The pandemic would have only lasted 3 months if no one had "flattened the curve" as Fauci insisted.
Trumps plan was to ignore the epidemic for those under 40, and that would have cut the death toll by about a factor of 10. The high death toll and high economic impact all came from Fauci trying to wait for a vaccine that turned out not to work at all.
And where is your medical degree from? If we hadn't taken precautions, millions would have died in a short period of time. The US had the worst death rate from Covid because Trump fought containment every step of the way. Meanwhile countries that imposed strict social distancing and masking had relatively low death rates.
For instance, Japan's total deaths from Covid was only about 50,000, compared to one million for the US. Why? The Japanese social distanced. They cancelled the Olympics. Mask wearing was popular in Japan even before Covid hit, and the Japanese don't greet each other by shaking hands or hugging, they do that whole bowing thing. In short, they did it right. We did it wrong.
The race riots were due to the illegal racism by the state and local police.
No, it was because Trump used racially charged rhetoric for four years and stopped the police reform that was started by Obama and Holder.
Both impeachments not only failed to convict, but were clearly illegal and done by a corrupt congress.
Um, guy, Trump did what he was accused of in both impeachments... Republicans were just too afraid of Trump's supporters to do the right thing. I am not sure why you want to live in a country where the President is above the law. I don't.
All elections have some voter fraud. The 2000 election likely was invalid due to voter fraud. Computers used as voting machines clearly are voter fraud. We have all seen videos of bags of ballots being fraudulently dumped into drop boxes.
The attempt to delay election certification in 2020 was not at all illegal, but just foolish.
The 2000 election was invalid because Al Gore got more votes. Period. All you other conspiracy theories have been debunked. Get rid of the EC, go to direct voting for the president, and we wouldn't be winging about when ballots get counted at what time.
Almost all wars are inherently illegal since they commit murder, an absolute law.
All legal authority only comes from the inherent right of defense, so then war is only legal if necessary in order to defend someone.
Since the WMD lies about Iraq and the al Qaeda lies about Afghanistan were false, then no war was necessary, there was no one whose rights were protected by them, and those responsible for these lies were criminals.
But Shock and Awe was also in violation of the Geneva Conventions against attacking civilian infrastructure, so was a war crime.
Sorry, no. Afghanistan was justified because the Taliban were harboring terrorists who attacked America. Iraq was justified because Saddam was a piece of garbage who was violating UN resolutions he had agreed to in order to stay in power.
War crimes are the winners punishing the losers. It's why the Nazis got hanged and the Allies got streets and schools named after them.
I prefer to keep China as a trade partner, but clearly China is not our friend in the long run.
When Nixon opened the door to trade with China, China has been the winner and we have only been the loser.
China has taken over almost all of our technology, and we no longer even know how to make computers, TVs, cellphones, etc.
China dumps in the US below cost, just to prevent any US competition from being able to get started.
China owns a significant portion of US debt, and can then easily cause a US bankruptcy in the future.
Okay, to look at your list.
Technology has moved to Asia (not just China) because it's cheaper to produce there. That actually started with Japan, not China. Then labor costs in Japan got to high, so they moved to China. Now labor costs in China are to high, so they are moving to Vietnam and Malaysia.
China is below costs, but when you factor in lead times, transportation costs, and carrying costs, you really don't get that far ahead. If we are failing in manufacturing, it's our own damned fault, not China's. I've worked in manufacturing for most of the last 25 years. No one wants to work on a factory floor. Usually, most of the people you see there are immigrants. White folks want to work in an office.
It is a lie to claim Trump said "to inject bleach or something".
What he said was to ask if there was some way to make a disinfectant that could neutralize the virus chemically?
He is right that it should have been gone by Easter.
he babbled about bleach because he didn't know what he was talking about, months into the crisis.
No, it wasn't going away by Easter, or the Summer, or any of the other happy talk Trump said. Masking and social distancing should have never been cultural issues, but the Red-neck, inbred morons who support Trump showed up with guns at state capitols because they couldn't eat at Applebee's.
Herd immunity for an epidemic with this low lethality and reproduction rate of 2.0, should not have lasted longer than 3 months.
If you want to understand why it lasted longer, you have to understand that what ends all epidemics is herd immunity.
That is when the odds of the virus finding a new host to transfer to after 12 days, drops so low that the virus can no longer reproduce.
So by masking, what we did was to save easy hosts, who then could ensure there was always a new host available in order to keep the virus alive and reproducing.
Bullshit. Epidemics almost always last longer than 3 months. The Spanish Flu lasted years!
And you are wrong about the classified doc laws.
When president, classified doc copies are given to thousands of people, like labs, allies, ambassadors, generals, etc.
They never have to give them back, and they never do.
So when a president gives himself copies, such as for their memoirs, presidential library, etc., they never have to give them back eithers.
That clearly is and has always been the law, so this prosecution is totally and absolutely criminal, intended only to illegally bias an election, and that really is treason.
Nope. Trump illegally retained documents.
People have gone to jail for retaining far less documents than Trump has, like the Navy enlisted man who took a picture of himself on the bridge of a nuclear submarine, and was charged with espinoge.
Trump kept the documents because they made him feel important.
