    1. Where’s the actual proof of what they are saying? There is no video footage of these “over capacity hospitals”? How come everyone working at a hospital is saying that the hospitals are nearly empty? People who believe the hospitals are full because two people on television tell them they are; are the dumbest people in society.

    1. We were, We rounded the corner, than rounded it again, and in a years time, we were back where we began!

    2. You believe these liars just because they tell you? Where is the proof these hospitals are at full capacity? You must be a gullible clown.

    3. @ATL Braves yeah everyone is conspiring against you. everyone is lying about the numbers except for trump. very smart of you

    1. Not everyone in Idaho is a trumper. A lot of Idaho people are blue supporters. Personally, I think it is sickening to have so many people believing in Trump’s lies. He is absolutely despicable.
      I will be voting blue all the way, every vote possible for blue.
      BIDEN HARRIS, vote to save our country,

    2. @Anne it too bad that rural Idaho has their heads up their butts, and think Boise is the portland of the state…delusional people

    1. @Roy Dullman Recent news, aside from the losing 1.17 billion over 10 years ….. he defaulted on 271 million in bank loans, yup, best businessman ever even if he was propped up by Russian mob monies. Don’t be a tool Roy. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-trump-property/ A Reuters review found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida.

      MIAMI/MOSCOW – During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump downplayed his business ties with Russia. And since taking office as president, he has been even more emphatic.

      “I can tell you, speaking for myself, I own nothing in Russia,” President Trump said at a news conference last month. “I have no loans in Russia. I don’t have any deals in Russia.”

      But in the United States, members of the Russian elite have invested in Trump buildings. A Reuters review has found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida, according to public documents, interviews and corporate records.

      PALM BEACH, Fla. — Why did a Russian oligarch pay now-President Donald Trump $95 million for his Palm Beach mansion?

      Almost a decade later, the answer is less clear than it was at the time of the sale, the highest price paid for a Palm Beach home.

      In 2008, Dmitry Rybolovlev bought the Palm Beach mansion owned by Trump for $13 million more than the most expensive Palm Beach mansion sale up to that moment. It’s been almost a decade since the sale, but the transaction is newsworthy again as new questions surround contacts between members of Trump’s administration and Russian government officials.

    1. You believe these liars just because they tell you? Where is the proof these hospitals are at full capacity? You must be s gullible clown.

    2. @ATL Braves I don’t believe anybody, I see the facts and try to reason with my head, by the way, I am not American and I don’t live in the U.S.

    1. Yeah, stop flying them to Portland. First we got their damned militias, now their Covid patients. Why didn’t they put a mask order in place?

  2. Vote Paulette Jordan to the Senate Idaho! Jim Risch does not care about you. There are 1.7 million people in this state. Covid-19 numbers should not be this high.
