    Right-wing folks ... or Left-wing folks. Similar to the way the Saudis exploit their 'Immigrant Labor', so too the Americans.
    At least the Right-wing is smart enough to PRETEND they care about the 'Working Class'.
    I can't believe the Left-wing has written off the American Working Class.
    Well, at least they have the Transgenders, that's important.
    I think you have things in reverse....the right wing for the last 30 years has pushed this "free market" fantasy for the working class that NEVER PANS OUT...reaganomics with it's "trickle down" and "job creators" guff made that painfully clear.

    Meanwhile, America is not even trying to stop the pandemic.

    Hell I knew Trump welded power but I never realized he has the power of an mount Olympus God. Perfect example of the legalization of pot.
    He is responsible for one-third of world deaths and cases that we have in America. He did nothing for 6 weeks then fucked it up afterward. Nobody is near our level of Corona. That is all leadership or lack of it.

    4 week after China said they were investigating a respiratory illness Trump initiated the coronavirus task force 2 days later Trump bans flights from China. 6 weeks is a liberal lie.

    Trump went golfing and held rallies during Feb. That is a fact. he did nothing in January. He claims the ending flights to China was a bold stroke. 40,000 people still flew directly to 17 American cities and others flew to Europe then they flew in from there. That is all smoke and lies. 6 weeks is a fact. He totally blew the testing. We still do not have it . It is June. Trump mishandled it from the beginning until now.

    You do understand that presidents are still on the clock on the golf course or a rally. You all defended Obama hard enough when he was playing golf. I guess because Trump has a R instead of a D makes the difference in your eyes.

That was the hotbed of Corona. Fauci was the one who told Trump to do that. Trump did not even understand the point as his proclamations made clear.
    Wrong again! Lord Fauci was against the ban before he was for it. Like all you flip flopping liberals.

    Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any form of economics ever. Even when strained by this mild socialist garbage. Your socialist nirvana has never and will never work. I for one will never work to have most of my earnings given to those less willing to do the same.

    Like the dog and the fleas. Eventually with enough fleas the dog dies and then so do the fleas.

    You cant stop it buddy. The genie will never get back in the bottle. That's why they wanted to flatten the curve. They know it cant be stopped without a vaccine.

    Now it seems those staying home are over 60 percent of new hospitalizations go figure. Lord Fauci's advice sickening more people while trumps advice working lol. You can't make this up lol.

    You are so full of crap it's scary. He made a decision in January that most said was to much at the time including your demonrat senile Joe biden.

    Based on your insanely stupid logic then Obama is responsible of most of the world's deaths and infections from the swine flu as he did nothing at all about it. Come to think about it he owes me 2 co pays since both my boys got that shit.

    I doesn't matter! They dont have a right to say a freaking thing when they attacked Trump for that china travel decision. They just aren't smart enough to understand the hypocrisy of their position today.

    Never mind that they are wrong and full of crap. The president has done a great job given the information at the time. Much of which was horse shit including from load Fauci.

    That is pretty accurate in my opinion.

    And besides, Wall Street is not exactly Main Street!

    Trumps connection to the Fed is not exactly Hip!

    Donald Trump asked the Fed for a fractional Fed rate- meaning less than zero! Hilarious!

    They probably looked at him and said, "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND"? I just wished I would have been there!

    I can see the Treasury Secretary facepalming now!

    This happened just recently the day the cost of a barrel of oil temporarily went into negative dollars!

    Donald Trump's brain never ceases to amaze me! LOL!

    I understand that is theoretical, not factual.
