Go back and read my post. I didn't lie, but unless you can produce a quote of me calling him xenophobic for blocking flights from China, you lied.

We failed at testing early and often, and according to your hero, the blame of that rests squarely on the leader. Originally Posted by 1pittsburgh

Also, drive thru facilities. Without private sector involvement, this could have been a lot worse. Now, the US has tested more people than anyone else. At the end of the day, it’s about the mortality rate. Ours is almost identical to South Korea’s. And may ultimately be lower.

The US has not tested more people than anyone else. Why do you people keep repeating that lie?

It's funny to me that the most at risk age demographics are also the ones most likely to think that this clown is doing a good job.

The mortality rate in both countries is about even, around 1.2%. That number will probably go down here once more tests are done. According to Andrew Cuomo, the US has done more testing in the last 8 days than SK has done in the last 8 weeks. If you have a beef with that, call him. Abbott just introduced a test that will give results in 15 minutes.

Meanwhile here is what the moronic liberal running NYC was doing in March - and why it is the epicenter of the breakout in the US



And the NYC Health Commissioner



Oh - and for good measure, the inept Senate Minority leader from New York:

You libtards are so transparent. You claim to have a monopoly on caring and compassion and empathy. But deep down everyone knows you're secretly rooting for the virus. You want this to be "Trump's Katrina". You snarkily refer to it as the "Trump plague". You want to fan fear and keep the economy on lockdown as long as possible to cripple Trump's re-election chances. If thousands of Americans die and/or millions are not allowed to return to work, it's a small price to pay to defeat Trump. Never let a good crisis go to waste, right? So much for libtard "empathy"!

The US has not tested more people than anyone else. Why do you people keep repeating that lie? Originally Posted by 1pittsburgh

Oh dear! While I was posting, the number of tests in the US just surpassed 540,000.

Now try to pretend that's good news. I know it's disappointing for you to watch the country work together under trumpy to defeat this scourge, but maybe you can force a smile, huh? Please try to stay out of the way while the adults get things done. If you have to nitpick and complain, do it under self-quarantine.

Trump: ignored the problem, went on TV and downplayed the problem repeatedly, called it a media hoax, has been pulling CDC resources out of china for the past two years, failed to run their own NSA playbook on pandemic response, and has ignored his actual experts. Originally Posted by tannana

Is this what you mean by ignoring his actual experts?

Well, I gave him the benefit of a doubt and googled "NSA pandemic plan". Looks like tannana gets his info from Buzzfeed. Yes, the NSA did put out a "playbook" ten years ago. It was aimed at protecting their own staff (not the American public) and contains common sense recommendations that every American is already following.

So how the fuck does that get distorted into the trump team "failed to run their own NSA playbook"? SMDH!

The 50-page document — obtained by BuzzFeed News last July following a six-year Freedom of Information Act battle — tracks closely with steps that have now been widely adopted by Americans facing the current coronavirus outbreak,

Well, T was telling everyone in the Stump on Indys that Trump inherited $250 million in 1974. According to his crack mathematic calculations, he could have just invested that money and became a billionaire. That he didn’t earn his money. The only problem with his thinking is Fred didn’t die until 1999. His net worth at THAT time was $250 million. Trump also has a brother and sister, I guess Fred shut them out.

He still believes he’s right.

Still waiting for 1pitts to admit he was wrong about the testing numbers. Maybe he'll do what tannana just did with that "hoax" lie. First, throw out the false talking point. Second, when confronted admit you lied. Third, retract your retraction!

That's called following the libtard playbook!

Lie, lie, flip flop flip!

Fair enough. Everything else I enumerated is true (And yeah, he called it a hoax.... Originally Posted by tannana

Listen all of you dumb motherfuckers, the media is driving this current so- called pandemic. The common flu is much more deadly. Don't believe me? Google it you ignorant fuck. The extreme left wing Democrats are doing all they can to grandstand and delay the stimulus package that the low income workers really need. And here's something to ponder... why isn't the stimulus amount given on a sliding scale based on income? Seems to me that the less you make the more help you'll need. Maybe that's just too much common for our elected officials to wrap their simple minds around. We need to all get a reality check and get back to work, school and living again. Any motherfucker that disagrees better have the evidence to back up their false claims.
Common sense

Coronavirus, they’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, “How’s President Trump doing?” They go, “Oh, not good, not good.” They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa. They can’t even count. No, they can’t. They can’t count their votes. Donald Trump: One of my people came up to me and said, “Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.” That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. They’d been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning. They lost. It’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax. Originally Posted by Trump
