So assuming this is true, are you suggesting that Nancy Pelosi impeach him for this?

Most of them in the New York Metropolitan area--a place governed exclusively by Democrats, like that dumb bitch Dr. Oxiris Barbot.

While you know full well the Dems are certain to saturate TV time with ads pointing out Trump's failures, the nail in the coffin is that people that voted for Trump will feel disappointed or betrayed. And with good reason..

I voted for Trump and I do not feel disappointed or betrayed. I am taking advantage of the panic to make good long-term stock buys. I still have about half my portfolio in cash, as I expect another panic sell off to crush the weak and levered longs.

If you were an intellectual, back in the 90s, this was everywhere. We didn't do much. I've been expecting this.

So doctors failed. Remember, Bill Clinton was president back in the 1990s. So you might want to tighten up your lame rhetoric.

I think I had something like that in December. Mild fever, no sore throat, a dry unproductive cough that won't quit for weeks... Sucked. Ruined my holidays.

You seem like a sanguine anti-Trumper.

Credit where credit is due, the Docs did a superb job. But Republicans were having none of it.

That era was characterised by the opposite of reform.

We did do some changes, but the real challenges, like surge capacity, went untouched.

Point is, Trump is acting like this is some brand new thing that nobody knew about. In reality, Clinton, Bush2 and Obama all knew about it, and worked to improve pandemic readiness, even if the results were limited.
