Kryptonite for the Trump echo chamber

It's a Pandemic, stuck at home, this should liven up the discussion.
"That the pandemic occurred is not Trump’s fault. The utter unpreparedness of the United States for a pandemic is Trump’s fault. The loss of stockpiled respirators to breakage because the federal government let maintenance contracts lapse in 2018 is Trump’s fault. The failure to store sufficient protective medical gear in the national arsenal is Trump’s fault. That states are bidding against other states for equipment, paying many multiples of the pre-crisis price for ventilators, is Trump’s fault. Air travelers summoned home and forced to stand for hours in dense airport crowds alongside infected people? That was Trump’s fault too. Ten weeks of insisting that the coronavirus is a harmless flu that would miraculously go away on its own? Trump’s fault again.
The lying about the coronavirus by hosts on Fox News and conservative talk radio is Trump’s fault: They did it to protect him. The false hope of instant cures and nonexistent vaccines is Trump’s fault, because he told those lies to cover up his failure to act in time. The severity of the economic crisis is Trump’s fault; things would have been less bad if he had acted faster instead of sending out his chief economic adviser and his son Eric to assure Americans that the first stock-market dips were buying opportunities."

California Gov Newsome said Trump gave him everything he needed. Since, Cal is exporting ventilators to NYC and other hotspots and MASH units built by FEMA/Military are sitting empty now.
Washington is also exporting ventilators to hotspots. Meanwhile, hospitals are laying off healthcare workers and claiming the reason is elective surgery when in fact the epidemic was nowhere near the mass infection rates predicted of the original IHME model.
Felix, try rationalizing how anyone underestimated the virus impact on healthcare or Federal response to the kneejerk whims of liberal governors.

You just used “Felix” and “rationalization” in the same sentence. He lost the capacity to think critically a long time ago.

Please, your ignorance and bias are showing.
The psyche of America is fragile right now. Very fragile. We are facing not only health and economic crises, but a psychological crisis that could have serious consequences.
People are rightly scared and confused. Americans want a unified, bipartisan approach to overcoming this disaster. They don't need to be frightened by attacks on our leaders, false claims, doom & gloom and misinformation coming from the MSM, intent on destroying our president for political gain.
Opening investigations into Trump's handling of the pandemic and suggesting, at this point, that he has 'blood on his hands' is beyond inappropriate! There will be plenty of time for that later. Not the right time for political opportunism.
It's a shame that some networks are not streaming the daily WH briefing sessions, but choose to send their reporters! The constant attacks on Trump and his team are unconscionable in the context of a world-wide pandemic.
Mocking him for saying positive things about hydroxychloroquine. Calling him racist and a xenophobe for shutting down our borders to China in late January. Trying to embarrass him with gotcha questions, only to demean themselves.
If we can't come together now, our country may never recover from this media Pandemic. It's slowly killing and dividing us.
Harsh analysis, yes, but from the heart.

There is blame going back to W but not on W as he was key to getting the US ready. It also falls to Congress for spending on dookie that was sketchy instead of stuff we would need for a pandemic. Even ole BHO to boot.
To pretend that Trump is entirely at fault is foolish, he was left trying to pick up a turd by the clean end. He could and should have ramped up PPE orders FAR earlier than March and that is where I fault him most but Felix , your desire to lay this all at his feet is simply ludicrous.

We were too worried about North Korea.

No, the House leadership was too busy trying to impeach Trump. Also, China lied.
This thing caught the whole World by surprise except for the Globalists that are responsible. This is a bio weapons attack plain and simple. They will be exposed and pay for this.
