Trump: "Those people -- all of those people – excuse me, I’ve condemned neo-Nazis. I’ve condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue of Robert E. Lee."
Trump: "As I said on -- remember, Saturday -- we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America. And then it went on from there. Now, here’s the thing --"
Trump: "So you know what, it’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.
Regarding blm and Antifa riots:
Biden: There is no such thing as antifa. Antifa is an idea, not an organization.

New post on Dennis R. Hill
If we do not care if Trump survives, then we are no better than he is.
by Dennis R. Hill
It would be easy for Americans to blame Donald Trump's current health danger on his own failures. We could easily believe that he brought this health danger on himself, because he ignored and mocked CDC recommendations. We could easily focus our attention on the fact that Trump's failure to protect Americans from COVID-19 cause additional Americans to die, and we can easily blame Trump for their deaths.
We know that people who get lung cancer because they ignored all of the health warnings about the dangers of smoking cigarettes have brought their resulting health danger on themselves, however we still pray with them and their families for their recovery, because that is who we are.
There are many self-induced health dangers, which can result in health emergencies, including drug addictions, and alcoholism. However, instead of blaming them, we offer support and programs to help them, because that is who we are.
We can at the pray for Trump's survival and also pray for America's survival, even though many people may feel that Trump's survival may make America's survival more difficult. America will survive IF A HUGE MAJORITY AMERICANS VOTE AGAINST HIS POLICIES. That is the only way America truly wins.
Let's put our political beliefs aside and pray for Donald Trump's speedy recovery, because that is who America truly is. Let's bring out the best in America.
Trump was also asked to condemn white supremacist groups...
But instead chose to focus on the left. He said:
“Sure I’m willing to do that, but almost everything I see is from the left-wing. I’m willing to do anything. I want to see peace.”
And, when asked to give this group of people a name, he responded with “Proud Boys.” Proud Boys, a neo-Nazi organization, appeared to use Trump’s “stand back, stand by”
I am an Old White Man who is ashamed of the Old White Man currently in the White House.
I protested the Vietnam War & was told "America, Love It Or Leave It"
I protested Nixon & was told "America, Love It Or Leave It"
I now protest #Trump. I Love America & I AM NOT LEAVING IT! https://t.co/par2OdZ5sd
Trump is a white supremacist.
He mentions that he has better genes
The world seems to be teetering on its axis. There is no shortage of dangers and outrages that crowd our mental real estate. Now we have a president with a dangerous disease. What we know is much less than what we don't know.
It is hard to remember what normalcy feels like. We see movies or read books from pre-pandemic times and it feels like we are entering a distant and alternate universe. Crowded airports? Extended family? Live music? The shouts on a school yard? Playoff baseball at Yankee Stadium? And on and on.
It's the end of the workweek, and as we sign off with colleagues and friends we wish a good weekend reflexively, but what does that even mean? How different will a weekend be from the endless churn of our surreal calendar? We try to carve out time and space, but the world of anxieties has a way of crashing in.
I think back to other times of worry and disorientation. I think primarily of my childhood during World War II, when so much hung in a balance where murderous fascisim was ascendent. And I remember people still tried to squeeze out some of the joys of life.
Today, we can't do a lot of what we did then. We can't gather with family and friends, at least not in person. We can't go out to dinner, or a ballgame, or the movies. But we can also try to find moments of peace. I have taken to daily walks, especially now that the Texas summer heat has cracked. I try to read, watch movies, and talk on the phone or through the computer. Call up an old friend or family member this weekend who you've been meaning to call. Try to talk about something other than the news, although it's bound to come up. Try to focus on the human connection.
We are in the midst of a chaotic and perilous moment in American history. We have had those before. What has saved us in the past has been our resolve, our resourcefulness and our common humanity. We need to channel those traits once more in this moment of need.
Have a good weekend.
Trump shooting himself in his fat ass!!!!!! Anyone notice the cluster of cases coming out of the Scotus garden party???? Serves them right!!!!

WASHINGTON, Oct 2 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court has energized his conservative supporters, but public opinion on abortion, healthcare and other hot-button issues the court may face could work against him in the November election, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling.
Trailing Democrat Joe Biden in national opinion polls, the Republican Trump hopes to build enthusiasm for his re-election among undecided and independent voters, especially in U.S. battleground states that decide presidential elections.
But those voters are more likely to align with Democratic positions favoring abortion rights and the Affordable Care Act(ACA), a healthcare law popularly known as Obamacare, and may be turned off by the appointment of a conservative judge at odds with their views, according to the polling conducted in September and released this week.
Among both independent and undecided voters, those who want abortion to remain legal outnumber those who do not by nearly a 2-to-1 margin, according to the Reuters/Ipsos polling. The polls also show that 56 percent of suburban women, a demographic that Trump has been courting, support abortion rights.

AFTER waiting many hours and overnight until his first statement offering "thoughts", then saying he would pray, and after seeing much of the nation rally for Trump, the DNC tries to control the narrative.
Funny no mention of this initially...

Ch keeps quoting what Trump said AFTER he had made his insensitive, stupid remarks, as he tried to clean up his previous statement that there are "fine people on both sides."
That came as day after just about everyone had jumped all over him for suggesting that the KKKers and skin heads and white supremacist and Proud Boys and who knows what kind of right wing militia style racist, homophobic, and anti feminist fanatics also had good people among them -- some of them carrying swastika flags (one man had a little boy with him wearing a red Nazi flag like T-shirt).
No, polls don't show Donald Trump won the debate 'big'
Chris Cillizza
(CNN)On Thursday morning, Donald Trump tweeted this: "I won the debate big, based on compilation of polls etc. Thank you!"
This is, in a word, false.
Let me prove it.
Here are two major news organizations' polls that sought to measure public opinion on the first general election debate between Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday night in Cleveland:
1) A CNN post-debate poll showed 60% of debate watchers said Biden did a better job in the debate, while 28% said Trump did.
2) A CBS News poll of debate watchers showed 48% thought Biden won as compared to 41% who thought Trump did. The rest -- 10% -- called
the debate a tie.
Neither of those -- if I am reading them right -- say that Trump won. And a "compilation" of those polls also do not say he won. They say he lost. Period.

During the debate Trump made fun of Biden's mask-wearing habits, lol lol lol.

The New York Times, Rolling Stone, ABC News, and CBS News' motions to dismiss the lawsuit brought forward by the defamed teenager were rejected Thursday.
"Today marks another important step towards achieving justice against a media that thinks it has a license to smear," Sandmann told The Post Millennial.
Sandmann's defamation lawsuit against The Washington Post was initially dismissed. Sandmann's attorneys later amended the complaint, reopening the suit. In July, The Washington Post settled the lawsuit with an amount not disclosed to the public.
Sandmann's lawyers also filed a lawsuit on his behalf against CNN in March 2019, seeking $275 million in damages for "vicious" and "direct attacks" towards the high schooler. In January of this year, CNN settled the lawsuit with an undisclosed amount.

‘Michigan Is Now Unlocked’: State Supreme Court Strikes Down Emergency Powers Law
The Michigan Supreme Court on Friday struck down a 1945 law that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) has been using to keep the state locked down since April.
Whitmer has repeatedly extended a “state of emergency” for the past several months and pointed to a World War II-era law to do so, most recently lengthening it until October 27.
But today, the basis for the ongoing lockdown was ruled unconstitutional.
“The Supreme Court ruled today in agreement with the legislature that the 1945 law is unconstitutional,” Chatfield wrote.
“The governor had no right to extend the state of emergency over the Legislature’s objection. Our Constitution matters, and this was a big win for our democratic process.”
“Michigan is now unlocked,” Fred Wszolek, spokesman for Unlock Michigan told Breitbart News.

Trump Is Taking Remdesivir
CNN
President Trump is being treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for Covid-19 and has begun receiving an anti-viral drug.
From his doctor: “He is not requiring any supplemental oxygen, but in consultation with specialists we have elected to initiate Remdesivir therapy. He has completed his first dose and is resting comfortably.”
Trump Campaign Manager Tests Positive
Donald Trump’s campaign manager Bill Stepien “has tested positive for Covid-19, dealing another blow to his reelection effort on a day that saw the president and the head of the Republican National Committee report contracting the disease as well,” Politico reports.
Stepien was experiencing what one senior campaign official described as “mild flu-like symptoms.”
Eric Trump Asks for Prayers for His Father
Eric Trump asked for prayers for his “true warrior” father, who was diagnosed a day earlier with the novel coronavirus.
Tweeted Trump: “He will fight through this with the same strength and conviction that he uses to fight for America each and every day. I ask you to join me in praying for his recovery. I have never been more proud of someone and what they have had to endure.”
_____________
It would be better to ask for prayers for our nation and what WE have had to endure.
What Did You Expect?
DAvid Frum:
“Americans are dead who might have been alive if Trump had met the challenge of COVID-19 with care and responsibility—or if somebody else, literally almost anybody else, had been president instead.
Millions are out of work, in danger of losing their homes, living in fear.
Tens of millions of young people have suffered disruption to their education, which will follow them through life.
The pandemic was not Trump’s fault, but at every turn, he made things worse than they had to be
—because at every turn, he cared only for himself, never for the country.
And now he will care only for himself again.
“Trump should never have been allowed anywhere near any public office.
Wish him well, but recognize that his deformed spirit will never be well
—and that nothing can be well for the country under his leadership.”
The little shit has not won anything you moronic asshole!!!!!1

Colorado Senate hopeful John Hickenlooper (D) recently praised China as a “great nation” deserving of American respect, according to a report, despite the nation being the origin of the virus plaguing America and the rest of the world."
Joe is that you?
"“They do not want to rule the world,” he said on the call. “They don’t want to dominate. They want to be safe and be respected as one of the great nations of the world, which they are. And we should — I think that’s what we should recognize.”
President Donald Trump announced in the early hours of Oct. 2 that he and the first lady had tested positive for COVID-19. By late afternoon, the White House said that “out of an abundance of caution” the president was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he would spend the next few days.
Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, the president has been downplaying the risks of COVID-19 — questioning the effectiveness of masks, touting unproven treatments and criticizing his own health experts, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Here is a timeline of the president’s comments on COVID-19 and his administration’s handling of it.
January
In the early days of what would turn out to be a pandemic, the president repeatedly minimized the threat posed by the novel coronavirus.
Jan. 20: The first confirmed coronavirus case is reported in the United States.
Jan. 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” — Trump in a CNBC interview.
Jan. 30: The World Health Organization declares a public health emergency of international concern.
Jan. 30: “We think we have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five — and those people are all recuperating successfully. But we’re working very closely with China and other countries, and we think it’s going to have a very good ending for us … that I can assure you.” — Trump in a speech in Michigan.
Jan. 31: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declares a public health emergency for the U.S.
Jan. 31: HHS Secretary Alex Azar announces travel restrictions, effective Feb. 2. The policy prohibits non-U.S. citizens, other than permanent residents and the immediate family of both citizens and permanent residents, who have traveled to China within the prior two weeks from entering the U.S.
February
Trump privately tells journalist Bob Woodward that the novel coronavirus is “deadly stuff,” but continues to tell the public that it is “under control,” even suggesting that it could go away in the spring.
Feb. 7: “It goes through air, Bob. That’s always tougher than the touch … You just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed. And, so that’s a very tricky one. … It’s also more deadly than your – you know, your, even your strenuous flus. … This is more deadly. This is 5, you know, this is 5% versus 1% and less than 1%. You know, so, this is deadly stuff.” — Trump in an interview with Woodward, released in September.
Feb. 10: “Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do — you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. We’re in great shape though. We have 12 cases — 11 cases, and many of them are in good shape now.” — Trump at the White House. (See our item “Will the New Coronavirus ‘Go Away’ in April?“)
Feb. 14: “There’s a theory that, in April, when it gets warm — historically, that has been able to kill the virus. So we don’t know yet; we’re not sure yet. But that’s around the corner.” — Trump in speaking to National Border Patrol Council members.
Feb. 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!” — Trump in a tweet.
Feb. 26: “So we’re at the low level. As they get better, we take them off the list, so that we’re going to be pretty soon at only five people. And we could be at just one or two people over the next short period of time. So we’ve had very good luck.”
“I think every aspect of our society should be prepared. I don’t think it’s going to come to that, especially with the fact that we’re going down, not up. We’re going very substantially down, not up.” — when asked if “U.S. schools should be preparing for a coronavirus spreading.”
“I want you to understand something that shocked me when I saw it that — and I spoke with Dr. [Anthony] Fauci on this, and I was really amazed, and I think most people are amazed to hear it: The flu, in our country, kills from 25,000 people to 69,000 people a year. That was shocking to me. And, so far, if you look at what we have with the 15 people and their recovery, one is — one is pretty sick but hopefully will recover, but the others are in great shape. But think of that: 25,000 to 69,000. Over the last 10 years, we’ve lost 360,000.”
“But that’s a little bit like the flu. It’s a little like the regular flu that we have flu shots for. And we’ll essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner.” — Trump at a White House coronavirus task force briefing.
Feb. 27: “It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.” — Trump at a White House meeting with African American leaders.
Feb. 28: “So a number that nobody heard of that I heard of recently, and I was shocked to hear it, 35,000 people on average die each year from the flu. Did anyone know that? … They say usually a minimum of 27, goes up to 100,000 people a year die, and so far we have lost nobody to coronavirus in the United States. Nobody. And it doesn’t mean we won’t and we are totally prepared. It doesn’t mean we won’t. But think of it, you hear 35 and 40,000 people and we’ve lost nobody. You wonder, the press is in hysteria mode.”
BELLEVUE, Neb. —
A Bellevue East High School junior said she's being bullied for being a Republican. Jordan White can't even vote yet, but she supports President Trump.
It started with a photo supporting President Trump, but it quickly turned into a smear campaign against Jordan White.
"I received things like, 'I should kill myself.' 'That I should be jumped.' 'Take a video of her getting jumped at school.' 'She should be curb-stomped.' 'Every Trump supporter should be curb-stomped,'" Jordan White said.
She posted the photo after attending the Four More Tour Monday night in Omaha.
"They were cute pictures and I wanted to post them to my Instagram and I expected hate from it," Jordan White said.
She said her photos, with over 220 likes and over 1,000 comments, have turned hateful. Someone even going as far as impersonating her, stealing her photos and insinuating she was involved with white supremacy groups.
"So, people have been calling me a racist, a terrible person. Even if I tell them the screenshot is fake they still call me a racist because I am a Trump supporter," Jordan White said.
https://www.ketv.com/article/hateful-and-vile-student-gets-bullied-for-posting-a-photo-at-a-trump-rally/34227842#
but it's Trump who is espousing hate according to the left.
Feb. 29: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announces the first confirmed death from COVID-19 in the United States. Later, autopsy results in California attributed two deaths in early and mid-February to the disease.
“No. No. No. Hoax referring to the action that they [Democrats] take to try and pin this on somebody because we’ve done such a good job. The hoax is on them not … I’m not talking about what’s happening here. I’m talking what they’re doing. That’s the hoax.” — Trump in a coronavirus task force briefing, when asked if he regretting using the word “hoax” the night before.
March
By mid-March, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic; the Trump administration took steps to slow the spread; and the president and the remaining Democratic candidates stopped staging public campaign events. But by the end of the month, Trump talked about reopening the U.S. and having “packed churches all over our country” for Easter.
March 2: Trump holds a campaign rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, his last rally before coronavirus shutdown measures are implemented across the country. Crowd-size estimates ranged from 7,000 to 15,000 people, according to WRAL-TV in Raleigh.
“My administration has also taken the most aggressive action in modern history to protect Americans from the coronavirus,” he says. “We had a great meeting today with a lot of the great companies and they’re going to have vaccines. I think relatively soon and they’re going to have something that makes you better and that’s going to actually take place, we think, even sooner.”
“I think it’s very safe,” Trump tells reporters that morning when asked whether having rallies during a public health crisis was safe.
March 4: “[W]e have a very small number of people in this country [infected]. We have a big country. The biggest impact we had was when we took the 40-plus people [from a cruise ship]. … We brought them back. We immediately quarantined them. But you add that to the numbers. But if you don’t add that to the numbers, we’re talking about very small numbers in the United States.” — Trump at a White House meeting with airline CEOs.
“Well, I think the 3.4% is really a false number.” — Trump in an interview on Fox News, referring to the percentage of diagnosed COVID-19 patients worldwide who had died, as reported by the World Health Organization.
March 6: “We’ve had 11 deaths, and they’ve been largely old people who are — who were susceptible to what’s happening. Now, that would be the case, I assume, with a regular flu too. If somebody is old and in a weakened state or ill, they’re susceptible to the common flu too. You know, they were telling me just now that the common flu kills people and old people is sort of a target.” — Trump after a tour of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
March 7: “No, I’m not concerned at all. No, we’ve done a great job with it.” — Trump, when asked by reporters if he was concerned about the arrival of the coronavirus in the Washington, D.C., area.
March 9: “So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!” — Trump in a tweet.
March 10: “And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.” — Trump after meeting with Republican senators.
March 11: The WHO declares the global outbreak a pandemic.
The confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S. hit 1,000. Testing is still limited. According to the COVID Tracking Project, there have been 20,166 test results in the country. Deaths number 31 people.
March 13: Trump declares a national emergency concerning the coronavirus.
March 15: “This is a very contagious — this is a very contagious virus. It’s incredible. But it’s something that we have tremendous control over.” — Trump at a White House task force briefing.
March 16: The White House announces recommendations for a 15-day period to slow the spread of the coronavirus, including staying at home if you feel sick, have a household member who tests positive or are older or have a serious health condition.
“When I’m talking about control, I’m saying we are doing a very good job within the confines of what we’re dealing with. We’re doing a very good job. … If you’re talking about the virus, no, that’s not under control for any place in the world. … I was talking about what we’re doing is under control.” — Trump at a White House task force press briefing.
Here is a timeline of the president’s comments on COVID-19 and his administration’s handling of it.
now do Andrew Cuomo alky.
LOL.
The lies by the President are unprecedented. All politicians lie but he's made it evidence of mental disability.
Trump is ahead of Biden in swing states compared to polls in 2016.

Oct. 2020 7.6 %
March 17: “I’ve always known this is a — this is a real — this is a pandemic. I’ve felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.” — Trump at a White House task force press briefing.
March 19: “To be honest with you, I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic.” — Trump in an interview with journalist Woodward, released in September.
March 23: “People get tremendous anxiety and depression, and you have suicides over things like this when you have terrible economies. You have death. Probably and — I mean, definitely — would be in far greater numbers than the numbers that we’re talking about with regard to the virus.” — Trump at a White House task force briefing.
March 24: “So I think Easter Sunday and you’ll have packed churches all over our country. I think it would be a beautiful time. And it’s just about the timeline that I think is right.” — Trump in an interview on Fox News.
“I brought some numbers here, we lose thousands and thousands of people a year to the flu. We don’t turn the country off, I mean every year. Now when I heard the number, we average 37,000 people a year. Can you believe that? And actually this year we’re having a bad flu season, but we lose thousands of people a year to the flu. We never turn the country off. We lose much more than that to automobile accidents. We didn’t call up the automobile companies, say, ‘Stop making cars. We don’t want any cars anymore.’ We have to get back to work.” — Trump at a Fox News virtual town hall.
March 26: The U.S. has 100,000 confirmed coronavirus cases, more than any other country. The death toll hits 1,000.
March 29: “So you’re talking about 2.2. million deaths — 2.2 million people from this. And so, if we can hold that down, as we’re saying, to 100,000 — that’s a horrible number — maybe even less, but to 100,000; so we have between 100- and 200,000 — we all, together, have done a very good job.” — Trump at a White House task force press briefing.
March 30: The White House extends its “slow the spread” recommendations to April 30.
“We can expect that, by June 1st, we will be well on our way to recovery. We think, by June 1st, a lot of great things will be happening.” — Trump in announcing the extension of those recommendations.
March 31: “I mean, I’ve had many friends, business people, people with great, actually, common sense, they said, ‘Why don’t we ride it out?’ A lot of people have said, a lot of people have thought about it, ‘Ride it out, don’t do anything, just ride it out, and think of it as the flu.’ But it’s not the flu.” — Trump at a White House task force briefing.
Roger, you said Biden has policies that are good for America.
Yet, you can't list 5.
Biden will keep the majority of the Trump.Tax cuts, just like Obama did for his 8 lost years.

The goat fucker omits Obama's starting point which was shedding a million jobs a month thanx to busch!!!!! Too funny since Trumps job growth is now negative, breaking the 90 moths of growth started under Obama!!!!! BWAAAAAAPAAAAAA!!!!
The last Republican President
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose from 4.3% in January 2001 to 6.3% in June 2003, then fell as the housing bubble inflated to a trough of 4.4% in March 2007. As the Great Recession deepened, the rate rose again to 6.1% in August 2008 and up to 7.2% in December 2008.

The Facts .
Trump says he had the “greatest economy in history” during the GOP convention, a claim fact-checkers quickly marked as false. A look at economic growth shows why.
The economy grew just shy of 1 percent in Obama’s first term when the Great Recession took its toll. Growth improved to 2.3 percent in Obama’s second term. Under Trump, the economy is on track to average slightly above zero in his first term because of the sharp losses from the pandemic.
Permanent job losses are growing in the coronavirus recession
Excluding 2020, growth in Trump’s initial three years in office was 2.5 percent — barely above Obama and well below the growth under the Clinton, Reagan and Johnson administrations.

U see Gov. Cuomo has killed off the restaurant industry and rentals .
The on mass exiting of NYC is shocking.
It’s worth considering: Does the Trump administration’s policy approach deserve credit for the massive economic successes during the president’s pre-pandemic first term?
It’s true that some poor policy management on issues prevented the economy from hitting even higher heights during this period, such as the weight of an increasing national debt and the fallout from Trump’s harmful trade restrictions.
And, of course, no president of any party is entirely responsible for the country’s economic outcomes, even if that is, unfortunately, how the economy is often portrayed by the press and political class. There are, quite literally, millions of factors in play that determine the state of the economy.
But there’s no denying the fact that the laissez-faire approach of deregulation the Trump administration implemented during its first three years contributed to the economic growth and rise in the stock market that fueled surges in household net worth. The 2017 tax reform lowered punitive corporate taxes, which fueled growth by making the US more internationally competitive. Thus, the Trump administration does deserve major credit for the positive economic trends we’ve experienced.

folks are fleeing NYC like it's on fire. real estate prices in the burbs surrounding the city are out of control.
Cuomo and duh-blasio are directly responsible for the collapse, and when called on it all they can do is blame Trump, while simultaneously begging the feds for cash. it's comical.
NY's ONLY path to solvency is via a federal bailout and Cuomo calls Trump an asshole almost every day.

April
The president undermines the CDC’s recommendation on wearing face masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19, urges governors to open up their states and suggests ways to use ultraviolet rays and disinfectant to treat COVID-19. Bleach injection and Tylenol
April 1: “Because remember, after a month or so — I think once this passes, we’re not going to have to be, hopefully, worried too much about the virus.”
“Together, we have the power to save countless lives. We’re attacking the virus on every front with social distancing, economic support for our workers, rapid medical intervention, and very serious innovation, and banning dangerous foreign travel that threatens the health of our people. And we did that early — far earlier than anyone would have thought and way ahead of anybody else.” — Trump in a task force press briefing.
April 2: “We’re racing to develop new ways to protect against the virus, as well as therapies, treatments, and ultimately a vaccine. And we’re making a lot of progress. I think, medically, a lot of progress.” — Trump in a task force press briefing.
April 3: The CDC recommends that people begin “wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.”
“So it’s voluntary; you don’t have to do it. They suggested for a period of time. But this is voluntary. I don’t think I’m going to be doing it. … So with the masks, it’s going to be, really, a voluntary thing. You can do it. You don’t have to do it. I’m choosing not to do it, but some people may want to do it, and that’s okay. It may be good. Probably will. They’re making a recommendation. It’s only a recommendation. It’s voluntary.” — Trump in a task force press briefing, announcing the CDC recommendation on face masks.
April 5: “We’re starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. And hopefully, in the not-too-distant future, we’ll be very proud of the job we all did. We can never be happy when so many people are dying, but we’re going to be very proud of the job we did to keep the death down to an absolute minimum — the least it could have happened with this terrible, terrible virus.” — Trump in a task force press briefing.
April 8: “I also spoke with more than 3,000 mayors, county commissioners, and state and tribal leaders to provide an update on our administration’s ongoing drive to beat the virus, to crush the virus. And that’s happening. And it’s happening, I think if you look, a little bit more quickly than people thought. Maybe a lot more quickly, I hope. And it’s something that all over the world we’re watching, but people are watching us and seeing what we’re doing, and they’re very impressed.” — Trump in a task force press briefing.
April 13: “America is continuing to make critical progress in our war against the virus. Over the weekend, the number of daily new infections remained flat nationwide. … This is clear evidence that our aggressive strategy to combat the virus is working and that Americans are following the guidelines.” — Trump in a task force press briefing.
April 16: “As we reopen, we know that there will be continued hardships and challenges ahead. Our goal will be to quickly identify and address any outbreaks and put them out rapidly. If the virus returns in the fall, as some scientists think it may possibly, these guidelines will ensure that our country is up and running so that we can likewise put it out quickly.” — Trump in a task force press briefing.
April 17: “I don’t want people to think that this going to be like this forever. But, for a period of time, we’re going to have to keep it that way. That includes baseball games and football games, and other things. But eventually, as this virus goes away, it’s going to be better and better.” — Trump in a task force press briefing

Trump is such a lunatic it's easy to find his base is just as crazy as him
yet they accurately quoted Cuomo's LIE about nursing home deaths.
And omitted trumps lack of leadership when he said Covid was dangerous.....BWAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
April 20: “We continue to be encouraged that many of the areas hardest hit by the virus appear to have turned the corner.” — Trump in a task force press briefing. Remember this was in April!
April 21: “Therefore, in order to protect American workers, I will be issuing a temporary suspension of immigration into the United States; you heard about that last night.” — Trump in a task force press briefing.
April 22: “This virus will eventually be gone. And if it should show up in the fall, we’re going to put it out very fast.” — Trump in a task force press briefing.
April 22: “No problem with face masks, if the governors want to do that.” — Trump at a task force press briefing.
April 23: “So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting, right? And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it’d be interesting to check that. So that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.” — Trump in a task force press briefing.
April 24: “This is where they’ve come in with a final report that sun has a massive impact, negatively, on this virus. In other words, it does not live well with humidity, and it doesn’t live well with sun, sunlight, heat. It doesn’t live well with heat and sun and disinfectant. And that’s what I brought out. And I thought it was clear.” — Trump in a bill signing ceremony, when asked to “clarify your comments about injections of disinfectant” from the previous day.
April 28: Confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S. hit 1 million. More than 57,000 people in the country have died from the virus.
April 29: “I don’t want people to get used to this because this virus is going to be gone. And when it’s gone, you want to get back to normal. You’re not going to have a stadium that’s 30% the size of what it was three months ago. If I watch Alabama play LSU, I don’t want to see 20,000 people instead of 120,000 people. We want it to be the way it was. Now, we going to wait until it’s gone. And it will be gone. And we’ve done a lot to get rid of it. But we — we want to open our country. The people want this country open.” — in a roundtable with industry executives.
April 30: “But as far as where I’m going in Arizona, I’m going to have to look at the climate. I’d have no problem wearing a mask. I don’t know. I’m supposed to make a speech. I just don’t know: Should I speak in a mask? You’re going to have to tell me if that’s politically correct. I don’t know. If it is, I’ll speak in a mask.” — Trump in White House remarks, when asked about wearing a mask during his upcoming visit to Arizona on May 5.

The president undermines the CDC’s recommendation on wearing face masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19, urges governors to open up their states and suggests ways to use ultraviolet rays and disinfectant to treat COVID-19.
why yes alky, because if Trump had simply told folks to wear a mask, all the folks who vehemently hate him and are openly wishing for his death today would have listened and complied, and no one would have died. alky logic.
no one i know checks in with the daily musings of Trump before they leave the house in the morning alky.

rrb stocked up bleach and PBR
You lack the ability to debate so you insut like a kid
And omitted trumps lack of leadership when he said Covid was dangerous.....
BWAA, the "extra beds at Javits" that Killer Cuomo referenced in his statement were there courtesy of President Trump and his LEADERSHIP.
oh and btw, virtually ALL of those beds went unused, as did most of the beds on the hospital ship docked at NY harbor that sat there... thanks to Trump.
the fact is that Trump did everything within his constitutional authority that he could do to facilitate a response to covid. had he over-reached that authority then he would've become the totalitarian dictator you clowns claim him to be.
no rational, sane individual blames Trump for covid. it's the ploy of weak, cowardly asshats who are terrified at the prospect of four more years of Trump who are making those claims out of desperation.
+lky, because if Trump had simply told folks to wear a mask, all the folks who vehemently hate him and are openly wishing for his death today would have listened and complied,
Funny thing you dumb fuck....the ones wearing masks are generally those who dislike him....it is assholes like you cramps the goat fucker who are slurpers seem to be the groups complaining about wearing them.....idiots flocking together getting sick and spreading the virus far and wide!!!!!!!
the intellectual dishonesty required to read Trump's statement and conclude that he was recommending the injection of bleach is immeasurable.
and one can only conclude that those drawing that conclusion from Trump's statement are immeasurable stupid.
but i can see how this strategery does work with your average, garden-variety democrat.
BWAA, the "extra beds at Davits" that Kille
BWAAAAAAPAAAAAA!!!!!!!! That as usual has nothing to do with trumps fuck up you asshole!!!!!
Trump’s Doctor Won't Say If He's Been on Oxygen
Dr. Sean Conley said the President wasn’t on oxygen on Thursday, and not on oxygen on Friday “while he was here,” suggesting that he may have been on supplemental oxygen at some point on Friday before admission to Walter Reed.
He repeatedly declined to say if Trump was ever on oxygen.
The doctor also said Trump tested positive 72 hours ago or Wednesday morning. Trump did not tweet he was positive until Friday at 12:54 a.m.
IOW, he has been.

The ‘Bottom Is Falling Out’ for Republicans
Mike Allen:
“Some top GOP operatives, privy to data from swing states, tell me that this week’s chaotic presidential debate had a calamitous effect on Republican chances in tight Senate races.
Said a GOP insider:
“The bottom is falling out everywhere. Everyone knew Trump was capable of this kind of behavior. But these voters had never had 90 straight minutes of that behavior thrust in their faces.
“This insider said the debate didn’t faze hardcore Trumpers. But he said it turned off ‘open to Trump’ swing voters, especially women in suburbs.”

And rat thinks Trump 'won' the debate.
He's a minority of one, lol lol lol.
Some Doubt Trump Is Actually Sick
New York Times:
“There is no evidence, of course, to support the view that Mr. Trump and his wife, Melania, are anything but ill. As updates on the president’s condition came in, followed by the news that he would be hospitalized, the chatter turned from skepticism that the president was sick to doubts that the White House was being forthright about his condition.
“Across social media, in interviews, in conversations, the questions poured in all day from people who have heard so many contradictory things over the last four years — a warp-speed whiplash of conflicting realities — that they no longer know what is true.”

I guess some people think Trump is faking it to try to get sympathy. If so, that only shows what a low opinion people have of him.
Ron Johnson Tests Positive

“Vice President Mike Pence in March directed the nation’s top disease control agency to use its emergency powers to effectively seal the U.S. borders, overruling the agency’s scientists who said there was no evidence the action would slow the coronavirus,” the AP reports.
“The action has so far caused nearly 150,000 children and adults to be expelled from the country.”
the ones wearing masks are generally those who dislike him....
i wear one every day when i go out in public, BWAA.
not because masks are effective, but because it's the polite thing to do.

now that you mention it pederast, i DO remember that time when susan rice went on 5 consecutive sunday talk shows and lied like it was her fucking job.
and the lies— a warp-speed whiplash of conflicting realities — that poured in from 8 years of 0linsky are legion.
and i can always spot a Biden supporter on the highway because they're the ones wearing a mask inside their fucking car.

The CDC says that they are very effective.
But your a cultist without the ability to think for yourself.

if we're honest we'd admit we're wearing masks out of politeness, not effectiveness.
like most things supported by the left, it makes us FEEL good, so therefore it must be done. only in retrospect do we ever maybe admit that what we've done in reaction to the crisis du jour was a complete fucking waste of time and money.
kinda like floating a hospital ship up both coasts.
or turning centurylink field and the javits center into a sea of unused beds.
or demanding "THIRTY THOUSAND VENTILATORS!!!" like asshole Cuomo did while simultaneously turning NY nursing homes into modern day Nazi death camps.

TRANSCRIPT, PBS INTERVIEW
Judy Woodruff:
And, David, this [news of Trump testing positive] comes just a few days after the debate, the first debate, or — we assume — we don't know whether there will be more, but a debate in which Donald Trump more than dominated.
He overwhelmed that evening, Tuesday evening. Did it have an effect, do you think, on voters who still don't know what they're going to do on November 3?
David Brooks:
It certainly did in my circles.
Even among Trump supporters who are friends, they were devastated and shocked. Some of them are not on Twitter. They don't see a lot of that Twitter stuff. And, suddenly, they see this.
I think it was one of the most important events of the campaign for this reason. People like me can sermonize about how, when you behave badly, when you destroy every norm of civility and decency, you corrode the world around you. You destroy the norms of standard behavior.
The problem with people — when people like me sermonize about this is, it's an invisible process, and it's a slow corrosion.
On debate night, the American people got to see in real time, with their own eyes, the way one man destroyed an American political institution, the presidential debate.
And so that's just a clear example of the centrality of character and the centrality of decency and how what we saw, when you have bad character, frankly, and indecency, it has the explosive force of a howitzer. It just breaks things and makes people suffer.
And that process, in my view, has been going on throughout the Trump presidency. But, here, it happened in real time right in front of everybody's eyes. So, I think it's an extremely significant event in the whole arc of the Trump presidency.
Judy Woodruff:
Mark, how much harm do you think that the debate did to the president's political fortunes and to the country?
Mark Shields:
I think it was obviously — it was obviously his missed opportunity, Judy.
His opportunity was to try and make the race into a referendum — rather, a choice between himself and Joe Biden. He brought all the attention, all the focus back to himself, made it a referendum on himself again. He interrupted, by one count, Joe Biden, 120 times.
David's absolutely right. He took an institution which had been a rather remarkable civic institution, criticized by some for not being sparkly enough or whatever else, but had been a remarkable moment, where, in every campaign, for 90 minutes, both candidates stood there and they defended and explained and answered questions and were held accountable, and we found out what sense they were.
It was more than a travesty. It was a moment at which he brought all attention back to himself. He mocked Joe Biden on wearing a mask, which seems sadly ironic and poignant at this point.
But I don't think there's any question that the two major events, the bookend events, of this campaign ... were the debate and the disease... both of them.
And in the final analysis, Judy, there have been four presidents reelected since Ronald Reagan. And, in each case, every one of them, by measurement of The Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, was personally liked.
Donald Trump is the only American president seeking reelection who is personally unliked by 70 percent of his fellow Americans. There was nothing that he did Tuesday night in Cleveland that made him more likable to those Americans whose votes he needs.
Well, now, I herewith invite INTELLIGENT disagreement -- reasoned, rational, non cursing and shouting -- disagreement on these points from rat and ch and others.

Attorney General William Barr is choosing not to quarantine after recently coming in close contact with members of President Trump’s inner circle who have tested positive for Covid-19.

“The president’s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care. We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery.”

what clowns like brooks will never understand is that us normals have had our fill of DC's political norms. Trump was elected to destroy those norms, and to us he's doing just fine.
