... 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.

Lefts selective memory.

It’s like they didn’t give a fuck how much it harms America as long as they could potentially hurt Trump. So fucking asshole!!!

Trump did not back down for being called xenophobic. People have been calling him that from before. I think someone in his team told him how it will affect the economy so he back down. He was supposed to be presidential and take the decision to block all flights from any country that allowed flights from China.

That would have caused huge upheaval in economy but wouldn't have caused the damage we see now. Now the economy is shot and people are dying.

He was supposed to have balls to take that decision. Instead of complaining that he did not get proper data. Just because people were calling it other kind of flu he got discouraged. We all were discussing why there were flights out of China. When they were locking down their own cities.

Just wait until Durham files some charges, then the Left will forget their Bete Noir of half a century, their beloved Watergate. "It's okay for the President and/or his Staff to spy on Political Opponents"

It was all political theater, just the bitter whining of the losing party.

Democrats deserve to keep losing as long as they are for outsourcing and open borders.

Notice how the only word in quotations is xenophobic? This fact should set off red flags in a critical thinkers mind.


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

Seriously, it does look that way.

The economy was just too damn good under Trump and the opposition was getting desperate.

Sure, it's a bit paranoid, but that doesn't prove it's not true.

@Deep_State what do you mean?

Biden literally called Trump a xenophobe for halting flights from China.

The quotes are to show that it's a literal quote of what Biden said.
13   Shaman   2020 Apr 16, 9:27am  

I’ve come to the point where I am firmly against whatever the mainstream media are for, and I will strongly consider the case for whatever they are against.
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. I see Democrats all the time who blithely repeat Leftist propaganda which has zero basis in fact and in fact has been repeatedly debunked by credible professionals. Yet they don’t know any better because of two things:
1)they want to believe the lies because they reinforce their held beliefs
2)they automatically discount any other media source other than the ones that feed them their daily pablum.

These people are living in a fantasyland, but their date with reality is coming.
14   Shaman   2020 Apr 16, 9:31am  

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.
15   Shaman   2020 Apr 16, 10:19am  

Deep_State says
Why do you have such a hard time admitting it's the Republicans holding down minimum wage? Sad.


Because it’s obvious that the Democrats also do not represent the working class.
I really am mystified as you how you see this as a dual choice when it’s no choice at all. Forget cultural issues, what are important are economic issues and there is NO FUCKING PARTY to represent the working class!

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.

Every fact that is reported that he doesn't like is fake news ? The media is the enemy ? The morons don't even understand how little respect Trump has for their intelligence (or lack there of).

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.
20   marcus   2020 Apr 16, 11:49am

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).

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.

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.

If this covid-19 truly did originate in China it's not the first and calling it "Chinese virus" or even "Chinese Corona virus" is ambiguous.


Call it Chi-SARS-CoV-2.

Problem solved, no ambiguity.

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

Unfortunately, the polling doesn't support that, and we're pretty much at the peak.

Or just SARS-CoV-2 and then we have axed the xenophobia too.


Nah, I'd keep the xenophobia. Just like disgust it's necessary in healthy doses.

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.
