Jan 21: "We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China."
Jan 30: "We think we have it very much under control."
Feb 02: "We pretty much shut it down, coming from China."
Feb 14: “We have a very small number of people in the country, right now, with it. It’s like around 12… Some are fully recovered already. So we’re in very good shape.”
Feb 25: "People are getting better, they're all getting better."
Feb 26: "And the 15 in a couple of days is gonna be down to close to zero."
Feb 28: "Coronavirus. This is the new hoax... You'll be fine."
Feb 28: “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear”
Mar 02: "They're going to have vaccines very soon."
Mar 03: "Not only the vaccines, but the therapies. Therapies is sort of another word for cure."
Mar 04: "We're talking about very small numbers in the United States."
Mar 06: “I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault… I like the numbers where they are.”
Mar 06: “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect…”
Mar 07: “It came out of China, and we heard about it. And made a good move: We closed it down. We stopped it.”
Mar 08: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House.” Mar 10: "It's really working out, and a lot of good things are gonna happen. Just stay calm. It will go away."
Mar 12: "It's gonna go away."
Mar 13: "No, I don't take responsibility at all."
Mar 16: “I’d rate it a 10. I think we’ve done a great job.”
Mar 17: "This is a pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic."
Mar 25: “We’re the ones that gave the great response, and we’re the ones that kept China out of here. And if I didn’t do it, you’d have thousands and thousands of people died — who would’ve died — that are now living and happy.”

Again, Mar 13: "No, I don't take responsibility at all."


Again, Mar 25: “We’re the ones that gave the great response, and we’re the ones that kept China out of here. And if I didn’t do it, you’d have thousands and thousands of people died — who would’ve died — that are now living and happy.”

As of Saturday, April 11, 2020, we have had over 18,860 deaths from the Coronavirus across the U.S. That’s more than any other country in the world that’s reporting their Covid-19 deaths. I’d say we’ve seen our “thousands and thousands of people died,” already, thanks to Trump’s lies and slow-to-act actions.

OPP members are engaged in an ongoing political/ideological ping pong game, no one wins, no one loses, and no one is keeping score.

The bulk of interactions here are just people busting each other's chops. 99% of the activity on the Main page is either an attack or a defense and no one on either side of the issues is yielding an inch. Lord knows I have roundly engaged in this crap myself.

Nothing happening here on OPP is going have any effect on the future of our nation. At the most there are 20 or 30 active members, and regardless of the power or weakness of anyone's argument, I have yet to see a change of mind on either side.

We are on a threshold unprecedented in American history. Even the American Civil War or WW2 can match the potentially devastating consequences to our nation's security and economic prosperity if we cannot get back to the principles of America's founding.

And then there are the trolls. Seems we have an abundance of them, most of whom are raging against that possibility, and I have no qualms about busting their chops. I didn't swear the oath to defend our constitution and our way of life and spend much of my life doing so to allow idiots to go unanswered.

Really, the only thing keeping me here is occasionally someone posts an opinion or a source that is informative, enlightening, entertaining, or supports my world view and provides food for thought.

I surely understand the reasoning behind Mr Mister's decision to quit.
