McConnell: Impeachment Distracted Government From Wuhan Virus​

https://thefederalist.com/2020/03/31...m-wuhan-virus/
April 1, 2020 ~~ By Tristan Justice
Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky charged the Democrats’ recent impeachment coup that stretched into the beginning of February with distracting the administration from the Wuhan coronavirus threat as the outbreak worsened in China.
“It came up while we were tied down in the impeachment trial, and I think it diverted the attention of the government because everything every day was all about impeachment,” McConnell said Tuesday on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”
While China was implementing large-scale lockdowns across the country at the start of the new year to contain the virus, the White House was focused on fending off a partisan impeachment effort to keep President Donald Trump in office. As January rolled around, Congress was in the midst of bitter battle over whether the Senate trial would include new witnesses who had not testified in the House prior to Democrats rubber-stamping the articles in a rushed process.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi withheld the articles from moving forward unless Senate Republicans offered concessions on how the trial would be conducted. After four weeks of keeping the nation’s legislature at a standstill, Pelosi gave in on the issue where she had no leverage and released the articles for a trial to begin in the upper chamber, all while the Wuhan virus continued to spread across Asia.
Democrats have been quick to cast the Trump administration as radically unprepared to handle the current pandemic tanking the global economy and threatening to kill hundreds of thousands with it, including those who never even come in contact with the virus but who fall victim to suicide over circumstances presented through financial devastation and social isolation.
At the same time, Democrats sought to focus the nation on its grand impeachment efforts with a Senate trial that did nothing but further polarize an already divided nation and divert the administration’s attention away from real threats abroad. Had the White House been able to more closely monitor the ongoing crisis in China rather than fending off a sham impeachment, the federal government likely would have been more prepared to confront the virus with adequate testing made more readily available and a proper advance on replenishing the Strategic National Stockpile.
Instead, the United States was caught off-guard by the pandemic, with current medical supplies in storage found both expired and in short supply. According to ABC News, government officials say the national stockpile had not been restocked with fresh supplies since the H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Meanwhile, as Trump takes fire for failing to meet New York’s request for 30,000 ventilators from the federal government, less than 20,000 were available in the national stockpile. Of the 4,000 that were shipped up to New York this week, Business Insider reported that many were found to be damaged.
A closer examination of federal supplies in anticipation of the virus arriving on U.S. shores rather than a fixation on the Democrats’ latest impeachment attempt could have saved thousands of lives.
Instead, Democrats attacked the early effective measures that the Trump administration did take to stop the virus. In January, the White House implemented a travel ban on China that provoked condemnation from woke liberals as racist. Former Vice President Joe Biden, who is now the likely Democratic nominee, condemned the move as “hysterical xenophobia.”
~~ Snip ~~
The Democrats’ three-year failed impeachment effort is one of the nation’s greatest national security blunders in American history by keeping the administration focused more on staying in office than keeping a close watch on global challenges. Now the United States is confronted with a pandemic of epic proportions that has already claimed more American lives than the terrorist attacks on 9/11.
This year’s impeachment proceedings in January and February might not have prevented the Wuhan virus from spreading across the U.S., but they no doubt distracted the White House from getting a head start on adequate preparations.

Comment:
The Progressive Marxist Socialist leftist hatred for President Trump and Conservatism is so great that they've put the entire country in danger. This should be a wake-up to every American to vote Republican in November. Thank you Senator McConnell for taking the time to expose Nancy Pelosi and the PMS/DSA Democratic Left.
When this virus was emerging internationally Democrats played the impeachment game while their leading presidential candidates all accused the president of racism for doing the smart thing and restricting travel, especially from China the source of the pandemic. When it became obvious this was becoming a full blown pandemic Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer deliberately delayed action in order to demand pet programs unrelated to the crisis filling the proposed crucial aide with their pet wish list. When the country demanded leadership President Trump answered the call and gave them what they wanted and needed and Democrats did all they could to derail and delay this action. Shame on the anti-liberal and anti-American progressive Socialist democratic Party.
Indeed, while President Trump began assembling the Wuhan Covid-19 task force and banning travel from China, that same day, January 20th, 2020 Nancy Pelosi was finally signing the impeachment papers and handing out pens at the signing.
Needless to say, the first CDC pandemic warning occurred in late February nearly a month after Trump stopped flights from China. In addition the fault with this entire warning system, action taken and poor response is on the CDC, is the same CDC that Obama decreased funding and squandered their resources and preparedness.

"The national shortage of N95 respirator masks can be traced back to 2009 after the H1N1 swine flu pandemic, when the Obama administration was advised to replenish a national stockpile but did not, according to reports from Bloomberg News and the Los Angeles Times.​

In 2009, the H1N1 outbreak hit the United States, leading to 274,304 hospitalizations, 12,469 deaths, and a depletion of N95 respirator masks.​

A federally backed task force and a safety equipment organization both recommended to the Obama administration that the stockpile be replenished of the 100 million masks used after the H1N1 outbreak, according to the Los Angeles Times.Charles Johnson, president of the International Safety Equipment Association, said that advice was never heeded.“Our association is unaware of any major effort to restore the stockpile to cover that draw down,” he said.​

So he admits they are too dumb to multi task ?

Yeah, Pence has joined in on floating that. But that dog ain't gonna hunt. Trump didn't participate in impeachment. He campaigned, tweeted, and dismissed and downplayed the virus. And he will ultimately be judged on that lack of action.

What about Italy? Who's going to judge them for a 10% death rate? Why are LA and NYC so unprepared? (Trump, right?)

It's, asanine to look for reasons to blame Trump but the terminally obsessed will do just that.

Again, why do you care what other countries do? When has this country ever waited for another country to do something before we did? Like it or not, Trump had his opportunity to take action. Put in place the kind of steps that weren't even considered until after March 13th. Take these actions at the end of January/beginning of February and maybe, just maybe, the country doesn't have to come to a screeching halt. Difference between someone who is capable of leadership and someone who will be nothing more than a perpetual candidate. In other words..Trump.

I'm sorry, were the governors and mayors of of these states and cities let in on or made aware of classified briefings on this virus back in December and January? So maybe they might be able to take some precautions? Or did they watch a feckless President deny, dismiss, and downplay it?

Honestly, I don't blame Trump for the virus. I blame him for his incompetence and his complete lack of urgency in responding to it so that the states and cities could gear up for it.
Yes. Trump. He gets the majority of the blame.

I don't care what other countries do. All I'm saying is I wonder if there's a dick schlobber in Italy focused on blaming a politician and not on the virus.

It just doesn't matter what Trump does, you are on a bitch about it. Ergo, you are worthless.

I'm sure the people and politicians of Italy will go looking for answers once they extract themselves from their current nightmare. Someone in Italy isn't my president or any political leader that makes decisions that affect me. I don't give a shit what they do.
I care what the supposed leader of the free world does since he is our President (whether we voted for him or not).

I do care that Trump didn't act from January 22nd to March 13th (save for a restriction on travel from China on January 31st). I do care that his supporters and enablers (don't really care if you are one of them or not) give him a pass and seek to deflect blame. Just re-enforces that he isn't fit to sit in the chair. If you think leadership qualities are worthless, that's your problem.

Then what would you have done differently? Don't give me hoax distractions and Trump whines, what action plan to deal with a global pandemic would have been proper in your eyes.

Let's see if you can address a problem without bitching at Trump.

1) Identify (the people exhibiting symptoms).
2) Isolate and quarantine these people.
3) Chain of contact (identifying the people these individuals might have come in contact with).
4) Isolate and quarantine these people.
5) Begin widespread testing of people exhibiting any symptoms.
6) Issue widespread shelter in place and social distancing.
7) Isolate and quarantine people testing positive.

Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky charged the Democrats’ recent impeachment coup that stretched into the beginning of February with distracting the administration from the Wuhan coronavirus threat as the outbreak worsened in China.
“It came up while we were tied down in the impeachment trial, and I think it diverted the attention of the government because everything every day was all about impeachment,” McConnell said Tuesday on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”
While China was implementing large-scale lockdowns across the country at the start of the new year to contain the virus, the White House was focused on fending off a partisan impeachment effort to keep President Donald Trump in office. As January rolled around, Congress was in the midst of bitter battle over whether the Senate trial would include new witnesses who had not testified in the House prior to Democrats rubber-stamping the articles in a rushed process.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi withheld the articles from moving forward unless Senate Republicans offered concessions on how the trial would be conducted. After four weeks of keeping the nation’s legislature at a standstill, Pelosi gave in on the issue where she had no leverage and released the articles for a trial to begin in the upper chamber, all while the Wuhan virus continued to spread across Asia.
Democrats have been quick to cast the Trump administration as radically unprepared to handle the current pandemic tanking the global economy and threatening to kill hundreds of thousands with it, including those who never even come in contact with the virus but who fall victim to suicide over circumstances presented through financial devastation and social isolation.
At the same time, Democrats sought to focus the nation on its grand impeachment efforts with a Senate trial that did nothing but further polarize an already divided nation and divert the administration’s attention away from real threats abroad. Had the White House been able to more closely monitor the ongoing crisis in China rather than fending off a sham impeachment, the federal government likely would have been more prepared to confront the virus with adequate testing made more readily available and a proper advance on replenishing the Strategic National Stockpile.
Instead, the United States was caught off-guard by the pandemic, with current medical supplies in storage found both expired and in short supply. According to ABC News, government officials say the national stockpile had not been restocked with fresh supplies since the H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Meanwhile, as Trump takes fire for failing to meet New York’s request for 30,000 ventilators from the federal government, less than 20,000 were available in the national stockpile. Of the 4,000 that were shipped up to New York this week, Business Insider reported that many were found to be damaged.
A closer examination of federal supplies in anticipation of the virus arriving on U.S. shores rather than a fixation on the Democrats’ latest impeachment attempt could have saved thousands of lives.
Instead, Democrats attacked the early effective measures that the Trump administration did take to stop the virus. In January, the White House implemented a travel ban on China that provoked condemnation from woke liberals as racist. Former Vice President Joe Biden, who is now the likely Democratic nominee, condemned the move as “hysterical xenophobia.”
~~ Snip ~~
The Democrats’ three-year failed impeachment effort is one of the nation’s greatest national security blunders in American history by keeping the administration focused more on staying in office than keeping a close watch on global challenges. Now the United States is confronted with a pandemic of epic proportions that has already claimed more American lives than the terrorist attacks on 9/11.
This year’s impeachment proceedings in January and February might not have prevented the Wuhan virus from spreading across the U.S., but they no doubt distracted the White House from getting a head start on adequate preparations.

Comment:
The Progressive Marxist Socialist leftist hatred for President Trump and Conservatism is so great that they've put the entire country in danger. This should be a wake-up to every American to vote Republican in November. Thank you Senator McConnell for taking the time to expose Nancy Pelosi and the PMS/DSA Democratic Left.
When this virus was emerging internationally Democrats played the impeachment game while their leading presidential candidates all accused the president of racism for doing the smart thing and restricting travel, especially from China the source of the pandemic. When it became obvious this was becoming a full blown pandemic Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer deliberately delayed action in order to demand pet programs unrelated to the crisis filling the proposed crucial aide with their pet wish list. When the country demanded leadership President Trump answered the call and gave them what they wanted and needed and Democrats did all they could to derail and delay this action. Shame on the anti-liberal and anti-American progressive Socialist democratic Party.
Indeed, while President Trump began assembling the Wuhan Covid-19 task force and banning travel from China, that same day, January 20th, 2020 Nancy Pelosi was finally signing the impeachment papers and handing out pens at the signing.
Needless to say, the first CDC pandemic warning occurred in late February nearly a month after Trump stopped flights from China. In addition the fault with this entire warning system, action taken and poor response is on the CDC, is the same CDC that Obama decreased funding and squandered their resources and preparedness.

"The national shortage of N95 respirator masks can be traced back to 2009 after the H1N1 swine flu pandemic, when the Obama administration was advised to replenish a national stockpile but did not, according to reports from Bloomberg News and the Los Angeles Times.​

In 2009, the H1N1 outbreak hit the United States, leading to 274,304 hospitalizations, 12,469 deaths, and a depletion of N95 respirator masks.​

A federally backed task force and a safety equipment organization both recommended to the Obama administration that the stockpile be replenished of the 100 million masks used after the H1N1 outbreak, according to the Los Angeles Times.Charles Johnson, president of the International Safety Equipment Association, said that advice was never heeded.“Our association is unaware of any major effort to restore the stockpile to cover that draw down,” he said.​

Yeah, Pence has joined in on floating that. But that dog ain't gonna hunt. Trump didn't participate in impeachment. He campaigned, tweeted, and dismissed and downplayed the virus. And he will ultimately be judged on that lack of action.

What about Italy? Who's going to judge them for a 10% death rate? Why are LA and NYC so unprepared? (Trump, right?)

It's, asanine to look for reasons to blame Trump but the terminally obsessed will do just that.

Again, why do you care what other countries do? When has this country ever waited for another country to do something before we did? Like it or not, Trump had his opportunity to take action. Put in place the kind of steps that weren't even considered until after March 13th. Take these actions at the end of January/beginning of February and maybe, just maybe, the country doesn't have to come to a screeching halt. Difference between someone who is capable of leadership and someone who will be nothing more than a perpetual candidate. In other words..Trump.

I'm sorry, were the governors and mayors of of these states and cities let in on or made aware of classified briefings on this virus back in December and January? So maybe they might be able to take some precautions? Or did they watch a feckless President deny, dismiss, and downplay it?

Honestly, I don't blame Trump for the virus. I blame him for his incompetence and his complete lack of urgency in responding to it so that the states and cities could gear up for it.
Yes. Trump. He gets the majority of the blame.

I don't care what other countries do. All I'm saying is I wonder if there's a dick schlobber in Italy focused on blaming a politician and not on the virus.

It just doesn't matter what Trump does, you are on a bitch about it. Ergo, you are worthless.

I'm sure the people and politicians of Italy will go looking for answers once they extract themselves from their current nightmare. Someone in Italy isn't my president or any political leader that makes decisions that affect me. I don't give a shit what they do.
I care what the supposed leader of the free world does since he is our President (whether we voted for him or not).

I do care that Trump didn't act from January 22nd to March 13th (save for a restriction on travel from China on January 31st). I do care that his supporters and enablers (don't really care if you are one of them or not) give him a pass and seek to deflect blame. Just re-enforces that he isn't fit to sit in the chair. If you think leadership qualities are worthless, that's your problem.

Then what would you have done differently? Don't give me hoax distractions and Trump whines, what action plan to deal with a global pandemic would have been proper in your eyes.

Let's see if you can address a problem without bitching at Trump.

To quote Mr Sulu.."Are you kidding me?". If I'm leader of the United States, I'm worried about...well, the United States. Let's see, you follow the CDC guidelines for containing the virus on or about January 22nd.
1) Identify (the people exhibiting symptoms).
2) Isolate and quarantine these people.
3) Chain of contact (identifying the people these individuals might have come in contact with).
4) Isolate and quarantine these people.
5) Begin widespread testing of people exhibiting any symptoms.
6) Issue widespread shelter in place and social distancing.
7) Isolate and quarantine people testing positive.

Honestly, this isn't all that hard. No distractions necessary. No waiting to pivot blame on to foreign governments.

NY did not do any of that. In fact, they encouraged folks to party up.

Like DeSantis in Florida did??..until today? Because you know, Florida is important to Trump's re-election. And how about Alabama and Mississipi? Those bastions of deep red, Trump lovin?...sheesh.

Florida is not experiencing the spike that NY has and second guessing a State's actions is ignorant at best. That being said, it is more than obvious that NY failed miserably. I hope that does not happen in Fla but, if it does, because the governor is a Republican you can bet that the Democrats and their sycophant lamestream media will cry like stuckpiggies while they give NY a complete pass as they continue to try to blame Trump because, for Nancy-Pants and the Democrats, politics supercedes the welfare of the American people.

I do care that his supporters and enablers (don't really care if you are one of them or not) give him a pass and seek to deflect blame. Just re-enforces that he isn't fit to sit in the chair. If you think leadership qualities are worthless, that's your problem.

Then what would you have done differently? Don't give me hoax distractions and Trump whines, what action plan to deal with a global pandemic would have been proper in your eyes.

Let's see if you can address a problem without bitching at Trump.

To quote Mr Sulu.."Are you kidding me?". If I'm leader of the United States, I'm worried about...well, the United States. Let's see, you follow the CDC guidelines for containing the virus on or about January 22nd.
1) Identify (the people exhibiting symptoms).
2) Isolate and quarantine these people.
3) Chain of contact (identifying the people these individuals might have come in contact with).
4) Isolate and quarantine these people.
5) Begin widespread testing of people exhibiting any symptoms.
6) Issue widespread shelter in place and social distancing.
7) Isolate and quarantine people testing positive.

Honestly, this isn't all that hard. No distractions necessary. No waiting to pivot blame on to foreign governments.

NY did not do any of that. In fact, they encouraged folks to party up.

Like DeSantis in Florida did??..until today? Because you know, Florida is important to Trump's re-election. And how about Alabama and Mississipi? Those bastions of deep red, Trump lovin?...sheesh.

Florida is not experiencing the spike that NY has and second guessing a State's actions is ignorant at best. That being said, it is more than obvious that NY failed miserably. I hope that does not happen in Fla but, if it does, because the governor is a Republican you can bet that the Democrats and their sycophant lamestream media will cry like stuckpiggies while they give NY a complete pass as they continue to try to blame Trump because, for Nancy-Pants and the Democrats, politics supercedes the welfare of the American people.

It will. Just give it time. Miami is already blooming into a hot spot. The governor is going to answer for his inaction. This virus doesn't discern between blue and red.

McConnell: Impeachment Distracted Government From Wuhan Virus​

https://thefederalist.com/2020/03/31...m-wuhan-virus/
April 1, 2020 ~~ By Tristan Justice
Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky charged the Democrats’ recent impeachment coup that stretched into the beginning of February with distracting the administration from the Wuhan coronavirus threat as the outbreak worsened in China.
“It came up while we were tied down in the impeachment trial, and I think it diverted the attention of the government because everything every day was all about impeachment,” McConnell said Tuesday on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”
While China was implementing large-scale lockdowns across the country at the start of the new year to contain the virus, the White House was focused on fending off a partisan impeachment effort to keep President Donald Trump in office. As January rolled around, Congress was in the midst of bitter battle over whether the Senate trial would include new witnesses who had not testified in the House prior to Democrats rubber-stamping the articles in a rushed process.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi withheld the articles from moving forward unless Senate Republicans offered concessions on how the trial would be conducted. After four weeks of keeping the nation’s legislature at a standstill, Pelosi gave in on the issue where she had no leverage and released the articles for a trial to begin in the upper chamber, all while the Wuhan virus continued to spread across Asia.
Democrats have been quick to cast the Trump administration as radically unprepared to handle the current pandemic tanking the global economy and threatening to kill hundreds of thousands with it, including those who never even come in contact with the virus but who fall victim to suicide over circumstances presented through financial devastation and social isolation.
At the same time, Democrats sought to focus the nation on its grand impeachment efforts with a Senate trial that did nothing but further polarize an already divided nation and divert the administration’s attention away from real threats abroad. Had the White House been able to more closely monitor the ongoing crisis in China rather than fending off a sham impeachment, the federal government likely would have been more prepared to confront the virus with adequate testing made more readily available and a proper advance on replenishing the Strategic National Stockpile.
Instead, the United States was caught off-guard by the pandemic, with current medical supplies in storage found both expired and in short supply. According to ABC News, government officials say the national stockpile had not been restocked with fresh supplies since the H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Meanwhile, as Trump takes fire for failing to meet New York’s request for 30,000 ventilators from the federal government, less than 20,000 were available in the national stockpile. Of the 4,000 that were shipped up to New York this week, Business Insider reported that many were found to be damaged.
A closer examination of federal supplies in anticipation of the virus arriving on U.S. shores rather than a fixation on the Democrats’ latest impeachment attempt could have saved thousands of lives.
Instead, Democrats attacked the early effective measures that the Trump administration did take to stop the virus. In January, the White House implemented a travel ban on China that provoked condemnation from woke liberals as racist. Former Vice President Joe Biden, who is now the likely Democratic nominee, condemned the move as “hysterical xenophobia.”
~~ Snip ~~
The Democrats’ three-year failed impeachment effort is one of the nation’s greatest national security blunders in American history by keeping the administration focused more on staying in office than keeping a close watch on global challenges. Now the United States is confronted with a pandemic of epic proportions that has already claimed more American lives than the terrorist attacks on 9/11.
This year’s impeachment proceedings in January and February might not have prevented the Wuhan virus from spreading across the U.S., but they no doubt distracted the White House from getting a head start on adequate preparations.

Comment:
The Progressive Marxist Socialist leftist hatred for President Trump and Conservatism is so great that they've put the entire country in danger. This should be a wake-up to every American to vote Republican in November. Thank you Senator McConnell for taking the time to expose Nancy Pelosi and the PMS/DSA Democratic Left.
When this virus was emerging internationally Democrats played the impeachment game while their leading presidential candidates all accused the president of racism for doing the smart thing and restricting travel, especially from China the source of the pandemic. When it became obvious this was becoming a full blown pandemic Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer deliberately delayed action in order to demand pet programs unrelated to the crisis filling the proposed crucial aide with their pet wish list. When the country demanded leadership President Trump answered the call and gave them what they wanted and needed and Democrats did all they could to derail and delay this action. Shame on the anti-liberal and anti-American progressive Socialist democratic Party.
Indeed, while President Trump began assembling the Wuhan Covid-19 task force and banning travel from China, that same day, January 20th, 2020 Nancy Pelosi was finally signing the impeachment papers and handing out pens at the signing.
Needless to say, the first CDC pandemic warning occurred in late February nearly a month after Trump stopped flights from China. In addition the fault with this entire warning system, action taken and poor response is on the CDC, is the same CDC that Obama decreased funding and squandered their resources and preparedness.

"The national shortage of N95 respirator masks can be traced back to 2009 after the H1N1 swine flu pandemic, when the Obama administration was advised to replenish a national stockpile but did not, according to reports from Bloomberg News and the Los Angeles Times.​

In 2009, the H1N1 outbreak hit the United States, leading to 274,304 hospitalizations, 12,469 deaths, and a depletion of N95 respirator masks.​

A federally backed task force and a safety equipment organization both recommended to the Obama administration that the stockpile be replenished of the 100 million masks used after the H1N1 outbreak, according to the Los Angeles Times.Charles Johnson, president of the International Safety Equipment Association, said that advice was never heeded.“Our association is unaware of any major effort to restore the stockpile to cover that draw down,” he said.​

Yeah, Pence has joined in on floating that. But that dog ain't gonna hunt. Trump didn't participate in impeachment. He campaigned, tweeted, and dismissed and downplayed the virus. And he will ultimately be judged on that lack of action.

What about Italy? Who's going to judge them for a 10% death rate? Why are LA and NYC so unprepared? (Trump, right?)

It's, asanine to look for reasons to blame Trump but the terminally obsessed will do just that.

Again, why do you care what other countries do? When has this country ever waited for another country to do something before we did? Like it or not, Trump had his opportunity to take action. Put in place the kind of steps that weren't even considered until after March 13th. Take these actions at the end of January/beginning of February and maybe, just maybe, the country doesn't have to come to a screeching halt. Difference between someone who is capable of leadership and someone who will be nothing more than a perpetual candidate. In other words..Trump.

I'm sorry, were the governors and mayors of of these states and cities let in on or made aware of classified briefings on this virus back in December and January? So maybe they might be able to take some precautions? Or did they watch a feckless President deny, dismiss, and downplay it?

Honestly, I don't blame Trump for the virus. I blame him for his incompetence and his complete lack of urgency in responding to it so that the states and cities could gear up for it.
Yes. Trump. He gets the majority of the blame.

I don't care what other countries do. All I'm saying is I wonder if there's a dick schlobber in Italy focused on blaming a politician and not on the virus.

It just doesn't matter what Trump does, you are on a bitch about it. Ergo, you are worthless.

I'm sure the people and politicians of Italy will go looking for answers once they extract themselves from their current nightmare. Someone in Italy isn't my president or any political leader that makes decisions that affect me. I don't give a shit what they do.
I care what the supposed leader of the free world does since he is our President (whether we voted for him or not).

I do care that Trump didn't act from January 22nd to March 13th (save for a restriction on travel from China on January 31st).

great. trump has tried to do many of these things but when shutting down borders, the left bitches.
quarantined people are isolated as soon as they're identified. please show me cases where they were not that he was in control of.
chain of contact - when did we shut down travel from china again? EU? shut the border? all of which he got shit for.
we can't widespread test due to lack of testing equipment just yet. but thank you for playing. i'm sure you'd have whipped a few hundred million kits out of your ass to resolve this.
social distancing? like california painting rectangular boxes on the ground for the homeless to sleep in?
#7 is also #2 - do you like simply repeating bullets we've covered to it looks like you are doing more?

trump has done as much of this as possible except now the complaint it "not fast enough" of which is simply another bitch session.

look, you've NEVER given trump credit for getting something right. NEVER. that alone is simply a mathematic impossibility. if you have even credit when he got something right, bitches when he does in fact get things wrong (and he does) then you'd have some cred here.

however, when everything is bitching at trump, at that point it's not trump, it's you.

What a load of bull crock and excuse mongering. Clinton was impeached but still managed to do his job. Are you finally admitting Trump is incompetent?

How Trump Breaks With Clinton And Nixon On Governing While Under Investigation

President Trump is so determined to pressure his antagonists to relent that he suddenly seems ready to renounce the governing obligations of his own office.

More bullshit from an ignorant Dim. Travel ban on China put in immediately answer idiots like you yelled RACIST. And then Dims rescinded it. Bull crock? Yeah, that’s everything you say. Pisslosi the drunk happily wants Americans to suffer and Senile Joe Biden embarrasses himself daily and you say Trump is incompetent? Look in a a mirror to see incompetence.

Look at him. His entire presidency. It’s been blame the libs, the Dems, the media, the Mexicans.....everyone but him. That is incompetency.

Can you name a single instance where he stood up and took full responsibility?

who called the travel ban racist?

Well if you weren’t an ignorant ass you would actually see that it has been Pisslosi the drunk and the rest of you idiots that have been impeding Trump for 3 years. Who called the ban racist? Damn you are totally ignorant. Joe Biden called it racist, xenophobic and said it should not have been implemented. He was far from the only one. Take responsibility. Let’s use the baseline of Obozo, the last guy in Trump’s position. Nothing but blame Bush, Fox News, and conservatives for 8 years. So you lose. Again.

You need to take the log out of your eye. Obama took responsibility for what happened under his watch. Trump? Well....not so much. Thank God someone has been impeding Trump or we'd be in much worse shape.

McConnell: Impeachment Distracted Government From Wuhan Virus​

https://thefederalist.com/2020/03/31...m-wuhan-virus/
April 1, 2020 ~~ By Tristan Justice
Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky charged the Democrats’ recent impeachment coup that stretched into the beginning of February with distracting the administration from the Wuhan coronavirus threat as the outbreak worsened in China.
“It came up while we were tied down in the impeachment trial, and I think it diverted the attention of the government because everything every day was all about impeachment,” McConnell said Tuesday on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”
While China was implementing large-scale lockdowns across the country at the start of the new year to contain the virus, the White House was focused on fending off a partisan impeachment effort to keep President Donald Trump in office. As January rolled around, Congress was in the midst of bitter battle over whether the Senate trial would include new witnesses who had not testified in the House prior to Democrats rubber-stamping the articles in a rushed process.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi withheld the articles from moving forward unless Senate Republicans offered concessions on how the trial would be conducted. After four weeks of keeping the nation’s legislature at a standstill, Pelosi gave in on the issue where she had no leverage and released the articles for a trial to begin in the upper chamber, all while the Wuhan virus continued to spread across Asia.
Democrats have been quick to cast the Trump administration as radically unprepared to handle the current pandemic tanking the global economy and threatening to kill hundreds of thousands with it, including those who never even come in contact with the virus but who fall victim to suicide over circumstances presented through financial devastation and social isolation.
At the same time, Democrats sought to focus the nation on its grand impeachment efforts with a Senate trial that did nothing but further polarize an already divided nation and divert the administration’s attention away from real threats abroad. Had the White House been able to more closely monitor the ongoing crisis in China rather than fending off a sham impeachment, the federal government likely would have been more prepared to confront the virus with adequate testing made more readily available and a proper advance on replenishing the Strategic National Stockpile.
Instead, the United States was caught off-guard by the pandemic, with current medical supplies in storage found both expired and in short supply. According to ABC News, government officials say the national stockpile had not been restocked with fresh supplies since the H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Meanwhile, as Trump takes fire for failing to meet New York’s request for 30,000 ventilators from the federal government, less than 20,000 were available in the national stockpile. Of the 4,000 that were shipped up to New York this week, Business Insider reported that many were found to be damaged.
A closer examination of federal supplies in anticipation of the virus arriving on U.S. shores rather than a fixation on the Democrats’ latest impeachment attempt could have saved thousands of lives.
Instead, Democrats attacked the early effective measures that the Trump administration did take to stop the virus. In January, the White House implemented a travel ban on China that provoked condemnation from woke liberals as racist. Former Vice President Joe Biden, who is now the likely Democratic nominee, condemned the move as “hysterical xenophobia.”
~~ Snip ~~
The Democrats’ three-year failed impeachment effort is one of the nation’s greatest national security blunders in American history by keeping the administration focused more on staying in office than keeping a close watch on global challenges. Now the United States is confronted with a pandemic of epic proportions that has already claimed more American lives than the terrorist attacks on 9/11.
This year’s impeachment proceedings in January and February might not have prevented the Wuhan virus from spreading across the U.S., but they no doubt distracted the White House from getting a head start on adequate preparations.

Comment:
The Progressive Marxist Socialist leftist hatred for President Trump and Conservatism is so great that they've put the entire country in danger. This should be a wake-up to every American to vote Republican in November. Thank you Senator McConnell for taking the time to expose Nancy Pelosi and the PMS/DSA Democratic Left.
When this virus was emerging internationally Democrats played the impeachment game while their leading presidential candidates all accused the president of racism for doing the smart thing and restricting travel, especially from China the source of the pandemic. When it became obvious this was becoming a full blown pandemic Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer deliberately delayed action in order to demand pet programs unrelated to the crisis filling the proposed crucial aide with their pet wish list. When the country demanded leadership President Trump answered the call and gave them what they wanted and needed and Democrats did all they could to derail and delay this action. Shame on the anti-liberal and anti-American progressive Socialist democratic Party.
Indeed, while President Trump began assembling the Wuhan Covid-19 task force and banning travel from China, that same day, January 20th, 2020 Nancy Pelosi was finally signing the impeachment papers and handing out pens at the signing.
Needless to say, the first CDC pandemic warning occurred in late February nearly a month after Trump stopped flights from China. In addition the fault with this entire warning system, action taken and poor response is on the CDC, is the same CDC that Obama decreased funding and squandered their resources and preparedness.
See: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...ever-restocked

"The national shortage of N95 respirator masks can be traced back to 2009 after the H1N1 swine flu pandemic, when the Obama administration was advised to replenish a national stockpile but did not, according to reports from Bloomberg News and the Los Angeles Times.​

In 2009, the H1N1 outbreak hit the United States, leading to 274,304 hospitalizations, 12,469 deaths, and a depletion of N95 respirator masks.​

A federally backed task force and a safety equipment organization both recommended to the Obama administration that the stockpile be replenished of the 100 million masks used after the H1N1 outbreak, according to the Los Angeles Times.Charles Johnson, president of the International Safety Equipment Association, said that advice was never heeded.“Our association is unaware of any major effort to restore the stockpile to cover that draw down,” he said.​

Yeah, Pence has joined in on floating that. But that dog ain't gonna hunt. Trump didn't participate in impeachment. He campaigned, tweeted, and dismissed and downplayed the virus. And he will ultimately be judged on that lack of action.

What about Italy? Who's going to judge them for a 10% death rate? Why are LA and NYC so unprepared? (Trump, right?)

It's, asanine to look for reasons to blame Trump but the terminally obsessed will do just that.

Again, why do you care what other countries do? When has this country ever waited for another country to do something before we did? Like it or not, Trump had his opportunity to take action. Put in place the kind of steps that weren't even considered until after March 13th. Take these actions at the end of January/beginning of February and maybe, just maybe, the country doesn't have to come to a screeching halt. Difference between someone who is capable of leadership and someone who will be nothing more than a perpetual candidate. In other words..Trump.

I'm sorry, were the governors and mayors of of these states and cities let in on or made aware of classified briefings on this virus back in December and January? So maybe they might be able to take some precautions? Or did they watch a feckless President deny, dismiss, and downplay it?

Honestly, I don't blame Trump for the virus. I blame him for his incompetence and his complete lack of urgency in responding to it so that the states and cities could gear up for it.
Yes. Trump. He gets the majority of the blame.

I don't care what other countries do. All I'm saying is I wonder if there's a dick schlobber in Italy focused on blaming a politician and not on the virus.

It just doesn't matter what Trump does, you are on a bitch about it. Ergo, you are worthless.

I'm sure the people and politicians of Italy will go looking for answers once they extract themselves from their current nightmare. Someone in Italy isn't my president or any political leader that makes decisions that affect me. I don't give a shit what they do.
I care what the supposed leader of the free world does since he is our President (whether we voted for him or not).

I do care that Trump didn't act from January 22nd to March 13th (save for a restriction on travel from China on January 31st). I do care that his supporters and enablers (don't really care if you are one of them or not) give him a pass and seek to deflect blame. Just re-enforces that he isn't fit to sit in the chair. If you think leadership qualities are worthless, that's your problem.

Then what would you have done differently? Don't give me hoax distractions and Trump whines, what action plan to deal with a global pandemic would have been proper in your eyes.

Let's see if you can address a problem without bitching at Trump.

To quote Mr Sulu.."Are you kidding me?". If I'm leader of the United States, I'm worried about...well, the United States. Let's see, you follow the CDC guidelines for containing the virus on or about January 22nd.
1) Identify (the people exhibiting symptoms).
2) Isolate and quarantine these people.
3) Chain of contact (identifying the people these individuals might have come in contact with).
4) Isolate and quarantine these people.
5) Begin widespread testing of people exhibiting any symptoms.
6) Issue widespread shelter in place and social distancing.
7) Isolate and quarantine people testing positive.

Honestly, this isn't all that hard. No distractions necessary. No waiting to pivot blame on to foreign governments.

NY did not do any of that. In fact, they encouraged folks to party up.

Like DeSantis in Florida did??..until today? Because you know, Florida is important to Trump's re-election. And how about Alabama and Mississipi? Those bastions of deep red, Trump lovin?...sheesh.

Florida is not experiencing the spike that NY has and second guessing a State's actions is ignorant at best. That being said, it is more than obvious that NY failed miserably. I hope that does not happen in Fla but, if it does, because the governor is a Republican you can bet that the Democrats and their sycophant lamestream media will cry like stuckpiggies while they give NY a complete pass as they continue to try to blame Trump because, for Nancy-Pants and the Democrats, politics supercedes the welfare of the American people.

It will. Just give it time. Miami is already blooming into a hot spot. The governor is going to answer for his inaction. This virus doesn't discern between blue and red.

but you still do.

how...stupid.

Far too many do, and it's ignorant. A number of governors have made some less than good decisions and the poor judgement is bipartisan.

Damn you are totally ignorant. Joe Biden called it racist, xenophobic and said it should not have been implemented. He was far from the only one. Take responsibility.

No, you would be the ignorant one here. As usual. Obama took responsibility? You typed that? Obozo never took responsibility for ANYTHING. Period. Your utter ignorance and denial of reality is astounding. Seems you’re the one with shit all over her face. Remove your head fr9m Obozo’s rectum and see daylights for once.
