Elect a guy like we did, we get results like we do.Dinsy Ejotuz said:
Completely unnecessary. The flu is much worse and the coronavirus is just a hoax dreamed up by the Democrats and MSM to make Trump look bad. It will all miraculously disappear in a few weeks.Stealthycat said:
Because he believes he will absolutely lose if the market is bad. He cares for the market only so far as what it does for him personally.
Yeah if his actions have been to stabilize the stock market he has thoroughly soiled the bed.
Truly. It would have been better if he did nothing at all, and that's enough of an indictment of his actions.
Sounds like they're on their way to becoming just like Venezuela any time now. Taiwan, it was a good run.
because this virus affects everyone - poor people, rich people, Democrats, Republicans ..... this isn't someone anyone can hide from like drugs or sex trafficking or illegals etcSheriff Bart said:
me ? I think anyone coming into the USA at anytime needs to let us know they're here, nobody here illegally. Trump stopped European travel yesterday didn't he ? As to SHOULD we take that precaution? I'm uncertain ... my gut says this is way way overblown but if the virus mutated and had a kill rate of 30% or 40% ? That turns into a whole new pandemic scenario doesn't it ?Biff84 said:
The virus is already here. What is shutting down the borders going to do right now? It's an ill-conceived plan that won't make a dent in the coronavirus situation at this time.
You're undercutting your own point. It's not a travel ban, it was miscommunicated by the President as a travel ban. People from Europe not in the EU can still come here. Americans can travel. Brits can travel. People within the EU who are not within the Schengen zone (that's a thing, that's 5 of the EU nations) can travel. Cargo can be shipped. Permanent residents and family members are not affected. There's no testing or screening requirement. Etc.
Are Republicans finally in board with thinking this thing is real and not some made up overhyped issue to get Trump?Stealthycat said:
I don't. Mainly because the virus is already here and in likely greater numbers than in the migrant population.
They stopped trading on the NYSE at the get-go.
He stopped direct European travel.
True...i shouldn't. How about “many Trump supporters”? I wont even say most.
Why? They have been all in on not breaking rank or offering a weak "I don't condone, but will still support" statements. Can you link to the republicans that came out and said this should be taken seriously and isn't a just a democratic/liberal media shot at Trump until last night?
Every time I think about his need for everyone to think he knows it all, I can't help but think of how happy BGP must be with this president. Beej's opinion was that the smartest guy in the room had to tell everyone else that he was the smartest guy in the room because otherwise how would those dummies know?
If we survive this thing, it will be inspite of our leadership, not because of it. Trump has done nothing to slow this down. Thousands of Americans will die, if not hundreds of thousands, and it could have been prevented had the administration been prepared and competant.
Yeah we have 2 confirmed cases in Michigan and dozens waiting for test results. I think we should have closed schools today instead of waiting until we have 50. Schools are like a virus created a dream scenario to spread through a community.
The rise of an authoritarian state or the root-to-leaf immolation of the Republican Party both seem plausible.
But even if the number of cases is large, but lower than the common flu, you will have people that say “see it wasn’t even as bad as the flu”. These people suck, but there is a lot it them.
I don't think this attitude will last long.
Mcconnell says he will block House Democrats' response package, calling it an "ideological wish list" that will "create a thicket of bureaucracy."
Maybe it it’s just my lack of faith Trump supporters will ever be logical. Maybe personal fear of death is their breaking point.
What is the point of payroll tax relief if people aren't going into work?
