What also sucks about the coronavirus kicking off a recession is that

[docgee]

it will be used as an excuse as to why trump gets creamed in November. Conservatives will say "if it wasn't for the coronavirus, trump would have blah, blah, blah... The only reason Biden won was because of blah blah". Not that he was the shittiest president in the history of presidents. Not that he tried to destroy our democracy.

[we can do it]

1. I don't care as long as he is gone.

[drmeow]

18. ditto nt

[Jim__]

2. Well, shit happens, and leaders have to be ready for it.

Most people I know who have jobs with a lot of responsibility, don't have time to play golf every weekend. Next to the conservatives' posters full of excuses, we can hang a poster of this jackass swinging a golf club.

3. No it doesn't suck

something was bound to catch up with him.

Who cares what the losers say.

[docgee]

7. Well I'm thinking in 4 years, the losers will not have crawled back under their rocks in shame.

[edhopper]

13. The have no shame.

4. Republicans are going to say whatever they are going to say.

The reality is that the panic and the economic problems, though not entirely under a president's control, can be made better or worse by his behaviors. Trump has no skill at management or communication. He is the worst type of person to deal with an emergency. He could have jumped in and been proactive about this situation, but his denial and lack of focus made this situation what it is.

Let the Republicans say whatever they want, as long as they are saying it as the minority party, about the former, one term, failed Trump.

5. Don't care. As long as he's gone, I'm happy.

[Mister Ed]

6. Here's what you can tell 'em when they say that:

"Yeah, that virus was tough for him handle, all right. It didn't read his tweets. It didn't watch Fox News. It didn't care if he gave it an insulting playground nickname. How the hell was he supposed to fight something like that?"

8. 75% of economists already predicted a recession before the Coronavirus happened

It was already going to happen, this just hastened its onset.

12. Trump can be blamed for not being ready for either one of them

[lame54]

9. As long as he is out...

We will be lucky if we get to vote

Trump's perfect excuse for cancelling the election

[0rganism]

10. seems to me that's a problem we'd be lucky to have

give me the conservatives making excuses for a loss any day over conservatives doing their gleeful potty dance around a win.

[uponit7771]

11. Trumps response to CV19 will be put on account now. It wont be just the markets it'll be sick people

[customerserviceguy]

14. This is what you're worried about?

What sucks about a recession is the little people that it hurts. Oh, yeah, the rich folks (some of them, anyway) are going to lose a bundle in the stock market, but it's the people at the bottom who are going to be the ones out on the street.

I've got enough going for me now to be able to weather this recession out, but I sure do remember the time when I was standing in line for government cheese and milk powder because I lost my job during a recession.

I could give a flying fuck what Republicons say or think.

[LymphocyteLover]

15. but the natural retort to it is the virus showed how unfit he is for the presidency

his policies made it worse-- cutting CDC funding, for God's sake!!!!

[LymphocyteLover]

16. Anyway, fuck the GOP. They need to be banished from our system for supporting this lunatic unfit

person as president

[LiberalBrooke]

17. Does not matter what he says to justify his loss as long as he loses and is out.
