Glad to see our uniter in chief bringing the two parties together.

I guess he's not Hitler after all. Either that or the democrats have some explaining to do. Wasn't long ago they were bigging up this broad hard.

Gretchen Whitmer put on a political masterclass yesterday. She created thousands of jobs to strengthen the economy and then made Trump to come to Michigan to thank her for it.

I know all you really care about is owning libs. The fact that you're just posing this as a win for Trump/loss for libs and ignoring that it might also be a classy move by Whitmer for the betterment of her constituents tells us this.

I guess in a perfect world for you, Democrats and Republicans should always be at each other's throats without any willingness to give an inch or reach common ground?

It's definitely a classy move from Whitmer. She's a soulless puppet obviously, but clearly she sees which way the wind is blowing and is trying to cozy up to the winning side. Whether that side is the right, the middle... whatever. Unity is great for the country whether it's genuine or even if the politicians are just playing pretend.

I'm thrilled that Trump can unite the parties. Your beef isn't with me, it's with the other posters in this thread who think Trump is Hitler. They are the ones who would rather watch it all burn down then admit they were wrong.

Every time a democrat embraces Trump or humanizes Trump, the board libs die a little on the inside. It exposes them as the frauds and phonies that they are. Just look at how mad Off The Court is. The guy is clearly fuming. I'm sure if we dig back far enough we can find examples of the board libs propping Whitmer up as a future presidential nominee, but they wouldn't dare do that now. She embraced Hitler.

I just don't get the way you've framing this so matter-of-factly. "Look at what Trump has done!". One could just as easily say that Trump is a notoriously petty and even vindictive person, and in order to remotely get anything from him you have to "cozy" up. And with that the argument could be made that it's not Trump heroically uniting the parties, but Whitmer deciding to be the bigger person for the greater good.

Are either of those sides I described the whole truth? Who knows but it doesn't really do anyone any good to be so clearly touting one end. Trump's staunchest supporters treating him like he's a god IS part of the problem. It completely prevents honest discourse.

Not that most people are looking for that here.

"BUT LIBS TOO!" Yea..I know.

Trump is petty and vindictive???

In 2020 during the initial Covid strain, Trump sent New York City a full navy hospital ship with 1,000 beds to help alleviate the burden on the local hospitals.

In totality the ship ended up treating only 179 patients because Governor Cuomo said it wasn't needed. Instead he forced nursing homes to accept the Covid patients which ended up killing thousands of nursing home residents.

And why did he send Covid patients to nursing homes instead of the medical ship? Because the democrats were all in on making Trump the face of Covid and couldn't risk making it look like he did something positive.

So yea, the two sides aren't the same at all. You can pretend all you want.


Edit:

Oh yea how can I forget that time anarchists and violent criminals took over multiple city blocks in Seattle and declared their own autonomous zone that operated totally outside the law. When Trump offered to send in the national guard, the mayor of Seattle told him to go kick rocks and let the CHOP zone stand for three weeks.

I made my point, and called that there was going to be a whataboutism. There was immediately said whataboutism..so I’ll bow out. What’s the issue?

Want me waste time naming two examples of the Republican Party blocking positive democratic initiatives purely for political sparring purposes? Or do you want me to just say that the republican spirit is truly for good? 3 omnis or whatever.

Okay, I get it. There's no ego with Trump, and certainly no petty or vindictive actions have been taken. He's notoriously graceful to those who speak out against him and his policies.

Since you've already flipped the conversation to something that it wasn't initially about at all and it's a slow day at work, I'll bite. The Cuomo thing..what exactly did he do to Trump? Isn't he the one that publicly requested the ship? And then didn't he publicly give praise to Trump when the request was granted? The ship also wasn't equipped to treat Covid patients...

Am I missing part of the story? I remembered it happened but it was fuzzy, and after doing a little research it doesn't appear that there was any sort of animosity exchanged.

Whoa whoa, I thought you said both sides were the same. Now you can't find examples? Surely there must be several.

And Cuomo wasn't the one who requested the ship. Are you crazy? You think Cuomo or the democrats had any interest in cooperating with Trump or do anything that might make it look like he's trying to help? :oldlol:

There was a shortage of hospital beds so Trump sent the ship.

Here is Rachel Maddow a.k.a. the #1 left wing commentator in America mocking the hospital ship and claiming it would never arrive... even though the USS Comfort had actually arrived in NYC that morning! The definition of fake news!

Here you have Trump trying to do something genuinely positive and helpful, and the democrats just outright refusing to acknowledge it. Cuomo said no I would rather flood the nursing homes with the Covid patients instead.

Well we can start with the firing of "disloyal" cabinent members, or those who have spoken against them. But to determine the overall levels we'll go here, don't you think it's prudent that we get things straight on what exactly we're comparing? Because yes, denying Covid patients from entering a ship, and then refusing the ship altogether to make Trump look bad is terrible and probably not going to be comparable. But is that really what happened?

Here is a link to the criticism of the Comfort's operation. Not a critique of Trump in any way, in case you were worried about that. Namely highlighting the refusal of the ship's crew to bring Covid patients onboard:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/nyregion/ny-coronavirus-usns-comfort.html

Going a little further into that. Cuomo and Trump working together to try to get that reversed(Fox News mind you):
https://www.foxnews.com/us/coronavirus-patients-delivered-comfort-ship-new-york-mistake

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday that President Trump agreed to dispatch a Navy hospital ship to the New York City Harbor to “add capacity” for those who need to be admitted due to complications of coronavirus.

About a dozen patients from the Javits Center in midtown Manhattan were transferred to the hospital ship Comfort one day after President Trump approved New York Gov. Cuomo’s request to have Covid-19 patients treated at the Javits Center.

Here's a link to Cuomo's praise of Trump on The Howard Stern Show:

Another Fox source on the ship being redeployed elsewhere:
https://www.fox29.com/news/new-york-no-longer-needs-usns-comfort-hospital-ship

"It did give us comfort, but we don't need it anymore," Cuomo said. "So if they need to deploy that somewhere else, they should take it."

Trump said at his Tuesday briefing that he asked Cuomo if "we could bring the Comfort back to its base in Virginia so that we could have it in other locations." Trump said they would bring the ship back soon.

Doesn't appear to be anything nefarious to me.

@ShawkFactory

On 3/25/20, the NYS Department of Health, under Cuomo's administration, issued a directive forcing nursing homes to admit patients discharged from hospitals even if they tested positive for covid. The policy aimed to alleviate the burden on hospitals overwhelmed during the early stages of the pandemic by freeing up beds for more critical patients.

The USS Comfort arrived in NYC on 3/30/20 with over 1,000 hospital beds.

It departed on 4/30/20 exactly one month from it's arrival. The decision to withdraw the ship was made after Cuomo informed President Trump that the vessel was no longer needed. During that time only 182 hospital patients were admitted with roughly 70% being Covid positive.

The nursing home directive was rescinded on 5/10/2020 after widespread criticism and reports linking the policy to increased fatalities among nursing home residents. By that time over 6,000 nursing home residents in New York had died from covid.


So here is the timeline of events:

- Cuomo said "Hey we're going to start housing covid patients in nursing homes"... which was met with some public dismay.

- Trump said "Hey here's a hospital ship where you can house Covid patients"

- Cuomo said "Uh huh sure..." giving him only the bare minimum of cooperation as to not look suspicious and continued to send covid patients to nursing homes.

- Cuomo then declared "Hey we really don't need the ship right now we're doing just fine"... all while continuing to flood the nursing homes with covid patients instead of sending them to the ship. This indirectly kills thousands of seniors.


And while this was all happening, team blue couldn't get enough of Cuomo. They were totally in love. He was the so called tough and masculine response to Evil Orange Face. They were even talking about nominating him for President.

You're certainly taking a lot of liberties there :lol


Trump said "Hey here's a hospital ship where you can house Covid patients"

No. It initially was NOT to house Covid patients. As cited above, Cuomo requested from Trump a little over a week after arrival that both the Comfort and the onshore Javits Center be allowed to house them.

Either way, Cuomo mishandling the situation, particularly with the nursing home bit, doesn't have anything to do with him being petty with Trump. It seems that a big issue here was the miscalculation on the number of Covid vs non-Covid patients there truly were. Again, the Comfort was originally intended to offload non-covid patients, but before the new directive was given it appears that there weren't many to send. It also appears that sending the ship back was agreed upon by the two of them.

There's no evidence that I've found from any source at the time that says the two weren't working together or that Cuomo was brushing anything aside. In fact, it appears to be the opposite. By the time Covid patients were allowed to be treated onboard, it appears that the onshore Javits Center was fully operational and able to take Covid patients as well, lessening the need for the Comfort.

You probably got a little too caught up in online discourse and biased reporting.

Lmao.

At one point 70% of the patients onboard were covid patients, which means Cuomo could have kept sending them there.

Give me one good reason why a single covid patient should have been housed in a nursing home when the federal government had provided a fully manned hospital ship. Also, while you're at it, explain why Rachel Maddow would mock the very idea of it and lie about it not arriving.

And don't tell me that Cuomo had good intentions when it came to cooperating with Trump:

https://x.com/Reuters/status/1309229871357472769

This has been addressed, but I'll repeat (for the last time). By the time the Comfort was able to house Covid patients, so too was the Javits Center, which was able to handle more of the excess. It was then decided by BOTH Cuomo and Trump that the ship could best be used elsewhere.

I've also already addressed the miscalculation on Cuomo's part to direct nursing homes to allow Covid patients and then to understate the damage done after the fact. The directive he gave also simply stated that candidates couldn't be turned away from nursing homes based solely on a confirmed or suspected Covid diagnosis. Still a misstep, but he wasn't "sending" people into the nursing homes. This is political hyperbole on your part.

And YOU are the one making the leap that this miscalculation must have been to spite Trump. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that.


Also, while you're at it, explain why Rachel Maddow would mock the very idea of it and lie about it not arriving.

What?! Bro I don't give a FVCK what Rachel Maddow has to say (before watching that I didn't even know what she looked like). And nor should you. It has absolutely no relevance as to how Cuomo and Trump actually handled this situation, and it's things like this that make me believe that you are far too inundated with bad-faith rhetoric to be able to have an actual discussion.

Yes you are rewriting. Not only are you rewriting, you're feigning ignorance.

First of all the fact that you don't know who Rachel Maddow is pretty alarming. That would be like someone who claims to be knowledgeable about sports not knowing who Stephen A. Smith is. Anyone that follows the news for better or worse knows who Rachel Maddow is. So that's a huge red flag.

Second, you would have to be dumb not to know that MSNBC was a mouthpiece for the democratic party in the same way that Fox News is for the republican party. Whatever MSNBC is saying, that is what the democrats are communicating. Rachel Maddow at that point in time was a top spokesman for the democratic party.

And then for you to say it's totally irrelevant that Cuomo villainized Trump when it came to the vaccine. Lol, how? It proves that Cuomo is a diabolical schemer who wants to thwart Trump's agenda at all costs. But now you're saying there's a 100% chance it played no role and how he utilized the hospital ship?

Yea I didn't say that, my guy. I said I didn't know what she looked like. As in I didn't/don't watch MSNBC. At all.

It's funny how you don't realize that everything you're saying is literally proving my point that you appear get all of your information from Fox News and MSNBC. And that you take that information literally. Talkin' about how a Stephen A. Smith-type talking head is some true voice. Come on now :lol

Lol you know who she is but you don't know what she looks like? Wtf does that even mean? :oldlol:

I'm not saying SAS is a true voice, I'm saying if you're even a semi-serious follower of sports you know who the man is. He's the #1 sports commentator in the world whether you like it or not and the most well known. You almost can't follow sports and not come across him.

Imagine having a serious basketball discussion with someone and they have no idea who SAS is. Right off the bat I would be suspect. The guy has been a mainstay in sports media going on 20 years now. If you don't know who SAS is it probably means you're a casual sports follower at best.

I don't think it's possible to have a serious discussion about politics if you don't know what Rachel Maddow looks like.

Correct. There are other ways to consume news, or peoples opinions, than watching it. I don't and never have watched MSNBC. I thought I made that clear..

I know you're so mainstream media brained that this concept is difficult for you.

You don't have to watch SAS to know who he is. Lol you think I actually tune in to watch SAS or care about his takes when it comes to sports? Obviously not but he is so omnipresent in the world of sports media you can't avoid him. Either his takes are making headlines or the players themselves are responding to them. Not to mention his face is all over ESPN so if you watch games, you see his face.

The point being that if you watch basketball, you know who SAS is. It's impossible not to. If you were discussing basketball with someone and they didn't know who SAS was, you would probably guess that they don't follow the sport much.

Rachel Maddow has been the #1 left wing cable news commentator going on 17 years now. Whether you rely on her for news or not, she is a major player in the world of political news and media. Anyone that regularly follows the news as it pertains to politics should know who she is.

You not knowing who she is just proves you don't follow the news all that avidly. That's fine of course, but don't waltz in here pretending to be some sort of expert. Clearly you aren't paying attention like that.
