You do know Biden’s own chief of staff admitted to getting everything wrong with H1N1. If that would have been as lethal as Covid we would have lost millions. 475 children did die from H1N1 by the way. Hardly any children die from Covid.
Opinion | The Obama-Biden Virus Response
If H1N1 had proved as deadly as Covid-19, it could have killed nearly two million.

The Ebola example is designed to divert attention from a more relevant comparison: the H1N1 swine-flu outbreak of 2009-10. Democrats don’t like to talk about H1N1, because it didn’t go well. If it had been as deadly as Covid-19, the toll would have been catastrophic. The history is a powerful reminder that governments can’t stop a virus—although they can make epidemics worse.
Before Covid-19, Democrats were willing to admit they’d dodged a bullet. Former Biden chief of staff Ron Klain said at Texas A&M in 2019: “We did every possible thing wrong. Sixty million Americans got H1N1 in that period of time, and it is just purely a fortuity that this isn’t one of the great mass-casualty events in American history. [It] had nothing to do with us doing anything right; just had to do with luck. If anyone thinks that can’t happen again, they don’t have to go back to 1918. Just go back to 2009, 2010. Imagine a virus with a different lethality, and you can just do the math.”
FiveThirtyEight are also just displaying the polls and assessing their historical accuracy based on how they fared in the past. Is it clear now ?
Not true. Those were 3 very minor epidemics. How many people did all 3 combined kill? Very very few.
The Obama administration didn't cooperate with Trump AT ALL during the transition period. In fact they spied on the Trump team during the transition and in his first year in office. That will be proven when the Durham Investigation is complete and comes out, probably in September or October. People will be shocked at what that investigation will reveal. People like Comey, McCabe and Brennan, as well as others who worked for the Obama administration could well be indicted.
Trump is the first president to get tough on China. I watch FOX, CNN and MSNBC and I have never heard of Trump letting the maintenance contract expire on ventilators nor sending tons of donated PPE to China. #Fake News.
If those things were true don't you think the Dems would have mentioned it like 200 times at their convention last week? But no one brought it up even a single time.
The reason Joe is the last person Trump wanted to see in this race is he is the mirror image of Trump. He's a centrist who was tough on crime. He's gaff prone and its acceptable. Where Trump is charismatic Biden is compassionate. A true ying-yang argument.
Pro Tip for the MAGA crowd, stop lowering the bar for Joe. Every time you make him seem like an invalid he has to do very little to be impressive. Its similar to Trump. Dems spend so much time saying how horrible he is with facts that if he mixes in the smallest amount of truth its considered a big deal.
We should all hold the bar higher for both of these.
This race is going to be super tight. I get that some of your friends preferred Warren but the black greek orgs are a major factor, the HBCU network is a major factor and Kamala can leverage both.
This should be fun.
Some good points. I believe Joe will be exposed in the debates. He’s definitely lost a step. Agree should be fun.
Bruh...have you read a Trump transcript? He's not what he was either. Its gonna be a battle of the dotards.
I googled it and you are wrong!! Here's what the research found:
The ad says that “Trump … shipped 17 tons of American masks and medical supplies. Our masks and supplies.” The impression left by the ad is that these were U.S. government goods, shipped on Trump’s order.
But these were actually donations by private charities and public companies for Project HOPE, an international health-care organization that has been operating in Wuhan for a quarter-century and helped establish a nursing school there. Usually, donors to Project HOPE arrange for charter aircraft to take their donations overseas.
So all that equipment was sent to China on 2/7 by charitable and humanitarian organizations and not from the U.S. stockpile.
So Trump DID NOT send any American equipment to China as you claim. That's why it wasn't brought up at the DNC last week. #Facts.
Next time YOU do a little research before you post some nonsense.
They WERE NOT sent by Trump. Trump had nothing to do with it. They were sent by Project HOPE and the aircrafts were provided by Secretary of State Pompeo. It was strictly a humanitarian mission by a private organization. Project HOPE did not have the aircraft to fly all this equipment to Wuhan. So the U.S. provided the aircraft on what was clearly a humanitarian mission paid by private money.
But you wanna blame it on Trump and that's not gonna fly.
STOP ALREADY! Saying, Trump has helped America in any way, is the most retarded shit in the world! You can’t talk shit about being the President who has the Greatest Economy the World Has Ever Had and be the same fcking guy, who let a Pandemic take those $$$$$$ and shove it up your ass, while the entire country is fcked up beyond belief. Take your dumb ass elsewhere with this dumb shit! You stupid mofo’s are pathetic!
That transport happened on 2/7 before anyone anywhere there would be a pandemic. In addition it was sent by a humanitarian group, not the the federal government. The U.S. merely provided the transportation to China as a humanitarian measure.
I can tell you know nothing about geopolitics. Project HOPE is a private, non profit humanitarian organization. It is unconstitutional for Trump and the feds to take a single mask from that organization and the our federal gov't would have been sued for hundreds of millions of dollars. There would have been a MASSIVE lawsuit.
It's like if our federal gov't tried to take a single dollar from Catholic Charities because there are sick children here in our country. No government can take anything from a non profit humanitarian organization. That would lead to a massive lawsuit and in countries that are poor that would lead to the collapse of that gov't. It is illegal.
Nice try mike but you need to take a class in civics and in law.
Yes the country is screwed but not for the reasons you would think. How do you know whom I support? I've never written anything for or against Trump on here or really anywhere. I'm not a Republican. I'm a Libertarian, which stands for, in part, freedom, liberty and smaller government. That went out the window a long time ago. I'm actually antigovernment and have been all my life. Politicians, both Democrat and Republican have fcked us for 50 years. The debt is going to overwhelm the country and destroy the economic system. A list of Trumps accomplishments which some would disagree with or say are propaganda. http://lc.org/PDFs/Trump.Accomplishments.FINAL.pdf
Try and stick with the facts and don't assume you know what ppl think or support.
I'm supporting Trump on this issue because what you posted was wrong. It's both illegal and unconstitutional to take from a nonprofit humanitarian organization, as you claim Trump did.
I disagree with Trump on some issues and agree with him on others. You don't know my politics. I have voted for both Democrats and Republicans in the past. So there.
OK. But you misinterpreted what you researched. That's the word. Misinterpreted. That's OK. It can happen to anyone. Hell it's happened to me in the past.
