LOL, Hurricane Katrina!

You are actually comparing how pussy Dubya responded to the biased press and how the current President has and will?

Bush was one of those elitists Republicans who thought it above the office to fight back against the lies of the media. In fact up until the good Lord blessed us with a man who actually is willing to fight for what he believes and against any and all attackers, all Republicans had jelly for spines.

You need to revisit your history, son. Unless that is your goal was/is to spread fear and uncertainty just like any other troll.

So your contribution to the discussion is to do the following:

1. Accuse your interlocutor of bad faith: "unless your goal was/is to spread fear and uncertainty…"

2. Call your interlocutor names: "troll."

3. Condescend to your interlocutor: "son."

4. Resort to "LOL" as though that somehow punctuated an otherwise vapid thought.

I am not actually comparing Trump to Bush, I am comparing Hurricane Katrina to the coronavirus and I am comparing the reaction of the establishment media to hurricane Katrina and the coronavirus. History (which you need to revisit, son) tells us what I have been saying for weeks on these threads, the Republicans and the president have got to get in front of the story and be seen to be dealing with it effectively because it is the greatest threat to the reelection of Donald Trump.

Already the president is getting pounded by the establishment media. He has left himself open to a stab in the back from Mitt Romney. He has downplayed the crash in the stock market and left himself vulnerable to accusations that he misunderstands the situation. His first claim to reelection is the state of the economy and that is going south. He either gets in front of the story or be forced on the defensive. Elections, like wars, are won on the offensive and lost on the defensive. All of this was predictable, I predicted it for example, and so unnecessary. It is not too late but the president has got to move.

Complacency and underestimation of your enemy is the sure road to political defeat. Get your head out of your myopic conservative bubble.

Note: my injunction for you to pull your head out of your myopic conservative bubble was not the initial ad hominem in this discussion, you did that in your first reply to me and opened the door. You're ad hominem thereafter, cataloged above, only illustrates the shallowness of your posts.
