Re: John Oliver on OAN misinformation idiocy
A lot of its rapid spread is due to Trump belittling the danger and wasting two months of possible preparation.
(BTW, everybody with a clue knew it was coming and told Trump).

Not my rules, kiddo. The rules of the international virology community.
And China and Wuhan each have two - exactly two - syllables.

Re: John Oliver on OAN misinformation idiocy
Funny how if "everybody knew it was coming" what "everybody" actually SAID was the same stuff Trump said at the beginning, oh no big deal, not to worry, etc. People put down Trump for stopping flights from China, people like Biden for instance. Everybody can say exactly what Trump said and be praised for it. If Trump says it he's a dastardly evil incompetent racist.

Re: John Oliver on OAN misinformation idiocy
You do know that the US and South Korea where infected at the SAME TIME. They took it seriously trump and the US dint. They flattened the curve in no time flat, the US still has exponential growth. Stopping flights from china after you already got infected is a bit pointless, a better option would be to test every passenger, but Trump declined WHO tests.

Christianity, One woman's lie about an affair that got seriously out of hand
What are the Christians gonna do to me ..... Forgive me, good luck with that.

Funny how the story changes. Not so long ago you said that there was hysteria about the virus which Trump called a hoax. Now that hysteria never existed.
quote:

That would be the Joe Biden who warned that Trump had left America unproared to face a pandemic back in January? USA Today. When everybody was saying no big deal, not to worry.
Biden is not convinced that travel bans would help much - especially after the virus was already in the US, but that is not at all the sane thing as being unconcerned with the virus,

No. Bullshit. What the intelligence community and the CDC and Navarro and HHS and others actually said was that coronavirus was a big fucking deal. Coronavirus: All the Times Trump Was Warned About the Pandemic
Not to mention how how he's defunded and gutted any possibility of any meaningful Federal response, and run like a scared bunny from his responsibilities.
But at least we have Jared in charge of profiteering.

Re: John Oliver on OAN misinformation idiocy
Intelligence report warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November: Sources - ABC News
quote:
As far back as late November, U.S. intelligence officials were warning that a contagion was sweeping through China’s Wuhan region, changing the patterns of life and business and posing a threat to the population, according to four sources briefed on the secret reporting.
Concerns about what is now known to be the novel coronavirus pandemic were detailed in a November intelligence report by the military's National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI), according to two officials familiar with the document’s contents.[...]
"Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event," one of the sources said of the NCMI’s report. "It was then briefed multiple times to" the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s Joint Staff and the White House."
From that warning in November, the sources described repeated briefings through December for policy-makers and decision-makers across the federal government as well as the National Security Council at the White House. All of that culminated with a detailed explanation of the problem that appeared in the President’s Daily Brief of intelligence matters in early January, the sources said. For something to have appeared in the PDB, it would have had to go through weeks of vetting and analysis, according to people who have worked on presidential briefings in both Republican and Democratic administrations.

Re: More illegality
Seems like something they would have wanted to know all along, but were trying to be bipartisan and fair and got a cadre of traitors for their trouble.

Re: More illegality
It is simply NOT illegal in the US.
Remember, the US Senate with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court determined that any act that the President deems in the Best Interest of the Nation cannot rise to the level of an impeachable offense and as the President of the US the only recourse to his acts is impeachment.
If Trump believes that it is in the Best Interest of the Nation that everyone in any position under the direction of the President (and remember he is also the Commander in Chief of the military and that the CIA, NSA, FBI and Secret Service are also under the Executive Branch) must swear allegiance to Donald Trump then that is acceptable.

Re: More illegality
Trump has probably allowed more dogs in the manger than any other President because he is too trusting and genuinely bipartisan. Presidents need people around them who share their perspective and in this time of the most evil Leftist fifth column we've ever had it's suicidal for a Republican to trust any of them.

Once again Faith, reality simply shows you are wrong.
Please present ANY evidence that Obama, and Clinton and FDR asked people who they voted for or expected them to be loyal to the person.
