The lack of outrage from a single ReTHUG is disturbing

If a Muslim had killed five people they'd be all over our TV screens. Not one has spoken out about the Con ignoring the seriousness of this virus for 70 fucking days - yes 70 fucking days. He even had time to make a trip to India.

affecting the "unwashed masses" takes away his concentration on his golf game. He managed to pack in several golf outings (otherwise known as "filling the tRump coffers&quot while people were dying. The gop must still be enjoying their donations of rubles from his good buddy Vlad. Putin is taking over this country, without wasting a single missile. All he had to do was flatter the pudgy arsed orange carbunkle, and the game was on. That, plus spread many rubles among the willing gop. A group of them even visited him in Russia last 4th of July. A "Thank You" delegation perhaps?

For saying or doing nothing to stop trump now knowing how much its hurt this country, and knowing he's the greatest national security risk this country has ever seen, and are doing nothing . They will regret their actions helping him, and for not doing anything now, except listening to his lying, and repeating them for him now too. If they don't dump trump on their ballot, thy'll be destroyed next election. That's why they'll try to prevent it from happening, they know whats coming for them too.

but Dr. Trump knew more than that Lib organization and refused the tests so that he could give out tests that didn't work.

Trump does not want massive testing, it will hurt his image. Our numbers are way higher than are being reported because people are not being tested.

I hope this works, could not paste it, asked him to use his influence to stop the PTB to quit showing the lies and distortions of Trump. They already have the blood from Iraq on their hands.

To show the lies and distortions.

3 times this morning they have mentioned Trump telling people to use hydroxychloroquine

Something is going on behind the scenes. We WILL find out. Hopefully it will be before the next election. Gop proves every time that they can not lead, they put in fools at the WH, and expect good results. Maybe tRump and Dubya really were the "cream of the gop crop", as dumb as they are?

That IS how bad it is, how stupid they are!

Fox has told them to be outraged about Gov. Cuomo. Don't you know that he is a "whiner"?

Yesterday hubs was walking our dogs by a neighbor's who was in his yard. Just out of the blue the winger yelled, "Cuomo is just a whiner."
Major trigger. Hubs went off on him. I've been telling the hubs that the neighbor is a Fux-bot.

FUX "news" IS THE PROBLEM. RW RADIO IS THE PROBLEM. We will not turn the tide until the FCC reenact the Fairness Doctrine.

I had called to let them know the trash truck was now running early because the site closed at 3.

Next thing I knew he was ringing my doorbell. Things going fine until he started ranting about Pelosi holding up his check. I tried to explain she was making sure there was worker protection included. He then said of people did not get that check there would be hoards of people coming from waving his hands at the end of a short street. There is a small woods there. In 40 years all I have seen are deer walking down the street as if out for their morning walk,just like me. . He went down my steps waving his hands that he did not want to hear me!

I did notice he brought my trash cans up to my garage door later. Ashamed?

they've dumped their stock while telling everyone else it's OK. They were openly encouraging people to go out to local restaurants, cruises, congregate in crowds, etc.

They're actually dumb enough to believe it disproportionately impacts Dems in cities. Even though it's in rural areas, they know it screws hard the poorer and minority communities in the South who often have pre-existing conditions and less likely to have insurance, or would have lost their jobs now.

They actually believe that if they have money and privilege, they'll survive this while others die. Except many wealthy have died from it already even with the best care money can buy.
