    It's a virus. I don't expect him to be able to keep people alive. I expect him to help keep the population from going into full panic mode and make sure the nation stays intact.. That's it. I think he's done quite well at that.

    I am surprised they even have to write a story about it being Trumps fault. I thought everyone knew Trump was to blame for all the bad things ever.

    Monday morning quarterbacking is easy.

    We arent the only country struggling with this. But I bet we are one of the only ones with partisan extremists like you trying to score points on the back of a pandemic.

    Its disgusting.

    It's thanks to people like you that dictatorships can establish themselves in a country.

    People who accept with a smile the lies of their government.

    37,000 Americans have died in the last month from a virus that was supposed to be under control. It's was supposed to be safe, it will disapear like a miracle with the warm weather.

    All the BS Trump has thrown in the citizens' faces.

    In a week, the pandemic will have killed more Americans than the Vietnam War.

    And you'll still be there to defend Trump, as a consensual victim.

    That might be one of the truest leadership / management quotes of all time.

    Laura Ingrahm posed the same point to Dr. Fauci. Let's watch his reaction together.

    Here's the thing - The vast majority of the criticisms against Trump are being made because the statements and decisions that Trump made were objectively dumb and wrong/lies at the time he made them.

    I'm a libertarian and limited government advocate. I believe the strongest and best way to provide for the masses is to motivate people's inherent human nature to provide for themselves, ultimately benefiting their own family, community, and state. I think government is a necessary evil, but should be limited as to not remove people's motivation and desire to provide for themselves.

    Reading your previous posts, you advocate a strong central nanny state and government intervention.

    But I am the one that gives the power to government and my positions lead to dictatorships? You're just talking foolish.

    Like most big government supporters, they love the government up and to the point that government aligns with their ideology. When it doesnt, like now with Trump as president, they lose their ****. All along, I sit back with a smirk as people like you dont see that you're the ones that gave Trump the power you so hate.

    I dont defend Trump, I ridicule those who attempt to blame Trump.

    See, their everlasting love of government failed them. The same people who are throwing the biggest fit about this are the same ones who think government should intervene in all aspects of our life, even though the government shows us time and time again that they are not interested in the needs of the people.

    "I'm from the government and I am here to help" and all the FDR and General Welfare progressives go crazy with cheering and applause. Then the government does what they always do and **** **** up, and the same people scream OMG! Trump sucks.

    It has nothing to do with Trump.

    It has to do with people coming to the realization that in fact government DOES suck, against their failed ideologies, and they need a scape goat to continue their praise and dependence on government.

    So... government is our savior, except Trump isnt. Blah blah blah.

    Stop being so dependent on government and you wont continually need to find a scape goat when they fail you.

    Libertarians have been preaching in the desert for 100 years.

    Do you think Trump's libertarian enough for you?

    Almost all voters want at least a government that protects them from outside aggression.

    And a pandemic fits that definition perfectly.

    If you are unhappy in the US because the government is mobilizing resources to fight OCVID-19, maybe you can move somewhere else like Somalia.

    There's practically no state there and everyone is left to their own devices.

    No they were not, see Dr. Fauci minimizing the danger in late Feb., and Democratic objections (and China and the WHO) to for instance the China travel ban when it was done. Pelosi's response was to introduce a bill to stop Trump from being able to to travel bans, which was not only stupid of her but probably unconstitutional.

    Or... you could advocate in defense of the constitution? There are methods to change it if you dont like it. Just sitting around bitching isnt the format.

    And then immediately said that this virus is different and almost certainly is not going to disappear.

    Not one political Democrat condemned China for murdering 170,000 innocents and climbing!

    They are all politicizing it! They make me sick!

    The Flu Season kills people like that about every year.

    Why haven't you spoken up sooner? Like when oBozo was (so called) president?

    Did you criticize Trump for the flu season last year?

    No and it is ****ing terrible to continue comparing 42,000 dead in four weeks from the novel Covid-19 virus that took place WITH significant pandemic control measures in place to the seasonal flu that occurs every year.

    Why the **** would I?
    Flu's Kill lots of people every year. This Chinese flu seems to kill more elderly (The majority of deaths here in my state were from nursing home patients), and those with underlying conditions. We knew this from the very start. Why didn't we just demand that they be quarantined and even PAY for their quarantine instead of shutting down the whole nation and it's economy?
    That would be less deaths and way, way less damage to our country and it's economy.
