How so?Is this what you think is your only chance....trashing Trump....who is the only motherfucker in DC actually doing something about it....and just maybe you might be able to get your dementia patient back in the White House?Seriously? This is the guy who is supposed to be the great white hope to take down Donald Trump? Biden is an imbecile. This man has been all over the place.
First, back in February he called Trump's ban on travel from China xenophobic. Then three days ago he reverses course and says he supports the travel bans. This morning he says that the travel ban should have been faster because 45 other countries had already done it before Trump did. That is patently false. Then at the end of this same interview he says protecting borders doesn't stop viruses.
He's had several interviews lately where he has stumbled like this. The man simply doesn't have the mental faculties he used to. If I were the DNC I'd tell him to stop doing these interviews and just ride it out until the election. Let Trump stand or fall on his own sword.
Yes seriously, this article is from ALMOST A MONTH before Trump enacted the ban on non-citizen travel from China
Countries ban recent travellers from China over coronavirus fears – Business Traveller
A growing number of countries are imposing travel bans on foreign nationals who have travelled to China recently due to the coronavirus outbreakwww.businesstraveller.com
Ummm...... I'm going to cut you a break because I know you suffer from a slight case of mental retardation, but your article is from February 4th. Trump banned travel from China on January 31st.
Actually BIden is closer to being correct than you are. The U.S. ban did not go into effect until February 2nd, didn't you bother to look that up?
Proclamation on Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Persons who Pose a Risk of Transmitting 2019 Novel Coronavirus | The White House
The United States has confirmed cases of individuals who have a severe acute respiratory illness caused by a novel (new) coronavirus ("2019-nCoV") ("the viwww.whitehouse.gov
Sec. 6. Effective Date. This proclamation is effective at 5:00 p.m. eastern standard time on February 2, 2020.
This link lists the dates that travel bans went into effect for various countries:
Travel Restrictions on China due to COVID-19 | Think Global Health
A new global tracker mapping the impact of the new coronavirus on movement around the worldwww.thinkglobalhealth.org
I am counting about 38 countries where their travel ban went into effect before February 2nd and an additional 12 countries that went into effect on the 2nd. Considering our time zones trail most of the globe and if you want to get technical it's safe to say those 12 countries didn't wait until 5PM Eastern.
Also, Biden didn't call the travel ban on China xenophobic but the labeling of COVID-19 as the 'China virus".
For you I wouldn't worry about how many days there are in February if you can't even get the most basic of facts right in your OP.

Neat, huh?
Know what I find fascinating! That your guy was AGAINST the travel ban, and that YOUR people in congress got over 200 votes to overturn the travel ban.
In other words------------>If Democrats were in charge and had their way, the travel ban would either have been put in much later, or possibly not at all! And yet, you and your friends come in here and criticize the President over when the ban went in, while your side fought him tooth and nail to stop it from taking affect?
I would be hanging my head in shame for your side if I was you! The whole bunch of the Leftists got everything bassackwards, but the person who got it correctly you demean. Why do you think most thinking people are breathing a sigh of relief that you people aren't running the government, Trump aside?
All of you can talk all you want about Trump, but your side hasn't gotten ANYTHING right in almost 4 years now. And the person who is your presumptive standard bearer? Why, he can't even put 2 coherent sentences together!
We know exactly why your side fosters hate filled propaganda. You have to deflect from your policies because they are LOSERS! You need people to vote AGAINST someone; even if that person is in their own best interest, so you need to foster HATE! Most Americans are smarter than that! You just don't happen to be one of them.
Trump got one thing half-right (40,000 American residents traveled to and from China since the ban)and ten things wrong (everything is under control, this is hoax by Democrats, going to disappear by itself, vaccine perfect tests available to everyone, let’s get churches packed for Easter).
If that’s your definition of getting everything right then you simply don’t know right from wrong and success from failure.
And just you wait for the cluster fuck that stimulus implementation delays will cause.
Now that is funny! There are degrees of correct, yes? 40%, 50%, 75%,. Your people said, "there was no problem" while Trump was sounding the alarm.
By my calculation, that is 100% WRONG! In fact, they doubled down and tried to STOP what he was doing to save Americans, including Joe Biden.
So call me dumb, but I will take a 50% correcter as opposed to a 100% wronger every damn day of the week, and twice on Sunday!
Trump DID NOT sound the alarm for virus spread in the United States, instead taking up the Denier-In-Chief position, consistenly staying behind the curve of evolving pandemic for at least a month....untill ofcourse he declined to take responsibility for ANYTHING and simply proclaimed that he always knew it was a pandemic.
You can put all the lipstick you want on this pig, but US now leads the world in infection count and looking at deaths in the hundreds of thousands. No one but die hard Trumpets actually belive that this was handled well by the administration.
What happens if most of your base is wiped out in the plague? Who's gonna vote for the prick?
Hes the president and he can't even coordinate a federal response.
I mean...it's easy to sit on your butt and complain about how everyone in the chain of command is acting during a crisis...but it appears like to me that he's coordinated the hell out of this thing. But you probably don't know that because CNN and MSNBC never cover his briefings in total. They simply cut away to one their journalists bad-mouthing him while he's putting out pertinent information. Yesterday one of their asshole reporters asked him why he didn't shut down all of the grocery stores in the country. If I was POTUS and some dumbass had asked that question I would have had the SOB escorted out of the White House and thrown into the street.
How so? The federal government joined in a bidding war against other states for vital PPE and other medical equipment driving up the price for everyone.
HHS just completed a survey of hospitals and guess what, those hospitals aren't exactly ecstatic over the federal government's response. Everything from being given expired PPE to equipment being way over priced as well as having to attempt to source supplies competing...yes, with other hospitals which also raises the price tag. Also delays in testing results has made it difficult to determine who has COVID and who has the flu which causes unnecessarily people to take up bed space until the test results come back. Which also means that all the PPE that was wasted protecting health care workers against someone who turns out didn't have COVID.
U.S. Hospitals Surveyed Plea For More Federal Coordination Of Testing And Supplies
An office of the Department of Health and Human Services surveyed 323 U.S. hospitals and found shortages of "intravenous therapy poles, medical gas, linens and food." Many are still scrambling.
