    Absolutely. Tourism and trade take a hit, an overdue stock market correction takes place, but life stays relatively normal. We get to laugh at all the other countries coming apart at the seams. We then get to focus all of our energy at the damage Jimmy Lake continues to do this program and bitch all summer long. Sweet, blissful normalcy.

    And in this scenario I get to wipe my ass with something other than leaves and McDonalds napkins.

    I seem to remember that the attack on Iran was just to distract from impeachment. I wonder what shutting down the country during impeachment would have been met with?

    Maybe he shouldn't have engaged in activity that got him impeached.

    Watching all of the medical news relating to the novel coronavirus as well as the analysis of it in the media, it’s rapidly becoming clear that this was going to wind up being a no-win situation for the White House.

    We can start with the MSM coverage that Donald Trump has received in terms of his response. The common theme we’re seeing this month is that Trump failed to act soon enough, leading to more deaths and illnesses than we might have otherwise experienced. Of course, most of this criticism is coming from the same media talking heads and Democrats who initially called Trump’s travel ban on China and other potential sources of infection a racist, xenophobic exercise. There are hilarious supercuts out there of people at CNN, MSNBC and op-ed writers all talking about how the flu was worse than the Coronavirus. You get the idea.

    So no matter when the President began taking action, it was either going to be too soon and for the wrong reasons or too late, demonstrating a short-sighted lack of leadership. And most in the press have now demonstrated that they are perfectly capable of coming down with amnesia and forgetting how they downplayed the danger of the virus themselves well into February.

    The President is a bumbling idiot, so no matter what he does he will look like an idiot.
    That a yes or no???

    Answer is yes.

    And fuck the MSM idjits.

    Getting elected President is the activity that got him impeached. It was a 100% certainty when the Rats took back the House.
