Nobody cares about your fake numbers.

GOP is putting a good pick in no matter what you have to say about it.

And no, Nancy has no power or authority to keep it from happening.

Have a nice day.



Do Right, Be Right. :)

Fake numbers from the President. Donald Trump predicted Monday that a coronavirus vaccine would become available “within a matter of weeks,” again contradicting the assessments of his own administration’s top public health officials.

“I’m getting it very soon, within a matter of weeks,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” in an interview, adding: “I would say that you’ll have it long before the end of the year, maybe. Maybe by the end of October.”

The president previously said earlier this month that a vaccine would “probably” be ready in October — just a day after Moncef Slaoui, head of the administration’s efforts to hasten vaccine development, said it was “very unlikely” a vaccine would be approved by early November.

Last Wednesday, Trump publicly rebuked CDC Director Robert Redfield after Redfield told congressional lawmakers that while a vaccine could become available by November or December, it would likely not be “generally available to the American public” until the late second quarter or early third quarter of next year.

The president responded by staging a White House news briefing hours later, during which he claimed Redfield “made a mistake” and “got the message maybe confused” at the time of his remarks.

Today, just as it has been since the very beginning, sees your political virus pandemic the least exciting apocalypse ever on record.

Nobody cares.

Why don't you bring up his taxes again. You'll have a better shot with that.

“It affects virtually nobody,” Trump said of the coronavirus. “It’s an amazing thing.”

The president was trying to highlight how deaths from the virus are concentrated among older people and those with preexisting conditions — never mind that more than half of the US population falls into one or both of those categories — but he made his point in a remarkably callous way:

"It affects elderly people. Elderly people with heart problems and other problems. If they have other problems, that’s what it really affects. That’s it. You know, in some states, thousands of people, nobody young [dies]. Below the age of 18, like, nobody. They have a strong immune system, who knows. You look — take your hat off to the young, because they have a hell of an immune system. But it affects virtually nobody. It’s an amazing thing.

By the way, open your schools, everybody. Open your schools."

Covid-19 is nothing to be cavalier about, regardless of age, and it’s irresponsible for the president to suggest otherwise. Trump knows better but is spreading dangerous misinformation anyway. Trump is back to having multiple political rallies each week featuring packed crowds, very few masks, and no social distancing.

Death toll is expected to hit 400,000 by Jan 1st and will keep rising in the New Year. Onward and upward to 800,000! Great job, Trump! A+!

All the most unsuccessful Americans I know don't care about Covid-19. But they were both unsuccessful and uncaring long before the coronavirus. It is as if Trump lovers are trying to kill themselves from stupidity, much like the dying Russians.

It is no surprise that Trump has an affinity for Russia. His empty bragging is dragging America down to become the next Russia - a big fat failure of a country, with no plans that make sense for the future, trying to convince itself it is not failing so long as it has H-bombs: "Trump’s new nuclear weapon has been deployed" Except that weapon can't be used without also destroying America. What a dumb idea he had, dumber than even his Covid-19 response.
