... 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.

If you are talking about Panthera, that was FEMA and done following contracting rules. Penthera has until May 1st to deliver, and if they don't they will be subject to a lawsuit for breach of contract. I will admit that FEMA has a history of what I would call bad deals that stretch back over several administrations.

Looks like they weapon was deployed when impeachment failed.


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.

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?

www.youtube.com/embed/oihV9yrZRHg

He's not going to embarrass the United States like TRUMP does! Right?? The media, the intelligence agencies, the democratic party, YOU, are SO FUCKING HYPOCRITICAL

marcus says
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).


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.

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.

It's amazing that the only thing Trump can say he did well was close (partially) travel from China early, and the only thing to hurl at Democrats is that they called out the president for Xenophobia.


The whole thing seems to be a hoax. You know anybody that's died from it? Supposedly more people have died from this virus than were killed in Vietnam. I know families that lost people in Vietnam - I don't know anybody that has lost anybody from Covid-19. Do you? Does anybody here?

ThreeBays says
The latter never seems to include mention that Trump's approach really did provoke hate crimes against Asian Americans.


We all remember the fake hate crimes once he got elected. Remember the Israeli kid that was calling in bomb threats to American synagogues? Remember the "(minority) go back to your own country" hoaxes? They went away after a year because they were clearly hoaxes. Remember Jussie Smollett's "this is MAGA country" (you know, Chicago - THAT'S Trump territory)?

Yeah, the credibility of people claiming hate crimes has gone down quite a bit. And that's unfortunate, as there are real victims of them. Now they are going to be ignored because of liars trying to damage Trump.

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 ?


They way we are divided are among party lines. Beyond that the democrats are currently trying to divide us up by race, by "privilege", by gender identity, by religion, by success, by gender, even by legal and illegal status as citizens.

Why is the United States doing business with a government that employs slave labor, has no real labor laws, that pollutes tremendously, and doesn't give a crap about the environment? How is that "liberal"?

The democratic establishment claims they care about the rights of illegal immigrants - where's a bill even proposed by them that helps them gain legal status? Why don't they at least attempt to change the law instead of just thwarting it? They don't care.

The democratic establishment has complained Trump is crazy, Trump is incompetent to be president, that he's sexist, that he's corrupt, blah blah blah - all of that applies to Biden. Why did they push Biden into the nomination? The guy is a senile old hair sniffer, who is OBVIOUSLY corrupt. He's precisely what they have accused Trump of being.

The democratic establishment is UTTERLY insincere. They are pro war now, they are pro big business, they haven't made any attempts to fix the ACA. What are they running on anyhow? That Trump is a bad man, just like Biden is - their chosen one?

And then they screwed over Sanders again. The only reason there are "progressives" in the party is to keep the real progressives on that plantation. They will never do anything for the progressives. It's more likely that Trump will forgive college debt obligations than they will.

They are totally insincere. Utterly. Back in the days of George W. Bush who lied us into a war in Iraq over a nonexistent weapons of mass destruction program, I was more or less a democrat, because they promised that at some point they'd hold him accountable. Then they put in Obama, forgot about what Bush did, and then HE continued the bullshit "war on terrah".

They are liars. All their stated principles, absolute BS. They are hypocrites of the HIGHEST order.

And if Trump was Bush or Mitt Romney, or that awful John McCain I would just be like who cares?

Trump has spent 3 years just showing how incredibly corrupt our government is. He's been impeached for looking into BLATANT corruption of Joe Biden. Obama spied on him - that's worse than Watergate - NOTHING HAPPENS to these people. Nothing at all. DOJ is corrupt, the FBI falsified evidence to get a plea deal out of Flynn it appears. They used completely and obviously false evidence on a dossier compiled by the FSB and Mi6 to try to take down Trump. They are trying to restart the Cold War for god's sake. They lied about Russian collusion. They got the entire "mainstream media" to go along with this crap.

Trump has done something I've been trying to do since Obama took office - demonstrate to people our government is totally corrupt. Well, Trump is way better at it than I am, and he's exposed just how corrupt it is. I never imagined it was THIS corrupt but it is. Is there a single branch of our government that isn't totally corrupt? MAYBE the Oval Office.

The reason things seem so crazy under Trump is they are crazy, he's just exposing it - and for that, I hold a great deal of respect for him doing that. In order to fix a problem, first, identify the problem. You can't fix what is broken if you don't know what is broken, and boy, are we as a nation F'ing broken.

Yeah, I credit Trump to the degree he's listened to the scientists. He's tried to mix in relating solid guidance with defending himself too much and pandering to his idiot supporters in his public messaging, so I give him 1 out of 3.


Don't you realize how much he's been correct about?

Trump claimed that the Obama administration spied on him. The press called him crazy, he was right.
Trump called CNN fake news. The press called him crazy, he's repeatedly shown he was right. Remember when Russia hacked our power grid?
Trump said you didn't know who was behind the bomb threats to synagogues. The press called him crazy, turned out to be an Israeli kid.
Trump claimrd the Russian Collusion story was nonsense. Turns out he was correct.
Trump said hydroxychloroquine might help with Covid-19. Press called him crazy, turns out he was right.

He's not an idiot, he's a person that is getting inside knowledge. He's not some freaking mastermind, he's got an intelligence group behind him, one that actually tells him the truth for once. How refreshing.

The idiots are people that believe the FIB, and the CIA, and the corporate media. Those fools believe we have a functioning justice system.

He's right about Clinton's charity being corrupt.
He was (now) obviously right about Joe Biden being senile.
He was right about Joe Biden's corruption in Ukraine.

You think a guy that spent his life dealing with the freaking mafia in NYC and LV and a group of freaking corrupt politicians is some sort of moron. He wouldn't have survived this long if he didn't have a group of people that knew what was what. He lets his enemies underestimate him. If you and I go into a negotiation, it is to my best advantage for you to think I'm crazy, stupid, and gullible. That's what you think he is. He's not. It's a facade.

He called the Covid-19 threat "a hoax". I'm sure the disease exists. It seems to be about as dangerous as the flu. Was he right?

Tell me, what do you think he's been flat out wrong about?

He was called crazy not because he made insane incorrect statements, he was called crazy because he made insane correct statements. Your government and the institutions that surround it are just unbelievably corrupt but you still believe in them. It's hard to wrap your head around the fact that our government is nothing but a criminal syndicate, but it clearly is.

When they attempted to remove him from office with this Russian Collusion nonsense, there was two possibilities - maybe somehow it was true, or they're freaking insane to expose how dishonest they are. Well, they're dishonest and apparently insane, stupid even. That's back when I thought there was some sort of functioning justice system - there isn't. This is why they setup Flynn, because there's no threat of prosecution. The courts are corrupt as well. They lied to the FISA courts, because the FISA courts are corrupt and knew they were being lied to. I figured somebody in our "news" media would see the BS and would have to call them out on it, but no, our "news" media is purely propaganda for the establishment. They don't even attempt to be plausible anymore. They are outwardly criminal.

Trump only seems stupid, insane, and idiotic when you think our government and the institutions around it couldn't possibly be this corrupt. Well, they are. I've seen Comey, Mueller, and Brennan lie bold faced to congress. 4 years ago I thought something would come from blatant, obvious lies to congress. I was just naive. Adam Schiff is on teevee saying there's just a ton of dirt on Trump with Russian Collusion - there's nothing, I thought there would have to be fallout. Brennan complains bitterly about how corrupt Trump is, never says anything specific - there's got to be some reckoning - nope.

A group of criminals have been running our nation, and they can slander, libel, and perjure themselves endlessly. They are shameless, and the "free press" protects them.

How can you still believe their propaganda at this point? Find that weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq yet? They murdered between 100,000 and 1,000,000 people over that total lie. Nothing happens to them. They're just mafia thugs and the courts protect them, the media protects them, both party establishments protect them. They are the "mythical" deep state - that Trump is crazy to think exists. It obviously exists.

I've never been in an echo chamber. People argue about the democrats and republicans not realizing they are the same thing. What are the principles of either? In the 1980's the principles of the liberal left was good education, anti-war, non-interventionism, independent and a solid support of STEM. They are nothing like that now, because it constantly morphs. The left and right are simply false dichotomies.

Please don't break up messages unnecessarily.

According to the CDC 62,000 people died of the flu last year.

There's an economic incentive in place to misdiagnose people with Covid-19 - the federal government picks up the tab. The entire economy wasn't shut down due to the sniffles. Something else is going on, in a few months, we'll know. I expect the cost of everything go up, for necessities, not for luxuries.

They would then assume their rightful places as the Virtuous Woke Liberal Arts Major Elite, taking the power away from grubby business people and the unwashed racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic working class masses.

Exactly! The flu is actually the more dangerous illness, it's just that geezers can get vaccinated against the flu but not against CV-19 which is taking out mostly old geezers.
