I know your anger went up when you where no longer the one who posted the most here. And you even had the nerve to complain about how much he posted.

nice rant, but if you could get around to responding to what i write?
if china says our military did this, you think it’s wrong for the president to ( very brashly) respond?

respond like a child and call it the china virus instead of being a big boy and using the scientific name? No one, even the Chinese people think the US created it so why stoop to their level. I could care less what China says about it and I don't want our Pres. to act like a child. |

why? republicans were in favor
of this idea? is it because the emergency bill didn’t include a cut to payroll tax, which some
republicans want? bullsh*t to block.

this is why facts are important.
MSNBC of all
outlets, is reporting that the gop
blocked the bill, because the democrats put some abortion related items in there. Joy Reid in MSNBC was bashing the democrats for trying to do something so sleazy as attaching an abortion agenda to corona virus funding.
Facts are important. it’s not as simple as moscow
mitch not wanting to help people. this is assuming MSNBC is accurate, but even you have to admit they aren’t in the habit of
lying to attack democrats.
i await your response.

Don’t know the details and if that happened I’d agree, that typical political BS has no place in this process. Still the hypocrisy is still there in the GOP, look at Matt Gaetz and Cruz, both took a 2 week paid sick leave and both voted against bills to support paid sick leave in 2013 and 2015. |

Don’t worry, once again Jim has a 180 degree misunderstanding because he failed to read past the Fox headline.

And I was just on a call where the question was asked if the major insurance companies were waiving copays for the coronavirus treatments like Trump claimed in his speech. The answer was absolutely not. They agreed to waive co-pays only for coronavirus testing, not treatments.
So he either lied again, was sloppy in writing the speech or can't read what is in front of him.
But hey, Obama once said he visited 57 states.

the february jobs report absolutely crushed. i havent heard anyone say the us economy isn’t strong. this plummet happened because someone in eastern china ate an infected armadillo, not because consumer demand isn’t strong or because of any other issues with our economy.
if the feds banned fishing, and people stopped buying your plastics, does that mean i can claim jyour plastics stink?

I've seen posts here in the past days that accuse the Chinese of developing the corona virus in a secret lab.
I've heard numbers of our politicians call it the Chinese virus and claim that they did nothing about it.
It's not acceptable.
Here's what AMERICAN DOCTOR Eugene Gu, MD said about calling it Chinese

As a Chinese Korean American, I know what it’s like going outside with the sniffles due to allergies. People are scared of anyone who coughs, but if you’re Asian it’s like you’re a terrorist. So please don’t call it the Chinese Coronavirus. We’re already walking on eggshells.

Heard a Fox news host defending Trumps use of Chinese Virus by saying Ebola was named after a River ... it's amazing to see how much time Fox spends showing what CNN MsNBC and even the view has to say about Trump , then run to his defense .. in awe of last night's speech, but ignore the market tanking or all the major closures.. |

The US and South Korea announced their first cases of the coronavirus on the same day: January 20. After more than six weeks, the US has only tested some 1,500 for the virus. South Korea has tested about 140,000.
Our own government is to blame if this balloons into a crisis.

It already is, schools closing, sports seasons over, people hoarding supplies and if you think the market is just reacting to the virus your head is stuck in the sand. The market is reacting to not just the virus, it’s this lame administrations handling from the start. Best president of our lifetime my arse and now that his Trump card the economy just went down the drain the Trump clan must be looking at how to keep the family businesses from tanking so they have something to fall back on. |

Futures were up 300 points last night when Trump started talking. When he was done it was down a thousand. He repeatedly lies and has no plan that is partly what is scaring people in the market.

he limited travel, he is proposing ways to limit the financial impact to people who could
lose paychecks. he talked about the precautions we should
take. they’re working on test kits. what should he have said, that he didn’t say?
i know i like the guys results more than you do. but seriously, in your opinion, what should he have said?
markets are tanking everywhere, aren't they? does that mean everyone dislikes their
leaders the way you dislike trump? did you give him credit when the markets were soaring? or is it only his doing when something bad happens?
the bull market ( longest in history) was because of favorable things done by Obama, then Trump. How
is this plummet his fault? can you point to a nation with a leader you
like, whose stock market isn’t falling right now, because you think that leader did a better job ha sling the virus? it’s a global
pandemic that started in China, and likely exacerbated by China
mishandling it.
if the drop was because of concerns over the debt, he owns that. how does he own this?

I never blamed the plummet on Trump. Just as I never gave him credit for all of the run-up. However today's sell-off had a lot to do with his speech last night and the lack of planning and his lies.

that’s fair.
do you have kids in school? we have 3. they haven’t announced any cancellations in my town yet, but teachers sent kids home today with tons of work, lots of talk about online learning. i assume schools will be closed for two
weeks starting monday.
as you probably know, the CIAC cancelled high school sports tournaments. yet
my 7th graders who plays travel basketball, has his final 4 this weekend in wethersfield, and they told us that they’re planning to play with no spectators. if it’s not safe for high school kids to play in empty gyms, how can it be safe for 7th graders.
Hope you and yours are completely unscathed.

Funny to see my friends on FB who have given Trump never ending praise about their 401ks and the market shift gears into blaming the media and others about it now.. did the media ban Flights did the media call it a hoax did the media tell americans everyone who needed a test could get one, and rich people are tanking the market not avg people
Trump isn't the sole cause and never has been but his base cant accepted what he is responsible for ..

Why is Trump refusing to get tested? Wouldn't it help the public to see The POTUS to do what he suggest the people to do and have done . TRUMP knows he was next to a postive person we have photos.. take the test and reassure the public.

Trump* is trying to make Pelosi president.
Both he and Pence have been exposed to people diagnosed with corona and if yesterday’s presser was any indication are not doing the cdc recommended protocols.

I think he is showing courage and leadership under trying circumstances. Rest assured, he is aware of the consequences.
