Fuck you, Trump, and fuck you, GOP, and a fuck you to anyone who votes for or has voted for these treasonous bastards.


GAME ON.

Thousands of people dying as the result of an enabled narcissist is not a GAME, you pathetic clown.

Elections are games - played to a decided finish

Shame this year that will not be on Election Night

The shame of your mother bringing you into this world will never end.

Nice attempt at pivoting away from reality, once again.

Must be an inherited trait.

You deny Trump's idiocy and soulless nature exists, as well as your family must spend their days denying their relationship to you.

it's unbelievable that Trump not only did little to nothing to combat the Virus, but actually actively thwarted state efforts to protect their citizens. 


No. It's not unbelievable. It's totally believable. It's who Trump is. It's who the GOP is.

Elections have real life and death consequences.

As in 200K dead form totally mishandling the Virus.
Or getting health insurance to 25M Americans.
Or yanking health insurance away form 25M Americans.

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.

I don't disagree, but it does raise the question of what Pelosi knew.  Did she know that COVID was five times deadlier than the flu and could be transmitted through air?  Did the Mayor of New York City know this when he was telling people to keep going to bars and using the subway?

No.  Of course they didn't.  So why didn't they when the "president" and Bob Woodward knew?

What was Trump telling US Governors about the virus while boasting to a guy writing his biography about how dangerous it is?
LOL!

That isn't an answer to the question REDSTATEWARD.  Don't you think its a fair one to ask?

Either Trump was telling US Governors the same thing he was telling Woodward in February in which case they are all equally culpable for taking little to no actions, or Trump was keeping them in the dark about what the Federal Government knew about the COVID threat in addition to lying to the American public about it.

Your argument is that Trump's goal was to "handle the virus" while not panicking the public. A self-evidently stupid argument, for sure, but how does he "handle the virus" while not warning Governors about what is coming?

I'm not sure it can be described as a "bias" when all available on-the-record evidence points to it being true.

So, no counterarguments, as usual.

Sorry, kid.

When you said, "Game on", you probably didn't think the game would be over so soon.

But you came to the game without your bat and glove, and no skills, too.

Maybe you should run along and visit the clinic again and get them to up your meds.

Yes.  Governors knew the flu was airborn and could be much deadlier than the common flu.  Trump didn't have information that only he could obtain.  He can be a magician, but not with having Trump-only info.

Not could be deadlier.  Was.  Trump said specifically that it was 5x.  And yes, Trump had info only he could obtain.  He was elected to be President of the United States, and although he has not fulfilled the duties the job description requires, it does make him privy to info that others don't have.

So your contention is that all 50 Governors had this info, every one, and all 50 did nothing for almost two months?  That is what you think happened?

Democrats were bit - and continue to be this election - when they created soundbites driven by their hatred of this president.  When Trump zigged, they zagged - thus denying severity of the virus in public settings/speeches - at what turned out to be inappropriate times.

When Trump stopped the planes from Asia, what did Dems then need to do?


How about Europe?

CRITICIZE and hope for negative fallout they could then spin to advantage.

Was that in English?  I can recognize English words in there, and yet when put together into sentences they don't mean anything.

Not to be picky about language,  but isn't an "anti-Trump administration" any Democratic administration that follows this one?   Technically, the Trump administration was the anti-Obama administration.   Which it was,  bigly.

Speaking of pitfalls of wording,  I had an LoL at...

   Sen. Bill Cassidy replied “I can’t comment on someone else’s opinion" 

Since he's a Senator,  and a large component of politics is commenting on someone else's opinion, that's a really amusing dodge.
