Our government as whole is ineffective and woefully slow to implement anything… and anything that is implemented is laden with special partisan interests
More from the perverted democrate agenda every day ,all day from perverted liberals . .24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
GOD ; do not be promiscuous, do not cheat on your spouse . No sex with same sex .
Liberals ; have sex with everyone and any one . #26Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
GOD ; don’t fool yourself the sexual immoral won’t inherit eternity .
Liberals ; hate speech !!!!
@LadyDulcevida If Bernie were elected president our hardships in this state of emergency would rapidly become our hardships in everyday life. Socialism doesn’t work sweetie.
That’s why we need socialism. We need to give our ineffective government more control over our lives! — sarcasm.
@VIRTUAL REALMS the goal of socialism is communism . Vladimir lenin
Fareed NEVER minses his words .. I LIKE THAT IN ANOTHER HUMAN ..BE SAFE , FAREED ..
he only minces his numbers when trying to explain why america cant afford universal healthcare but Canada can.
“minces”…just sayin
@Linda Scott perhaps you should take heed instead of trolling?
@Linda Scott Here is a prophecy of our time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvzZ56ZbWy8&list=WL&index=27&t=0s
@Connor McGregor Oh really? So what’s the reason why most Canadians pay for anything beyond the basics out of pocket… or else come down to the states to get procedures done in a timely fashion? My relatives living in Canada know the answer, do you?
I don’t know who is more at fault, Trump or the Senate that keeps him in the w.h.
You’re fat, Nora.
Actually, I think it’s the Dumbocraps fault!
Lol. There just had to be that one liberal dumbass who missed the whole point.
@Bace tell you what…blow me & I’ll forget about your ignorant post…
@OMGWUNSIU No, that’s your mother’s job, Inbred.
Elect a clown, expect a circus.
@William Kamroon you are really desperate to blame trump. Look at the facts instead of listening to pelosi.
@Gary Rosie that hellhole made your phone, shoes, cloths, your car parts, everything in Walmart, etc
@William Kamroon that’s why he moved to Florida. He knew it would be bad in New York. All the while calling it a hoax
Hey bud I think you missed the point completely
saintbees LEADERSHIP: whatever happens, you’re responsible. If it doesn’t happen, you’re responsible.
Nov. 8th 2013 TRUMP’s tweet to Obama
So YES, TRUMP SOLELY BEARS THE BLAME by his own words
U.S. needs to learn to take care of itself! Stop using China, make it here. Trump is a hoax!
Dee Dee after this I will go out of my way to avoid buying anything made there. I also don’t want to shop at these corporate stores. Effing slave masters everyone of them
0:20 INCORRECT. Those Americans who haven’t seen the reality of our failing president yet will sadly never do so, even during this mounting coronavirus crisis.
@saintbees Handling the pandemic in any capacity
@Jessica Cook all you said was your opinion, which is worthless.
@Vince F you are deluded. What misinformation?
@Ford Brasher suppose you tell everyone what trump should have done.
“It’s easier to fool people then to convince them that they have been fooled.”

@Kevin Meiz did you even read Mueller’s report? The trump tower meeting was nothing??? The plea to “Russia if you’re listening” didn’t give you pause? Because later that day emails were dumped. He believed Putin over the 17 Intel agencies….the media is reporting the numbers of what is happening and his own words! What is it that you don’t get about Trump’s pathological lying and ineptness?

@Christine B. Would that be the Mueller report that had to clarify that Trump being a sitting president actually made no difference in their not being able to find a crime to indict him of? You mean Trump joking ON NATIONAL TV is evidence of his being a SECRET Russian asset? 😂 You mean Trump didn’t believe the intel agencies that the FISA court just got done demanding be investigated for misleading it to get illegal warrants to spy on the Trump campaign? THOSE INTEL AGENCIES? Holy smokes sweetie, pull your head out.
@VIRTUAL REALMS I wish I could bury my head in the sand, but I’m an American and I must keep fighting the good fight! God Bless you and your family!

“…largely because of the ineffectiveness of its government.” TRUTH.
The USA has been this way all along. Millions of its people in poverty.
Socialists are so cute at this age.
The US electorate put this grifter in office, let them lose their souls.
Washington: “I can’t tell a lie”
Nixon: “I can’t tell the truth”
Comrade Trumpkov: “I can’t tell the difference”
Me: 🤦🏾♂️
@John Swo Delayed response? Trump was the first G7 country to impose a travel ban on foreigners from China and quarantine on our people coming back from China. Biden said that was “racist.” That’s the only reason we’re the last G7 country having to deal with the pandemic. He bought us time. Of course, where are the hotspots in the U.S. now? In blue states and cities where libitards refuse to heed any warning about social distancing. Go blue, get the flu.
Rodney Boehner
I don’t mind Trump, but the facts say you’re misguided and wrong on this. Read below for the facts and to see why:
December 1, 2019:
Date of the 1st known Covid-19 patient.
January 3, 2020:
The CDC is first alerted to a public health event in Wuhan, China (This fact was revealed publicly later by HHS Secretary Alex Azar.)
January 6, 2020:
The CDC issues a travel notice for Wuhan due to the spreading coronavirus.
* Note: The Trump campaign claims that this marks the beginning of the federal government disease control experts becoming aware of the virus. It was 10 weeks from this point until the week of March 16 when Trump began to change his tone on the threat.
January 8, 2020:
The CDC issues an official health advisory about COVID-19.
January 10, 2020:
Former Trump Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossert warns that we shouldn’t “jerk around with ego politics” because “we face a global health threat…Coordinate!”
January 18, 2020:
After two weeks of attempts, HHS Secretary Alex Azar finally gets the chance to speak to Trump about the virus. The president redirects the conversation to vaping.
January 20, 2020:
First U.S. case is reported in Washington state.
January 21, 2020:
Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease at the CDC tells reporters, “We do expect additional cases in the United States.”
January 27, 2020:
Top White House aides meet with Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney to encourage greater focus on the threat from the virus. Joe Grogan, head of the White House Domestic Policy Council warns that “dealing with the virus was likely to dominate life in the United States for many months.”
January 28, 2020:
Two former Trump administration officials—Gottlieb and Borio—publish an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal imploring the president to “Act Now to Prevent an American Epidemic.” They advocate a 4-point plan to address the coming crisis:
* (1) Expand testing to identify and isolate cases.
* Note: This did not happen for many weeks. The first time more than 2,000 tests were deployed in a single day was not until almost six weeks later, on March 11.
* (2) Boost flu vaccination efforts to reduce the load on hospitals.
* (3) Prepare hospital units for isolation with more gowns and masks.
* Note: There was no dramatic ramp-up in the production of critical supplies undertaken. As a result, many hospitals quickly experienced shortages of critical PPE materials.
* (4) Vaccine development.
January 29, 2020:
The New York Times reports that “mask hoarders” may cause further shortages when the outbreak reaches America.
January 30, 2020:
Dr. James Hamblin publishes another warning about critical PPE materials in the Atlantic, titled “We Don’t Have Enough Masks.” At the time, it was clear that mask shortages would be a serious problem. Other countries coping with COVID-19 were already running short on masks and ordering them from America and, in addition, almost the entire CDC stockpile had been consumed during the 2009 flu season.
January 31, 2020:
Trump puts into action a temporary travel ban on China. This decision has been the centerpiece of his claim to have responded to the coronavirus. But even here, the truth is somewhat different.
* Trump’s Chinese travel ban only banned “foreign nationals who had been in China in the last 14 days.” This wording did not—at all—stop people from arriving in America from China. In fact, for much of the crisis, flights from China landed in America almost daily filled with people who had been in China, but did not fit the category as Trump’s “travel ban” defined it.
January 31, 2020:
On the same day Trump was enacting his fake travel ban, Foreign Policy reports that face masks and latex gloves are sold out on Amazon and at leading stores in New York City and suggests the surge in masks being sold to other countries needs “refereeing” in the face of the coming crisis.
————-
So Dec 1st 2019 was the date of the 1st known patient, and Trump imposed his fake China ban on 31st Jan 2020 (that STILL allowed infected people from China to enter the US)… so that’s 62 days of failure & in-action to protect Amercian citizens from a known deadly virus which has resulted in thousands of Amercian deaths as a direct consequence of his ineptitude to lead in this Pandemic. Again, I don’t mind Trump but facts are facts and sadly he’s failed all Amercian’s here, in fact that’s too light a comment given the gravity of the situation, Trump’s failure to act is beyond abhorrent, he has failed America when they needed him the most, many could call this the ultimate betrayal of a President.
Rodney Boehner Ebola under OBAMA = 12 deaths and NO travel ban.
Corona under Trump = 2,000 deaths (and counting) with a travel ban.
And YOU blame everyone but TRUMP? Sir YOU ARE NUTS
William Kamroon yup, true and totally hilarious…keep it up, we need the laughter.😊
Trade war also contributing on the short supplies on US medical equipments and raw materials to make medicine.
A President who accepts no responsibility, and thinks he is doing a perfect job is a President that needs to be fired. He accepts no responsibility because he believed this Pandemic was a hoax. He believes he is doing a great job because he is the Greatest liar since SATAN His mentor, and person he gets his bad information from!
Trump is Anti-Christ.
@Selecter jd trump is methodist or Episcopal.
Mr. Trump’s constant spewing of lies, anger, hatred, misinformation and defamation suggest the life of a psychotic is not a happy one.
“Like South Korea, Taiwan, and Germany. (And Canada.) What do all these democracies have in common: A single payer health care system.
John Van Dyk Sure, I’ll agree to single payer……. but only if every Federal, State, County, municipal employee, every teacher, police officer, firefighter, union member, nurse, politician, etc. have it also. Do you think that would ever happen? Never, thus it will never happen……
Medicare for all Bernie said
They replied that’s socialism
what do you think Your social security number/card is for? !
the money you paid to the pension over all those years, that the republicans like to steal.
One of the two Americans I have heard who makes sense. The other is Adam Schiff.
Adam Schiff makes sense if you accept that every other word he says is a lie.
Trumptards: coronavirus is a hoax!
Me: how do u know it’s a hoax?
Trumptards: because our lord trump said so! Duh!
That would be terrible… let us know if it ever happens outside of your fever dreams.
I refuse, I REFUSE to refer to Donald Trump as “Supreme Leader”!!! I don’t care what he demands!
“Trumptards”? Did you make that up all by yourself? Or do you just copy what you hear like a parrot and then follow your herd like a sheep? Any original thoughts or do you just have childish worn out rhetoric copied from other sheep? BAaaaaaH! Me like Bernie! BaaaaaH!. Guess what? Bernie got Bern’d.
I noticed you didn’t mention who created all of the virus we have had since 2009. Why? You know who created them right. Or should I say who has a patient on them right?
@Charles Styron No but I know about this! https://www.hopkins-cepar.org/on-alert/two-different-drills-with-two-different-goals
“I take no responsibility at all.” — Trump telling the truth for once
right, its time to to listen and respect all of our white house experts and stop spreading fear! shut up and support all america. fear creating news should be prosecuted. stick to all for one , one for all.
Drink more kool-aid Watch a trump rally you’ve recorded. You’ll feel better
J shoff 👈🏻TRUMP DOESN’T SUPPORT ALL AMERICA……‘IDIOT’🤪
He did omit “Never have, never will”.
@LadyDulcevida also they need to go to a yuuuge Easter Sunday service maybe in a stadium yes
This was the most intelligent, reasoned thing I’ve seen all day.
You need to get out more… perhaps spend that time taking a statistics class and then watch this report again. It’s much more amusing that way.
I’m sorry
