I give up "they" are all going to get sick and or die from "the beast."

Ohio in it's "opening things back up" today allowed some restaurants and bars to open up,
I stopped by my local Fox News /Trump loving bar to get an Italian sub (best in the world)
on my way home and stood outside in in the light rain @ >10' to the next person and got hammered
with "why the mask?" (which I took off to drink my beer but @ a social distance), it is no worse
then the flue, go to church if you are scared, and all the time many were less then 3' apart.

I have known some of these people for years but they are gone.

You are gonna have to go to the twitter link for the videos

Trump, "The germ has gotten so brilliant that you go to the hospital for a heart surgery
and that is no problem but then you get a problem and that us a problem."

This C-19 nightmare was so preventable

Trump shut down something that very well could have caught and stopped C-19 because
the project was "the black guy's idea."

Trump criticizes Fauci's Senate testimony: 'Not an acceptable answer'

Source: NBC

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Wednesday criticized comments Dr. Anthony Fauci made during a Tuesday congressional hearing about the risks of reopening the country too soon as "not an acceptable answer."

"He wants to play all sides of the equation," Trump said of Fauci, before emphasizing his confidence that the economy would quickly rebound from the pandemic.

"I think we're going to have a tremendous fourth quarter," Trump said.

"My concern, that if some areas, city, states or what have you jump over those various checkpoints and prematurely open up without having the capability of being able to respond effectively and efficiently, my concern is that we will start to see little spikes that might turn into outbreaks," Fauci said in response to a question from Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.

I hate Mika Brzezinski ... She is a piece shit.

She just had to bring up Tara Reade even though she and her story have been totally discredited.
Both of Reade's lawyers work either for Trump and or Vlad Putin but Mika just had to end an interview
with multiple reporters and writers with, "Well do you think that Tara Reade will drag down Joe Biden?"
(very very rough quote)

She might as well go and work @ Fox.

Virus question.

Is the virus coming into the meat pack plants on the animals or with the employees?

We are going to be at 80,000 deaths from C-19 by the end of tomorrow and we will pass ...

.... the total # of Americans who died in WW I by the end of the month. BTW that figure is
116,000. And Fox News and 35% (guess) of Americans still support Trump. This is madness.

Why is Trump still in the White House? I know it is useless but still please call your senators
and congress critters and demand Trump's removal.

CONCLUSION/ A significant percentage of the U.S. COVID-19 outbreak is attributable to a federal response hobbled by Trump's secret side communications with China. That changed only in March—after it was too late.

This! Trump's corrupt relationship with China helped the spread of C-19

Never, ever forget: Trump's corrupt relationship with China

killed tens of thousands of Americans by enabling the pandemic to spread.

This Seth Abramson thread is astounding.

Do you think Trump and Pence are getting convalescent plasma treatments*?

* You harvest the antibodies from somebody who survived C-19 and give them to a patient
via a transfusion. Now how many people who have tested positive for the virus have been
around Trump and Pence?


This has shown to be a very effective treatment but it is not practical on a large scale.
