White House advisors are kickin it into high gear!!

As the pandemic cripples parts of America, Politico reports that four senior Trump officials — Jared Kushner, Mark Meadows, Kayleigh McEnany, and Hope Hicks — think it's a bad idea for Trump to talk about the virus that's killed more than 126,000.

The Trump campaign is actually wasting money trying to win converts on MSNBC. They'd be better off petitioning the Pope for Sainthood for Jeffrey Epstein.

I laugh like crazy whenever they run one of those ads. I consider the money they're flushing down the toilet and jump for joy. I hope they run those ads on a continuous loop, 24/7. Good luck with that, Little Donnie.

that was my first reaction, but I'm at an age where too much tension, including hate, is counter-productive to my good health. I'm a firm believer that I can't control what people do, but I can control my reaction to what they do. I then decided it was better to laugh at the morons than get angey with them.

So see, my original attitude was no better than yours. Believe me, no one will ever nominate me for sainthood.

It looks like the virus will be talking more and getting louder and louder as we go forward. It is winning, so far.

The silence will become thunderous for most Americans. Only the deluded MAGATs on their trail of Darwinian self-selection for possible extinction will take the silence as meaning something else. He will just be playing to a dwindling base in that case.

It's the other hyper-Fascist strategies coming that are going to represent our target, struggle and fight to the finish line.

They are the lazy pseudo-rich.

These doorknobs take "whistling past the graveyard" to unheard of heights. "Shhhhh.....if we don't mention it I'm sure they'll forget by election day". These people were totally unqualified for the positions they cheated to attain. Almost four years later and they still don't know the first thing about running a government.

22. Fauci Says U.S. Could Reach 100,000 Virus Cases a Day as Warnings Grow Darker
Wed Jul 1, 2020, 12:14 AM

Ignore it .... Great plan! We could be looking @ > 1,000,000 deaths from C-19.


WASHINGTON — The government’s top infectious disease expert said on Tuesday that the rate of new coronavirus infections could more than double to 100,000 a day if current outbreaks were not contained, warning that the virus’s march across the South and the West “puts the entire country at risk.”

Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, offered the grim prediction while testifying on Capitol Hill, telling senators that no region of the country is safe from the virus’s resurgence. The number of new cases in the United States has shot up by 80 percent in the past two weeks, according to a New York Times database, with new hot spots flaring far from the Sun Belt epicenters.

“I can’t make an accurate prediction, but it is going to be very disturbing, I will guarantee you that,” Dr. Fauci said, “because when you have an outbreak in one part of the country, even though in other parts of the country they are doing well, they are vulnerable.”

New flash points have weighed down talk of a resumption of normal life and a quick economic rebound. The chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome H. Powell, issued his own gloomy assessment, cautioning lawmakers on Tuesday of an “extraordinarily uncertain” moment facing the American economy.
