The thing is, no matter what the Democrats said, Trump's restriction was utterly ineffective. The reason why? Well, the main reason is that he didn't ban air travel with Europe for another 40 days. 40 days!  And he actually waited another 4 days to ban travel with the UK and Ireland. Coincidentally, he has 3 golf resorts in those nations.  The virus strains that ravaged New York came from Europe. Clearly, the only reason he banned travel with China was a political one to point blame And he didn't actually ban travel from there.  Just restricted it but took no steps to quarantine travelers from China.

His restriction on china still allowed over 40,000 to come in.

That has been proven untrue many times already on here.

did you see him dancing to YMCA at Sanford Florida rally ?

Dancing while 210,000+ dead and their families grieving. He never brings up condolences, just what a "superman" he is. What a loser!

Yeah, THAT'S the way to win over Florida seniors.

It's almost as if he's TRYING to lose, and I'm certainly not the first to have voiced that observation.

Well, I'm going to do something different and post about fracking. It turns out in Pennsylvania, the fracking industry was collapsing even before Covid.

And fracking is not so popular in Pennsylvania as you might think:

He doesn't need one, business is voting for a Biden win.

Lawn signs? What is that? Any Australian putting out political signs on their lawns would be marked down by their neighbors as a brick short of a load.

We use car bumper stickers. Many of them say don't blame me, I voted for the opposition party.

If retirees were an important component of the Florida electorate you might have a point. But since...oh wait a minute...

Do businesses vote in the US?

Or maybe you mean that they buy votes, or elections, like in most other banana republics...

[LawrenceN]

...because the reputation of fracking is so good. Oh, how my heart aches whenever I hear someone disrespecting the magic of fracking. God forbid we should protect our groundwater or plan for the day when fossil fuels run their course. Only a socialist would support new technologies that provide clean energy at a fraction of the cost.

Pleeeeeeze! Businesses don't give a fig for ANY politician (or any human being for that matter). They only care who is more profitable, and they seem to be giving Joe the nod.

Not as such, but they do place their bets in the markets, mostly hedging currencies. Sorry, can't post a link to the original article. The author presents a fairly convincing argument the bets are on Biden.

Complete B.S.! Pelosi complained about the second Muslim ban.

"Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) ripped President Trump’s expanded travel ban after he included six other countries to the list of those that will face increased travel restrictions. 

January 31

“The Trump Administration’s expansion of its outrageous, un-American travel ban threatens our security, our values and the rule of law. The sweeping rule, barring more than 350 million individuals from predominantly African nations from traveling to the United States, is discrimination disguised as policy,” Pelosi said in a statement."

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/480991-pelosi-trumps-expanded-travel-ban-is-outrageous-un-american-and-threatens-rule

 

"A viral video makes the bogus claim that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Jan. 31 tweet criticized the Trump administration’s restriction on travelers from China to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. Her tweet was unrelated to those travel restrictions."

https://www.factcheck.org/2020/04/video-misconstrues-pelosi-tweet-on-un-american-travel-ban/

 

Please show us a single quote from Pelosi or Biden criticizing Trump for deciding the China Travel ban (mentioning the CHINA travel ban). There is none. Actually, contrary to what Trump claims, nobody really cared about it. He just decided what 50 other countries decided at around the same time.

Are you advocating for physical violence against the president?

 

 

I'm advocating handcuffs and jail time, is that OK?

[Walker88]

So apparently one of 'the greatest crimes in history' (sic), the great unmasking, turned out to be yet another nothingburger from 45.  Of course anyone who has held TS/SCI clearance and put in multiple regular requests for unmasking---it's really rather common and necessary---knew the goose chase was wildly going nowhere from Day One.

 

Losing that seems to have prompted 45 to simply skip any politically-driven 'investigation' and just go straight for whatever he can spur-of-the-moment pull from where the sun doesn't shine. His latest is that Pres Obama killed DEVGRU.  Ah, no, 45, he didn't, and only the deepest in the weeds part of his clueless and ignorant base would buy that. It does not expand his base, so he's looking more and more likely to get a shellacking on 3 November, an outright humiliation and repudiation of everything he is and represents.

Biden dident just another trump desperation lie like his unmasking bs I have a feeling this is going to go one of two ways trump slinks out of the White House in the dead of night after a humiliating loss or he try’s to steal the election through the courts and ends up beeing escorted off the grounds he’s toast imo

I saw an interview with the previous British ambassador to the US. He told us how he was "surprised" when he drove around American towns before the 2016 election at how many lawn signs there were for Trump when all the polls were giving a sure victory for HRC. When he spoke to people they were all for Trump.

I guess the pollsters weren't asking those people.

The polls were correct.
