Geez, always quick to defend your idol with a half-truth. He asked for cuts to the CDC and other agencies every year of his tenure, he just never got them as he would have liked.

Okay fine...from the same text you linked: "Trump’s budgets have proposed cuts to public health, only to be overruled by Congress". So both parties knew how stupid Trump was and had to overrule him again. Wish they did that more often since Trump is filled with stupidity.

I've just come back from the shops and there's definitely been a rush on milk, lots of people out and about, if this virus takes off in the SE england they'll be mayhem as it's densely populated.

hopefully a vaccine or medicine is going to be effective, but I wonder if this virus was created in that bio lab in wuhan, it seems pretty vicious, I can't quite understand how the wet market could set this thing off as they've been around for years without this happening, what changed...

No vaccine for anti-vaxxers right?

Since this thread is about North Korea, here is a picture of dear leader watching the coronavirus marching into the country:

No wish to derail the thread but WATFORD?

 

[sufferinsilence]

The US and Taliban have signed a historic agreement, which would set into motion the drawdown of US troops from Afghanistan and potentially pave the way to ending America's longest-fought war.

Is that guff still on?

I gave up on something like episode 3 when she was stoating around Iran or something on her mobile, head twitching like she’d injected caffeine into her eye balls, trying to blend in.

Yeah this is the final season. Season 1 was probably the best with Damian Lewis.

Most republican presidents want to cut spending, that's what they do. No surprise there.

All the presidents submit a budget with cuts and increases.

This would be funny and maybe evenlaudable if it wouldn't be that serious as it is costing human lives on both sides and that daily.

However, it is quite laughable that Mr T yet again blinds the world and his sycophant supporters by celebrating the reduction of troops from 13,600 to 8,500. Why? Because the 8,500 was pretty much the number of US troops in Afghanistan when he took over on 20th Jan 2017 with a plan to reduce them to 5,500 in that year.

Plus, in every year of Mr T's tenure more bombs have been dropped onto Afghanistan than the previous one with constantly increasing civil casualties.

The agreement is North-Korea 2.0. No substance, no nothing really if you read it. The only difference is that it is longer than 1 page. Plus, he signed it with the Taliban, not the legally elected Afghan government and without input whatsoever from the latter.

Smoke and mirrors plus a pack of lies from Mr T as usual, nothing new, nothing that surprises anyone.

 

[mack341]

Just for his sales pitch in the election campaign then...

I remember listening to general Jack Keane on fox, he wants the troops to stay out there forever, to maintain a presence in perpetuity. I bet he speaks for a lot of the pentagon people too, and just regurgitated the stuff about 'fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here'

And yet when challenged by old lou dobbs on the futility he got all flustered and peevish.

If Trump was serious about a full withdrawal he would face immense opposition from within his own party and the military complex.

yeah where's Kelly Jo gone? ...you frightened her off with your combination of long distance marriage proposals and keanu gifs

He is also the worlds strongest bear.
But only when he eats the "dunderhoung" superhoney that his grandma makes.
Only he can eat it without getting a stomachache.

Its basically Popeye, but with a bear. =)

I had already googled and watched a bit.

Polls are literally worthless, not to mention this doesn't alter anything. Those that support him will have their faith emboldened, and those that hate him will just hate him more.

If it's smearing they're after, well, we've already had the failed impeachment, and he's set to win 2020? So I think 'everyday' people are bored to death of the anti-Trump rhetoric. If anything it puts him in a 'sympathetic' light and might endear swing voters. Tragic!

 

[mack341]

Chris Wallace on fox hates Trump, he's more a rino hillary kind of guy.

I think they said on the news that joe biden won the carolina primary, so that makes things interesting again, bloomberg needs biden out of the way otherwise it splits the moderate vote.

It could still be biden vs trump.

 

[slotplayer]

Ah, its the beauty of Fox News, fair and balanced and not afraid to show the good with the bad and why its the most watched, unlike CNN and MSNBC and the Guardian.

Fox News for President!

Could you point out some evidence that Wallace hates Trump? Guess everyone who deals with facts hate Trump If you don't want to lie for Trump or be totally corrupt...then you gotta hate Trump right?

But yeah Buttigieg and Klobuchar need to get out of the race. They don't have a chance anymore unfortunately. At least there's Warren who takes some votes away from Bernie.
I hope Biden does well! After Biden there can be someone more progressive hopefully.

If anything it puts him in a 'sympathetic' light and might endear swing voters. Tragic!

I'm pretty sure no one feels pity for Trump Sympathy+Trump is not a thing in any shape or form. Those swing voters care mostly about the money. Corona is kicking Trump's ass now.

You don't want bernie to win?! surprised by that, that's not very progressive of you Vorc, this'll be bernie's last chance you realise...

I could find evidence re wallace's animus towards trump, but I think it is generally accepted. I spotted it in the 2016 tv debates, wallace was trying to undermine trump at every opportunity.

Trump seems to be getting more confident and relaxed now, he's weathered the worst they can throw at him and still kept his base intact.

I stated it puts him in a sympathetic light, not that I or others pity him lol

4-5 years of incessant hate-campaigning is tiresome and makes the rabies-infected hystrionic wailing all the more laughable after all that time. It's like they still can't get over that he won

I'd really, really love to know how Trump's the Antichrist when the likes of Dubya had a stroll in the park in comparison, and was painted to be a gaffe-prone idiot. Nowhere near the same hysteria.

The daily barrage of insults and skits have served absolutely no purpose other than to hinder the country's progress, no?

I wouldn't mind if Bernie wins. But there's a bigger chance that Trump gets re-elected or Moscow Mitch stays in power if Bernie is the nominee.

I really don't think it's generally accepted that Wallace hates Trump. It just does seem that way once people get to ask about facts. I don't know what kind of questions you expect from reporters...maybe something like: "Oh the economy is so great mr. Trump! How did you do it?" and then ignore everything else. It's ridiculous.

Most people know that Trump is corrupt and criminal as that FoxNews poll showed. Plus racism and general stupidity about any kind of issue...the affect of tariffs or nuking the hurricane or altering the weather maps or constant tweeting about whatever crazy thing that comes to his mind. I'd feel embarrassed if my country had that kind of idiot in charge. And since people know that Trump won't change no matter what...maybe they'll vote against him to stop this drama.
Bush was a bad president but he's not a criminal. He's a decent man at least unlike Trump.

How are those things hindering country's progress? Trump could ignore all of that and do his job. But that little baby can't handle it. The most fragile ego ever.
Besides Trump is the one doing the insults. At least left-wing has the comedy. Be best!

I agree Trump shouldn't tweet, I've been saying this for years. Not that he ever listens

Bush not a criminal? No, just a war criminal

And whilst some of the left-wing comedy as you put was amusing at first, 4 years of the same material and routines is.....lame lol

I don't use right-wing or left-wing as a search criteria for comedy, unbelievably enough. Though I can't envisage too many right-wing comedy acts being that hilarious, personally!

What the anti-Trump brigade has provided over the years is comedic gold however:

That's crazy-talk. American Politics only has 'Good' and 'Bad'

I vote on Tuesday. I'm thinking of sending Bernie some love, I'm getting Trump fatigue.

 

[mack341]

I watched Fareed on CNN this morning.

I believe CNN don't like bernie, almost despise him as much as trump, tucker was going over this a week back, saying the more CNN attack bernie the better he does in the polls.

similar to brexit the more media try to spin and brainwash, the more people distrust them and vote the other way.

If bernie could get the swedish standard of living and low crime [well it use to be low] imported to the US, I think everyone would be happy. Yes the taxes are higher in the scandi countries but they don't tend to waste money as much. But he's never going to be able to do it, he'll just turn the whole country into baltimore or newark.

It would probably be easier to point to canada rather than sweden as an example of a country nearby with less wealth division, and a more caring outlook, that possibly could be copied in some areas. I haven't looked but it wouldn't surprise me if the liberal agenda wasn't destroying canada too though, with drugs gangs and crime going up.

I would quite like the trump govt to be questioned more, but not by wallace trying to score points and undermine the core things trump ran on.

Well trump hasn't managed to stop the press attacking him, so it looks to me like their freedom is the same as it was before 2016; what donald has done is fight back and brand them fake news and they don't like it because the public don't trust the media talking heads as they did before. It's amazing that all these high profile figures can't really lay a glove on trump, and yet he doesn't even do 'detail' and they're probably harvard educated

Nothing wrong with change ultimately, Trump's had his fun run, so if change is imminent then that's showbiz!

Though for the life of me I can't fathom where the emerging politicians are in American Politics. Biden, Sanders & Trump have a combined age of 228 ffs

Sure the public has stopped trusting the media...but now they trust the dumbest one...isn't that quite sad? Is that how you want it really? To listen to the one who knows the least.
It's like you want the most corrupt...the most idiotic one to do whatever he wants. I guess you prefer dictatorships over democracies.
