The President—make it Trump, Hillary, Obama, a Bush, whoever makes it more interesting—on January 1 was given an exclusive premonition of the COVID future. Only the President has seen or can see this dire prediction. The President goes before the country and proclaims:
  • All International air travel closed to non-US citizens
  • Borders closed
  • Cargo ship crews quarantined
  • US citizens abroad may return but will be quarantined for a month at a secured military base
Do you get on bored with that?

    no.

    expand that to be Dec 1, 2019 after he listened to his intelligence memos warning him in November. That is kind of like a premonition to the press

    still no.

    Knowing what a colossal clusterfuck this is now...NO.

    At the time, these two:

    All International air travel closed to non-US citizens
    Borders closed

    We? are US citizens. Fuck those on the outside. We? can get turned away at international borders with impunity. So fuck it if that hurts some ChiCom feelers and changes their vacay/infection plans.

    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.

    No, but thank you for taking the time to format your post with a bulleted list. Your efforts won't go unnoticed.

    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.

    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.

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

    This is what would have happened. The dems would have sued in Hawaii and had a Hawaiian federal district court issue a nationwide injunction halting the national border quarantine. Just like they did when Trump limited immigration into the country from designated failed Islamic States because we couldn’t vet the immigrants. In this case, most RINOs would have sided with the WHO, the chicoms, Dr. Fauci, the CDC and NIH that this was not supported by science – which at the time would have been true as the chicoms weren’t telling the truth and Trump would just have been speculating.



    You can say the same thing about 9-11. If on September 1 Bush had issued a ban on every single Muslim men from traveling on airlines or be subjected to a full body search for weapons – the dems would have taken Bush to court and got a travel ban injunction.



    This is easily predictable. Not one leftard will have a rational response. Leftards don’t do rational.



    Look, the current dem response is that Trump was incompetent and that what the nation needs is Slo Joe who is bought and paid for by the chicoms. Like they actually care.
