But you posted an article from the Wacko and TDS Washington Post, which I could not access because I do not subscribe that YOU SAY that Intelligence Officials had this information before Trump. Hence your posts argue with themselves. Why am I not surprised?
Cuomo is who I am going to follow right now!!! A real leader!!!

I would like to reduce the power of government. I am a conservative, Trump is too far to the left for me, but I admire his courage in facing the Democrats, who in my mind are fascists.
It is you who wants to increase the power of government.. You are the authoritarian.

I can appreciate real conservatives who genuinely care about the country. They are unfortunately too few and far between these days since most have sold out to a guy who has given more money to the Clintons, Chuck Schumer and other prominent Dems than anyone. He's not a Republican and is simply piggybacking on the Republican party to get to where he wants to be. To Trump, everyone is either a roadblock or a stepping stone, and just as he's done to everyone he's ever done business with - he will eventually lead the Republican party off of a political cliff.
As for your comment about Dems being fascists -
These are the 14 core characteristics of fascism by Dr. Lawrence Britt. Most of them are directly in sync with Trump's actions. So at the end of the day, there's only one side that is flirting with fascism.
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread
domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

The cops hate DeBlasio. He’s a sniffling little worm. Blames everyone else for the problems he’s created.
“I am going to follow”...
That’s stupid in itself but go ahead if that makes you feel good. I don’t “follow” anyone. These politicians are all scum.
I guess if Joe was my nominee I would be looking for someone else too.

As far as the opinions of psychologists are concerned, they are all over the ballpark. Objectively, the characteristics of fascist governments are:
1) a high degree of government control over a country (that's what you want).
2) operation of the non public sector by government controlled and industries or entities (in China's case who is transmogrifying to communism it's the PLA or government officials and cronies);
3) forcing large numbers of the population to work at low or no wages (that's the classic Democratic strategy).
4) bringing in workers from foreign countries to work at slave level wages (in the Nazi case, apart from the Jews, the French, the Ukrainians, the Poles and the Scandinavians.)
5) control of the media and the schools (you achieved the control of the schools years ago).
6) remember the father of fascism: Mussolini, was a Communist, praised by Lenin, before he saw an opportunity to appeal to the masses with fascism.
7) Again, China is a fascist state. The Democrats are allied with the Chinese elite: travel ban, bad, tariffs bad, Chinese virus, racist, racist, racist.
8) In the Nazi case, rabid jew hatred: many if not most Democrats hate the Jews in general and they hate the Israeli State in particular.
Can we say that Nazis, Socialist and Communists are authoritarians?
Can we say that those who want to dramatically decrease the size of government are not authoritarians?

liberals are EVERYTHING that they always accuse Trump, Trump Supporters, and the GOP of being. Full of ignorance, intolerance, and insufferableness.
Liberals love race identity politics and instilling a victim mentality in blacks, women, and Latins in order to use them as mere pawns on the political chessboard.
LIBERALS are the racists.
LIBERALS are the sexists.
LIBERALS are the fascists.
LIBERALS are the globalist.
LIBERALS are the socialists.
LIBERALS are the propagandists.
LIBERALS are the fuking DOMESTIC TERRORISTS.
Fuk liberals and fuk liberalism.
You could say this yes, with the obvious caveat that on Socialists, you're referring to actual socialists such as what one might find in Cuba, Venezuela and a few other places, and not Democratic socialists such as what a majority of Europe is democratically governed by.
The Scandinavian countries are more business friendly than we are: Europe is the Epicenter of Chinese Virus deaths. Germany and France are trust fund kids. Italy is pathetic. Their leader urged his citizens to hug a Chinese person. Incidentally Italy, sticking to their fascist heritage, have massive numbers of Chinese working in sweat shops. https://www.westernjournal.com/ital...campaign-weeks-later-entire-country-lockdown/
Hungary, who learned from conquered by leftists, and is now a capitalist country closed off their borders long ago, something the Democrats fought tooth and nail against. https://tradingeconomics.com/hungary/coronavirus-deaths Unlike the rest of Europe their deaths from Corona Virus is low.
Close the borders; restrict travel. What Democrat proposed that.
Really Mikey<???let me know what country with 350 MILLION has provided for its citizens better.
BOTH MEDICAL & ECONOMICALLY!
This administration inherited antiquated, systems, or ones that were never designed for a pandemic this size.
For you and dems to politicize this is ludicrous
Still waiting for Mike to;
tell us his plan to stop the virus;
identify the Democrat,who in the midst of the impeachment fiasco, proposed a plan.
They are real good at counting the dead though. But, don't ask for their help burying them. They are too busy cheering for more deaths.
Dude was warned repeatedly for months and this narcissistic POS put himself of course before the American people. Now he and his supporters are looking for someone to blame. I swear every since this narcissistic POS got to the white house it has been drama after drama. It's literally always something with this clown. I'm just so sick of him and people who would rather defend him than know the truth.
His doctor he has at his own press conferences corrects him right at the podium. It's ridiculous. He makes absurd statements that puts Americans at risk.
He spent 7 weeks telling us it was the flu and his followers were out there spreading his bullshit message. Now we see the result ....and they use the term "fake news"? Huh
We are still way lower in death counts than other Western countries. Name the Democrats who warned him.
Your need to defend Donald Trump far surpasses your need for the truth. His own intelligence agencies warned him. Read the Fox link....
https://fox40.com/news/political-co...-february-as-he-dismissed-coronavirus-threat/
The money quote: "The intelligence reports did not predict when the virus might hit the US or recommend steps that should be taken in response, the source said. The reports tracked the spread of the virus in China and then other countries, and warned that Chinese officials were minimizing the impact." Notice that the officials from the incompetent Intelligence agencies did not identify themselves in these ex post facto CYA intelligence reports.
I repeat name the Democrats who came out to propose solutions to this largely insolvable problem with solutions. As I have posted several times the CDC stated on January 17 that the virus posed a low risk to the American public.
Your ignorance is astounding.
No CD name the people who warned him. You’re so full of sh-t! Keep towing your party line & we will enjoy a nice victory in November.
We are now in a wartime atmosphere, and instead of everyone pulling together, we get hateful ignorant rantings by uninformed people like this. " He was warned repeatedly for months"- about what and by whom? The Chinese government lied about the virus and how infectious it was, punished their doctors for trying to tell the truth, and waited almost a month before even telling the WHO that there was a problem and then wouldn't let them or the CDC into the country. The disaster is on the Chinese, and yet we have people worried about calling it the Chinese virus- small closed minds.
The full conference does not support your ghoulish lies.
Q Mr. President, about the possible therapies yesterday, Mr. President, you said that they were for, quote, “immediate delivery.” Immediate. We heard it from doc- —
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, well, we were ordering — yes, we have millions of units ordered. Bayer is one of the companies, as you know. A big company. A very big, very great company. Millions of units are ordered, and we’re going to see what happens. We’re going to be talking to the governors about it, and the FDA is working on it right now.
The advantage is that it has been prescribed for a totally different problem, but it has been described [sic] for many years, and everybody knows the levels of — the negatives and the positives. But I will say that I am a man that comes from a very positive school when it comes to, in particular, one of these drugs. And we’ll see how it works out, Peter.
I’m not — I’m not saying it will, but I think that people may be surprised. By the way, that would be a game changer. But we’re going to know very soon. But — but we have ordered millions of units. It’s being ordered from Bayer, and there is another couple of companies also that do it.
Q For clarity, Dr. Fauci said there is no magic drug for coronavirus right now, which you would agree. I guess, on this issue then —
THE PRESIDENT: Well, you know, I think we only disagree a little bit.
Q — so let me just ask, though: Is it possible that — sorry.
THE PRESIDENT: I disagree. Maybe and maybe not. Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t. We have to see. We’re going to know. We’re going to know soon.
Q Is it possible — it possible that your impulse to put a positive spin on things may be giving Americans a false sense of —
THE PRESIDENT: No, I don’t think so.
Q — hope, and misrepresenting the preparedness right now?
THE PRESIDENT: No. No, I don’t think so. I think that — I think it’s gotten —
Q The ship is not yet ready to sail. The not-yet-approved drug
THE PRESIDENT: Such a lovely question. Look, it may work and it may not work. And I agree with the doctor, what he said: It may work, it may not work. I feel good about it. That’s all it is. Just a feeling. You know, I’m a smart guy. I feel good about it. And we’re going to see. You’re going to see soon enough. And we have certainly some very big samples of people, if you look at the people. You have a lot of people that are in big trouble. And this is not a drug that — obviously, I think I can speak for a lot of — from a lot of experience, because it’s been out there for over 20 years. So it’s not a drug that you have a huge amount of danger with. It’s not like a brand-new drug that’s been just created that may have an unbelievable monumental effect, like kill you.
We’re going to know very soon. And I can tell you the FDA is working very hard to get it out. Right now, in terms of malaria, if you wanted, you can have a prescription. You get a prescription. And by the way — and it’s very effective. It works.
I have a feeling you may — and I’m not being overly optimistic or pessimistic. I sure as hell think we ought to give it a try. I mean, there’s been some interesting things happened and some good — very good things. Let’s see what happens. We have nothing to lose. You know the expression: What the hell do you have to lose? Okay?
Q So what to do you say to — the units that were ordered — the units that were ordered.
THE PRESIDENT: John, go ahead.
Q I’ll just follow up. Nearly 200 dead. What do you say to Americans who are scared, though? I guess, nearly 200 dead; 14,000 who are sick; millions, as you witness, who are scared right now. What do you say to Americans who are watching you right now who are scared?
THE PRESIDENT: I say that you’re a terrible reporter. That’s what I say.
Go ahead.
Q Mr. President, the units that were just declared —
THE PRESIDENT: I think it’s a very nasty question, and I think it’s a very bad signal that you’re putting out to the American people. The American people are looking for answers and they’re looking for hope. And you’re doing sensationalism, and the same with NBC and “Con-cast.” I don’t call it — I don’t call it “Comcast,” I call it “Con-cast.”
Let me just — for who you work — let me just tell you something: That’s really bad reporting, and you ought to get back to reporting instead of sensationalism. Let’s see if it works. It might and it might not. I happen to feel good about it, but who knows. I’ve been right a lot. Let’s see what happens.
John?
Q Can I get back to science and the logistics here?
THE PRESIDENT: You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Q The units that were ordered, are they for clinical trials or are they for distribution to the general patient population?
THE PRESIDENT: We are going to — as I understand it, we are going to be taking samples in New York. Governor Cuomo very much is interested in this drug. And they are going to work on it also, after they get a certain approval. We’re waiting for one final approval from the FDA. We’ll see what happens.
But we’ll use it on people that are not doing great, or even at the beginning of not feeling well.
Q So this would sort of fall under the modified auspice —
THE PRESIDENT: And, John, what do we have to lose?
Q So this would sort of —
THE PRESIDENT: Wait, John — it’s been out there for so long. We hear good things. Let’s see. Maybe it works and maybe it doesn’t.
Q I understand all of that. I’m just thinking the application here. So that would be under, sort of, a modified compassionate access?
THE PRESIDENT: We’re doing that, I guess. And that’s –that’s what it’s called.
Yes.
Q I would like Dr. Fauci, if you don’t mind, to follow up on what the President is saying. Should Americans have hope in this drug right now? And, sir, I would like to follow up on Peter’s question here. Could you please issue — address Americans in this country who are scared right now? This is a very valid concern that people have.
DR. FAUCI: No, there really isn’t that much of a difference in many respects with what we’re saying. The President feels optimistic about something — his feeling about it.
What I’m saying is that it might — it might be effective. I’m not saying that it isn’t. It might be effective. But as a scientist, as we’re getting it out there, we need to do it in a way as — while we are making it available for people who might want the hope that it might work, you’re also collecting data that will ultimately show that it is truly effective and safe under the conditions of COVID-19. So there really isn’t difference. It’s just a question of how one feels about it.
Q Is there any reason to believe it’s not safe?
DR. FAUCI: Well, certainly as a drug — any drug, John, has some toxicities. The decades of experience that we have with this drug indicate that the toxicities are rare and they are, in many respects, reversible. What we don’t know is when you put it in the context of another disease, whether it is safe.
Fundamentally, I think it probably is going to be safe, but I like to prove things first. So it really is a question of not a lot of difference. It’s the hope that it will work versus proving that it will work. So I don’t see big differences here.
THE PRESIDENT: I agree. I agree.
No, I am not pulling together with a moron or people that follow that Moron. Sorry, and don't care who likes it. He is costing lives and not providing the truth although I am not surprised. He has lied to the American people 17,000 times before this ordeal.
Why? Because you want to lecture me on pulling together in one sentence and in the next talk about the CDC and the Chinese government to justify this racist, horrific rhetoric the president is displaying. I don't appreciate how it affects our chinese american population that did nothing wrong. So, don't talk to me about coming together. I'm not coming together and that's final.
He was warned and it is virtually impossible to give the president an exact time frame or date. His own people told what was happening and he did NOTHING! Still not doing enough imo.
Your need to defend the president far surpasses the need to know the truth.#cuomomyleader
The Chinese government are responsible for this disaster. But you as a Democrat protect them from criticism.
This just proves my point. This president is dangerous and needs to be checked constantly. The last guy he got rid of and if he gets rid of Dr. Fauci he will commit political suicide. So, I am watching for that now....and by the way. Facts aren't something you agree with or not agree with...they are just facts. They aren't disputable. Thanks for proving my point....your need to defend the president far surpasses your need to know the truth.
Name the Democrat. Biden when the travel ban was instituted called him a racist. But, that is the way you guys are. You don't care about the American public, except to count the dead and call those who are defending our country racists.
While you are at it, you can name the Intelligence Officials as well. Name them. Forget about using unnamed sources that post TDS and CYA comments.
And the CDC in January, in an official news release, said that it posed a low risk to the American public.
They proved you are a liar. Dr. Fauci did not say what you said he said. Of course you might not be a liar if you are incapable of reading. That is also a likely possibility. Time to take a break. I am getting tired of tossing pearls of wisdom to the pigs.
I protect Chinese Americans. I am proud to. They contribute to this country like I do. They pay their taxes and contribute to our economy in a vast number of ways. They don't deserve to be bullied by a bunch of ignorant people. Blaming a country is an act that is proof positive there is no leadership right now. It's akin to blaming Muslims for 911 in general. You don't blame an enough group of people for what some specific people did. That's stupid and literally puts lives in jeopardy for no reason.....now if you would excuse me I need to watch my real leader. Gov.Cuomo.
Read my post. I referred to the Chinese government. Where in the US are they governing? But, first, name the Democrat who advanced a plan to deal with this. Then you can identify the areas of the US where the Chinese government is in charge, apart from the Democratic party.
The democrats are not running the executive branch. Someone should find you a calender. His own people are responsible. Not democrats. They lost the election.....so why do you think it is the democrats job? Trump won so it is his responsibility to staff his own intelligence community.
Bullshit!! It's not what leaders do. The virus is here now....and it is time for leadership. Your need to defend nonsense far surpasses your need for the truth. He is putting American lives at risk.
They run the Intelligence Committee that was busy running the Impeachment fiasco. They are free to go to the microphones which Schiff was doing multiple times a day. Cuomo runs New York. How many dead there so far. Is he still pushing for thousands of out of country technical workers to come to New York, or did he pull his lawsuit.
Then you answered your own question....LMAO.....If Dems run the intelligence committee then they warned him. Read the article!!!! They warned him...he did nothing!!! Oh, and it is their job to impeach the president if they find wrongdoing which they did. YOu don't get to break the law because you are president. Very stupid premise.
Your need to defend the president surpasses your need to know the truth.
Back that irrational rant with one fact. Who told him what and when? You can't. What is a fact is that he instituted a China travel ban the last week in January ,and people like you and Biden,the bumbling fool , called it xenophobic hysteria.
You are taking your need to defend nonsense over finding fact and asking me to do your homework. You can easily find the answer to the questions you have. I sent you an article.....if you don't want to read it, don't me. The answer is right in the article.
LMAO Cuomo literally just repeated all the same stuff Trump did and was criticized for.
You can’t make this sh-t up!
You can’t make this sh-t up!
