Fauci says Trump hasn't ordered slowdown of coronavirus testing

[Cow Poke]

Riiiight....Trump tried to reign in the chaos and mayhem via vitriolic tweeting, starting in 2017 with pre-riot insult of a peaceful protest:

I never accused Trump of being logical. You'll have to pick this silly fight with somebody else.

False - I have said repeatedly Trump says and does nutty things.

Only in passing; the lion's share of your attention is on the nutty things said and done by the people reacting to him.

Well, yeah, they're a lot more fun.

Why does entertainment trump your principles?

Having fun appears to be more important to you than the highest politician in the land stomping all over your values (religious, political, patriotic, etc). That kind of thing used to send conservatives into paroxysms...

Why do you ask stupid questions?

I generally don't. I occasionally ask rhetorical questions, but this one was sincere, and you're running away from it.

The issue I raised and your response to the question tends to validate an idea I've been advocating for more than a decade now: Republicans / conservatives generally don't have values that are invariant over political ideology.

Can't find that in the bible anywhere...

I'm not. I don't believe it's sincere, and it's based on your misrepresentation of my thoughts and beliefs.

Perhaps you should go by something I actually said, than your own misrepresentation.

So, what would you like to know?

I voted for a president so...

A) Hillary would not be POTUS
2) SCOTUS would not be Hillary's.

Next?

I'm a calm and reasonable guy. I don't get outraged. I do - and HAVE said repeatedly - wish somebody would hijack his Twitter account.

Next?

Why are the leftists of Tweb going so incredibly unhinged? You are becoming the poster boy for leftist nutters.

In the case of what I was talking about, I think this is more than just "saying nutty things". Actively trying to reduce testing when the fourth largest city in the US says they are on pace to exceed ICU capacity by today is not just "nutty", it's highly likely to kill people.

I've got play the "whataboutism" card here because it's so over-the-top hypocritical. I've not heard one thing Trump has said or tweeted that was racist, though I've heard the things taken out of context that MSM says was racist. Obnoxious and petty vitriol and narcissism, definitely; racism, nope. Contrariwise, I've definitely heard Biden say things that could very easily been construed as downright racist, especially the speeches he gave in the past, one of which he referenced minority communities as "racial jungle." I suspect those speeches will come out during campaign ads (assuming Trump is serious about winning).

He's not racist, he's just an idiot, and a very insensitive one. And you're assuming antifa is not white supremacist. I beg to differ.

You assume he's taunting them. I assume he's an idiot and not smart enough or politically shrewd enough to know why that might be offensive. He was stroking his own ego with fake job numbers to try and get folk's attention away from the Floyd protests. To me, that's more sensible than assuming he has some sort of shrewd way of sending out secret racist codes to his white supremacist base or using subtle ways to taunt blacks. No. He's just a self-centered idiot, bro. Simple.

I believe Antifa is definitely white supremacist and they show all the hallmarks of it (where should I start?), more than any vague and elusive "rightwing white supremacists" you and the left keep mentioning. I mean, is there even still a KKK that isn't just a fringe backwoods group in the south and has any sociopolitical significance in the US?

Antifa sure has significance.
