Whether that’s true or not, it isn’t relevant to your claim.
Mosaic theory is based on information. I’m asking what information – you know: proof, or, at least, evidence – goes into your mosaic theory.
So far, you’ve offered nothing.
Once again, that’s not relevant to the issue of whether a Democratic governor deciding not to reopen his or her state is political. Please try to focus.
Which might be easier to believe if you offered even a scintilla of evidence.
Can you offer even one, single bit of evidence that keeping states closed is political? Just one?
From what I’ve seen the fake news and the libs have been actively trying to tear the president down.
Poll numbers, which were supposed to be independent, were all biased in one direction.
The way the Coronavirus was covered was a disgrace. They first claimed Trump was racist in January, encouraging people to gather and meet up, then now they are saying he did not do enough, soon enough.
The estimates of deaths, ventilators, hospital beds, and other supplies needed were grossly overestimated.
These are facts. The way I use these in mosaic is I think, it’s fine to make to make estimates, I want to see how they pan out. With hindsight, nearly every single story or non-story the press ran was a negative for President Trump.
How many of these stories are a positive for Trump vs. negative? Compare that to the Obama’s handling of H1N1.
If these people are not colluding and not having a bias, some estimates would favor and some would not favor Trump.
Because of what I’ve seen, I believe the openings of the states are political because it seems like lib areas are wanting to stay shut and the right wants to open up. You’re asking for proof that, if true, would never show the light of day, unless leaked. Even if it was leaked, it would be buried and not covered by the fake news outlets (like how crooked hillary got debate questions ahead of time).
I think I follow it close enough that I can have an informed opinion.
In summary, the libs and the fake news has been on record actively trying to tear down Trump which leads me to believe the decision to open and close states is based on the same thinking.
Governor Newsom of California gives a coronavirus briefing every weekday at noon. He has set out specific criteria, based, as far as I can tell, on sound, scientific reasoning, for reopening businesses in the state. It will be done in phases, and it will take time. To me, that sounds like he’s concerned with the health of Californians, not with attacking president Trump.
I don’t know whether other Democratic governors are using similar reasoning, but they might be.
The guidelines put forth by the CDC suggest that reopening businesses now is premature.
I also don’t know, for sure, why so many Republican governors are not using similar reasoning, but I strongly suspect that that’s political.
So . . . your “they’re-trying-to-get-Trump-and-are-willing-to-kill-the-country-to-do-so” is one interpretation; my “they’re-trying-to-keep-their-residents-alive” is another. For whatever it’s worth, I do see yours as particularly harsh: Democrats (or your pejorative, “libs”) willingly sacrificing the lives of citizens to win an election?
You equate things like polling numbers and media coverage to governors’ decisions to delay reopening businesses. I don’t see any causal link there.
In any case, I do appreciate your position, and I do appreciate you taking the time to put together a thoughtful reply to my question. I simply disagree with your interpretation of the evidence.
It seems like all of the forecasts given so far, also based off scientific reasoning, have been to paint Trump in the worst possible light, and I don’t see how this new forecast is any different.
Speaking of governors… Cuomo of NY is on record for calling the COVID-19 virus (i think that’s what it’s supposed to be called), just this week, the “European Virus”. I can almost guarantee, he didn’t come up with that himself. Trump was blasted by the media for calling it the “Chinese Virus” why aren’t they on Cuomo’s back?
Things like this along with many other things I’ve seen, influence my opinion on the credibility of the reopening decision. Where there’s smoke there’s fire, as they say. He’s obviously trying to do something and I can’t ignore it.
new york literally was the hardest hit. one of the only states where the death rate is actually falling now. if there was anyone who handled this poorly. itd be him. still rising in cali and illois. lets be real. usa really is represented by those 3 states. all you other states are just fillers.
Yours is an interesting question. My suspicion is that it would stem from Cuomo being of European descent. For example, I think that someone of Chinese descent calling it the Chinese virus would be given a lot more leeway than someone of European descent calling it the Chinese virus.
Not even if he threatens to hold his breath until he dies. (Which, by the way, wouldn’t happen; he’d lapse into unconsciousness and start breathing spontaneously.)
I saw a headline today (which I can no longer find) to the effect that Trump said that he hopes that Biden is not guilty of sexual assault (or something along those lines).
If I interpreted the headline accurately, that’s a strong statement from Trump; good for him.
I hope that that means that he’ll remain silent on the subject during debates, and that his campaign ads will do likewise.
He knows… just like the founding fathers knew they were going to face hell against Great Britain. Any time you take power from an establishment and give it back to the people, they’re going to try to tear you down.
He isn’t being president for himself, he’s doing it to Make America Great Again and will be remembered as a hero when it’s all said and done.
President Trump knows and understands what is good and right for America. All those who oppose him (Democrats and fake news) are the evil ones who would undermine the country, and cost countless lives in trying to gain power. God bless President Trump for finding the courage to stand up to these would-be tyrants.
