    1. Atlanta, is a terrible city. It has been for a while. Even when the economy was rocking, it still had homeless everywhere. Clean up your own back yard Mayor!!

    1. The simpleminded governor should check out the science behind what the president mentioned… (remember the push back from CNN when Trump said the warmer weather will eradicate the virus…and how the UV light in the outdoors kills the virus). Well — turns out it is true…

    2. @GeoCat TRUE? I wonder why all those African and South American countries keep pretending they have a CO-VID 19 problem? Shame on them for all the fake dying and for putting all those fake dead bodies on the street to be taken to fake mass graves.

    1. Bill Jordan ….. and very well composed. All that said with a straight face. Thank God I saw this video. I just made myself a Lysol on the rocks with a touch of lime. I guess it’s back to crack.

    1. No one seems to understand the President was being sarcastic when he made that statement. People should know how to use simple logic.

    2. Lets not forget the scarf lady’s face when our sun god/supreme leader ask that pathetic moronic idiotic epicly flaking question

    3. Rix Amoris what I have noticed is that when the Clown speaks and she knows it is ridiculous, she begins to blink heavily as if to say, oh God, is he really saying that?

  1. Lmao “Don’t Inject Lysol” if you need to be told that, you should probably Inject that stuff.

    1. My mom taught me not to wish the worst on anyone, even an enemy, but it’s harder by the day in the USA…

      @chlnk in the chain Not at all. I just enjoy k ilIing whlte creatures. My KiIIcount is at 9 as of last week. Don’t worry, I’ll get those numbers up in no time.

    3. More like a reality TV show. Trump was cool as hell when he was on TV. But who would know someone that financially successful would be so dumb.

  2. I am glad my parents are not here to see this craziness, though my dad and I would probably have a good laugh at some of this insanity, we both shared a morbid sense of humor.

    1. @cj p Lovely, you are so clever and appropriate. My dad and I were both veterans that served our country. You are probably a bot though, so my response may not be acknowledged.

    1. @Vincent H. Yeah and to be honest we don’t know if the .5-.6 could drop lower. It was 3.4% 3 weeks ago. For all we know could be .3% in 3 weeks.

    2. @Get Offended agreed. And why wouldn’t you think American citizens are responsible enough to continue to practice social distancing and mask wearing if we lift restrictions? I just don’t get these people who don’t even want to have the discussion of when we open up. Are they just really scared or do they not have all the facts? Or is it something more nefarious?

    1. @Rix Amoris watch the video – ‘the five laughs off Trumps disinfectant comments’ . Their reactions cannot hide their bias on this one.

    2. @I R No he didn’t he was discussing with another person on the side about the ECP therapy which separates the blood and then cleans and returned the blood. He clearly said – The comment in question came shortly after a presentation by William N. Bryan, the acting undersecretary for science and technology at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, about how heat and humidity could impact the spread of COVID-19 during the summer months. Bryan mentioned a recent, non-peer-reviewed study that showed how disinfectants and sunlight could kill the coronavirus on non-porous surfaces such as counters or door handles.

      Bryan’s presentation focused on how light and disinfectants affected the coronavirus on surfaces. But when Trump took the podium, he started talking about what would happen if light and disinfectants were “brought inside the body” to fight the virus.

      Here’s the official White House transcript of Trump’s remarks (emphasis added):

      THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. So I asked Bill a question that probably some of you are thinking of, if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that 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. It sounds interesting.

      ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: We’ll get to the right folks who could.

      THE PRESIDENT: 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 would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me. NOT ONE WORD TOLD ANYONE TO INJECT DISINFECTANT IN YOUR BODY! NOW IF SOMEONE IS THAT STUPID TO ACTUALLY DO IT THEN WELL I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!

    3. @Diane Laney again Diane, he isn’t telling people to go ahead and inject disinfectant into their system?!! Why can’t you understand that? He is, however, clearly speaking off the cuff about researching ways to inject disinfectant ‘inside’ to clean. That’s not debated is it? He did say those words right? So, the point is, as the POTUS with absolutely no understanding of medicine – or much else for that latter – he shouldn’t be rambling like he always does. Done

    4. @Mark Cole firstly, you’re not getting the point…while your man hasn’t come out and said take this, inject that…what he has done repeatedly is misinform, ramble like an old uncle and given opinions on subjects he clearly has no expertise in!!!? How is that ok in your eyes? The guy isn’t your neighbour or your buddy or your workmate…he is the supposed leader of the free world?!! And yet he rants, rambles, misinforms and shoots anyone down who brings up his own bullsh*t. From a totally unboased onlooker, I can’t believe anyone can still defend this clown. Surely he is an embarrassment for all of America.

    5. @Mark Cole oh and Trump doesn’t write the friggen cheques!!! He is a frontman for a group of specialists trying to run the country. And he can’t even do that without making his own team cringe.

    1. Paul Wilson just like back in the days of slavery , don’t dare let them learn to read and educate themselves. Now it’s keep them home and break the economy

    2. ​@Paul Wilson The issue begs some intelligence like how many other Mayors have issues from the bigger cities, second why wasnt there consultation with them in the first place, etc…

  3. God bless the Mayor of Georgia! She sounds like she cares a great deal for her state and people in general! I pray to God the people of Georgia listens to her! As far as I’m concerned she doesn’t sound like a racist to me! She sounds like a caring individual! Please people from Georgia stay home and stay healthy and safe! God bless you all!

    1. so… Mayors are not in charge of a state… she is the mayor of atlanta… she doesnt have to worry about the state becoming bankrupt… the governor does.

    2. Mirna Luz Rodriguez if you want to stay home stay home but let the healthy ones get us back to work!

    3. We can’t realistically remain closed forever, there may never be a vaccine. But things still have to be produced for our society to function, that’s just the reality of it, the mayor is making all of this political, this not something that should be politicized.

    4. @Ralph Sims Even the healthy ones can be asymptomatic to the virus meaning that they could be spreading the virus silently without even knowing it even though they may be healthy with no symptoms

  4. She is the nicest Mayor I have seen speak, and with a very sensible message that everyone should take notice of.

      @cj p Whltes are stupld little creatures. Common sense is a foreign concept to them.

    1. She just told you libtards not to inject lysol… And you see her has an authority figure now?
      I get the feeling you rode the special bus…

    2. @cj p And yet, there apparently have been a number of calls to emergency hotlines about ingesting disinfectant. Wonder if they were all ‘libtards.’

    1. She would be smarter listening to someone other than CNN who puts politics above people’s health and continues to LIE about the VA results using hydrochloroquine with a z pac ! AND SUNSHINE!

  5. “When you have our highest leader speaking in xenophobic terms, people feel empowered to speak hate”
