For fun, alsocheck out the 57-page memo from the GOP, instructing their candidates about how best to blame China:

The bullshit is mounting.

said that the virus appears to have originated form the lab in Wuhan, and the head of the IC has confirmed that they had begun looking into it a few days before. We also know that China has been carrying out an active "blame the US" campaign even though they are clearly in the wrong.
And your link is from anonymous sources in the Main Stream Media. Don't you ever learn?!
I know the answer and so does China - you TDS people don't want the truth, you want to get Trump.
This post is utterly unworthy of you.
China has acted egregiously without any quaetion. They blocked travel out of Wuhan to their own country, but allowed international travel. They hid the epidemic and faked data to the WHO which caused the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives world wide.
The doctor who broke the cover up to the world mysteriously died shortly thereafter even though he was low risk and appeared to be quite healthy just days before he "died of the virus".
what on earth are you thinking. TDS is a real disease, and you have it.

He banned travel to China in Jan when the Left opposed the move and the media lambasted him for it. helped avoid an all at once, overwhelming catastrophe. Fabulous leadership there.
Got governors their requested ventilators and supplies and tests - the infrastructure to do so had to be created from scratch as nobody had ever set this up before.
He developed the strongest economy in memory,and the only economy that could possibly weather such a storm. he's the guy I want to rebuild it in the future regardless of however many times his tweets get the Left's undies in a bunch.

predicted back in March that this very phenomenon of TDS among some on the Left, combined with the constant 24/7 antiTrump propaganda and spread of fear abouth the virus would be our biggest obstacle to recovery once the real danger had passed (having our hospitals overwhelmed since exposure was already inevitable).
I was right.
China is caught dabbling in forbidden biowarfare, and covers it up, fakes data, tries to expose the rest of the world for it's own gain - see link - they even applied for a patent on a med that they could sell to the world at the price of their choosing all during the time that they were still covering it up.
The ODNI admits that they are now looking into it, and then Trump reveals their findings at a presser. The SOS also confirms that this was the information gleaned from the investigation. You then choose to believe an unsourced msm overseas media story that defends China. You, a guy who has said to trust the professionals.
You would believe unsourced media over your own government that a nefarious country known for lying and killing is innocent. That's TDS man.

It’s quite possible to acknowledge that China screwed the world over royally AND that Trump slept through February.
It’s not mutually exclusive, for some of us.
were specifically choosing to believe unsourced foreign msm sources over your own country's POTUS, SOS, and ODNI, and choosing to accept that information even though the country of China has been proven to habitual liars and killers, and even though the country is known to be using those media sources as a means to spread propaganda against the US as a countpropaganda measure.
There is a big difference between saying Trump did a bad job in February with COVID (surprise), and saying that your own government is lying to you, and taking the side of the despotic communist country instead of the United States.
I fully agree that China's guilt in this is independent of Trump's response, but if you really believe that, then why would you possibly believe this tripe?
I can think of 2 reasons:
1) You so distrust Trump that you automatically believe the opposite - but this also requires doing so with the ODNI and the SOS in this case (and you have previously argued extensively about the professionalism of these people).
2) You don't really believe that China's guilt is separate from how Trump is perceived. You believe that if China is uncovered as the real villain of subterfuge that people won't blame Trump for this crisis which you are relying on to take him down in the Fall given that all else has failed.
You fear that people would realize that nobody could have anticipated this crisis because of China's subterfuge. In essence, at your core, there is still a component of Go Virus, Beat trump, and even Go China, Beat Trump if necessary.
I think both 1 and 2 can also both be true at the same time.
I am channeling DimBasil by asking. But I actually am curious about what is wrong with it. Do Democrats ever assemble this kind of talking point memo? I don't see any egregious factual errors. Sure, there's a lot of spin...but I think Nancy P and Chuckie S may occasionally spin things as well?
