I didn't vote. If I did, I would've voted for Trump. Going back to that time, I just thought he was a less crappy candidate than Hillary. Wasn't really bc I thought Trump was some amazing person worthy of being in charge.
We'll never know how Hillary would've handled it, and even with as poorly as Trump has, I'd probably be terrified of what Hillary would do as well. I think she's absolute scum, but lately Trump has proven to be just as much of an *** as well.
I really don't want Trump or Biden leading us next, as I don't think either is a good candidate. Trump for obvious reasons, and Biden might forget where the White House is on day 1.
No idea how it can be so difficult to just get 2 worthy candidates to run lol.
If I could choose, I'd rather mud wrestle with Arod and Stanton

Not true Jorge. Many inside his own administration were screaming for action. He ignored and denied, essentially dismissing their warnings as an over reaction.
The real failings began much earlier, in April 2018 — more than a year and a half before , Covid-19 began it's lethal quest, the Trump administration, with John Bolton at the helm of the White House National Security Council, began dismantling the team in charge of pandemic response, firing its leadership and disbanding the team in spring 2018.
The cuts, coupled with the administration’s repeated calls to cut the budget for the CDC and other public health agencies, made it clear that the Trump administration wasn’t prioritizing the federal government’s ability to respond to disease outbreaks.
Isn't that sweet? But you made sure to come in today, with full on judgment and a holier than thou attitude as if you are, so very above it all and wish us a happy easter;.
Bad news. We all have this side. Even you. At least we aren't afraid of it. Actually. when it comes down to it, I'll wager most of us get into heaven before you. We are honest.
Did you know in the Chzek republic, men bearing switches, come to the doors of women and hit them with the switch until they give them their basket of eggs?
No one in the govt prioritized the response to any outbreaks. Why did no one else in the govt Block trump from doing those moves if they really happened ? I mean all if his other moves were blocked by either congress or judges in court . And why did no governors take it amongst themselves to prepare for any pandemic ? Especially cuomo , his state has the most people entering from other countries and he did nothing to prepare for this pandemic . My point is that yes I already know trump did nothing to prepare for this pandemic , but he wasn’t the only one who knew a long time ago that the US was very vulnerable to it .
I do and you are certainly correct.

For the first time in history there is a fully signed Presidential Disaster Declaration for all 50 States. We are winning, and will win, the war on the Invisible Enemy!
Is it me or is there an inherent contradiction here. Disaster declaration----->We are winning. :confused: All this winning, not sure if I can endure much more!
What the **** are you talking about?
Civil war
Ww1
Great Depression
Ww2
Spanish flu
Cuban middle crisis
Cold War
9-11
2008 collapse
Those are just off the top of my head
Trump is just a very big tart Ed human
He is horrible in this crisis
He is a floating orange turd.

A Biden campaign insider tells me Amy Klobuchar is leading the potential VEEP field right now ... with Kamala Harris, Gretchen Whitmer, and Tammy Duckworth all among the top contenders.
Imo Stacey Abrams should also be on any short list.
Also would like to see Katie Porter get an interview, straight shooter, no BS.
Come on Clown. The world was still active. Everything has stopped. You are telling me during the Civil War the Country was on a lockdown? The only thing close was the Spanish Flu.
Basic life still went on during the other crisis you listed.....
2008?
Laughing my *** off.
Nobody stopped and stayed home for 30 day periods. This current crisis’ magnitude can’t even be touched by those other crisis.
Even during both World Wars life still went on in the USA.
Show me anything on your lists where everything stopped around the Country because of that particular crisis.
Again, Spanish Flu is about it. And I’m not even sure how the mitigation was throughout the Country during that event.
The Covid 19 infection rate and mortality rate are not at all comparable to Spanish Flu. The economic comparison you make does not take several things into comparison. One, today segments of the economy continue as with today's technology people can work from home. People can order items and food and have them delivered in a major impossible in 1918. Manufacturing continues with automation. Today local economies are supported with public assistance, unemployment, and other safety nets and social insurance not available in 1918. Also there was a ww1 going on in which an additional tens of thousands of people were being killed per day in Europe. I would guess things were much worse in 1918 by a huge factor.
If you are talking only economics,
Look at the WWs. The economy suffered until the Pres put things into order.
Also the Great Depression? That was fairly significant
World economies have suffered many times. We never see it. We are number 1. This shows we are not. Our president shows he sucks.
I had so many friends who supported Hillary and I said Trump would beat her. This was in the GOP primaries. They laughed at me. "you have no idea what you are saying!" (My wife included)
The all I heard was "how did this happen?"
All I could think, because I didn't want to say it was, "I told you exactly how and why it would happen but you were too in your own azz to listen"
Clintons slogan " I am with her " was stupid. Her failure to campaign as much as Trump was stupid, she ran an awful campaign. Trump showed determination, grit, and his MAGA slogan was very effective. She was a terrible candidate. Her choice in running mate was awful too. She needed a partner to make up for her lack of grit. She was a terrible candidate. Also Bernie Sanders and his supporters didn't rally to her. But anyway, that is what happens when you underestimate your opponent.
Clown, basic life has stopped.
Literally has stopped.
What have you done in the past 30 days besides grocery shopping, getting gas or takeout food. Thst is all I have done.
Life was not this bad during WWll for people who were still in America. And any other crisis...
Yes, but that was not the question, I answered. I answered what was worse the pandemic in 1918 or the pandemic today as far as damage to the economy. Which is why I said that the damage was way worse in 1918. Thank you, your point also strengthens my point. But you know what and I may not know, the answer is the presumption you made that medical treatment is so much better in regards to a new influenza virus. We have ventilators which we did not have in 1918. We have medications that alleviate the symptoms. But each new strain of a flu we pretty much don't have a treatment until vaccines are developed after the fact, right ? We have a generally healthier population but that is what is so scary about a recurrence of a flu. It can wipe out thousands or millions despite our advanced medications. It can still happen like 1918 the next time. We can't be complacent or over confident because our medical system is more advanced then in 1918 because these new virus are always evolving THERE ARE ALSO many virus that have not yet, transferred from other birds and animals to people. A new strain of flu can leap into our species from anywhere in the world at potentially any time. Last few times from China. Next from geese on the Great lakes. Or a chicken farm in Arkansas. What else is terrifying is from our farms that continue to use antibiotics bacteria become resistant to our known antibiotics and we suffer from bacterial infections with no treatment. Imagine that scenario? I think this whole thing is the planet giving us a warning. The Earth has an eco system and it may be defending itself from the damage we have inflicted. The Earth can unleash virus, bacteria, and fungal attacks on us that can wipe us out and the Earth won't miss a spin. It's not like we have been the stewards of creation as we were supposed to be in Genesis.
As many times as you suggest Democrats suck.
The dude deserves all the criticism he gets. He's the leader of this country and leader of the free world if you take into account that America is still far and away the biggest economic superpower. His (along with others) ineptitude and inaction has caused the deaths of thousands of people.
