Both Republican George W Bush And Democrat Barack Obama expressed the need to make America less vulnerable to a pandemic like we have now, this was one issue both parties could agree on. Both made efforts to coordinate with states regarding logistical issues with medical supplies and streamlining the flow of medical information between states. Enter Donald Trump, and one of the first things he did was to ignore these studies, thinking "he alone" could knew better how to handle things, as well as cut funding for the center of disease control, dismissing it as "the deep state" as well as dismissing COVID-19 as a "hoax" True to form, all the Republicans under Bush who once supported making America more prepared for a pandemic, now march in lockstep with Trump's "hoax" message - And look where we are now.


@mchill

Nice, so you are saying this is simply an establishment thing. I would not be surprised if GW was funding it too, but Obama was definitely funding this.


@Eladar
Perhaps you notice TRUMP is POTUS now and however C19 came about, devious plan, from bat guano, we have to deal with the present day, not your stupid strawman.

Trump killed the pandemic response team in 2018, do you deny THAT?

Trump farted around for 70 days before he belatedly started taking C19 seriously. Do you deny THAT?

Trump said anyone who wants the test gets the test. Do you deny that?

He said well 15 today, zero soon, so we are doing a GREAT job. Do you deny that?

Trump is playing politics with PPE, giving them to republicans and denying them to democrats, do you deny THAT?

The medical and intel experts warned Trump in JANUARY. Do you deny that?

Trump hardly EVER listens to experts. Do you deny THAT too?

News is out today that Trump was warned repeatedly about the threat of this new virus as early as middle of January.
He repeatedly disregarded the warnings even up to end of February when he was still blathering on about the number of cases going from 15 to 0, as if by a miracle.
His advisers finally got some sense into him by mid-March.

Trump received numerous wake up calls. And he kept hitting the snooze button.

When you start another useless thread, the least I can do is to put something worthwhile into it.

Just goes to show who is to blame for this. It is the US establishment along with their chi-com buddies.

What do we have as a result, an excuse for the government to take away individual freedom and increase surveillance.

We are the puppets they are pulling the strings.


From cellphone tracking to drone eyes in the sky, perused health records, and GPS ankle bracelets, an epidemic of surveillance-state measures is spreading across the world. It's all done in the name of battling the spread of COVID-19, of course, since every crisis is used to justify incursions into our liberty. But long after the virus has done its worst and moved on, we're likely to be stuck with these invasions of our privacy—unless we push back, hard.

Do you really think a Trump administration is going to change what is in store for humanity in the future ?

Do you complain when you have to pass through a metal detector before boarding a flight ?
Having cameras in public everywhere ?
That is a consequence of human social and technological advancement.

You won’t lose your freedoms when Biden is elected president.
Except perhaps your freedom to overturn Roe v Wade and same sex marriage.

btw, in your diatribe, you forgot to mention humans having their DNA taken as soon as they leave the womb.
Scary world, isn’t it ? 😛

Please run that by us again ??
Who is to blame for Trump not responding to the advice of his own team when he was given the warning in January ??

Hey !! This is your dumb ass thread !!
I’m just trying to knock some sense into it.

I guess this thread got overlooked.


@Mott-The-Hoople
From your post:
"The first, that he "cut funding to the CDC," is partially accurate; Trump tried to cut the agency’s funding, but Congress prevented it from happening. On the second claim, while saying Trump "fired" the "Pandemic Response Team" is a stretch, it’s true that National Security Council staffers left abruptly in 2018 and were not replaced." Abruptly left. So you were there when they were kicked out?
