I find those anonymous cut/pasted paragraphs of partisan spin so... compelling!

Shame on Joe for thinking h1n1 could be more severe and thus recommending travel restrictions and avoiding confined spaces!   
Gee.  That was the reaction of Obama and his staff.
So they admonished Joe, played down the threat. 60 million Americans got sick   But luckily they Swine Flu caused only minimal deaths.

So, they wrote up what they learned. And they changed how they staffed it.

And Trump actively through away the manual (later claiming it was too out of date, which it wasn't - I posted it here. You ignored it, Ward.) And he fired the people Obama had put in place to watch for the next one.

Yep, all Biden's fault!
I understand your inability to process facts.
It’s been a bad day for you.
COVID cases and deaths DOWN
Stock Markets way UP
Feds Knock Big City Crime way DOWN

Pray for a cloudy day tomorrow and hope for the worst.

LOL!

They could have asked if Biden intends to subject himself to questioning on a serious Sunday talk show as Trump has done, in addition to his favored MSNBC programs. They could have asked exactly what authority would enable Biden legally to order every American to wear a mask, or is it merely virus virtue-signaling

It’s a cult.

Trump has led the nation in a slow motion Jonestown and he could still get away with shooting someone on 5th Ave.

Once again, a sitting president of the United States has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, but unlike last time, when President Barack Obama received the honor, current president Donald Trump has been nominated for an actual achievement, not just being popular in Europe and a nifty public speaker.

The Vice Presidential hopeful and the mainstream media have been gushing about Blake meanwhile omitting or burying his alleged criminal misconduct toward women.

Ignoring that this is Trump's second nomination.

And I did not mind that Obama was nominated.

I minded that he won. He should never have won.

Alleged?

Like Mr. Justice Kavanaugh?

Like President Trump?

Just think.

This is the first day of pages from Woodward.

Trust me. It gets no better from here.

My son in law was in Germany (US Army) when Obama visited during the campaign. He marveled at the size of the crowds and how he had never seen so many American flags in his time and that none of them was on fire.

You’re still underestimating what this country wasted.

The fact is, when Trump says he didn't want to create a "panic" he was talking about the markets and the shutdown measures because he saw them primarily as threats to his reelection.

Joe Biden and the dems are going to be reminded of their response to the Swine Flu out break.

In2009 as H1n1  looked like a big threat to the country Biden proclaimed:

Listen, we need to be aggressive early on this!

The next week, Biden made good on his pledge — and set off a deluge of criticism. In an interview on NBC’s “Today,” Biden said he wouldn’t advise his family to fly on planes or ride the subway.
“I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places right now," Biden said. "It’s not that it’s going to Mexico, it’s that you are in a confined aircraft. When one person sneezes, it goes everywhere through the aircraft.”
Airlines angrily accused Biden of fearmongering. Media reports noted that Biden’s pessimism contrasted sharply with the reassurances President Barack Obama had given a day earlier, when he said there was no need to panic even as he declared a national health emergency. In a matter of hours, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Deputy Secretary of State Jack Lew were summoned to the White House and assigned to clean up the mess Biden made: “Nip it in the bud,” LaHood said, recalling their instructions.
(Politico)

As it turned Obama/Biden avoided a disaster only because of luck
as recalled by former Biden chief of staff Ron Klain who said at Texas A&M in 2019:
We did every pos­si­ble thing wrong. Sixty mil­lion Amer­i­cans got H1N1 in that pe­riod of time, and it is just purely a for­tu­ity that this isn’t one of the great mass-ca­su­alty events in Amer­i­can his­tory. [It] had noth­ing to do with us do­ing any­thing right; just had to do with luck.
If any­one thinks that can’t happen again, they don’t have to go back to 1918. Just go back to 2009, 2010. Imag­ine a virus with a dif­fer­ent lethal-ity, and you can just do the math.”

LOL?  That actually proves that Biden was the voice of reason.  His voice was ignored and the US was lucky that H1N1 wasn't more lethal.

February 25 - Nancy Pelosi live on TV invites “ everyone” to visit Chinatown and deplores xenophobia.

I remember that. That was sheer stupidity and I thought so at the time.

The last time a US President was nominated for NPP was two years ago, by the same far right, anti-Islamic xenophobic Norwegian.

83 to 59 per cent.

What's that, you ask?

The comparison of Trump voters to Biden's when asked the question, "Are you voting FOR your guy or AGAINST the other?"

Just 59 per cent Biden voters are motivated by their candidate.

Wow.

Doesn't matter.  A vote is a vote.

Why do you suppose he didn’t?
