Good plan, they have an absolutely monster new strain - I even recommend people wear masks even if vaccinated in case the new strain breaks through.

It's possible this new strain, because of the population of India and maybe western China... could kill 1 billion.

He was against it before he was for it! >_> idk, like most politics, something is only "wrong" when the other party does it.

In general, this is kinda going to be the new normal for years to come because we're not going to really have a handle on it.

Pretty big difference between trying to ban brown people because "crime", and restricting travel from a country experiencing a massive uptick in covid infections to slow or stop the spread into the US.

Biden's travel ban is aimed at sick people. Trump's travel ban was specifically aimed at countries with a Muslim majority.

Only one of those is xenophobic, and here's a hint for the morons: it ain't Biden's

To add, Trump's travel ban, if not "racist" & xenophobic, was ill-conceived at best:

To clarify, I meant Bidens "hysterical xenophobia" tweet shortly after Trumps travel ban to China in Feb last year, not the "Muslim" ban (that only covered like 10% of Muslim countries and included North Korea & Venezuela for some reason)

But yeah, that's politics for you, Trump would've received a lot of backlash if he pulled the same thing

Yawn

  • Biden has not directly said that the restrictions were xenophobic.
  • Around the time the Trump administration announced the travel restriction, Biden said that Trump had a record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering.
  • Biden used the phrase xenophobic in reply to a Trump tweet about limiting entry to travelers from China and in which Trump described the coronavirus as the Chinese virus. Biden did not spell out which part of Trumps tweet was xenophobic.
Further on,

On March 18, Trump tweeted: "I always treated the Chinese Virus very seriously, and have done a very good job from the beginning, including my very early decision to close the borders from China - against the wishes of almost all. Many lives were saved. The Fake News new narrative is disgraceful & false!"

Biden replied the same day: "Stop the xenophobic fear-mongering. Be honest. Take responsibility. Do your job."

The tweet that Biden responded to included the phrase "Chinese virus," which experts say could foster discrimination toward people of Chinese or Asian origin.

Also, with regards to the "China ban", that too was poorly implemented:

But keep trying, TC. I'm sure one of the resident dummies will try to back up some of your bullshit. Then you can feel validated and special, even if you are wrong.

If you want to make a legitimate argument you can say that this travel ban is too weak because it also lets US citizens/residents return to the US making the restriction less useful

(This criticism also was applied to trump's travel ban)

Yup. People weren't calling Trump's China ban racist (maybe a few extremists, but that goes w/ anything), they were saying it was too weak and too late.
Which is also true of Biden's India ban.

India has such an amazing history and culture, and so many potential great spots for tourism. But yeah, any time I ever think of going, I start thinking of the water and sanitation situation and immediately nope the fuck out of ever wanting to visit. No travel experience is worth getting grievously ill over. What they've done to the Ganges River is absolutely disgusting. Saw a video recently on it, and even some of their medical doctors are claiming the river water is magical and can "heal itself". O_O

Yeah, from all the pictures I seen of the country there does not seem to be much of a cultural disposition to throw things in the rubbish bin. Littering & dumping seem to be national pastime and place looks like a landfill. I would feel like I am lucky if all I catch from that country is a new strain of covid.

This. You can tell from the get-go. People who use Trumpisms like "Sleepy Joe" are so weakminded and brainwashed it's not worth engaging with them in the first place.

What a weaselly defense. After a certain point, you're better off just going with a "yes, but..." instead of trying to jump through all of those hoops on a conciliatory denial.

Whoa whoa whoa. Change their mind? What kind of commie nonsense is that? Everyone knows that once a politician states a position, that is the only opinion they are ever allowed to hold, no matter what new information they receive or what changes around them. Otherwise, they're just hypocrites and must be discredited with this information at every possible opportunity.

India is fucking amazing!

Its filled with so many wonderful people willing to help Americans avoid jail time by having them pay the IRS with $3,000 worth of Applebees gift cards.

Lets not forget help remove viruses from your PC for a small fee of $150.

And those are just a few ways that they work hard to make the world a better place. Its really sad to hear whats happening over there, and I dont view it as karma in any way, shape or form.
