First of all, I'm actually a proud American.  Unlike
you faux-conservatives, I actually love my country.

But what does where I live have to do with my question?
If you think it's being over-sensationalized, why did
he declare a state of emergency?  Why, a week ago, was
he saying it's no big deal and people with it should go
to work?  Why has the GOP blocked congressional efforts
to provide relief bills?  Why has Mitch McConnell gone
on a long weekend instead of staying to deal with this
crisis?

According to Rush Limbaugh, who you've admitted you
listen to, it's just the common cold.  So what's the
big deal?

GD> My office was closed Tuesday and Friday, because on Wednesday 3/11

Sounds like it might be a bigger deal than you fake
conservatives tried to make it out to be, huh?

GD> Several inaccurate statements.
GD> The wall has nothing to corona virus. It was built to stop the hordes of
GD> freeloaders from coming into the USA. You know what else this wall has a
GD> door. Known as ports of entry.

Ah, I see you cannot parse a metaphor.  I'm not surprised.
What's your level of education?

The reason I put "travel restrictions from China" in
parenthesis was because that's a metaphor for a wall:
Ie, the flawed logic that keeping the infected out will
protect us.

The rest of your drivel is debunked nonsense.

GD> Restrictions on Travel is smart it is not xenophobic and it has saved
GD> many hundreds of lives.

It was in fact the right thing to do.  However, the only
real effect it would have had was buying us time to prepare.
But Trump, the idiot that he is, squandered that opportunity.

In other words, and this is where you and the rest of the
right-wing noise machine are just plain wrong, travel
restrictions by themselves don't work: they only buy you
time.  So while it was a good idea to put in the restrictions,
the necessary follow-through wasn't done because it would
have made Trump look bad.

You and the rest of the sheep continue to bleat about what
a great idea it was without acknowledging that the other
more important opportunity it _could_ have afforded us was
squandered.

GD> Again you wrong, everything you have within the 5 above lines is reversed
GD> from what you indicated.

How, precisely, am I wrong?

GD> It's the Democratic Party that has an issue with the American Flag as it
GD> is not seen in abundance at the Democratic Debates.

First of all, I'm not a Democrat, but....

The American Flag is _not_ the country.  If you loved our
Constitution, you'd understand that it is an American's
right not to display it if they don't want.

But right-wingers can't understand that, because they lack
the mental capacity to distinguish between the symbol (ie,
the flag), and the thing that it symbolizes (ie, the nation).

If your metric is how many flags are displayed, then you're
just wrong.  This is America, not Nazi Germany.

GD> The Democratic Party uses people like pawns, they hand out free shit, to
GD> bribe them for their vote.

Oh really?  What free shit are they handing out?  This
ought to be amusing....

GD> Think I am wrong?

I don't think, I know.

GD> Then take a good hard look at San Francisco, California.
GD> People defecating in the streets. Drug needles in the streets by the
GD> hundreds. You would not live among this filth for 5 minutes, people do
GD> though.

I've been to San Francisco.  Yeah, one screwed up city
is obviously an indictment of more than half the country.

How about we look at the right-wing rural areas?  Lack
of industry, chronic health morbidities including obesity,
high-blood pressure, diabetes; unemployment; lack of
education; chronic substance abuse; crime; domestic violence;
high rates of STDs and teen pregnancy; lack of access to
healthcare; a megachurch on every corner with some idiot
preacher spouting a hateful perversion of whatever is in
the new testament; the list goes on and on and on.  I
can step over the feces in San Francisco, but the problems
in the red states are backed into generations of ignorance
and inbreeding.

GD>  DC> You aren't even really a conservative; you're just a
GD>  DC> cruel loser who wants to lash out at those who are
GD>  DC> better, smarter, and more successful than you.
GD>
GD> If you have to brag, then your not even remotely those things.

You're not much on reading comprehension, are you?

GD> You sound very much like your hammering keys within a white castle on a
GD> top of hill. (when in fact your probably in your pj's or underwear in
GD> your mom's basement.) Clean yourself up, your a disgrace.

Well, we know YOU can't be in your mom's basement because
most double-wide's don't have basements.

GD> Someone like Obama, perhaps? who did not stop travel and what happened
GD> thousands died.  No thanks, I will keep my President who is a business
GD> man, not a clueless black man, who was a community organizer.

Ah!  It FINALLY comes out!  You were just mad that Obama
is black.  Well, thanks for admitting it.  Compare Obama's
reactions to both H1N1 and Ebola to Trump's inaction on
COVID-19.  Who disbanded the pandemic response team on the
NSC?

Trump is a joke.
