Sen. Durbin: Trump Cannot Solve Covid Aid Problems By Executive Order | Stephanie Ruhle | MSNBC
Trump does not have time to solve the problems of the people … he only wants to continue being president and the rest that continues to collapse …
Donald Trump is putting on a show to make it look like he’s working. If he really cared, he wouldn’t be sabotaging the response everyday.
He doesn’t even start working until 11am!
@moestavernprankcall Then he goes out to play some golf. https://www.trumpgolfcount.com
Trump will go away as covid go away…..
We wish 😵
Remember when republicans lost their collective 💩 because they thought Obama was acting like a king with his Executive Orders?
Odd that they don’t seem to mind now? 🤔 🙄
@Buddy Mckimmey –meanwhile give Trump & his supporters ETERNITY & none of youse will develop as much as a HINT of a PARTICLE of an ATOM of a clue. The proof is in the puddin’ that is Trump’s “brain” & the results of his MAGAt “leadership” (which so far amounts to blame everyone from Obama to CHIN-NAAA! for his FAILURE)
@Utah-kin2me? 👈always wanting more of something never satisfied
@Buddy Mckimmey –What’s that–a president that acts like an adult & doesn’t make statements like “I don’t take responsibility for anything,” & “The buck stops with everybody?” AND IT BE TRUE! And how do you know me to know I’m never satisfied? By a couple of youtube chat-post statements? And you even know everyone on this one’s ages? If one didn’t know Trump’s age and read some things he’s said they’d sure guess HIS as being juvenile. I’ll be plenty satisfied whenever deficient Dumpsterstank’s out of office for SURE; YOU’LL be the disappointed sniveling liddle presumptuous puke lookin’ for another fat slob daddy
@Utah-kin2me? ok Shirley
@Buddy Mckimmey way off with the birthday but you can try again. Only this time…. use your brain.
“COVID-19 is certainly revealing some uncomfortable truths about America. For example, everyday brings a new reminder that we are a country of extreme-haves, and extreme have-nots. And I’m not talking about money – we all knew that. I’m talking about people having accurate information. In this pandemic, “accurate” information has made toilet paper seem plentiful.
America, the country that has the most Nobel Prizes in science, also has the most willfully ignorant people per capita when it comes to understanding science.
How else can we explain electing a low-information bu.ffoon, who wheezes medical tips on our TVs about poisoning ourselves with disinfectants.
And maybe the most clueless aspect of that supposedly “sarcastic” advice is that Trump thinks we can still find disinfectants at stores. I guess we’re finding that a pandemic isn’t the ideal thing to happen to a country that believes science is just an opinion. Just something you roll the dice and decide whether you believe, instead of something you actually try to understand. And whether it’s evolution, vaccines, or viruses, Americans are far busier dismissing inconvenient science as politically motivated, than they are learning about how it will effect their lives. Because NOT believing in Darwinism, IS Darwinism.
Because America is a country that cares more about the financial health of its corporations, than the actual health of its citizens. After all, who got most of the bailout cash? Corporations!!
And who is behind the “grassroots” push to prematurely reopen America? Corporations, and the (republican) politicians corporations pay. But science doesn’t watch foxnews, so it doesn’t know that it’s just a DNC “hoax” or some other childish QAnon conspiracy.
Republican Governors believe that sacrifices have to be made for corporate profits. And that your grandmother, may just be one of them. And because Donald ” I don’t take responsibility at all” Trump, is passing the buck to Governors to make decisions, so Donald won’t be blamed.
America’s approach to this pandemic is ad-hoc, conflicting, and piecemeal. Exactly the type of uncoordinated response that helps spread a pandemic. South Korea’s response was like a well conducted symphony. America’s is like an open mic night at improv.
We have states with policies founded on epidemiological research, surrounded by states with policies founded on Twitter hashtags. Oddly enough, viruses don’t respect state lines. Or your beliefs in how deadly they are. The worst states spread the virus, and prolong the pandemic for the rest of us.
This pandemic has proven two things: You’re only as healthy as the most stupid person in America; and his name, is Donald J Trump.
Trump: “And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body.”
–Mrs. Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian
Nowhere is the disparity between Haves and Have Nots, more apparent than in Democrat majority States. The top 4 States with the LEAST Income inequality are All RED STATES. Democrat policies DESTROY the middle Class.
Hey did anybody catch J0E saying that all bIack people think the same with few exceptions?
And remember you “ain’t” bIack if you vote your mind!
DEBATE-BOWL 2020 because the American people want to see Joe’s cognitive abilities!!🇺🇲🇺🇲
Where’s sleepy creepy basement J0E?
Oh man the Debates are going to be EPIC!
Blacks For Trump “Good people on both sides.”
@ Blacks for frump….FAKE NEWS!!!!
They cant Ford Netflix let alone chocolate. And then there is keeping the lights on and a roof over your head
How do you Ford Netflix? Or even Ford chocolate? What are you even saying?
Why should the extension of benefits for unemployed people be two thirds less than it was before? Why would people not need the same amount in order to survive? Did the Republicans give away too much money to their rich buddies? Do they need more money for a new F.B.I. building while children starve? They have no shred of human decency. I am sick of hearing about Joe Biden’s gaffes. At least he is a decent, caring person. And let the person who has never made a gaffe throw the first stone. We all say things that someone can take the wrong way if they choose. This entire administration has been one big gaffe. And never an apology for any of it. They are never responsible for anything.
I totally agree with what you’ve said…notice how there are no comments by ignorant trump supporters here…gees you think they don’t like FACTS…thanks for your input…stay safe stay healthy from Canada!!!
T R U M P 2020 ***** ////// T R U M P 2020 ***** ////// T R U M P 2020 ***** ////// T R U M P 2020 ***** ////// T R U M P 2020 ***** //////
Thank you for your excellent comment. I feel comfort in those who can express my feelings.
Full accountability for all past and present PPP funds.
Kanye West got 2 Million $$$ in PPP Money for his Yezzy Co. and a list of Trump’s Millionaire buddies also got Millions in PPP Loan Money.
And the Republicans are Crying, about
Helping the AMERICAN People / Tax Payers. Who trying to keep their heads above water. SHAMEFUL !!!!
There’s nowhere to run to.
Trump , Ted Cruz, Mitch, & Lindsey <~~~ going back to golf place this weekend.😠😠
All that golfing costs us taxpayers a lot of money. https://www.trumpgolfcount.com
I wish it would be back to the Swamps.
Thank you Senator Durbin, for trying your best at dealing with the Nazis and Confederates.
The post office being bogged down by package is a rural problem because Amazon and UPS do most of the delivery where population density is high. So doing this to disrupt mail in voting will effect rural areas the most where Trump gets most of his votes, as usual it’s hard to understand the stable genius.
America has found a leader who can tell the difference between a lion and an elephant.
Surely, the same towering genius will know how to take care of citizens when there’s a bug going round. If not, let an elephant trample him and a lion eat the remains.
If Obama was in office we wouldn’t be going threw this..because we didn’t and he was face with a pandemic. Like trump wow
Putin said make America suffer trump.
Trumps said no problem DADDY
The pre schooler got to go
This has been the worst 3 1/2 years in the History of the US..
Trump just wants to line his pockets with any $.
More “important”people have to die before anything is done us in the middle class are just fodder.
Yep DemRats only path to power is to destroy the country and blame Trump
#endtoxiccapitalism
@BB Wolf wow, great talking points. I can’t believe you were able to fit so many fact-based details into one comment. You must have really done your research.
@Nope NopeI find your attempt at sarcasm funny . You’re the problem . Don’t believe your lying eyes is the DemRat way . I’m ready and prepared . I bet you’re not . God save you because I won’t .
@BB Wolf Trump love you uneducated ones. Its easier to pull fast ones.
Thanks you covid 19 for exposing the hypocrisy of the US
Ambushing the Postal Service
Complaining like a whining three year old never nurtured with care
Being taught hatred for any critique with an obnoxious narcissistic flare
Sending children heartlessly to cages and funneling them off to school
or starving them by robbing their lunch boxes watching their saliva drool.
Avoiding leadership throwing wood into the stove of an old locomotive
imagining his Kungflu was a runaway train as indifference is his motive.
Defaulting by uttering discrepancies which do not exist spreading falsehood
with his repetitive nonsense distracting confusing our sense of brotherhood.
The modernity of oversight has our postal service impeccably tracing
each protected parcel whether absentee or mail-in devoid of misplacing.
Therefore the percentage of error is reduced to a minimum of possible fraud
so pull back your thuggish troops and replace them with a pacified riot squad.
Leave it to Jesse James to haul the Pony Express to a halt with a nasty ambush
or Wells Fargo losing their grip of the filthy banks during the 1849 Gold Rush.
Let the heart of communication offer their results without the crony DeJoy,
whom our Prez appointed, to disrupt the speed of delivery as a stupid decoy.
Hence the honcho will ride his apocalyptic horse stalling the very election
thinking he can retain his power by attacking with another erroneous deflection.
Criticizing our sacred citizen’s right to exercise our ultimate democratic deed
by ridding us of a sociopath whose niece has evaluated as a criminal indeed.
Your hunger for dominance is expressed by your paramilitaristic nameless studs
who desecrate our first amendment with their billy clubs as they scrub-a-dub-dub.
Ruining the coziness of a summer night in Portland bringing nannies to the street
whom you at least didn’t pepper spray in the light of day for it would be so indiscreet.
Sarcastically our man of human scum reflects on our communities of intelligence
ridiculing their honesty while Billy stamps his ticket for his reckless style of negligence.
Your American Dream is a nightmarish irresponsible destruction of our Nature
while fracking up the Texan landscape with no masks and idiotically inviting danger.
Still the handcuffs are waiting with the anointing of our new Attorney General
sorting through your disgraces which stink to high heaven which isn’t paradoxical.
As the polls keep plummeting, your descent is inevitable and an absolute prerequisite
as no economic recovery will save your cheap presidency, the antithesis of exquisite.
Well Louis was so generous to our autocrat,he has filled his cup with millions of dollars.
I think the time has arrived when we need to stomp, rage, thump, scream and holler.
Now he is our Postmaster General with no résumé and has declared the end of overtime.
Notwithstanding 20% of this was needed for the Post’s success and now it’s undermined.
“Neither snow or rain nor the gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift
completion of their appointed round.” Nevertheless DeJoy gives us no joy or lift.
Your incompetency is evident and I rebel against you fudging with this glorious tradition.
The day will come when we will unravel Trumpism and send him and his cronies to prison.
Paul Amrod
What a load of crap . You sound like a worthless public school teacher lol
