You should never ever admire another country before you laud the president for what a genius he is...actually, I take that back you should never ever admire another country because our country is the best, always, even when we scream at people who don't 100% agree with us, even when our response to a pandemic coming down the pipeline is to totally ignore it, even when we bully and make fun of women, even when we molest women, even when we take retaliatory measures against someone who might investigate our corruption...and the list goes on...

Hail to the MOST corrupt and incompetent administration ever!

Yeah, this is what Trump had to say about it while the oval office was getting updates of how serious the threat was...and some senators (R) were busily selling their stocks because they actually LISTENED to the reports...and Trump was listening to …. wait for it....CHINA:

“And, honestly, I think, as tough as this negotiation was, I think our relationship with China now might be the best it's been in a long, long time. And now it's reciprocal. Before, we were being ripped off badly. Now we have a reciprocal relationship, maybe even better than reciprocal for us.”

Jan. 30, Fox News interview:

"China is not in great shape right now, unfortunately. But they're working very hard. We'll see what happens. But we're working very closely with China and other countries."

We are working closely with China to help!

Feb. 7, Remarks before Marine One departure:

"Late last night, I had a very good talk with President Xi, and we talked about — mostly about the coronavirus. They're working really hard, and I think they are doing a very professional job. They're in touch with World — the World — World Organization. CDC also. We're working together. But World Health is working with them. CDC is working with them. I had a great conversation last night with President Xi. It's a tough situation. I think they're doing a very good job.”

Feb. 10, Fox Business interview:

"I think China is very, you know, professionally run in the sense that they have everything under control," Trump said. "I really believe they are going to have it under control fairly soon.

Yes, I think he’s doing it very professionally.”

Feb. 27, Coronavirus Task Force press conference:

“I spoke with President Xi. We had a great talk. He’s working very hard, I have to say. He’s working very, very hard. And if you can count on the reports coming out of China, that spread has gone down quite a bit. The infection seems to have gone down over the last two days. As opposed to getting larger, it’s actually gotten smaller.”

Feb. 29, Coronavirus Task Force press conference:

“China seems to be making tremendous progress. Their numbers are way down. … I think our relationship with China is very good. We just did a big trade deal.

They’ve been talking to our people, we’ve been talking to their people, having to do with the virus.”

Bad kids, after being beaten at home, always become goods kids after you beat them at school?

And bad kids, after an encounter with a paedophilic priest, become good kids?

Ew

Just Ew

But at least we finally have a spell checker!!!

And some people actually use it!.

I was wondering what Muslim green was...

When we have a POS that encourages violence against Latinos, immigrants, Muslim-American, African-Americans, and now Asians, and other minority and marginalized groups, it incites the white supremacists and other hate groups to attack them physically. When he, and you, call it the "Chinese flu", those people who have Asian faces, whether Americans or not, are at risk. Simple fact.

As far as being "PC BS" I always thought those people who cry "PC" were really trying to justify being homophobic, xenophobic, racist, misogynistic, bigoted, fanatical, hateful, chauvinistic, and contemptuous.

Please do not call it "Chinese Flu". This term puts those with Asian faces in harms way.

First, I'm not sure what an increase or decline in US population has to do with overpopulation. According to Mirriam-Webster: Overpopulation. : the condition of having a population so dense as to cause environmental deterioration, an impaired quality of life, or a population crash.

Second: Definition of Climate/environmental degradation: the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources such as air, water and soil; the destruction of ecosystems; habitat destruction; the extinction of wildlife; and pollution. ... When natural habitats are destroyed or natural resources are depleted, the environment is degraded.

Let me know if you need further clarification.

This is excellent! I like the black and white best.

It's called more money to War, less money to education...

I like almost every kind of music …..except country....boy loses girl...boy loses dog...boy loses truck. He's sad. That is pretty much it.

I have much of the same problem with hearing...but my hearing is so bad I use closed caption. Wanted to watch a movie on Netflix...but it didn't have captions...so I watched something else....very aggravating! The worst, for me, is the radio with announcements and they have background music on so loud, I can't hear the announcements! I called the radio station and they turned it off...for about a day...and they turned in on again. Sigh.

I agree.
