Do all those people and industries have to wait for the President to get on the case? I know it is too difficult for most folks to read the Constitution, but a quick perusal of it, or even a studied one, would not find that the President has the responsibility to fix the problem, nor even much, if anything, to do with it.
But, of course, you compassionate Progressives have a different understanding. For you, he's the guy. A great Progressive like FDR, or LBJ, or Obama would have seen to it that we probably wouldn't have had more than 10 or so cases of the virus, if any, by now.

That’s too funny! Nobody blames Trump, if they do, they aren’t thinking clearly. I do blame him for the misleading and contradictory comments, that puts his Classic Trump spin on things, it’s so wrong to contradict your own science experts. But when you think you can bomb hurricanes and think global warming is a hoax, he just can’t help himself.

Nobody blames Trump,
I didn't say that anybody did. I didn't even mention him.

Trump’s on camera behavior this week is stunningly disturbing and that’s with a history of chronic facepalming.

Trump hasn't nailed anything, since the last stripper he rubbed his orange face against.

For the sake of discussion, provided we can have a civilized one, if the POTUS did nor more about the virus other than some constitutionally contrived action on borders and incoming bans, would we all be at the mercy of the pandemic?

Sure Jim,
Once again you prove that one should never argue with a moron, they bring you down to their level and think they have bitchslapped you, and demonstrate their belief that anything worth reacting to is worth overreacting to. Anyways in your case, I may have been wrong about your mama and the truckstop but you give me plenty of cause to believe you have a tangled family tree.
Your paranoia is showing.

I said you insulted the mans children. You just proved me correct.
All you did, all you ever do, is show that (1) you’re obsessed with trump, and (2) consumed with hatred for everyone who doesn’t feel the exact same way as you, you constantly lie and claim that anyone who ever says anything positive about trump, is incapable of criticizing him. When in fact, you are the one that simple minded who can only see things one way.
i’m a fellow of the casualty actuarial society and graduated phi beta kappa and cum laude with a degree in math from uconn. if you ever want to take an iq test against me, let’s do it. you still claim that kids in cages is a trump invention not an obama invention. The proof is there, you just aren’t capable of processing anything which doesn’t make trump look awful. you backed yourself into a corner on this issue, and instead of saying what everyone knows ( that obama built the cages and used them), you went after my mother. again, that says nothing about me, and everything anyone ever needs to know, about you.
you’re a warped, thoughtless, hate-filled coward. the only person here who thinks i’m a moron, including those who disagree with me, is you. only you. but you have problems with everyone. so either you’re the problem, or everyone else is. You tell me which is more likely.
I’m the one who is paranoid? you blame trump for everything from the chicago fire to the current stock market plummet . Everyone admits is because of corona virus, only you said it was evidence of lack of confidence in trump. only you go to that ridiculous extreme.
but I’m paranoid, not you. right, right.

Just how did I insult his children, by asking Why post a picture of your children?
I can see how he insulted mine, but I know better and I'm not as unstable as you.
You are the easiest Magae to wind up and watch lose his mind.
As an aside I hear that many people say that PB said: Sir...I'm hearing that the newest version of the Chinese made MAGA hat - not only has a tin foil liner for avoiding the truth, but also has been upgraded to protect from all pandemics.
You better upgrade.
But I do believe that when the story is finally written, we’ll come to understand that tens of thousands of lives were placed at risk because of a political decision made by PsychoBozo to attempt to save the worlds oldest bullmarket that had been on life support for the past couple of years.

Or, if the liberals here could show a tiny speck of consistency in terms of what's tolerable, you and I wouldn't be having this conversation. So maybe you can tell me why the conservatives are the only ones who ever get called out? Generally speaking, I could care less what one tin-foil-hat-wearing kook says. His comments about my mother got under my skin (my bad) because we almost lost her last month, but that worked out fine.
I'm asking why the liberals here, apply such ridiculously different standards, in terms of what's tolerated? As the most rational liberal here (which isn't exactly stiff competition, but I do know how smart you are), perhaps you could offer an opinion as to why that is?

For me, it is because I don't read Pete's posts, even before he was on ignore. He and I probably agree on a lot, but it gets old. As far as why they called 'conservatives' out, maybe it is bias, but go look at the shear volume of posts that are insulting vs content... it sure skews one way vs another...

i concede that if you ignore the liberal posts that are insulting, that it appears that conservatives have a monopoly on being insulting.
we can raise the bar...

I only ignore one poster officially.
I basically ignore the two posters on the right that just post insults and snark.

Give me a break. You constantly insult liberals here. You always have and continue to. You just can't help yourself - as evident by the dig above. You start by commenting on the issue and then start with the "liberals this" and "liberals that". And that is why I've said you're an angry person.
Would you want you kid(s) seeing your posts here?

you specifically said you don’t care what pete posts. so why do you care what i post or Dangles? Why do you only care what the right leaning folks post? very curious to see the answer to that.
my kids are young, so no, i wouldn’t want them to see what i post here. but i like buffalo wings and don’t let my kids eat that. i like watching Better Call Saul and dont let them watch that. some scientists feel that children and adults are different.
you’ve tried many times to say i’m angry and constantly insulting. not close to true. i don’t know that i’ve ever insulted anyone here off the bat, i don’t do that. if someone repeatedly refuses to support a claim or answer a question, then yes.
again, it’s only a character flaw to you, when conservatives behave this way.
if i let my 8 year old here for ten seconds,,he’d see thy hypocrisy.

You would think this was the Onion
Ahead of coronavirus spending bill vote, GOP FL Rep Matt Gaetz is sitting on the floor, wearing a biohazard mask
Congressman Gaetz was informed today that he came into contact with a CPAC attendee 11 days ago who tested positive for COVID-19.
Gaetz was on Air Force One with Trump roughly an hour ago.
I guess we could just quarantine all the republicans who were at CPAC.
In a moment of irony, Mitt Romney is safe.

Great interview asking if anyone coming in under the new travel ban can bring in the virus and Trump being unable to not lie and spin, claims everyone coming in is tested and of course boasting about the outstanding testing in place. You red hat boys still defending him, still going to say how well this administration has handled this, even when the science experts tell congress the testing has been a failure. The economy is headed for the toilet, we are sheltering in place guarding our TP supply and Trump keeps lying and spinning to keep his 2020 run alive. He and this administration is a joke.

Trump* tweeted another but Obama pile of baloney
“The Obama White House had to immediately issue an apology for Joe Biden’s remarks, and any alarm that he might have caused, an alarm about a Swine Flu outbreak that took 6 months for President Obama to declare a National Emergency, and that killed 12,000 Americans.”
Lies again
H1N1 was first diagnosed in US April 15, 2009.
CDC activated emergency operations April 22.
1 million tests released by May 15.
Prototype vaccine completed by end August 2009.
477 people in US died from H1N1
