@Harriet03 Obami I guess left us with empty shelves. Yeah, prolly should have restocked. Pretty sure Nancy wouldn't bring that funding to the floor. And governors of all stripes failed to stock up at all!
WTF does this have to do with politics? Why is EVERYTHING here used as a platform to attack the party one doesn't support. It's really pathetic.
That being said, Covid19 is a HEALTH crisis. It's over when it's over. Not when Trump wills it to be over, not when Democrats want it to be over, not when it's convenient for US for it to be over.
@sunsporter1649 One of his lines I remember, just SO John Wayne - 'Hold on there Pilgrim. You're gonna,.. find yourself toes skyward,... with a spear in your gizzard for a tombstone.'

Really dude, really? Thousands of people have died, and are still dying from this virus, and all you care about is some kind of "conspiracy" against Donald Trump to prevent him from being reelected.
@SW-User Rose! I thought you left! Of course I have compassion! And, I have hope for better days!
Ya know why? Cuz Trump has been doing a great job. And no matter how many sad sacks I might run into - I know this gonna get better - sooner rather than later. And the economy and jobs will bounce back, even you might feel happy, and in November! We can start another 4 years!
@SW-User They are haters of the left, and bow down to their master....trump. Sad isn't it. They can never say what good trump has done, but they sure diss what other administrations have done. I think they are scared to death Trump will get beat come November. Then watch the crap that will spew from their mouths then.
I predict that the president could defend Nazis, sleep with porn stars, order children separated from their parents, use racist language in a daily basis, refuse medical assistance in a health crisis, preside over record unemployment, lie repeatedly about anything and everything, fire a military hero for protecting his sailors—and still count on the support of evangelical Christians. That’s what I predict.
@Budwick I have good news for you. The first quarter stock market decline was the largest in the history of the stock market (fact). Recent weekly unemployment claims have been at all-time record levels (fact). And COVID deaths in the US are second only to Italy (fact). Your man is WINNING the first two and so close in the third.
@Harmonium1923 Harmonica - you may not have heard about a virus that shutdown the nations economy.
Trump is doping a stellar job in protecting US citizens. His actions, especially early on may have saved tens of thousands of lives.
The stock market and unemployment are course victims of the virus too. There's nothing anyone could have done any better than Trump.
Fortunately, the market and employment were at all time highs when the virus came along. That will help everyone weather the storm better than if say a president were to give up and claim that lost manufacturing was the new normal - and would need a magic wand to fix.
So, don't go there Lefty. This thing is drawing to a close. And when the country re-opens - stand back and watch in awe as the economy comes roaring back.
This is not a Republican or a Democrat virus. It doesn't care what side of the aisle a person is on. It's about American...again AMERICAN lives at stake. Trump can rant and rave and propose a shut down, but it's up to the medical field to tell us when it is safe to go back to work, etc. We are all in this together and we will come out of it when it's time, and not one second before, no matter what the president says. And it's not up to Trump to open up a state, it's the governors, and when their people are still dying, they will do what's best for their state and their people.
inoticed that the MSM is making things worse. it is all in my opinion propaganda. I contact my son in Europe who seems to know the real truth. this is part of a political stunt of the MSM to make it look bad until elections. do i think we have problems still? yes, but i will never know the truth from our media
Why does there need to be negotiation to save American citizens? Well, not like Benghazi saving citizens, but saving them health wise and economically?
Obama s payoff - excuse me stimulus paid off auto worker unions. And a small failing solar company that declared bankruptcy on their way to the bank! And, let's not forget about the high speed rail system!
Not a bunch of positives reinforcement among the comments here, bud. People are sick. People are dying. The virus doesn't care about whatever the person who actually wrote that, or you think about what the timeline is. It's going to continue to infect, sicken and kill anyway. And until there is a proper handle on this thing, it would behoove everyone to listen to the experts. (Trump is no expert)
@Budwick What we hear from Twitler isn’t hope, but bullshit. The reason people aren’t reassured is because Twitler has no credibility outside of his cult. A cult member like you considers him to be the voice of God, while the rest of us are hearing the lies of a desperate man who wishes he could close his eyes and make everything return to normal just because he wants it to.
This is what happens when you elect a TV game show host who has never been told the word “no” in his entire worthless life.
@Budwick Listening to you, it's obvious you consider Twitler to be the Second Coming of Christ. Maybe the First Coming; the Gospel of Twitler seems to have replaced Jesus for your crowd.
How are we supposed to “reopen America” when the virus hasn’t peaked yet? Also, Twitler didn’t “close”America, so he can’t “open” it either. People will go back to their prior activities when they feel safe doing so. Just saying everything is OK doesn’t mean anything to anyone who isn’t a cult member.
Where do people get this info I have not heard one thing about this being close to being over in fact it's the opposite events are continuing to be canceled ect seems to be getting worse to me not better
@JeanAnna I don't really know him well all I'm saying is you both have a right to your opinion there is no need to curse and down one another if you don't agree with each other that's fine that's how it works but it's no need for name calling
@Tracos Is that the story that actually occurred in May of 2016?
Although, I DID hear about Bodies that families don't claim within 14 days of death will be catalogued and interred in a mass grave site on a Bronx island. A decision made by LOCAL authorities.

Bit early to talk about normalcy surely with deaths still rising. Are hospital admissions reducing significantly day on day? Are icu bed requirements reducing significantly day on day?
Wuhan was locked down for 11 weeks and the Chinese managed a slower trajectory of infection earlier in the process than most other countries (South Korea the outstanding exception to that and Germany the best Western example of a lower trajectory currently).
@questionWeaver nope and why no one is actually facing facts. Go read the reports at https://www.imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-infectious-disease-analysis/covid-19/report-9-impact-of-npis-on-covid-19/ Esp table 4 in report 9
Normal will mean for another 18months potentially relaxation then lockdown, relax, lockdown etc.
We're getting close to and will easily overtake Italy in number of deaths. That doesn't sound like much of a victory. Unless you were wanting our country to have the highest number of cases and deaths. Then sure thing, bud, America #1 at that. Can't really call Trump's actions a victory yet as the pandemic is currently ongoing. We do not know when it will stop and what your stance in politics is has literally no impact or bearing on what's going on in the grand scheme of things. But yes, continue to politicize it like the party sheep you are.
all this political hatred is diverting important energy from the stuff that matters most: getting the country and the world towards health again.
how about we all start listening about the people who actually know what they are talking about... the real doctors... not the spindoctors who will twist every fact to political gain...
with every talking head on tv just ask yourself: is he an expert in what he/she is talking about? what are they trying to achieve? what facts are they basing their statements on?
and most important: is it true and is it friendly?
Gee whiz gentlemen. Let’s have a moratorium on this stuff. Let’s set an example for those crummy politicians everywhere and all work together to be safe again. @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow @sunsporter1649
😄 No political bias in this post LOL ! Those evil Vampire Democrats lusting to drain the life blood from the "Chosen ones" Argggg! Yummy. If it wasn't for those evil screecher's, complainers, and whiners, women still wouldn't have the right to vote, no child labor laws, no safety laws in work places, no 40 hr work week, no vacations. When they drop dead at their work stations just toss the bodies out the window to the pile. "All men are created equal" (that includes woman too, oh yeah, and non whites" 😳 well most men, at least some, I guess. "Sir, may I have more gruel ? 😈 MORE ? after everything I have done for you, you want "MORE" ? We didn't get to choose our parents, before we were born, to make sure they were wealthy. "I didn't have it easy, it was only a SMALL "LOAN" of, a meager, $1 mil. (Cheap sob's), "We love our Hispanic's", points to Hispanic man, "Tell me, which do you like most, Hispanic's or the Country?" (Rally in NM). How dare any of any of you ingrates die from COVID-19 after I proclaimed that it wasn't a problem. LMAO 😂. Atta boy Bud 👍️
@Budwick Aww, your butts still burning, just like Trumps, because Obama humiliated him at a Grid Iron dinner at the WH about his "Birthers" ignorance. Waaay back in 2011.
@Budwick Thanks, you too. Some how the Universe will survive long after Trump isn't the center of it, hard to imagine while we are sitting here in Trump Utopia. Will he be having another egg hunt this year ?
I'm sorry if you were misled. I did not mean to imply that the President took time to administer to the sick people. I though it would be obvious that doing that would be a total misuse of his abilities. Especially, with all the great, talented people on the front lines working so hard!
No, I was referring primarily to his early decision to instate travel bans from China. Other countries delayed - to their peril.
Does that help? Now, you can return to your regular programming!
@Budwick I certainly don't blame Trump for this pandemic, but I have found him to be slow to react to it. To be honest, I don't envy him one bit, if he acts to save lives, the virus may be around much longer than need be, if he opts to get the economy going again, people will die. Either way, Trump will have to answer for his actions.
Interesting that Trump said yesterday he was sending medical personnel military into hospitals in New York. Probably to make sure it is over and not drawn out longer. A lot of f*ckery going on in some areas.
Return to normalcy, IMO, will involve jumping through hoops for ALL businesses. Restaurants, for example, will have to purchase a LOT of advertising SHOWING people the safety precautions they are taking...menus will have to be shortened and tables moved 10 feet apart. Waiters and waitresses will have to wear masks and gloves until a vaccine is invented.
Businesses that are open right now are taking precautions, learning as they go. Work stations at least 10 feet apart...masked and gloved workers everywhere.
My cousin called me last night and her son in law may have been exposed, even though his business is SUPER careful...people speak to one another through closed doors...but he let a co-worker into his office, and then at the end of the day the co-worker said he felt as though he needed to be tested...and went to see his doctor. My cousin and her daughter are waiting right now to find out if my cousin's son-in-law needs to quarantine in his own home.
So...trial and error...trial and error. It will look like that.
room101 · 46-50, M @BlueMetalChick Yes I do know sunsporter. And horacegreenly and jackjohnsonjnr. All a bunch of morons that sing from the same dumbass hymn sheet. Just like this idiot here.
I sometimes wonder if they're not all the same guy. Or trolls who don't actually believe the crap they post but do it to wind people up. Or bots who are programmed to sow discord. Sadly, however, I've come to the conclusion that they really are part of the 35% or so who support the BIG orange moron and actually believe in that crap.
Budwick · 61-69, M @room101 TIP: Go with Door #3
You’ve admitted that you’re just an idiot bot, so take your BS prediction and shove it where the sun don’t shine.
Talking to yourself ? And back to the memes? See you’re one of the few that I thought was I intelligent enough to have moved past that now you’ve proved me wrong (@Jackjjacksonjr]
@jackjjackson Son of a,.. How'd you do that? Wait - since we're allegedly the same person,... Wait again - you have a tickle on your nose - I gotta sneeze!
I agree JF, all of us raising the level of social discourse here is a good way to spend out locked in the house time. Today is a good day to start. I will do my part.
