There's truth in the saying that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Howie, it appears that you'd prefer to die of thirst rather than admit you're wrong, especially when you continue to believe a lie that's been disproved.

Just out of idle curiosity, what's your contingency plan when Trump is re-elected, the GOP increases it's Senate stronghold, and flips the House? This was just posted today from and ABC affiliate: Trump approval rating as high as it's ever been

The president is showing true leadership in responding to the coronavirus.

FFS. First you complain that he's not doing enough, then you complain that his doing something had negative consequences. Exactly what did you think would happen when non essential business are asked to close and people are advised to stay home? Honestly, who ties your shoes for you, or are they Velcro?

It's been 10 weeks (2mos + 2wks.) since the first U.S. COVID-19 patient landed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Jan. 15. As of today, per the CDC here in the US we've tragically lost 994 people to COVID-19. Under your golden boy Obama, the US death rate due to H1N1 averaged over a 1,000 victims per month. That's a rate that's two and a half times higher, but you think Trump's incompetent? Guess we know who the real moron is.

Trump team failed to follow NSC’s pandemic playbook

The 69-page document, finished in 2016, provided a step by step list of priorities – which were then ignored by the administration.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/2 ... cil-149285

"The Trump administration, state officials and even individual hospital workers are now racing against each other to get the necessary masks, gloves and other safety equipment to fight coronavirus — a scramble that hospitals and doctors say has come too late and left them at risk. But according to a previously unrevealed White House playbook, the government should’ve begun a federal-wide effort to procure that personal protective equipment at least two months ago.

“Is there sufficient personal protective equipment for healthcare workers who are providing medical care?” the playbook instructs its readers, as one early decision that officials should address when facing a potential pandemic. “If YES: What are the triggers to signal exhaustion of supplies? Are additional supplies available? If NO: Should the Strategic National Stockpile release PPE to states?”

Tillerson, Who Privately Called Trump ‘Moron,’ Pretty Much Confirms It in Public

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/12 ... firms.html

"Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reportedly m=top”>conspicuously declined multiple opportunities to deny having said this. In an interview with Bob Schieffer, Tillerson, who has since left the administration, was asked to characterize his former boss. He put it a little more delicately:

“It was challenging for me,” he said, “coming from the disciplined, highly process-oriented Exxon Mobil corporation, to go to work for a man who is pretty undisciplined, doesn’t like to read, doesn’t read briefing reports, doesn’t like to get into the details of a lot of things, but rather just kind of says, ‘This is what I believe.’ ”

So basically, a f*** moron. Trump fought back in characteristic style, insisting that Tillerson is the dummy."

I guess it is very hard for you as well as other Trump supporters to admit that Trump is a f ing moron.

You should go to a crowded church on Easter Sunday and breathe deeply

Trump has been so focused on undoing everything Obama did his failure to act in a timely manner to address this pandemic may very well prove to be his undoing and his failure to win reelection.

Perhaps on November 4th it will be Obama, Hillary, and millions of others chanting
LOCK HIM UP.

It was only a short time ago that Trump was telling Americans that this would all go away when there were 15 infected people and he refused to allow infected passengers to get off a cruise ship because they would increase the number of infected people.
What a piece of shyt of a president.

"The United States now has the most detected cases in the world. States are pleading for supplies as cases spike outside of New York City. And health workers, short on protective gear, face growing dangers the world over.

Right Now

President Trump lashed out at Representative Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, who has threatened to delay passage of the stimulus bill, calling him a “third rate Grandstander” who should be thrown out of the Republican Party."

Trumps failure to provide leadership is causing the markets to fall again

Incompetent Trump

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/28/us/t ... e=Homepage

"But faced with the coronavirus, Mr. Trump chose not to have the White House lead the planning until nearly two months after it began. Mr. Obama’s global health office had been disbanded a year earlier. And until Mr. Pence took charge, the task force lacked a single White House official with the power to compel action."

"Mr. Trump, who has lurched from one public message to another in the weeks since the coronavirus crisis began to consume the United States, said he could announce such a move later Saturday, signaling that he had not reached a final decision about a short-term order."

Trump refuses to order a nationwide lockdown making matters much worse.
Trump has refused to have the federal government take full control of the supply chain for all needed hospital equipment.

Liberty University Brings Back Its Students, and Coronavirus Fears, Too

The decision by the school’s president, Jerry Falwell Jr., to partly reopen his evangelical university enraged residents of Lynchburg, Va. Then students started getting sick.

"So Mr. Falwell — a staunch ally of President Trump and an influential voice in the evangelical world — reopened the university last week, igniting a firestorm. As of Friday, Dr. Eppes said, nearly a dozen Liberty students were sick with symptoms that suggested Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus. Three were referred to local hospital centers for testing. An additional eight were told to self-isolate."

Trump Suggests Lack of Testing Is No Longer a Problem. Governors Disagree.
The president said on a conference call that he had not “heard about testing in weeks.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/30/u...gtype=Homepage

"March 30, 2020 WASHINGTON — President Trump told governors on a conference call on Monday that he had not “heard about testing in weeks,” suggesting that a chronic lack of kits to screen people for the coronavirus was no longer a problem.

But governors painted a different picture on the ground.

Gov. Steve Bullock of Montana, a Democrat, said that officials in his state were trying to do “contact tracing” — tracking down people who have come into contact with those who have tested positive — but that they were struggling because “we don’t have adequate tests,” according to an audio recording of the conversation obtained by The New York Times.

“Literally we are one day away, if we don’t get test kits from the C.D.C., that we wouldn’t be able to do testing in Montana,” Mr. Bullock said."

This is your reminder that the Swine Flu infected 60 million Americans.

It resulted in 12,469 American deaths.

Does anyone remember Obama himself holding daily briefings to keep us informed? And if he did I’m sure the media wouldn’t refuse to air them, right? Come to think of it, did the Obama administration issue travel restriction to prevent the spread of H1N1? I don't remember his administration recommending safe social distancing, self-quarantining or requiring non-essential businesses to close. Maybe if he had, the death rate wouldn't have been as high as it was.

You know Howie, by your standards that makes Obama a huge incompetent failure, and grossly if not possibly criminally negligent.

What was the Left's reaction to president Trump's travel restrictions in January? Biden called Trump’s Chinese coronavirus travel ban ‘Xenophobia’, as did others in the Democratic party. It wasn't until March that the Left tried to play armchair quarterback by claiming the restrictions had little to no effect. Why the nearly two month long delay in making this assessment, and why throw out the race card at all if that were truly the case? Leftists are not serious people to rely on for info or opinions in a crisis.

Go reopen the locked Obama thread and put your comments there.
Obama had a Pandemic Response Team that Trump fired that was well qualified and many of those former members appear almost daily on CNN and MSNBC providing details that Trump ignores and how this pandemic has become the biggest federal governmental clusterfvck in our history.

From one a$$hole to another

"“I’m in contact” with the White House coronavirus task force, he said at a news conference, “and I’ve said, ‘Are you recommending this?’ The task force has not recommended that to me,” he added. “If any of those task force folks tell me that we should do X, Y or Z, of course, we’re going to consider it.”

For this, he won praise from President Trump who called him “a great governor who knows exactly what he’s doing.”

Wow, you're willing to give your golden boy a free pass on those deaths because what, it happened ten years ago? That's just sick. Please, get help.

You do know that the H1N1 virus wasn't limited to just one year, right? The CDC estimates that from 2009 to 2018 the H1N1 virus was responsible for 75k deaths. But I guess the only ones that matter to you are those that happened during the current administration.

What does that have to do with the present pandemic and the irresponsibility of Trump and his administration?

President Obama surrounded himself with experts.
Trump is surrounded by sycophants that come before a microphone to offer praise to the shyty job he is doing.


Alarm, Denial, Blame: The Pro-Trump Media’s Coronavirus Distortion

Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and other right-wing commentators turned a pandemic into a battle of us vs. them — the kind of battle President Trump has waged for much of his life.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/01/us/p ... e=Homepage

"And in his interview with the president last week, Mr. Hannity cast blame on President Barack Obama for the deaths during the swine flu outbreak of 2009, saying Mr. Trump had been “very gracious” by not focusing on his predecessor’s failings, which he accused the news media of ignoring.

Stoking a sense of victimization, according to the president’s critics, is what has always worked for him.

“It’s a hoax, it’s a Democratic plot — that’s the degree to which Trump and Trumpism is fueled by grievance and a sense of constantly having to fight for survival,” said Steve Schmidt, the Republican strategist who advised John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign and is now a consultant for an anti-Trump group and an analyst for NBC News.

But treating a pandemic as politics as usual, Mr. Schmidt added, could have an extraordinary cost. “All the bombast and the delusional statements and the embrace of ignorance,” he said, “stand singularly alone at the top of a previously unreachable pyramid.”

There can be little doubt that many of the president’s supporters did not consider it bombast or delusion."

Impeachment ended on February 5th

Is it any wonder that this country is in the shape it is in?

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump ... ronavirus/

"Trump was officially impeached on Dec. 19, 2019. It’s not clear exactly when Trump was first alerted about the possibility of a pandemic. The Washington Post reported that U.S. Intelligence officials were warning the president about the potential scale of the coronavirus outbreak as early as January. While we don’t know a specific date, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued its first alert for U.S. clinicians to be “on the look-out for patients with respiratory symptoms and a history of travel to Wuhan, China” on Jan. 8, 2020.

About a month after that on Feb. 5, Trump’s impeachment trial ended when the Senate voted not to convict. "

Before, during, and after the impeachment trial — and after the CDC issued its first warnings — Trump held political rallies and attended several golf outings.

As stated in the above-displayed tweet, Trump visited a golf course on Jan. 18 and 19, Feb. 1 and 15, and March 7 and 8. All of these golf outings took place at Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Trump also hosted rallies on Jan. 9 (Ohio), 14 (Wisconsin), 28 (New Jersey) 30 (Iowa), and on Feb. 10 (New Hampshire), 19 (Arizona), 20 (Colorado), 21 (Nevada), and 28 (South Carolina).

At his rally in South Carolina on Feb. 28, Trump spoke to the audience about the new coronavirus, accusing Democrats of “politicizing” the virus and claiming the U.S. was “totally prepared.”

Trump should resign!

It's called multi-tasking. Look it up.

Tell me, do you have any idea what the CDC does? Is the CDC completely bereft of pandemic response abilities? In other words, was the NSC unit the entirety of the US Govt response capability? Obviously the answer is NO. It's naïve to think the effort to monitor and plan, 'what if' scenarios and contingency plans for our defense and health crises were no longer being conducted.

Redundancy is the bane of the government bureaucracy. It was proper to eliminate redundancy when another agency or plan has duplicated that agency's responsibility. In 2018 President Trump established a National Biodefense Strategy specifically to improve the speed of action for any biological risk to U.S. Citizens.

Four days before that rally in SC, Nancy Pelosi visited SF Chinatown encouraging others to join her there.
On March 02, Bill De Blasio encouraged New Yorkers to go see Broadway shows.
Kinda sounds like they were on the same page as President Trump at that time.

Howie, you are a lost cause. Sadly, I don't think you'll ever wake up.

Upset Victory in Wisconsin Supreme Court Race Gives Democrats a Lift

A liberal challenger’s surprise triumph over a Trump-backed incumbent demonstrated strong turnout and vote-by-mail efforts for the Democrats in a key general election state.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/13/us/p ... sults.html

"Democrats scored a significant victory in Wisconsin on Monday night when a liberal challenger upset a Trump-backed incumbent to win a State Supreme Court seat, a down-ballot race that illustrated strong turnout and vote-by-mail efforts in a presidential battleground state.

The victory, by upward of 120,000 votes as of Monday night, came as a shock to Republicans and Democrats alike in Wisconsin, where the most recent contests for president, governor and the state’s high court have each been decided by about 30,000 votes or less. It followed weeks of Democratic anger over Republicans’ insistence on holding elections amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Wisconsin’s map on Monday night looked like a dream general election result for former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., the presumptive Democratic nominee — stronger than typical for Democrats in the suburbs and a respectable showing among the state’s blue-collar white voters in rural counties. But officials from both parties cautioned against overinterpreting the Supreme Court results, given the bizarre circumstances surrounding the high court race.

The challenger for the court seat, Jill Karofsky, ousted the conservative incumbent, Justice Daniel Kelly, in a contest with broad potential implications for voting rights in Wisconsin’s November general election. Justice Kelly became just the second incumbent State Supreme Court justice to be ousted at the polls since 1967. President Trump had boasted that his endorsement of Justice Kelly had unnerved Democrats in the state."

Republicans pissed off many Wisconsin voters by forcing them to show up at the polls and they did and they voted accordingly.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/202 ... e=Homepage

"As some governors consider easing social distancing restrictions, new estimates by researchers at Harvard University suggest that the United States cannot safely reopen unless it conducts more than three times the number of coronavirus tests it is currently administering over the next month."

Trump's daily news conferences are nothing more than a shyt show full of lies and inaccuracies.
Trump promised the 15 cases in late February would soon go away. A big lie
Trump promised everyone that wanted a test could get one
That was a lie then and is still a lie
Coronavirus Cases:
710,272
Deaths:
37,175

Thanks Trump for your lies, incompetence and your bull shyt

How does it feel to be the worst United States President in our history?

You are supposed to be a commander in chief but all you do is refuse responsibility for everything and attempt to blame others for your continuing failures

Update!
26 million unemployed
Current Corona Virus cases in the United States 852253
Current number of Corona Virus Deaths in the United States 43587

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/202 ... cases.html

" More than 43,000 people with the coronavirus have now died in the United States, according to a New York Times database, a figure that is frequently increasing by more than 2,000 per day.

Those numbers do not include more than 5,000 people in New York City who died and are believed to have had the coronavirus. Many of those patients died without being tested, a consequence of a strained medical system and a persistent lack of testing capacity."

The outbreak in this country, which now has the highest number of known cases in the world, has exploded over the last two months. At the start of March, with extremely limited testing available, only 70 cases had been reported in the United States, most of them tied to overseas travel. Over the last two weeks, well over 1,000 deaths have been announced each day. Wednesday was the country’s deadliest day yet, with more than 2,500 deaths announced.

Perhaps Trump will attack more reporters that ask him questions later today at his daily shyt show after he brags what an incredible job he is doing?

Trump promised this would all go away in April as the weather warmed up

Known global deaths surpass 200,000. The U.S. figure will pass 50,000. But the real toll is a mystery.

260,000 Words, Full of Self-Praise, From Trump on the Virus
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/202 ... e=Homepage

"The New York Times analyzed every word Mr. Trump spoke at his White House briefings and other presidential remarks on the virus — more than 260,000 words — from March 9, when the outbreak began leading to widespread disruptions in daily life, through mid-April. The transcripts show striking patterns and repetitions in the messages he has conveyed, revealing a display of presidential hubris and self-pity unlike anything historians say they have seen before.

By far the most recurring utterances from Mr. Trump in the briefings are self-congratulations, roughly 600 of them, which are often predicated on exaggerations and falsehoods. He does credit others (more than 360 times) for their work, but he also blames others (more than 110 times) for inadequacies in the state and federal response.

Mr. Trump’s attempts to display empathy or appeal to national unity (about 160 instances) amount to only a quarter of the number of times he complimented himself or a top member of his team.

Here is what a week of the analysis looks like:
Excerpts From a Week of Briefings
“But the authority of the President of the United States, having to do with the subject we’re talking about, is total.”

Exaggerations and falsehoods

“This is a horrible thing that happened to our country. This is a horrible thing that happened to 184 countries all over the world. This is a horrible thing, and there was no reason for it. It should never, ever happen again.”

“But, you know, sort of — I’ve been brutalized for the last four years. I used to do well before I decided to run for politics. But I guess I’m doing okay because, to the best of my knowledge, I’m the president of the United States, despite the things that are said.”

Displays empathy or appeals to unity

“I watched the governor of Arkansas, Asa. You saw that. He — I thought he was terrific. I watched the governor of Oklahoma over the weekend being interviewed. He was terrific.”

Self-congratulations

Credits others

“You know, they’re supposed to buy their own stockpile. They have state stockpiles. They’re supposed to be using that. And unfortunately, most of the states weren’t there. And a lot of people didn’t want to talk about it, but they weren’t there.”

Blaming others

The Times analyzed 42 press briefing transcripts and other remarks by Mr. Trump on the virus from March 9 to April 17, using transcripts from whitehouse.gov. Links are provided to the transcripts in the sections of quotes below. The visualization above shows only portions of briefings when Mr. Trump is speaking.Mr. Trump has mentioned his immediate predecessor, President Barack Obama, roughly 10 times, sometimes in response to a question. And he has referred to previous administrations about 30 times, often accusing them of leaving him with faulty conditions. Mr. Trump has
mentioned governors, individually or as a group, about 400 times, alternating between compliments and criticism.

"NYC; Of 6,570 confirmed COVID-19 deaths fully investigated for underlying conditions to date, 6,520, or 99.2 percent, had an underlying illness. 2/3 where over 70 years old..."

Which deaths count toward the covid-19 death toll? It depends on the state.
In Alabama, officials have ruled that one of every 10 people who died with covid-19 did not die of covid-19. Among those excluded from the numbers reported to the federal government were a bedbound patient with aspiration pneumonia in one lung and a person with a buildup of fluid and partial collapse of one lung.

COVID-19 death certificate change stirs controversy
Now, if someone died from pneumonia, respiratory distress or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and had exhibited coronavirus symptoms, their certificate will list COVID-19 as a presumed contributing factor, what’s known as comorbidity. While some people and public health experts say it will provide a fuller picture of how lethal the disease is, others call it irresponsible and contend it will artificially inflate numbers.

"Beaumont Health temporarily laying off 2,475 employees, permanently eliminating 450 jobs. One of the largest hospital systems in Metro Detroit. If Detroit is so hard hit by CV & the Governor is keeping Michigan shut down, this doesn’t add up."

If new data suggesting Covid-19 no more lethal than FLU is correct, should the world REVERSE its lockdown strategy? https://rt.com/op-ed/486224-covid-flu-l ... -strategy/ via @RT_com

A 2006 pandemic plan warned that New York City could be short as many as 9,500 ventilators. But the city only acquired a few hundred, which were ultimately scrapped because it couldn’t afford to maintain them. But somehow this is Trump's fault?

The US constitution hasn't been repealed (it was on Hillary's to-do list). Until we become a full blown Socialist (Communist) country, the states are supposed to have their own plans AND supplies to deal with emergencies. It is NOT the job of the Federal government to be the sole supplier of medical supplies to the States. If the leadership of a state like New York fails in it's obligations, Trump has every right to call them out for it.

A Failure at the Top

AP FACT CHECK: Trump's wayward claims on virus tests, cures

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/factchec ... li=BBnb7Kz

"Over the weekend, he tweeted that the U.S. has tested more people than the major countries of the world “combined.” That's nowhere close to reality. Together, just three “major countries” alone — Russia, Germany and Italy — have tested more people than the U.S. And on another measure, more than 30 countries have tested a larger share of the population than the U.S. has done.

His statements came after a week in which his unproven ideas for fighting COVID-19 such as injecting disinfectants into people triggered an outcry from health officials everywhere. Trump also gave weight through his bully pulpit to an unproved theory that heat and humidity might hasten the destruction of the coronavirus,

Following his clashes with scientific experts, the White House is now taking steps to shift the president's public focus to efforts aimed at easing the economic devastation caused by the pandemic."

Trump stated over a month ago that the 15 COVID 19 cases would soon go away

The US is fast approaching one million cases with over 55.000 deaths.
Unemployment is almost 27 million

Trump is one huge failure

100 days, one million confirmed infections, and a country transformed.

It has been 100 days since a 35-year-old man presented to an urgent care clinic in Snohomish County, Wash., with a four-day history of cough and fever and tested positive for the virus.

His was the first case to be detected.

Since then, more than one million people had tested positive in the United States.

In that time, residents in most states in the country — along with more than half of all humanity — have been ordered to shelter in their homes in the hopes of slowing the spread of the highly contagious virus and to try to keep hospital systems from being overwhelmed.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/29/us/c ... nk-22fb2c1

Remember when Trump said the fifteen cases would soon go down to zero?
Well we know that was bullshyt as a month later we now have over one million.
Remember when Trump said I alone can fix it?
We he sure fvcked up the entire country
The Washington Post discovered that more then twelve PDB's issued in January and February by our intelligence committee mentioned the COVID 19 virus and Trump either never read them, didn't believe them and failed to act by increasing our testing, swabs, gowns, masks and other necessary equipment.
Trump calls himself a leader but he is not and is a huge failure and bullshyt artist.
Then we have another bullshyt vice president Pence when asked by a reporter why we still do not have the over four million tests per day that he promised over one month ago he said that he sent out tests but there was no means to complete the tests.
What a d!ck wad!
Then there is Alex Azar the head of HHS who hires a dog breeder
Another two A$$holes in the Trump administration

https://www.thedailybeast.com/alex-azar ... rce-report

"The head of the Department of Health and Human Services tapped a 37-year-old former dog breeder with no public health experience to lead the government’s “day-to-day” response to the coronavirus to disastrous effect, Reuters reports. HHS Secretary Alex Azar chose Brian Harrison, who from 2012 to 2018 ran a company called Dallas Labradoodles that sold mixed dog breeds, to be his chief of staff in 2019 and later promoted him to coordinate the nation’s coronavirus task force. White House staff reportedly called Harrison “the dog breeder” behind his back. "

Trump is now forcing meat plants to stay open resulting in more spreading of this virus.
More Americans have now died in two months than in the entire Viet Nam war

November 3rd can't some soon enough to get rid of this incompetent a$$hole and the incompetent people he has surrounded himself with.

Rex Tillerson was so right when he called Trump a Fvcking moron

An there was an A hole that called Obama the worst president in six decades!
Obama dealt with SARS, H1N1, and Ebola and we never had the problems that we have now.

A$$hole Number 2 in the Trump administration

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyl ... story.html

Pence staff threatens action against reporter who tweeted about visit to clinic without surgical mask

"Vice President Pence’s office has threatened to retaliate against a reporter who revealed that Pence’s office had told journalists they would need masks for Pence’s visit to the Mayo Clinic — a requirement Pence himself did not follow."
All of us who traveled with [Pence] were notified by the office of @VP the day before the trip that wearing of masks was required by the @MayoClinic and to prepare accordingly,” tweeted Herman, who covered the trip as part of his rotation as one of the pool reporters, who share information with other reporters in limited-space situations.

Trump is surrounded by A$$holes who are as unqualified for their job just as Trump is unfit and unqualified as POTUS

The Senate that wants to return discovers that the necessary tests are unavailable even though Trump promised more than a month ago that anyone who wants a test could get one.
Trump is now going to screw the entire graduating West Point class by requiring a return to West Point so Trump can give a bullshyt speech about what a great job he has done.
The long lines for food in so many stated continue to get longer every day.
There is still no federal tracking of the increasing number of COVID 19 deaths in nursing homes, long term care facilities, jails, state and federal prisions, and food processing plants.
Trump previously stated in early March the 15 cases would soon go down to zero but we now have well over one million cases and over sixty three thousand deaths.
Is anyone tired of winning?
