Trump blew it — not the WHO, Fauci or the Jews

One of my few pleasures during the current misery is the Zoom religious service, a weekly chance in my home to greet the Sabbath and to pray for healing.
But some are so sick as to be beyond the reach of prayer — and it has nothing to do with a virus.
Rabbi Jeremy Kridel, whose flock in the capital includes several members of my family, was leading a recent Shabbat service for Humanistic Jews. About 10 minutes into the service, one man unmuted himself and started shouting “Jewish scum” and “Heil Hitler.” Before he could be blocked from the call, he lifted up his shirt to reveal a large swastika tattooed on his chest.
Other hooligans began interrupting, and while the rabbi shut down the virtual service, another man dropped his pants on camera. Remarked Kridel: “This is just another indication of the fact that the current crisis isn’t the only one we face.”

We see the best of America in the health-care workers and first-responders risking (and sometimes losing) their lives to help others.
But we also see the pathologies that have surfaced (or recurred in new mutations) during Trump’s presidency: the scapegoating of religious minorities, attacks on science and scientists, and promotion of globalist conspiracy theories (in this case, that the World Health Organization conspired with communist China to conceal the virus).
This country’s woeful response to the virus has an obvious cause: a president who refused to heed warnings and to prepare, instead offering false assurances while the nation snoozed.
Even now, inexcusable delays limit tests, ventilators and respirators, and even now President Trump resists a nationwide stay-at-home order.
"Intelligence reports warned about a pandemic in January. Trump reportedly ignored them."
"Top health officials first learned of the virus’s spread in China on January 3, US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said Friday."
"Trump Was More Interested in Vaping Than the Coronavirus in Late January: Reports"
"President Donald Trump was warned about the severity and potential calamity posed by the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in mid to late January by the White House’s top public health official, but the president reportedly wanted to talk about vaping instead."
When did China's government warn the US and other nations are about the outbreak of this virus in Wuhan?
Read the articles linked in my comment that you responded to for your answer.
There were news report about it as early as November 2019. Numerous US intelligence agencies had been reporting about it and warning that it could become a pandemic in November and December 2019. The fucking WHO declared it a pandemic in early March and had been warning about it since January.
We knew about it well in advance, but Trump is probably too stupid to understand or care about the information.
News reports that the intel community has denied existing.
"As a matter of practice the National Center for Medical Intelligence does not comment publicly on specific intelligence matters," he said. "However, in the interest of transparency during this current public health crisis, we can confirm that media reporting about the existence/release of a National Center for Medical Intelligence Coronavirus-related product/assessment in November of 2019 is not correct. No such NCMI product exists."
None of what you say is true.
Okay.
I'll say it again, he is the WORST president this country has EVER had
Finally, James Buchanan can rest in peace...
It only took a guy who seems intent on doing a shitty job.
I'll say it again, he is the WORST president this country has EVER had
Ordinarily I might find statements like that to be a bit extreme...but sadly, in this case I'd have to agree with you
Donald J. Trump! Best President Ever!
WORST lying sack of shit that ever graced the halls of the white house
Sorry, I was speaking of the current POS that resides in the white house, crooked lying donnie
"I did not get the memo", Donald J Trump...
"I take no responsibility at all", also Trump.
But it’s painful for some to put the responsibility where it belongs. Christian broadcaster Rick Wiles, therefore, took a different tack. He blamed the Jews.
“God is spreading it in your synagogues! You’re under judgment because you oppose his son, the Lord Jesus Christ,” he proclaimed on his TruNews platform.
This is the same Rick Wiles who in November called Trump’s impeachment a “Jew coup.”
And this is the same Rick Wiles whose TruNews outlet was granted press credentials by the Trump administration to cover the World Economic Forum in January;
Wiles stayed in a room booked by the administration.
So what else is new? In the 14th century fifty million people died from the Bubonic Plague known as the Black Death. The Jews were blamed for it
Democrats wasted December, January and February (3 Months) on "Political Wishes" !
What could have been, if they had concentrated on CV19 possibilities in this country "INSTEAD" !
They would have watched McConnell and Trump block anything they tried. Plus Democrats can do 2 things at once.
What was Trump and the Republicans doing during those same months????
They "Tried CV19 worry stuff" besides "Impeachment" ….. when ?
"Plus Democrats can do 2 things at once."
Apparently NOT !
Did you notice the "Dates on Impeachment" ?
Right when CV19 Started, and when it really started really Growing in this country !

Whining about the impeachment process, holding rallies, and playing golf
cue Nero on his fiddle
What was Trump and the Republicans doing during those same months????
Probably indulging in their own personal "pandemic"... i.e. their own out-of-bounds loony "HDS" ("Hillary Derangement Syndrome").
Or maybe "WGHDS" ...?
(That's " W arren G amliel H arding D erangement S yndrome"... for all you Home Gamers! . . . I wouldn't put it past them!)

Are you completely ignoring the second question????
Crooked donnie and the republicans can't walk, talk and chew gum at the same time
Apparently they can do even more !
Have you ever listened to the "Greatest" Presidential candidate the Democrats have been able to put out against Trump ?
"We are….ummmm…..Free to …… ummm….. CV19 shoulda been stopped …….. eeerrrrrr…… Unchain the "Blacks"..... well ……. And, in addition to that, in addition to that we have to make sure that we, we are in a position that we are, well let me go the second thing, I've spoken enough on that.
God Bless America !
Democrats wasted December, January and February (3 Months) on "Political Wishes" !
So you agree ?
So you agree ?
Tell me, ME-- question for ya:
What time does the balloon go up?
It's so much fun to watch the "Stumped"....try to "Do Something" more !
Well, ME.... funny you should mention that!
From the seeded article:
Others follow Trump’s lead in blaming scientists for our woes.
As The Post first reported, the government had to step up security for Anthony Fauci, the top infectious-disease expert at the National Institutes of Health and the most visible scientist responding to the crisis.
Threats had been made against the 79-year-old doctor, who frequently contradicts Trump’s uninformed happy talk. Fauci has been attacked by pro-Trump outlets such as Gateway Pundit and American Thinker, which labeled Fauci a “Deep-State Hillary Clinton-loving Stooge.”
The dark-web conspiracy theorists from QAnon and the like do worse to Fauci, a loyal public servant under every president since Ronald Reagan.
Yes . . . since the Great One himself!

Dr. Fauci is also now saying....shaking hands should be a Permanent No, No for the rest of our lives !
Dr. Debra Birx is Also on "The Team" ! She has had a few comments also. Did you forget ?

WTF???
From the seeded article:
The scientists issued a report warning that the virus is “spreading with astonishing speed” and called for governments to “immediately activate the highest level of national response,” including immediate and extensive testing and planning for closing schools and workplaces.
And yet, Trump slept. “One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear,” he said on Feb. 28. He blew it. Not the scientists, not the WHO, and not the Jews.
So Trump isn't the president?
Democrats have dusted off the playbook they used against Richard Nixon. Now that we are embroiled in a war, Democrats must push to make the war unpopular. Democrats are even encouraging their base to essentially burn draft cards and bras. But this time we aren't fighting in Vietnam; the enemy is among us. Those hippie protests aren't quite as safe when the enemy is among us.
Democrats are relying on tried and true divisive politics used against Nixon by alleging conspiracies, cover ups, abuse of power, and mismanagement of the war. Democrats have even gone so far as nominating another George McGovern.
It's deja vu all over again.
If that's an attempt at a personal attack its a pretty feeble one.
C'mon Nerml-- you're going to have to do a lot better than that!
One of my few pleasures during the current misery is the Zoom religious service, a weekly chance in my home to greet the Sabbath and to pray for healing.
But some are so sick as to be beyond the reach of prayer — and it has nothing to do with a virus.
Rabbi Jeremy Kridel, whose flock in the capital includes several members of my family, was leading a recent Shabbat service for Humanistic Jews. About 10 minutes into the service, one man unmuted himself and started shouting “Jewish scum” and “Heil Hitler.” Before he could be blocked from the call, he lifted up his shirt to reveal a large swastika tattooed on his chest.
Kridel was a victim in the new pandemic of hate. The Anti-Defamation League reports similar “Zoombombing” incidents around the country.
Correct Nerm. Same old, same old hate tactics . . .a veritable pandemic of hate mongering style tactics by Trump...and his wacko "base". I think you may have hit the nail on its head Nerm.
Remember Nixon's goofy followers, Nerm?
(Sound familiar Nerm?)
No its not!!!
What a load of crap. And, that is not a question...
Dude, take your meds.
This is so right on! If it weren’t for Trump, no one in America would be sick right now and life would be totally normal.

You should the comment before replying.
No, it's proof that tRump supporters live in an alternate reality bizarro world
Well, some of them anyway:

Things would be better if a lifelong fuckup weren't calling the shots in a life and death situation.
How much better? Be specific please.
100% better.
