    Trump called the dems and the media's concerns about the virus a hoax... Trump claimed he had it under control at 15 cases and put up the "mission accomplished" flag

    Trump lied, people died

    Corona, or any virus, is no respecter of persons. Corona's purpose is to kill as many as it can, regardless of outward appearance, even all mankind. If you're human, you are fully qualified to die from corona.

    I don’t care about which deity Obama worshiped — couldn’t care less in fact. Strange that he went to Christian churches more than trump ever has, if you want to try and paint one as a Muslim and one as a Christian however. As for him misspeaking on the topic of his wife, do you really want to go there vs what trump has said and done? He literally paid off a prostitute while he was married...

    Libs are only concerned with race. It’s what they live for. And it’s fun to poke fun at it.

    All I’m saying is if we are going to take every word, misspoken or out of context, then let’s go all in.

    I’m pre-diabetic. The virus is brutal on pre-diabetics. Do I get reparations, too?

    Except it wasn’t misspoken or taken out of context. It is literally what he said. I quoted his entire statement.

    First, reparations are typically compensation for people that have been wronged — not people that have made poor life decisions in their health. Second, I disagree with reparations as a general principle especially when it isn’t the individual that was wronged.

    Short answer: No

    Clearly he was saying the hoax is the left’s next attack on him and guess what happened next? You ever hear of a guy named Schiff?

    So the response that democrats were demanding was the hoax — that we, as a nation, needed to be prepared and doing something to prevent it’s spread — not the virus itself? Is that really your argument?

    We’ve covered this here and in many other threads. As a famous criminal and enemy of America once said, what difference does it make?

    Ah deflection to Hillary, I guess the discussion has devolved into that.

    Mental gymnastics are a poor substitute for independent thought.

    Funny how you knew who a famous criminal and enemy of the US was.

    The other thing I’ve said prior to that is we’ve covered this before.

    Why is it “funny”, that quote is only attributable to her — and now you.

    Trump called the virus the Democrats new hoax. There. Fixed it for you.

    And BTW, China murdered 64,000 people with their own virus. Not Trump.

    Try to be a little more accurate with your BS rhetoric.

    It depends on the use, do you feel reparations made to Japanese-Americans interned during World War II was a stupid idea by idiotic people? How about reparations from Germany to Jews? Also a stupid idea proposed by idiotic people?

    If you can identify who actually enacted the policy, make them pay. But I was born long after WW II and I had nothing to do with Japanese internment or the Holocaust. I should not have to pay a penny.

    It's not the virus that's racist. It's the Democrat party. They are the ones that created slums and ghettos where these low income areas are located and now they work at keeping those folks in those slums and ghettos by keeping them on the govt teet and always reinforce the idea that they can't do any better so they have to vote Democrat because they can't do any better on their own. They promise them the moon and still haven't fixed the problem that they created in the inner cities.
