His order temporarily barred entry by foreign nationals who had traveled in China within the previous 14 days, with exceptions for U.S. citizens, but also their immediate family and permanent residents.
...
TRUMP: “In January I put – and I was criticized by everybody including Dr. Fauci — I put in a wall. We put in a very strong wall. Only a small number of people were allowed in, and they were all U.S. citizens. I can’t tell a U.S. citizen, you can’t come back into your country.
The tragedy (or the farce, I suppose) is that Trump clearly learned the right lesson from the Muslim Travel Ban debacle. I think it is unfair to lay the US COVID outbreak at his feet.
It is easy enough to imagine a counterfactual 9-11 style air travel shutdown in January, but it would have (justifiably) seemed absurd and tyrannical.
HAIL!
Her needs America so they won't just take his shit away like in some pussy non gun totting countries can happen.

I wouldn't disagree with that.
Claiming that Trump banned travel from China is misinformed though and suggesting his ''ban'' was an effective halt on the spread of COVID is clearly nonsense.
Especially when he then continued to downplay the virus and was still allowing travel from Italy when they were approaching their peak of deaths.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

I never said he did nothing. I've said he did nothing effective.
he's done nothing but deny that it's serious, push quack medicines and attack the experts.
He certainly never banned flights from China or anywhere else for that matter.
Tens of thousands of Americans have returned from China since Jan' 31st (via non-direct routes) and been allowed to travel freely across the country.
Did you read your own quote. You never used the word effective. You said he did nothing but....and then listed a few items. None of those items related to limiting travel. Stop changing your story every time you get caught making shit up.
January 31: Trump blocks travel from China
Trump issues an executive order blocking entry to the US from anyone who has been in China in the last 14 days. It does not apply to US residents and family members or spouses of US residents or citizens.
The order becomes effective on February 2.
That does not fall under denying it is serious, pushing quack medicines, or attacking experts.

Who is claiming it was effective?

I dunno, but the so-called travel ban is all anyone's ever got when you suggest that Trump did fuck all except downplay the virus, push quack cures and discredit the experts.

I don't think anything that you could lay an actual charge against happened.
are you aware of any of this monte? if not,
why not?
Investigators are looking into suspicions by Flynn's legal team that President Obama directed FBI Director James Comey and Acting AG Sally Yates to investigate Flynn, using the Logan Act as predication, the day after the FBI closed a counterintelligence case on him.
James Comey already admitted the manner in which he set up the FBI meeting with General Flynn was deliberately not done by the book. So why would anyone believe Susan Rice’s odd, CYA, last-day memo to herself?
Declassified Susan Rice Email Confirms Michael Flynn Was Personally Targeted In Oval Office Meeting
https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/19/br ... e-meeting/
The newly declassified portions of the Jan. 5 Rice email confirm that the targeting of Flynn was coordinated within the inner sanctum of the White House and that both Obama and Biden were deeply involved in the campaign to take down Flynn.
^^the entire article is worth reading
nothing?
as i've said, i don't think obama goes to jail. doesn't negate the fact that #obamagate is a real thing. response?

The outgoing administration was concerned that someone they deemed was unreliable, and potentially speaking out of school with a somewhat hostile foreign diplomat, had been tapped by the incoming administration for a high office.
Where's the 'gate,' bruh?

Sorry Mike, I'm at my juggling convention all this week so I couldn't be bothered to read it. If you'd laid out what you thought were chargeable offences first I might have read the article and responded.
