  1. We don’t get well COUNTRY WIDE till Biden and science based leadership is the rule
    not the exception. Register on line EARLY, MAIL BALLOTS EARLY. Trump’s UNDERFUNDED crippling the Post Office and complaining about “rigged” elections is kicking you in the teeth and shooting you for mumbling. Complaining about your own sabotage isn’t selling. Trump. Register on line EARLY, MAIL BALLOTS EARLY and “flatten the curve” voting this NOVEMBER by VOTING AS EARLY AS YOU CAN!!!

    1. bottom line if theirs no personal profit Trump don’t want nothing to do with it American deaths means nothing to him as long as he is president their will be alot more Trump is like a scared kid playing with matches which started a fire and cant put it out

    2. @Massey Forbusiness If that’s the case, I’d love to know why all the women settled or went away. Because, I know for me, I’d have taken him straight to court.

      As a woman, I don’t put up with “funny business”. But then again, I’m not an opportunist or a gold digger.🤷‍♀️

    3. News Flash>>> Joe already lost by proclaiming” I will go down as the most progressive president in history”. And if  that’s not enough President Trump just received the endorsement of Law enforcement which he didn’t even have or need in 2016. And if that still doesn’t do it then Joe will be hammered in the debates if he shows up. And if he doesn’t show then people will know he’s to weak and feeble to defend what he’s been told to believe.  Either way Joe loses. Democrats are in full panic mode and using the same old race card mixed with the new phobe
      Card which is hilarious being Biden is picking his VP based on race & gender which is racist & discriminatory in itself.
      The Hypocrisy!!

  2. Why does Trump not seem to take this Pandemic seriously? Does Putin pay Trump a bounty for every American who dies of the Trump Virus?

    1. @family lowe temper! Temper! Why are you so triggered? Nobody ever ordered you to stay away from crowds it was a polite request preceded by a please. Take a chill pill dude.

    2. @family lowe because, in spite of Trump’s only response being to shut down airline flights in February, he hasn’t done jackshit since then. It’s the other leaders in this country, Governors, mayor’s Etc who have been doing their darnedest to try to turn the tide.

    3. How many died? Four point six one-hundredths of one percent. (0.046%) That’s all. I got tired of waiting for the pandemic so I went back to work and I’m going to make a mint after Trump is reelected.

    4. family lowe the 200,000 rate was if we did nothing. Kinda like a house on fire and not calling the fire department. But more like you called the fire department and the firemen were out golfing and tweeting.
      Key number is infection rate per test. That rate goes from single digits To 21%.
      And it’s not just deaths. Long term issues are expected for some survivors.
      Other question is if it was Obama in charge would you be pleased w these results? The answer is no.

    1. A plan of BS is not a plan! Spread
      The virus quickly and efficiently and that will make republicans happy

  3. Trump will inevitably destroy anything he touches.

    Trump wants America to reelect him as a reward for the more than150K American lives lost due to his indifference and criminal negligence. He also wants the American people to reward him his nonstop grifting. He actually wants you to reward him, and even praise him, for his craven and abominable behavior.

    Mary Trump:
    “When things turned south in the late 1980s, Fred Trump could no longer separate himself from his son’s brutal ineptitude; the father had no choice but to stay invested,” Mary Trump writes.
    “His monster had been set free.”

    “This is the end result of Donald’s having continually been given a pass and rewarded not just for his failures but for his transgressions – against tradition, against decency, against the law, and against fellow human beings,” Mary Trump writes in her new book.

    1. Forrest Trump What a wonderful example of a childish reply. We might hear comments like that on a third grade playground. I wonder how long your brain had to strain to come up with that reply. Nevertheless, it was juvenile so now you must go to your room and don’t come out until you’re told. You get no chocolate pudding for dessert.

    2. @Forrest Trump The deaths are mostly in the Blue state, NY, NJ, MI, MN, etc. Congrats. Oh, and thanks for paying all that federal tax to help the poor people, everywhere.

    3. @Forrest Trump How many people do you know personally who have died from it? Can you tell me why the msm is against a drug that has actually has shown better than 50% improvements when given at the early diagnosis of the patient?
      Why is their main focus on a drug used for over 60 years have so much focus on it being Approved to treat Coronavirus in clinical trials? Do these people sound like they want to save your life if you were actually infected & tested positive?
      Do they give you any Hope that life can return to much better than it was before Coronavirus lockdowns?

    4. @Forrest Trump Look up what the daily average death counts are in America then just look up the CDC Coronavirus death count for the day and do that math to find out just how deadly it is.
      CDC reports its a 0.23% percentage rate so not even 1% deadly in all truth. Don’t be so afraid its exactly what the MSM really wants the most!

    1. News Flash>>> Joe already lost by proclaiming” I will go down as the most progressive president in history”.

    2. FIGHTING FOR GOODNESS LMAO. You really believe this? Like seriously? 😂 Red states are literally turning purple. Republicans are abandoning trump in droves. He doesn’t even have a campaign strategy less than 100 days from the election.

    1. @Bernhard Weber Thing is it isn’t just about more people registering…..it’s getting people that have registered to actually go vote.

      The turnout in 2016 was just embarrassing.

    2. News Flash>>> Joe already lost by proclaiming” I will go down as the most progressive president in history”.

  4. College officials say they won’t bring students back to campus this fall without expanded coronavirus testing and tracing.

    Without adequate testing, universities “can’t function at all,” Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, told members of the U.S. Senate.

    CNBC/Noah Higgins-Dunn/ THU, JUN 4 2020

    1. @Jeff Gibson what choice is there in: pay or die? Especially when 1 person needs 3 minimum wage jobs, just to make ends meet?
      It’s a false choice and you are predictably failing to comprehend the issue. You sound like Chaffetz, “people can choose to get healthcare or a phone” ; what a bad argument.

    2. @sfamerken12 Americans are the healthiest people on earth. Look at me, for instance. What’s wrong with YOU? Why do you hate it that Americans have the liberty to buy what they want? Make up your mind to become a millionaire and you’ll never be afraid again.

    3. @Jeff Gibson no, you moron. You are saying: become a millionair or die/don’t get an education.
      Are you that stupid or entitled?.
      Bring some facts or stay quiet, you are too rediculous to be granted entry to this discussion.

    1. AS Trump said, if you don’t test, you have no official case count. zero testing, zero cases. Problems solves… just lot of people dying for unknown reasons…. but tthat doesn’t matter, American can hire immigrants to do the work.

    2. Nick L – Trumps major problem right now is that he can’t keep up with the coverup. There are only so many people who are as corrupt as he is and blindly loyal. Hence his government leaking like a sieve and constant congressional hearings. He’s cronies that he stacked his administration with don’t understand that hiding your dirt in Washington is hard and people never stop looking. They just think they can deregulate everything and hide it.

  5. The reason why the covid 19 is spreading in Republican states is because they opened the country to early in the first place… Oops

    1. Valerie Galvan Yes indeed this is a no brainer. Florida, we have a very high tourist meca. Tourist from all over the country and in some cases all over the world enjoy FL. There was the thought early on that the summer heat and sun would have a disastrous effect on the virus and in most cases this is generally so. But as we learned in Singapore people go out and then they go back inside and live in air-conditioned climate controlled buildings. So, they are not spending a lot of time in the sun and the HVAC in the high-rise apartments, the offices and the tooourist hotels likely contribute to spreading the virus. It has nothing to do with politics.
      Addressing Texas, and Arizona New Mexico and California, we see a huge spike in COVID-19 in Mexico. A few weeks ago the Mexican health minister was lamenting about the tremendous increase in the virus in Mexico. Most recently hospitals in Mexico are overwhelmed with Mexicans suffering from the virus. Now we have Mexican citizens coming into the United States to be treated in American hospitals along the border.
      I commented because somebody was trying to make a political issue out of this virus. I mentioned some of our very progressive states that suffered catastrophic deaths very early on. I was trying to provide a perspective. This is a pandemic and it is despicable for somebody to try to tie politics into it.

    2. @T. R. Campbell I agree about this pandemic being politicized, but isn’t that exactly what you did? You could have said instead that this pandemic recognizes no politics, but you pointed directly to democratic cities. I think, my opinion only, that you missed the mark. Sorry if I offended you, that is not my intent.

  6. These people are crazy you can train set up interviews and everything else but people are not hiring and paying nothing near a livable wage . That part was conveniently left out !

  7. Trump bankrupted 6 times. Now he is about to achieving his 7th by bankrupting America, morally, economically and health-wise. He is ultimate Loser.

    1. @wiremantw Freedom & Liberty Forever Aww, you almost sounded like you had at least some link to reality in your previous post – now you had to go and make your delusions (and inability to perform basic mathematical functions, much less comprehend broader economic pictures) sadly clear. Boring – but all too typical Trumpian.

    2. @low key Yea keep dreaming kid! All you really have to do is PROVE me WRONG or just be quiet.

    3. @wiremantw Freedom & Liberty Forever Nope, all I have to do is laugh at you. Would you bother wasting time proving that your nose isn’t a strangely orange shade of brown…to a blind man?

    4. @low key Nice attempt to belittle me as you try to hurt my feelings. Well that just is not going to happen here child because I really don’t care what you think or feel about me!
      I don’t know you!!! You are NOTHING to me!
      Why would I even begin to care about it?
      So pathetic you were reduced to attempted personal attacks because you just don’t have any counter arguments to the Truths I will talk about and call out on the Marxist Democrat party of today!
      Stop talking about Russia its Not a Socialist Country anymore. Worry about that Socialist Democrat your casting a vote for = Joe Biden. lol. Who ever his VP is.
      She will be the Real President because Joe already lost his mind and everyone knows it!

    5. @low key Well I don’t take the wrapper off a straw and wonder for 2 minutes what end goes into the drink like Joe Biden and you do. As a black man my nose was always brown! FYI I was also a Democrat once apon a time.

    1. Joann Edwards if proper mitigation is put in place it would be safe to work, but the mitigation needs innovative thinking and costs the employers money. They need to think of the costs as investment in there companies instead of unnecessary costs.

    2. @Teresa S. Most Big companies have the income to keep their business going on their own for years, to come. Most have gained more income from this virus 🦠 COVID-19. They miss their Human Capital, who will make more money for them. Most people want to work, but who wants to work wondering if they will bring the deadly virus home to their love ones. No one can go by the theory of less testing less cases. I just hope I’m around to see this madness stop come Nov. For now all anyone can do is be cautious and stay safe.😷

    3. Don’t be silly. The only ones who are afraid are democrat hypochondriacs. We’re all healthy out here in the counties.

  8. The BS keeps on coming. Look you have a disaster of a health system, poor, uninsured, infected people will not use medical help. That means of all the industrialized countries, the US will stay a virus sponge for years. There will be on going clusters ongoing. Kiss your tourist industry good bye. Hotel/motel trade gone. Airlines down sized.

  9. This gov is talking past tense. We currently have a virus running wild in case she doesn’t know? Screw RI.

  10. Republican senators fear that people who are forced to stay at home because of a badly handled corona crisis prefer doing nothing, because that is exactly what they are doing in the senate: nothing.

  11. I guess Trump will see this and start tweeting at the governor of RI because she actually knows how to lead you know he hates strong women 🤦🏾‍♂️

  12. Trump : Too dangerous to keep election day. Too dangerous to hold RNC convention..

    Also Trump : Send kids back to school though
