Dude,

We have four years to go until the next election. I don't know who yet, but I'm willing to bet it's not him. He's going to be so engrossed trying to save his ass and crumbling empire from other stuff that he won't have the time or interest in running. He won't see it as in his interests to run. And if there's anything Trump cares about, it's himself. I think it will be some other white male who may have a white female on the ticket. But more than that, with four years to go I'm giving this a rest for awhile. I look forward to January 20th and a new start!

Dude,

The Republican primaries are about three years away but the selection process began even before the 2020 election. You can give it a rest for a while the others will not, as soon as a president is sworn in the talk of the next election becomes the focus, its reality TV.

Fauci is the one who said there was no need for masks. You completely leave out that Cuomo, the NY governor who showed "great leadership" in the press, sent Covid 19 infected patients back to nursing homes leading to a huge increase in deaths.

Then you have Democratic leaders time and again showing rules for thee and not for me as they broke their own rules when it got in the way of their life styles. The Democratic leadership spouted off "science" at every turn as if the scientists on their payroll had all the answers.

In the mean time, Peru enacted every single one of the measures these so called "scientists" called for and they have if not the highest close to the highest death and infection rate in the world. Yale did a study as to why that is (not that any of them could go there and study it for real) and pretty much declared that Peru and Peruvians suck and listed a bunch of Democratic talking points like the health system does not have enough government workers. I am not sure what that has to do with a virus spreading but whatever.

The irony about all this was the rallying cry "Stay safe, stay home" was probably the biggest joke of all as 74% of all Covid cases are spread at home; https://ny.eater.com/2020/12/11/2216...-data-new-york..

With regard to Fauci and masks, you're leaving out the fact that this is a "novel" coronavirus! That means that it's new, and we're still learning about it to this very day. In the very beginning, the experts were thinking that there wasn't human to human transmission. So no masks required. But when it was discovered that not only was there easy human to human transmission, but that people could be asymptomatic and still be shedding the virus, then yes the strong call for wearing masks and social distancing was made. So yes, Fauci did change his position on that. But his recommendations aren't just based on how he feels or something. They're based on science. And as the science and knowledge around this virus grows and develops, so too will the recommendations from the experts like Fauci, who are going to help mankind control and beat this scourge. Be fair. Doctor Fauci is just a man. A very smart man, but still a man nevertheless. He is still learning how this virus works just like everybody else is.

I knew about it, as did anyone who consumes news from legitimate sources. There has always been knowledge about how other countries and regions are doing regarding covid. What rock have you been under?

The blame correctly belongs to our Phatass Orange incompetent leader.

He lied to the public for MONTHS switching between calling Covid a hoax and a virus that was going to magically go away with warmer weather.

He slow-walked aid to the first affected blue states and has left the US with a void in leadership regarding proven spread reducers, like wearing masks.

Meanwhile, gyms were shut down and a whopping 0. 06% of all cases were found there.

I presented time and again the notion that nobody knows nuthin' about the virus but the Dems (or dums is more like it) had all the answers. It is a fucking cold virus with no cure. Why the fuck does anyone think they have the answers for any of this? If a country did not get swamped with the virus, they were likely more lucky than good.

I am not upset Biden won. 2005 and 2013 were years when the incumbent won re-election and the government went nuts as if it had four years where it had nothing to worry about, and I personally thought that Trump was better for the country but Biden may be better for me.

But now that Trump is out of office, I guess the virus is old news or more likely it will not be reported on the news.

Trump is out of office, and the media is still blaming all the ills of the world on him. I wonder how long this blaming shit is going to last.

The idea that if we had a Democratic president the virus would not have been as deadly may be the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life.

I suspect Trump delayed a host of legal problems by becoming president. Self pardon remains untested in the supreme court.

That's why I expect the Phatass will go for the sure thing:

Resign shortly before January 20th and receive a full pardon from Mike Pence.

I think Barron Trump's new school in Florida comes back from the holidays on Monday, January 11th.

[Golfinho]

I thought that was true for most residents of China, Taiwan and Hong Kong?.

Naturally you might think that if the only place you've ever been is Tijuana.

Wanna bet? There is a poll out that shows the majority of Repubs support Trump or want him to be their canidate. If not him then who?

Not going to happen. You heard it here first.

The GOP simply has no one who can or will stand up to Trump, they are all afraid of him which is one of the primary reason the odds are in his favor to be the nominee again in 24.

After the way the Democrats National Committee annointed their presidential candidate the last two go-rounds, it's understandable you've forgotten there's such a thing as a primary election where, you know, the voters choose a candidate.

And if the GOP is stupid enough to make Trump their nominee in 2024, then he will lose again by an even wider margin, like 14 million in the popular vote, which will add up to a landslide electoral vote loss.

Losses all over the place! Including the election itself. And if the GOP is stupid enough to make Trump their nominee in 2024, then he will lose again by an even wider margin, like 14 million in the popular vote, which will add up to a landslide electoral vote loss.

Shhhh!

Don't tell those fools that.

Best they stay in their blissful, dark dreams.

[ScatManDoo]

Unable? How about by rotten teeth, bad haircuts, ill-fitting and cheap tacky clothes?

I thought that was true for most residents of China, Taiwan and Hong Kong?

Or by seeing which ones are spitting, smoking, screaming and shouting at each other?

Same comment again, no difference.

And of course by getting a sight of them table cramming food into their gobs.

That's how you spot the Americans everywhere.

[ScatManDoo]

The people of Taiwan actually did a much better job at handling the virus than their cousins on the mainland PRC, but you wouldn't hear about that since the WHO is bought and paid for by the PRC.

I knew about it, as did anyone who consumes news from legitimate sources. There has always been knowledge about how other countries and regions are doing regarding covid. What rock have you been under?

But again, it's far easier to say "Orange Man Bad" and not lay blame where it belongs

He slow-walked aid to the first affected blue states and has left the US with a void in leadership regarding proven spread reducers, like wearing masks.

He conducted superspreader rallies and events in battleground states that he lost, and at the White House, which he also lost.

He has kneecapped the CDC for at least five months as he has brought them to near silence when when should be guiding the public.

But worse than all of that, and very stupid and sinister, he has been encouraging and condoning civil disobedience and violent attacks against some state leaders for taking measures to slow Covid spread in their states. It is fucked up to not only fail to give leadership, but instead leave state to fend for themselves, and then work against what they chose to do.

Trump governance = Shit governance.

Der Spiegel declared. To make matters worse, Biden and Harris were named Time Magazine's person of the year.

These magazines weren't taking any chances it's a small window before this duo shows its true colors. What's taking these magazines so long to give them their peace prize? Better hurry like the committee did giving Obama a Nobel.
