U.S. And International Politics

[Michael Capasse]

Says the JFK CTer.  HA HA HA HA.  Even "funnier."  No huge conspiracy would be required.  Fauci funds research in China.  It results in a COVID outbreak.  That coincides with the upcoming election.  Fauci cover his backside.  The Dems conjure up a lot of nonsense like closing down the entire country to blame Trump.  They win the election.

"Donald Trump’s social media posts during the COVID-19 pandemic routinely drew severe criticism from public health officials and tech platforms for spreading medical misinformation, downplaying the virus, and stoking xenophobic rhetoric. The backlash became so acute that it fundamentally altered moderation policies, forcing platforms like Twitter and Facebook to aggressively fact-check, label, or completely remove a sitting president's posts for the first time due to concerns over real-world physical harm."

Meanwhile - red states opened too early:

Dr. Anthony Fauci warned in May 2020 that lifting COVID-19 lockdowns before seeing a sustained two-week decline in infections would cause "needless suffering and death". As numerous states reopened and relaxed restrictions, many subsequently experienced surges in viral transmission and rising fatalities during the summer months

Fauci's Reopening Criteria Advised a phased approach based on federal guidelines. Demanded a continuous 14-day downward path in new documented cases or positive tests before easing rules. Required local public health systems to possess robust testing, contact tracing, and isolation capabilities

Outcome of Early Reopenings Several states lifted restrictions or advanced phases without meeting the 14-day decline benchmark. Infection rates climbed sharply in multiple regions (such as the Sunbelt states) during June and July 2020.

Fauci had no control over the states opening too early while a dopey POTUS caused fatalities spreading misinformation and lies across all social media platforms

From The Romano Report at Substack:

Steve Schmidt, who ran John McCain's 2008 campaign for president, was interviewed on MSNOW. In response to a very general question regarding the Trump presidency, Mr. Schmidt spoke for two minutes and gave the most insightful and brutally honest response of what the Trump presidency has done to our great country:

"Donald Trump has been the worst president this country has ever had. And, I don't say that hyperbolically. He is. But he is a consequential president. And, he has brought this country in three short years to a place of weakness that is simply unimaginable if you were pondering where we are today from the day where Barack Obama left office. And there were a lot of us on that day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a Trump presidency would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of weakness.”

"When you listen to the President, these are the musings of an imbecile. An idiot. And I don't use those words to name call. I use them because they are the precise words of the English language to describe his behavior. His comportment. His actions. We've never seen a level of incompetence, a level of ineptitude so staggering on a daily basis by anybody in the history of the country whose ever been charged with substantial responsibilities.”

"It's just astonishing that this man is president of the United States. The man, the con man, from New York City. Many bankruptcies, failed businesses, a reality show that branded him as something that he never was -- a successful businessman. Well, he's the President of the United States, now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he's brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale. And let's be clear. This isn't happening in every country around the world. This place. Our place. Our home. Our country. The United States. We are the epicenter. We are the place where you're the most likely to die from this disease. We're the ones with the most shattered economy. And we are, because of the fool that sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk."

You lost me at John McCain's 2008 campaign and MS No viewers.   Trump has closed Biden's open border.  Something Biden (or whoever was really in charge) said the president couldn't do.  Violent crime is at record lows.  The stock market is at record highs.  Our biased TDS media try to make it appear to be the end of times because gas is not dirt cheap.   Cheaper than under Biden but not down to $3 per gallon.   LOL.   The media is a force multiplier for a very small, angry, and vocal group of loons.

You lost me at John McCain's 2008 campaign and [MS NOW]. 

You lose, all too often and all too easily, Smith.

[Richard Smith]

You lose, all too often and all too easily, Smith.

It was John McCain who lost.  Badly. His campaign was a complete disaster.  Anyone involved with that campaign should take up a career other than politics.   Trump won twice with the media and political establishment of both parties doing everything possible to defeat him.  No other person in our lifetime has been able to break the stranglehold that this group has on power.  It's likely no one will do so again.  It's an absolute miracle that Trump won with all those forces against him.  Sparing us a Hillary and Kamala administration.  Disasters that would have brought the country to ruin.

When you've got Putin's hackers and professional trolls working for you, it doesn't matter what the Washington Post and MSNBC say about you.

Again with the Russian conspiracy nonsense?  You think Russian hackers and trolls changed the outcome of the 2016 and 2024 elections and have more influence than our own biased media?  Far out.  As the Dems say when anyone alleges voter fraud, "there is no evidence" that a single vote in those elections was influenced by Russia.  It is a baseless conspiracy theory grafted onto the facts to promote a desired narrative.
