[bigtree]

Trump says the November 3 election will "decide whether we end the pandemic" or not, meaning that re-electing him will end the pandemic that has caused 200,000 confirmed deaths under him and is not close to ending.

5. Then shouldn't the people sitting behind him take off their masks?

I mean, what's the harm?

6. Dumb Nazi

7. He's blaming the dead for dying. Not his fault, you see. Nothing he did or didn't do hurt people.

They were already sick to begin with.

Otherwise, they would not have died.

8. How stupid to you have to be, to be a Trump supporter?

This stupid.

Wouldn't it be great if those fake mask wearing Trumplican's MAGA masks were made such that, over a short time, the chemical engineering of the mask dissolves the MAGA, the red turned blue, and, the new message reads "I'm for stupid!"

11. Guardian - Trump falsely claims virus affects 'virtually' no young, as US nears 200,000 deaths

Trump claimed the US has “among the lowest case fatality rates of any country in the world.” This is not true: The US has one of the highest fatality rates per 100,000 population, at 57.97. Here is a map from Our World in Data of the rates per million:

14. Trump meant that generally, even though he lied beforehand about children

...it's not true that he just directed that comment to children catching the virus, even though that is also a lie.

The Guardian lede is false, likely the spin Trump flacks will use to try and clean this up tomorrow.

13. My 9 1/2-year-old twin great nieces didn't enjoy being tested for it last week.

It hurt, but the test was necessary because one of their school friends had it. Fortunately, they were negative, but it was a scary experience. Spanky wouldn't understand that, of course, because it's not about him.

15. they need to just shut them down

...they aren't giving parents and even teachers information about infected children and others and even at that, numbers reported are rising in almost every segment of the country where schools are opening.

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. I thoroughly agree.

The girls are in a hybrid school, but just those 2 1/2 hours a day are scary.

[Initech]

16. But it's affected literally every single person on this planet.

There's not one aspect of life that hasn't been affected by this shitty virus. Not one.

17. How low have we gone that this is now the norm? No outrage by the media or lawmakers.

Come on, Biden!
Do something!

24. His event on Sunday was excellent

And he is expanding his turf. One reason to expand turf is coat tail effect. May not win, but will bring down ballot races up.

But Trump has rallies ever single day. But Trump's a PT Barnum. And you know what PT Barnum used to say......

25. national elections, presidential elections aren't won with rallies

...there are virtual connections to be made, not the retail pressing of the flesh of primaries.

Look at the fundraising (and the consistent polling advantages in key states) and you'll see our party and nominee are reaching actual voters, not just a rabid mob of ignoramuses.
