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. Butd 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.

It amazes me that a person with your track record of poor judgement,
irresponsibility and financial mis-management, can presume to have any
credibility whatsoever. When your primary skill set is newsgroup
trolling, you're going to need a day job to make ends meet, maybe two.



Harry is nothing but a troll. Loves to try to entice division and
social disharmony in any group much like Nomen. They both get some sort
of bizarre thrill doing that.

Cracks me up that he claims he didn't watch the Maddow show I
referenced, claims he doesn't watch the cable hosts very much
yet affords her credibility. He probably believes in Santa Clause too.

My political stripes haven't changed in years. It's the "center" that
has shifted significantly to the left.

Harry's correct about one thing in his post about me though:

He *used* to think.

Richard, I believe both. She has an image to maintain, and can come up with some bazaar things for a waiting and hungry crowd. Really amazing, actually.


Her claims last night irritated me enough to post this on the "Rachel
Maddow Show" Facebook page about 15 minutes ago:


"I watched your show Tuesday night as you criticized Trump for his
temporary ban on immigrants, green card applications etc, on our
southern border. Then you lost me. You blamed him for trying to prevent
further spread of the covid-19 virus and you pointed out that the spread
of the virus was from *within* the USA, not from immigrants.

Where did you get this from? Trump *never* said such a thing or gave it
as a reason for his temporary ban. He said it's because we now have 22
million unemployed due to the economic shut-down of the country and, as
the shut-down is relaxed, jobs should first be made available to US
citizens. You also never mentioned the exceptions to his ban.

I used to watch your show regularly before the political division in
this country took root and respected your intelligence and fairness.
What happened to it? And BTW, despite what you may think, I am *not* a
"Trumpster". I just respect fairness and honesty in reporting news."


Now I am watching to see how long it takes MSNBC to delete my post. :-)


I really doubt the unemployed will give up the $600 a week plus
whatever the state pays them for a $10 an hour job picking tomatoes
that nobody will buy. In fact those are some of the unemployed right
now. Dish washers, bus boys and hotel cleaners are also having a hard
time finding work. If everything is carry out and the hotels are
empty, they don't need those people. It really sucks if the contractor
the hotel hired for that labor was paying illegals off the books
because they won't get anything. (unless they live in a sanctuary city
that doesn't vet the "unemployed".)

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.
