180 degrees from what I heard throughout 2019 when the trade fight was going on with China.

So the theme for 2020 is that he's best buds with China? No, can't be, it changes faster than that because he was a big meanie racist just a week ago by calling in the Chinese virus.

I've got light switches in my house that flip less frequently than some of the posters here.

No doubt, they seamlessly switch from parroting anti-American Chinese propaganda, to accusing Trump of supporting the Chinese, to bashing Trump for speaking out against the Chinese.

They have a pathological condition that causes them to reflexively take the opposite position no matter what Trump says. The result is him putting clown shoes on them over and over again, forcing them into bad takes and conflicting takes.

It's really sad to see and it just highlights the mental health crisis in this country.

This is the natural progression of a cult. When things start to unravel the dear leader will ask members to sacrifice themselves.

They did say that half of South Dakota's cases come from a single meatpacking facility that employs mostly illegal aliens. We should probably repatriate these illegals back to their countries of citizenship who should be responsible for caring for them.

I don't see a die-off of typical Trumpers anytime soon. There are idiots that are pushing the risks and ignoring warnings and claiming Trump knows best. They will probably get sick and infect those in their immediate bubble but also others and healthcare workers. Some will die, but maybe not the ones that spread the disease.

Trump was asked a direct question regarding the ridiculous protest in Lansing, MI and he just couldn't bring himself to criticize their actions. I don't know why this needs to be a red state/ blue state issue but here we are.


Why is it so difficult for some of these republican governors to follow the advice of their own health experts.
Here's why, conservatives are more likely to be anti-science than liberals are. It happens with climate change. It is happening again with Covid-19. Conservatives act like the virus isn't as bad as it is and isn't as deadly. Doug Ducey, Gov of Arizona is not as anti-science and handled this OK though I think we were a little late to call "stay-at-home" and a Farce of essential businesses, but he was faster than Gov. DeSantis and the quack in South Dakota.

Florida is a hot mess because DeSantis didn't take this seriously sooner. He was waiting for Trump's lead. And look at what's happening with SD now. Do you think the republican governor is lying about all the corona virus cases. This virus is in every state and spreading.

Really? He said I and I alone will fix it?

If we didn't have states rights and independence from the Fed you would have a valid point. Trump flubbed that is without question, but who flubbed hardest?

Do I wait for the Fed to tell me to save Money? To have some food in my house? To keep a first aid kit? To have hand sanitizer?

Do I need the fed to tell me "hey of the 196 countries on the planet 190 have corona so we better take some individual responsibility and prepare our households the storm." NO. I see what's going on and do something.

The States have been warned many many times that a pandemic is not a matter of if but when. The states choked. The Fed spent billions. 10 billion a year just for the CDC.

New York? Well they decided that they didn't need no stinking ventilators. LOL. In fact New York City didn't even feel the need to lock down until it was an explosion of sick people.

All you folks saying but the fed should have would have spazzed out if the Fed came in and used the Military to enforce a lock down and social distancing measures.

Is Florida a hot mess because of its leadership or because NY allowed their infected to travel at will?

The left screamed bloody murder when Florida singled out New York. PA should have and now they have a hot mess from the Buses and vans that went back and forth into plague city USA.
