POLITICAL THREAD

[SophiesDad]

So Trump doesn't want to bring back manufacturing from China?

Bernie is done. Biden is gonna be the nominee and the Republicans are gonna get destroyed in November. Absolutely destroyed.

The government has downplayed this virus and delayed getting tests out because they don't want us to know how many cases there are out there. I can guarantee you there are tens of thousands of infected vs. 1500.

Don't act like Getz didn't parade a big gas mask in the chambers to mock the virus. Or that Fox News has been downplaying it for weeks.

Man, you guys are so far up Trump's ass that you will never admit he has completely fu#$*ed up this response. His address last night was a complete joke and just made the markets take a nose dive.

I have a feeling Trump has the virus. He's been just out there acting like it can't get him and he's now had several people who could have potentially given it to him. Talk about irony.

Ahh so Trump’s speech is what caused markets to take a nose dive. There’s nothing that he could’ve said last night that would have calmed the markets. Trump’s also getting blasted by liberal media for just stating where the virus originated from. Lmao

 

[Bill Derington]

His next sentence numbnuts

"and these prohibitions will not only apply to the tremendous amount of trade and cargo, but various other things as we get approval. Anything coming from Europe to the United States is what we are discussing. These restrictions will also not apply to the United Kingdom."

Hence why he immediately sent out tweets and Facebook posts and sent all his people to the new networks to try and fix the screw up as the markets crashed. He can't even read a speech from a prompter.

No one watching that speech as a citizen gave two shits about what you’re concerned about, seriously. Trade and cargo has next to nothing to do with the disease. I really can’t even fathom why the left is concerned with that line. We’re talking about protecting the populace, that line was for the market.

Most of the NCAA players are pretty young. I feel like we could condense the tournament and get it knocked out in a few days before everyone gets sick.

Good to know where your priorities lay.

So what if tomorrow they announce a UK player has tested positive? The entire team is now exposed and forced to quarantine. How do you go forward?

 

[Ed323232]

He really is a retard. If you look in the dictionary under retard his picture is available there. RQ the retard...

Yeah but he’s holding a picture of trump

The market disagrees with you.

Also all the public health experts have said his actions will do nothing to help the public. They do further crush airline and other travel related stocks.

The market hasn’t collapsed because of Trump saying that, it’s collapsed because of public reactions and oil dropping 30% all at the same time.
I just listened to Dr Fauci day exactly why they cancelled the travel from Europe and why it was recommended.
This is uncharted territory, the time to judge whether the actions worked is afterwards, not right in the middle.
My personal opinion is this entire situation is overblown and there is little to nothing the govt can do to prevent an outbreak in today’s world.

Agreed. The current situation reminds me of that classic line from Full Metal Jacket: "It's a big sh!t sandwich , and we're all going to have to take a bite"

We can finger point and bitch all we want but it won't stop people from getting sick.

Do like you and cry like a biotch...

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Democrats oppose travel ban.

 

[UKBrassowTipIN]

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Democrats oppose travel ban.

So the House Democrats have come out with a bill to "ban" the President from calling for a "Travel Ban". And people say this "illness" is not political.

Coronavirus taking out tRump? Dang, I lost the death pool. I had my money on myocardial infarction from all the hamberders.

[Brandan Stroud]

Did copkilla or whichever sock account he's using now say Biden will destroy Trump? This thread has jumped the shark

 

[warrior-cat]

Yall lie about everything. The Obama administration declared a national emergency in April before it was a pandemic and before there were any deaths in America. He declared a 2nd national emergency in October to temporarily waive Medicare Medicaid and health insurance requirements.

False, you attention whore. Go back to rafters

 

[warrior-cat]

Bill, keyser needs this. He needs this to validate his TDS

He/she is an attention whore who needs the money. Rafters must have busted his ass and now he needs validation as a human.

 

[warrior-cat]

The last week of February:
Trump not only hasn’t personally involved himself in the details of coronavirus response (apparently too busy pardoning former Celebrity Apprentice guests), he also hasn’t designated anyone to be in charge.
--Matthew Iglesias

False

 

[warrior-cat]

Orange man trash, orange man blind sheep trasj, liars ttash, Obama... whatever but I have never called him the best.

I would discus policy but you sheep dont care about policy. Politics are just team sports for yall.

False, you come here to argue with false information and partisan lies which you usually lead with.

What a crock. This woman and the Democrat party want another $1 billion for abortion in a package this is intended to fight a pandemic and save lives.

Truth. The Democrat party has zero value for human life. Everything becomes politics and a power grab for them

 

[trueblujr2]

Clearly racist.

Maybe don't get your info from vox.

Hmmm, which country has the lowest number of cases per million? Basically one in every 247,000 people have been diagnosed so far in the US. Yet it's mass panic and hysteria, cancel everything, buy up all the toilet paper, hole up in your disinfected house in the fetal position, so you don't die.

What a sad commentary on the people of America. But right on point.

Kansas is out too

Guy on the Rogan podcast said to prepare for over 90 million cases and 450k deaths over the next 3-7 months. Gonna be a long summer.

Anybody who needs a test can get a test. What a weird thing for Trump to lie about.

False.

Worldwide or US? That seems awfully high

OK, this would be a good time to cancel the Presidential election. We have a mass crisis in America and no one has voting on their mind. Shut down the election and when things calm down we can have a vote. Say 2030

How much do you want to bet those statistics will be the same two weeks from now (1 out of every 247K). Let's think through this. Testing kits are just now starting to roll out. What happens when many people begin to get tested because they are showing symptoms? Name your dollar amount. I agree it there is a lot of panic, but the US is just getting started with this. It won't remain at 1 out of 247K

Sorry bro. November is coming.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

Trump put a travel ban on China back in December before anyone ever heard of this. What more is one supposed to do? Can't ban all travel because that's opposed. He took flak for doing what he did.

Everyone will be exposed regardless of what we do. That's why the panic was key to avoid, but politics had the Dems ramping that up high time.

What we should do is drop about 20 nukes on China for this nonsense. It's almost a certainty they created this virus, for one reason or another. Who knows what they'll create next.

I saw that too and there's absolutely no way he's right. That's like a .0001% chance it's that bad. And it's very irresponsible for him to give doomsday scenarios as if they're likely
