We weren't scared then. Why are we scared now?

You’re forgetting how fearful folks were of follow-up terrorist attacks, or of flying. Huh, guess you must have not lived through it despite the date indicated in your screenname

Of note, the insurance industry made a killing selling “terrorism insurance” policies and happily collecting premiums that I don’t think any claims have ever been paid out on. Further proof the fear levels were there

Anyway the point of this meme being that coronavirus is our decade’s 9/11. As such, I expect robust presidential leadership that isn’t CYA-oriented, and doesn’t blame the media, the other party, China, Europeans, Mexicans, or whatever next week’s new villain will be

I asked you this question on another meme and didn’t get an answer

Let’s try again

Do you support shutting down all of society over this?

Praising Bush (see: OP) is not a DNC talking point

Neither was this meme: 3t94ge.jpg (click to show)

As for the rest of your complaints it’s just a word salad of whining

Your move

Sheesh, you're almost as full of crap as you are of yourself.

You "... being a partisan hack, parroting out the DNC talking points, incapable of independent thought, and stop misrepresenting, mischaracterizing, misdirecting, and lying about what others say and how they say it." is what has irritated me about you.

If you believed your points had any worth and validity, you would see no need to resort to such tactics. But you can't back it so such becomes your MO.

This is what makes you and Timber kinda similar!

What makes it so difficult to accept that I actually believe what I say

Kinda, my ass.

What you say sounds too tailored. You say the 'right thing' but there's no substance, no heart. You tend to miss your own point.

Except you’re saying all this on a meme where I’m praising Bush, and pushing back against the prevailing narrative that we should all be fearful and reclusive right now and pay no heed to the devastating economic impact of the draconian quarantine efforts

Whatever the DNC is doing these days they’re not doing this

Cheney BUSH? the one that 9/10 knew that 9/11 was going to happen and 9/12 used Air Force One to fly members of Bin Laden's family out of the US and back to safety in Saudi Arabia? Was the quote to them, reassuring that Osama would not be targeted despite intel from Evil Axis Iran given to us while planning our invasion of Afganistan that he was literally holed up in Tora Bora and repeatedly confirmed by our Military when we invaded and cordoned it off from bombing for months till it was clear he had escaped to safety in Pakistan whom he gave billions a year to assist us by being so awesome in their support for Al Queda and the Taliban? The same Bush that invaded Iraq because we couldn't tell the difference between the Enola Gay and irrigation pipes? The same Bush that was planning to invade Iran next in his not-nation building but the public wouldn't have it nor the Military while we were bogged down in two wars we couldn't win?

Yes, your "But look what I did to be so fair" meme was totally calculated.

The Trumpites have now recategorized Napolean Bush as a DINO while the Dems totally forgot what that Special Ed shitter Cheney puppet hath wrought since 2001 while they and their Repub buddies got us all hunkering for marshall law.

pssssssssst, do you not wonder why both parties whisper under breath the election should maybe be held off till a later date? We've seen this movie before.

Guy, you are a DNC/RNC shill.

Hmmm I don’t know how you could conclude that

Don’t mistake the fact I don’t insult folks 12,000 times a day for a lack of substance or heart

As for being “too tailored”? I don’t really mind copping to that backhanded compliment. Guilty as charged

Tailored as in scripted, DNC cookie cutter. Devoid of anything that came from you.

While resorting to the overused accusations of "bot" is something I do as well (and usually to Trumpites), you are one individual of whom that charge fits a little too well.

“DNC this, DNC that”

Whatever man. I read the news. I don’t parrot it but I am informed

Meanwhile: 80-90% of the politics stream are arguments directly copy-pasted from what Trump and FOX News said yesterday

There ya go, you're catching on. YES, you DO sound exactly like those knee jerk goose stepping drones, only from 'the other side'

Do YOU?

Aren't you one of these confetti champagne popping revelers giddy over "Trump's ruined economy" all mad because he didn't get out the bullhorn and tell everyone to duck n cover back in December?

This silly mass hysteria would have been pinned on him if he did try to scare anyone like they, well, wish he did. Oh my, we don't have test kits handed out to every single American yet, and doctors might have to reuse their face masks because they use a different one for every patient they see? We gotta build thiusands of hospitals yesterday because apparently no one got sick before with anything worse than a mild case of flatulance after last night's Taco Bell.

I don’t. I support isolating and closely monitoring the most at-risk populations

As it stands it looks like the “cure” is going to be worse than the disease

Oh cool, quarantining people based ..... on ..... what exactly?

News flash, EVERYONE is at risk.

Based on this

The disease is just not that deadly to folks under 50 or without pre-existing conditions

Could we be a little more selective in our approach rather than telling literally everyone to go home for months?

Like who's gonna pay your bills while you sit home and suck your thumb playing Kylie's legal rep on tha 'flip all day and night, the immigrants to be hired to tend our new ill because who'd want that gig?
