No I did not. I replied to Conservative's post, post #52 and the YOU butted in, post # 59.
I just watched the Tom Hanks movie "Sully" last night and it almost gave me a lump in my throat for a moment because it made me realize just how badly we NEEDED a "Captain Sully" moment in this pandemic.
America desperately needed a "Captain Sully" to safely land us in the Hudson, with the 1200 first responders all rushing up from the water, from the air, from the harbor, all those helping hands reaching out to save all 155 passengers from our "aircraft" after Sully did his perfect "Forced Water Landing".
Instead we have a 21st Century version of Captain Ahab, with Obama forced into the role of the whale.
I can see nothing is going to change your mind as you obviously need a Joe Biden in the WH with his empty resume so you feel better about the office as actual results don't matter. the left which you are a part of has no problem giving up someone else's freedoms but never your own. what freedoms are you willing to give up, freedom of speech?
Setting an example? Since when did you ever buy anything Trump had to say for the past three years. Stop the leftwing BS and accept the fact that politics of personal destruction are your ideology and that doesn't win national elections,
Decades of public service is not an empty resume. The rest of your post is so ridiculous I won't waste any time responding.
In your nanny state personal responsibility doesn't exist, in the liberal ideology you promote hatred politics of personal destruction, and scare tactics to grow power. What freedoms are you willing to give up for your ideology, how about freedom of speech?
Anything that throws Trumps obese ass out to the curb is fine with me.
Because I do NOT practice 'whataboutism" as a way to excuse Trumps sins. That is how.

I saw the movie a few years ago. I was shocked at how the airline tried to hang/scapegoat Sully for the incident. I wasn't aware of any of that at the time.
For those who like to play word games and semantics: no, I do NOT believe that Trump is responsible for the existence of the current pandemic.
I DO believe that he is responsible for botching the response to this. I feel that his lack of leadership, empathy and competency has made the situation worse.
Because they are academics playing with mathematical models So far, these pinheads with their models are batting 0% with this virus. You like it you bizarrely believe it reflects badly on the President.
The ones that if I posted here would be off topic, go to the Gov't spending Forum and look at how big the debt will be or any other economic thread. The results have been the best of any President in history for his first three years in office, those were ignored but now it is time to focus on pandemic economic results to try and make Trump look bad and divert from his real economic record.
You people keep talking about results from Trump's presidency. Well good results for you are bad results for someone else. For instance, I think it's horrible he put so many conservative judges on the court. I think it's horrible that he removed so many LIFE SAVING regulations. The list goes on and on.
We will both find out this November who think's Trumps results were so great.
We will find out in November if you people pay any attention to results
GDP dollars and GDP dollar growth, 487 billion growth is what Trump inherited, what was it in 2017-2018-2019?
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 personal consumption, business investment, government spending, and net exports. Obama's GDP growth was 4.3 trillion 8 years, Trump 2.7 trillion three, Obama's due to gov't spending, Trump consumer spending

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 in the last three years isn't!! ]Notice: Data not available: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

U-6 in January 2017 9.3% vs 6.9% February 2020? Wow!! 2.4% better U-6 obviously meaningless to you. U-6 indicates economic activity and includes all the under employed

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

IMO given the recovery after 2008 any administration elected in 2016 would have shown gains at least that good. It's easy building on the work of others. Few however would have set the stage for the down turn that was coming. In a way, the virus has saved Trump the embarrassment of the down turn by giving him something to blame.
Now, there's a statistic the Trump administration excells at.......blame.
Maybe maybe not, then again it was you that made the assertion, so my expertise whether real or lacking is not relevant.I'm no more or less of an expert than you are.
Its all good.Well, I'll just take your word for it because I don't have the time to research. My apologies.
A Columbia University study has shown that if Social Distancing had started just 1 week earlier than it started, over 36,000 deaths from Covid-19 could have been prevented.
As it is, Trump did not address the virus threat until 9 weeks after the first infection was reported, whereas South Korea and Germany addressed the virus within 1-2 weeks after the first reported infection and therefore have shown less deaths per capita than we show. Just imagine how many lives would have been saved if Trump had done the same thing here as in those countries if just starting 1 week earlier could have saved over 36,000 lives.
As I have stated many times before, Trump is incompetent and will end up causing us all more problems and deaths that some other president. Here is proof of this.
those rules were based off of the Governors
Also Trump reacted earlier than 9 weeks
Last, people didnt social distance even when it was enforced and got it, it isnt alll politics
Absolutely because success isn't something you understand as we definitely need liberalism back in charge making more people dependent. The nanny state requires massive gov't intervention and scare tactics to steal freedoms. There is a reason the left is fighting Trump so hard, going to be a bloodbath for Democrats in November
Keep promoting the negativity and scare tactics while ignoring actual verifiable results
You absolutely do when it comes to Democrats nor it is a whataboutism. Pelosi deliberately caused the delay you complain of by blocking all funding. Testing and buying tests isn't free - and for 8 days Pelosi blocked even $1 dollar for testing. In short, the OP is a lie. Pelosi, not Trump, caused the week's delay and she did it deliberately.
Start with fatty Nadler.
The president didn't lose 1 minute. The governors did. Tell that to the 36,000 corpses.Tell that to the 36,000 corpses the Columbia study talked about today in the NY Times. Trump lost us six valuable weeks and thousands died.
