@BobCoffey1 Hi Bob. After your call for news channels to be stripped, the Democratic Party, representing 50% of the US population, to be fined out of existence, after blaming them for the virus as well as for the contingency measures, you called me a fascist ? Your path to reason is very slippery and you fall over all the time! Thanks, this morning you made me smile.

@BobCoffey1 I guess it takes one who saw it to know what Communism is...others only see what leads to said animal.

Although this may seem a little overstated, I agree we need to be wary of the insidious erosion of our rights and constant overreach by the nanny state our government has been seeking for decades. Our country and its government was founded on uniquely wise and godly principles of freedom and self determination with little interference from the government. This was a hard-won form of government and way of life for which the blood of our heroic ancestors was spilt in order that we might be free from the tyranny of a self-serving political class with a godless agenda.

As Ben Franklin said "A Republic, IF you can keep it!"

"Trump Declared the Coronavirus a Hoax" This desperate lie, launched by the far-left Politico, was quickly debunked by fact-checkers, including  the far-left Washington Post. That’s how big of a lie it is — the Washington Post conceded it was a lie.
Nevertheless, CNN continues to spread this lie.

@TimTuolomne Are you talking to me or Bob? Bob is calling the Democrats' response to the virus a hoax in much the same way that Trump did.

"Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. You know that, right? Coronavirus. They’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, ‘How’s President Trump doing?’ They go, ‘Oh, not good, not good.’ They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa, they can’t even count. No they can’t. They can’t count their votes.

One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia. That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything, they tried it over and over, they’ve been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning, they lost, it’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax. But you know, we did something that’s been pretty amazing. We’re 15 people [cases of coronavirus infection] in this massive country. And because of the fact that we went early, we went early, we could have had a lot more than that."

@BobCoffey1 Why do you care so much about their economies and how they respond to the virus, then?

@WilyRickWiles My response followed your comment directly. I said Trump did not say it was a hoax, and cite evidence. Even after that, you repeatedly refer to Trump saying it was a hoax. Otherwise, I can't follow your post. It makes no sense to me

@TimTuolomne That part between the quotation marks that doesn't make sense is Trump's words, lol.

@TimTuolomne Regardless, when I used the word hoax, it was because the original poster did. And I meant it in the same context--not the one you assumed was ascribed to Trump, but the actual context in which Trump used the word.

@WilyRickWiles, It doesn't appear that you are reading my responses. And I never engage in a discussion in which I am not learning something. I am not learning anything.

@TimTuolomne Your reply was a non sequitur.

@BobCoffey1 You don't know what that word means.

Too many evildoers use incompetence as an alibi. It is an easy excuse. Since when is lack of intention an alibi? Common people are charged for leaving dogs or children in hot cars for too long. Clearly they did not intend to kill their pets or their children in plain sight of the public, but the elite are exonerated of high crimes for lack of intent and feigned incompetence.
