    Dems don’t lie: they don’t need to. Dirty Donnie hasn’t spoken one truth since before the election. And his Trumpsters swallow it all and mindlessly defend him.

    It truly comical. Dance , little Trumpsters, dance !

    They don't want to take maximum action-they want to criticize.

    Trump had control of congress at the time.

    The “pandemic response team” firing claim referred to news accounts from Spring 2018 reporting that White House officials tasked with directing a national response to a pandemic had been ousted.

    Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer abruptly departed from his post leading the global health security team on the National Security Council in May 2018 amid a reorganization of the council by then-National Security Advisor John Bolton, and Ziemer’s team was disbanded. Tom Bossert, whom the Washington Post reported “had called for a comprehensive biodefense strategy against pandemics and biological attacks,” had been fired one month prior.

    It’s thus true that the Trump administration axed the executive branch team responsible for coordinating a response to a pandemic and did not replace it, eliminating Ziemer’s position and reassigning others, although Bolton was the executive at the top of the National Security Council chain of command at the time.

    :) Do you really think the Dems would have voted against a bill they approved 5 years earlier.
    No. Trump just let it die because it had Obama cooties on it.

    It's amazing and it started immediately with Schumer declaring the $2.8B WAS NOT ENOUGH and he demande a completely unjustified $8B. He Chuckie we can always increase it if needed the $2.8B was just a start. I'm sure Trump would accept and appreciate any rational civil input the Dems would have, but the Dems aren't offering any.

    Exactly.

    Why do some of Trump's "defenders" seem so misinformed as to this history?

    Obviously, Trump is an AMATEUR who has no idea how to handle this Public Health Emergency.

    Trump won"t be happy until the Virus is out of control and the Market has lost over 10,000 Points.

    Trump = A Clueless Amateur.

    Let me tell you. I live on the Gulf Coast and was hit by Katrina and Ivan that year. The misrepresentation of the Bush response by the MSM is reprehensible. The whole "you're doing a great job Brownie" thing. In my state and the adjoining the local officials did a great job and FEMA did a great job supporting them. They worked together with the locals being the first responders and FEMA there to say "OK what do you need and where do you need it", and they got it there. So at that meeting between the Governors of MS and AL, both Republicans BTW, and Michael Brown the FEMA director the President had just heard those two governors praise FEMA for the backup they had given and the President looks at Brown and says "Great job Brownie" and HE WAS RIGHT. It worked well. But the MSM slammed him totally out of context and never let either live it down.

    Ivan I was out 3 weeks but the locals and FEMA got me the ice and water everyday and MRE's which we all had a ball sitting around eating they really aren't that bad. I can't think more of what they could do, of course we were well prepared but if I needed anything more to survive I knew where to go to get it.

    Louisiana was a total disaster not because of FEMA or Brown but because of a total collapse of the local Democrat government. The Mayor hightailed it out and left town. Bush was restricted by the Constitution as to what the federal government could do. He was trying to work with the Mayor and the Governor to restore order but they were not cooperating. He finally in fact violated the Constitution and send in General Honore' to take federal control under a guise of "working with local authorities" to restore order and get aid into the city.

    But blame it on Bush and Brown.

    Did any of you Trump people actually read the article?

    "But according to the AP, Trump's proposed budget cuts never went into effect. Funding to fight the latest outbreak also came from a congressional fund created for health emergencies."

    You can call out Dems for being dishonest (which is hilarious, coming from Trump supporters), but also call out the guy who WANTED to cut CDC funding, but was BLOCKED by a DEM Congress.

    Look more caps used by you....more emotion and thus less logic....

    To be honest, I do not read any of the links your post as they are mostly just liberal dribble....look I made a rhyme!

    Dems are dishonest, as hell. Your obsessed with negativity and doom, that only bigger govt can save us from.

    No thanks.

    Presidents don't set spending levels Congress does. Presidents can request, suggest, urge but CONGRESS passing spending.

    Did you see me link anything in this thread? No? Then I'm talking about the OP's Fox link, which you would know, if you had read it because I directly quoted it. Jesus.

    That is what the 50++++ right wing neoconservative think tanks pay people to post ! Lies, misleading statements and propaganda. It is rampant online, facebook, twitter, youtube, and chat forums. Part of the real problem is the internet allows this... one guy could literally create 50 identities on here, 50 of them sitting on the 5th floor of a think tank in Washington. that is how many fake people ?
    With Billions pilling in from the rich who never get enough, it is no doubt they will spend close too 2 TRILLION this election to HOLD ON for 4 more year.

    Sending millions into the poor house, hospitals without healthcare, and billions more in debt as they continue to jack prices on everything. Most item up 30% this year and 100% over the past 6. Just prepare, and even that is difficult because they control it all. Even SILVER by JP MORGAN, stick to GOLD bullion.

    If that meteor that some democrats would want to see rather than Trump's reelection were to god forbid collide with earth, Trump would be blamed for that too.
