In fact, Trump was taking the virus seriously while the Dems were focused on impeachment and the MSM was more concerned about 'xenophobia'.

“Despite its relatively meager financial rewards, journalism remains an appealing profession for a certain type of person. Typically, this is because journalists have a lot of power. This is not that power to build people up, but the power to take people down. Journalism is most successful when it humiliates, and the power to humiliate is what draws people to the field.

Anyone who has spent time with journalists- and is not one himself- can see that they are often cruel people who take a fairly unconcealed pleasure in inflicting emotional pain. I see this type in the confinement center; only here they are called sociopaths. In journalism, envy and resentment become job assets because they fuel the journalist’s ambition and drive. So journalists, like community organizers, have their own set of talents. They too are part of the resentment industry.”

This is so perfectly stated.

[Journalists] are the kids in school who were the jerks, the tattletales and the busybodies. [They] think everything is [their] business, and if you choose not to disclose something that is none of their business, then you've got "something to hide," and you're part of a "cover up"!

To [them], the power to "get someone in trouble" is the most delicious thing on earth.

This fact angers me. Instead of focusing on what's important, the anti-American media and the anti-American DemocRats instead focuses on the sham impeachment. Imagine: had we have much more advanced warning to the public at large for the potential outbreak, we would have much more support for early counter-measures like shutting down travel to China and have much more time to prepare supply and money stockpiles at home and for our small business.

In addition to China, I am also blaming the Democrats and their media allies for this crisis we are experiencing. May they suffer greatly for their crimes.

PurestEvil 5 points ago +5 / -0

It's not anti-American. It's anti-common sense, anti-Western Civilization, anti-liberty, anti-individualism. But they are also pro something - so they either throw the rocks at you, or they help building the catapults that will. That's in essence socialism, government power, aristocracy as a whole.

Socialism is nothing but a big "I know better than you what to do with YOUR resources and liberties and I have NO restraints from taking them - actually it makes me even feel good."

Being a "journalist" (=ideological propagandist) is essentially equal to being a noble, an aristocrat who can shape the views of the masses and/or rail them up. It is as close to being in power as it gets without being part of the government. They are the channels, invokers of an ideology that runs rampant in society and politics. They harness the powers of the collective flow of thoughts - which btw is fueled by the Marxist leaning education systems. You can see that hive mind spilling out on social media as well.

So in case someone try to frame these mainstream media as a product of a (relatively) free market - they really are not. They are tapping into something that exists because governments create it - and that for many decades.

The media in America has become an enemy of the American people. That's a problem that needs to be fixed. Once this virus situation has been dealt with I suggest addressing it.

WishdoctorsSong 30 points ago +30 / -0

In a way, the China virus is addressing it twofold. First, the daily press conferences and general panic combined with sitting at home are getting more people to sit down and watch live, unfiltered Trump, and watch the media be assholes. The media is screwing themselves on this. Second, once we get through the worst of this situation and reckoning comes for China, expect to see the Chinese money funding not just the news but also Hollywood dry up.

cancel our debt to the chinese

I get it but this would be hardcore unconstitutional.

The 18th-century document spells out that when we pledge to repay a debt, this shall not be questioned. If Trump can get China to AGREE the debt is canceled, that's different. Simply canceling it ourselves is off the table.

Think about it. If we did this once to China, we'd never be able to borrow again from any nation because they would expect we could hose them too. Once you lie to someone, they never fully trust you again, and a whole bunch of other people who find out about it also don't trust you.

Human nature.

AndrewLB 7 points ago +7 / -0

China owes the United States approximately the same amount as we have borrowed from them. This doesn't factor in paying for this virus outbreak.

American investors financed in 1913 a vast railroad network build in the Republic of China. (or was it Empire of China back then?). They skunked the American bond holders claiming "we're not that country anymore" since they had a civil war iirc. That debt would amount to over $1 trillion today.

Then a few decades later we helped them finance WW2 and some other war i can't recall the name of. That debt consisted of like $20 million in bonds worth around $1 trillion today, and $500 million owed to the US Government which wasn't bonds so it didn't have gains like they did, but it would still amount to close to $3 trillion.

Cyer6 2 points ago +3 / -1

They were being annihilated by the Japanese by the thousands. If we hadn't entered the war when we had, China would've been lost just like much of Europe to Nazi Germany. Much of the world owes America a debt they can never repay.

Unknown. But that is one good thing about owing them over a trillion.

Countries are reluctant to attack militarily other countries that owe them that much money. They would be forcing us to spend money on killing them that we could instead be repaying to them.

He didn't do his xenophobic overreaction EARLY enough!!! REEEEEEE

I remember when, in the middle of a crisis, the news media wouldn't attack the president or the admin while they're fighting it. Because stupid and self-defeating.

The old days are gone. You simply must regard the news media as the enemy of the people, since they clearly are. They hate us, revile us, and hold us in utmost contempt. They view us as stupid feeders who exist to buy their sponsors' products, believe the pablum we're spoonfed, and shut up about its being warmed-over slop.

CQVFEFE 5 points ago +7 / -2

I get Trump's persuasion play but IMHO "Chinese Virus" is a term too broad and generic, given that many, many large-scale virus epidemics originate in China. I hear "Chinese Virus", I think "Which one??"

I see nothing wrong with being specific and calling it by its name that all the journalists on TV were calling it for weeks when it first broke, until they got the 4 am mockingbird memo ordering them to knock it off.

WUHAN VIRUS

"WUHAN" sounds way more Chinese, and thus more appropriately foreign, than the word "Chinese".

There's us. And there's them. Two different peoples, separated by spoken and written language, culture, menu (!), and thousands of miles of open ocean. And that's a good thing, not a bad thing.

We didn't start this shit. But we'll end it.

Limiting travel from rogue states like Iran on day one showed exactly why President Trump made the right decision and every liberal protestor out there fighting against the so called "Muslim" ban are now quarantined from working,going to school, and living their lives under martial law. Trump knew what was coming and they fought him every inch of the way. Iran is one of the worst countries infected because of their close ties with China. Only one person in government who had the county's best interest and safety in mind. It wasn't Pelosi,Clinton,Bernie,or the FBI and all the intelligence agencies. It was Trump who wanted to guard our borders and limit our exposure.

Trump has taken the virus seriously from the start. He did his best to not overreact In the beginning because he didn’t want to cause national chaos. So the MSM swooped in and caused the chaos for him which lead to people hoarding supplies. Once people were scared enough they then flipped it all on Trump and said, “Look! He doesn’t care! He isn’t doing enough!” When in reality not much could be done besides tell people to take preventative measures themselves until a vaccine could be made and distributed. Now he’s almost forced to act swiftly because people are scared. So far I think he’s handled this very well, and I’m confident the country will bounce back and then look back and say “We really overreacted here.”

Back from all manner of trenches, in-person, redditfaggotry and various internets and I can confidently report:

If you want LIGHT THEM UP in a fucking TDS RAGEQUIT you interrupt them every time they try and establish the fake retro-fitted narrative that somehow Trump 'wasn't prepared' and 'bungles' happen.

Then, since we don't play the defense game you start listing all the things the USA did as fast or faster than anyone else, how much they've done (Its astonishing)

Oh, if you want to EXPLODE THEIR GODDAMN MINDS ask what Congress was doing for well over a month when they pretend they wanted the preparation (they were doing a fake impeachment trial).

And then just mention the USA and indeed North America has among the LOWEST DEATH RATES.

But basically just stop them from establishing their fake narrative and they will lose their goddamn minds. They are absolutely COUNTING ON THIS as their last fucking stand, this is bigger than impeachment to them.. they NEED THIS and if you do anything to mitigate them they just implode.

If you have been doing this I'm sure you're getting the same results and if you have not yet wrecked them with this reminder: USA did fantastic early job and hence the success.

See what happens. It's usually just a blowup!

Honestly I think he should call it Wuhan Virus, not China Virus. It’s more accurate and easier to defend as most modern viruses have been named for their specific outbreak location.

More importantly though it’s more likely to be used by people on both sides of the aisle and gives basically the same effect from more Americans.

Either way I lol every time he says it though

I get the political shade throwing. I just feel like Wuhan Virus still makes it pretty clear you’re directly linking it to China, but in a way that centrists cannot be in the least be swayed by the “Is Raycist!” Argument.

Any attempt to make that argument could be met with a battery of numerous recently discovered diseases and immediately shut down while still throwing that shade. To defend China Virus you have to go back to the early 1900s.

To me the collective US/world calling it Wuhan Virus is more detrimental for China than us and the Pres calling it China Virus, no?
