Full Reckoning to you Trump apologists: He is an epic disaster then and now. Until the middle of March he handled CV19 through the direct lens of how this affected him and the stock market. The health care community knew in February that PPE and Ventilators were going to be a huge issue and the Feds didn't help out formally until last week. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst - that is what leadership does. The WH prepared for the best and is still behind the curve. The path to tamping this down and getting economically viable again distancing and testing. California instituted stay at home far ahead of the rest of the US and it will pay itself back in lives, dollars and getting back to normal. We still have states with no formal policies. I am quite sure the CDC was warning the WH that some level of quarantine was in order in February - the Feds/WH still has "guidelines" - they have abdicated the handling of this to the states and it will haunt us for months. The 15 days till whatever....yikes. Testing is great but unless you tie it to a policy of an integrated data base, quarantine and hunting down contacts of those testing positive - you are just recording the past - not affecting the future. DT's daily pressers are a word salad of him patting himself on the back - followed by experts with carefully crafted messages with a mix of praising DT and parsed data. He literally blamed lack of PPE on nurses stealing. This isn't about Hillary, Pelosi, Biden the MSM....please. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Had the WH prepared for the worst in Jan and Feb we would be months ahead of where we are now. I am sure you guys have made fun of Neville Chamberlain somewhere here....that's what your boy is. DT's epic failure to think beyond himself in Jan-Feb-Mar has cost lives and trillions of dollars in economic activity. Tell me - what is our national strategy beyond a stay at home "guideline" until May?

Question....when you say stuff like this - do you actually believe it?

Why doesn't he use his wartime powers act?

Yikes....that personnel group seems like 20 years ago

And right on cue....when presented with actual ideals and positions....the regulars break down to name calling

Pretty soon someone with a twitter account can post "Dude on backwater forum who thought CV 19 was a bioweapon white hat blah blah blah....now understands it wasn't"

SO - he was wrong then...but now we trust him?

Aaaaand of course it took you 2 posts to pollute this thread with your toxic cut and pastes....Lordy....can’t you just speak for yourself?

If DT had not touted it as a cure....they would not have done it

Yo....so if we are attacked....its every state for itself? I know its hard not to be a tard...but try When are you going to concede - or at least understand - that DT simply says what it takes to get to the next news cycle

Huh.....looks like Dr Trump talked someone from Arizona into killing themselves...tremendous...10/10

The good thing is the GOP can keep it secret for 6 months....prolly should have made it 9 If they were smart

A $500B fund managed by a pillar of integrity like Steve Mnuchin.....what could go wrong?

So the Title of the thread and the first several thousand posts by people like you are......wrong?

Wait....what? I thought global warming was a hoax....says so in the first six thousand posts in this thread....so it’s not a hoax?

This note would seem much more weighty if you were not able to cross out Pelosi and put in GOP/Trump and have it make just as much sense

Bills need a RB that can block.....Singletary is a great runner but can’t really block....affects the plays that you can run when he is in....same with our TE’s who catch

Hmmmm ..... so let me guess....I am guessing you did not review that 2015 budget in detail....but if you did....tell us.....You would have said “No....we need these ventilators kept in the budget for insurance”

Bailouts?...You wish ...the economy and how people and businesses go about their lives is going to have to be completely restructured then rebuilt in the next 6-12 months...the ability to contain gone...get ready for the Tsunami

Ok - someone tell the Orange Menace the expiration date has run out on the " China travel ban" brag.....Whatever benefits that may have had don't count if they are not followed up with continuous efforts to mitigate the spread Must suck to be a smart guy like Fauci and get marching orders every morning to throw that line in "X" times a day.....

aaaaannnnndddd DT has successfully...once again....duped his dupetards into reframing a situation to cover up his sheer incompetence

What is your over under for it not being overblown?

Gawd...stop quoting any china stats....I thought you regulars were pretty much on the thought process they cooked up this virus to overthrow DT or they knew about in November and would not tell anyone or it was part of the Wuhan secret reseach center... or they deceived this and that ........aaaaannnnnddddd now we can believe them

Basing any kind of analysis on what the Chinese release is just plain a waste of time...Look at Italy. My take....It is inevitable that like DT said....CV is going to "wash through" our country. Ultimately there will be hundreds of thousands...if not millions of casualties (pending a vaccine). No amount of economic help from the Feds can replace the loss of economic activity that is going to be incurred in a quarantine/shutdown. Think about this: A restaurant is in a plaza...shuts down - employees out of work. Restaurant has credit line with bank and a lease with a developer. Developer out of rent can't make payments might default on mortgage, restaurant out of credit line conditions with bank. Employees can't pay bills with a $1,000 check. Multiply by millions. This is the reality that we are looking at - and if you get a hold of leaked meetings and reports.....they know it What I think is going to happen? A policy of low risk people get on with their lives and the high risk try to stay out of harms way. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of casualties and not much to stop it....and that is the choice that is going to be made.

The buck stops where? See DT JR and Kim Garfoyle birthday party at MaraLago They had a LOCKDOWN....we have toilet paper hoarding
