"Flu d'etat" is how I heard someone characterized the Democ-rat weaponizing of the coronavirus pandemic.

It's not pandemic, it's dempanic

Awesome, comment of the day!!

BOINGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!

Can I use it?

Good one, I like it a lot.

I've been calling it tha "panic demonic" I think that might be closer to the real root.

It's both

I like it but "WuFlu d'etat"is more in line with this article

One thing VDH missed re the Chinese: Biden has close ties to the Chinese which, pre-COVID, were already going to be highlighted by the Trump campaign. Hence, the worse the Chinese look, the worse it is for Biden.

Sounds like 1.5 billion worth of "quid pro quo" to me.

Or "Quid pro Joe."

Love it!

I also heard it referred to as a scamdemic.

"Flu d' etat" is even more laser-focused.

Greg, you lose all credibility with your use of Democ-rat. Ut shows your lack of self restraint and low information, info silo voter. You think yourself clever but we all know better. While the article made some good points, it also exhibited many of the same failing they accused MSM (no such thing, there is a continuum of bias from left to right.) Yes facts matter, but tinfoil hat conspiracy theories deserve our scorn, and are not on equal footing just because some propose it. All Hail our Lizard Overlords!!!!

I'll tell you this Charlie, Democ-rat or Demon-rat is simply parsing words that mean the same. If you are a thinking individual and after witnessing the traitorous debacle of the last four years and still choose to vote Demon-rat it is only because you are a hate filled anti-American who could never accept the results of a legitimate election and now choose to hitch your wagon to a party of failed conspirators, slanderers and communist sympathizers. Destroy America Vote DemonRat.

To be a DemonRAT and to vote for DemonRATs is to hate America, hate liberty, freedom, free markets, babies in the womb, religion, God, private property and self-reliance. To Vote DemonRAT is to love: slavery, race-based everything, infanticide, perversion, pedophilia, judicial activism, law-breaking, atheism, diktats by unelected "progressive" judges, moral relativism, Machiavellianism, Mass-mudering Socialism and its current proponents, economic ruin, mediocrity and suppression of free speech and religious worship. Thes are quickly becoming provable dogmas. The DemonRATs just threw out in a primary the LAST pro-life person they had in Congress. They tried to remove the word "God" from their platform, last time. No doubt they'll succeed this time unless it's to placate the ISIS supporters among them.

You forgot eating dogs and cats. The Dems overlook the Chinese culture of eating dogs and cats. Savages.

Amen brother!

"Charlie Bird" is a leftist troll. You'll find him, her, it trolling on conservative leaning comic sites on the internet too and usually the first to post. He, she, it goes by multiple names.

Probably on the Soros (or someone him) payroll.

They have one on every conservative website. Insult them and they'll expose themselves.

Wow, talk about fake news. Go ahead Jay and tell us these sites you reference. I do comment on posts on Facebook, no so much RCP or other Disqus sites. And no I use my real name and picture, not like you cowards. So Jay is an outright liar, like your fearful Leader.

Bingo

It's Nathan!!

I wonder how much they pay he/she/zit for each downvote, or is there some standard hourly 'flat rate' for being an annoying imbecile? ;-)

Have you seen Nancy Pelosi lately? Or AOC? Or Cory Booker? Or Biden? If their party don't deserve any form of scorn, derision, even infantile plays on words--you have non sense of proportion. The current leadership (and by extension the current essence of the Democrat party) is indeed demonic.

Well, Nancy was seen showing off her designer ice cream collection and her commercial-sized freezers recently. So much class.........

Here comes Cuomo to the rescue? Exploiting the hell out of this pandemic. His comrades are joining in. In one state you cannot buy a melon because it has seeds in it.

Yes. Isn't it strange that people are waiting for the antichrist ? It's here, big time. Do we need more proof.

"Flu d'etat!"

Dempanic = pandemic

Anyone showing any support for the Democrat Party in its current form is either a believer of corruption and murder (referring to Democrat push for normalizing the killing of babies in the womb) or deluded. Either condition eliminates such supporters as acceptable Americans or humans. Where do you fit into this picture, Charlie?

"....referring to Democrat push for normalizing the killing of babies in the womb..."

And OUT OF THE WOMB ALSO.

Make a note of it.

C'mon man!!!!

Charlie, with your fluffy eloquence, you seem to think yourself clever
as well. But, we can all see that you are just a butthurt
Democ-rat/Demon-rat, trying to shame a patriot. You say the article
made "some" good points, but exhibited many of the same failings they
accuse the MSM [of.]" You are a typical democrat who criticizes people
without providing any evidence whatsoever. If you think the article has
failings, then tell us what they are with some backing evidence! I
doubt we will hear from you.

DemRats!!!

And how do you see yourself, Mr. Bird? Are you offering yourself as our clever, prescient, better, able to see through the tangle and become our interpreter of the 'real' facts. Fear mongering babble and 'lack of self restraint and low information' originates and lives in the leftist media. We don't have time to explain the obvious to you.

Still looking for the /sarc/ tag here but missing it. Where is it hiding?

Just cite the specific failing you mention and explain why Professor Hanson is wrong.

No friend, we don't all know better. Because you declare a reply or article as a tin-fiol hat conspiracy consider the source. VDH has more intellectual prowess in one of his discarded fingernails than most people, including you, have ever seen in their miserable lifetime.

Sorry, your comment and the withering scorn with which you regard the American people, disqualifies you as a serious person. Too bad if you don’t agree with the article. Your opinion isn’t worthy of consideration.

GOLD!

"Flu d'etat". Perfect.

..and still no one has gone to jail or even been charged...

An excellent summary of what has transpired over the past five months. It's amazing to me that we have so many people that are willing to go along with the Democrats err, I mean Chinese. Look up China owned US companies and you'll be shocked to see how much they have infiltrated our society. It's no surprise the Democrats support them as they likely are getting funded by the chi-coms. Last year, Joe Biden told us that China is our friend. China is certainly a friend to his kid who negotiated a $1.5 billion bank transaction with the Chinese government. Funny how Goldman Sachs didn't get the business, but Joe's crackhead kid Hunter gets the deal instead.

As most of us have known, we are at war and the enemy is within, well sort of. It's also China. Democrats, the media, China, they all hate us. China wants global domination and so do Democrats. Perhaps Democrats just don't realize they probably won't beat the Chinese.

Read “Stealth War” and your comments will be affirmed.

Hasn't Trump said nice things about China and their leader. I believe even Ivanka had some patents issued by the Chinese government

But saying nice things to be diplomatic isn’t a bad thing, right? Is Ivanka getting the millions Hunter Biden is for doing nothing? Nope?
It can’t be denied Trump has called out China for their criminal trade practices and fought back by negotiating a new trade deal.
Trump is 100% right to be fighting back too. China is polluting the planet and laughing at the rest of the world. They also illegally devalue their dollar to make competing against their manufacturing impossible.
They’re stealing our technology too.
In a nutshell, they’re evil and our worst enemy. The left’s obsession with Putin and Russian is hysterical foolishness. The left being apologists for China is sick, twisted and evil.

Donald Trump is being uncharacteristically diplomatic with the Chinese because they have threatened to withhold the antibiotics and other lifesaving drugs that they did not, could never, invent, but manufacture with or without permission of the American patent holders. Until we can build and staff our own factories to manufacture pharmaceuticals and their precursors, personal protection gear (which the Chinese are buying from US manufacturers in order to deny them to Americans), and all of the other necessities that we have foolishly outsourced to our sworn enemies, the President has no choice but to play nice. But just wait until we have rebuilt our country as the Arsenal of Liberty. If we are resolute and unified in this (and if pigs fly) it can be accomplished in little time. Then he is far more likely to speak his mind and kick those cheating bass turds out of our markets, out of our universities, and out of our country.

Let's face it, folks:

China is DONE, FINISHED, KAPUT, TERMINATED as an economic powerhouse.

This is the beginning of ending World Poverty(and thus, World Hunger) as plants are moved out of China and installed in different countries all over the world.

Our President will make sure of that.

Saying nice things about China as Trump tanked their economy with his tariffs is acceptable......I could tell you the answer but try something different: do some research. Not left wing propaganda but honest down to earth research.....and learn for yourself why Ivanka pulled the Chinese patents......it's just possible she had good reason to do so.
