These were the recommendations. But to your typical racist republican idiot such as yourself, all problems are solved with travel bans

If we just keep out the Chinese we will be safe from this scourge. Mentally deficient joker.

Your god trump waited until last week to start ordering equipment. You should be ashamed that you can still point to a travel ban as an effective way to stop a pandemic.

But what should one expect from a republican hick?


They must think you can stop the virus by building a wall tongue
You see why I said you ain’t intelligent. The recommendation was made and he placed a travel ban 2 days later cos he has the sole power to do that even at that y’all called him names.

Even someone with half a brain knows Trump can’t just suddenly and unilaterally appropriate 30billion dollars based on recommendation.

Even in the face of the pandemic we saw how liberals frustrated the approval of funds as palliatives. I don’t want to imagine what y’all would have called him if he proposes such amount in January.

Very long article. This is what you get in the age of trump. Turning an article by non medical practitioners into a magic bullet.

I will continue to say, this is not a movie. This is real life. Its in movies the hero bucks all logic to find a cure or deliver an element in under two hours.

All that has happened is that the hypeman on the white House has given people false hope, because that is all he has.

Please stop this Orwellian revisionism. With all the warnings , was trump not telling us all, it’s just the flu, gone in April, nothing to see here?

If trump tells you tomorrow that he ordered 3m in December you will swallow it hook line and sinker. Down the memory hole.

Do you know why?
During Obama's tenure there was high voter turnout in California especially LA and other major cities due to minorities concentration in those urban areas and I understand why. So the election landscape has been made to favour the democrats for at least the next two decades in presidential elections.

To be honest, no one would have beaten Clinton in the Republican Party except Donald Trump because he came and passed a different message that appealed to a particular democratic voting block though that are not actwually democrats (we call them the Reagan democrats). And they perceived him as an outsider who's not a regular party establishment, a successful business man who would put his business experience in governance.

Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio and the rest wouldn't have hit those punchlines that would have motivated people to come out and vote. They would have pretended and formed political correctness just like Bernie Sanders blew his chance to finish crooked Hillary and grab the nomination when her email and corruption case came out. The same reason he can never be president of any country. He's running a weak campaign, forget his base. He doesn't know how to play the game of politics.


Trump has opened a pathway for republicans to white house so even if California gives the democrats 15 million votes it won't be a determining factor to victory. The founding fathers foresaw this period and created the electoral college vote to checkmate over population in such cities. Meaning no state is more important in presidential elections than the other. Every state no matter how small got to play a role in electing a president, hence the effectiveness of the electoral college.

That's why the Dems don't want sanctuary cities to be closed because those immigrants and aliens make up a large voting block for the them.

Trump has given the republicans a lifeline, they would be ever grateful. No one saw that coming.
The Dems may not get to see the presidency anytime soon due to trump's precedence.
Y0u are very very intelligent. Your analysis is 10000% correct. Am proud of your intelligence

Probably no one can trust trump. The man is an audio president, after all. Its like those scenarios when there is an emergency and every one pushes the vendor/contractor to solve, and once its over, no one is ready to pay


There is also the issue that I'm sure you've read where this administration just started placing orders for ventilators and ppe just a week or so ago. Now they are trying to bully / steal orders that were placed months ago by more proactive nations.


Reminds me of when I was in university. By proper personal planning, I always had a bucket of water ready every morning to have my bath with. One fine day, there was no running water. Everyone was running around, and I was just calmly in my bed.

When it was time for my bath, I found that some arsehile had taken my water from where it was secured in a locker and had his bath with it. Thats what's happening here. Those who failed to plan are stealing from those who planned.


This is capitalism and trump chaos. I have said it repeatedly.

Trump should also be careful. He keeps trying to steal potential vaccines or relief materials. If everyone else decided to play his game things would get ugly.

He failed to learn from the failed China tariffs. Apparently there is woodpulp in the ppe supply chain that is only available in Canada. Also so parts of America are powered by Canadian energy companies. So if trudeau was to play trumps game..

Their being Hilary Clinton supporters may have something to do with it though cos Trump supporters ain't as stupid as those two.
wait for the results of the trials, hydroxychloroquine has benefits, for ailments for which it is approved, it has contraindications too and despite political pressure, the FDA is refusing to endorse it outright for treating corona virus until testing is complete and data collated and that is how it should be. The various doctors endorsing it can be forgiven because of the unique scenario of the pandemic and the absence of other palliatives but tRump is wrong to endorse it prior to the FDA's and CDC's say so.

Yes! There have been rigging in America in 2016 and 2018 thanks to democrats who have taken American elections to a new low. The same people are planning massive rigging for 2020 with drop box for ballots and no Id required vote, sorry it's not going to happen.

Anyone who is too stuppidd to know how to get Id has no business voting in the first place, that's why children don't vote, even though democrats want 15 years old to vote.

Propaganda is all you know, but where exactly do you think that will take you?

Mention just 1 republican governor that's in favor of voting without Id! I'm waiting.

We can't keep quiet and let you turn America into Somalia with your lawlessness, Ok?

The only reason the governor of Wisconsin postponed the election is because Trump endorsed the conservative judge and he went up in the poll. The governor changed the date of the elections immediately after.

You liberals are not only dumb but evil too. Look at all the states you have run to the ground.

Some of you are mere propaganda tools.what is rigging in america??.do you have any proofs to this claim?.
Is it only democrat states they dont enforce the use of ID to vote??.
Why won't you guys just shut the Bleep off and stop ranting what you dont know?.
The other day someone was accusing the Wisconsin governor of risking the lives of his citizens by not postponing the election in his state meanwhile it's the Republican controlled house that opposed it and even took the governor to court up to supreme court.

Is anyone paying attention to the ratio of the famous people with coronavirus? The celebs are even taunting the masses with their Corona typewriters.

What's the odd of Tom Hanks traveling on vacation in Australia with Corona typewriter at the same time is in quarantine when there's no powe outage?

What about Madonna typing like a maniac on her own Corona typewriter in her house in America when there's eletricity.

The celebrities who are sick with coronavirus can't use Hydroxy chloroquine because of the adrenochrome in their blood( it will kill them)so many of them will suffer. Some are already deteriorating because their sources have been blocked by Trump. They said there are going to be a lot of suicides among the politicians and the celebrities. Meanwhile the national guard is testing the blood of the politicians to see how many of them have adrenochrome from some of the rescued children.

When your favorite celebrities start reaping their rewards, know that the universe returns what we put out.

The fact that no one has died while taking the drug as prescribed by a licensed medical practitioner means no death is on Trump. The only person recorded to have died self medicated and abused the drug. Same way People don’t die of Tramadol as a result of Drs prescription except those that abused it.

Gbam. The problem is that Trump's motives are profit and not good intentions. The way he had been marketing and promoting hydroxychloroquine is extraordinary. He is even silencing the concerns of experts on its efficacy and dangers. I had always suspected that he has vested interests in hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine manufacturing firm.

Chloroquine and other quinine products affect heart rhythms and can be dangerous for people with heart problems or hypertension.

How do you know that no one has died while taking chloroquine as prescribed by a licensed medical practitioner. Do they state all the drugs and treatment a dead corona virus had before they died? No one has compiled a statistics of all coronavirus patients that took chloroquine to know how many died.

Some long read.

Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates appeared on Fox News Sunday in which he reiterated his 2018 statement that the world should be “preparing for a pandemic in the same serious way it prepares for war.” Gates, whose foundation -- the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation -- has invested heavily in global health , suggested staging simulations, war games, and preparedness exercises to simulate how diseases could spread and to identify the best response. The concluding analysis, as per the mainstream media (and certain social/ online communications), is that the Trump administration has done exactly the opposite. Among the evidence to prove their argument has been Trump’s cutting funding for the federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention and its infectious disease research. For fiscal year 2020, Trump proposed cutting the CDC budget by US $1.3 billion, nearly 20% below the 2019 level . This is a complete falsehood. While it is true that among the president’s budget proposals was one to reduce funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Congress never enacted those cuts. Some Democrats, such as former Vice President Joe Biden went so far as to say at a CNN townhall on February 26 that Trump “tried to defund the CDC.” Again, President Trump proposed reducing the CDC budget -- some years by double-digit percentages -- not completely defunding it. Incidentally, Democrats, including Biden, have since dropped the qualifier “tried” from their claims, saying that Trump had reduced the CDC funding. On ABC’s “This Week” on March 1, Biden said: “They’ve cut the funding for the CDC.” As late as March 13, critics kept accusing that Trump did away with the “ Pandemic Response Team” in 2018, which would have prevented the COVID-19 altogether. The anomaly in this is that there was no "Pandemic Response Team." While failed presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg said that Trump had “fired” the government’s pandemic expert Rear Admiral Timothy Ziemer, in reality, he voluntarily left the National Security Council (NSC) after then-National Security Advisor John Bolton was appointed. Not to mention, as U.S. State Department Peter Van Buren points out, that Ziemer was only a bureaucratic coordinator on the NSC, originally a George Bush anti-malaria appointee after his naval aviation career, with little real-world pandemic experience. In fact, Ziemer’s duties were reassigned inside the NSC to a new biodefense directorate . A continual criticism against the Trump administration, especially from New York governor Andrew Cuomo, is the botched production of ventilators. This failure, in fact, took place under President Barack Obama just after the H1N1 pandemic. It had been assumed that about 70,000 ventilators should be stockpiled, but due to a failure of oversight by the Obama administration, the project ultimately produced zero ventilators. Last year the Trump administration approved a new design to kickstart the project, with deliveries to start in the summer. The New York situation has been the point of reference to accuse Trump of being incompetent in handling the crisis. It should be pointed out that Governor Cuomo, after learning in 2015 that the state’s stockpile of medical equipment had 16,000 fewer ventilators than New Yorkers would need in a severe pandemic, could have chosen to buy more ventilators. Instead, he asked his health commissioner Howard Zucker to assemble a task force and draft rules for rationing the ventilators they already had. Cuomo also recognized, but failed to do anything about, a shortage of masks and other protective gear. On March 6, as reported by CNBC, weeks before Trump raised the issue, Cuomo stated that people were stealing the equipment out of hospitals in New York. “Not just people taking a couple or three, I mean just actual thefts of those products. I’ve asked the state police to do an investigation, look at places that are selling masks, medical equipment, protective wear.” There is, however, no evidence that he or the police ever followed up, directly resulting in a shortage today. In any case, notwithstanding the praise Cuomo has gotten in taking on the pandemic, he continues to pursue $2.5 billion in Medicaid cuts to NY’s hospitals alongside limiting their expansion to save more money. That will end up being a lot of ICU beds missing if needed. Bill Gates complimented China for reducing its curve, though this is, at the very least, contested due to the Xi regime’s persistent non-transparency. Whistleblower doctors have either been censored or disappeared so as to hide the apparent truth that actual coronavirus infections and deaths are tens of thousands more than reported. In other words, Gates should know that the China’s response to the COVID-19 seems extraordinary only because the CCP officials are the ones doing the telling. Gates also indicated that the American government was unprepared for the coronavirus pandemic, despite a Johns Hopkins 2019 study that ranked the U.S. the best-prepared country in the world to handle such a pandemic. If there is someone to blame for all this, it is China. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) did its best to make sure that its virus would spread to the American homeland and the rest of the world. As reported last Saturday, approximately 430,000 Chinese nationals flew on direct flights from the city of Wuhan in the Hubei province to the U.S. since Chinese officials first disclosed the outbreak of the coronavirus to world health officials on New Year’s Eve. The New York Times reported that most of the travelers flew into airports in Los Angeles, San Francisco , New York , Chicago, Seattle , Newark, and Detroit in January. The Times did not account for travelers who did not fly directly from China and may have come into the U.S. on a connecting flight from the country -- on January 31, the Trump administration suspended entry into the United States by foreign nationals who had traveled to China within the last 14 days (excluding Hong Kong and Macau). The idea that a global pandemic is "not anyone’s fault" is unthinkable, and President Trump is a ready foil, as Van Buren stated. The Democrats and media have spent three years seeding our thoughts that Trump is deadly and must be removed from office. They were unable to get him on the Mueller Russiagate or the Ukrainian quid pro quo , so now they are grasping at the coronavirus, despite not having their facts straight once again.

Bernie Sanders Drops Out Of Presidential Race, Ceding Nomination To Biden

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/bernie-sanders-drops-out-democratic-race_n_5e683928c5b60557280d408f

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) ended his bid for the White House on Wednesday, effectively handing the Democratic nomination to former Vice President Joe Biden and ending hopes that a progressive challenger would take on President Donald Trump in November.

Sanders announced the news on a conference call with campaign staffers.

Sanders was seen as a front-runner in the Democratic race, surging to the top of the polls before a series of poor showings on Super Tuesday and subsequent primaries. After a series of big losses to Biden, all campaigning virtually ground to a halt due to social distancing restrictions put in place to help ease the strain of the coronavirus pandemic.

Many leading Democrats and onetime candidates had thrown their weight behind Biden after ending their own bids, including former mayor Pete Buttigieg; Sens. Kamala Harris (Calif.), Amy Klobuchar (Minn.) and Cory Booker (N.J.); and billionaire Mike Bloomberg. The support for his competitor left the Sanders campaign reeling with limited options to secure enough delegates going into the Democratic National Convention, which was delayed until August because of coronavirus.

Biden had pitched himself as the most electable candidate, and polls showed that Democrats were, indeed, primarily interested in finding a candidate who could take out Trump ― even if they didn’t agree with that person on every issue.
