		<description>&lt;I&gt;But I don&#039;t think he actually meant hoax. I think he meant &#039;something that those horrible underhanded Democrats are lying about, or maybe causing, who cares&#039;.&lt;/i&gt;

OK...so Trump did not really mean it was a hoax...he just meant that it was a hoax!  That makes sense!</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;He called it a hoax!&lt;/i&gt;

But I don&#039;t think he actually meant hoax.  I think he meant &#039;something that those horrible underhanded Democrats are lying about, or maybe causing, who cares&#039;.  Sentences are often thought of as expressing propositions, i.e. logical entities that can be true or false.  But that&#039;s not usually what they do.  Usually, they express emotions or propose actions.  Trump is adept at using them that way.</description>

		<description>Trump called the coronavirus “the Democrats’ new hoax”.  He called it a hoax!    You are still wrong!   

Boo how hoo... we own you!   

But... Obama did something unrelated to whatever Trump is doing and we didn’t blame Obama for doing what Trump is currently doing!!!   Boo hoo hoo...you’re a racist too!   

&lt;I&gt;Actually, I never did.. I have always said I was in PUBLIC SAFETY (LEO, Security, Military, FSO) for 25 years..&lt;/i&gt;

You having to register as a sex offender does not mean you are “in” PUBLIC SAFETY!  

Security?   Being arrested for breaking into a residence does not mean you are “in home security”!  You weren’t in PUBLIC SAFETY for 25 years!   You are an honor whore: wanting people to believe you have served when you have not!</description>

I reiterate: Context. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;And this is their new hoax. But you know, we did something that’s been pretty amazing. We’re 15 people 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. 
~ Donald Trump, February 28, 2020&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If you refused to take the words of Democrats out of context and insisted that everyone&#039;s words be taken in context all the time rather than when it suits your political agenda, you&#039;d have an argument, but you most certainly don&#039;t... so you most certainly don&#039;t. :)

&lt;b&gt;So to recap&lt;/b&gt;: Context.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;That wasn&#039;t fiction. Donald Trump did refer to the coronavirus as &quot;their new hoax&quot; at a rally in South Carolina on February 28... the day before Joementum commenced.&lt;/I&gt;

Not factually accurate..

As JL pointed out..

&lt;B&gt;Did President Trump Refer to the Coronavirus as a ‘Hoax’?

Trump&#039;s commentary on the new coronavirus came before the virus began killing patients in the U.S.

Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-coronavirus-rally-remark/

Once again.. FACTs prove you wrong..

&lt;I&gt;And you&#039;re incessantly whining that he did post fiction... so pick a lane.&lt;/I&gt;

Russ DID post fiction.. And you claimed that you only &#039;peep&#039; when people post fiction.

Russ post fiction.. You didn&#039;t peep.

So your claim is not factual..

&lt;I&gt;There&#039;s no such thing as the &quot;proper political persuasion&quot; to me,&lt;/I&gt;

Despite ***ALL*** the plethora of facts that prove THAT statement ALSO not factual..  :D

With the utmost due respect..  :D</description>

You&#039;re talking about an issue of words in context. People aren&#039;t generally going to rush to defend issues of context when the GOP and their minions -- meaning you -- are constantly pounding away at words taken out of context. You&#039;re yet again asking for people to post to suit your wishes and insisting on that which you&#039;re not willing to proffer. #SSDD 

&lt;i&gt;So, I will (with the utmost due respect) point out that your claim that people who don&#039;t post fiction don&#039;t hear a peep from you is a false statement.. &lt;/i&gt;

		<description>Bear,

&lt;B&gt;President Trump secures no-cost virus testing for Americans

The Trump Administration is leading an “all-of-America” approach, as Vice President Mike Pence calls it, to protect Americans during the global Coronavirus outbreak.
 
“Last week, at this table, the President met with pharmaceutical leaders, we met with nursing home leaders, leaders of commercial labs, airline industries,” Vice President Pence said. “We’re bringing all of the businesses of the country to bear to protect the health of the American people.”
 
Earlier today, President Trump and the Vice President met with executives from America’s largest health insurance companies, where they announced a major deal.&lt;/B&gt;

Except the FACTS prove otherwise..

&lt;I&gt;At every opportunity we must point out how incompetent he is and incapable of doing the job of being president.&lt;/I&gt;

You sound **EXACTLY** like a Republican when they were talking about Obama..

Funny how that is, eh??  :D</description>

  &quot;Instead, it would be better to talk about how the WH    response is improving and encourage more of it.&quot;

EM do you not realize the this president is INCAPABLE of responding in a desirable and meaningful way.  It is counter productive to speak and act as if he were capable.  It serves to &quot;normalize&quot; his behavior.  When attacked by a tiger you do not try to reason and argue with it, you must get rid of the tiger before you are eaten.  At every opportunity we must point out how incompetent he is and incapable of doing the job of being president.</description>

He&#039;s activated the state military to enforce martial law in a &quot;containment&quot; area....

Typical Democrat... Any excuse to trample on American civil rights..

And you Democrats get hysterical when President Trump limits travel into the US from foreigners..

&lt;i&gt;It&#039;s funny how she always wants to nitpick when I post something.. &lt;/i&gt;

&quot;All&quot; and &quot;always&quot; are dead ringers that the comments you are posting are pure unadulterated fiction. Those who don&#039;t post fiction won&#039;t hear a peep out of me. If you find your posts are getting nitpicked, you just might be the biggest source of fiction on the forum. 

&lt;i&gt;But let&#039;s all the Trump/America haters get away with saying the most bullshit things and she doesn&#039;t say a word.. &lt;/i&gt;

Grammar... not your strong suit either. Also, you whine a lot about what people are not posting to suit you while you incorrectly refer to those who don&#039;t buy into your fantasy as &quot;America haters.&quot; Trump isn&#039;t America and never will be.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Interesting factoid...

All the American flags at Walt Disney World have 12 stripes and 49 stars.. ~ Mike &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Interesting fact: The article you posted debunks your own incorrect statement by explaining the boats have 48 stars and also partially confirms what I posted about the official American flag taken down every night. As far as the flags on Main Street, USA, I can assure you the flags have 45 stars like the flags in Marceline, Missouri in 1906.   

https://bigbrian-nc.livejournal.com/12357.html

&lt;i&gt;But, as I said.. At least she is polite about it.. &lt;/i&gt;

<p>"All" and "always" are dead ringers that the comments you are posting are pure unadulterated fiction. Those who don't post fiction won't hear a peep out of me. If you find your posts are getting nitpicked, you just might be the biggest source of fiction on the forum. </p>
<p><i>But let's all the Trump/America haters get away with saying the most bullshit things and she doesn't say a word.. </i></p>
<p>Grammar... not your strong suit either. Also, you whine a lot about what people are not posting to suit you while you incorrectly refer to those who don't buy into your fantasy as "America haters." Trump isn't America and never will be.</p>
<blockquote><p>Interesting factoid...</p>
<p>All the American flags at Walt Disney World have 12 stripes and 49 stars.. ~ Mike </p></blockquote>
<p>Interesting fact: The article you posted debunks your own incorrect statement by explaining the boats have 48 stars and also partially confirms what I posted about the official American flag taken down every night. As far as the flags on Main Street, USA, I can assure you the flags have 45 stars like the flags in Marceline, Missouri in 1906.   </p>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Angry Joe Biden Tells Detroit Worker &#039;You&#039;re Full Of Shit&#039;

(WWJ) Detroit workers will tell you that auto factory floors are tough, but Joe Biden wasn&#039;t backing down when a worker came at him on a factory tour Tuesday morning.

Courting votes in Michigan&#039;s very important primary -- which some believe could be the final stand-off between Biden and Democratic rival Bernie Sanders -- Biden wasn&#039;t exactly jolly. 

&quot;You&#039;re gonna take away our guns,&quot; the worker tells Biden as he walks by in close quarters, surrounded by workers and the media.

Biden misses no beat before responding, &quot;You&#039;re full of sh**.&quot;

&quot;Shush-shush!&quot; Biden says to a woman who tries to interject &quot;I support the Second Amendment.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
https://wwjnewsradio.radio.com/articles/angry-joe-biden-tells-detroit-worker-youre-full-of-sh

Looks like Joe has fully converted to 2020 Democrat&#039;ism..

He is attacking the very voters he NEEDS to win.. :D

Good call, Joe!!  :^/</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;You can&#039;t even answer a simple question as to why you weren&#039;t concerned when over 12,000 Americans died due to Odumbo&#039;s incompetence with his Swine Flu pandemic..&lt;/i&gt;

No, I answered you, but you were obviously too busy pleasuring yourself to photos of Trump to realize it.   First, your statement is utter bullshit!   You have provided nothing but your bigoted racist accusation, but no evidence to support your claim that Obama’s incompetence caused the deaths of 12,000 Americans.    Obama’s Administration was not silencing their health experts from warning the public in simple terms that were clear to understand.   Obama didn’t try to shift the focus off of the Swine Flu by bringing up how Republicans handled an epidemic years earlier — something that helps no one but the thin skinned bitches who cry when they think people will see their leader for the massive incompetent idiot that he truly is!   Too late!   

We have no idea just how bad this illness truly is in our country!   Look at how organized South Korea has been for months, taking a proactive stance on battling this illness.   10,000 people are tested every day in South Korea.   They took WHO’s advice to start creating test kits when it suggested it months ago.   Our government did not!   Our government has not issued the warning to start setting up quarantines in ER’s to keep staff from having to self-quarantine because they have been exposed without the proper safety protocols being followed!    

How about you explain why Trump lied to the public when he said anyone who wants/needs to be tested for the Covid-19 virus can receive one when that is not true!?   

Why won’t Trump simply warn the elderly not to fly right now, but instead warns them about being in “crowded areas with poor ventilation”???!!!   But by all means, you enjoy your cruise!</description>

Other than God, who I&#039;ve been given to understand, did – or, possibly, still does – select certain individuals to carry out God’s plan, I’m not familiar with any successful movement/uprising/revolution/grassroots change that caught fire when someone hand-picked an individual (or two) to be his/her/its/their mouthpiece(s) and then worked and worked on the chosen one(s) to bend them to his/her/its/their will. Do you have any models I might look at for enlightenment? TIA.</description>

&lt;B&gt;When you walk into the Magic Kingdom, you&#039;re transported back in time to an idyllic small town that&#039;s dotted with American flags on top of many of its buildings. But if you look closely at those small flags, you&#039;ll notice that something is off about them: not a single one has 50 stars! There are a couple of reasons why each flag is missing stars — first, each of the poles that holds the flags are lightning rods, so if lightning strikes, an official American flag won&#039;t be harmed, and second, since they&#039;re not technically American flags, they don&#039;t need to follow traditional flag etiquette. They don&#039;t have to be lowered to half-staff when an occasion calls for it and they don&#039;t need to be taken down or lit up at night. Flags with 48 stars can also be found on Disney&#039;s boats for the same reasons. An official American flag can still be found at the Magic Kingdom, in Town Square, and this one is taken down at night.&lt;/B&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Interesting factoid...

All the American flags at Walt Disney World have 12 stripes and 49 stars.. &lt;/i&gt;

The word &quot;all&quot; almost never applies to anything, and that being the case, you are again &lt;b&gt;incorrect&lt;/b&gt;. 

An official American flag is flown in Town Square on Main Street, USA at the Magic Kingdom and is retired for the evening in a ceremony where a veteran special guest is handed the flag to thank them for their service. 

https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/entertainment/magic-kingdom/flag-retreat/

The smaller flags on the tops of the buildings on Main Street, USA have 45 stars -- 3 rows of 8 stars alternating with 3 rows of 7 stars -- to replicate the flags flying on Main Street in Marceline, Missouri, where Walt Disney grew up when his family moved there in 1906... when there were exactly 45 stars on the American flag. 

You&#039;re welcome. :)</description>

		<description>Interesting factoid...

All the American flags at Walt Disney World have 12 stripes and 49 stars..

This allows Disney to bypass official US Flag Laws and keep the flags flying 24/7 as the flags flying are not official US flags....</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;On one bad hand, screaming headlines and reporting worst-case scenarios as though they are likely can create panic that wasn&#039;t previously there.*&lt;/I&gt;

Exactly..

&lt;I&gt;On the other bad hand, false reassurances and suppressing news means people continue with risky behaviours.&lt;/I&gt;

Except the FACTS clearly show that the reassurances are NOT false...

Did you speak out against Obama when over 12,000 Americans died because of Obama incompetence with his Swine Flu pandemic??

Of course you didn&#039;t...

So, why are you so up in arms about a hand-ful of Americans who have died???

Answer:  Your political partisan agenda..

That is *ALL* that is in play here...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Three reasons Joe Biden will never be president

So the first reason Biden will not become president is that no one who served 36 years in the Senate has ever become president. 

OK, put aside the Senate, Biden&#039;s supporters would say. What about his eight years as vice president? Certainly that could be the basis for a successful presidential run. But the second reason Biden will not become president is that the record of vice presidents on that score is not encouraging.

Finally, the third reason Biden will not be president is the 14 Year Rule. The idea of former George W. Bush speechwriter John McConnell, and popularized by writer Jonathan Rauch, it basically says that politicians have a strict sell-by date. &quot;No one gets elected president who needs longer than 14 years to get from his or her first gubernatorial or Senate victory to either the presidency or the vice presidency,&quot; Rauch wrote. That has been true for a century.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/three-reasons-joe-biden-will-never-be-president

There ya have it people..

Assuming Biden is the nominee (I STILL find that hilarious by the bi.. :D) there is simply no chance that he will be POTUS..

Even if you ignore *ALL* of President Trump&#039;s pluses, the fates themselves are against Biden..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Why deny the obvious? Should we say the White House’s responses are improving when they aren’t. If the media ignores the truth and starts repeating the propaganda that Michale is hooked on, the people will completely lose faith and have no sources for information that they can trust!&lt;/I&gt;

Funny thing is, ya&#039;all have NO FACTS to support **ANY** of your claims...

You can&#039;t even answer a simple question as to why you weren&#039;t concerned when over 12,000 Americans died due to Odumbo&#039;s incompetence with his Swine Flu pandemic..

You tried with some bullshit response about Trump saying that this is all a hoax, but THAT total bullshit was totally shot down... Totally..

Face reality, Russ.. This is simply another coup attempt.. Another attempt to nullify a free, fair, legal, duly, democrat and Constitutional election..

And, as with all ya&#039;all&#039;s *OTHER* coup attempts..

It will fail..  EPIC&#039;LY fail...</description>

Oh, and if you have cause to check your temperature, especially if by mouth, don&#039;t check right after drinking a cup of coffee. Wait around 20 minutes after any food or drink, and 25-30 after hot food or drink. (I&#039;m still rolling my eyes and shaking my head at the idea that someone in their mid 70s hasn&#039;t learned this.)

		<description>Liz,

&lt;I&gt;Well, let&#039;s not say stuff like that too much, out loud, so to speak.

I mean, with so much fear and apprehension out there, already, it&#039;s probably not a good idea to keep putting out there how the WH is flailing around, eh?

Instead, it would be better to talk about how the WH response is improving and encourage more of it.

After all, we&#039;re all in this thing together ...&lt;/i&gt;

Yes.. If people actually CARED about this country and CARED about their fellow Americans, that is exactly the attitude they should have..

But all they care about is their HATE and their BIGOTRY so they will do everything they can to HURT their country and HURT their fellow Americans...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Perhaps the best thing for America right now is to have Trump spend every day out on the golf course. Maybe that would be the most reassuring thing for the public to see.&lt;/I&gt;

Seriously, maybe the best thing for everyone to see would be president Trump introducing Tony Fauci at every future briefing and then standing attentively behind him until the end of it.</description>

		<description>Chris,

&lt;I&gt;So I&#039;m anticipating some wild flailing from the White House in the next 24 hours or so, because Trump dearly wants to run his entire re-election campaign on how great the economy is doing. &lt;/I&gt;

		<description>I think what President Trump said today about instituting economic policies such as a cut in payroll taxes was a good step in the right direction. I guess more about that will come out tomorrow after he meets with Congress. He said he&#039;d have a press conference.

During these uncertain times, I think it&#039;s important for critics of the president to focus on how they can encourage a better response to this health crisis.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Could America really quarantine an entire state or major metropolitan area? China did, and it likely stopped the outbreak from spreading even further. But we don&#039;t have an authoritarian system of government, so American citizens would probably react differently if, for instance, Washington state was cut off at the borders. &lt;/i&gt;

Italy has put all 16 million of its citizens on lock down until April 3.   That’s a lotta Italians!</description>
