Because the left wants Trump out of office badly. Muh Russia, Taxes, Stormi, Impeachment. The Coronavirus is another way for them to lay blame at him.

So you don't think Fox News and Republicans would be bashing Obama right now if he did the same thing tonight?


Yeah, I can’t recall a single administration having to immediately cleanup 3 inaccurate statements in an Oval Office address. And he was reading off a teleprompter.

But it’s just the media being unfair to Trump. Or maybe it’s because this president is a walking gaffe that spews verbal diarrhea, and he’s “drained the swamp” so much there are every adults left in the room to rise to a challenge.

This still doesn't disprove my point. Show me a Republican who praised Obama like that. All those people that loved Obama were on the left. You had Republicans wanting Obama out of office trying to say he wasn't an American citizen. You had a Republican radical go shoot up a black church. There are loonies on both sides. If I say one bad thing about the Orange man you'll lose your shite.

Yes, those mastermind democrats that couldn’t manufacture a 2016 presidential victory have concocted this brilliant scheme of unleashing a virus upon the world, forcing Italy to practically shut its country down, and killing lots of innocent people across the globe, all to bring down Donald Trump.


If some of y’all could even comprehend how stupid that premise is.

Because the government has completely dropped the ball on the response to coronavirus. The lack of testing has been absurd.

I know posters on this site that have asked this question and they have been downvoted and mocked mercilessly. But what does the post your responding too have to don with this?

I spoke to it, albeit in somewhat rambling form, in a post on that long arse thread about the virus that has spiraled into a left vs. right, good vs. bad, but muuuhh vs. muuuhh muh, and got downvoted to hell- mostly by the people in the thick of it.

Downvoted by the weak and by the partisan (they go hand in hand); which this country has plenty of.

The long answer is too long for the OT, which is a place that's indicative of the general public's intellect, which is shite, and therefore not worth typing out.

It comes down to our inherent fear of death and will to live being compounded by our easy-breezy 1st world problems, along with a fear and loathing of each other if we don't wholeheartedly agree (let's call it, "the downvote culture") to get to where we are now at.

I said that I believe this event will be a defining moment for the country, but it remains to be seen just how much defining it will do and to what capacity. I still believe that, and so far we citizens who, not too long ago, would've been having a dialogue on solutions and preparedness and who were still a durable people, are shitting the bed- mostly caused by infighting.

Our little boxed in world's with their glass walls are having rocks thrown at them, and so there MUST be somebody to blame- ANYBODY- and to hell with the logic on why.

It's pitiful how disgusting and weak and impressionable that the peoples, specifically the men, of this country have become. I'm ashamed of the legacy we will die and leave, but Lord willing, even though the history books won't say it, there's some solace in knowing that I am, was, and will be on the record as, "not being okay with it."

SMMF'INH.

Seriously what could have been done with a higher number of positive tests? Tell more people than everyone to wash hands and social distancing?

President Trump gives a very serious speech to the American public where he outlines constructive measures to deal with a national health crisis. Economic relief, medical testing, travel measures, waivers for copays, the possible trajectory of the disease, the importance of being a “ family “ during this crisis. Not one ounce of partisanship included in his speech.

The Democratic Party Chattering Class goes into immediate RAGING hysteria melt mode, and Informs America that their President is an incompetent racist and a xenophobe with no redeeming features.

Your response to all this is “ Orange Man Bad”. Not a word about the actual measures introduced. Thanks for so beautifully demonstrating my point. TDS is real and it’s spectacular.

ok son I can go there easily. Ted Bundy off the top of my head was a staunch Republican. I'm not going to go in a rabbit hole saying omg this murderer was democrat or Republican.

Yeah who will ever forget the Swine Flu Media Riots after Obama’s speech about the threat posed by the virus? The mass outrage, the cries of “ Obama is a racistsexisthomophobe!”

Just stop. You are embarrassing yourself with your pathetic attempts at moral equivalency. Now is the time for cooperation and unity, THE KIND REPUBLICANS EXTENDED TO OBAMA during Any public health crisis he faced ( Swine etc). Just pretend for one day that you are an American first. You can be a whiny, hysterical Leftist douche canoe later.
