This virus is far more deadly then ANYTHING humanity has ever faced and will be the thing that wipes us all out. The death toll is higher then the survival toll. WE NEED SIX YEARS OR MORE OF FUCKING QUARANTINE! NOW! And every single person who isn’t a Trumptard agrees with this statement!
Connor Sanders
Hell, Corona is so deadly it’s incurable! Trump is a fucking idiot, we need at least 10 years of quarantine. This virus is literally worse then the Black Plague, you have to be a Trump worshipping idiot to say it’s not!
Ryder Myers
All I know is I'm still waiting to take the test after being sick with some respiratory bullshit back in February

Dude, I’m on your side.
Lucas Phillips
You stop worshipping Trump and thinking everything is going to be fucking okay, first. This virus is truly the deadliest we’ve ever faced and you faggots think it will “flatten” or “go away”. It won’t. It’s here to stay for a long ass time and you idiots voting a sociopath into office are to blame!

Were right and your seething over it.
Noah Phillips
Thanks for the reply. What did it? The obvious hypocrisy and lies from the US president or the fact that I'm some nobody who put in less than an afternoon putting together these very public and very accessible contradictory statements?

Obviously My libertarian democrat governor pleaded for vents and for nothing but as soon as my republican senator asked Trump obliged and was sure to tweet all about it

'My seething' over it what?
Josiah Sullivan
Make sure you all gather together and beathe into each others faces as much as possible. That'll teach those pesky governers to protect your health
Ian Parker
This. Like I said, this virus will never go away and the curve will never flatten, infact it will only get worse and Trump wants to open shit back up and act like there’s a positive side to all this. There isn’t. The Corona is our modern Black Plague if not worse. We need years more of quarantine.
Juan Roberts
I’m on your side, you absolute retard. Corona is deadlier then the fucking Black Plague and almost everyone who gets it dies.

You're not on my side you sperlord you're jumping on some fucking hyperbole train.
Nobody is saying that shit except you gaslighting chimpfuckers trying to conflate legitimate covid19 concerns with the black plague, fuck you and fuck your oversimplification
Daniel Ward
Go fuck yourself you reductionist
Xavier Lopez
But why is Trump so incompetent? It's like he wants millions of people to die. Most people killed in one presidency is not the high score you want to have. All he has do do is let governors decide what is best for their own states, and not try to reopen everything prematurely because of muh stock market president.

Still waiting on those trumpbux ... Apparently they were delayed an extra week so that Trumps name would appear on them. What a huckster.
>But why is Trump so incompetent? Most of his energy is dedicated to fucking with the news cycle. He spends more time reading newspapers than he does intelligence memos. Creating a castle of smoke and mirrors around his self image is what he's done his entire life, now that habit is absolutely cancer to the future of the United States.
