  1. I’m not going to any event where I have to sign a waiver to my health just to hear some clown lie to me for 3 hours straight. That’s madness.

    I heard that Jim Jones made his cult followers sign a waiver at Jonestown, just before he passed out the “refreshments.” 😄

    1. @M
      Because nobody talks about the dangers, of what is still called “peaceful protest”, i trust someone more when they atleast give you a warning before, no matter how low risk the danger is. The state or country of Chaz, is still being labeled as a peaceful area. Call me crazy but i like honesty & someone who wont just allow a bunch of thugs take over their citizens town & businesses…. Thats horrible. Do you agree with what your mayor did & how she turned her back on the people she was supposed to be protecting?

    2. @darknite 123222 collecting supporters from every corner of the country is the only way to fill a stadium of 19,000.

  2. Thousands of people are going to be driving and flying in from different parts of the country to attend Trump’s coronavirus potluck rally in Tulsa. And the number of infection cases in Tulsa are going to skyrocket afterwards. Count on it.

    1. Going to protest or rallies are both dangerous let the Democrats have their protest and the Republicans their rallies. We all take risk when we go outside of our homes, we take risk by getting in a car or getting killed by criminals or criminals getting killed by cops and thousands of things that could cause our own lives. As far the rally goes some will be wearing a mask like protestors only some wear mask. They are going to do temperature check in the rally that will eliminate some covid-19 positive.

    2. Believe me, we do count on it 100%. It worked with his great idea to tell people to go to church again…it will sure work at rallies where nobody will wear a mask or protect themselves by keeping distance…

    3. @Rino Ponce what about asymptomatic coronavirus cases??? Doesn’t work that way. It’s a stupid idea by a stupid little man that needs to be praised for destroying this country by his far right cultist nuts. He’s never going to change everything is always about the numbers and the ratings when all his so called record setting events weren’t record setting at all. Obama had more people than lump at his inaugural speech. Obama had better approval rating. Obama is everything trump could never be. The polls all have Biden ahead of limp lump and it infuriates him

    4. @Brendan Brogren what about it? Do you even read what I said or your just pull of hate your to blind to see it. I said it will eliminate some of the covid-19 positive meaning not all.

  3. You heard it here ‘it’s a trifecta’ we got the virus, racism and misinformation. It’s the ‘ultimate tinderbox’ … btw

    1. @Telengard Forever yeah it’s dumb 3/4 of the stuff he comes up with is what a 7 yo with ADHD would cook up but how is anyone going to stop him

    2. It is just another brainwash download. This time trump will include russian roulette (his favorite country) with a virus.

    4. @tj joe Easy. Restrain one arm and give him bottled water or in a glass. He will dehydrate, because he can only drink like a pre 4 year old with both arms.

    5. tj joe Despite all the information available on how this virus is spread to others, you still don’t get it. Just like Trump, some people are simply uneducable.

  4. The rest of us need to make them sign a waiver from infecting the community and their livelihoods.

    1. Does this go along with people protesting in the hundreds and thousands arm and arm or is it just for Trump supporters????

    2. @ACornelius820 It’s just for those in enclosed spaces as Trumps own CDC Guidance advises against, refusing to wear masks. Those protestors who didn’t wear masks yeah them too

    3. @ACornelius820 we are all in the same place and fight against the virus to protect our families and economy from further losses due to the virus.

  5. Trust me: the trump supporters who get Covid 19 from attending one of his rallies will swear blind that they caught it from Black Lives Matters protestors through their TVs.
    I would just let them get on with it.

  6. Understand: At the risk of all those lives, Trump *needs* these rallies. They are his political oxygen.

    1. @Ray S The only thing you see, my friend, is the inside of Trump’s colon.
      Like a good little Trump cultist, you’re desperately resorting to demonizing the media, just like Trump trained you to do. I’ve seen countless Trump cultists using your same boring gaslighting words, from claiming facts you can’t handle are fabricated by “CNN and MSNBC” to the invoking of the boring “Trump Derangement” taunt.
      What’s truly amazing is that you cultists insist on believing Trump despite the fact that he’s told over 19,000 lies, with more coming every day. That’s the very definition of Gullible.
      The reality is I compiled that list using my own eyes, ears, and brain, and every item in there is factual, ie Trump really did do every one of those things.
      With simple Google searches, you can easily find plenty of objective sources that will confirm every single fact in my list.
      Can you remove your head from Trump’s behind long enough to do that?

    2. @Anne Marie But at the rally, each Trump supporter will get “One Free MAGA-rita”!

      Ever heard of a MAGA-rita? No?

      2 oz. Chlorox
      2 oz. Lysol
      1 oz. lime juice

      Should they contract the virus, the MAGA-rita will cure them!

  7. Ignorance is bliss. The USA ranked 125 out of 195 nations in literacy with 1 being the best and 195 being the worst. It pretty much explains everything from healthcare, gun deaths, crumbling infrastructure, crippling debt and huge inequality. A rising tide lifts all boats.

    1. @martin O,Brien just saying all the issues stated by eric are mostly seen when you go to our major us cities, which are overwhelmingly run by liberals.

    2. @Malcolm N. Doesn’t the senit have the power to make a difference if it cared to and Republicans hold sway there just saying.

    3. Malcolm N. :: to make money and leave!!!! No one wants to live in Amerikkk!!! It’s a free money gram going on!!! FYI

  8. Did I miss something? Are there not thousands of protesters out burning buildings right now?
