    Trump is interested in power, in adulation, not in governance.

    If he were interested in governing, in guiding the country forward, the US would not be in this horrific mess. A moderately responsible leader would have allowed the country to take the needed actions to fight the pandemic with a unified message and a serious strategy.

    Ok then, who's fault is it that;

    Beligium has 840 deaths per million residents

    Sweden 523 per mil

    France 456 per mil

    Italy 574 per mil

    Spain 606 per mil

    UK 640 per mil

    United States is at 386 deaths per million residents

    IT HAS HAPPENED EVERYWHERE! A president cannot stop a virus. 

    2009, Obama is president. H1N1 pandemic sweeps our nation. Luckly, most older folks had anti-bodies from seeing similar virus years ealier. This virus attacked the young, 20 yr olds. Over 10,000 died, maybe more. No college shutdowns, no media hype H1N1 METER. NOT ELECTION YEAR!!!

    THE REAL QUESTION IS WHY DID CHINA QUARINTINE MILLIONS IN A CITY BUT ALLOWED INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL FROM THAT CITY????

     

    WHAT NEEDED ACTION DID YOU HAVE IN MINE?????

    "fight the pandemic with a unified message and a serious strategy."

    Health Care "EXPERTS" DID NOT HAVE CLUE early on on how to fight this!!! They had recovering patients put in nursing homes! WRONG!!!

    Patients came in with oxygen levels below 40. they would intubate and adjust ventilator to compensate. WRONG AGAIN, it destroyed their lungs!

    They had to relearn everything. Thousands died early. Now they know, apply oxygen, not crank up the ventilator. Put patients on their stomachs, they breath easier. Dexamethazone works great, they just figured that out. I could go on and on.

    Nothing would have mattered, a virus will take it's course, especially a NEW one.

    YOUR MEDIA DOES NOT TELL YOU THESE THINGS, DOESN'T FIT THE FEAR AGENDA!! GOOGLE what I have said above, it is all out there!

    EDUCATE YOURSELF PEOPLE, DON'T BE PLAYED A STOOGE!!!

    Looking back now, playing "Arm Chair Quarterback" the way we could have stopped or delayed the virus was to halt ALL INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL, especially air travel. Australia did it, a bit late, they were lucky it hadn't hit them yet. IT WORKED.

    The day after Trump halted flights from China, Biden called him a xenophobic. PolitiFact.com says;

    "Biden used the phrase “xenophobic” in reply to a Trump tweet about limiting entry to travelers from China and in which Trump described the coronavirus as the “Chinese virus.” Biden did not spell out which part of Trump’s tweet was xenophobic."

    I have a new phrase for people who say something but never really pin down exactly what they mean. "CONVENIENT IMPLICATION". He neither said shutting down flights was wrong, right, or long overdue. Just criticized with CONVENIENT IMPLICATION. So Joe had no ideas at all it appears or he would have said it!

    Trump took a lot of crap for stopping that air travel, his own people didn't like it. Looking back, he was on the right track! Shouldn't have listened to those in the wrong!

    A 20-month old boy was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in Chicago. Last week it was a three year old. Mother and child returning from laundromat. Mother hit by bullets too.

    LET US SEE IF NBC NEWS SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS TRAGEDY.

    I'm betting NOT.

    A 20-month old boy was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in Chicago. Last week it was a three year old. Mother and child returning from laundromat. Mother hit by bullets too.

    LET US SEE IF NBC NEWS SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS TRAGEDY.

    I'm betting NOT.

    Exactly, NOTHING MENTIONED AT ALL. SAME WITH ANOTHER KILLING AT CHOP. Too busy trying to stir up the phoney Russian bounty story. Had "exclusive interview" with Putin rep who said the story was "BLEEP", imagine he said shit! Then they go on and ask him if U.S, officials had contacted them about this story. WHY???? 

    And would Russia even admit it if it was true?? Waste of time!!!

    ANOTHER NIGHT OF MORE BULLCHIT POT STIRING NEWS. DISGUSTING!

    Intelligence that assessed that there was an effort by the GRU unit to pay bounty money to kill US soldiers was included in one of President Trump’s Daily Brief (PDB). Trump is infamous for not reading much at all.

    Reporter Carl Bernstein, who long has been known for governmental sources, is attacking the WH denials of this information never being given to Trump/Pence.  

    If this report turns out to be valid, I don't even know what to say about it.

    Here's Bernstein's report.....

    “In hundreds of highly classified phone calls with foreign heads of state, President Donald Trump was so consistently unprepared for discussion of serious issues, so often outplayed in his conversations with powerful leaders like Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Erdogan, and so abusive to leaders of America’s principal allies, that the calls helped convince some senior US officials — including his former secretaries of state and defense, two national security advisers and his longest-serving chief of staff — that the President himself posed a danger to the national security of the United States, according to White House and intelligence officials intimately familiar with the contents of the conversations,” Bernstein reported.

    The calls caused former top Trump deputies — including national security advisers H.R. McMaster and John Bolton, Defense Secretary James Mattis, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, and White House chief of staff John Kelly, as well as intelligence officials — to conclude that the President was often ‘delusional,’ as two sources put it, in his dealings with foreign leaders. The sources said there was little evidence that the President became more skillful or competent in his telephone conversations with most heads of state over time. Rather, he continued to believe that he could either charm, jawbone or bully almost any foreign leader into capitulating to his will, and often pursued goals more attuned to his own agenda than what many of his senior advisers considered the national interest,” Bernstein reported.

    Bernstein explained the significance of the calls in light of the latest scandal involving Russia reportedly offering bounties for the killing of U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

    “These officials’ concerns about the calls, and particularly Trump’s deference to Putin, take on new resonance with reports the President may have learned in March that Russia had offered the Taliban bounties to kill US troops in Afghanistan — and yet took no action. CNN’s sources said there were calls between Putin and Trump about Trump’s desire to end the American military presence in Afghanistan but they mentioned no discussion of the supposed Taliban bounties,” Bernstein explained.

    Trump’s insecurity around women was also reportedly on display in the calls.

    Bernstein reported, “the President regularly bullied and demeaned the leaders of America’s principal allies, especially two women: telling Prime Minister Theresa May of the United Kingdom she was weak and lacked courage; and telling German Chancellor Angela Merkel that she was ‘stupid.'”

    Fact--Obama does not read his intelligence briefings nor does he get briefed in person by the CIA or DOD. Too busy I guess! Trump's tweet on 9/30/14

    This was total bullshit but this tweet has aged like a bottle of Thunderbird under a bridge in San Fran.

    I'm from the Chi, unfortunately this is not national news. Happens multiple times weekly in that city. Been that way for 4+ decades. Gets to a point with the guns, gangs, and drugs that no one cares anymore because it's either the West or South side of the city. Sad but true.

    I saw live footage of a BLM group that broke into a gated community in St. Louis, including the home of the mayor. The group advertised on social media that they would be breaking into the community the day prior yet no cops were there to greet and deter them. 911 was called. No cops came. It became a standoff because one of the people living near the gates had an automatic rifle. 

    Is this what we want?

    No. 

    CNN will not report these things happening.

    The Democrats want to defund the police force, open the borders, and encourage people to not work by having them live off the system.

    Sorry, but those are all bullshit talking points.

    Democrats want police protection like everyone else & understand their importance in a community.

    Democrats are all for legal immigration which doesn't equate to open borders.

    Democrats own companies & need employees to come back to work. Most workers want to get back to work when it is safe to do so. Until that time arrives, yes Democrats want to assist those in need.

    ""Democrats want police protection like everyone else & understand their importance in a community"" .... That is an outright lie MIDNIGHT.   While you were locked up a few weeks ago, the anarchists took control, burned cities , and still occupy parts of Seattle at this moment.  OF COURSE THEY WANT TO DEFUND THE POLICE.  THEY ARE BEHIND BLM .. THE ANARCHISTS ARE OF YOUR PARTY !!  .. The Democrat Party.  

    Have you heard Pelosi speak out against the Anarchy  !?!?    Have you heard Schumer speak out against the Anarchy  !?!?

    You Can't  Make This Stuff up !!!!

    Be careful with pointing out politicians that do not call out violent, dangerous hate groups. So we can say all Republicans support White Supremacists and the White Power movement since McConnell and Trump won't call them out? I have yet to hear Trump flat out denounce the KKK, or Neo Nazi organizations, even referring to some as very fine people. Be careful with that one bro, especially a day after Trump re-tweeting a video of a supporter claiming White power. Slippery slope there. an_cheers

    Just a quick question. What cities are being destroyed by these anarchists? Where is this occurring? You have any current videos and images? A lot of Fox propaganda. Monuments being destroyed anarchy? Has your home or property been destroyed yet? Tucker Carlson says it's coming. Quick lock your doors! Funny stuff. an_cheers

    Figures a video that doesn't work. an_cheers

    I know I do not see any of this anarchy in my nice neighborhood in Arizona, and this is historically a conservative state. Democrats should be raging in fury in AZ with the blue wave coming, but eerily quiet. Interesting, this anarchy cannot be found in any communities close by. Talk about propaganda and fear mongering.

    Ancient monuments should be the least of our concerns in this country right now. I do not agree with defacing public property, but come on you cannot think that is the country's most important issue at the moment. I think it's reckless and pointless, but seriously. 

    What about Trump's leadership? I thought he was calling in the National Guard???? Law and Order! He should be squashing those crowds easily right??? 

    Trust me in Chicago ruining monuments is not even in the top 10 of the city's priorities. That city has been dealing with gangs, drugs, gun violence, and corrupt police for 4 decades. You are talking about monuments??? an_roll_laugh

What cities are being destroyed by these anarchists? Where is this occurring? You have any current videos and images? A lot of Fox propaganda. Monuments being destroyed anarchy? Has your home or property been destroyed yet? Tucker Carlson says it's coming. Quick lock your doors! Funny stuff.
