  1. As COVID rages…..
    Our president plays golf, binge tweets, eats Cheetos and hugs his Teddy Bear while watching TV.
    So much for America First

    1. That would have been so *AWESOME* if that were the case! Thin out the herd by killing the stupid! And not a single firearm is necessary!

  2. We need to retire the phrase: “Avoid it like the plague” A huge chunk of humans are apparently too stupid to do that.

    1. Hi Mary all what you just said in your comment page was great and amazing. Well Mary if you don’t mind can we be friends, like seriously I feel you’re a nice person. sorry for comment on Public stuff. Here is my email address Greg maxwell755@gmail.com you can contact me up with it.

    1. oh, it’s a real thing. the people championing it just don’t understand the implications. they think herd immunity will make them immune when statistically, it will just make them dead.

      natural selection isn’t about who’s best. it’s only about who’s left.

  3. Over the years America became a country of anti science, anti education and having no shame. And now it’s all on full display for the world to see.

    1. Umm no. We’ve always been into science and education. Our education system needs work and that’s what the USA is trying to do. As far as science, lol have you not been paying attention to what has been happening medically and technologically?

  4. How pathetic and sad and empty these people must be that they can’t entertain themselves in their own homes. The sense of entitlement one must feel to just galavant around with no concern for other humans.

  5. . Wearing a mask isn’t about politics or social pressure, it’s about IQ. It’s true that you can’t fix stupid, and as it turns out, you can’t quarantine it either! Peace ♥

  6. I hope the UN gets involved in his prosecution for crimes against humanity.
    His lies have infected and killed more than just americans.

  7. the worst comment I heard about the old people who died of covid in local nursing home “but they were already very sick”. Very pro live.

    1. l k: My mother would have been 100 this year and my father 103. Well, no one would expect them to live that long, but my mother died at 57 and my father at 72. Some of my other relatives died quite young too. Smoking, you know. They never got to be old. How can Trump supporters simply dismiss the lives of old people just because they are old? Here’s news for them: unless they are looking forward to dying at 57 and 72 — my parents certainly weren’t — they are going to be old someday and there’s going to be a pandemic again. Are they going to feel old people are disposable if they are the ones being written off and disposed of by their grandchildren’s generation, when they could have been saved for whatever further number of years they would have had to contribute to the lives of the people around them, even it’s just other people in the nursing home? It’s quite clear now that Republicans stop being “pro-life” the moment a being is actually living and breathing on its own. As if a two-year old kid or a 92-year old grandparent were less worthy of concern from others than a two-month old embryo/fetus.

  8. Being “in denial” is simply Trump’s feral instinct to adopt a faux aggressive contrary stance to whatever the widely held educated belief is. As with most things, he clearly couldn’t give a flying sh*t about people or facts – his carney huckster routine stirs up the ignorance & belligerence in his fans – the people he actually despises most. 😢🇺🇸

  9. 40% of this country has decided thinking is too hard, and a red hat is a perfectly acceptable substitute to a brain. 🙄

  10. Trump said the virus would disappear after election instead the US has record levels of infection
    Fitting for this record-breaking failure of an impeached “president”.
    #BYEDON2020

    1. Specifically, he said the media would completely stop talking about it, as the only reason they ever mentioned it was to harm his election chances.
