WAPO: Trump Admin. Wants America To 'Grow Numb' From COVID-19 Deaths | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
Only the dead can judge mango Mussolini most objectively.
@TrumpVirus-19 But do YOU think I care about innocent people and little kids getting shot? as long as you don’t I don’t either
@Eric Echols Sr. Thanks, I just had to screen shot that. 👍
@TrumpVirus-19 – Have a good time with it. It came from the CDC’s stats. 👍🏽😷✌🏽
That’s why he doesn’t sleep at night he thinks the ghosts of all the presidents are roaming the halls
I always love Mussolini references. I mean, Trump even looks and talks like Mussolini.
surrender summit to surrender to the virus – shameful shameful shameful.
Moscow Mitch and the Republican Senators continue to cover up and be quiet when they should be fighting and protecting the American people. Vote them all out.
Moscow Mitch is too busy stuffing the country with far-right judges all around . He don’t want to be interrupted in something so irrelevant as the 132k C19 deaths (and counting) in the US.
@3dfreak2000 He’s a disgrace.
already on it. Donated my stimulus check to good candidates. Wrote 75 postcards to voters explaining how to register to vote by mail and will write 500+ more by October 25. Did “distance canvassing” training. And I’ll vote by mail.
“The virus is 99% harmless” trump , the 1% 130,000 dead Americans the virus is lethal
trumps is more worried about his hair and fake tan than this covid thing — it will all dissapear and go away
He’s also worried about sniffing his crushed pills. Hence the coke nose surgery he had.
This is a tactic that only an extreme sociopath like Trump would use. He wants the American people to suffer and die in silence. Jim Jones demanded the same thing of his followers at Jonestown.
So they are using covid as an excuse to right off lynchings as covid deaths? That’s what tick tock shows!
Republicans love their kool-Aid
@T B clorox flavoured kool-aid. drink it up trumpkins.
@j welsh It is easy to make comments like yours, when you are not dealing with the results of a president who is a ignorant fool.
And both Jim Jones and Trump invoke God – to justify their atrocities. The same Christian God who approved St. Peter murdering a married couple for just telling a lie. Acts, Chapter 5.
I am trying to grow numb to all of Trump’s stupidity, corruption and incompetentcy but it’s not working
Never become wilfully ignorant or numb to anything… because life will blindside you and then things will really be bad!
You’re human. Be thankful for that.
Try vodka
@Lee TV Well, it is already pretty bad. how does 132K deaths from a virus sound to you?
How much money is Donald J Trump receiving from Russia for each dead American due to Covid-19?
3dfreak2000 : In a file on Putin’s desk, next to the glass jar, with trump’s balls in it 👍
@3dfreak2000 bad joke, not funny.
Wow. Your question took me completely by surprise. Incredibly incisive and figuratively if not also literally entirely accurate.
Lol 6 bucks now what’s the airspeed of an unladen swallow
@3dfreak2000 Call them what they are, FOOLS !!!
The Trump legacy will be the unnecessary death and suffering of thousands of Americans
@Kevin McNeil – Okay….but there is no reason to have statues honoring traitors to the United States who fought against our country in order to keep an entire race of people in bondage. There are also things called history books, museums and battlefields. You don’t need a statue on PUBLIC land. Have you even read a history book?! What was the last history book you read and when was it or do you get most of your knowledge of history from Hollywood movies?!
@Kevin McNeil – What was the context then?! He said that several black female members of Congress should “go back to where they came from” which is here, by the way, since all of them are US citizens and most of them were born here. Typical right winger to try and claim that it was out of context. If I am wrong, then what was the proper context then?!
@Kevin McNeil – “There wasn’t one”, what?! A contagious disease outbreak under a Democratic President?! There have been a couple actually. The first one was under Woodrow Wilson and then another happened TWICE under Obama – remember Ebola and H1N1 (aka Swine Flu)?! Remember when Republicans criticized Obama’s handling of those outbreaks?! How many people died during those outbreaks?!
Carbon suicide mtb St. Louis Missouri has the highest number of gun violence deaths par capita and it is hardly a hot bed of liberalism.
@Kevin McNeil you see people this guy kevin mcneil is the example that trump cult are so brainwashed and dumb.
Too bad he didn’t take his own advice on the bleach.
He is toxic then cancer !!
But the wartime President? I’m sure fake barbie will clear this up tomorrow.
..with eyelashes like buggy whips… [to steal an observation of Kurt Vonnegut].She’ll soon be replaced by a Chuckie doll.
The wartime president doesn’t comment when a strong man kills his soldiers.
“The virus is 99% harmless” trump , the 1% 130,000 dead Americans the virus is lethal
@Corey Ham I guess it is survival of the fittest. The stupid and the ignorant will not survive. That included many that listen to the president. (I don’t say our president, as I don’t claim him).
@M John It would be interesting to see coronavirus cases and mortality rates reported by political party registration. Never going to happen, but it was just a random thought.
Tyrants rely on the human tendency to become adapted to even extreme circumstances. Don’t become apathetic. This is not normal. Nor have the last 4 years been. Be outraged and resist.
We need to be creative to resist during a pandemic. How do we protest??
Where does the negligence of this orange clown become criminal?
Ilia Smirnoff : Oh, we’re past that. Haven’t you noticed? Washington has no law. Our Troops are being assassinated, and trump is Collaborating! And, he says, “fake news,” and THAT’S IT??? Our TROOPS, America! ✌️
It’s been criminal for some considerable time – pretty much always in fact. Almost as criminal as the abject inability of the American political and judicial systems to indict Trump.
The same systems that seem able to prosecute ordinary citizens with ease. Though the time taken from offence to jail, not to mention the sentence, does seem to vary inversely with the offender’s income.
it always was criminal. a DOJ ‘memo’ has kept him from indictments.
Something tells me that the voting booths are going to be overflowing with people this November to vote these clowns out of office.
Need to push for mail-in ballots in every state.
Fear mongering can be very affectivetive. But this time it has a uniquely inverted affect. Instead of Trump scaring his voters to the poles, Trump is scaring Biden’s voters to the poles.
I hope so … fingers crossed
Assuming the GOP have left enough voting booths to go around. Not to mention unsuppressed voters.
Bet the voting machines are rigged or not working.
An orange on a pumpkin would look exactly like #45 but would do a better job as a POTUS.
So why do Americans have to learn to live with it? No other country had to live with it! They are all doing good now, because they crushed it! Is that what we have become? A nation of learning to live with it? Like living without proper heath care? Live with student debt? Live with police brutality? Learn to live with the homeless? I thought America was the greatest country in the world!!!!!
Because the left keeps holding up progress, our president wants to help us Americans but the left could care less, all they wanna see is trump fail, Democracks do NOT want to see America do good, they left should be working with TRUMP to make America our country a better place, instead they spread hate,violence,and racism, dividing our country is the lefts goal, just so they can blame TRUMP. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@Defund Welfare stupid, who is blocking everything coming from the democratic Congress? By the way, I´m not an American, but objectively watching since day one of this presidency,.
Great observation!! Learn to live with it…the new US motto. You’re right, learn to live with a lying president. Learn to live with Covid-19. Learn to live with a falling standard of living. Got it!
hear, hear! Well said.
Defund Welfare your a paid troll
TRUMP FAILURE – LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD

#TrumpFascism
trump isnt running for re-election, he is running from prosecution!
#TrumpPandemic
Just stick cadet bone spurs in room with mirrors on all the walls, and let him deal with that so we don’t have to
I hope Trump will establish the Bone Spurs Academy….for future draft dodgers.
It’s because of trump and GOP governors that Americans are dying.
