  1. Where is Trump’s science degree? The craziness of him definitely stating what does and doesn’t work for preventing disease is beyond the pale.

    1. What do you mean science degree? I think you meant High School degree. You misunderstood the question…smile…

    1. @Michael Whitted wrong lincoln was a moderate you pendejo go watch lincoln 2012 you uneducated inbred 🙂

    2. @Colonel Seguin the Tejano Rebel Says the person all in for Trump. Pendejismo comes to mind with you and your rebellion.

    3. @Michael Jimenez lmao you guys are the ones defending anti american rioters and pedos my name is just a reference to the texas revolution which is a legitimate one unlike the communist larp revolution in seattle and portland 🙂 trust me when trump wins in november it will prove we arent a rebellion but im sure you know that deep down

    4. @Michael Jimenez im all in for turmp cause im american FIRST before race since im not racist and he is a million times better than sleepy knee bending china loving biden

    1. @Mike Smith I don’t believe that is true. At the time, Jefferson Davis said that it was to protect the institution of slavery. There were many struggles over whether new states would become slave or free, with bloody battles that preceded the Civil War. The South was also demanding the right to come North into free states and kidnap escaped slaves (who they called property). So, no, slavery was at the heart of the Civil War. The irony is that most Southerners were not slaveholders, but fought for the interests of the slaveholders, the “1%ers” of their day. America is an odd country that way, even today the lower middle class will fight to the death for the rights of billionaires to forgo paying taxes, starving the coffers of our government, and will support tax bills that favor the wealthy. With our nation 26 Trillion in debt. Don’t believe me, check to see how today’s top 1% are doing in 2020.

    2. @Crystal Giddens I’m searching on the internet for new CDC guidelines related to reporting that a death is caused by COVID and I’m not sure what you are referring to. Was it the report of August 30 that revealed that 94 percent of people who tested positive for COVID and died also had underlying health conditions? Or something more recent?

    3. @Joe Z. Actually the CDC guidelines are referred to in this video by a physician and confirmed by the interviewer and read verbatim and also confirmed in this same video by Dr Birx and Dr Fauci although Fauci guffaws at the notion the guidelines are inappropriate. Also note in this video that they include a financial incentive to “game the numbers.” *Scamdemic – Dr Scott Jensen On Covid 19 Death Count Guidelines & Financial Incentives*

    4. @Crystal Giddens ok, the gist of the argument seems to be that hospitals are being reimbursed to a greater degree by Medicare if they state that the cause of the hospitalization is COVID, rather than the underlying condition. This leads to padding of the numbers, and in addition, when a patient dies, the cause of death is listed as COVID, but COVID was the exacerbating element, so the cause of death should be more accurately listed as whatever the patients underlying condition was. Is that a fair assessment?

    5. @Joe Z. That is sort of a fair assessment but as I have illustrated they cannot distinguish between covid and the common cold so calling the underlying cause covid is mere guess work or “a judgement call” or “gaming the numbers.” The gist of the argument is they are intentionally “gaming the numbers” and we truly have no idea how many have died due to anything related to covid.

      From:
      Public Health England

      ( HCID ) –
      high consequence infectious diseases ( HCID ) in the UK.

      Professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London, who has been testifying before the British parliament on how many people he thinks will ultimately fall prey to Covid-19. Professor Ferguson was giving evidence as part of a parliamentary select committee on science and technology. His initial projection was that Covid-19 would claim the lives of 500,000 people in the UK — but he has revised that projection. Ferguson now believes that at most 20,000 people will die — and it could be much lower.
      The eminent epidemiologist’s U-turn has not been widely reported to the public, but reportage from inside the hearing says that Professor Ferguson is now calling a figure 25 times smaller than his original prediction the absolute maximum. One wonders what has happened to change his mind — it seems that the lower than expected mortality rates are causing experts to re-evaluate their more apocalyptic predictions. Professor Ferguson actually has Covid-19 himself —perhaps it is not as bad as he thought.
      Moreover, Professor Ferguson told the British parliament that he believes the UK’s national health system (NHS) has enough intensive care beds and equipment to handle the pandemic. And although the peak not having hit just yet, he believes that the UK will come through the worst relatively smoothly. Much ado about nothing, then?
      *So I am telling you they are LYING! Can’t be anymore blunt than that. I have NOT minced words. You tell me if I am wrong.*

    1. Antonio Raphael.Yeah,That interview with that guy Swan was great,really put Trump in his place.Everyone else is too soft.!!!😱😱😱😱😳😳😷

    1. @Duramax Dad it’s 1 3rd or it’s a constitutional coup. These republicans are traitors to our constitution. No branch can have more power and one branch cannot usurp another’s authority’s.

    2. @House Majority I think he has awaken sleepy Joe and the American people to his treachery. I made a sign I posted on my fence. Sucker loser veteran voting Biden.

    1. Doesn’t matter when the vaccine becomes available. Now that Dotard has politicized it, those of us who don’t trust him won’t get vaccinated. Just gotta keep wearing masks. Subtract the anti-vaxxer crowd and that leaves only 10 percent of the population who will get the shot. Not exactly Herd Mentality!

  2. Why do new networks give this human media time. He is lying intentionally: lies keep us talking about him longer and that’s what he wants!

    1. @WhiteFragilityRuinedUSA What makes you think I am foreign? Why do YOU, a leftist / socialist / communistic racist degrade our society? Hmmm? Peddle your racist material elsewhere.

    1. But wait….it’s the end of summer. Didn’t it go away with the warmer weather over the last 4 months? I’m shocked!
