I truly love everyone who is jumping on Trump about timely response to Covid-19.

Obviously, most of you have never been in an Executive position where you must make hard decisions and the evidence is NOT all on one side. When everyone is saying one thing, those are easy decisions to make.

But when you are hearing from supposedly the best advisors in the country and the world, you probably will go with them.

The WHO and Fauci were both saying there was no huge problem during the entirety of January. Fauci even said on Feb 29 that the risk of Covid-19 to the American people was still low and there was no reason for people to change their habits. The WHO only declared a public health emergency on January 30, primarily based upon cases in China.

Everyone is jumping on Trump based upon the advice of Pete Navarro....who did give a warning on January 29, but obviously it was HIS opinion, He was the Director of Trade and an economist.....yep, I guess we should have taken HIS opinion over WHO and Fauci....Apparently some in this country will take the advice of their auto mechanic when it comes to their brain surgery......

Hind sight is always 20-20. Those who criticize Trump...who are mostly on the left....have they looked at the response of their OWN politicians....don't forget Nancy Pelosi, in late February, was encouraging everyone to come to Chinatown in San Francisco for Chinese New Year celebrations....that sure was helpful in containing the virus....

If Trump had prematurely shut down the country, everyone would have been all over him for screwing up the economy. He was trying to be careful and cautious moving forward. But he did initiate travel restrictions from China on January 31.

So after the fact, it is so simple to point to mistakes. There were some made, I will admit. But I didn't have to make those tough calls with countless advisors preaching multiple sides of the issue. But where were the Democrats in January? They were trying to impeach Trump. I sure don't remember seeing blogs here saying we should shut down this site, since contacts are being made from here....and we will die if we contact each other.

After the fact, we get things correct 100% of the time....much harder when the bullets are flying to make the tough choices....

Most of us have become too tribal, unwilling to see things from a different point of view. There are several issues we can not even have conversations about anymore.

It will be a while before we know enough about this virus to know what the best course of action would have been.

If you haven’t noticed by now, hear this: politicians care only about their personal agenda. Truth or what is good for the constituency has no bearing on what they say.

If they tell the truth, it is purely coincidence and has no relationship to conscience honest monologue.

That's why you don't pick someone without experience. Trump doesn't have a plan. Stop making excuses for an incompetent president!

when obama was going thru his virus issues...i didn't make one comment about it.

i didn't really care...i was too busy getting massages and playing poker (yes, both of em)

i only started caring and waking up, once i opened my eyes to how corrupt the left and media have been with hollywood sprinkled in to tell us what we should be doing.


would rather get back to my selfish life again, but the stakes of this country and world order need to be navigated by people that love this country and not getting their family enriched from political influence...like clinton and biden and even obama(see where his money is going to be coming from over the next 10 years)

Wish we all could have intelligent dialogue and debate over the critical issues facing this country.

But alas, the media is totally biased...on both sides, right and left. Solutions to the problems of this country are not black and white, right and left......there are lots of middle grounds that no one wants to move to.

I think we talk at each other vs. to each other. There's a reason why God gives us two ears and one mouth.

I enjoy guys coming here beating their chests and regurgitating their side's talking points. Such loyal, obedient subjects.

All this reasonableness is completely unreasonable, dammit

You must crush your enemies and hear the lamentations of their women

Drop a dime on them to the mask police, at the very least!

C'mon guys, where's the fun in getting along and singing Kumbaya?

This is so disappointing
