    this is why it's hard to take you seriously....

    do you think that you are the only one to seek or gather news from different sources? seems a bit condescending to me and it doesn't help when persuading other to your point of view....

    The truth lies somewhere in the middle, always.

    Containment is more important than testing. What's testing do other than tell you you've caught a virus no one knows anything about? Containment is what matters, and that was what Trump tried to do first. And he was called a xenophobe for it.

    Britt Hume tweeted last night, to the effect that Trump's actions regarding CV have been the right things to do, but his statements have not inspired confidence. I won't disagree, but that kind of fits with how I've felt about his presidency from the beginning. Don't judge him by what he says, judge him by what he does. If everyone applied that, not only to him, but to all politicians, Trump will get reelected and Congress will look very different next year.

    People do get hung up on words, especially presidents.

    No but I find the absolute refusal to see anything wrong with Trump’s actions (except his excess tweeting) more than frustrating. Rather than dispute the facts I provide with my opinions I find most attack the sources or me personally. It becomes obvious that most aren’t interested in learning or discussion so if I seem condescending there’s a reason.
    Right now rather than respond to the points laid out in the article you attack me for how I prefaced it. Really?

    It could of probably been done better, if you saw what was happening in the airports it was a disaster. But I don't know of any good way to do any of this. I absolutely hate Trump, but I don't know if anyone could do this right. Democrat or republican, this is all new for everyone.

    It is hard to set down the swords in our political atmosphere, and this has hurt us here. Both sides are guilty for this mess if it goes medieval, not just congress or Trump. Its both of their faults for not being able to work together in our time of need. Fuck the politics, fuck the spin. That has been what I am saying, a pandemic is not political.

    not an "attack" but an observation....you incorrectly assume much: "eventually the facts will get out"

    please advise from which news sources i can access the facts that haven't gotten out yet
