Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19

@benshawks08 Oh, come on, let’s remember that in that proceeding the Prez and his cronies managed to exclude any testimony from witnesses and never presented evidence in defense, and, oh yeah, the outcome was never in doubt, so clearly, it is the Dem’s fault for Trump & Co to not be properly prepared. Oh wait, does that mean they are admitting the response was bad? Was Russian Agent Orange’s natural ability to understand pandemics distracted?

@DoubleDD Interesting. I do agree there is a bit of inevitability in my opinion to the spread of this thing but find it interesting that you say the analysis WILL BE about how he gets it under control. What he’s doing or not doing from January to right now is that work. From my perspective that’s the stuff @approxinfinity is pointing out but I guess you see it differently. It will never cease to amaze me the capability humans have for looking at the same facts and evidence and coming to totally opposite conclusions.
I personally, don’t buy the impeachment defense as a. Trump wasn’t really participating much with that anyway and b. A president has to be able to handle multiple issues at the same time. Most of my opinion has been formed from watching the press briefings as I feel like it’s tough for any media to spin direct quotes with full context. And those briefings have been a mess, unfortunately with mixed messages, disagreeing with medical experts, and tossing out overly ambitious time lines. Obviously that’s my perspective and yours is different and that’s fine I guess but I do feel at some point facts are facts and a smart person would admit they were wrong. Maybe I’m the dummy holding onto my opinion but it doesn’t feel like it.
Well some appear to love the pressers. I’m not really able to watch them as much I would like. So I really don’t have sound opinion on how they are going.
As for whether a president can handle a situation is all about perception. To often it’s about whether a citizen likes the president or not.
Some believe that Franklin D Roosevelt failed the American people by not being prepared enough for the Pearl Harbor attack. Yet in the end president Roosevelt was considered a Great War time president. Sometimes when it comes to politics or presidents it’s not what happened is what they do about it.
I truly believe in my heart that this thought that somehow Trump is in too incompetent to handle this virus and run this country, Was born from the constant attacks of the DNC and the left-wing media that never seem to stop. Everybody wants to attack Trump and say he’s a liar but nobody ever ever wants to look at the left-wing media or the DNC and admit they were wrong. Seems very one sided to me.
-
@DoubleDD So you haven’t watched the press conferences, but you “truly believe in your heart” that people are out to get Trump when they call his response a disaster. That’s not rational. Your opinion isn’t delusional, it’s just not well informed. And millions of Americans are in the same boat.

Oh I’ve watched bits and pieces, and yes I think there is a unwarranted hate for Trump.
Example when Obama wanted to build a wall nobody said a word. Yet when Trump said lets build a wall somehow he’s painted as racist. That’s not rational.
Just saying some of the arguments against Trump are baseless and really are just hateful.
-
See I think you hang on what Trump says, I hang unto what he does. The problem of hanging unto what he’s says. It can be manipulated by your left-wing media outlets and new sources. Thereby spreading a false narrative that just isn’t true.
-
@DoubleDD tell me this. When did you become aware of “Obama wanting to build a wall”? Was it at the time “Obama wanted to build a wall” or was it when Trump “wanted to build a wall” and your media sources started pumping the maligned parity angle?
-
Both.
-
@DoubleDD I have watched it straight out his mouth. My opinion is unfiltered. What a gift to watch our supreme leader speak! The best!
-
Let’s see you judge me for watching Fox News? However I watch left wing media outlets too. So I guess I don’t see your point?

I think your perspective on the Democrats is only what is presented by the media, just like your perspective on Trump. And I’m not blaming you there. I didn’t watch many Obama press conferences either. I should have watched more. I’ve seen more first hand raw, uncut footage of Trump than all other president’s in my lifetime combined. Press conferences, state or the unions, rallies. And it’s all trash. The man is a narcissistic bullshitter. So please don’t try to tell me I don’t have my own opinion of him.
In general, I think seeing people speak uninterrupted and unfiltered would be good for us all. For instance, you gained an appreciation for Cuomo by seeing him speak directly.

I’m sorry you think so shallow of me. My thoughts are born of their actions and not of some opinion of a no journalist tv face. Whether it be Fox, CNN, MNBC, or even the New York Times. You have to look pretty hard for true journalism.
Here’s one thing we can agree on? I too think Trump is a bit of Narcissist. Yet I don’t think that means he can’t do the job. In fact he’s been doing a pretty good Job in all phases. In my humble opinion.
-
As for the DNC and the left wing media? They were trying to paint him as Russian spy? Lmao that is just crazy. The same DNC that sold a third of our uranium to the Russians. Talk about being hypocritical.
-
President Trump removed the chairman of the federal panel that Congress created to oversee his administration’s management of the $2 trillion stimulus package.
Explain it away.

Well I’d have todo more research, but it seems Glen fine was reporting to the DNC powers before the president of the Untied States.
Should not the president know where this stimulus money is going? I mean this is the same congress that wanted millions for the Kennedy center in the Corona virus stimulus package.
I mean I get you don’t like or trust Trump, but he is still the president.
-
Maybe we should start a new thread. We can call it is Trump a joke president?
-
Now he’s blaming WHO for COVID.
Frankly, imo asking the question “is Trump a joke?” Is like asking “Is global warming real?”
It depends on how much you appreciate facts.
-
What has Trump done successfully so far in three years?
I’m not going to give him credit for the economy, or ding him for a pandemic in this scenario.
What else has he done successfully? More troops in the Middle East. Huge deficit and increases in debt. No wall.
Please, someone, give me one positive defining success of his presidency thus far. Because I haven’t seen one.

Was watching the presser today as I’m off work. Skipped over most of it but there was one thing that kind of tripped me out. It appears that this Coronavirus is affecting the black Americans more so because of the health conditions. They didn’t have no numbers but that’s not good.

I don’t. I just don’t think the president has hardly anything to do with it period. Businesses make business decisions. It goes in ebbs and flows.
Sure policy can affect it. But it naturally has highs and lows.

@DoubleDD preexisting health conditions is one factor.
Also… populations in the cities in question are predominantly black, they probably are lower income and can’t telecommute for their jobs, and may not have access to information about COVID or tests.
But white privilege doesn’t exist.
So I’m all in on “racist disease”. Final answer!

I’m no economist but every indicator said the Trump economy is a very good. The lowest unemployment rates across the board for everybody regardless of race or gender. Factory jobs coming back. I don’t know what to tell you.

Full Story As a candidate during the 2016 campaign, President Donald Trump criticized the international agreement to curb Iran’s nuclear weapons’ program — formally called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action — that had been adopted the year before. He suggested that the U.S. had returned $150 billion to Iran as part of the deal.
That’s not true. We’ve written about this issue before. PolitiFact and the Washington Post have, too.
But Trump has repeated the claim as recently as December, when he tweeted: “The Democrats and President Obama gave Iran 150 Billion Dollars and got nothing, but they can’t give 5 Billion Dollars for National Security and a Wall?”
Trump’s bogus claim now has been repeated in a meme that references the president’s declaration of a national emergency to redirect federal funds for a proposed wall on the southern border.
The meme, which has been shared 149,000 times on Facebook, mentions the recent lawsuit brought against the Trump administration by 16 states to block the national emergency. The meme says: “So, when Obama bypassed the Congress while giving Iran 150 billion in cash, how many States had sued him?”
First of all, former President Barack Obama didn’t give “150 billion in cash” to Iran.
The nuclear agreement included China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union, so Obama didn’t carry out any part of it on his own. The deal did lift some sanctions, which lifted a freeze on Iran’s assets that were held largely in foreign, not U.S., banks. And, to be clear, the money that was unfrozen belonged to Iran. It had only been made inaccessible by sanctions aimed at crippling the country’s nuclear program.
Secondly, $150 billion is a high-end estimate of the total that was freed up after some sanctions were lifted. U.S. Treasury Department estimates put the number at about $50 billion in “usable liquid assets,” according to 2015 testimony from Adam Szubin, acting under secretary of treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence.
The part that the meme gets right, though, is that the deal didn’t get congressional approval. The Obama administration had maintained that the agreement wasn’t a treaty, which would have required approval by the Senate. Republicans did try to block the deal, but they weren’t able to get enough support to pass the legislation in the Senate.
However, the U.S. is now no longer part of the deal. Trump pulled out in May 2018.

With Drew the United States from the Paris accord climate crap?
Lol yes the US, Turkey and Iran. What company to keep.
Why yes why not? Why would the US taxpayer want to be in that accord?
Because I want my kids and grandkids to have an Earth.
Because the US is picking up the bill what are the countries like China and India get to continue to pollute the world at the same levels they are now dumb ass
That doesn’t absolve us from doing our part.
Agreed, but no reason to waste money on Something that really has no effect on the climate.
Sure and we could say this about dozens of things taking up more than less than a tenth of a percent of the yearly budget.
It’s not some huge win.

Hey I’m all about helping our environment, but don’t tell me we are going to bankrupt our Country so we can lower the average temp by not even a full degree. That makes no sense. Especially while China and India get to keep polluting at the high rates they are now. Not only that but these two countries would actually get money from the US. Go figure?

Since you guys are talking about pollution, I have some first hand knowledge of this. I test emissions from smoke stack across all industries in the US. One thing I can tell you (some of it is classified) is the the emissions reported are WAAAAAAAY under represented.
Once I get onsite and start collecting numbers, I sometimes spend a solid day tuning them in. And once I leave… guess I what? They crank their settings back to how ever they want and continue to operate.
This doesn’t happen to all facilities, but some and the ones that do are really bad.

United States isn’t actually doing that bad Its been on a downward trend for quite a while except for 2018. I think a lot of credit has to go to a obama in shutting down Coal. Even with Trump in office as he wants to bring back coal, it appears that it’s too late the energy companies have switched to natural gas. I don’t think we will go back to a Coal burning country. However that doesn’t mean we won’t sell it to places like China and India. But if we were in the Paris accord Would it really matter?
