I could argue there is a difference between arguing that they're hyping it versus that they were panicking. But it's easier to cede the point to you and stand corrected.

Links? If anything the left didn't hype this crisis because they were too busy hyping an unnecessary impeachment. The media on the other hand...

Just to make sure we're all on the same page: the Federal Government said 200,000 deaths is the BEST CASE SCENARIO?

It's impossible to express how unbelievably bad leftists are at this kind of stuff.

I'm still not seeing the lack of first world hospital care. I keep HEARING about it, but I don't see it from anyone, anywhere, at any time. Except, y'know, when they show video of Italy and PRETEND it's NY. People are going to die. People are going to survive. Some states will be prepared. Others will not. None of it will be anything short of the very best effort we, as a country, can provide at this time. It's embarrassing how many people like yourself look at what COULD be, or what MAY be, and automatically assume it WILL be a failure of epic proportions. Just embarrassing. Try to lift and encourage. It may change this doomsday view you keep seeing. Because when we get on the other side of this thing, you're going to look back on your posts and be stunned at how poorly you viewed this country. Or who knows. Maybe you just like to see misery.

Get back to first world level hospital care? I swear, sometimes I don't understand what keeps people like you from building a raft and making a break to the first-world shores of Venezuela. You are SO miserable in this country. Maybe a trip to a real schitthole is in order for you when this is over.

If Trump made this comment, the MSM would be announcing that Trump was very happy with the level of violence before the pandemic started.

We can't have child rapists getting a virus now, can we....

It's been my experience through this that you can tell a lot about a person based on their priorities during events like this. Some people simply lack the intellectual ability to focus on the task at hand. Others lack the emotional ability to have compassion for those who are struggling. Spend a little time here and that list comes more clearly into view. All blame. No focus or empathy. Kinda like Hillary. Hell, even Joe Biden is trying to contribute by explaining all the things he would do three days after Trump already did them.

Wait! Why would CBS use video footage of an Italian hospital to portray the NYC hospitals? Why, it's almost like they're trying to promote more panic. So odd. They're usually so accurate with their reporting lately.

You're wasting your time with a person whose ONLY interest in this pandemic is to push false narratives so he can point and blame. It's his sole reason for posting here. You'd have a deeper conversation with Q-tip at this point. Now, now. There is no time for facts when there is still time to push false stories to cast blame! After all, the country is eyeballs deep in a pandemic, and don't you agree that the first and only thing you should be doing is finding a Republican to blame?

It looks like our state tax is 33 cents on the gallon. Right now local gas is about $1.95/gallon for unleaded regular.

We homeschooled my son the past three years before putting him in a charter high school this year, and he slid right in to the shutdown. We didn't blink about it until one of his teachers sent out an email to all the parents and students, wondering why only a couple of students are doing the work. He literally had to write "I can SEE when you log in to do your work! You're not on vacation." Kinda funny.

But it's funny in its own way because it keeps the leftwing meltdown alive. It's sofa king funny. Especially the Hillary tweet earlier this week. It's vile and disgusting, but damn do I enjoy chuckling at these unhinged nutbags.

Nothing. It's been the fastest way for the state to bring in money in the past. I'm actually surprised it's only 80 cents on the gallon. The funny part is that the state was considering a road usage tax that pings people not just on gas, but how much they use the highways. Which was funny at the time because it was the state's way of getting more revenue from people who bought electric cars to avoid paying for gas.

The reality is that this is going to open a lot of eyes to the benefits of homeschooling, which is why you're seeing that ridiculous article. The teacher unions have been going out of their way to get the states to destroy home schooling opportunities, and this is going to put a dent in those efforts. Parents are getting a first-hand look at how easy it is for their children to pull down school work, get their work done in a dedicated school desk at home, post it back up, line up virtual meetings with classmates, and essentially remove a lot of the ridiculous brainwashing that comes from today's hard-left school curriculum. And look, I'm not saying the whole world is going to embrace homeschooling. It doesn't work for a lot of families where both parents work, and a lot of parents on social media right now are joking about the challenges of the whole family being quarantined, but I'm seeing so many people posting home schooling activities they're doing with their kids, and it's incredible to watch.

I keep waiting for Morgan Freeman to show up with a bag of E-1101.

As much as detest Trump's tweeting, I think sometimes it's a necessary evil to the extent that no one else can take up his fight with a bully pulpit of relative size. The left is notoriously taking his comments out of context and turning them into bits of nastiness, and this is just a byproduct of Trump's extemporaneous nature. But they have done this with GOP presidents for years. The beat the snotschitt out of Bush during Katrina...and he never fought back. The MI governor is a perfect example. She's completely talking out her ass, and by Trump fighting back, the light is cast on her incompetence and ultimately she starts walking back her nonsense simply because people HAD to pick a little deeper and realize she was full of crap.

I'll post this again: if you are watching what is going on in this world, and the only thing you can contribute to the conversation is to blame people for something over which you have no control, then STFU and let the adults get back to work. People like @Tiberius can only complain. They can only second-guess. They can only flail around mindlessly screaming gibberish and wasting time. They will forever be part of the problem, and never be part of the solution.

What a vile and disgusting pig. It's impossible to imagine how disgusting the tapioca must be in her noggin' to think that is a helpful comment to make at such a critical time in this country. Thank God for the electoral college. Who knows how many would be dead if this pig were in the WH.

That just underlines my point. The current logic is "It's not perfect, but at least it's not (fill in the blank)." It's not difficult at all to pull the stupid $11B marked for the ADF, IDA, etc. And it's embarrassing anyone would even consider it worth putting in there in the first place. This isn't difficult. But we're just supposed to accept it because it's better than nothing. It sucked when Obama did it and it sucks when Trump and the GOP do it.

On the other hand, anyone who thinks Pelosi is the winner in all of this has a leftwing hand up their puppetass. Pelosi did more damage than anyone by trying to push AOC's agenda into the bill.

The bill sucks, and that's coming from someone who potentially gets the best part of the bill, the forgivable small business loan.. The people in charge of passing this bill should look at every line item request and ask/answer one question so simple that even a Tibs/AOC love child could answer it: Does this help Americans get through this economic schittshow? There's a bunch of stupid stuff in this bill and there is literally NO REASON for it to be in there. NONE. The idea of "Well, we have to hold our noses and push this through so it looks and feels helpful right now" is bullschitt. Sorry. Hate the bill. Absolutely hate it.

I disagree. This is bad Trump. He has a great opportunity to take a higher road than he usually does because more people are watching than ever before. Being openly critical like this from someone on his own party, who is just taking a stand he promised to take when elected, is a bad look. Especially when you have nutbags like AOC going fully unhinged as a backdrop to the adults in the room. I really dislike this part of Trump...at least as it relates to his own party. He can do this to crazies like Schumer and Pelosi all day. Unfortunately she represents everything the Democrats hate: a, calm, rational, well-spoken woman sharing common sense. Especially compared to this batschittcrazy loon. It's more fun to watch on mute, by the way.

Who, exactly, are these experts and where are you getting their data? Don't mean to be prodding, but I've spent years hearing how 'all the experts on this subject matter' insist global warming will destroy the earth in 12 years. So, please show your work if you don't mind.
