I never followed politics as much as I do now. You have to get media from both sides and you will see where the bullshit is. Mainstream media is biased. Spend a few hours a week watching OAN and Fox News, especially Hanitty and then decide which side is crooked.

Then the president, who often dismissed special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation as a hoax, continued, "They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. They'd been doing it since you got in. It's all turning. They lost. It's all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax. ".

"Now, the Democrats are politicising the coronavirus. This is their new hoax. ".
This isn't what he's saying now, this is what he said on February 28 so what exactly was the hoax?

I wasn't suggesting that it was likely that someone was going to go all Columbine in Chinatown (god forbid), but a gun ain't the only way to kill someone.
I agree that the Chinese government bears responsibility for making the problem worse. How the Chinese putative political system factors into their overall economic policy is more of an issue than I would want to try to tease apart here, but doesn't seem relevant to asian people in this country getting shit on.
I will ask, though: What does calling it the "Chinese Virus" benefit anyone? You can associate blame with the Chinese government simply by saying "the Chinese govt fucked up on their handling of Covid" without implicating the rest of 'them.
Again, I only care because it's my belief that how this is handled will adversely affect the health of people innocent of, well, anything. Even though this is the Woodshed, I'm keeping the flamethrower in its case.

Original poster was "needing" a review so I threw him one in a sarcastic manner since he felt the "need" to come on the board demanding info when in fact he's got shit for contribution. Maybe I read his post wrong but that's the vibe I was getting.

Weird huh.
If anyone is going to be a sensitive pussy or needs a safe space, get the fuck out.

I also did not claim that the Chinese had it "under control. " I said that they had lied about it, and pointed out that high level officials in our government had done the same.
I did have a typo in my post. I meant CPAC, not APAC.
I haven't logged into Facebook for years, and I vet my information sources against reality. I read deep and I read wide. You claiming that "people like me" are propagating misinformation is a broad and incorrect assertion.
It's well documented that racial prejudice results in significantly worse healthcare outcomes for people with otherwise equivalent health backgrounds. People of asian descent (regardless of whether or not they are ethnically or nationally Chinese) are getting some shitty treatment these days in Europe and the United States, encouraged by the use of language that denigrates them. I know this for a fact, from friends of mine that are asian (but not, actually, Chinese).
Regardless of how shitty a job the Chinese government did handling the virus, or how much they lied about it, blaming the Chinese, as a people, is laughably ignorant. I'm a proud American, and I love my country, but when I go abroad, do I blindly support every action my government has taken? Fuck no.
I'm not interested in a broad political argument on the internet, and if I were, I wouldn't pick this as a venue.
ALL I WAS ASKING was that you take into consideration that contributing to the momentum blaming asians for our predicament WILL KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE. I'm not for killing innocent people, and I hope I can safely assume you're not, either.

Posts: 96We all know him by know.
We all know him by now, he reacts to governance and responsibility the same way I do if my wife caught me cheating. Deny and lie as long as possible (his quote below).
"Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. You know that, right? Coronavirus. They're politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs, you say, "How's President Trump doing? "Oh, nothing, nothing. " They have no clue, they don't have any clue. They can't even count their votes in Iowa, they can't even count. No, they can't. They can't count their votes. One of my people came up to me and said, "Mr President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia. " That didn't work out too well. They couldn't do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything, they tried it over and over, they've been doing it since he got in. It's all turning, they lost. It's all turning, think of it, think of it. And this is their new hoax. ".
