Democrats should hope not a lot of people watched this

If this Chinese virus had happened while Obama was President, would the scum on the left have blamed him?

The Obama had the H1-N1 virus to contend with lol.

Somehow, I don’t recall the same hysteria or politicization even though it caused 12,000 deaths. In fact, I barely remember it at all.

[Frank Apisa]

bullshit on steroids. fantasy time. Trump doesn't lie about the numbers. They are put out by the NIH or CDC

If you want to think that Trump does not effect the kinds of numbers being put out by people who may be fired by him...think it.

There is no requirement that you be realistic in this forum. You can be as much a sycophant as you want. You can claim to be kissing the abominations feet if you want.

What I said holds. Trump MAY attempt to fudge the numbers...just as China or Iraq MAY attempt to fudge the numbers.

Only an ignorant Trump supporter would suppose that possibility does not exist.

Okay?

If this Chinese virus had happened while Obama was President, would the scum on the left have blamed him?

If this virus had happened while Former President Obama was President...most likely the idiots on the right would be blaming him for having developed the virus in order to destroy the right.

That is the kind of thing the assholes of the right would do.

In any case, I am not blaming Trump for the virus...nor saying it is his fault. I don't know of anyone who is...but anyone who is...is a jerk. Sorta like the run of the mill right winger...ya know...a jerk!

I have no idea of what "figures" he has fudged, but the guy lies so much, it certainly is not beyond him to lie about anything and everything, RB.

He is a liar...and if we are worried that Xi might be lying about the coronavirus numbers in China...we SHOULD be worried about Trump lying about the coronavirus numbers in the US.

Here is what I wrote: "I am MUCH less bothered by the prospect that China (or any of those other countries) fudged figures in order to make a leader or the country look better...than I am that OUR COUNTRY may end up doing that fudging because of the damage real statistics here might impact on The Dear Leader. Not saying we are doing it...or that Trump is ordering it..but it would not astonish me if it were discovered that something like that IS HAPPENING."

And you called that "bullshit."



Please, tell me it is 9 Ball or Straight...not 8 Ball. (Milk?)



RB, if you honestly cannot see...there is no "explaining" it. His disruption of the Republic, its institutions and its norms, is so blatant that anyone but a blind person can see it.




Whistle blowers in government are absolutely necessary...especially in the kind of government being run by Trump right now. If they have anything that would benefit the country...they would do what the WPA and the WPEA require them to do.

They should not be fired...they should be protected from being fired...which is what those laws do.

You would have no trouble understanding that if the whistleblower were providing information during the administration of Former President Obama...rather than Trump.

So there it is, you made false claim of fudged figures.
It is imperative that foreign leaders are truthful when giving those figures, Frank. How is the rest of the world supposed to respond? If the asshole Chinese hadn't kept a lid on it until it got out of hand, the world would have been better equipped to handle it. As for Trump, there is no reason to put the public into a panic, although we should be kept informed of newly arising cases in our country.

I shoot in an singles 8-ball league with a bunch of guys I've shot with for years. Nothing serious, best record gets $125 at end of session and we have an open bar and kitchen party, then start it over again.
Personally, I prefer to shoot straight on a 9 ft. table, it is the best practice game.

Frank, all the disruption is coming from you haters. If you would just calm down a little! You liberals lash out like a blind retard in a boxing match at anything and everything, and you still haven't found IT !

As an employee, it is wise to take any grievances to the supervisor rather than "posting them on facebook," so to speak. If nothing is done, take it to their superior.

“It must have been horrible for learned, dedicated people to be on that podium with Trump...listening to him tend to his re-election campaign rather than actually dealing with the coronavirus problem.”

Perhaps not blaming him for the problem but others have.

I did NOT make a false claim of fudged figures.

I've written my comments twice now. Learn how to read. Here is the comment one more time:

"I am MUCH less bothered by the prospect that China (or any of those other countries) fudged figures in order to make a leader or the country look better...than I am that OUR COUNTRY mayend up doing that fudging because of the damage real statistics here might impact on The Dear Leader.

I hope the highlighted parts aids you with your comprehension problems.

Ummm...I agree with most of what you wrote in this paragraph, RB, except that I would have included a sentence or clause mentioning that Trump is the most ignorant president this country has ever had...and the most dishonest.

Sounds like fun...although I am mostly a 9 ball player.

Frank, all the disruption is coming from you haters.

Me???

I'm a lover...not a hater.

If you would just calm down a little! You liberals lash out like a blind retard in a boxing match at anything and everything, and you still haven't found IT !

I'm calm as a cucumber in a refrigerator crisper drawer. Whatcha talking about?

As an employee, it is wise to take any grievances to the supervisor rather than "posting them on facebook," so to speak. If nothing is done, take it to their superior.

Workers for the federal government should follow the rules of laws passed by the Congress of the United States, RB. And those laws set out specific ways to "blow the whistle"...none of which involve blowing the president.

The whistle blower did exactly what she was supposed to do. Period.

Poor Frank, I hope you took your blood pressure medicine this morning, I know you can't de-stress playing golf today.

The last three times my blood pressure were taken, the highest reading was 123 over 80! At age 83...that ain't bad.

Yer right, though, too goddam cold for golf.

Gotta "de-stress" by visiting with friends here in the forum.

Since you are so good with quotes, Earl...how about a few of people claiming Trump is the reason for the coronavirus.

Go 'head. A few quotes from people saying Trump is the reason for the virus.

He awakens in a rage every morning.

What will happen when President Trump wins re-election?

[Earl]

Althea..
Post no. 5.

“LMAO. Now he wants to work together after slashing funding for the agencies that act to prevent such health emergencies?”

The “present health emergency” is the Chinese virus.

Hopefully, it won't kill him. Frank's OK, he's just a little misguided. Getting old can affect the mind.

Indeed.

He is morbidly misguided, politically.

The radical Democrat Socialists will all vote for bloody Socialism if the lunatic, old Socialist, Bernie wins the nomination. He won’t.

Duw - you ought to read a few more Trumpf speeches and get it up to normal! I only hope mine goes down to that, though, when I get to your age, which shouldn't take long.
