Trump Admin prepares to attack Obama in effort to prosecute rewriting recent history

None of the governors in a million years would have expected the lackluster response from the fed government. They were all looking for guidance that never came. That's Trumps way of managing. Put it off on everyone else so he has them to blame. Didn't work. The majority of governors have approval ratings way above Trumps.

Except Kemp (R). He's the Georgia governor who claimed to not know about asymptomatic spread. He lied. His numbers prove it.

Apparently then the Governors are civics challenged ignoring that they are the First responders not the President. They control their state not the President, and it is their reaction which cost the state lives. I posted the Coronavirus time line which you ignored and I continue to post the results that you ignore. You keep focused on testing as showing incompetence when the reality is testing is a waste of time and money when you don't have mandatory social distancing and quarantine. You keep ignoring post 88 as well that shows real incompetence and illegal activities
 
Traitors don't have rights, Flynn should have gone straight to gitmo no questions asked.

Do you know what a McCarthyite is? You sound like one.

 
What you show is actual results don't matter, the pre pandemic results and the pandemic recovery. People like you aren't slightly liberal they are radical liberals never offering any data to support your claim, always placing blame like you are doing with the pandemic and closed economy, and always ignoring results. Trump's pre pandemic results are the best of any President in history when put into context, a word the left doesn't understand,


Trump's pre pandemic was built on Obama's great recovery, however trump kept artificially stimulating the economy creating a bubble that was just looking for a pin to pop it.

Recession was inevitable, regardless of the pandemic...
 
White nationalism is your claim and ignores the African American results generated by Trump pre pandemic, why are you ignoring results and promoting racism

African American unemployment 8.0% vs. 6.0% February 2020? That explains the surge in support from African Americans for Trump

What you don't get is the fact that the reduction of people needing public assistance "did not decrease to a dramatic level to indicate a full quality employment to reduce the needs of temporary assistance even further"... which in part means a % of people working were still underpaid to a degree they still may have needed some level of assistance to get through month to month living cost.

When we can generate low unemployment numbers and also a higher reduction of people who need Temporary Assistance, then we have some "Growth in Employment" at a level that people can earn and maintain from month to money without needing more program assistance.

That is what it will take to move people to Middle Class Living and Cost Standards in Earning....

There are Millions of people, black and white... would would like to work and earn and NOT need any type of public program assistance.

That won't happen until the Government finds a way to ensure people are Paid a Living Wage for Full Time Employment, that meet the actual and real cost of living.

Everyone is not going to be a desk riding degree holder, everyone is not going to be some degree'd professional, Society could not even function under such... it still requires the people doing the wide variety of jobs that exist. They should not have to earn less than what is needed to cover, home, food, transportation, personal care items and medical care.

Example: some cities the people who work Garbage Disposal, are so severely underpaid, that its a travesty... because without their services... we'd have a full unsanitary society with garbage everywhere. Yet, if they choose medical, it reduces their pay check to a level, they may not be able to pay rent and feed their family... and many are left out of the loop of even coming close to owning a home... yet, they work "everyday"... the full shift, and many work any extra time that services are needed. In some cases, if they don't get to work the extra time.. they suffer challenges, because summer electricity is very high, and gas is very high in the winter.

We see across this nation, Janitorial people "underpaid"... yet no one wants to go into a unclean office or facility of any type. It's time we value the work people do... and pay them a wage where they too, can take care of their families.

Today, Retirement is for the wealthy... many working people among the working poor, have found they need to go get extra work, but what is sad about that is, many are abusively used, because of age and the type of jobs they can get, they are not paid at a level that would independently support themselves and certainly not a family.

What is the president supposed to do?
 
History about the Trump era has not yet been written. Once it is, your feelings about Trump wont matter any more.

By far, the worst president ever. !!!!!!!

My feelings about Trump won't change... His behavior is childish, self centered and as un-presidential as it gets. But he also did a much better job than I ever thought he would by taking measures to equal out trade disparities, actually taking steps to secure the border and addressing illegal immigration, and he managed to get some American companies back to the country that were operating abroad.

Going into his presidency I believed it was very possible he would end up being the worse president ever, but that didn't happen. As far as his behavior, he was the worse, but policy wise, he's done a pretty good job.

Absolutely, a gift to the departed Obama and everyday I thank Obama for giving us Trump. Interesting how you never post the context in which you make that claim and how you ignore the dollar growth in GDP from consumer spending so thank you Obama for the tax cuts, the full time employment growth due to of course Obama's removal of the mandatory taxes on ACA, and the reduction in part time jobs for economic reasons. Since the results were so great after Obama left office just think how great they would have been had he left earliery.

Your loyalty to Obama is most appreciated by Obama, why don't you explain why you have such loyalty. Post 88 is ignored
 
Got it, testing is the first step so tell me what good is testing without mandatory social distancing and quarantine?

What you want to ignore is the liberal reaction to anything Trump would have said in January based upon the time line you were given. This is all about continued hatred of Trump that it appears the American people are sick of as indicated by the California and Wisconsin special election results. You keep buying the media talking points that defy long and common sense of the highlighted above. You can have all the testing kits in the world but you cannot force Americans to give up their individual freedoms to be tested


This Administration relied on CDC and WHO, 20/20 hindsight is what you and the left always does ignoring the facts in that timeline.


You are aware that even with the massive voter surpression the liberal judge replaced a trump backed republican on the supreme Court right.

In the race to replace Duffy, the democrat narrowly lost with 47% of the vote.

It's the first time in many years a democrat got over 40% in that massively gerrymandered district, it has been a 100% safe republican district for decades.

Not exactly impressive...

Is that why consumer spending in Trump's first three years almost matches Obama's consumer spending results for 8, people under paid?

I should investigate more? LOL, you really need to be the one looking at context instead of letting the left make a fool out of you. I am waiting for you to post actual results to support your opinions as apparently the official results are manufactured hype and apparently you aren't among the 52% that support Trump on the economy. What a shock!

Oh absolutely, voter suppression is rampant in the Republican party as they promote internet voting, giving driver's licenses to illegals to use to get access to the voting booths, tying up all the buses and restaurants to get people to the polls and posting Black Panther radicals outside of the voting booths to assure the safety of voters.

It is also absolutely amazing that during the 40 years of the Democrat control of the House that Gerrymandering was never an issue. It is also quite interesting how states voting increased Senate control for the Republicans showing of course voter suppression. What you show is that hate marketing sells with people like you but the silent majority isn't impressed

Still interested in why such loyalty to liberalism where the rhetoric doesn't match the results? Also you keep ignoring post 88 turning a blind eye to Obama corruption

I like that past tense you're using there. Lets hope it holds up to Nov 3rd.

Pretty simple he is hands down the best president in modern America.

He pulled us out of the second greatest republican economic collapse in American history, well until now, did more for the environment since any president since Nixon, didn't touch my guns, took out bin laden, helped farmers, passed the first healthcare bill ever, (remember healthcare is complicated on right) and on and on...

You over inflate your numbers on Trump.... Please explain the "debt" cycle that corporations carry, as well as the increased "budget deficit" and the pre-pandemic increase to the National Debt....

At this stage, all three are needed. At the early stage of the spread the testing of incoming travelers from China and quarantine measures made sense versus a countrywide policy; one of the backdoors which didn't get addressed were travelers from Italy since that became the second hot spot very early on. The travel restrictions on travel from Europe didn't come until March. Right now the testing will be useful in knowing who is safe to return to work etc. versus who isn't. If we don't have more insight into the carriers of the disease, we go into it somewhat blind. We have not been under a full quarantine since people have been going out for a variety of reasons.

What you want to ignore is the liberal reaction to anything Trump would have said in January based upon the time line you were given.

Had he said anything that made sense then perhaps, but much of what he was saying was contradictory to what was playing out in the affected areas. He made a variety of remarks that he either couldn't possibly know (the disease would "disappear" in April, the 15 cases would be 0 etc.) which opened him up to harsher criticism. I don't discount that a president will always be criticized, but Trump invites more because he often says pretty outlandish things.

This is all about continued hatred of Trump that it appears the American people are sick of as indicated by the California and Wisconsin special election results.

How can you make that correlation? The Wisconsin seat was held by a GOP Rep, so should it be surprising a GOP candidate won? The only one which was a flip was California, which was fueled by the scandal and not based on policy.

You keep buying the media talking points that defy long and common sense of the highlighted above. You can have all the testing kits in the world but you cannot force Americans to give up their individual freedoms to be tested

:doh

Who is talking about giving up freedoms? Having the amount of tests available is the issue. That all of this has become an ideological battle instead of a medical one is tragic.



This Administration relied on CDC and WHO, 20/20 hindsight is what you and the left always does ignoring the facts in that timeline.

None of this explains the lack of a cohesive effort on the part of this administration to secure the materials needed for ramping up PPE and testing supplies for when things did get bad. Add to that the messaging from Trump himself throughout that period which downplayed the virus despite the growing rates in Asia, the ME, and Europe.

I will when you explain the budget lime items that are up discretionary and mandatory spending along with the taxed you pay and their purpose

Again, this post is an excellent example of how hate sells in this country and how poorly informed many on the left are with regards to economics and basic civics. Your inability to understand context and the official data as well as poor understanding of the effects Congress has on the economy is why liberals don't have any credibility.

The results you want to believe don't reconcile with the actual results generated with context. The "best President in modern history" lost the House in 10-12-14-16 and the Senate in 14-16 along with being the only President in modern history to win re-election getting fewer votes than his original win. He has duped a lot of people including you with rhetoric and diverted you from actual research of results.

Until you recognize that testing without mandatory social distancing and quarantine will never work responding to you is a waste of time. You continue to buy the liberal rhetoric and ignore logic and common sense. Placing blame is what the left does and you are fitting right into the pack
 
The contacts were in 2015 hardly making this about any "incoming administration" Trump was not even running yet. Mueller documented 100's of these continuing contacts with known Russian operatives during the campaign also. I suppose you think that our intelligence agencies should have just ignored this infiltration of our political parties and elections because Putin is our friend right?

Yep, it was so bad they didn't bother to inform the political campaign in which it was happening or the other one in which the exact same thing was happening. Your concern trolling of behavior that is a regular occurrence is noted, and wadded up and thrown into a fire to burn like the rubbish it is.

Those warnings from GB belie you ridiculous attempt to normalize clandestine contacts with spies of our adversary and a Presidential campaign. Especially when that very adversary was proven to be illegally meddling in the election of said Presidential candidate. It is beyond stupid to not see the correlation so I can only surmise that you are complicit with Putin's infiltration of our govt. and it's institutions. It is disgusting to see so many of you turn your backs on your country. You will not be welcomed back and I am sorry for you. It will not be easy for you to be man without a country.

Completely due to the missinformation campaign by the be rabid right attacking the ACA which is wildly popular now that people know the GOP was flat out lying...
 
You calling anyone partisan is rich!!!

I did notice you were unable discredit any of Obama's accomplishments.

Let's see how he rates against trump.

The greatest US presidents ranked, according to political scientists - Business Insider

You haven't posted any but you also have ignored it when I have, here is an example

GDP dollars and GDP dollar growth, 487 billion growth is what Trump inherited, what was it in 2017-2018-2019?

DP and Dollar change
2008 14712.8
2009 14448.9
2010 14992.1


2011 15,542.6 +804.4
2012 16197.0 +562.4
2013 16784.9 +587.9
2014 17527.3 +652.4
2015 18224.8 +697.5
2016 18715.0 +487.2
2017 19519.4 +804.4
2018 20,580.2 +1060.8
2019 21427.1 +846.9

Then there is this which Trump inherited and the comparison through February 2020. Anyone that claims the GDP growth now is similar to what Obama had is the true hack and totally has no credibility. GDP components are
The four components of gross domestic product are personal consumption, business investment, government spending, and net exports. .

Unemployment Rate 4.7% January 2017 vs. 3.6% February 2020-U-3

Employed 152.2 million January 2017 to 157.9 million today so 6 million job growth from 2008 to 2017(146 million to 152 million) is celebrated but 6.7 million growth I the last three years isn't!! LOL

U-6 in January 2017 9.3% vs 6.9% February 2020? Wow!! 2.4% better U-6 obviously meaningless to you

Part time for economic reasons, 5.7 million January 2017 vs. 4.2 million February 2020? Looks to me that incredible job growth you claim was boosted by part time jobs. Part time for economic reason jobs when the recession started 4.8 million, 5.7 million when Obama left office

African American unemployment 8.0% vs. 6.0% February 2020?

Apparently feelings in your world trump reality so tell us how the greatest President in modern history had such poor electoral results during his term and how his legacy was destroyed in post 88
