This isn't even close to the first time this has happened.
You know that 9/11 first responders bill that Jon Stewart helps push? On reddit you'll hear about how "those dirty republicans voted against it" when it gets brought up over there.
Now why would Republicans vote against a bill like that? Republicans love our first responders, right? Of course they do, but the democrats tried to shove billions of dollars worth of spending completely unrelated to the purpose of the bill into it. So obviously the republicans wouldn't vote for it until that shit was taken out
Is that not fucking disgusting or what? Trying to take advantage of a first responders bill to throw some extra spending in it. Now they're doing the same with this virus. If only the media wasn't biased and actually reported on this disgusting fucking behavior, but nope gotta protect the democrats
Trudork's wife tested positive for wuhan and he's in self-quarantine. University staff have given more effective communication on the issue than the actual government.
Sure! Go to twitter and look at realdonaldtrump. You'll find precisely the actions taken so you don't have to rely on anonymous sources familiar with the thinking of people that met Trump once, like you would find on fake news CNN.
The press pool is a chorus of clowns. Same faces trying the same thing time after time after time. It's tiresome and infuriating watching those assholes try to outmaneuver the President, but it's satisfying to watch them fail every single time. It also reveals the pattern, you'd need to have an IQ of less than 80 not to notice that it's those people's jobs to try and turn the public against POTUS with their stupid "gotcha" bullshit. They are so arrogant and foolish they believe the public can't see right through them.
So right ~ like I told a guy at work, that's how stupid they think you are! It's insulting your intelligence when they think they can spout obvious propaganda and outright lies, expecting you to believe them.
People need to take it personally. They think you are stupid. Be offended, call them out on it, and stand your ground. Think critically. Think for yourself.
They are trying to destroy the economy, they are hoping business lay off employees, they hope the unemployment rate goes through the roof, that families struggle when they cancel all school...
Unfortunately the idiots panic buying toilet paper and food are ruining it for the more mentally stable people. Went to my local grocery store yesterday to pick up some chicken to make for dinner. The parking lot was full, the store was full and people were loading up their carts as if they'd never shop again. Because of that I'm going to Aldi this morning and stocking up on the things I normally buy, but just a bit more of it. Schools are being closed, events cancelled (even outdoor ones), and the psyop is working. On the plus side, I hope my husband can work from home. I have several big chores that need doing.
Reminds me of a run on a bank. The first few people grabbing the extra toilet paper means that everyone following has to grab extra in case there's none when they need it.
It's very reassuring to read comments from other rational, intelligent people after going to the store and seeing a bunch of lofo crazies running around. Thanks for your perspective. Makes me feel even more confident with regards to my reaction to this mess.
We live in a nation of plenty, people don't need to be acting like its the apocalypse. There is and will be enough for everyone, and if people would have kept doing what they normally do, they wouldn't have had to endure those lines and people panic shopping. So avoidable.
On the plus side, your husband has a chance to make his wife happy. Lets hope he makes the wise choice!
Yeah, after they’ve ruined young athletes season’s, spoiled the economy, kept students out of the classroom, forced business’s to lay off employees..then it will fizzle out like a campfire in a rain storm.
One of the leagues that was cancelled was the XFL, a reboot league that looked set for years of bigly success, which is now at risk for becoming a failure.
Yep, if you’re successful in stopping an outbreak then it makes everything look like an overreaction. It’s like people can’t comprehend that the reason things weren’t worse was because we reacted adequately and stopped it.
Instead it’s “Lol, they said that was gonna be bad, but it only killed 10,000 people.”
This is the reason for Trumps national emergency declaration yesterday. Now he has time that he can start moving, while congress sits there being useless.
As someone who actually had H1N1, i can say without question that it was far worse than this bullshit. 30 year olds in perfectly good health don't come close to dying from ChinaFlu.
Even with exponential growth i don't think there were 1k additional cases since 4pm on friday.
COVID-19: U.S. at a Glance*
Total cases: 1,629
Total deaths: 41
Jurisdictions reporting cases: 47 (46 states and District of Columbia)
Data include both confirmed and presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 reported to CDC or tested at CDC since January 21, 2020, with the exception of testing results for persons repatriated to the United States from Wuhan, China and Japan. State and local public health departments are now testing and publicly reporting their cases. In the event of a discrepancy between CDC cases and cases reported by state and local public health officials, data reported by states should be considered the most up to date.
Terrence Williams has half a cup of milk for sale, only $24.99. It's at room temp so you won't even have to warm it up! If you prefer cold milk, throw some ice in it. The Dixie Cup it's in is included in the price at no extra charge.
If ya'll haven't seen his video yet, go find it. He's hilarious!
I agree. I've been wanting to do more digging into this sort of thing. Do you have any sources? Isaac Kappy's Livestream was eye opening and that poor woman who got murdered after she figured out Kappy "killed himself" 10 miles away from Epsteins ranch. Heard Elijah wood and Mel Gibson have both talked about it as well. Is it true they do it for the adrenochrome?
I think you have the best theory based on reality. I know a lot of folks here buy into various satanic cult theories, but I believe it simply comes down to power and money.
I mean, I doubt they really see a fetus as a human life. I'm not at all making excuses for them but I honestly believe their brains are wired differently. I'm also sure there's a more than few that do see it as human but just don't care.
100% agree. I think it's the politicians doing the manipulation for power and money. The 'regular' lefty folks just are so out of reality it's crazy. I mean, how can anyone think that an unborn baby in the womb is a parasite. Even just believing that a baby at 8.5 months isn't a human being. I find that whole pro-choice shit to be incredibly appalling.
Seriously. Modern medicine has advanced so much, these bitches should be on birth control if they don't want to get pregnant (or, you know, just don't have sex until you actually want kids). But no, they're too lazy to take such a simple step. They'd rather destroy their bodies and their minds by killing a child.
Correct. It's another Democrat circle of corruption. They give massive money to Planned Parenthood who then gives a large chunk directly and indirectly back to democrat candidates.
Same thing with the teachers unions. Schools get more and more taxpayer money, and the unions give it back to democrats along with votes so they get more money.
I used to think that was an over-the-top "conspiracy theory" but now...? It's definitely plausible.
There's something otherworldly...demonic...going on with their freakin' festivals of women grinning and loudly glorifying their abortions on a stage with a microphone.
The left is a Satan worshipping death cult. They are pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality (no kids), pro-mental illness, pro-open borders (no checks for rapists or murderers), etc.
They are in favor of the destruction of everything that is good, and they will lie, cheat, steal, and kill to get their way.
Baby parts are a business. You can do miraculous shit with human stem cells, and the elite can afford it. Politicians get paid by donors to push the legislation.
Yea it's not like this wasn't effective with her retarded audience. She earlier tweeted something like "the payroll tax cut won't stop the spread of the virus!" I mean really really stupid people will fall for that but also get angry too.
It's like they're literally retarded, because they've got cause and effect completely flipped. They apparently would believe that wet streets cause rain.
Temporarily removing work requirements for food stamp eligibility, at a time when most people will probably be out of work for a short period, is sensible. Why is this such a huge problem for people?
This will simply open the door for a huge influx of males and illegals to game the system even more than they already are. There is no rolling this back once it's put into motion. Surely you can see this.
Here's the thing, when democrats say something is only temporary, they never mean it. It NEVER goes away and becomes permanently "temporary." They are lying scumbags
As lawmakers neared a deal on a coronavirus rescue package that would include paid sick leave and free virus testing, a few roadblocks emerged. Among them: Republican attempts to wedge anti-choice restrictions into the House's relief bill, turning—if momentarily—a public health crisis into an abortion debate.
The tensions reportedly revolved around the Hyde Amendment, a decades-old provision that blocks federal funds from going to abortion services, preventing millions of low-income Americans on Medicaid from accessing abortion care.
According to conservative media, some top Republicans believed a stipulation in the House bill requiring the government to reimburse private laboratories doing coronavirus testing could effectively overturn the Hyde Amendment by establishing a government funding stream not subject to the restrictions. In response, anti-choice lawmakers insisted on including language in the legislation that would reaffirm the principles of the amendment.
When Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced on Thursday that negotiations over the coronavirus response bill would go into next week, he accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of turning the legislation into an “ideological wish list.”
“Instead of focusing on immediate relief to affected individuals, families and businesses, the House Democrats chose to wander into various areas of policy that are barely related if at all to the issue before us,” McConnell said.
Yet it is often Republicans who use unrelated legislation as a vehicle for their anti-abortion agenda. And it’s not the first time they’ve used legislation tied to public health emergencies to do it: Amid the spread of the Zika virus in 2016, anti-choice lawmakers added a caveat blocking Planned Parenthood health care providers from accessing any of the designated emergency funds.
Conservative lawmakers also tried to wedged a sneaky anti-abortion provision into Trump’s 2017 tax plan, giving expectant parents the option of creating a college savings account before their child is even born. The measure included fetal personhood language, referring to fetuses as “unborn children,” and defining “unborn child” as any “child in utero.”
And abortion restrictions have been a sticking point in spending bills, which both parties use to push for policies they’re having trouble advancing by other means. In 2018, the White House pushed Republicans in Congress to slip measures that threatened to cut federal funding to Planned Parenthood into a bill to prevent the third government shutdown of the year—even though government dollars never went to funding abortion services at the clinics because of the Hyde Amendment. A little less than a year later, Democrats used their new House majority to pass a spending bill that challenged the one of the Trump administration’s most wide-reaching abortion restrictions: the global gag rule, a law that bans U.S. funding from going to international organizations that provide abortion services or even discuss abortion as a form of reproductive health care. (This version of the spending bill did not make it past Senate Republicans.)
But while government shutdowns can, at a point, become national emergencies, none so far has compared to the scale of the current global coronavirus pandemic, which could leave the U.S. worse off than countries like Italy—which put a quarter of its population on emergency quarantine—the longer it delays decisive action.
The unemployment benefits and free testing that are at the core of the coronavirus rescue package mean preventing further spread of the virus, and making sure that low-wage workers can afford to pay for food, rent, and other necessities if they get sick, or if their workplaces shutter to mitigate harm, or as a result of government mandates.
Neither of those things have to do with abortion—they’re urgent health matters that require the fastest possible response from elected officials.
Amid the spread of the Zika virus in 2016, anti-choice lawmakers added a caveat blocking Planned Parenthood health care providers from accessing any of the designated emergency funds.
What does Planned Parenthood need Zika Virus funds for? No seriously, what do they do that would require that? They don't even fucking do mammograms and they're fucking supposed to be for helping women, so what would they be doing in their facility that has anything related to zika virus???
EXACTLY, Joy Reid. It has NOTHING to do with COVID19. Why don't you go ask Nazi Pelosi why she put the abortion funding and FISA renewal in a bill supposedly for COVID19 funding?
$100 says Joy deletes this Tweet when she realizes what's really going on.
There's no specific abortion funding language. Republicans just think the language is to broad and could be abused. The Dems are mad because now their loopholes would be closed. They are throwing a tantrum.
Actually the language was floated that circumvented the hyde amendment and was designed specifically to give a billion dollar slush fund straight to planned parenthood. This was retracted once republicans caught on to what they were up to.
Some might have missed the part where millions of the aid money goes to foreign countries to also help them "fight" coronachan. You know, like the funds we sent to Ukraine.
Man, I'm aggressively pro-choice, which is not a popular opinion at all on this forum or movement, but leave your personal politics at the door and make the Corona Virus bill about the Corona Virus bill.
They really don't allow you to support any kind of middle ground here. They push the issues I agree with them on in ways I can't support.
For another example, I do agree pollution and climate change are due some attention... but they need to push it to hysterical "WORLD ENDS IN 12 YEARS" levels that it's impossible to have a serious discussion about more realistic, free market solutions. Instead they make a retarded teenage girl their spokesperson when Elon Musk fucking exists.
If Nancy Pelosi could stop thinking about killing babies for about 5 minutes and contribute something useful to this sudden "plague" we're currently dealing with...
It is now my belief that every virus in an election year was to spend money to launder for dirty politicians. Big lie, big payday for them we are the suckered. This been going o. Since 2004
Yeah, that's what we all thought Joy. Nancy shoving pork in a time of crisis, but worse than that, she was shoving dead baby pork. That IS deplorable!
With Cava beans and a nice Chianti
I grow fava beans. They are tastyđź‘Ś
Do I have to pull off the brown shells on the small ones?
Baby, the OTHER white meat.
They gotta get their spirit dinner from somewhere
I prefer my meat without white supremacy, thank you very much.
They can't keep killing the elderly, so they want to be able to kill some babies instead. Gotta make that sacrifice to Hillary.
This isn't even close to the first time this has happened.
You know that 9/11 first responders bill that Jon Stewart helps push? On reddit you'll hear about how "those dirty republicans voted against it" when it gets brought up over there.

They've been doing this for decades.
Was it removed?
This. They realized that they couldn't impeach him so now they're trying to turn Corona into another "scandal"
Like usual, Trump has once again done everything right. He took swift, thoughtful and decisive action.
Compare that to Justin from Canada who won't protect his own people and kept the borders open. We actually have a leader
Trudork's wife tested positive for wuhan and he's in self-quarantine. University staff have given more effective communication on the issue than the actual government.
And now Grape Ape is in charge.
You beat me to it. Spot on!
I, admittedly, don't know that much about what is going on at the white house. All I'm reading is that this is a horrible fuck up! Can you explain?
Sure! Go to twitter and look at realdonaldtrump. You'll find precisely the actions taken so you don't have to rely on anonymous sources familiar with the thinking of people that met Trump once, like you would find on fake news CNN.
Ah, thanks

Underrated comment.

People need to take it personally. They think you are stupid. Be offended, call them out on it, and stand your ground. Think critically. Think for yourself.
Hell, just think, period.
Not even 80 iq. Most of them will never even know it included abortion stuff because the media never tells them
They are trying to destroy the economy, they are hoping business lay off employees, they hope the unemployment rate goes through the roof, that families struggle when they cancel all school...

Good luck I went out this morning thinking the same thing...
They are still panic buying
It's very reassuring to read comments from other rational, intelligent people after going to the store and seeing a bunch of lofo crazies running around. Thanks for your perspective. Makes me feel even more confident with regards to my reaction to this mess.
It is a shame people are so easily mislead.
We live in a nation of plenty, people don't need to be acting like its the apocalypse. There is and will be enough for everyone, and if people would have kept doing what they normally do, they wouldn't have had to endure those lines and people panic shopping. So avoidable.

Oh trust me I’m waited to watch cov19 go the way of the Australian brush fires. In the news every waking minute, then poof.
We will still have our stocks, 401k, and ruined bonuses to remind us that the dems and their media propaganda arm completely fucked us.
Hope they are ready for a conservative landslide to be rammed up their asses.
SIDEWAYS
Wait yeah what happened to the fires?
Died out when liberal activists got tired of setting those fires.
Yeah, after they’ve ruined young athletes season’s, spoiled the economy, kept students out of the classroom, forced business’s to lay off employees..then it will fizzle out like a campfire in a rain storm.
One of the leagues that was cancelled was the XFL, a reboot league that looked set for years of bigly success, which is now at risk for becoming a failure.
Because Obama was pushing through his commie healthcare.
Because Trump wasn't president
Yep, if you’re successful in stopping an outbreak then it makes everything look like an overreaction. It’s like people can’t comprehend that the reason things weren’t worse was because we reacted adequately and stopped it.
Instead it’s “Lol, they said that was gonna be bad, but it only killed 10,000 people.”
"Viruses dont just fizzle out on their own."
Then what do they do? Do they go on holiday?
Many, many people are bad at math. When the number of cases doubles about every 2 days, the numbers get ugly pretty quickly, is the reality.
I just thought it was a good excuse to buy extra totinos
The Donald is my Torino's...
This is the reason for Trumps national emergency declaration yesterday. Now he has time that he can start moving, while congress sits there being useless.
Swine flu wasn't man-made and also couldn't damage your lungs or immune system.
As someone who actually had H1N1, i can say without question that it was far worse than this bullshit. 30 year olds in perfectly good health don't come close to dying from ChinaFlu.
Based on this world tracker, the US has pushing 2500 cases and 51 deaths this far.

If they don't like it they shouldn't try to shove murdering children down our throats during a "national emergency" then.
Also. Why? Why is killing unborn children so important to these morons?
Edit: Appreciate the feedback everyone, I whole heartdly agree!
I agree. I've been wanting to do more digging into this sort of thing. Do you have any sources? Isaac Kappy's Livestream was eye opening and that poor woman who got murdered after she figured out Kappy "killed himself" 10 miles away from Epsteins ranch. Heard Elijah wood and Mel Gibson have both talked about it as well. Is it true they do it for the adrenochrome?
I just assumed it was because PP donates to the DNC.
I think you have the best theory based on reality. I know a lot of folks here buy into various satanic cult theories, but I believe it simply comes down to power and money.
I mean, I doubt they really see a fetus as a human life. I'm not at all making excuses for them but I honestly believe their brains are wired differently. I'm also sure there's a more than few that do see it as human but just don't care.

They view children as consequences instead of blessings.
Yes, also money from Planned Parenthood goes to the DNC and their candidates.

Money and power.
Baby parts are a business. You can do miraculous shit with human stem cells, and the elite can afford it. Politicians get paid by donors to push the legislation.
The real global currency of the elites is human flesh. They spend our lives like we spend cash.
Yea it's not like this wasn't effective with her retarded audience. She earlier tweeted something like "the payroll tax cut won't stop the spread of the virus!" I mean really really stupid people will fall for that but also get angry too.
Nothing can "stop the spread of the virus" because it's a freakin' VIRUS and viruses spread. It's literally what they do.
The only way to ensure you don't get it is to not be exposed to it, and even that isn't always possible because it's a virus like all other viruses.
What a stupid cow.
It's like they're literally retarded, because they've got cause and effect completely flipped. They apparently would believe that wet streets cause rain.
'Wet sidewalks cause rain.'
The 'news' has been full of this kind of logic for centuries.
Has the tweet been deleted? I can't find it
The Democrats have completely lost their minds. How evil does one have to be to justify killing so openly?
And apparently they've taken up residence in The Peoples House...
Has anyone figured out why the anti-lynching bill was so important to them yet?
...
Anyone?
Sure they took that out but not the billions in assistance to people who won't fucking get a fucking job! Offspring, play me out!
Temporarily removing work requirements for food stamp eligibility, at a time when most people will probably be out of work for a short period, is sensible. Why is this such a huge problem for people?
This will simply open the door for a huge influx of males and illegals to game the system even more than they already are. There is no rolling this back once it's put into motion. Surely you can see this.
Here's the thing, when democrats say something is only temporary, they never mean it. It NEVER goes away and becomes permanently "temporary." They are lying scumbags
Income tax was “temporary” in the 40’s. Look where that got us.
Joy actually has her moments, but they’re way too few and far between. I think they’re also accidental, but that’s beside the point, lol.

Neither can I, went through all her March 12th tweets.
Deletion makes it worse in my opinion. She realized she made the dems look bad and deleted it. The media is a fucking joke

Perhaps someone "hacked" Joy's twitter account again like when old homophobic statements were unearthed on her account, lol.
Exactly, what does abortion have to do with COVID19?
Stupid bitch.

Jerks.
Some might have missed the part where millions of the aid money goes to foreign countries to also help them "fight" coronachan. You know, like the funds we sent to Ukraine.
Usually this is done in countries where we have bases or military personnel
We MUST take back the House, Keep the Senate, and The White House ! Its imperative!!!!!
She really is some kind of stupid.
these people we're up against..they're not..smart.
You can bet they are doing some super shady shit to help rig 2020 while operations are shut down
Maybe Nancy knows you need baby parts for the antidote.
Begins playing Knife Party's Antidote
She has to be allowed to take a life for every one saved.
Seems she should be asking Pelosi this question. Why did you include abortion funding in a Wu flu bill?
The female Don Lemon
Man, I'm aggressively pro-choice, which is not a popular opinion at all on this forum or movement, but leave your personal politics at the door and make the Corona Virus bill about the Corona Virus bill.
They really don't allow you to support any kind of middle ground here. They push the issues I agree with them on in ways I can't support.
For another example, I do agree pollution and climate change are due some attention... but they need to push it to hysterical "WORLD ENDS IN 12 YEARS" levels that it's impossible to have a serious discussion about more realistic, free market solutions. Instead they make a retarded teenage girl their spokesperson when Elon Musk fucking exists.
Joy Reid, Closeted Conservative
I dont want MY MONEY paying for people to MURDER a child for their "convenience".
If Nancy Pelosi could stop thinking about killing babies for about 5 minutes and contribute something useful to this sudden "plague" we're currently dealing with...
That'd be great.
That's a weird way to ask why abortion is being included in a bill about coronavirus.
What an absolute jello brain
Its not a slip up, she knows what she's doing. Now millions of her nit wit NPC followers think conservatives are bringing abortion into this.
I think she means like "who cares if it has funding for abortion, that has nothing to do with the corona. Why wont reps sign a bill to combat corona".
To Joy Reid: 'Your Commie Bias'....
Dumb. Cunt.
It’s crass but it’s a perfect description
I’m indifferent on abortion but Nervous Bitter Nancy is grandstanding when we cannot afford pork spending with a pandemic & $23 trillion in debt.
I dont think she knows what's in the bill and is assuming GOP are being extremists, not realizing Nancy stuffed this full of abortion pork
It is now my belief that every virus in an election year was to spend money to launder for dirty politicians. Big lie, big payday for them we are the suckered. This been going o. Since 2004
Wow!!!!!!!!!
She is really giving Don Lemon, Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter some stiff competition for dumbest person on TV.
There’s Never enough death to satisfy Pelosi
How thick can you get?
