Re: Bye-bye America?
Instead of accusing me of things I didn't say, how about offering your own ideas about how to deal with the situation as I described it? Not as YOU think of it but as I described it.

Re: Bye-bye America?If
If you are going to accuse me of saying such things you need to quote me saying such things.

Re: Bye-bye America?
I'm sorry I don't remember saying those things and if I did it must have been in some context that your version doesn't convey. Ane yes you DO have to quote me if you are going to make such an accusation, that's just ordinary civility. Not that I can expect civility from a Leftist, but surprise me.
I'll probably argue that the context conveys soething other than your version conveys rather than just drop it.

Re: Bye-bye America?
And that wasn't a very civil comment either.
How about requiring PK to produce the vidence that I said what he says I said.

He accused me of recommending something violent. That requires proof.

That is definitely a shame, an appalling shame that they censor the President himself. Typical leftist media that has to make everything political instead of reporting the news. They long since abandoned any pretense to reporting the news.

Re: Bye-bye America?
Amazing how freely someone is allowed to go on and on attacking a member of the forum, and in this case not even answering my request to know what "error and ignorance" ON THIS CURRENT SUBJECT I am being accused of. It's still my requiest, I still ask that you answer it. Thank you.

Amazing, he points out that his enemies want the country to be destroyed so he won't be reelected and then they blame HIM for being concerned only about his reelection.

Such cleverness on the Left. It's not censorship to refuse to report on what the President said because he actually said it anyway. Amazing.

Taking him out of context as usual. Implying he called the virus a hoax, but what he called a hoax was the media's hysteria about the virus. Saying he refused to take responsibility as if he said it about the virus itself when he was talking about a particular decision to eliminate some office or other which wasn't his responsibility. Do you people ever care about the truth?

It was the WuHan virus to everybody until Trump used it, then it was racism.
Democrats, media, all the same thing really.
The video is edited to make it impossible to get exactly what he is saying so they can claim he was downplaying the virus itself. No he was objecting to the usual poligical attacks on him.
And why is everybody suddenly upset about calling it the Wuhan or Chine virus when that is what EVERYBODY was calling it when it was first identified. Horrific hypocrisy here. It came from China, other pandemics have also been called by their source.
It was China's attempt to cover it up that allowewd it to spread so far so fast and some are saying they should be made to pay for it, a trillion or so to the WHO. Of course they won't but it should be made clear that it is their responsibility and that they owe it. Either their creepy "wet markets" were its source or their creepy bio warfare lab was its source, but it s source was China and its spread was due to their politically motivated negligence.'s t

Trumps behavior is at best reprehensible and verging on criminal neglect.
Trump responded more rapidly and effectively than any other President to any similar situation. Obama didn't declare a national emergency on the swine flu for six months and then there were no travel bans or any other provisions that I remember..
But the Trump hatred will continue to write fake history anyway.

Re: It was the WuHan virus to everybody until Trump used it, then it was racism.
All I was saying was that it is STANDARD to call a pandemic by its source.
But there is no certainty about the origin of the Spanish flu except that it wasn't Spain. On this page you'll see that France, China and Britain were all considered to be its origin at one time or other. The US was also named because that's where the first case was identified on a military base in Kansas. But that doesn't make it the point of origin.
Why Was It Called the 'Spanish Flu?' - HISTORY
On the google page for "Where did the Spanish flu start?" you get:
More recently, experts have proposed a third hypothesis: The Spanish flu originated somewhere in northern China in late 1917 and swiftly moved to western Europe with the 140,000 Chinese laborers the French and British governments recruited to perform manual labor to free up troops for wartime duty.May 22, 2018
Somewhere I heard that many of the pandemics have originated in China with their "wet markets" where they kill all kinds of wild animals and sell them for food. Bats, monkeys, etc.
