Might want to brush up on his story. I don't think anyone here is expecting Trump to be a new King David, but certainly some might wish for it.

    In related news there is a great series of books on the men of the bible Great lives in Gods words by Charles Swindoll. Only woman featured is Esther, but they are good books . David is particularly interesting.

    The Christian god also did some wretched things.

    I'm very familiar with King David's story. No Psalm 51 in Trump's repertoire...and, we're not Israel.

    There are direct flights from all those places into the Heartland...Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Denver

    Trump, Feb 26

    "So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths,"

    Trump, March 7

    This is why Trump didn’t give this disease the time of day. Up until he finally started to panic in mid-March, he was convinced this disease was no big deal and was under control.
    Here is what the Dems were doing.

    NANCY PELOSI TOUTED IMPEACHMENT WALK TO SENATE AS CORONAVIRUS CAME TO U.S.


    Nancy Pelosi Touted Impeachment Walk to Senate as Coronavirus Came to U.S.


    Democrats have criticized President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, as polls have shown rising approval from Americans over the job he is doing overall and his handling of the crisis.

    On Sunday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed Trump was responsible for the loss of American lives.


    A former aide to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) reminded Democrats that the same day the first person with coronavirus showed up to the U.S. in Washington state, Pelosi urged Americans to watch House impeachment managers deliver the articles of impeachment against Trump to the Senate.

    Pelosi indeed tweeted on January 15: “Tune in as House impeachment managers deliver the articles of impeachment against President Trump to the U.S. Senate.”

    According to the CDC, the first patient to have been confirmed positive for coronavirus in the U.S. arrived to the country from Wuhan, China, on the same day, January 15.

    On January 23, House impeachment managers made their opening arguments for removing the president to the Senate.

    On January 29, Trump formed the White House Coronavirus Task Force.

    On January 30, senators began asking two days of questions during the impeachment trial.

    On January 31, Trump declared a ban on travel to the U.S. from China, which Democrats criticized as xenophobic.

    Fact. Trumps achievements are not on par with David, but his failures might be.

    And, frankly, I think I'd be a lot more open to moving from my "never Trump" position if he would stop firing every Nathan that calls him out on his BS.

    As an intermediate update - the numbers are already significantly higher. Over 2% based on the data I am looking at.

    I found this a good read on the reason why the stockpile of ventilators was so low.

    S
    eems like a lot of people with Newport Medical Instruments may have made a tidy sum while screwing the rest of us.

    and another.

    I wouldn’t call that article news. It is more of a summary of how Trump fubar’d our ability to respond to COVID.
