    1. Yes trump is the leader but he’s had help the whole way. They are all responsible and should be charged with murder just like Hitler’s accomplices. Lock them all up.

    2. @Valdene Allison you’ve been convicting him for 4 years, I think you need a crime first . I don’t approve of Trump’s big mouth but I fully support his policies .Especially his foreign policy in the Mideast and his accomplishments of employment & prison reform

    3. @Jay Lesley if Biden wins they’ll have to invoke the 25th amendment and put that Kamala in office , I believe that is they’re plan , he’s not going to last four years

    1. if you personally would like me to stay home, please provide your mailing address so that I can send a contract in which you will provide $375.00 per day until the pandemic is over. Failure to comply with this request will be considered a domestic terrorist threat that will be dealt with accordingly.

  1. Trump’s healthcare plan is called “Don’tCare” and it covers everyone.

    Preexisting conditions–Don’tCare; Diagnosed with cancer–Don’tCare; Seriously injured in an accident–Don’tCare; Your baby was born with life threatening health issues–Don’tCare. So you see, no matter what your healthcare concerns are, there’s no need to worry, because Trump’s plan has you covered.

  2. Trump has always been completely out of his depth as president. He has no effing clue what he’s doing and what to do. We have the grand opportunity to fire him in 9 days. Let millions and millions of us tell him he’s fired on November 3!!

    1. @Lot Underwood potus tells liars all the time if you are to dumb to see and hear the BS I feel sorry for you

    2. TRUMP’S HEALTHCARE PLAN

      “I get 24/7/365 8 doctors 4 nurses & new experimental treatments.
      Cost? about 200k for ME.

      You’all can get🐑🐑🐏 herd immunity or die⚰️💀

      Best of luck to all of you 🍭suckers and losers🤢🥵💀,

      DJT

      PS; Please love me”
      #BeBest #FL #PA #TX #Texas

    3. @Steve Logue not one person was reported to have covid from a rally . Most reports have been people following rules and still getting sick . And that’s still isn’t trumps call , it’s the states call . And those states allowed protests which allowed trump to have rallies . And they still weren’t peaceful protests , they were riots for days and Trump had a rally for one day in each of those places ……. again , the virus started from china , spread to the entire world . Trump closed borders and flights and the governers were in charge of their own states which is how it’s always been . So keep blaming like you know what you are talking about .

    4. @Gremy Saint several people who attended Trump rallies earlier in NV came down with covid. Was established and reported in the local news media. This is not fake news.

    1. @Gremy Saint I don’t blame trump at all. He never had the smarts or mental capacity to take care of it. I never expected that but at least he should’ve told the truth. All man for himself until the vaccines comes out. Good luck would’ve been nice

    2. Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous , you should research it and don’t buy into this sickening fear mongering of a virus for political gain , Dems have completely lost it , glad I left that evil party, if they win hang on to your wallet ,they’ll be coming after it

    3. @2old4dispoop Forget it and all you know how to do is call people names …. a turd ??? I make myself look stupid , what makes you a good judge of character … who do you actually believe you are ? God ???

    4. @Gremy Saint I am no one. Just an American, you know freedom of speech thing. Pass judgement, GOD! Who’s god. Which one. You support a traitorous, murdering pig. Yeah I spoke out. Gonna vote tomorrow in person. Oh that’s right Trump and Republicans are doing voter suppression so your really quite nice.

    1. @Marie Moffatt hospital beds needs staff and infrastructure. It’s not that easy. Some system are overwhelmed like in Italy in March.

  3. Don’t take a thing for granted no matter how good it looks, go vote early and help others vote too if you can. Make it an earthquake.

    1. (WE) need a (Blue Wave Landslide) over President Donald J. Trump and his (far-right) Republican’s in Congress ! ! Save our Senior Citizens’ and (Social Security), and save (America).., “Vote Him Out ! !”..

    2. @Firestar How…how can you still vote for the Orange turd?……what kind of person can even rationalize this?

  4. This is sad America…when our country throws away our elderly just because they can’t handle them. This is Trump’s America. This is what we have become, ask yourself.. did Trump really make America Great Again? Vote Blue because obviously, our grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts and all citizens with preexisting conditions, people of color are more at risk , and Trump and his GOP enablers, don’t think they are worth saving, or fighting to save them.

    1. I object to your use of the term “people of color”. They are people that are better suited to living on this planet.

    2. @Roald Shakleton Oh really…guess what they call themselves? “people of color” And this doesn’t mean just black, it can mean people of brown , anything not white.
      I mean really..to talk to someone , you need to use language they use…not what YOU think they should use.

    3. @hankakah Albinos have zero pigment. It’s a matter of degree for everyone else. Never have seen a “white person”. That would be weird. Perhaps an alabaster statue or Lot’s wife after she turned around.

    4. @Roald Shakleton Now you’re getting stupiid. Really want to go there? Even White Supremacists say White Power. How stupid reasoning..really…wtf?

    1. President Donald J. Trump and his White House Administration.., should be “Crimes Against Humanity ! !”. And actually.., serve Jail or Prison time.. “Do the crime, do the time ! !” What President Donald J. Trump is doing.., is a (Crime).. Save (America) and save (Americans’).., “Vote him Out ! !”..

  5. I hope there’s no Americans needing normal medical help in the US because its going to get alot harder to get into a hospital.

    1. @Firestar LoL. Trump is for racism & police brutality, which the protests, & the riots, were against, so it does kinda circle back to him. Thanks for reminding us.

    2. @Firestar In Trump’s own words, he is responsible: Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Nov 8, 2013
      Leadership: Whatever happens, you’re responsible. If it doesn’t happen, you’re responsible

    3. @Firestar Comparing rioting to a pandemic is false equivalency. The disease would’ve and has spread regardless of whether there were riots or not. The riots would’ve happened without the disease being present. Riots and protests are not contagious. They would have eventually stopped. The riots haven’t taken 200,000+ lives. The riots haven’t lead to people being unemployed or evicted. The riots didn’t contribute to the economy crashing. Do you honestly think that the riots would have had this big an effect on the population?

  6. At the start of the pandemic all the experts were saying “We’ve got to flatten the curve.” Now some nations did do that; they did flatten the curve. But in the United States governors were too hasty to reopen their states, doing so at even just a slight decline, rather than when the curve was flattened. As a result, things have only gotten worse in the United States.

    1. But Michael Trump pushed the Governors to reopen the States- Liberate MI- Go get Free Georgia- etc– NOW look at the USA

    1. The swamp whisperers supporters don’t care. Even if their loved one passes away they will still be up his colon.

  7. There are areas of Idaho that have reached 100% capacity also. What is sad about these areas is that people refuse to wear masks and do other things to reduce their chances of being infected by the virus.

  8. Fast becoming a dire crisis like in Italy with the first wave. Poor woman had to live with dead husband’s body for days cos there were no available beds; not even coroners to transfer the body to the mortuary. It was awful, just awful. I hope America does not get that bad. Please take care and stay safe.

    1. Not all Republicans, just Trump Republican enablers. We have to rid the party of the ogre of Trumpism and return to old fashioned Republicanism of the Ronald Reagan era.

    2. POSTED BY Tonya Green 47 minutes ago in response to a message regarding IV C.

      @Altair IV you are correct. My husband had covid in August. Luckily I’m a lowly M.A but I have an 02 sensor in my home. When he said he felt like he was having a hard time catching his breath I tested him and his 02 sat was 85. I immediately took him to the hospital. They tested his 02 sats and it had dropped to 76. They wanted to put him on a ventilator and I said NO. They put him on Oxygen and got his 02 to come up to 89. After further testing he had a blood clot in his lung. They put him on elemis and I told them I wanted him on a Vitamin C and D3 IV. They tried to refuse me and I pushed they finally did it. He came home 2 days later with oxygen and the blood thinner.

      After 2 more days he was of all oxygen and was feeling great. I still give him D3 and Vitamin c everyday. Had I not been there he would have been put on a ventilator and they wouldn’t have given him the IV Vitamins either. He is 54 very overweight had high blood pressure and only one kidney. Today he’s doing great. My husband won’t stand up for himself or even me. I switched my advanced directive to my daughter who is an RN and a bulldog like me. I doubt I will get covid since I don’t wear a mask and he drank out of my drink everyday before he was diagnosed with covid and even after. When he came home neither of us wore masks around each other and slept in the same bed. So either I’m immune or I got it and was asymptomatic.

    1. If you research it , he wasn’t responsible one bit , Dr. Fausi, Joe Biden, Pelosi and everyone was wrong , Biden did call him racist for closing off China, Dr Fausi said no need to worry . Don’t buy into the fear mongering, it’s all politicized by Dems
