It’s a GREAT twitter thread, it exposes Trump for the genius he is. And exposes academic failure and Democrap insanity

In before before Twitter yanks the thread:

Margot Cleaveland’s Tweet in full:

I'm reading House testimony re coronavirus and had NO IDEA how ballsy @realDonaldTrump decision to ban travel from China was! Apparently, the bureaucrats ran academic models on the scenario & those concluded travel should not be banned. Cuccinelli (Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security) recommended..

2/ban travel anyway, but told Trump what academic modeling said. Trump banned travel from China and saved untold number of lives. Tell me any Democrat would have made that call!! Now, how did I discover this? Well in testimony, Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nevada) had this to say about Trump's lifesaving call....

3/ Rep. Titus went on to say: "I think it probably was and this Administration has very little respect for anything intellectual. And this is yet another example."

4/4 This is an epic case of TDS: Rep. Titus condemns Trump for being anti-intellectual for making a better call than an academic model and saving American lives!! UN-FRICKIN'-REAL.

Precisely. "The bureaucrats" are the entrenched, avaricious, lying, treasonous, murderous Deep State -- literally! Always do the opposite of what those people, who despise you and want you destroyed, tell you to do.

He talks about not trusting data too much and I have to agree. Having spent a lot of time producing models and briefing people, it's amazing how the truth gets filtered out each step of the way to the top. In the end, it results in uninformed senior leaders of they blindly trust their briefings and don't get on the ground and see what's going on for themselves.

Hmmm, they ran models? Are these similar to the kinds of models that show low lying areas like FL and the Maldives will be under water in ten years. You know, the same prediction that hasn't come true for the past 30 years?

Thank God GEOTUS doesn't care for Intellectual Yet Idiot (IYI) opinions.

The CDC fucked up testing and the FDA prevented private tests from being approved. The only reason we're not like Italy yet is because of the travel bans.

The CDC didn't "fuck it up", that's a fake news narrative.

Phase 1 vaccination according to Dr. Fauci was THE FASTEST IN IMMUNIZATION HISTORY.

Educate yourself.

What does his statement and yours have to do with each other? He said tests, you said vaccines. Those are two different words for a reason. I'm not disputing your argument that there was no fuckup at the CDC, but that's just because you failed to make one.

I don't think the other guy was correct, but in absence of information disputing him....

Can’t help but think he does the opposite of their advice constantly.can you blame him? I used to joke about the demacrat projection hypothesis 😷 . Now I trust that hypothesis without doubt. The demacrat leadership is like the ex who constantly accuses you of infidelity while they aren’t cheating while being the pandering whores they project while cheating 😷

Look at the recommendations from the Pandemic war games simulation they ran last year a la Gates Foundation.

NOT to restrict travel. Uhhh...I guess it was a very diverse team that cooked this up. Then again, throw a bunch of bureaucrats into a committee and only stupid will come out anyway.

Remember how FURIOUS he was when these fucking bureaucrats made the on site call without consulting about bringing back INFECTED people?

That's how we got the Corona. One decision made by Bureaucrats.

We need a thread with a timeline of all the attacks against trump over these decisions.

Thanks for posting this.

Too bad this site allowed the same post 2 hours later.

So Trump saved lives or this is all a manufactured crisis?

I'm losing track of the board's position and mods need to clear up the b.s.

If we're gonna ban Coronavirus posts we may as well ban Trump's press conferences too.

"the board" doesn't have a position, and this is not a place where we all have to parrot the opinions of our betters.

Stop presuming false dichotomies every post, jagoff

I'd appreciate it if you keep your responses in context instead of being vague in "every post".

I'd appreciate not being demanded by you for me to hold your hand with nothing of value given in return.

But according to everyone on here, this is just the flu, and no big deal....

bakerlevi [S] 10 points ago +13 / -3

False dichotomy you troll.

The 'according to everyone here' narrative is that covid-19 is not the population killer hysteria pushed by fake news. That it is a variant of the common cold which the highest risk victims would be the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions.

Not that it is a total hoax and completely harmless.

Shutting the borders from high risk countries STILL SAVED LIVES, hence the justification for doing so.

It's not the flu, fuckhead. I'm so sick of hearing that.

-1
bakerlevi [S] -1 points ago +4 / -5

It is the a common cold, on steroids, panicbot.

covid-19 is a variant of the common cold, which is also a 'corona' family virus.

Try panicking on plebbit.

Its not a regular influenza we are used to, it's a very nasty strain of SARS.

If the GEOTUS saw it necessary to close the border against recommendation from the wokos then I think he had good reason to do so.

3
kjj9 3 points ago +3 / -0

Without the border closures, we would be where Italy is, or higher. With the border closures, our numbers are lagging a few weeks behind, weeks that people needed so that they could see this thing in the west and start taking it seriously.

But closing borders is racist!

Pedeville 1 point ago +2 / -1

But this isnt normal cocid-19, this was engineered in a Chinese lab.

MakeLiberalsCryAgain 1 point ago +4 / -3

Obviously, you're an idiot because you just said it's the flu and a common cold. Pro tip: it can't be both.

Coronaviruses are just a family of viruses. Some cause minor symptoms, and others can cause death. It depends on the strain. Obviously, COVID-19 is not one of the relatively harmless versions.

I may just go back to Reddit because the posts I'm reading on here lead me to believe that a lot you really are fucking morons (no offense to those who aren't). Quit perpetuating the myth that Trump voters are uneducated. I know it's hard; you might actually have to think for yourselves instead of parroting what you see on here.

RosieODonald 2 points ago +4 / -2

Don't go man, you have to be a part of the debate.

This is part of the cost (and value) of having a pair of balls to seek information outside of CNN. There's just no other way.

MakeLiberalsCryAgain 4 points ago +4 / -0

I will stick around =) I am definitely on "our" side most of the time. I don't think people should go crazy and panic, but I don't think we should just blow it off, either. If this does turn out to be no big deal in the end, that's great. I'm not super concerned about catching this, but I have elderly family that I want to protect.

bakerlevi [S] -1 points ago +1 / -2

Moron, common cold and CV-19 are both Corona viruses.

You suck at gaslighting and dividing.

Go back to plebbit, peon.

I'm not doing your research for you. Like I said, coronavirus is just a general term. It depends on the strain. Comparing COVID-19 to the common cold is idiotic. Use your brain; that's why you have it.

bakerlevi [S] -2 points ago +1 / -3

I'm not doing your research for you.

Comparing covid-w9 to the common cold is idiotic

Not an argument.

The common cold and cv-19, ARE ALL VARIANTS OF THE SAME VIRUS, called Corona.

Like I said, you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH PROJECTIONBOT

Apparently the GEOTUS took it serious enough. He also didn't want the panic but that was a hard thing to stop.
