    1. Ive never been so excited for rallys before. I wont be attending. But I will be watching the infection and death rate double 2 weeks after said rallys. You have people, who believe a rambling drug addict over a medical doctor who has served 6 presidents D and R… so… maybe listen to him. I think the red ink that came out of china is effecting their thinking.

    2. @Cindee K Run along to your little rally now. Isnt that what you wanted. Why are you complaining. The day is yours, celebrate by hugging another republican. #HugARepublicanDay

    3. J W – Like Good Old Nancy did 🤗🤗🤗in late February in Chinatown in San Francisco fool??? Yup – #TRUMP2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️

    1. Democrats RED DAWN IS COMING: Democrat Christy Smith conceded the special election race for California’s 25th Congressional District to Republican Mike Garcia on Wednesday, marking the first time Republicans will retake a Democratic-held congressional seat in the state since 1998 — and, Republicans said, indicating that enthusiasm for President Trump is strong heading into the 2020 elections. Latinos For Trump

    2. @Sanctum Sanctorum Yeah, then some guy would come along and say “me thinks you protest too much.”

  1. tRump doesn’t care if they all get infected. He just wants a temporary front to make it look like he’s bringing America back before the cases begin to skyrocket again.

    1. Why will the media not ask Trump if he is seeking treatment for his clearly deteriorating mental health?
      Trump has never been particularly coherent but his latest outbursts show a marked decline in his mental condition. I’m no mental health specialist but I know aberrant behavior when I see it and Trump’s derangement borders on the absurd.
      There’s no way America can come back from this, the USA is effectively finished. It’s too divided, unequal and self obsessed to ever be a united country, it’s just a motely collection of rival states split into two political allegiances that hate each others guts.

    2. They’re already on the rise throughout the midwest, we’ve seen what trumps instincts have produced in the last few months

    1. @Lilli C I think the point they’re making is that if he feels it’s dangerous enough to wear a mask, it’s dangerous enough not to open businesses.

    3. @frictionRx9 Did you guys know its possible to get paid from home by posting anti american rhetoric for nazi affiliated groups? Just ask this guy and he’ll hook you up.

    1. Yeap, plus, no disrespect to my fellow Pennsylvanians but this is what happens when you voted for Drumpf in 2016 out of emotions instead of calibrating your thoughts with your minds.

      That’s the typical, critical mistake the populace makes: emotionally voting. 💯

    2. Totally agree. They don’t understand it and think they can just ignore it. The virus loves people like that. Yum yum.

    3. @El Ram To be fair, they can only vote on emotion because they don’t know much about very much….and Fox Lies ensures what little they think they know is garbage anyway.

  2. “Mayhem and Death” brought to you by The Orange Moron. Don’t forget to tune in for part two, “The Resurgence”.

  3. Please please. Hold a Trump rally. Dont wear masks. make sure to hug and kiss on each other. scream MAGA as loud as you can into each others mouths. Im sure it will be fine, since its a hoax right… riiight. Trump literally wants the state to open JUST to serve his ego. Im never amazed.

    1. You got that right and I’m hoping and praying that people staying at home you heard him on that phone TV tell you some people have to die and he’s willing to risk Our Lives just to benefit his campaign taco salad dressing is not a doctor he’s a swindler is a cheetah a liar

    3. NDFOOTBALL sorry to pop your balloon but this district election doesn’t indicate anything. this has long been a moderate county that voted republican for governors 5 times and then for the current gov.newsome. it includes vet conservative area such as Simi Valley and Santa Clarita ( both very white) as well as a huge expanse of rural california. theres nothing surprising or substantial about this election at all. and californians can’t stand trump and approve of newsom by 70 percent and trump is trailing biden 29 to 67.

  4. Pennsylvania don’t do it. Instead when tRump visits lock your doors cause tRump is very virulent & you don’t want to catch tRumps virulent strain of CovFeFe-19 Morona Virus!

  5. On May 12, 2020, Trump tweeted this gem.
    Trump: “Remember this, every Governor who has sky high approval on their handling of the Coronavirus, and I am happy for them all, could in no way have gotten those numbers, or had that success, without me!!!”

    This is what the deranged ramblings of a narcissistic sociopath looks like.

    So one day man-baby says he has total authority, and the next day, he says he takes no responsibility, and now he wants to take credit for governor’s high approval ratings.

    1. It’s laughable, because the governors with the most approval are the ones ignoring tRump and listening to medical advisors.

    2. You cant take NO responsibility, and expect to take ALL the credit, but that’s Donald dump for you.

    3. Yes, President Trump, your absolutely right. Because you did nothing to help them, and in fact everything to hinder them, like stealing their orders of PPE, they MUST thank you for their approval numbers for succeeding in spite of your hindering the process.

  6. Good people of Pennsylvania lock your doors & lock up your daughters cause Donald tRump is coming to town & your State. Protect yourselves from him!

  7. This clown-fiësta is seen here in Europe as a great example of how not to tackle a deadly virus. We’re opening up, too, but our trajectory has been going down for more than 2 weeks, yours is going up.

    1. @NDFOOTBALL Do you copy and paste your crap? Come up with something to say or go back to Fox

    2. @NDFOOTBALL Did you guys know its possible to get paid from home by posting anti american rhetoric for nazi affiliated groups? Just ask this guy and he’ll hook you up.

    3. NDFOOTBALL The only party involved with election meddling has always been the confederate party, the Republicans within the confederate party have always announced it but in America we know the truth.

    4. Its mostly in Republicans states.
      Only 3,000 dead in California.
      It’s still too high😫

  8. Just open up already !live or let die !your new anthem should be R.E.M S “ This is the end of the world as we know it”

    1. Conservatives are blocking universal health care, so there is some justice in the world.

  9. “How dare the governor threaten our counties over the virus as I whine through my mask because of the virus!!!”

    1. It’s a numbers game: Covid-19 bought to you by Chump-45 in 2020 ignoring 2 months warning so there’s now 82,000 dead and over 30 million unemployed with a national debt of 24 trillion dollars and rising.
      So much winning America but I guess that’s what you get when the person with least votes wins, what an odd country.
      Cheers

  10. It’s going to be a long time before the Canadians open their border to the Plague States of America. It’s incredible watching so many people in America be so stupid.

    1. @Uffi Sachs haha yeah you can get paid for what hes doin but now i suspect he isnt as even nazi bots have to do better than that

    1. @NDFOOTBALL Did you guys know its possible to get paid from home by posting anti american rhetoric for nazi affiliated groups? Just ask this guy and he’ll hook you up.

    2. NDFOOTBALL that area have always been conservative. Even the old representative is conservative bc she have neo nazi tattoos near her vajayjay but decided to run as a democrat because she’s a lesbian.
