You either slow or ignorant. If you put things into context from beginning of his presidency you'd never post dumb stuff you just did. Calling others soft while you being dumb is not how you disagree with others.

Then don't be a hypocrite.

I heard Joe scarborough say it a while ago but I'm working and don't have time to research.

I also think it is important for people to understand where they get their news information from. Vox is an EXTREMELY biased news outlet. Most of their work is opinion pieces on current events and those opinion pieces have an extreme bias in them. I actually like their setup. I like smart people offering opinions on news topics. My issue with Vox is that they aren't balanced and you really only get one side of things.

Yes that's definitely the important thing here.

I mean you're right, it's not. That said, how much BS floods in here because someone has an agenda. If you're going to call someone out for it you better back up your own claims (something you have done well and I thank you for that).

Trump was exposed for being a liar again, i know that sucks for you. No one in the mainstream media said that stopping flights from China was racist.

Why no other leader of the country call China virus?

Joe also said his goal was to "turn Donald Trump's political bones to dust". That was actually said by him. I actually like Morning Joe, but I also know exactly what it is. I still watch it for 1 hour each morning when I'm on my elliptical machine.

Nothing reminds me more of children arguing at a school yard more than people taking dem v republican or republican v dem stances. It’s amazing how easily the government divides to deflect blame.

Balance is useless - all that matters are facts and truth.

This idea that all sides have equal merit is one of the biggest problems in this country (and the world) right now. (see climate change for a great example of this)

I don't even think you understand Vox - they aren't purporting themselves to be a straight news outlet - the provide commentary and analysis.

You are basically complaining because the opinion page contains opinions.

They take it seriously, which is good.

Keep us updated how it is there!

Latest directive is that ALL passengers arriving in HK will get a free test. If you are positive, you will be transported to a designated hospital and receive free medical treatment until you have recovered.

WOW. I wish everywhere did this!

The biggest thing everyone needs to get through their heads.

You can't tell if your local area is in serious trouble from corona virus until about 2 weeks after it's in serious trouble.

That's why we have to lock everything down right now until we can ramp up testing significantly more (as well as trace/quarantine... because if we don't do that testing won't matter).

Yes its pretty simple to see that economy has come to a standstill and yet here is the administration, congress, federal government taking baby steps and taking up precious time. They really do not understand that 78% of the country lives paycheck to paycheck. They haven't gotten people money and they have refused for whatever reason to suspend all mortgage, rent, utilities, care payments, student loans, etc. This is just basic moves that they are dragging their feet on.

I know exactly what Vox is. I spelled it out. They offer opinions on news. My issue with them is that all of their opinions come from one side of the political aisle. Just understand that when you read it or post it on an open forum. If you don't view things from a liberal POV, you probably won't agree with much of what they write.

I do think they have good stuff on their website. I just wish it was more balanced. Apparently you do not care whether or not something is balanced. We just disagree there.
