    Oh gee, I wasn't aware that liberals aren't capitalist. Must be because in spite of all their bluster they like everyone else enjoy the lifestyle capitalism provides. Ever go to a protest and watch who drives away in their BMWs and Audis when it's over?

    Democrats are the elites and the burger flippers.

    Republicans are the middle class and upper-middle class.

    It is not surprising that liberals and D's will complain about everything Trump does. It is as abundantly clear as the sun rises in the morning that Trump can do no right in their eyes given that he has an R in front of his name.

    However, it does not necessarily follow that "thousands of Americans would be infected" were a D in the WH, given that currently there are only 2 countries in the world right now where thousands are infected (China and South Korea). That number will obviously change in the near future. Given the amount of international travel and long incubation period, I find it unlikely we will not see it spread in the coming weeks in the US. However, the future is uncertain - just as whatever a given D presidency would have done under the same circumstances is uncertain.

    The odds of getting the Corona virus in the USA at present is about 1 in 5.2 million. The odds of dying from it at present is zero out 330 million. Better odds than living in Chicago.

    The premature travel ban, at great loss to businesses, would not have even been necessary at that moment if we had competent people in the Trump administration. And leaders that actually knew how to handle a crisis. But we don't!

    A travel ban and quarantining people coming out of an infected area is the most effective way to stop the spread of the virus. That is most likely why we have so few cases in the US.

    The knee-jerk White House Trumpbot Response Operation is now fully deployed!

    [​IMG]

    Fake Don's trying to take exclusive personal credit for the unprecedented 10+ year expansion of the economy has been exposed!

    A diverse multiplicity of factors contributes to economic ups and downs, of course, and the coronavirus pandemic underscores that ineluctable reality.

    Having masqueraded as the dominant majordomo serving up global prosperity, Fake Don's pantaloons conspicuously descending to his ankles during the piece de resistance has him shuffling about in a state of abashed dishabille.

    It's no wonder he is sniveling and bleating, and lashing out irrationally. Blame somebody! Anybody!

    Joe Biden bought his kid a chemistry set, and he won an honorable mention for developing the coronavirus as a sixth-grade science project!


    Befuddled Fake Don's faith-based response to the crisis?

    Having failed at impeachment, Democrats breathlessly hoped for millions of Americans to die after contracting coronavirus. Failing that, Democrats sent Rosenstein's sister out from her cave at the CDC daily to spook the markets. The question of how much protective gear should sit rotting in inventory awaiting a pandemic that may never come is one for the geniuses who fought to fly infections in from China en masse, support open borders to attract infections to walk in, and promote squalor among homeless in their streets, incubating diseases that Republicans defeated decades ago.

    Yep. Not PC to protect our people from foreign born diseases. Seems Trump was right about the risk of putting all of our manufacturing jobs in a ChiCom basket. He waved his magic wand and they started coming back. Doing business in areas where half the people interact with the rest of the world and the other half eat bugs for dinner is risky.

    Does anyone actually swallow lies such as this? What sort of hyper-partisan fanaticism causes such derangement?

    Fake Don is hysterical about how the pandemic could impact Fake Don, and is lashing out and raving about yet another "hoax!" - in the tradition of millions of invisible people costing him a popular vote victory.

    Sad.
    At least he has not yet outsourced his tantrump and pressured Ukraine to expose it as yet another Chinese hoax calculated to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.

    Not yet.

    Oh yeah.... I heard Rush the other day promoting the new conspiracy theory. That the Corona virus is a world-wide conspiracy created by Democrats to get at Trump. It makes sense in the minds of Trump loyalists because they know that confronting Trump with any crisis will expose how lousy he is at managing crisis.

    The only thing that "spooks" the markets is lack of information. And knowing that the guy in charge is a pathological liar means that they can't believe anything he says.... Even if he were telling the truth. Which is an extremely rare occurrence.

    Rush never said that. I have access to all his transcripts. He did say that Democrats have been cheering the Coronavirus as their path to the White House. Like
    JAKE TAPPER: That could affect his re-election chances.
    RUSH: Why couldn’t the coronavirus get Donald Trump reelected? What if the United States comes up with a dramatically great policy to deal with it — and the number of cases in the United States dwindles, goes down, or does not expand like the cases around the world? Then why wouldn’t that be beneficial to Trump? Notice: Here we are in February, and they’ve already got this virus ruining the economy by November, in time to take out Trump. This is proof they’ve got nothing. They know they can’t beat the guy.
    Rosenstein's sister has come out and stirred up the market every time it appeared to be calming ,,, until Friday. Wonder if she celebrates good Friday. She wasn't on the air and the markets calmed.

    I wonder what he did hear, if anything, and from whom? Most likely a second hand source of questionable reliability.

    You seem incapable of ever grasping why a majority of Americans, consistently and relentlessly, in survey after survey after survey, have registered their awareness that Fake Don stinks.

    Cry Baby Don is very, very verklempt, and lashing out hysterically as of late. He appears impotent when it comes to taking responsibility for confronting the crisis that exposed his phony pretense to control of the economy.

    I don't sit around and answer surveys, so I have little in common with the 400 lb snowflakes who spend their pathetic lives in Mommy and Daddy's basement venting their anger over the prospect of one day having to find a job. I think of Bernie, managing to find his first job at age 40 and wonder if I really give a crap what his opinion is. I don't wonder for long.
