Republicans Blocked Funding For Pandemic Response

[Oldestyle]

did he have control over making an earlier virus response? Or was he NOT responsible blaming everyone but himself?

You are dodging the question. I am shocked, SHOCKED I SAY!

Specifically, how is President Trump responsible for the COVID-19?

NOWHERE did I say he was responsible for the virus Just the dimwits response to it which cost 1000's of lives

Who cost more lives...Trump or

When did the GOP ever refuse to fund security for Benghazi? The person that was in charge of security for Libya testified before Congressional investigators that funding was never an issue in Libya and that the Clinton led State Department felt they had adequate security there! Care to try again?

Playing dumb again?

Simple question, Synthaholic! You claim the GOP refused to fund security for Benghazi? Show where funding was EVER the issue with security in Libya!

Now STFU.

God, you're an idiot! I know that the Democrats TRIED to blame budget cuts on the deaths of our four State Department personnel but that narrative was blown to smithereens when the woman in charge of security for Libya testified that funding was never an issue and that the Clinton State Department STILL thought security levels in Libya were sufficient! So what do YOU do? You go back and cite one of the attempts by a compliant media outlet (the Huffington Post) to sell that story?

"WASHINGTON State Department officials said Wednesday that security levels at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, were adequate for the threat level on the anniversary of 9/11 but that the compound was overrun by an "unprecedented attack" by dozens of heavily armed extremists.


The officials testified before an election-season congressional hearing on accusations of security failures at the consulate that led or contributed to the deaths of the Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. The officials said the number of U.S. and local security guards at the compound was consistent with what had been requested by the post.

"We had the correct number of assets in Benghazi at the time of 9/11," said Charlene Lamb, the deputy secretary of state for diplomatic security in charge of protecting American embassies and consulates around the world."

Note to leftists:

Refusing to give money to Democrat special interest groups is not "refusing to fund protective equipment for the next pandemic".

The states are special interest groups?

Giving emergency funding to the States is a job of the Federal government.

Giving taxpayer money to illegals is not.

Your blob bailed out the LA Lakers. I’d rather give money to illegals

Of course you would. You're a moron.

Your thinking a bunch of millionaires need federal bailout monies is pretty idiotic

daveman has 40 years of Republican programming. He stopped thinking a long time ago. Now he just reacts.

...says the moron mindlessly repeating Communist Chinese propaganda.

Hey, remember how I said the Democrats running NOLA and Louisiana were incompetent and let Mardis Gras go on and got a lot of people sick and dead?

Mardis Gras was February 25th. Trump declared a national health emergency on January 31st.

Democrats fucked up and got people killed.

Now perhaps you should shut the fuck up.

Coronavirus: Pastor who decried 'hysteria' dies after attending Mardi Gras

A preacher who said coronavirus was overhyped has died after catching the virus at Mardi Gras.

www.bbc.com

Oh you mean the same Mardis Gras the New Orleans mayor and the Louisiana governor didn't shut down, despite knowing it would mean a drastic increase in coronavirus transmission?

Yes, I know they blamed Trump for their incompetence. No one believes that but retards.

You know -- like you.

Why would the Governor and Mayor know that?

Mardi Gras was on February 25.

Here's Trump on the 25th:
Feb. 25

At a news conference in India, Trump says that the coronavirus is “well under control” and that there are “very few people with it.”

That day, his top economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, tells CNBC that the U.S. has “contained” the coronavirus and that the outbreak is unlikely to be an “economic tragedy.”




When are you going to learn not to debate facts with me, REMF?

That term is not allowed for use by pussy civilians who refused to serve their country.

And deploying to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, UAE, Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar, and Afghanistan is hardly being rear echelon.

You'd know that if you weren't too big a pussy to enlist. Run along now, boy.

Nice deflection to your poutrage instead of addressing the facts in my post. As usual.

Trump declared a national health emergency on January 31st, weeks before Mardis Gras.

And illegals are criminals. Only leftists like to reward criminals. It's because leftists hate normal people.

What is the statutory penalty for being in the United States illegally? Show us your big brain.

It's illegal. That makes illegals criminals.

Well, yeah.....
Congressional Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell in the Senate and House Speaker John Boehner, leveraged the debt ceiling — a limit on the government’s borrowing ability that had to be raised — to insist that the Obama administration accept federal spending curbs. The compromise, codified in the 2011 Budget Control Act, required a bipartisan “super committee” to find additional ways to reduce the deficit, or else it would trigger automatic across-the-board cuts known as “sequestration.”

How Tea Party Budget Battles Left the National Emergency Medical Stockpile Unprepared for Coronavirus

Fiscal restraints imposed by Republicans in Congress in the early years of the Obama administration left the U.S. less prepared to respond to the coronavirus pandemic today.

www.propublica.org

This wan't just a republican thing, it was both parties

One side said "we want to cut pandemic/CDC spending" It wasn't the Democrats.

They had constraints, it was a group effort from the bipartisan committee

In compromises, each side proposes what they wish to cut. Republicans chose pandemic readiness as the item they wanted to sacrifice. Maybe the Democrats sacrificed after-school lunches - I don’t know. But Republicans own this lack of readiness. They had complete control for the first 2 years and did nothing.

oh, btw - the wall ain’t built, either.

Oh BS....it was from both parties no matter how much you spin, Synth.

You mean the buck never stops at Trumps door?? Like he said""I'm not responsible""

POTUS cant be responsible for what he has no control over,,,
in fact no one can,,,

Do you want me to find Trump's tweet where he assured everyone that he had it under control?

has nothing to do with what I said,,,

do try and keep up,,,

You said Trump had no control over it.
Trump said he had control over it.

Do try to keep up.

thats two different things,,,and I thought trump lied all the time??
so now you believe him??

They are not two different things. He said he had the virus under control. Why are you contradicting your Dear Leader?

WHO haunted by January tweet saying China found no human transmission of coronavirus

The World Health Organization (WHO) is now haunted by a tweet it sent earlier this year when it cited Chinese health officials who claimed there had been no human transmissions of the novel coronavirus within the country yet.

The Jan. 14 tweet came less than two months before WHO declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic.

"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China," the organization had said.

It also relied on information from Chinese health authorities who have been accused of obscuring facts and figures during the course of the outbreak.

[OKTexas]

Earlier this month he said he had “inherited a broken system.” He added: “They also gave us empty cupboards. The cupboard was bare … So we took over a stockpile with a cupboard that was bare.”

In fact, Mr Obama’s efforts to build up the stockpile and prepare for the next outbreak were stymied by a Republican-controlled House of Representatives that was heavily influenced by Tea Party-affiliated politicians elected on promises of cutting back government spending.


Speaking in 2014, Mr Obama argued it was necessary to set up a “public health infrastructure that we need to deal with potential outbreaks in the future.”

So you're saying your mulatto messiah couldn't get it done in 8 years, but you cry about Trump not getting it done in less than 3. GOT IT!!!! You commies just crack me up. ROFLMAO
