Will this stock market madness affect cards?

Continual Trump bashing even during these times. Who said this pandemic had no political agenda? The Dems are using anything and everything they can to paint Trump in a bad light. Shameful, absolutely shameful.

Your comments about "Dems" politicizing this issue are contrary to what I, and I believe several others here have been saying which is not partisan. This is a serious global situation. Simply LISTEN to medical EXPERTS! Learn from past outbreaks. Learn from the countries who are doing it better than we are!!

Also see the example of Democratic Governor Newsom, who whether Jake Tapper could believe it or not, was complimentary to Trump on more than one occasion, while making quick tough decisions in advance of federal guidance to try and slow the spread of this virus in his state. Newsom is far from perfect, going back to his time as mayor in SF, however he's clearly making a deliberate attempt to avoid unnecessary partisan bickering right now.

It would be nice of others would take a similar tact as this does need to transcend partisan politics. It does not seem like you absorb this however when you go right back to "the Dems are attacking Trump narrative", which is painfully circular.

You also bash liberal media. Anyone on the left could then easily counter with Fox's and Hannity's terribly negative coverage of the Stoneman Douglass teenage activists, or Info Wars' attacks on the Sandy Hook families. But what good does any of that do right now? It just further pisses people off during a time we need some unity.

What I observe is that you and some others seem to use the offensive, as a best defensive tactic for what has been an underwhelming executive response thus far. I imagine the inner monologue-- "Oh crap, our guy contradicted himself again, '15 won't be zero by next week', this won’t just ‘dissipate in April when it warms up’, it is not ‘just like the flu’.... errrrr 'it’s a war!’.... yes, we'll call it a war now!!!… and also attack the dems!! And the media!!"

BTW- I do not watch CNN or MSNBC talking heads, I do not watch Fox. I mostly avoid Facebook, totally avoid Twitter, and question things that are forwarded from those sites. I try my best to ID potential slant in a story written or televised, and then ideally extract the most basic facts. It's not possible to fully avoid bias in reporting, especially if they are simply providing bad info, but it's also not too difficult to pick up on their selective wording, deliberate vocal tones, and to try to look beyond. It is also far too cynical (and lazy) to simply believe all those in media/press (MSNBC, CNN or Fox) are slime balls, only concerned with ratings. I think there are many honest and dedicated reporters and producers out there. We just need to work harder to find them, filter out the other noise.

Yes, using the man's OWN words and actions/inactions is absolutely shameful./snark off

I don't know whether it is comforting or disconcerting to know that there are "Loonies" in Canada as well as in the US.

Are you seriously posting an instagram tv link from a Russian-based account profile? Why? Do you not question the junk you see on social media?

No, but the video used very short clips of each person to manipulate the message instead of weighing the context of what was being said. A modicum of critical thought would have one question the clips and see what the actual message of each person was. It doesn't matter if it's clips from Trump, Biden, McConnell, Schumer or whoever else... those instagram accounts use those clips like that because they cause an emotional reaction. They are used to manipulate, which is why I questioned you using a post from a Russian Instagram account while dismissing a verified media publication like Vox.

This is a golden opportunity for you to show at least one of those sound clips was taken out of context by showing the longer clip and facts showing that it is misleading. I’ll wait patiently.
