Biden Tells Crowd At End Of February "It's Not A Time To Panic About Coronavirus"

"Eric Lipson #BlueWave2020

Carl Bernstein — Bob Woodward's old reporting partner — says the tape of Trump admitting to downplaying COVID-19 is worse than Watergate, calling it 'homicidal negligence'. #TrumpLiedPeopleDied

Remember only one thing from this absurd thread, Trump was not President when bad things happened, he was only President when good things happened. All the bad stuff is someone else's fault.
 
Show me an example of that..... Let me help you, you can't. Because that is not a sin that I am guilty of..... I think its far more likely that it you that takes him out of context; thinking he is something that he is not.

For one, I would never take a single sentence from a speech and try to make an issue out of it. That is, by definition, taking things out of context.



Ah no, there you go. Reading deep meaning in a single statement without any of the rest of the speech. That is, by definition, taking things out of context. Its a little like taking a single Bible verse had extrapolating great meaning from it. No, context is everything.

You is the left, not you personally. But, I'd bet money that you either do it all the time yourself or go right along with others and the media who do.
 
I want everybody to read posts like the above and think very, very hard about being baited by "It's just an anonymous source!" arguments in the future.

There is never a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow in arguing that the claim of an anonymous source is true. Only more trolling awaits you.

The next time a trump supporter mocks your article for having an anonymous source, and if you're using a high quality news outlet like NYTimes or WaPo, ignore him.

That is a live video of Creepy Joe. How is it an anonymous source? We dont know the name of the cameraman?
 
I don't see any indication that Joe's leadership would have been any better, and from this video clip, I get the feeling that his leadership would have been worse.

Remember Pelosi's reaction? "It's in God's hands!"

I don't see any indication of trump's leadership, but lots of indications that his priority isn't the american people, but his hold on power.

I bet you money you are wrong. Feel free to call me out on it if you see it. I work pretty hard to make sure I don't take things out of context, though I can be guilty of a sloppy read of someone's post, particularly when they ramble. That is not the same thing.

The media is a resource for me, not a guiding star. I do not "go along with the media". If you have read many of my posts, I often populate them with multiple cites. If I have an opinion about something, I typically check it to multiple sources to validate it before posting. Its pretty rare you see others do that, particularly those from the "right".... likely because where they get their information from is an embarrassment.
 
It's fairly easy to criticize people in retrospect.

What would Biden, if President (God forbid) have done differently?

The key might be in this clip of Joe talking to a crowd of supporters at the end of February, saying "It's not a time to panic."

Doesn't sound like the type of behavior characteristic of someone who would have immediately shut down the country. As Joe likes to fantasize that he would have done.



So,why only 6 seconds of a speech? Could it be the lying tactic known as 'Quote Mining'? What is the context? What is the rest of the statement?

Did you ever consider that he was basing his information on the LIES coming from the WH?
 
OP is obviously a failed desperate attempt to divert attention from what America learned POTUS withheld/lied from/to Americans about going back to Jan/Feb.

Every time you see this kind of crap, you know the poster is a desperate Trump supporter who only cares about loving the worst person in America. Reuben knows Biden will win this election barring a Hail Mary pass from Moscow.
 
Whoa there.

Trump talked down the intensity of the situation so the country wouldn't panic.

I remember being scared to death, hearing Pelosi telling us it was in God's hands, and then seeing Trump on television letting the public know that we weren't all going to die.

But this claim that Biden would have immediately shut down the country runs counter to everything we know about the Democratic response to this, and now, what we see on video.
Is this the same Trump that wanted us to panic over caravans heading to our border from Mexico, in the run up to the 2018 election? Is this the same Trump that is now telling us to panic that Democrats want MS13 to move next door to you in the suburbs? Is this the same Trump that's trying to get us to panic over his claim that Democrats are encouraging looting and anarchy in American cities?

You know, that guy?

Trump downplayed the virus because he didn't want it to rock the economy, which he was relying upon to win re-election. The number of American casualties was irrelevant to his objective.

I added Reuben to my ignore list after I told him he has one chance to prove me wrong about Trump and all he did was tell me another lie.

Yeah. People should be outraged that 'any' one individual sat on/lied about info that Americans are entitled to be informed about. The Repubs say they hate big government, but most are sitting on their tongues about Trump clearly putting us all at risk, and having the audacity to tell us we aren't mature enough to know the truth 'because we will/may panic. It's indisputable sitting on this info cost American lives all across the political spectrum. Quite frankly, I find it to be criminal.
 
Biden’s whole claim is that, if President, he would have forced a nationwide shutdown immediately, and saved lives.

From what I see on this video, this claim is BS.

You only showed 6 seconds of a video that would be irrelevant to your statement. Would you mind posting the section of the video that had you come to that conclusion? We would all like to see it.

Do you go along with Biden and the left that Trump said bad remarks about dead military personnel?

So what?

He ****ing lied. Constantly. Your defense of that is hilariously ridiculous.

Add this one to another edition of:

"Mommy why do they call us cultists?"​

Their entire election strategy is to insist 200k people aren’t dead with more coming, 10’s of millions aren’t out of work with more coming, and that actually Trump should win a Nobel Prize because rioters are burning down courthouses.

****ing. INSANE.
 
You have no idea what "liberals" would have done if President Trump would have taken a different approach in telling the American people about the virus. If you did not know the pandemic and dealing with CV19 is not right or left issue. it is an American issue and a World issue.

It is not surprising the President Trump believes the downplaying was needed. He was banking that the majority of Americans are stupid.
Seems at least for his supporters he got it right.

His supporters are not a majority.
 
Yeah, but Orange Man Bad.

Standard Disclaimer: Overconfidence is a massive mistake. Reviewing the humiliating defeat of Felonia Milhous Von Pantsuit, the obvious factor was her arrogance. Even with the caution of avoiding undue confidence, it's hard NOT to see an utter destruction of the Marxist democrats as inevitable. A route of the Communists in the house seems nearly assured as the 2018 faux-moderates are sent packing - since none were even close to moderate. The Marxists might pick up the seat from McSally, but they lose Doug Jones, making the Senate a wash. Trump will utterly crush Biden - despite massive and unprecedented fraud by the Communists.
 
Trump downplayed a serious virus for political purposes.

End of story.

Why did Beijing Biden downplay a serious virus?

Oh yeah, for political purpose.

Communists are such reeking hypocrites.
