Coronavirus Consequences Coming into View
American Greatness ^ | April 2 | Conrad Black

Posted on 04/05/2020 7:12:05 PM PDT by daydreamer

Democrats seeking electoral advantage from this crisis are in an untenable position. Even in suboptimal circumstances, it is hard to see where any case can be made for mismanagement by the administration.

The great Conrad Black says, “The pro-Trump media, outnumbered but victorious, will indeed have the effrontery to defend the president and join with the 60 percent of Americans who think that he has generally led well in this struggle against the coronavirus, despite an overly optimistic launch. . . “ I agree!

President Trump can be a little salty at his rallies, but ever since this crisis has started, he has been VERY Presidential.

Oh but don't you think for one second they won't try to do so, even if it means burnning their entire credibility package again.

They pushed the "Russia, Russia, Russia" story for almost three years non-stop, then dumped it in the memory hole without a second glance. No apology, no acknowledgement that they were making it up and pushing a completely false story.

They'll do it again with the "Coronavirus is Trump's fault" virtual-reality story too.

The script for this was originally written in mid-1980s, when Larry Kramer and the Gay Men's Health Crisis bullied the MSM into pushing the narrative that AIDS was caused by Ronald Reagan, basically because he didn't enact the gay agenda during his Presidency.

I won't go into the reasons why they did this, and it didn't have any effect on public opinion of Reagan in the long run, but it didn't hurt those who were promoting it either and got them lots of free publicity and a high position on the victimhood totem pole.

Reading up on CB, apparently someone in the DOJ had a hard on for him.

Parts of his convictions was over turned by SCOTUS.

He was pardoned by POTUS Trump in 2019 and he was released from prison and went back to Canada.

"These complaints have been effectively answered by the swift development of immediate testing devices that can be administered anywhere by almost anyone and produce evaluations within 15 minutes."

If you are not part of the elite you still have to get a note from your mom to get tested.

If anybody knows of a walk-in test site, please let me know.

You actually have to click through to the article, and then read it (something that I for one firmly avoid in most cases) to get this profound insight:

“By the time this horrible virus has ravaged the underdeveloped world—which is completely unprepared to deal with it and where the danger of horrific human devastation is the fear that dare not speak its name—the complacent support of the corrupt leadership of the United Nations and its agencies by African and Asian states may have abated.”

This CCP bioweapon reached India late, but it’s there now. 1.3 billion people live in that country, most of them in conditions that would make even the poorest Americans look like Rockefellers. Worse, their medical system is vastly overmached at the best of times. Same for Africa: case rates are low now, probably mostly due to lack of reporting and testing, but the world will very shortly see what this CCP Bioweapon does to an unprotected population with rudimentary health care.

I don’t think that India’s people will soon forgive the CCP for the deaths and maiming of so many of their countrymen that is likely about to descend on them.

The blame game will be accompanied by “Monday morning quarterbacking” by the democrats, who will insist that a democrat president would have done better, and will do better if elected in November.

Make up your mind. Yes and he was pardoned. So what is your point? He is enviable for a lot of talents, his writing skills most noteworthy, something lacking in many on this forum. Get a grip on reality.

You took offense somehow.

It was a too subtle joke apparently.

Chill OUT.

Magic mushrooms were widely abused in the United States during 1960s when LSD was very popular. However, magic mushroom is very popular in rave parties and college parties even today.

I’ve been observing the progressive left on social media and they’re losing their S**T. They’re pissed at Sanders and AOC.

They’re getting a taste on how the GOP rank-and-file felt when their leadership screwed them 2010-2015.

“Isn’t CB a felon, or something? ;-)”

Are you planning to revoke his First Amendment rights?

Besides I like him.
