  1. vote early or on November the 3rd…
    vote for common sense…
    medical science…
    and basic human decency…

  2. You mean the “Great Trump death cult declaration” you shouldn’t call it anything else it gives those quack Doctors bought off by the koch brother more credibility then they deserve.

  3. Trump has the power of three men in one body…
    The Scarecrow wishing he had a brain.
    The Tin Man who wanted in heart.
    The Cowardly Lion with Bone Spurs.
    Does that make Mike Pence Dorothy or Toto ?

    1. @Gina Kay Plus, they failed to realize that they already possessed the qualities ( and in Dorothy’s case, the ability to go home any time she wanted) they sought from the wizard.

    2. What’s going on here ? We were told masks were effective against C19-From the AP: U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that cloth face coverings or masks are mostly ineffective in preventing the spread of the coronavirus as promoted by public health officials.

      The CDC conducted the study, in the U.S. in July and made its findings public in September. It compared 154 “case-patients,” those who tested positive for COVID-19 (coronavirus disease), and a control group of 160 “control-participants,” those who were symptomatic but tested negative.

      CDC researchers examined participants who reported wearing a cloth face covering or mask at least 14 days before illness onset, which falls into the incubation period of 2–14 days estimated by the agency.

      The researchers found that 71 percent of the case-patients contracted the virus despite reporting “always” wearing a cloth face covering or mask at least 14 days before illness onset, and 14 percent contracted the virus despite reporting “often” wearing one at least 14 days before illness onset.

    1. @Tara Reade he doesnt have dementia at all. He has amazing energy to talk every day in different state with out rest for his age. If you where you I dont think you will survive calling him dementia. Carefull what you saw is what you will get.

    2. @Eden Tesfagaber Okay, look. You can like Joe Biden, but he very, very clearly has dementia. Don’t lie to yourself because it is incredibly obvious. As someone who works with nursing homes, it’s pretty obvious.

    1. @Thomas Zimmerman Unlikely to survive another 25 years with your stupidity. Here is a little something I call math. 70% of population needed for herd immunity. 70% of 328 million Americas X by 1% death rate equals 2.8 million dead Americans (possibly someone you love). Though I can’t imagine who would. Not to mention what kind of shape those who have long terms illnesses and the continuing effects to the economy and education system. The US has 4% of the worlds population and 20% of the worlds deaths. Which puts us close to the bottom in terms of performance. But I guess your ok with those numbers or you’d rather just stay inside your Fox News Media Bubble and soak up Trumps Tweets.

    2. @George Masters Even if we reach 30 herd immunity, it is significantly better to have fewer potential carriers.

    3. @leschab Keep living in your fantasy world where science isn’t real. I however, prefer reality, where science is real. Bye Bye. 😘

  4. Doesn’t anybody in authority listen to their medical staff? It’s just ridiculous that trump is allowed to lead his country into devastation

    1. Trump did everything Fauci said. And the CDC data shows that 70% of COVID infections are people who “always” wear the mask. Even “following the science” doesn’t always work

  5. It is because your leader is stupid, his policy is contrary to the reality and advice from the expert, the CDC. Trump doesn’t know how to protect American people and he doesn’t care how many people dies, what he cares for is his personal agenda. If Obama still your President I don’t think you’ll have these much people dying. I just pray that the virus will just disappear miraculously.😩😩😩

    1. re: “is to isolate the President…” …in a 10 x 10 cell charged with High Crimes and Misdemeanors against the citizens of the United States.

  6. Trump is like a 14-year-old child, he’s an EO on Twitter all day because he doesn’t know how to talk with people, real people.  He has rallies where he only talks and it’s either a conversation with himself or the me, me, me I’m the best, etc.  If it’s not about him it’s the “Lock her up”, “Mexico is going to pay for the wall”, etc.  Even the town halls that he’s done have been a big waste of time.  He doesn’t answer the questions asked, then he goes into his me, me, me stuff.  Now on Twitter he’s pushing “Q” conspires.  One with a photo of the Seal Team 6 that he says Biden and Obama had them killed (not true they are alive and well), which one of the members had to spend the whole day trying to clear up the lies and deception from Trump, and a second one that said bin Laden was alive in Iran to only later have him moved to Pakistan to have him killed.  Forget having a president that cares about those kitchen table issues because you’re never going to get it with Trump.  Instead you’re going to get herd immunity where thousands will die, tax returns where he’s paid virtually zero to nothing in taxes.  You’re not going to get any financial relief when you need it, because he’s got the GOP stalling every effort by the Democrats to get you a relief instead of a small token that wouldn’t sustain a family for a week, let alone pay the rent.  America we need to take back our government and vote for someone that will work for the people and not just the rich.  Vote him out and all his criminals buddies November 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5pVdFTNIHs

  7. 217,000+ people in the u.s. have died because of trump and his administration’s mishandling of the covid-19 pandemic (that is more americans that have died from the virus than the number of us soldiers killed in combat in every war since 1945 COMBINED). there are currently almost 8 million covid-19 cases in america. 60+ million have filed for unemployment under donald trump’s presidency. the u.s. national debt is at the highest level since world war 2. donald trump promised to bring down trade deficit’s “as fast as possible” instead the trade deficit as of august 2020 has widened to more than $67 billion u.s. dollars, raising it to the highest level in 14 years. trump wanted to strike down the affordable health care act offering “phenomenal health care plan” as a replacement where he promised “insurance for everybody” which he has not

  8. Wish this man would be shown on all the major news programs. This administration is so reckless endangering so many people

  9. It’s getting really hard to avoid maskless people out in public that want to get up close to you and force their maskless self upon you.
    Then they want to get violent when you tell them to get the f away from you.

  10. More people are going to die. More people are going to face catastrophic medical bills. More people are going to have lifetime medical problems from this virus.

  11. Wake up call, Trump is playing the Hunter Biden card again – that means he has nothing more to offer and is desperate to stay out of jail – honest Joe Biden has shown his taxes – draught dodger tax dodger $750 tax payments wouldn’t cover Marine one taking him to and from Walter Reed.
    Barr hasn’t delivered the manufactured October scandal for the orange dictator.

  12. Many Americans take their, “rights” beyond the point of mutual respect and consideration. Wear a mask; it’s the patriotic thing to do. 😘
