I cant believe a republican friend just said this. WTF. We are doomed.

Why the obama administration didn't have test kits available for future problems is beyond me.

The abject stupidity is beyond me.
Added: The doomed part was facetious.

[Wounded Bear]

1. Trumplodytes are in fine form lately...

quick to defend him.

[SCantiGOP]

35. "Why didn't you call the Fire Department yesterday?"

Then you have been prepared for the fire at your house today."

Did the person realized how effing stupid they were?

[live love laugh]

79. "Lately"? Pffft defend him is all they ever do. nt

[RhodeIslandOne]

92. It's their MO

Shift blame constantly, change direction.

[jls4561]

2. Tell your friend to go eat a pangolin

[SammyWinstonJack]

67. Ha!

[D_Master81]

3. Hahahaha

Yeah Obama why couldn’t you have carried trumps water on this too?

[Claustrum]

4. My parents (Trumpers) are blaming the blue states and blue cities for inadequate response

They are saying the democrats in charge aren't doing enough and letting coronavirus run free. I almost went into a 30 minutes rant but I stopped after 3 sentences of Trump's words to downplay the virus thus far.

[D_Master81]

7. No matter what the problem always a Democrat's fault

That’s the 11th commandment in the Bible I’ve heard.

[czarjak]

28. Never speak I'll of a fellow Republican?

[WePurrsevere]

5. Wow.. Hey another Cult45er totally lacking in critical thinking skills. nt

[Mz Pip]

6. That really is stupid.

How can there be stockpiles of tests for viruses that didn’t exist 4 years ago?

[Mariana]

13. The virus didn't exist 4 months ago.

I've been calling this all along. The Trumpsters will never turn against their idol. As they're gasping and struggling to take their final conscious breaths, they'll be saying, "It's Obama's fault! Hillary would have been worse!"

[IggleDuer]

23. In calling it COVID-19: they are referring to its discovery in 2019.

N/T

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. Late December 2019 is less than four months away, less than 3. . . . nt

[Mariana]

37. December 2019. nt.

[FreeState]

68. November 2019

https://www.livescience.com/first-case-coronavirus-found.html

A 55-year-old individual from Hubei province in China may have been the first person to have contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus spreading across the globe. That case dates back to Nov. 17, 2019, according to the South Morning China Post.

[wnylib]

77. I was reading online responses to

editorials in my local newspaper this morning. Some well informed posters there, but also some frightening ignorance and stupidity.

One guy said the 19 stood for the 19th coronavirus discovered. That was his "proof" that we have survived coronaviruses before so this one is no different. Therefore, it is all Democratic hype to smear Trump in the election.

With this kind of stupidity, what chance do we have of containing it?

Another poster pointed out the origin of 19 and that there are hundreds of coronaviruses, but each is different. He gave more info, statistics, etc. but responses were politically oriented.

Hard to explain the science to people who can't understand it and are emotionally commited to Trumpism.

[DENVERPOPS]

46. Indeed

If only: IGNORANCE WAS PAINFUL............

Now, once again, we know how trump got to stay president......

[gristy]

8. Your one anecdotal republican friend has no bearing on anything.

Much less on determining as to whether we are all doomed or not.

But yes, I do agree he is stupid.

[Skittles]

18. look for the stats on repukes refusing to self-distance

it boggles the mind

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. Anybody who deliberately coughs in a person's face or tries to infect them is guilty of assault.

There will have to be charges brought and convictions to get their attentions.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

74. well, as long as they keep their mingling amongst themselves,

[Eko]

22. Of course it has bearing.

There is someone out there that is so stupid they would think that. The doomed part was facetious as it was not the subject of this email and should have been apparent.
Thanks,
Eko

[RockRaven]

9. Sounds like a good candidate with which to practice your social distancing.

Practice makes perfect.

[Journeyman]

10. Oooh. Obama! . . .

[Hoyt]

11. Sounds like those GOPers who think Obama is responsible for 9/11.

[Doreen]

72. Oh come on, he is responsible for the Black Plague.

I heard he was the one who crucified Jesus.

Of course its his fault.

[essme]

87. You know he created AIDS and was a friend of Hitler, right? nt

[DBoon]

95. Well he traveled back in time to plant a fake birth anouncement

Obama is one clever dude

[lunasun]

12. That person is lost forever because brain dead now

[dchill]

56. Yep. And that's a whole other virus.

[alterfurz]

96. Patient Zero

[dchill]

97. He is SO Patient Zero.

Like the world has never seen!

[Different Drummer]

14. I can believe it.

Trumpers will say/do anything to defend It.

[Cha]

15. SHow him this.. and it's 101 Brainwashing by the demon..

Link to tweet

[bdamomma]

16. fucking

brainwashed by this POS.


Evil beyond words, totally destroying and taking revenge on all of us. But his cult members continue to believe every word he says.

I hope the stock market crashes again.

[brush]

17. Anything but blame that orange pustule in office for 3 plus years.

[AllaN01Bear]

19. someone at church screamed that this is a farce and is just the flu.

under obama this would never have happened .
and the idiot fired the wh pandemic response team.
and they complain we dems politicise this .

[ramen]

20. Holy shit.

Do they think that this administration has test kits and cures ready for diseases that don't exist yet because of the stock market, can I guess?

[yaesu]

21. and this is the reason I don't have any tRumpster friends & have divorced tRumpster family. nt

[SWBTATTReg]

24. They'll stop their ranting and raving at Obama and democrats when they realize that ...

democrats, republicans, and independents start dying (heaven pls. no, my own prayers!), regardless of political bent...time to put the crap aside and get serious.). That's the problem that allowed this to go on so long, that they ignored the peril at their own risk (rump and cronies) and why we're seeing so many of them come down sick already...they're ignored it.

It looks like rump and republicans kind of finally got the message to step aside and let far more competent people step forward (Dr. Fauci, others).

[AlexSFCA]

25. why Obama didn't use time machine is beyond me

[Eko]

27. Best reply so far.

Thanks!

[ProfessorGAC]

94. Like In Independence Day...

...even the president doesn't know about the alien time machine at Area 51!

[bucolic_frolic]

26. Neither did Reagan, and Trump's had 3 years to remedy the situation

for the virus that started last October

[LisaM]

29. What do you expect)

This is a gang that put laid more blame.foe deaths in Benghazi than more than 3000 deaths on 9/11. They accept zero responsibility for anything.

[sinkingfeeling]

30. I'd thank him for admitting that President Obama was/is the most

powerful person to ever exist. He should have developed tests for undiscovered and nonexistent viruses years ago.

[mucifer]

33. why didn't he have test kits for a disease that didn't exist?

[TNNurse]

34. Did you ask if he thinks Obama was so smart , he could predict this unknown virus in the future???

Damn, that is impressive for him to think that well of him. Who knew??

You could also ask if he thinks "test kits" are universal to any disease. Because that would show he is really really ignorant.

[Downtown Hound]

36. Why is he still your friend?

You are who you hang with. I ditched my Trump cultist friends within days of him winning the presidency, and I find I don't miss them at all. Every once in awhile I check their facebook feeds, and they are just as dumb and ignorant as ever. Good riddance.

People need to pay a price for destructive behavior. If we just keep indulging them in it and pretend like everything is okay while their stupidity gets people killed, then at some point we're responsible for not standing up to them and very forcefully letting them know that what they're doing is not okay.

Food for thought.

[MLAA]

40. I did that as well, including my dentist

[Turin_C3PO]

43. I've had to step

back from my aunt and uncle. They’re very smart people who, nonetheless, still support Trump. My grandpa does too but he’s 87 and I’ve been close to him all my life. I give him a pass. Maybe I shouldn’t but I do.

[Downtown Hound]

50. It's harder with family than it is with friends, I'll grant you that.

You get to choose your friends, you don't get to choose your family.

[Eko]

44. What?

I am not who I hang with, don't be preposterous. I am not indulging them by any means, what makes you think I am? Same for standing up to them, what makes you think I am not.

[Downtown Hound]

49. If a "friend" sent that to me right now, my response to him would be something along the lines of,

"You clearly have absolutely zero sense of responsibility, morality, basic common sense, intelligence, or decency. Do not contact me again under any circumstances until you've developed those qualites as a person. It's bad enough I have to share a country with so many selfish, idiotic morons like you. There is no way in hell I am sharing my friend circle with them. Goodbye and good riddance."

But that's just me. But like I said, until these assholes actually face some real consquences for being the idiots they are, then they will continue to do so. And if they continue to do so, then you're not really standing up to them.

Just my two cents.

[Doodley]

58. Is that how you treat your friends? With insults and judgmental self-righteousness?

[Downtown Hound]

59. No, because the friends I choose to have are not people that I would ever have to say things like

Last edited Sun Mar 15, 2020, 08:08 PM - Edit history (1)

that to. I make sure they are quality people with good values and sound heads before I let them into my friend group.

[Eko]

86. The fact that you can get all of that from one sentence is amazing.

We all bow down to you.

[Downtown Hound]

88. Your friend. Enjoy him. n/t

[Eko]

89. I will.

Hopefully one day I can be as perfected as you to where all my friends believe as I do. Thank you for being the example for all of us to follow.

[MLAA]

39. How did you answer? 😬

[Eko]

42. Here,

You cant make test kits for a virus that you don’t know about. SMH.

[stillcool]

41. Oh wow....they didn't know?

The NSC pandemic unit was soooo close...and then their buddy Trump shut it down

[Nay]

45. You know, it's time. It's time to divide the United States into 2 or 3 separate

countries. Let the wingers have one, the science- and fact-based have another, and a third for people who can't make up their goddamned minds. I'm so sick of this shit.

[johnnyknj]

47. Humanity is a wondrous thing.

How rational people can be friends with people that stupid is miraculous.

[House of Roberts]

53. It's that fucked up empathy thing we all have (and they don't).

We just can't help feeling sorry for them.

[SergeStorms]

48. And why didn't Obama....

cure cancer, for chrisakes! The nerve of that man. Thank Dog for Donald Trump!

EXTREME

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

51. No, but your galactically stupid Republican friend might be.

[House of Roberts]

52. What is the shelf life for any virus vaccine?

When they do manufacture vaccines for flu virus, the current vaccine is usually effective for maybe one third of the infected population.

You can't really develop an effective vaccine without cultures of what you are fighting, and then you have to deal with mutations.

[hay rick]

54. The correct response to your friend's remark:

The Obama administration didn't have test kits ready for future problems because the Bush administration didn't leave them with any test kits for future problems. Fight stupid with stupid.

[calimary]

55. Sounds like another inhabitant of Dumbfuckistan.

[Maggiemayhem]

57. You should practice social distancing

[stonecutter357]

60. Is your friend a racist like trump ?

[Eko]

83. No.

[stonecutter357]

84. Does he know trump is a racist ?

[Eko]

85. He is not sure.

He thinks it becoming more of a possibility though.

[brewens]

61. Oh. Just any old test kit would work on any virus. I did not know that. Yeah, we should have had

a couple hundred million stashed in that case.

[athenasatanjesus]

62. When he argues against Democrats and for Republicans what does he think he is arguing?

Which side would have test kits before a crisis is one of the main arguments.

[Warpy]

63. Did you give an answer or was your ghasted too flabbered?

There were, in fact, a limited supply of SARS tests on the shelf. This virus is not SARS.

[Flaleftist]

64. I know a Trumper who blames Obama for the last recession.

Yes. They are that stupid.

[warmfeet]

65. Nothing will ever change with these assholes.

Incremental change is just not cutting it. A larger jump may be required. I have no republican friends, that is a deal breaker for me. Others can be more accepting. I cannot, apparently.

[iluvtennis]

66. keep in their heads in the sand and not putting on their critical thinking caps, so very sad.

[paleotn]

69. Idiocracy was a documentary of 21st century America

[DSandra]

70. America, charting new frontiers in stupidity

Is it time for America to separate into the U.S. of Canada and Jesusland?

[sakabatou]

71. Yep, there's a bunch of stupidity

[Beacool]

73. They are brainwashed lemmings.

They believe anything spewed by RW media and the liar-in-chief.

[marble falls]

75. My neighbor said he hopes he gets the virus during tick season so he could have ...

corona with Lyme. I was surprised how busy the restaurant is next door. We may flatten the curve but these Trumpers are going to lengthen it.

[heckles65]

76. It's amazing how fast

it went from "it's a hoax!" to "it's a disaster and it's all the Democrats' fault." -About the time the buying panic depleted toilet paper supplies, and the emergency became undeniable.

[Bengus81]

78. Yeah!! Why didn't Obama/Biden already have a vaccine!!!!

And...even in pill form on the shelves of your local CVS.

[liberal N proud]

80. They get this tripe strait from the propaganda network

[orleans]

81. why are you still friends? n/t

[Eko]

82. Because while they might be ignorant in some things

on a whole they are a good person.

[backscatter712]

90. Beam me up, Scotty. There is no intelligent life on this planet.

[TruckFump]

91. Right, test kits for a virus which did not exist at the time.

MAGAts are a totally new form of stupid.

[raccoon]

93. Trump always blames other people, so I guess his idiot supporters

Will do the same thing.

[dchill]

98. Everything is beyond this person.
