Dan Bongino: Sources Say Joe Biden Is Reaching the Point of No Return, Democrats Will Have a Decision to Make
We should believe this 100%... because after all, Dan Bongino is a journalist who has lots of scoops that turn out correct way more often than losers like Taegen Goddard, who still believes that Jenny Durkan is the Mayor of Portland.
Let's Take The Drooling, Groping Retard Seriously: What Is His Economic Plan For America, And Will It Work?
It's very easy for sentient beings to make fun of Gropin' Joe Biden, because his rapid descent into senility, coupled with his impressively unsuccessful legislative career, capped with a stint as a figure-head vice president makes him ripe for mockery.
But figurehead or not, his economic plan for America has to be taken seriously because he might be the next President of The United States of America. Yes, that is a terrifying thought, but the more we pull back the curtain on his crypto-socialism the better chance we have of ending the progressive dream of having two Democrat presidents in the first quarter of the century who are puppets; easily controlled by the power players in the shadows.
"Chicago Boyz" is always a good read, and this article is a particularly good one. The author manages to take Biden seriously, and looks at the broad strokes of his economic plan from the perspective of a classical economist.
And it's scary.
"Is the Biden Economic Plan on the Right Track?
Biden's Plan is an Extortion Racket on the Left-Behind Track
Across time and space the evidence supports competitive market capitalism as the source of virtually all human economic progress. The Biden economic plan is essentially an extortion racket that fails to recognize its inherent limits, doubling down on the bad policies of the current Administration while eliminating the good, apparently because the Party's octogenarian leaders either never learned the limits or have lost control to the young radical left. This plan so far exceeds the limits that even partial success could easily lead to hyper-inflation.
There is a sense that America can always turns things around if it gets derailed but the progressive perspective dominates America's intellectual elite and media. Argentina was once on the capitalist fast track parallel to the U.S., but progressive President Juan Peron switched tracks in 1946, and Argentina has been left behind ever since."
Biden will use the immense power of the administrative state to reshape our economy along the lines of the Indian caste system, where economic advantage is conferred based on ethnic group. That in itself would be tremendously destructive; destroying economic incentives and creating a vast bureaucracy dedicated to racial and ethnic "equality." But his monetary policy and headlong rush to unionize pretty much everyone would be the death knell for American industrial and technological might.
Whether that would be the final nail in the destruction of American Exceptionalism, or would it be open borders? Who knows? But either one would be enough to end America's cultural, industrial, technological and social superiority. We would become just one of many struggling socialist nations, fighting for a slice of a shrinking pie.
i think it's about time we audit the covid numbers.:
WELLINGTON, Fla. (CBS12) — A report from the Palm Beach County Medical examiner obtained by CBS12 News shows that a young Wellington nurse believed to have passed from COVID-19, was never infected with the virus at all.
The report shows that 33-year-old Danielle DiCenso died from "complications of acute pyelonephritis," otherwise known as a kidney infection.
DiCenso was quarantining at home when she died suddenly in her sleep. Before she passed away, DiCenso was tested for COVID-19 after she was reportedly exposed to the virus at work.
Her husband, David DiCenso told CBS12 News that the young nurse was not given proper PPE at her job at Palmetto General in Hialeah. He said she began experiencing coronavirus symptoms in late March, and her test came back inconclusive.
CHT took Rev. to the wood shed. Again. " You also out and out lie. I have NEVER claimed that Presidents "create" flu and other viruses.
Are you saying you DID NOT attempt to compare the seasonal flu that happened "under Obama" to the Covid virus that happened "under Trump" as if they were responsible for them?
But if you want...
You can just clear it all up right now, Reverend...
By declaring that Presidents do not create or are responsible for the sicknesses and viruses (like the flu and Coronavirus) that have been going on for centuries.
If you refuse to clear it up with that admission.
Then we know you are the one lying!
Which is par for the course for the washed up Reverend."

Your desperation is getting worse than ever before
personally i'm not feeling it alky.
desperation? over what? a bunch of phony polls showing a drooling retard up by 20 points? those polls are for YOUR benefit, alky. we're not fazed by them simply by how fucking ridiculous they are.
if biden was a serious threat you clowns wouldn't be looking for new and creative ways to explain away him ducking the debates.
Democrats were never interested in police reform,” former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent Dan Bongino told “Fox & Friends” on Monday.
“Here's what they’re really interested in: Democrat police reform,” Bongino, a Fox News contributor, continued. “They want a reform they could go and use as a political football to say, ‘Hey, look what we did.’ Not, ‘Look what the country did.’”
Bongino made the comments after host Ainsley Earhardt noted that several Democrats are saying they're ready to wait until 2021 to overhaul the criminal justice system.

Democrats Warn GOP Over Filling Supreme Court Vacancy August 3, 2020 at 12:16 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
“Democrats are warning Republicans not to fill a possible Supreme Court vacancy this year after denying President Barack Obama the chance in 2016, saying it would embolden a push on the left to ADD SEATS TO THE COURT whenever they regain power,” NBC News reports.
Said Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA): “If they show that they’re unwilling to respect precedent, rules and history, then they can’t feign surprise when others talk about using a statutory option that we have that’s fully constitutional in our availability. I don’t want to do that. But if they act in such a way, they may push it to an inevitability. So they need to be careful about that.”
Except from a few people have not committed any crimes, other than disagreements with the President who is a wannabe dictator
who are you trying to convince, alky?
it must be yourself, because we know better.
antifa and burn, loot, murder are complicit in the commission of thousands of crimes. arson, assault, murder, looting, etc. federal, state & local.
if Trump was the dictator you say he is, he'd act like it. and your little antifa/blm pansies would be corpses stacked up like cord wood.
so far he's doing his job and is protecting federal facilities. other than that he's letting your scumbags run wild. and us normals who disapprove of their shit are taking note.
you have to be pounding down your opioids by the bushel to believe the majority of the American people support the fucking nonsense that's going on, or is prepared to elect a drooling retard to help set fire to the REST of the country.
“Democrats are warning Republicans not to fill a possible Supreme Court vacancy this year after denying President Barack Obama the chance in 2016, saying it would embolden a push on the left to ADD SEATS TO THE COURT whenever they regain power,” NBC News reports.
LOL.
yeah, FDR tried pulling that shit.
it did not go in his favor.
the GOP needs to tell the democrats to GET FUCKED.
what's been happening so far has been anything but. and no amount of delusions on your part can change that.
the antifa/blm rioters should hit their knees and thank God every day that this is 2020 and not 1780. the founders would've strung them up for treason. and rightly so.
"Communist Party leader Bob Avakian has announced his support for former Vice President Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election.
Avakian, the founder and leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA, told his followers in a statement on Saturday that they should vote for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election."
I SAID TO CH: You also out and out lie. I have NEVER claimed that Presidents "create" flu and other viruses.
Are you saying you DID NOT attempt to compare the seasonal flu that happened "under Obama" to the Covid virus that happened "under Trump" as if they were responsible for them?
But if you want...
You can just clear it all up right now, Reverend...
I SAY: That is easy enough to do, Ch. Rat was trying to say that Obama dealt with the swine flu far better than Trump dealt with the Covid virus.
I simply pointed out that there were far, far, far more Covid deaths in Trump's last few months than there were swine flu deaths in ALL of Obama's time in office.
That is NOT to say that either Trump or Obama "created" either the swine flu or the Covid virus.
Neither of them "created" either virus, nor did I say they did.
Only a liar like you would you make up that conclusion. ________
Ch goes on, with my comments in BOLD:
By declaring that Presidents do not create I NEVER SAID THEY DID or are responsible for the sicknesses and viruses (like the flu and Coronavirus) I DID SAY THAT BOTH TRUMP AND OBAMA WERE AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW THEY HANDLED THE FLU AND THE CARONAVIRUS AND THE RESULTING SICKNESSES AND DEATHS...
If you refuse to clear it up with that admission Then we know you are the one lying!
I JUST CLEARED IT UP, BUT I DOUBT IF YOU CAN RECOGNIZE SIMPLE TRUTH, YOU WHO ARE SO DETERMINED PUT WORDS I NEVER SAID IN MY MOUTH IN ORDER TO DISTORT AND LIE ABOUT WHAT I DO SAY, AND WHAT I STILL PROUDLY SAY.
That dealing with the seasonal flu is exactly the same and a fair comparison to dealing with the Covid-19 outbreak?
Well, there you have it. The Reverend qualified himself.
Still in an idiotic fashion. But a qualification of stupidity either way!
btw... not to fact check or anything but the CDC keeps track of flu deaths as well (They started a couple years after the swine flu outbreak) and from 2010-2011 through 2016-2017 (part of the Obama legacy) - there were 242,000 deaths from the flu.
Spin it however you like. You pretend that Trump is to blame for Covid and Obama is a hero for his response to...
The flu?
So either way, you're an idiot. Either for believing they are responsible for the onset or thinking the flu (which we never actually do anything about) and Covid requires the same response.
And I did "look it up"
Here is one year: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2014-2015.html
From the CDC website. You know the Centers for Disease Control? The point people for the Covid Response?
Are they suddenly not to be trusted?
This is from one year:
The overall burden of influenza for the 2014-2015 season was an estimated 30 million influenza illnesses, 14 million influenza-associated medical visits, 591,000 influenza-related hospitalizations, and 51,000 flu-associated deaths.
So the Centers of Disease Control says 51,000 dead in one flu season.
You state 12,469 over the course of Obama's Presidency?
Where is your source from Reverend?
Is it more credible than the Centers for Disease Control?
Cali - there is no official total for the "Swine flu". All we have are estimates. They (WHO) only "confirmed" about a half million cases world-wide, but estimated more like a billion people caught it.
Our response was to basically do nothing... and later test to see if we could find additional vaccines.
Not sure how you give credit or blame to a President for a "pandemic" where the President was not actually required to do anything.
So whether the Swine flu killed twelve thousand or twelve million it really doesn't make any difference.
Is right back to pretending that the seasonal flu and Covid-19 are the same sort of issue that can be honestly compared.
You simply cannot fix stupid!
An honest person would admit that neither President were responsible for any diseases and that it's completely stupid and pointless to compare apples to oranges.
Especially yours using Bonogino as a source.........BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! The real question will trump quit the race before he loses his mind and the election??????
So whether the Swine flu killed twelve thousand or twelve million it really doesn't make any difference!!!
Sure it does......rat and you keep comparing the Obama flu to covid as interchangeable......the difference being there was a vaccine for the flu.......which was pushed while trump promised it would go away as 100x people died under trumps watch..,,,,that is a major difference!!!!!
I agree you can't fix stupid. I agree not everyone is an honest person.
From Wiki: The final estimate was of over 12,000 deaths over the course of the pandemic (April 2009 – April 2010).
CH SAYS: An honest person would admit that neither President were(sic) responsible for any diseases.
JAMES SAID: I never said that either President was responsible for the outbreak of the diseases. I only said that they were and are responsible for how they RESPONDED to the diseases, and the resultant numbers of sicknesses and deaths resulting from their responses.
But do continue dancing about. Yes, do continue lying.
Are you suggesting that the results of the Covid-19 virus would be different had it not been for what certain politicians actually just "said" ??
Is that "really" your position?
Because we did far more in response to Covid than our Country EVER has done for any virus, disease, or other health situation. There has never been any other "pandemic" taken as seriously as this one.
Keep in mind that original estimates were that somewhere between 1.2 and 2 million Americans could possibly die from this.
I only said that they were and are responsible for how they RESPONDED to the diseases,
Well I am glad you put that in "bold print" Reverend.
Because as far as I recall... our Federal or Stats Governments provided little or no guidance regarding the "Swine flu". There were no shut downs, closing of businesses, Federal guidelines, temporary hospitals, military medical ships, mask mandates, curfews, phases of who could be open, or even anyone keeping any real track of what was happening.
We simply went about things... business as usual.
I guess we should all throw our arms out of socket patting Obamagod on the back for that response, huh?
You know... no way could Trump have ever pulled that off. No way could he have ignored the swine flu with the passion and grace that Obama did. I am sure probably a couple million would have died if Trump had been President.
You know... because he said something that offended someone.
Nah, Lil Schitty,,,,,I am sure you are full of shit!!!!! Sorry sport, you cannot compare the flu to covid like rat has done for weeks.......Yeah, the flu counts are estimates but when your covid is 100x the flu.....your shitty logic goes to hell......BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!! The original estimate was just that....it might happen if we do nothing.......you never know how bad it could become......asshole
No way could he have ignored the swine flu with the passion and grace that Obama did
Hey dumb fuck......there was a vaccine that 52% of the population did not get!!!!!! There were plenty of PSA's recommending the vaccine and the majority of the population were too dumb like you to get vaccinated !!!
BEFORE IT WAS KNOWN HOW BAD TRUMP'S 150K PLUS DEATHS WOULD BE
In tweets and other appearances, President Trump’s H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic Spin By Jessica McDonald and Lori Robertson
Donald Trump has repeatedly compared his response to the new coronavirus with President Barack Obama’s handling of the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. But Trump’s information is frequently incorrect or misleading — and the two viruses are very different.
In a March 4 telephone interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, for example, Trump falsely claimed that the Obama administration “didn’t do anything” about the 2009 pandemic.
Trump, March 4: Well, I just say that it’s, you know, a very, very small number in this country. And we’re going to try and keep it that way as much as possible. I will say, though, the H1N1, that was swine flu, commonly referred to as swine flu. And that went from around April of ’09 to April of ’10, where there were 60 million cases of swine flu. And over — actually, it’s over 13,000. I think you might have said 17. I had heard it was 13, but a lot of — a lot of deaths. And they didn’t do anything about it. Interestingly, with the swine flu, children were — in particular, they were vulnerable, sort of the opposite in that respect. But children were very vulnerable to the swine flu. But they never did close the borders. I don’t think they ever did have the travel ban. And we did. And, again, they lost at least 13,000. ___
In a March 12 meeting with the prime minister of Ireland, Trump repeated the sentiment.
TRUMP: “If you go back and look at the swine flu, and what happened with the swine flu, you’ll see how many people died, and how actually nothing was done for such a long period of time, as people were dying all over the place,” he said. “We’re doing it the opposite. We’re very much ahead of everything.”
Trump is correct on the number of H1N1 cases and deaths, but it’s misleading to compare those figures to the current outbreak of COVID-19, which has just begun. It’s also not true that the Obama administration did nothing or waited a long time to act on the H1N1 influenza pandemic.
In 2009, a new H1N1 influenza virus cropped up out of season, in late spring. Because of genetic similarities to influenza viruses in pigs, it became known as a “swine flu,” even though there is no evidence the virus spread between pigs or pigs to humans.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were about 60.8 million cases of infection with the novel type of influenza virus in the U.S. between April 2009 and April 2010, with a total of approximately 274,304 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths.
While that death toll may sound high, it’s over an entire year and, in fact, ended up being far lower than was initially expected. The strain of influenza also turned out to have a case fatality rate of just 0.02% — well below even many typical seasonal influenzas.
Everything that’s known about the new coronavirus so far suggests that it’s an entirely different beast than its most recent pandemic predecessor. Peter Jay Hotez, a professor and dean of the tropical medicine school at Baylor College of Medicine, told us that the new virus, which is known as SARS-CoV-2, is considerably more transmissible and more lethal than H1N1.
For those reasons, he said, “the urgency to contain this coronavirus is so much greater than the H1N1 2009 one was.”
Trump’s Name Should Live In Infamy August 3, 2020 at 4:28 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
George Conway: “Trump’s sanction must come at the polls, and beyond. For the sake of our constitutional republic, he must lose, and lose badly. Yet that should be just a start: We should only honor former presidents who uphold and sustain our nation’s enduring democratic values. There should be no schools, bridges or statues devoted to Trump. His name should live in infamy, and he should be remembered, if at all, for precisely what he was — not a president, but a blundering cheat.”
BEFORE IT WAS KNOWN HOW BAD TRUMP'S 150K PLUS DEATHS WOULD BE
actually pederast, before it was known there would be 150K US deaths, phony fauci had fallen for the "model" (LOL) that predicted 2.1 MILLION US deaths.
so yeah, you can stop spinning and moving the goalposts now.
In a March 4 telephone interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, for example, Trump falsely claimed that the Obama administration “didn’t do anything” about the 2009 pandemic.
falsely?
skeets didn't do a fucking thing.
hand sanitizer popped up all over. skeets didn't put it there. he didn't do shit.
He ensured that vaccine was available to all Americans which idiots and 52% of the population like you choose not to get....!!!!!! Can't fix stupid as deep as yours!!!!!! What else was he supposed to do asshole, hold your fucking hand when you got the shot???? BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Trump Reveals Self-Delusion Over Virus Deaths August 4, 2020 at 6:54 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
“It’s sometimes hard to determine whether President Trump is being willfully misleading or if he truly believes what he’s saying. But an astonishing interview clip from Axios appears to show that Trump has genuinely managed to convince himself that his response to the coronavirus pandemic has been effective—because he only considers partial and deceptively flattering statistics to be true,” the Daily Beast reports.
“Brandishing childishly simplistic, brightly colored COVID-19 graphs presumably provided to him by aides trying to keep him happy, Trump proudly tells Axios’ Jonathan Swan that the U.S. is ‘lower than the world,’ without elaborating. When Swan looks at the chart, it becomes clear Trump is only considering death as a proportion of coronavirus cases—not as a proportion of population, which shows the U.S. IS FARING VERY BADLY.”
Trump snaps back: “You can’t do that. You have to go by where… look, here is the United States… You have to go by the cases.”
TRUMP LIES THE WAY CH AND RAT AND THE REST OF YOU LIE.

“In the absence of a national testing strategy for the novel coronavirus pandemic, six governors have formed a first-of-its-kind purchasing compact they hope will pressure companies that make rapid-detection tests to quickly ramp up production,” the Washington Post reports.
“The governors, three Republicans and three Democrats, say other states and cities may join them and that talks have already begun with one of the two companies approved by the FDA to sell point-of-care antigen tests that can detect the virus in less than 30 minutes.”

President Trump’s nominee for U.S. ambassador to Germany has a history of making xenophobic and racist comments about immigrants and refugees, CNN reports.
Retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor, a decorated combat veteran, author and frequent guest on Fox News, claimed that Muslim migrants were coming to Europe “with the goal of eventually turning Europe into an Islamic state.”
He criticized Germany for giving “millions of unwanted Muslim invaders” welfare benefits rather than providing more funding for its armed services.

“Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Senate Republicans that negotiators are no closer to a coronavirus relief deal than they were last week, blaming Democratic leadership for the continuing stalemate,” The Hill reports.
Meanwhile, Politico reports the White House is considering a trio of executive orders aimed at shaking up negotiations with Democrats.
“The three actions under consideration would delay the collection of federal payroll taxes, reinstitute an expired eviction moratorium, and in the riskiest gambit of them all, extend enhanced federal unemployment benefits using unspent money already appropriated by Congress.”

Across time and space the evidence supports competitive market capitalism as the source of virtually all human economic progress. The Biden economic plan is essentially an extortion racket that fails to recognize its inherent limits, doubling down on the bad policies of the current Administration while eliminating the good, apparently because the Party's octogenarian leaders either never learned the limits or have lost control to the young radical left. This plan so far exceeds the limits that even partial success could easily lead to hyper-inflation.
There is a sense that America can always turns things around if it gets derailed but the progressive perspective dominates America's intellectual elite and media. Argentina was once on the capitalist fast track parallel to the U.S., but progressive President Juan Peron switched tracks in 1946, and Argentina has been left behind ever since."
Biden will use the immense power of the administrative state to reshape our economy along the lines of the Indian caste system, where economic advantage is conferred based on ethnic group. That in itself would be tremendously destructive; destroying economic incentives and creating a vast bureaucracy dedicated to racial and ethnic "equality." But his monetary policy and headlong rush to unionize pretty much everyone would be the death knell for American industrial and technological might.
Whether that would be the final nail in the destruction of American Exceptionalism, or would it be open borders? Who knows? But either one would be enough to end America's cultural, industrial, technological and social superiority. We would become just one of many struggling socialist nations, fighting for a slice of a shrinking pie.
Just think Venezuela with snow.

i think it's about time we audit the covid numbers.:
WELLINGTON, Fla. (CBS12) — A report from the Palm Beach County Medical examiner obtained by CBS12 News shows that a young Wellington nurse believed to have passed from COVID-19, was never infected with the virus at all.
The report shows that 33-year-old Danielle DiCenso died from "complications of acute pyelonephritis," otherwise known as a kidney infection.
DiCenso was quarantining at home when she died suddenly in her sleep. Before she passed away, DiCenso was tested for COVID-19 after she was reportedly exposed to the virus at work.
Her husband, David DiCenso told CBS12 News that the young nurse was not given proper PPE at her job at Palmetto General in Hialeah. He said she began experiencing coronavirus symptoms in late March, and her test came back inconclusive.

Democrats were never interested in police reform,” former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent Dan Bongino told “Fox & Friends” on Monday.
“Here's what they’re really interested in: Democrat police reform,” Bongino, a Fox News contributor, continued. “They want a reform they could go and use as a political football to say, ‘Hey, look what we did.’ Not, ‘Look what the country did.’”
Bongino made the comments after host Ainsley Earhardt noted that several Democrats are saying they're ready to wait until 2021 to overhaul the criminal justice system.

Democrats Warn GOP Over Filling Supreme Court Vacancy
August 3, 2020 at 12:16 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
“Democrats are warning Republicans not to fill a possible Supreme Court vacancy this year after denying President Barack Obama the chance in 2016, saying it would embolden a push on the left to ADD SEATS TO THE COURT whenever they regain power,” NBC News reports.
Said Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA):
“If they show that they’re unwilling to respect precedent, rules and history, then they can’t feign surprise when others talk about using a statutory option that we have that’s fully constitutional in our availability. I don’t want to do that. But if they act in such a way, they may push it to an inevitability. So they need to be careful about that.”

RE 12:2Opm
I SAID TO CH:
You also out and out lie. I have NEVER claimed that Presidents "create" flu and other viruses.
Are you saying you DID NOT attempt to compare the seasonal flu that happened "under Obama" to the Covid virus that happened "under Trump" as if they were responsible for them?
But if you want...
You can just clear it all up right now, Reverend...
I SAY:
That is easy enough to do, Ch.
Rat was trying to say that Obama dealt with the swine flu far better than Trump dealt with the Covid virus.
I simply pointed out that there were far, far, far more Covid deaths in Trump's last few months
than there were swine flu deaths in ALL of Obama's time in office.
That is NOT to say that either Trump or Obama "created" either the swine flu or the Covid virus.
Neither of them "created" either virus, nor did I say they did.
Only a liar like you would you make up that conclusion.
________
Ch goes on, with my comments in BOLD:
By declaring that Presidents
do not create
I NEVER SAID THEY DID
or are responsible for the sicknesses and viruses (like the flu and Coronavirus)
I DID SAY THAT BOTH TRUMP AND OBAMA WERE AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW THEY HANDLED THE FLU AND THE CARONAVIRUS AND THE RESULTING SICKNESSES AND DEATHS...
If you refuse to clear it up with that admission
Then we know you are the one lying!
I JUST CLEARED IT UP,
BUT I DOUBT IF YOU CAN RECOGNIZE SIMPLE TRUTH, YOU WHO ARE SO DETERMINED PUT WORDS I NEVER SAID IN MY MOUTH IN ORDER TO DISTORT AND LIE ABOUT WHAT I DO SAY, AND WHAT I STILL PROUDLY SAY.
DEATHS UNDER TRUMP
152,840 as of two days ago
DEATHS UNDER OBAMA
12,469 TOTAL
Who took who to the woodshed, Kansas Dimwit?
I've seen you do that again and again, Ch.
You take a phrase like
"they are responsible for how they HANDLED the viruses"
and make it say
"they are responsible for CREATING the viruses"
and THAT, AS I SAID,
IS NOTHING BUT AN OUT AND OUT LIE.
So it's your understanding Reverend...
That dealing with the seasonal flu is exactly the same and a fair comparison to dealing with the Covid-19 outbreak?
Well, there you have it. The Reverend qualified himself.
Still in an idiotic fashion. But a qualification of stupidity either way!
btw... not to fact check or anything but the CDC keeps track of flu deaths as well (They started a couple years after the swine flu outbreak) and from 2010-2011 through 2016-2017 (part of the Obama legacy) - there were 242,000 deaths from the flu.
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2010-2011.html
I wonder out loud if you got the 12,469 number from Goddard?
No, I did not "qualify" myself.
I did not have to.
I never said what you said I said
and you cannot quote me saying it.
YOU LIED. YOU OUT AND OUT LIED. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
12,469 Look it up. It's widely available.
James according to you calling James is the badge worn by weak feckless cowards.
"Dimwit?"
CHT took you James, to the woodshed in spectacular fashion.
Yes Reverend...
Spin it however you like. You pretend that Trump is to blame for Covid and Obama is a hero for his response to...
The flu?
So either way, you're an idiot. Either for believing they are responsible for the onset or thinking the flu (which we never actually do anything about) and Covid requires the same response.
And I did "look it up"
Here is one year: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2014-2015.html
From the CDC website. You know the Centers for Disease Control? The point people for the Covid Response?
Are they suddenly not to be trusted?
This is from one year:
The overall burden of influenza for the 2014-2015 season was an estimated 30 million influenza illnesses, 14 million influenza-associated medical visits, 591,000 influenza-related hospitalizations, and 51,000 flu-associated deaths.
So the Centers of Disease Control says 51,000 dead in one flu season.
You state 12,469 over the course of Obama's Presidency?
Where is your source from Reverend?
Is it more credible than the Centers for Disease Control?
And of course the pederast changes his claims
Blogger James said...
rrb, give us the number of flu deaths in the USA under Obama during his entire eight years
compared to the number of Covid-19 deaths under Trump during his last five months
Now it’s swine flu
Cali - there is no official total for the "Swine flu". All we have are estimates. They (WHO) only "confirmed" about a half million cases world-wide, but estimated more like a billion people caught it.
Our response was to basically do nothing... and later test to see if we could find additional vaccines.
Not sure how you give credit or blame to a President for a "pandemic" where the President was not actually required to do anything.
So whether the Swine flu killed twelve thousand or twelve million it really doesn't make any difference.
Call it flu, call it swine flu, the number's the same :-)
____________
And by the way, my source said
12,469 TOTAL DEATHS for Obama
But even if yours if correct,
51,000 flu-associated DEATHS
That's a whole lot LESS than
Trump's 152,840 covid DEATHS
as of two days ago
(after only a few months)
But once again,
I never said that either Trump or Obama "created"
a flu virus or any kind of virus, LIAR.
He stupid the 51,000 is one year
So the Reverend...
Is right back to pretending that the seasonal flu and Covid-19 are the same sort of issue that can be honestly compared.
You simply cannot fix stupid!
An honest person would admit that neither President were responsible for any diseases and that it's completely stupid and pointless to compare apples to oranges.
But not everyone is an honest person.
You simply cannot fix stupid!
Especially yours using Bonogino as a source.........BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! The real question will trump quit the race before he loses his mind and the election??????
So whether the Swine flu killed twelve thousand or twelve million it really doesn't make any difference!!!
Sure it does......rat and you keep comparing the Obama flu to covid as interchangeable......the difference being there was a vaccine for the flu.......which was pushed while trump promised it would go away as 100x people died under trumps watch..,,,,that is a major difference!!!!!
Bonogino as a source

James, stop walking into the baseball bat CHT is swinging.
I agree you can't fix stupid.
I agree not everyone is an honest person.
From Wiki:
The final estimate was of over 12,000 deaths over the course of the pandemic (April 2009 – April 2010).
CH SAYS:
An honest person would admit that neither President were(sic) responsible for any diseases.
JAMES SAID:
I never said that either President was responsible for the outbreak of the diseases.
I only said that they were and are responsible for how they RESPONDED to the diseases,
and the resultant numbers of sicknesses and deaths resulting from their responses.
But do continue dancing about.
Yes, do continue lying.
So Denny...
Are you suggesting that the results of the Covid-19 virus would be different had it not been for what certain politicians actually just "said" ??
Is that "really" your position?
Because we did far more in response to Covid than our Country EVER has done for any virus, disease, or other health situation. There has never been any other "pandemic" taken as seriously as this one.
Keep in mind that original estimates were that somewhere between 1.2 and 2 million Americans could possibly die from this.
I only said that they were and are responsible for how they RESPONDED to the diseases,
Well I am glad you put that in "bold print" Reverend.
Because as far as I recall... our Federal or Stats Governments provided little or no guidance regarding the "Swine flu". There were no shut downs, closing of businesses, Federal guidelines, temporary hospitals, military medical ships, mask mandates, curfews, phases of who could be open, or even anyone keeping any real track of what was happening.
We simply went about things... business as usual.
I guess we should all throw our arms out of socket patting Obamagod on the back for that response, huh?
Wow! What a fucking hero!!!!
You know... no way could Trump have ever pulled that off. No way could he have ignored the swine flu with the passion and grace that Obama did. I am sure probably a couple million would have died if Trump had been President.
You know... because he said something that offended someone.
Nah, Lil Schitty,,,,,I am sure you are full of shit!!!!! Sorry sport, you cannot compare the flu to covid like rat has done for weeks.......Yeah, the flu counts are estimates but when your covid is 100x the flu.....your shitty logic goes to hell......BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!! The original estimate was just that....it might happen if we do nothing.......you never know how bad it could become......asshole
No way could he have ignored the swine flu with the passion and grace that Obama did
Hey dumb fuck......there was a vaccine that 52% of the population did not get!!!!!! There were plenty of PSA's recommending the vaccine and the majority of the population were too dumb like you to get vaccinated !!!

BEFORE IT WAS KNOWN HOW BAD TRUMP'S 150K PLUS DEATHS WOULD BE
In tweets and other appearances, President Trump’s H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic Spin
By Jessica McDonald and Lori Robertson
Donald Trump has repeatedly compared his response to the new coronavirus with President Barack Obama’s handling of the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. But Trump’s information is frequently incorrect or misleading — and the two viruses are very different.
In a March 4 telephone interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, for example, Trump falsely claimed that the Obama administration “didn’t do anything” about the 2009 pandemic.
Trump, March 4:
Well, I just say that it’s, you know, a very, very small number in this country. And we’re going to try and keep it that way as much as possible. I will say, though, the H1N1, that was swine flu, commonly referred to as swine flu. And that went from around April of ’09 to April of ’10, where there were 60 million cases of swine flu. And over — actually, it’s over 13,000. I think you might have said 17. I had heard it was 13, but a lot of — a lot of deaths. And they didn’t do anything about it. Interestingly, with the swine flu, children were — in particular, they were vulnerable, sort of the opposite in that respect. But children were very vulnerable to the swine flu. But they never did close the borders. I don’t think they ever did have the travel ban. And we did. And, again, they lost at least 13,000.
___
In a March 12 meeting with the prime minister of Ireland, Trump repeated the sentiment.
TRUMP:
“If you go back and look at the swine flu, and what happened with the swine flu, you’ll see how many people died, and how actually nothing was done for such a long period of time, as people were dying all over the place,” he said. “We’re doing it the opposite. We’re very much ahead of everything.”
Trump is correct on the number of H1N1 cases and deaths, but it’s misleading to compare those figures to the current outbreak of COVID-19, which has just begun. It’s also not true that the Obama administration did nothing or waited a long time to act on the H1N1 influenza pandemic.
In 2009, a new H1N1 influenza virus cropped up out of season, in late spring. Because of genetic similarities to influenza viruses in pigs, it became known as a “swine flu,” even though there is no evidence the virus spread between pigs or pigs to humans.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were about 60.8 million cases of infection with the novel type of influenza virus in the U.S. between April 2009 and April 2010, with a total of approximately 274,304 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths.
While that death toll may sound high, it’s over an entire year and, in fact, ended up being far lower than was initially expected. The strain of influenza also turned out to have a case fatality rate of just 0.02% — well below even many typical seasonal influenzas.
Everything that’s known about the new coronavirus so far suggests that it’s an entirely different beast than its most recent pandemic predecessor. Peter Jay Hotez, a professor and dean of the tropical medicine school at Baylor College of Medicine, told us that the new virus, which is known as SARS-CoV-2, is considerably more transmissible and more lethal than H1N1.
For those reasons, he said, “the urgency to contain this coronavirus is so much greater than the H1N1 2009 one was.”
Spin on.
Lie on.
Trump’s Name Should Live In Infamy
August 3, 2020 at 4:28 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
George Conway:
“Trump’s sanction must come at the polls, and beyond. For the sake of our constitutional republic, he must lose, and lose badly. Yet that should be just a start: We should only honor former presidents who uphold and sustain our nation’s enduring democratic values. There should be no schools, bridges or statues devoted to Trump. His name should live in infamy, and he should be remembered, if at all, for precisely what he was — not a president, but a blundering cheat.”
But that's putting it far too mildly.
BEFORE IT WAS KNOWN HOW BAD TRUMP'S 150K PLUS DEATHS WOULD BE
actually pederast, before it was known there would be 150K US deaths, phony fauci had fallen for the "model" (LOL) that predicted 2.1 MILLION US deaths.

How many did Obama save...

Trump Reveals Self-Delusion Over Virus Deaths
August 4, 2020 at 6:54 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
“It’s sometimes hard to determine whether President Trump is being willfully misleading or if he truly believes what he’s saying. But an astonishing interview clip from Axios appears to show that Trump has genuinely managed to convince himself that his response to the coronavirus pandemic has been effective—because he only considers partial and deceptively flattering statistics to be true,” the Daily Beast reports.
“Brandishing childishly simplistic, brightly colored COVID-19 graphs presumably provided to him by aides trying to keep him happy, Trump proudly tells Axios’ Jonathan Swan that the U.S. is ‘lower than the world,’ without elaborating. When Swan looks at the chart, it becomes clear Trump is only considering death as a proportion of coronavirus cases—not as a proportion of population, which shows the U.S. IS FARING VERY BADLY.”
Trump snaps back:
“You can’t do that. You have to go by where… look, here is the United States… You have to go by the cases.”
TRUMP LIES THE WAY CH AND RAT AND THE REST OF YOU LIE.

In 2009, a new H1N1 influenza virus cropped up out of season, in late spring. Because of genetic similarities to influenza viruses in pigs, it became known as a “swine flu,” even though there is no evidence the virus spread between pigs or pigs to humans.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were about 60.8 million cases of infection with the novel type of influenza virus in the U.S. between April 2009 and April 2010, with a total of approximately 274,304 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths.
While that death toll may sound high, it’s over an entire year and, in fact, ended up being far lower than was initially expected. The strain of influenza also turned out to have a case fatality rate of just 0.02% — well below even many typical seasonal influenzas.
Everything that’s known about the new coronavirus so far suggests that it’s an entirely different beast than its most recent pandemic predecessor. Peter Jay Hotez, a professor and dean of the tropical medicine school at Baylor College of Medicine, told us that the new virus, which is known as SARS-CoV-2, is considerably more transmissible and more lethal than H1N1.
For those reasons, he said, “the urgency to contain this coronavirus is so much greater than the H1N1 2009 one was.”
Six Governors Join Forces on Testing Strategy

“In the absence of a national testing strategy for the novel coronavirus pandemic, six governors have formed a first-of-its-kind purchasing compact they hope will pressure companies that make rapid-detection tests to quickly ramp up production,” the Washington Post reports.
“The governors, three Republicans and three Democrats, say other states and cities may join them and that talks have already begun with one of the two companies approved by the FDA to sell point-of-care antigen tests that can detect the virus in less than 30 minutes.”

ProPublica found nearly half of all top-performing Facebook posts that mentioned voting by mail were false or misleading.
“Many of these falsehoods appear to violate Facebook’s standards yet have not been taken down or labeled as inaccurate. Some of them, generalizing from one or two cases, portrayed people of color as the face of voter fraud.”

President Trump’s nominee for U.S. ambassador to Germany has a history of making xenophobic and racist comments about immigrants and refugees, CNN reports.
Retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor, a decorated combat veteran, author and frequent guest on Fox News, claimed that Muslim migrants were coming to Europe “with the goal of eventually turning Europe into an Islamic state.”
He criticized Germany for giving “millions of unwanted Muslim invaders” welfare benefits rather than providing more funding for its armed services.
No Closer to a Relief Deal

“Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Senate Republicans that negotiators are no closer to a coronavirus relief deal than they were last week, blaming Democratic leadership for the continuing stalemate,” The Hill reports.
Meanwhile, Politico reports the White House is considering a trio of executive orders aimed at shaking up negotiations with Democrats.
“The three actions under consideration would delay the collection of federal payroll taxes, reinstitute an expired eviction moratorium, and in the riskiest gambit of them all, extend enhanced federal unemployment benefits using unspent money already appropriated by Congress.”
