Re: Trump Refuses Responsibility for Extant Policies
Maybe he knew about it, maybe not, I don't see that it matters. He approves of its having been done away with as of no use.
Why would he want to bring back the system that was so inadequate at responding to the need for massive testing for the virus?

Re: Trump Refuses Responsibility for Extant Policies
Yes of course, your credentials for the job are only growing apace. I do hope you will offer your superior talents to our President who is so obviously in need of them.

Re: Trump Refuses Responsibility for Extant Policies
Good grief. Knowing about it now doesn't mean he knew about it at the moment of the decision. Maybe he forgot, who knoews, who cares.
I think he's doing a good job at leadership myself.
There was some system in operation for supplying what little they could of testing materials.

Re: Trump Refuses Responsibility for Extant Policies
Gosh I refused to ADDRESS your point? I'm SO sorry if so. I thought I was disagreeing with it. Mea culpa I'm sure.

Re: Some validation of McCarthy
Looks like an interesting book but that isn't what I thought I remembered either. The one I found comes closer because I think it was about a Russian source.

Seems to me Trump's press conference treated the virus very seriously. Nobody really knows what to expect, though, we're all hunkered down and waiting for all the cases to manifest that have infected people without symptoms so far.

Re: Trump Refuses Responsibility for Extant Policies
And since you and the Left in general put all YOUR energy into bashing the man it's no wonder if so much of what he says is on the defensive. But he HAS been blamed for a lot of stuff Obama did. Not that I expect anyone here to acknowledge that.
I'm just amazed he's able to function so well with all the artillery that batters him every minute of every day.

Re: Trump Refuses Responsibility for Extant Policies
Well, but of COURSE you "can only " bash Trump, there is nothing else possible for you.
So he delegated responsibility to others and forgot about it, SO WHAT?

Re: Some validation of McCarthy
THE VERONA PROJECT!!! THAT's what I couldn't remember. Well, that's a relief, thanks.
Yes it's not quite that Usdin justifies McCarthy but the concern that information about spies in the US government is unreasonably dismissed for fear of justifying him gives some credibility to him. And I think it should. Circus or not, excessive or not, there WERE spies in the US government and there were plenty of Communists in Hollywood and elsewhere in the country. Their influence has only grown over the last few decades. We are now reaping the effects of Communist influence.

No problem, I found out it's Venona when I searched on it.

Re: Arguing that Republicans couldn't manage an economy if they wanted to
What on earth is that guy blathering on about? The Friday press conference brought out some innovative ideas on how the private sector could work with government on the various needs concerning the pandemic. I thought it was rather ingenious and could be very productive.

Re: George Will on Trump
I used to like George Will, but he's lost me completely in his Never-Trumper phase. In the context of the neverending attacks on Trump it's clearly Trump's sense of humor that led him to make the comment about President's Day but Trump's enemies have no sense of humor whatever.
Trump HAS handled the crisis just fine.

Re: George Will on Trump
Trump never declared the pandemic a hoax, he declared the Leftist hype about it the hoax, intended as an attack on Trump as usual of course.

Re: George T. Conway III on Trump
Shouldn't even you be getting tired of the incessant attacks on Trump about absolutely everything, now including the Corona virus? As he says in the video his administration's response to the problem has been early and effective but they continue to attack him anyway. Yes Trump too often speaks in hyperbole, you can get him on that but not to the extent he's usually subjected to. In responding to the attacks he overstates things he then has to take back. Those who support him might be more inclined to comment on these errors if it weren't for the incessant overkill from his enemies. Their incessant attacks are the hoax.

Re: Trump Versus the Experts
When they accuse him of lyyng that's the end of it for me. He talks too freely playing up the lack of danger on the basis of the small number of cases and the fact that he has acted to prevent the problem from spreading and has supported programs to deal with it. That's not llying and I'm sick of the Left's inability to appreciate his many achievements. I have to agree that his response is a ten. They acted early and they've put a lot of important measures in place. The Left's disproportionate reactions to a very effective leader are contemptible.
AbE: When I have to answer posts with words in them that are censored for me, which censorship originated I know not where, I don't see how I can be expected to search for alternative words since they aren't my words to begin with.
