In Case You Didn't Know

In numerous phone calls and emails with key agencies across the U.S. government, the only consistent response I encountered was distressed confusion.

I would certainly like a break from all the primary election coverage. Let's hear all about how our president weakened our response to the next killer virus.

The media isn't going to address anything negative about DJT...........if they had from the beginning, he would never have been made president. I'm sorry if I am negative about the media, but I keep hoping they will tell all the crap DJT's done and we hear very little about it. IF it had been a democrat - it would have been headlines in big black bold print!!!

If it wasn't for the international economic implications, he'd be A-OK with it.

Viral infections don't discriminate - unlike them. If they think (well, if he thinks) he's immune from viral infections, he's approaching a level of stupidity that would be more aptly classified as vegetative. People can be germaphobes and still get sick.

But hell yes, I believe he'd classify this as a national emergency and close the borders, followed by enforced widespread quarantines, followed by cancellation of the upcoming 2020 national and statewide elections. He's demonstrated this level of depravity.
