American government has failed

[Will Hunting]

yup

but what else do you do?

i can see pelosi trying to help citizens while ing repuke senators insert FISA and biden/ukraine garbage

You play chicken and refuse to compromise on certain things the same way Cocaine Mitch does.

Trump president, not Hillary.

The suggestion that Clinton would have done better is stupid because she's not in office. Trump is. You don't need to compare Trump with the counter-factual of President Hillary Clinton to say that Trump has completely and utterly ed this up. People that need to resort to the "Clinton could have done this better" are doing themselves a disservice by playing exactly into one of Dear Leader's talking points. It doesn't take much to point out how Dear Leader has ed up the immediate response to the crisis - something that can be easily done without reference to other .

Repug willful, intentional MISgovernment has succeeded wildly

[vy65]

A week after the first American was diagnosed with the virus in January Trump said, “We have it totally under control.”

On February 24 he sent the same message, tweeting: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA.”

Trump’s spin, echoed by his choir in right-wing media, continued to downplay the public health crisis and dismissed the need to declare a national emergency.

He predicted on February 26 that the number of infections is “going very substantially down, not up” and in “a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”

Incredibly, on February 28 he put more spin on the message by saying: “It’s going to disappear…like a miracle — it will disappear.”

The fundamental principles behind good public health communication are stunningly simple and obvious :

Be consistent. Be accurate. Don’t withhold vital information. And above all, don’t let anyone on to the podium without the preparation, knowledge and discipline to deliver vital Health messages.

Straight from the CDC manual based on botched public health responses in the past.


Well it’s pretty obvious the current administration does not work like this. Who is in charge now and delivering the statements? is it Pence or Jared Kushner or has that changed again? Trump flies by the seat of his pants and you just don’t do this as a good leader of the most powerful nation on earth.

Just like NK. We know fat leader and how he plays. Trump then relies on his self perceived powers of self personal persuasion. Well good luck convincing a virus and the people of the US after 3 years of lying and slight of hand victories created by botching a situation first.

After this is over I can’t wait to hear how Trump personally stopped a total catastrophe.

of course i agree

but maybe she picked option 2: get something now- keep grinding
(at least that seems like a dem talking point i heard from dems over wkend)

[CosmicCowboy]

The only countries that were ready for this were those that already made their mistakes with SARS last time and were ready this time. Those of us that didn't have SARS are learning the hard way this time around.

...instead of taking the high road, burying the hatchet & insist on a sit with Him & the entire gamut of necessary (players).

But, let us face it,,,the only reason these "2" are dealing thru Manuchin's phone is because the (danger) is minimal from Corona. If it were lethal like 9/11 they'd head for each other without pause & the sit would occur, like it did nigh on 20 years ago.

So, they can afford to play politics. No (lives) are at stake...just livelihood & most importantly not THEIR livelihood.

& the old man early on (fortnight) stated to eschewing (politics), but, it was 1/2 hearted. He wasn't serious. He wants to thrash "them" for past wounds inflicted and as long "as we're losing thousands upon thousands of flu victims each year to abject silence I ain't going to stop."

total CC BULL

If Trash and his kakistocracy had reacted to what was going in China in early January, containment in USA was in reach.

Trash personally destaffed, silenced the govt to protect his own personal reputation, reelection campaign, played it down, and still does.

USA, at least the non-Repug USA, didn't need a serious SARS history to react and manage covid-19 effectively.

Complete bull . Prior experience wouldn't have somehow made Trump not say the stupid he's said. Or use WHO's test kits. Or not terminate the PRT.

complete horse culb

there would be zero “past wounds” or whatever garbage you spew

if the criminal would have reported the russian advances on day 1

call the fbi/ report russia and win election fair and square

but he didnt and any “wounds” to this traitor henceforth are self-inflicted and are justified


no fantasy that the “other side” or the whataboutism russian tactic apply


simply a criminal who will eventually be prosecuted

[koriwhat]

A re screaming things doesn't make it so. Just ask kori. You're both pretty similar, except kori works.

You're blinded by hate, Homer...& frankly for no other reason than He made President. You can't get over it.

you just cannot fathom anyone not subscribing to “fandom” like you and your idiot complicit cult brothers

or the opposite side of people who still subscribe to all this being a red vs blue game


i give a about this country and the rule of law and if trump was just an incompetent fool or a guy “out of his depth”
i would not give two s-
i would merely shrug and call it “politics as usual” and that is it

if he had won fair and square and was a LEGITIMATE president- it would be the same-
i would just blame stupid americans for legitimately voting him in


but it is nowhere near that


he is a criminal and dangerous to our country and to our planet
and he is planted in our govt by an enemy foreign govt

wake the up already

...then you move into the name calling, Homer.

You'll be fine if you persevere come November. Until then you're going to be a hand full.
