I don’t know anyone, right or left, who trusts anything the Chinese government has said about the virus. It’s baffling when certain politicians on the right try to use China as a wedge issue. Uh, there’s not much disagreement there! “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I don't personally know anyone that cares what the Chinese said about the virus. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

\ So typical for a hypocrite Lib. Did he think nobody would notice him? He's 8 ft tall. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Tanko Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 2470 | That was NY Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi. Ari Fleischer, former Press Secretary for GW Bush responded on Twitter. Nuzzi answered him a minute later. Ari Fleischer ✔ @AriFleischer It’s clown questions like this that can make the briefing a waste of time. The only point of that question was to provoke. Not learn anything new. Not provide information to viewers. The point was to get under Trump’s skin. Good to see potus rose above and didn’t take the bait. … Olivia Nuzzi @Olivianuzzi Oh shut the f**k up 11.6K 6:45 PM - Apr 27, 2020 |

Fair question. If 50,000 Americans had died from Ebola while Obama was president, I suspect he would have gotten some similar questions from Fox and the righties would have loved it. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I’d argue it’s Donny’s inability to answer questions truthfully, his instinct to always blame others for his failings and NEVER accept responsibility for anything that make the briefings a waste of time. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I’m more conservative than liberal, obviously. But a few ideas (staunchly pro women’ right to abort her fetus), pro removal many drug laws, are way more liberal than conservative. Anti-Trump and anti-Biden. I have to fend off both ams and EvenBob. It’s tough being an independent thinker here.... |

...because thinking for yourself is discouraged by part of this board's population, you must take one side or the other. It is easier to call a name or place a label than to actually reply and discuss an issue. |
