... The left’s political class, meanwhile, is fixated on something else: dividing Americans for partisan gain. ...

Media pundits and Democrat leaders in Congress, on the other hand, are in the business of manufacturing conflict. They lose out if Americans unite.

Yet the left botched the Coronavirus story again and again. Now, they blame the President and hope you don’t remember how they fought him every step of the way:

The President formed a Coronavirus Task Force on January 29, when there were just a handful of confirmed cases in the United States. That day, The New York Times warned its readers to “beware the pandemic panic.” By the next day, Democrats were busy fighting each other over the impeachment spotlight.

President Trump restricted travel from China two days later. Democrat leaders called the ban “xenophobic” and unnecessary. The Washington Post published a piece that day: “How our brains make coronavirus seem scarier than it is.”

In an Oval Office address on March 11, President Trump spoke about the U.S. response and announced travel restrictions from Europe. Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined the media and other Democrats in questioning the action: “We’ll see whether it’s worth the trouble.”

The Trump Administration negotiated with Congress later in March to get immediate relief for working Americans through the bipartisan CARES Act. Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats stalled the Senate bill with their own list of demands—filled with partisan items that had nothing to do with Coronavirus.

There are more examples, but the pattern is clear: The left attacks President Trump for overreacting to Coronavirus, then later claims he didn’t do enough. It’s a classic Washington stunt, but it won’t work this time. Americans have seen these tricks before.

Yes Biden literally called Trump a xenophobe. Hence quotations around xenophobic.

No, Biden did not literally call Trump a xenophobe for halting flights from China.


Now you’re going to go lawyer and try to make a weasely point that the quote didn’t use precise enough language? When it was obvious to anyone that Biden was referring to the referenced quote about closing flights with China?
There are truly none so blind as those who refuse to see.

The truth is that we don't know for sure that Trump is xenophobic, because we do know that he lies almost constantly.

Therefore, he may only be acting xenophobic for the sake of the base he has cultivated since 2015 (the so called deplorables).

If you are American you’d know exactly why there’s quotes around speech expressions. What the hell were you doing in high school?

No Biden did not say Trump was "xenophobic for instituting travel band on China"

I understand the difference but it sounds like you don't.

That's why I say it should set off flags in a critical thinkers mind to see only 1 word is quoted. Do you really disagree with my critical thinking skills or should i "bah" like so many sheep here?


I see no critical thinking there. Biden and Dems were flipping over China virus and flight closures calling them xenophobic. To left everything has to end on “phobic” or their little brains can’t comprehend anything.

Referring to it as "Chinese Virus" is racist.


No it’s not, because all viruses are called by their origin in medical field. So that if you travel somewhere and get sick, it’ll be easier to identify. So if you get a respiratory virus in Middle East they test for MERS and not Spanish Flu. Same with China. Left lives making up racism where there’s none, because super stupid.

Why is left so stupid, dumbest people in the world. We need to bring back Darwinism so all stupid die off again.

As an example of just how poorly Democrats can run a state with respect to the little people who actually make things run:
Examine Virgina. 100% Democrat controlled. Lowest minimum wage in the union, at the federally mandated $7.25 which hasn’t changed in almost 20 years, also right to work state with full union busting. Last year after a huge push from unions, it got some modest minimum wage gains set to go into effect this year.

Yesterday Democrat Governor “Blackface Klanrobe” Northam postponed those wage hikes indefinitely citing the national crisis.

Don’t tell me about Democrats being for working people when they clearly have no interest in us.



Add to that how the first thing the Va Dems did when they got power was push for driver's licenses for illegals (with motor voter registration) and sanctuary cities.

Tell me, if I say I have the "Chinese Virus" how does one know I'm not referring to SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) which also started in China AND doesn't have China in the name.


Chinese Corona Virus, that’s how, because it’s not same as every other one. Thanks for playing.

Call it Chi-SARS-CoV-2.

It's interesting how many flounced Trump Haters from 2017 have re-emerged, hoping this will be Trump's Katrina.

China needs to be in the name becasue it's all about Trumps strategy of assisting the oligarchs with divide and conquer.

See how it unnecessarily divides us ?

Think about it, people arguing over whether China needs to be in the name of a pandemic. We're devolving.

I don't accept the framing.

Leftists want everybody else to continually back down and let them win by default on every issue.

Once I see Leftists back down from conflict, I'll consider some quid pro quo. I'm old enough to remember Obama and his "Bitter Clingers", and never seeing big growth again, and nothing could be done about one-sided trade disputes.

Turned out, previous Admins - not just Obama - had not even been fighting at the WTO for the US. Their CoC-sucker (Chamber of Commerce) masters told them to "avoid conflict and just let China/Korea/Japan/India/EU win".

Enough. I'm glad we have an adult in charge, who was taking steps back when the Media was gushing over WHO's coverup on China's behalf, their opposition to border controls, etc. and the Dems-Media (the same: DemMedia) cheering them on.

If it was long after he closed the border to china, then at that time, advocating going to china town wasn't that much worse than advocating going anywhere else. It was obviously well before we closed everything down. But it was motivated probably as much as standing against the hate as anything. But sure, every bit as ignorant as the kind of stuff Trump say 15 times a day.

If she's third rate, Trump is 100th rate.

The impeachment didn't fail. He was impeached.

"Trump was brought up on charges... and found not guilty"


In a shame of a trial in which everyone, except Romney, voted along political lines. The Republicans had control of Congress and did not care about the law. They would have not impeached him no matter what. They even suppressed witnesses.

Many of the Democrats would have impeached him no matter what, much like the Republicans during the Clinton impeachment.

This whole affair will go down in history as proof that politicians are above the law and that our checks and balances are an utter failure. The best case scenario is that future generations will correct those checks and balances. Expect nothing from the Boomers.

Anything bad belongs to Trump; Covid-19: Biden corruption in Ukraine, Clinton's collusion with Russia, it's all blamed on Trump.

When the economy surges, the Dow soars, and unemployment becomes virtually nonexistent after Trump is elected by a majority of America, they say it is Obama's economy.

This is why Trump has to be very careful what he says. He is constantly being asked, "do you still beat your wife?" kind of questions. The media will then soundbite the clips and make it seem like Trump recommends mainlining Clorox to stop Covid.

It has become clear that the media is merely the mouthpiece of the oligarch plutocrats and has little to no relationship with reality. Therefore it’s worse than a waste of time to pay attention to it: it’s actually making us all less informed.


Hurray! More people are figuring it out!

This is precisely what our "media" is. Remember when we were all told over and over again that "the US has a free press!" - the reason we're told this over and over and over again, is we don't. That was us being brainwashed.

How many RepCons have died in Trumps Wartime Presidency against the hoax virus?
They were all hoax deaths?


I was born in 1971. I knew families that lost people in Vietnam.

Well, more people have died, supposedly, of Covid 19. I don't know anybody who has a family member that died of it.

*Do you?*

We began to have repo bank loan failures last September. Sure is lucky we got this virus "pandemic" that has given the Federal Reserve and Treasury an excuse to "stimulate" our criminal banking system with 4 trillion dollars - directly. That's $11,400 per person in the United States.

This is nothing more than cover for the bailout of the banking sector, AGAIN.

What's True
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is contracted to pay Panthera Worldwide $55 million for 10 million N95 medical masks, which Panthera does not manufacture.

What's False
However, an executive at Panthera said that although its parent company did file for bankruptcy, Panthera Worldwide is contracted with FEMA as a separate legal entity that currently has employees and contractors. Additionally, although Panthera isn't a mask manufacturer, it can broker the purchase of masks.

Everyone with half a brain cell will always remember the seeds of division and hate that Trump has always planted. and nurtured in this country. Most of all since 2017.


Trump didn't plant these seeds. The intelligence agencies did, the US "news" media did, the leadership of BOTH parties did and people like you did.

Oh weren't you all outraged when Trump was caught on audio tape saying that sometimes women would let him touch their pussy because he was so fucking rich and powerful? That's what he said. Meanwhile Biden shoved his fucking fingers up some woman's pussy and there's compelling evidence he did and that's ho hum, who cares. Just the hypocrisy. Trump wasn't even talking about an assault.

Oh and isn't Trump just stupid and dumb! He's so stupid, he has to be removed with the 25th amendment because his brain is rotting out of his head. So who does the DNC make their primary candidate?

marcus says

We CLEARLY have fake news. Remember when Trump tried to pull out of Syria, and BOTH parties were against it and all the media was against it because "we were abandoning the Kurds and they were sure to be slaughtered" - WERE THEY? They even falsified "news" to support this COMPLETE lie:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1UOQSrRPfE

Trump said "the fake news" is the enemy, and all of our "mainstream news" is fucking fake news now. They are propaganda. They will lie in a second. NY Times does, NPR does, Fox does, CBS, MSNBC does - they ALL do.

You think people are stupid not because they are, they are out of the propaganda haze that you're still in. Do you have any idea how much the "news" media lies? I do, they lie about everything. You just don't realize this yet. Next time the media claims Trump said something crazy find the original source of him actually saying that.

Oh, it doesn't bother me. I just don't think of a man who wants to be called Jenny as a woman. Do you?

I suppose if I'm bothered in any way, it's that I feel pity for them. It also kind of irritates me that women no longer have a bathroom they can use. In California it was all the rage to make every freaking bathroom unisex which just means, every bathroom is a man's bathroom. Face it, men are pigs. Go to a bathroom stall in a bar.
