    They say that they are "extremely concerned" about the reaction of the administration to the virus but they are not at all worried about about sealing our borders. It's all lies. They don't give a **** about the virus anymore than they give a **** about the borders. They just want to fabricate another reason to bitch about "orange man bad". people die and are raped by illegal immigrants all the time but the left totally ignores those situations. They misrepresent what Trump meant in his interview by leaving out most of the statement. Their motto seems to be, "Why tell the truth when a good lie will do."

    Trump's proposed cuts aren't what the lying Democrats talked about, they claimed there were actual cuts, which is a lie. Why else would the AP criticize the Democrats claims?

    There is also a huge difference between proposed cuts and the left's false accusations that Trump "gutted" the CDC, "wiped out" the NIH's funding, "defunded" the CDC, or that somehow because of Trump there is "nobody [at the CDC] to figure out what the hell we should be doing".

    It is all lies and fearmongering. I'm surprised any lefties are trying to defend it, but damn if they aren't! Integrity and honesty be damned when there's a leftie agenda to be pushed.....

    To be honest, many American's don't believe anything that comes out of the White House or Washington, DC these days.

    it's the difference between attempted murder (really bad) and murder (really really bad). The story here isn't that some politician told a lie. The story is the President wanted to cut CDC funding and the Dems stopped him. How on Earth do any of you think wanting to cut the CDC looks GOOD right now. It looks TERRIBLE.

    Believe me, you'll see campaign ads about this before too long.

    When did Trump supporters suddenly start caring about the truth?

    Seriously.

    Which truth? That Trump is responsible for the virus like certain Dem leaders have eluded to? Didn’t he already start WWIII? Or maybe it was when he took away the rights of minorities or gay people? Still waiting on that. Or maybe he’s racist for calling murderous gangs murderers, because they you know, murder people? I just can’t keep track of which lie the MSM and Democrats want me to believe? Maybe he’s still working for Russia? Are you still afraid to let your daughters go out in public like a few Dem leaders told us back in 2016? Fear of getting raped by Trump supporters? Oh never mind!!! The violence was coming from ANTIFA and Bernie supporters actually. Silly me;)

    Always. It's sort of why he is President and the Obama legacy got kicked to the curb.

    Start paying attention

    There is more than one way to cripple an agency.
    You could for example fire the leaders or defund certain programs.

    I always care about the truth. Lies on both sides bother me.
    That’s why I find it hypocritical for Trump supporters to pretend to care about the truth: because they ignore his thousands of lies, false and misleading statements. He literally says whatever he thinks sounds good with absolutely no regard for objective facts.

    Too bad the team wasn't in place, they probably could have prevented the outbreak in China.

    They better hope there isn't a pandemic.

    Few progressives would survive a 2 day power outage.

    Remember the crying screaming liberals on YT election night in 2016 with their concentration camps for gays? What freaking little scared children the left are. Too much nanny state in their blood!

    they’d simply blame trump for the virus that started in socialist China, then vote for a socialist for president.

    What does he have to do with this? I thought he was still chancing hoax impeachments and leaking parody to the press?
