Feminist ducks.

if they were so smart they'd evolve into male ducks and join the rape team

Quote:

The compilation of clips, selected by the White House social media director, Dan Scavino, attempted to create an alternative history of the first months of the crisis, according to which the American media initially “minimized the risk,” but the president “took decisive action” nonetheless, only to be unfairly maligned by his political opponents, before the nation’s governors came together to sing his praises.

The centerpiece of the video was a timeline of actions by Trump and his administration, highlighting the partial ban on travel from China he ordered on Jan. 31, and his declaration of a national emergency on March 13.
Quote:

But, as the CBS News correspondent Paula Reid pointed out to Trump after the video ended, there was a huge gap in the timeline: it mentioned absolutely no action by him in February and there was, as The Times had noted, a period of “six long weeks” after the travel restrictions until he “finally took aggressive action to confront the danger the nation was facing.”

In fact, the only entry on the video timeline for February — the month Trump held mass campaign rallies and described criticism of his handling of the virus from Democrats as “their new hoax” — was Feb. 6: “CDC Ships First Testing Kits.” The fact that those test kits were defective, a massive failure at a critical moment, seems like an odd thing to brag about.

Well into March, Trump was downplaying the new coronavirus as no more threatening than the flu.
.................................................. ............................................

Here's a MARCH 9TH Tweet from Trump.

Quote:

So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!
What a f*cking loser.

Lucem Ferre 04-14-2020 10:16 AM

Trump got pretty mad at that press meeting.

I respect what she did in the framework of the situation. But otoh when he goes off insulting them I wish one would say you’re a disgusting fat lying **** that should be hanging dead in front of the White House.

It’s hard to balance what I want with what is.

You're really better off just not responding instead of deflecting this hard.

Here ya go.

Switched videos because I didn't want to give views to a Bloomberg channel. Petty, I know.

I think one of the little things that gets me so fed up with the man is that he thinks that his title comes with a predetermined level of respect. The way he said "enough" to that woman was just so rude. He thinks that reporters grilling him is disrespectful but it's supposed to come with the territory. He's supposed to be grilled on his actions. The fact that he thinks everybody should kiss the ground he walks on is disgusting and I know I'm just repeating common ideals and this isn't groundbreaking analysis but that "enough" just boiled me up a bit and I felt like typing this out. I feel better.

Lol what are you talking about. He was grilled like crazy by both the media and Democrats all through February and early March for his decision to stop travel to and from China. And that was their reaction to a good decision that was unpopular. Why should anyone give the slightest shred of sympathy to any media organization? If they really want to talk truth to power, they should try owning their own **** once in awhile. But it never happens.

And that he thinks the president (or federal government) has total authority over the states.

Oh, poor Trump. At least people aren't demanding to see his birth certificate.

Frownland 04-14-2020 10:58 AM

Anyone who isn't a bootlicker: Trump's behaviour during these press meetings is stupid and irresponsible
Bootlickers: But they ASKED him QUESTIONS! What kind of sick bastard asks the godking questions?

My point is that he's in a position that is supposed to be questioned endlessly. He literally signed up for this and he's acting like a father who is being sassed by his teenage child.

You know I'm not a democrat right? I don't choose sides. The dems are not in charge like he is. I don't give a f*ck about what the media or dems are asking him. It's his responsibility to lead this country and all the dude cares about is his f*cking ego.

He's up to bat and striking out and you're f*cking complaining about the other teams pitching.

Lucem Ferre 04-14-2020 11:02 AM

It's really suspect when you're more worried about reporters bullying the president than you are about the president presenting a revisionist history lesson while telling them he has total authority.

Just because he talks **** doesn't mean he doesn't care. If he didn't care, he wouldn't be calling Cuomo in the middle of the night and asking how he could help. That tells me more than him doing the equivalent of a reddit ****post to the media about "I have absolute power over the states" when you know he's just ****ing with them. Show me something other than a "what if" and then we can all scream "authoritariansm111" together.

To be fair, I don't think Trump should be even doing the daily standups. He's not a great communicator for this kind of thing even if he "thinks" he means well. Just let Fauci do his thing. Or hell, bring Sean Spicer back. Just get off the stage unless you can discuss actual policy.

OccultHawk 04-14-2020 11:15 AM

America has handled this worse than any country on earth up to this point. Culturally and politically. From Trump to our local city councils, to our lame ass neighbors who refuse to do something as easy as just staying home. Our petty selfishness and greed from the rich hiding away while talking about opening the economy that only serves them to the poor who can’t even keep six feet apart at the store. And what’s the ****ing motto? We’re in this together. We suck and we’re getting what we deserve. And our failure to even just stay the **** inside and have a government willing to enforce such a simple easy as ****ing **** directive doesn’t just put Americans at risk. By not doing our part we’re a global menace that is hell bent on keeping the virus spreading.

Lucem Ferre 04-14-2020 11:19 AM

But OH, they are just trying to fear monger the virus so they can take total authoritarian control of the country and turn us into Nazi Germany. Next thing you know they'll take our guns just like Hitler did. Hitler totally took away guns from his citizens. That's a total fact not pulled from my ass.

Our response has been ****ing garbage, but your obsession with America dominating the field on garbage responses is just another incarnation of the unthinking nationalist.

Dude, every country responded badly. Every. Single. One. South Korea's own CDC admitted that every citizen is going to get it. People are getting out of the hospitals and then testing positive again for it.

From America to Denmark, we might as well just hope nitric oxide gas or something turns out to be a short term answer. Otherwise everyone's ****ed. Thanks China!

China actually had the courage to enforce their lockdown and the infrasture in place for medical workers to have proper gear and to quarentine people. And they got it by surprise.

And WE’RE under reporting deaths. Most prisons and jails haven’t even conducted a single test.

Ignoring the period of time where China pretended like it wasn't a real thing that ultimately lead to it becoming a global pandemic. Yeah, once they actually took it seriously they did better than we are doing now.

Probably.

People on facebook are spreading conspiracy theories that hospitals are reporting every death as a covid-19 death.

Or that 99% survival rate means it's not a big deal which is also the survival rate for the Columbine massacre.
