Hahaha yeah.  hypocrites. 

That's a powerful link.  
I'd hope that would be a link some would click.  
Very little 'bias'....just a timeline of "who is saying what/when".  

If I were a moderate... I'd appreciate what's in that link.  Hard to argue with date-lined quotes.

Wut?  
Trump may not have been perfect in this...but where has he committed "atrocities"?  & how does he have record poll #'s with committing "atrocities"?   
 "Nationalism" the paradigm of the day?   Hardly. 


Nah, it's (Albert) Camus-ian; To a T.  
BigAl, find whatever political points  you need to score in one of the greatest allegorical/existential works in lit.

"The Plague". 

Some gems:  

"The truth is that nothing is less sensational than pestilence, and by reason of their very duration great misfortunes are monotonous."

"The habit of despair is worse than despair itself."

"Can one be a saint without God? That's the problem, in fact the only problem, I'm up against today."

"What we learn in time of pestilence: that there are more things to admire in men than to despise."

Trump supporters:  He did nothing wrong!!
Trump haters:  This is all his fault!!
Truth:  Somewhere in the middle.  From a practical standpoint there are many may many types of .gov around the globe from the most liberal to the most conservative and all are being affected by this.  But can we all STFU about who's fault this is or is not for awhile?  The cards will fall where they may in the years to come.  I mean we're in the middle of a pandemic crying out loud.  Both sides have plenty of ammo to throw each other under the bus this fall.  I just want life to go back to some portion of normal.

Yeah I have read it on two occasions and it has nothing to do with the point what I was making. 
But since you asked I think Camus was dead on with the Prefect and the president.  You, perhaps Joseph Grand.  Personally I identify with Rambert and this portion of the forum is Oran.

Trump is handling this crisis real time.  Giving daily briefings while a corrupt media attack him and play gotcha.  And the sheep follow.

Problem is ... they are hypocrites.  We have the timelines.  They attacked him for the travel ban.  They attacked him for the malaria medicine.  They attack everything. 

Yet the dem leadership offers nothing.  
The sheep may overlook the Russian hoax, the Obama spying, the impeachment hoax. They may overlook Weinstein and Epstein and Biden ... while attacking Trump or create fake Kavanaugh shit.  

They can’t run or hide from the truth.

Evolution of media's anti-Trump hydroxychloroquine spin would leave even Darwin dizzy:  

1) Trump giving Americans false hope.2) Trump peddling snake oil.3) Trump made couple drink fish tank cleaner.4) Hydroxychloroquine might, maybe, be helpful.5) Trump is in it for money.

The impeachment was real, he was impeached, nothing fake about that.  You can argue whether you agree with it or not but it happened.

The impeachment was real ... as was the acquittal.

Partisan bullshit.  Let’s see the “whistleblower” and IG transcripts.  All bullshit.  More of the same ... insurance that was started by the corrupt Obama administration before the election.  

OJ’s acquittal was real too.

The impeachment was rejected because the charges were not impeachable.  I don't really see how anyone can claim that there was anything real about it other than all the democrats voted to do it despite there being no substance to it.
