Still whining over Obama. Geez...

Heaven forbid Trump is elected again, but I imagine all of his screw ups will be Obama’s.

Obama should have replenished the stocks.

But let’s be honest the Trump administration had no idea there was a problem three years in because Pandemic was not on their list of concerns. In March, this administration discovered they were billions, not millions, BILLIONS of N95 masks short of a pandemic disaster.
3 years in...

As far as Trump’s China travel ban, I applauded it. Well...what it should have been. He only banned travel from Chinese nationals unless they had family here. American citizens could travel back and forth. 10s of thousands of travelers went back and forth under the ban that was already two weeks late.

You know what’s two weeks late: a federal control of travel from New York City, New Orleans, Detroit, and any other hotspot. The lack of declarative action screams incompetence.

We can boast about firing a Navy Captain who is concerned over the safety of his crew. Cowardice.

Maybe the biggest disgrace is the total failure of testing. Total fiasco: when anybody wants to complain about the closure of the economy go back and revisit that crap show. A vaccine may be the only way we open all the way up, but if we would have had adequate testing we could have controlled the spread and maintained a working America, but you can’t test adequately when you deny, deny, deny.

We count on our government to protect its citizens. This crisis was a slow moving steamroller that has been heading our way since December. Trump was asleep at the wheel, or purposefully texting and ignoring the road listening to denier conservative news outlets putting tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of American lives on the line.

My writhing is over the Americans that are dying because this poser administration’s lack of action.

They’re sticking it to the libs though!!!

Obama failed to hand over an operative government across the board, and that certainly includes any materials associated with meeting the challenges of a pandemic with any degree of readiness. I'm sure in your universe something like adequate emergency supplies could never avoid one's attention, even if he was facing down every democrat in the federal government. All of whom sworn to actively participate in "the resistance."

Even if he didn't think to drive Limousine One around to every warehouse and do an inventory, I will concede to that BTW, why would he have to? Should not have any President, especially one handing over the mantle of power, with one ounce of concern for the well being of the American people seen to that matter out of due diligence?

Thus like the preceding administration in it's entirety, the existing tests were defective and therefore useless. One might as well have swabbed their throat with a litmus strip. Previous administration, total fiasco. This administration had to start from scratch because the former left everything-- that would be allowing Putin to invade Crimea and who then sent troops, military aircraft and ships (including submarines) to Venezuela; that would include allowing China to seize control of the entire South China Sea; that would include allowing Iran and N Korea to proliferate well down the path of nuclear capability, that would allow ISIS to form a Caliphate; citing questionable funding concerns, that would also include shutting down the White House for the Easter Egg roll, and shutting down national monuments; that would include tbe US military's readiness to successfully meet a major enemy BTW; that would include allowing absolutely anybody who wanted to cruise across an undefended southern border to have their way; that would include not confirming his cabinet posts, or any other post for that matter; and that would include undermining his campaign and his administration; that would include endlessly myriad investigations; and that would include leaving the darn emergency medical warehouses bare.

Obama passed the baton as deceitfully as he governed. One minute you're trying to say conservatives such as myself are a bunch of alarmists and this democracy, (I say Republic) will stand despite all. Then when the inevitable looms you try to revise, in your real time fashion, the facts involved. Everything you posted is a lie. But MR Trump has nonetheless been gracious in his characterization of the problem. All he has said is, even if we did have the tests, and we didn't, without PPE we were still had. And I would just point out that you don't know what the official inventories actually showed. But no one has ever seen anything like this. and even then this virus in all likelihood was not naturally occurring. It could have been, but things look extremely dicey with regard to that. We're shut in here, self isolating. And we've had quite a scare in our family that thankfully this time around, was proven benign. So you'll forgive me if I've been a little too direct.
