  1. sorry. Absolutely no sympathy for this nasty man.
    Exactly the same as trump showed John Lewis…

    1. Yeah. I’m tired of stupid people standing in the way of smart people trying to save lives. Just hurry up and die, so we can move on.

    1. No, there’s more – they want to take as many ppl as they can with them. Don’t forget that. That’s what all this refusal to wear masks is about. They are willing to suffer minor casualties as long as “the others” get the major brunt. They’ve always been this way. Ppl need to stop underestimating them.

  2. *Mommy & Daddy Issues:* Covid-19 mask refusal, illustrates how Republicans hate their Parents and Grandparents.

    1. Stephen Harris wow what a whopper you have there. I mean your linked source says this about their study:

      “Most studies were underpowered because of limited sample size, and some studies also reported suboptimal adherence in the face mask group.”

    2. @Stephen Harris He is a genius compared to you, dimwit. From here on in, I will remove your dangerous content, and report it. Are you trying to get people killed???

      Mr. Smitty did us all a service by taking the time to carefully explain the science, so although you’re purposely ignorant, others will benefit. Ignorance kills!! Just ask Trump.

    3. Andy Smitty We will see how the Democratic national convention does next month with no police

  3. To demonstrate their conviction, Trump supporters should tattoo themselves with *”Do Not Resuscitate”.*

    1. Do not incubate or resuscitate because I hate anything going over my nose and mouth- should be signed before they go into hospital

    2. @Walter White Well I see you’re pasting the same nonsense to multiple threads. You never have anything relevant to say about the thread you’re posting into… must be yet another goddamnable foreign troll, or maybe paid by the RNC.

  4. I hope he gets the deadly kind. These idiots need to know this is real, he didn’t care why should we care. He probably infected someone with it.

    1. @David Hale Says the dude who insults every single responder on this post. Dozens already.

      Viral load. It was already explained to you very scientifically higher up the comments, so you’re either illiterate, or willfully ignorant.

    2. Deborah Hennessey no just right. That’s the difference. Their wrong I’m right. Dry your eyes sweetheart don’t fight it.

  5. Could not have happened to bigger loud mouth. And now he’s missed out on his ride back home. Bummer dude.

    1. @Andy Smitty Thank you for taking the time, both to research facts, and to lay them out. It saves me for another post. I really enjoy reading your comments, because it verifies that my years of consistent and deep research are working. Let’s just hope that a proper election is held. Our nerves can’t take another moment. 🤔

    2. @David Hale No. Only defend Covid parties, anti-masking, and killing strangers and friends along the way.

    1. Republican senators, all except Romney, failed in the following:

      call a witness
      seek the truth
      remove Trump out of office
      uphold the oath they took to defend the constitution

      Vote blue America! Republicans are bought and paid for by Donald Trump and paid for with American taxpayer dollars.

    1. Gomhert is now claiming he was infected because he wore a mask. The ignorance just keeps coming from the tea baggerz still in the House.

    2. ……everybody will eventually test covid-19 positive, stupid.Fauci is on record accepting money to run the Wuhan Lab. He was the Director for 3 years. Obama OKd the 3.7 million dollars to fund the Chinese Corona virus. Patent# us10130701b2 Google it stupid! …….if it is misinformation why would they be so worried about it. I think we should audit Fauci the Fraud” and find out about the money Bill Gates gave him to run the Wuhan Lab and how many vaccine stocks Fauci and Gates own?? and why does Dr Birx(scarf lady) her daughter work for Bill Gates De-Population Committee??? ……facts are facts. facts is proof. I am the King of Facts. I already know who the veep is, who won the election on nov 3rd, and how the left and the UN is going to react to it. Facts are Facts.

    1. @Trevor Chapman – I don’t wish it n anyone. I know from experience that karma has a way of boomeranging your desires right back at ya and your loved ones.

    1. He wouldn’t be positive, if had not taken the Covid test, at least by Republican logic. It serves him right!

  6. I SAW THIS VILE MAN PRAISING BARR FOR ATTACKING INNOCENT PROTESTERS AND NOW I THINK “KARMA” HEARD HIM AS WELL…GREAT!!

    1. I wonder if he shook hands with Barr yesterday. We already know they spoke to one another without wearing masks…
      As a nurse, I would never wish harm, illness, suffering, loss, or death, on ANYONE! But as a human, let’s just say I’m not all broken up over him getting COVID-19, but I do feel sorry for the people he infected, due to his inconsiderate and selfish actions. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Wear a freakin’ mask, y’all! PLEASE! You do not want this virus…trust me.

    2. @Suzy Q I wish it on People that are Crooked in this Administration of Enablers! Don’t care what People think of me. And I’m not Jealous that Someone has a Better Ratings then I have!🤯😨😎💪🇺🇸

    1. Jesus truth,light,way Jesus said I am the light I’ll never understand the notion that science somehow undermines religion. We can see the light from the edge of the universe but we don’t know more than that – God is the point past where we can’t conceive anymore. Yes? Doesn’t mean people who believe in science don’t believe in God. However, science is real. There are actual ways we can fight this. The pills you refer to can’t be clearly shown to work on Covid patients. That one lady’s insistence that she used them is anecdotal. That’s not the same as “they definitely work”. No actual study has been able to show effectiveness. I’m afraid you can’t take one person’s anecdotal insistence as proof of anything. Just, if you’re thinking of taking hydroxychloroquin please consult a doctor and be careful. Do what you like, just be careful. That’s all.

    1. Yeah. What is with them telling us thy have it? Don’t bother us with the virus hoax. Don’t go to doctors or hospitals or anything. Sacrifice yourselves for the economy and for your grand kids.

    2. @Albert Belle “There are more important things than living,” they said! They should get on with their beliefs.

    1. I’ve heard people saying, “If you don’t like the mask, you’re gonna hate the ventilator!”, and as a nurse, I couldn’t agree more! I wouldn’t typically call someone I don’t know, selfish or inconsiderate, but in this case I’ll make an exception. Not wearing a mask, unless there’s some medical condition preventing it, is a selfish move. 🤷🏼‍♀️
      My mask protects you; yours protects me.

    1. @Gevowavemagnet ……everybody will eventually test covid-19 positive, stupid.Fauci is on record accepting money to run the Wuhan Lab. He was the Director for 3 years. Obama OKd the 3.7 million dollars to fund the Chinese Corona virus. Patent# us10130701b2 Google it stupid! …….if it is misinformation why would they be so worried about it.

    2. @Walter White I just love removing every comment in every thread for spam, misinformation, and harassment. Keep it up troll. It’s my good deed for the day!!!

    3. @Strange Wayfaring Stranger 😂😂😂😂 I shouldn’t laugh, because it’s such a tragedy, but once in awhile it helps. Good one!!!

  7. The most stupid mistake in the history of the country is Trump’s 45th appointment as President of America.

    1. @James Perry I think Trumps mom had a miscarriage while taking a crap, reached into the bowl and didn’t grab the baby, instead she grabbed this piece of crap.
