    1. @Paw Claw Face palming myself due to your dumb azz. His comment was a reference to what that dizzy headed Kayleigh McEnany said about the new Trump book. *WHOOSH* was the sound that piece of sarcasm made as it went over your head.

    2. @Trump’s trumPET McEnany It is clear that some people on this thread do not get irony! And I did not think you were being all that subtle but you have obviously lost some people. Ah well.

    3. He will bring his possibly virus infected staff with him to New Hampshire which is one of few states left that has really controlled the virus.

      Norway COVID-19: Widespread testing ‘has no purpose’, Health director says lockdowns were unnecessary

      Mass testing
      Norway’s Institute of Public Health announced this week (computer translated) that it does not recommend testing large groups of healthy people, such as all employees in a company, for COVID-19. Now that there is little spread of coronavirus in Norway, such testing has no purpose.
      Based on results from mathematical models, the reproduction figure in Norway is estimated to be 0.65 (0.39-0.94).
      Stoltenberg warns against another lockdown
      Norwegian Institute of Public Health chief, Camille Stoltenberg, said in an interview (computer translated) she warns against such a shutdown again – even if the infection rates should increase…
      *“Our assessment now….is that we could possibly have achieved the same effects and avoided some of the unfortunate impacts by not locking down,* but by instead keeping open but with infection control measures,” she said.
      The closure of Norway has had serious economic consequences: high unemployment and a sudden stop for the Norwegian economy.

  1. This is crazy !!! Politicians are still Playing Political Games on the Right and it’s their constituents that’s suffering the most !!’

    1. Trump’s trumPET McEnany how so ???? SC is a Red state ! Ms a red state , Fld is a Red state , TX is a red state !! , AZ a red state !!!! All who opened to early with Political Pressure from the Orange President that’s Republican!!! Then you have the senate republicans playing with the stimulus Bill while folks in their states dying and suffering trying to pay bills !!!!

    2. @Church Love People keep missing that poster’s obvious (I thought) but probably inappropriate sarcastic ironic dark humor.

  2. The daily new case graph for the US should appear in the top right corner of every TV channel with the ones for other countries in the top left. Some people still don’t understand how bad things are.

    1. Trumplethinskin could tweet out that coronavirus has been eradicated in the USA, and those people would still be saying it’s true even while they’re being hooked to ventilators. Obviously the late reverend Jim Jones was an amateur at telling people to ignore their own lying eyes.

    2. @Trump’s trumPET McEnany He’s handled it about as spectacularly as he handled stormy daniels vagina

    3. @Trump’s trumPET McEnany Do you remember how he handled the Greenland thing? First, he makes a buy offer to Denmark, then claims it was a joke, then cancels his meeting with the PM of Denmark on some dumb excuse (dog ate homework), then claims the cancelation had nothing to do with Greenland, then only weeks later admits that he canceled the meeting because his Greenland buy offer was rejected. At every step along the way, his kool-aid-head fans rushed to and fro, trying to justify every new change of position and deny that he meant (or even said) what he’d just said.

    4. @surely you joke, mein failüre I wouldn’t be surprised if a last step regarding greenland will follow: falsely claiming that its now part of the usa! Promises kept!

  3. Red state leadership has doomed the sunbelt. Henry McMaster is just a trump puppet so do you really think SC will get the PPE they need???

    1. Nobody has enough personal protective equipment let me make that very clear not from the east from the west not from the south nobody I’m a COVID-19 technician and I can tell you right now nobody in the United States is ready for What is going on!!! We have never got stocked up So don’t believe what Mr. Trump says that we have more than enough personal protective equipment we don’t have enough for the hospitals we don’t have enough for first responders we don’t have enough for COVID-19 technicians that clean we don’t have enough for the grocery workers or anybody else that’s working in retail or in restaurants it’s not anywhere but us first responders will continue to get sick and certainly some will die

  4. Deaths yesterday:

    France – 14
    Italy – 12
    Germany – 10
    Canada – 9
    Spain – 5
    South Korea – 2
    Japan – 1
    Australia – 0
    New Zealand – 0

    The USA – 960

    Donald Trump yesterday: “For the 1/100th time, numbers are only high because testing is high”

    How exactly is the US seeing so many deaths because of testing?

    1. @Jay Gibson So, more than 24,000 people more than the years before died in total. If you aren’t able to come up with a better explanation, then probably the experts are right who said that the vast majority of these people died FROM covid19.

    2. @flipgurujn Yes. Canada too. We want our borders to remain closed, and we own property in the US. I feel truly sorry for the innocent people who die because of Trump Virus, and his ignorant cult.

    3. @Jay Gibson It’s called Trump virus now little child. It’s cure will begin on November 3rd!

  5. Case numbers started going up nationwide 3 weeks ago
    Trump blamed testing

    The percentage of positive cases started going up nationwide
    Trump blamed testing

    Hospitalisations started going up nationwide
    Trump blamed testing

    Now, deaths are going back up nationwide
    And still, Trump is blaming testing

    I wonder how many mass graves have to be dug before this mass murderer admits we have a problem?

    1. And there’s numbers of testing claiming is the problem is not the problem because we don’t have enough Q-tips to get the test we don’t have enough reaction agents for the test we don’t have enough test our Contact tracing is a joke all over the United States are personal protective equipment is in absolutely horrible shape all over the United States our doctors our nurses our first responders are dying because we don’t have the proper equipment or they are getting severely sick there families are getting severely sick we don’t even have a national plan!!! Until we have a president that does a national lock down we’re gonna be dealing with this virus for extremely long time and don’t hang your head up on a vaccine because it takes us 10 to 15 years to create one safe vaccine and even with the vaccine it’s not gonna be a one time vaccine it’s going to be something like a flu Vaccine that will have to be administered quite often the virus is mutating it is more contagious than it was in March they’re not telling me America there is more than one strain of COVID-19 out here they’re not Americans this either you’re not telling them what vapors are I can give you a list that goes on and on speaking as a Covid tech I hope you can follow I’m driving and responding in my car because my job requires me to travel I’m not sitting at class so don’t judge me for it

  6. COVID-19: “Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear the first time, so let me
    try again. I am immune to Trump’s lies and gaslighting. Ignorance and
    misinformation from Trump and Fox only makes me stronger. I can’t be
    defeated with phony patriotism, guns, flag waving, or denial. I can’t be
    defeated with magic, because I am real, and magic is not. I can only be
    defeated with science, facts, maturity, unselfishness, and common
    sense. I am nothing like the flu, but the flu is a fan of mine, and it
    wants to be like me when it grows up. Trying to ignore me won’t save
    you. I can’t be defeated with thoughts and prayers, so going to places
    of worship won’t save you. You may not be interested in me, but I am
    obsessed with you. Currently there is no vaccine for me, and that’s the
    problem. I recognize no one’s authority. Selfish ignorant people like
    Trump and his cult are the wind beneath my wings, they give me life. I
    may have lost some strength in other countries, but thanks to Trump,
    America is making me great again.”

    1. @Alan Weber sleepy joe’s sleeping !! out like a light!zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz norrrrrring away;;;;;;;;;;trumps gonna wake em

    2. @Robin Patricio Doesn’t matter what Biden does… he could curb stomp a puppy and people will still pick him over Trump. Trump will lose in a landslide of epic proportions. How could he not? Look at the facts… he lost the popular vote by 3 million, he’s NEVER had an approval rating above 50%, impeached… The only way he could be a bigger loser would be to lose in November and it’s almost like he’s trying the way he’s handling Covid. I think everyone agrees. You know Mitch feels that way. That’s why he’s ramming through as many judges as possible. He knows that all ends in 2021 and it’s not coming back. The filibuster will be gone and the only thing left will be the wailing and gnashing of teeth…

    3. @Alan Weber he’s better than sleepy joe, ,,,the dems are tooooooo left as a matter of fact, my opinion they left the buildng!!

    1. Notice how GOP leaders have been out of the news lately? More and more GOP leaders are distencing themselves from Trump-in appearance only. It’s what politicans do best-fake it. Notice how Paul Ryan’s been out of the news much longer? He caught on early; he’s somewhat politically savey.

    2. @kennyw “Notice how Paul Ryan’s been out of the news much longer?”

      May have something to do with the fact that he’s no longer in Congress (he didn’t run for re-election in 2018!)
      Under which rock have you lived these last two years?

    3. Graham is useless and hasn’t cared about South Carolinians for a very long time. He only cares about holding his position and licking Trumps boots. Jamie Harrison will be a positive change for SC if he beats Graham this year.
      I put more blame on our Governor here due to the fact he has done the bare minimum during the pandemic and our state is suffering the consequences. The blame also falls upon the people who should be wearing masks and social distancing instead of pretending this has gone away and everything is normal. It’s a mess.

  7. Why can’t people just wear a mask? So simple, folks. I went for a walk this morning and only one other person had a mask.

    1. Same thing happened with seat belts.
      The subject is irrelevant. It is the change itself they reject. Before it was just them that suffered. This time, it is everyone.

    2. @Mike Dunigan and cigarettes. Makes you wonder why they DO smoke outside and not throw fit any other time?

  8. We had a COMPLETE lockdown for 4 months , just starting to re open slowly , people before profits , alien concept I know

    1. @Daniel Schlobach it sure will never hear virus swine flue, came from pigs! h1 n1 PIGS look it up !! you know sht HA HA look it up, keep eating more viruses to come!!!!

    2. @Robin Patricio It’s airborne, in droplets, being spread all over the World. The horse is already being out of the barn, especially in the US, supposedly, “the greatest Nation on earth”. Apparently, under doufuss Trump, the virus thrives also on stupidity!

  9. Where is Lindsey Graham?
    Like donald trump, Graham only cares about being re-elected.
    COVID-19 is out of control in the majority of states, including South Carolina, yet trump and his enablers like Graham do nothing.

  10. I’m sure there exists a handful of medical workers who would still vote for Trump in November. I’d love to meet them just to ask “why?”.

  11. Amazing, how many Americans don’t have the intellect to guard themselves against anything, that doesn’t require a gun.
    Unrecognized Gullibility, Selfishness, and Cognitive Dissonance, seem to be a massive problem for Americans now-a-days.
    Perhaps, a little too much “Religion”, and not enough “Reason”, in their educational diets…
