BULL FUCKIN SHIT !!! YOU ...***DID*** SEE THE VIRUS IN THE BACK GROUND !! Trump was warned
WE DID KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON !!!
The Doctors lose credibility when they say there were no warnings or anything else that could've told them what was coming.
Bull Fuckin Shit !!!
EDIT: Dr Brix claimed during Putin Whore's presser ".. we didn't see the virus in the background" (sic) as if we can't see the timeline China and WHO was reporting the virus to the world .
That claim reduces the doctors credibility and makes these pressers less than useless now seeing we can count on the professionals to make false statements positive for Trump.

It really is about Trump, because everything that has anything to do with these press conferences is all about Trump. Therein lies the problem.

(4,461 posts)... start asking ridiculous questions just to screw with him.
Are you one of the greatest presidents of all time, or are you clearly THE greatest?
If you had not been dealing with the impeachment hoax, would you have already cured Covid-19?
How many times a day do other world leaders call you just to tell you how much they envy your leadership abilities?
Do you think youre 2021 inaugural crowd will break your 2017 all time record?
I think it would be hysterical.

(10,190 posts)They agreed to back up Trump's bullshit in exchange for a seat at the table. Whether they actually believe they can do more good from the inside, or they're just careerists like everyone else, is still unclear.

(889 posts)Now, we all know D Trump is an awful person, but I dont think he would sell a member of his family! I mean, thats too far, even for Trump...isnt it? On the other hand, he is a sociopath, and there was that time he was on camera with the first lady talking about their son, Barron, and he referred to Barron as she has a son, so...maybe? Damn, you might be onto something.

The first time I shopped for it there were five pump bottles left.
BFS, indeed, uponit! Trump ignored the warnings on purpose, imo.
He doesn't care about the U.S.
He only saw a piggy bank.
The only tool he brought with him was a hammer.

(2,657 posts)In January and February 2020. Per the CNN.com posting on the Washington post article entitled, "Washington Post: US intelligence warned Trump in January and February as he dismissed coronavirus threat"
[link:https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/20/politics/us-intelligence-reports-trump-coronavirus/index.html|]
(CNN)President Donald Trump ignored reports from US intelligence agencies starting in January that warned of the scale and intensity of the coronavirus outbreak in China, The Washington Post reported Friday.
Citing US officials familiar with the agencies' reports and warnings, the Post reported that intelligence agencies depicted the nature and global spread of the virus and China's apparent downplaying of its severity, as well as the potential need for government measures to contain it -- while Trump opted to dismiss or simply not address their seriousness.
"Donald Trump may not have been expecting this, but a lot of other people in the government were -- they just couldn't get him to do anything about it," the official noted to the Post. "The system was blinking red."
The CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment to the Post. When asked for comment on the report, White House spokesperson Judd Deere directed CNN to fellow spokesperson Hogan Gidley's comment to the Post.
"President Trump has taken historic, aggressive measures to protect the health, wealth and safety of the American people -- and did so, while the media and Democrats chose to only focus on the stupid politics of a sham illegitimate impeachment," Gidley told the paper in a statement. "It's more than disgusting, despicable and disgraceful for cowardly unnamed sources to attempt to rewrite history -- it's a clear threat to this great country."

(1,568 posts)I started stocking up on powdered milk, canned goods, seeds for my garden and freezing veggies in bulk back in January. Im a writer in Kansas. If I understood it was coming and going to be bad HOW COULD THEY NOT HAVE SEEN IT?!?
Seriously, Obama would have had missteps as insane as this virus is, but it would not have been ignored and treated as an opportunity for a reality TV show.
