made by Obama. But, as some of us have been saying on this forum, those happy with the EO's made by Progressives (specifically by Obama) there would come a time when someone would come to power that they didn't like. Welcome to your political Frankenstein.

Whatever the "same" people screamed about Obama doing EOs is irrelevant to me. If you're talking to me, forget about the "same" people. My objection to EOs is not their existence or mere use of. It is their unconstitutional use of. And it is of that unconstitutional use that Progressives created a massive precedent. To "scream" now that Trump is doing what Progressives have basically institutionalized smacks of selective criticism, especially hypocritical if your not concerned with Progressives gaining control of the federal government.

Trump is not the problem in that respect. Progressivism is. And any little move, even by electing Republicans instead of Democrats, to help put some brakes on the Progressive march to unlimited power, would seem to be a welcome one to you if you truly oppose unconstitutional use of EOs along with the rest of the Progressive abuse of the Constitution.

Any unconstitutional move by Trump can be opposed by suing it in the Courts. If it makes its way to the Supreme, then the four dyed in the wool Progressives along with Roberts and most of the original constitutionalist Judges if not all will strike it down. If the court is packed with Progressive picks, it will uphold unconstitutional acts by Progressive legislators and Progressive Presidents.

That is the issue, not Trump or Biden.

The difference is that in the beginning the virus was an unknown. So if you want to say it caused some deaths feel free. But that # is nothing compared to the incompetence shown by Trump.

If you believe in the Constitution, as you say you do, then you don't believe in the Constitution as written, but in the fictitious one that Progressives claim has evolved through some miraculous living and breathing. Of course, that kind of evolution is nonsense. This fictitious Constitution evolved through Progressive manipulation, not by some time driven life force.

Your desire for these listed national plans is evidence that you want the all-powerful Progressive central government that the Constitution is supposed to protect us against.

Do you believe states are necessary? Would you consider it better if they were relegated merely to being geographically described areas rather than sovereign states with their own constitutions.

Whether you describe your personal political principles as Progressive or not, you constantly express your political desires the way a Progressive would. And if you are a Progressive, you believe in the Constitution as Ruth Bader Ginsburg does. She has said that she would not recommend it as a governing principle for any country looking to create a blue print for national governance. She has said that she would prefer more recent ones with lengthy more detailed positive things government must do.

Has the Progressive erosion of our constitutional system created a Presidency that has the power to shut down all the health systems, private and public, that we have in this country?

i so t care to see obamas transcripts, i just think it's interesting that he went to great lengths to hide them. gotta be a reason. the democrats ridiculed bush for his transcripts, yet never asked obama for
anything.

paul, we can go back
and forth all day with examples of hypocrisy on all sides. i don’t care about obama’s grades one bit. i only brought them up, to show the hypocrisy on the issue.

But you're the one who wanted the transcripts and now you want to talk about only serious things?

Should we discuss how many states Obama said he visited again?

no i didn’t want the transcripts ( i see very little
connection between gpa and intelligence). i only brought it up
to show the hypocrisy.

and i never, ever used the 57 states thing, again except to point out the hypocrisy. i said a million times that anyone will
say dumb things if recorded 24/7.

i didn’t need to be petty in my criticism
if obama. there were more than enough america-bashing policy disasters to focus on. i never, ever said that his 57 states comment
meant anything, except to say it should
mean the same as any stupid comments made
by republicans.

Biden’s obviously senility is a different story, but we will
likely have a lot of opportunity to get used to that, if he wins.

i’m not the grammar police paul. i’m not that stupid. i focus on things that matter.

They are both, like most of us, very flawed people. But it's not about which least flawed person should we vote for. It's about whether to slow down and continue to slowly reverse the Progressive agenda of an unlimited government, or to put its agenda back in high gear.

Not about Trump the narcist renegade

Not about Biden the decrepit phony Democrat tool.

Not about Trump . . . not about Biden . . .

It's not about Trump. It's not about Biden. You keep trying to drag us into a discussion of Trump. It's not about Trump. He is not supposed to make law. Nor is the Court supposed to make law. The more we vote for Progressives, the more Presidents and Judges will be empowered to make law. Educate yourself about the Constitution. And about the Progressive agenda re the Constitution and The Court.

I’m pretty sure the upcoming election is about both, one has a clue and the other is clueless. We all are really sure who your voting for, but you keep preaching to an audience of what three or four, it’s really sad to watch. Nothing you say is going to change our minds, but I have to say, you and Pete are relentless in your efforts. If a gray squirrel was on the Democratic ticket against Trump, Rocky the flying squirrel gets my vote.

oh my yes, biden sees things more clearly then trump. watch the first debate, then let’s see if you can say that with a straight face.

biden PROMISED that if he won, there’d be a cure for cancer. go ahead and defend that. tell us that’s not taking advantage of people at their most desperate and vulnerable.

I never said it was a character flaw, I thought I clearly said it cracks me up that posts continue to be put up, in what appears on the surface to be an attempt to change others perspectives and that on this board will NEVER happen. Post away, enjoy your freedom of speech, I find it humorous to see the continuing debates as if anything on either side will change. We are over 5 million cases, this crazy wacky board is like late night TV to me, sad and funny at the same time.

Bump, for two reasons...
1. Any word on the big healthcare reform that was supposed to happen in two weeks, months ago?
2. Looks like Trump knew Covid was pretty bad in February but downplayed it anyways (via Bob Woodward)... Still digesting this one, and want to read the transcripts for full context....

I doubt you'll see the transcripts other than the recordings he released. It's not that alarming :rollem: We knew Trump has been selfishly misleading Americans and costing lives to minimize political harm. Only difference now is that it's clear he was fully informed to the seriousness of the pandemic from the beginning and has lied incessantly about it.

It's not even like his shirking his oath to the Constitution any more, Trump has been intentionally working to harm Americans.

Considering the blatant lie or mistruth count is up over 20,000 at this point, getting the honest real truth about anything would be the real shocker. I’m sure our resident Sarah Huckleberry Mr. Debate will get out his blue font to tell us how wrong we are to call them lies. I really think it’s time for him to change the blue font to the real color he represents on this board, it would be more honest.

They're just going to say he's always told the truth and cares deeply about the health and safety of the American people. His base will just lap it up.

Poking fun at the Trumpets on this board I’d categorize as an amusement, my hobby’s include golf (down to a 3 handicap), fishing and working in the yard. Sampling as many good IPA’s is also a hobby of sorts, which has the benefit of keeping me regular as clockwork in the morning.
