    What's True
    The U.S. federal stockpile of N95 protective face masks was largely depleted during the 2009 swine flu outbreak and was not restocked.

    What's False
    However, the Obama administration was not solely responsible for the current shortage of masks. In the intervening years, the stockpile went unreplenished as the Trump administration failed to heed indications that dramatic shortages could occur.

    An uneducated Republican who actively seeks to not learn anything. There is no need in their mind because education challenges their political views and the coal mine in town pays good without student loans anyway. So they just stop going to school at 15 and only listen to Fox news because everyone else is too liberal (educated) and it upsets them

    I use the coal miner as an example of how Republicans want to live. They live in a world where only their "daddy" and the the Bible are worth listening to. All government and knowledge outside that is a lie.

    This is what Republicans say themselves too. Basically all the things they embrace as making them American as the things that make them look like dionsaures to others.
     
  3. Yea, like the ACA? Seriously, Obama had a smooth ride compared to Bush or Trump. We're talking about enough money to be buried into any appropriations bill with hardly a notice. OR, it could be funneled to cronies, Iran etc.

    To post 341: I bet you know that the flaming right wingers will NOT acknowledge that fact or any other facts you, okiefreak, egger and others provide. Only republican talking points, personal opinions, straw man arguments and "THEY:. Always "they." The divisions MUST remain.
     
  6. This is just a fantasy YOU created in your head. It's also quite bigoted. This fetish for judging whole populations by the deeds of a few is very limiting.

    Well what's your source? It's easy to attack a source without offering any viable alternative to that source.
    You have a source that confirms that Trump attempted to restock the supply?

  8. So, another kind of bubble post.

    Also, wouldn't you refer to anyone who isn't a democrat as "Flaming" right winger? That's how bigotry works after all.

    Yes bigotry. I'm truly bigoted against most right wing thought. No doubt.

    How am I bigot by following their own rules?
    Why do they bitch so about college if there are so many educated people in the ranks?
    It's a party for stupid people. Most people who did not go to college vote that way. Most people who like "small government" vote this way. It's not biases it's just the facts.

  14. You have just totally taken the party bait. I'm positive you have no idea what I mean by this. I prefer political flexibility, on the odd chance a party might do something that sucks for Americans. Near as I can tell both have. So why swear allegiance to either?
     
  15. No, and that was never my point. When I voted for Obama I never expected him to know every detail of what was going on in the government, it's impossible. Which is why they have a cabinet and hopefully some capable appointees.

    What you're presenting is a defense of Obama for using the resource and not replacing it. I am confused by that. I am additionally confused at why you'd lay it at Trump's feet for the same reasoning I applied to Obama. How exactly can Trump be expected to know every detail of what's going on in government? How can you for that matter?

    Obviously both leaders fucked up. I don't get what the disagreement is.

    But he claims he does and sows a barrage of meaningless and irrelevant factoids to cover up his incompetence. This nation is crying out for a competent adult in the
    White House. This country has a dedicated cadre of Civil Servants who really do take their oath of office seriously but the President has failed them and the nation as a whole.

    snopes, far left says it is half true. Lol. That means in reality it is completely true.

    snopes is not a good source though, not to be trusted.

    So, as usual, instead of a reply, we get a meme. We know, you prefer InfoWars and Russia today.
