I decided to watch Rachael Maddow's show on MSNBC last night ... or at
least tried to.

She spent at least a half hour blasting Trump for his announcement of
a temporary ban on immigrants applying for green cards, etc., in her
annoying, lecturing way.

Her reasons were that there is no evidence that immigrants entering the
USA are carrying the covid-19 virus and she pointed out that the
spread of the virus was happening from *within* the USA, not from
people entering from the southern border.

WTF?

Trump never gave spreading of the virus as a reason for his temporary
ban.Â* Never uttered a word of this.

His reason was the fact that there are 22 million unemployed
Americans right now and they should have first shot at jobs
as the shut-down of the economy is relaxed and people are able
to go back to work.

He has *never* said it has anything to do with spreading the virus.

Maddow is an intelligent person.Â* I used to watch her show fairly
regularly before all this political division started.

Does she really believe the bull**** she delivers or has
MSNBC made it a requirement culturally and politically to
just make **** up?

I used to think you were one of the brighter right of center posters
here, but in the last year or so, you've devolved into a virtually
complete mindless Trumpster. Trump is anti-immigrant because he is a
racist and that anti-immigrant stance has great appeal among the
deplorables that make up his base voters. Just this past Monday, Trump
tweeted up conflicting reasons for stating he wanted to restrict
immigration, and among these was his usual fear-mongering in regard to
immigrants who might have the virus.

It wouldn't surprise me to see a video of you participating in one of
those Trumpster "End the stay at home" now rallies.

I didn't see the Maddow show...I don't watch the cable hosts, any of
them, very much. But Maddow certainly has a lot more credibility on any
issue than Trump has.

Sad to say, what little is left of intelligent discussion in this
newsgroup has itself devolved to the mindless level of your Florida
buddy, the one you kept telling us was "very bright" because he got into
the Navy or some such nonsense. Whatever "newbies" who might have
wandered into this sewer pit must leave almost immediately when they see
that 99% of the posts concern themselves with kissing Trump's ass.

The *only* thoughtful posts from the right come from Fretwell, and even
he is pretty much a Trumpster. Sad, bigly.

I am not really a Trumpster but in the shadow of the TDS people I
guess it appears that way. You folks can't make up your mind why you
hate him but the hate is consistent.
When he tries to take control you say he wants to be a king and when
he allows the constitution guide his policies and let the states
decide, you say he is not doing enough. The only pattern is whatever
he does is wrong before he even does it.
I really suspect a group of psych majors got together and chose a
strategy that would inflame the weaknesses in his personality and make
him look as bad as they could. I am just waiting until they start up
on Biden that way. He might melt down before November, if he would
come out of hiding. This virus thing is the best thing that ever could
happen to his candidacy. It keeps him from being out there saying dumb
stuff.
