@DoubleDD I was a republican during the last election.
No you wasn’t. I seen your post. Do you like a transgender person oh I’m a male and a female. No I’m a Democrat no I’m a Republican
Transgender rights are human rights.

But I know he’s a racist that’s only reason you want to do it because he’s a racist. LOL
Calling it the China virus helps literally nothing. That’s some shit to play to his base.
Playing political correctness is not the time. Did notice those originate in China. Do not try to blame US military for this virus? And you’re protecting China? Wow
That’s. Not. The. Name. Calling it that just doesn’t help anything. The ONLY thing it can do is incite real racism. Asians are scared and buying guns over this. What’s not to understand here?
If you have read my posts you will know not only am I putting blame on China, but I think they covered up millions of deaths. Where did I blame the US military for anything? Slow response to a tricky virus has cost human lives, public not taking it seriously enough due to poor messaging has not helped. Puts us in the same boat as Italy or worse. Compare to other countries that took it seriously, tested rigorously and isolated sooner.
Last time I checked almost every country in Europe is in lockdown mode so would it advantage are you talking about

@DoubleDD what a dumb thing to say!
So dumb? How come the Chinese government didn’t let the world know about this virus. Yeah you’re going to defend them? How many lives could have been saved? All because you want a D president. No you’re dumb
We knew about this last year, Trump literally ignored it. No way around this.
Last time I checked all of Europe is basically in lockdown mode so what advantages you talking about?
You seem confused. Lockdown is the correct thing to do and the sooner the better, we were slow about that and testing compared to some other countries.

And so you’re going to tell me the trump could actually lock down the country without the help of the dem party?
-
Do you not remember Chuck Schumer Was calling racist when trump was trying to shut down the borders in the flights from China?
-
@DoubleDD Taking this seriously in January would have been a start. Instead we are seeing the beginning of triage in states like Louisiana.
Too many MUH FREEDOM types in the US. And look freedom is good but there is a time to shut up and listen. That time probably involves a horrible disease.
-
I’ll still be here when the death tolls in the US start rising to gross numbers.
-
I was, all my life. I didn’t vote for him. Changed during the KS state fair, after the election. I don’t lie and I don’t care what u think. Don’t ever talk to me again. You are racist, sexist, looks like homophobe too.

I’m hoping that’s not the case. I’m hoping we solve this problem. But you blaming Trump, So your boy Biden can win election is just sick.

So your boy Biden
Okay, now I know you are trolling.

So you admit that you lied about voting for the Republican president last time. And I have no problems ever talking to your shady ass ever again. And let’s be honest you responded to me I didn’t respond to you until after you respond to me. So take your heart and spirit and go to your safe place.

How? because I don’t blame Trump for everything like you do?
-
Look I was just called a A homophobe by @Crimsonorblue22. Yet that was never even a part of the conversation? Nice to cast judgment. But I won’t get no justice here.
-
@DoubleDD You are just automatically attacking based on Ds and Rs. I don’t like Biden, I’ve been clear about that on this forum even.
Never said Trump is shouldering all the blame either. China had a hand in it, so did Bill Gates, that Harvard professor etc… But to act like Trump is free and clear? No he has cost American lives in his handling of this. I’d say the same thing no matter the letter next to the president’s name.
-
You want to show me that you’re fair and balanced on this website? I was just called a homophobe by @Crimsonorblue22. Are you going to correct or not?
-
This conversation had nothing to do about being a Homophobe
-
@DoubleDD I never ever voted or said I voted for trump! I’ve been a republican all my life till after trump, I switched. You were probably drunk

What do you want me to do? I’m a regular user same as you. If you have a strong complaint maybe take it up with approx? But I’d like to think we could self police and all just cut that out.
-
Is this not a fair website or not? I was just called a homophobe and this had nothing to do with the conversation. @BShark are you a facilitator of this website?
-
I am more than willing to debate all topics and admit when I’m wrong. Yet don’t call me names when it has nothing to do with the damn topic

Absolutely not.
@approxinfinity runs the site.

Okay bubba my bad. Thought you was.

I just post too much.

@BShark back to a more civil conversation. Can Trump be blamed for dropping the ball. Of course. Yet that is arm chair QB stuff. The important thing is where are we at now? There will be a time of judgment when we beat this virus. China being at the top of the list.
-
@DoubleDD Agree!
Also in case you missed this: https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/28/politics/harvard-professor-chinese-nationals-arrest-espionage/index.html
Lots of blame to go around with this. I think some things were deliberate but that’s for another time and thread.

@jayballer73 There’s a difference between being united and having blind faith. Voicing frustration does not mean we aren’t united. You proved how to do that yourself. You voiced your problem with what someone said while maintaining your connection through basketball. Unity is good but doesn’t absolve someone from bad leadership.
Bad leadership? Says who ? You. When did you become an expert on leadership? I mean your boy Obama and the Biben team did a worse job on H1N1.
I don’t know, how about the American citizens join forces And keep a virus at bay. But no let’s play politics.
Absolutely amazing that you advocate not “playing politics” in a post where you use the classic what about Obama tactic.
Shutting down flights from China was a good move. But can you honestly everything sense then has been “perfect,” “10/10”? Yesterday he put recommendations for an unproven medication combination to treat the virus causing a run on essential medication for people with Lupis. He’s taken every opportunity to “play politics” and bash Biden whenever he has a chance. Just blind worship from you on trump at this point.
You bring up transgender people for no reason at all and then whine and complain that this isn’t a safe place for you and it’s not “fair and balanced” (wonder where you got that one…). Whose the real snowflake here? This had been a pretty civil thread until you took it off the rails. Most of us aren’t actually talking republican vs dem but you choose to see it that way. Look above for praise all around for a variety of republican governors from myself and others. So who is really “playing politics?”
Also, interesting you don’t protest the racist and sexist accusations. If you don’t like being labeled such things, maybe don’t spew hateful rhetoric.
If you want to see what real thoughtful debate and disagreement looks like, check out @FarmerJayhawk. A real pro at disagreeing with someone, providing true support for an argument, and never making it or taking it personal. No point trying that with you in your current state.

My friend if you think trump is playing politics? I don’t know what To say? We all know Trump (ego problem). Yet what president has done better in handling this coronavirus? I mean how many Americans died before Obama declared a national problem?

Who is asking for blind faith. But hope? Why not? No let’s tell every American you screwed. Then let’s see what happens? You have guns? Because you’ll need them if you you say that to the American people.

Hadn’t heard about that. Have heard there’s a scientist in Singapore who has developed a yes that can tell if you’ve EVER had covid-19. Likely to be able to tell up to 20 years later if you ever got it. Not so helps right now but could be going forward as we try to track how this thing got so out of control.
