“No punishment in my opinion, is too great for the man who can build his greatness upon his country’s ruin” – George Washington. 🙂
In Italy, they took Mussolini out, hung him by piano wire, and gutted him! Hmmm.
I have several medical conditions that could make COVID-19 fatal if I get it.
However, I am still more concerned about the Riots and the still escalating violence throughout the county, which the mainstream media is rarely reporting on.
If I die, my family and relatives still remain in a country sadly going out of control.
The True PEACEFUL Protests
were about Everyone getting together regarding the murder of George Floyd.
ALL colors and all nationalities.
Martin Luther King –
His protestors carried no guns, took no lives,
killed no children,
didn’t burn and loot any businesses,
didn’t damage and destroy property and terrorize neighborhoods.
Democrats — pro-Riots —
Killing, Burning, Looting, Vandalism —
Destroying America’s Peace, Unity, and Safety !!
Democrats don’t care about America!
They don’t care about America Unity!
They don’t care about the Saftey of Americans in their own homes and neighborhoods!
This has been the Nastiest,
most Divisive,
Deadliest
Presidential Election Campaign!
Stop the Violence against America!!

@s a better leader would of sat down with the protesters and worked out a peaceful solution by now. America is falling apart under trump.
@s Then i suggest you get on board with ending racial injustice and the systemic oppression of an entire poeple. I hope you also acknowledge that white supremacist group according to reports by the DOJ are infiltrating peaceful protests in order to instigate riots and violence. A police officer was shot by a man affiliated with the Proud Boys during a protest.
Martin Luther KIng’s peaceful protests were not about safety of property of even of black bodies. You should research what the point of peaceful protest is. It highlights the savagery of the oppressor against the oppressed. It is ultimately to evoke sympathy from those who have a heart. It has nothing to do with keeping the peace and ultimately causes a response from those in power to either engage peacefully or violently. We have seen how our government has responded to the peaceful protests, with abject violence and disregard for the citizens, no matter what color.
You list a few videos of police chiefs (black police chiefs, like we don’t know you trot them out as props to scold black people) but make ZERO mention of the violent response to peaceful protestors. Its all about the riots. Which reports suggest it is NOT democrats or antifa, but RIGHT WING WHITE SUPREMACIST GROUPS. The riots are not the problem, they are symptom that ALL of us now must suffer because of the systemic oppresion of black and brown bodies. If you are more concerned about the riots, that the militarized response by the federal government to end peaceful protests, then you really do not understand how you are part of fueling this issue.
A true renegade…..
I like Presidents who don’t make excuses and shift blame for not solving problems they’re responsible for solving.
He can’t necessarily ‘solve’ it, but he can step aside and let smart people with knowledge lead the way toward a sane defense.
Vote Blue!!
Richard Owens,
I like presidents who don’t try so very hard to master golf and who drink water and eat fruits and vegetables (makes your skin, urine and stools smell nicer)
What would you do genius? I never hear anything but “the President’s doing it all wrong…”
@Football Nerd Wow! I am qualified to be President of the US!
“I don’t agree with the statement about masks…” “I’m a believer in masks.” He completely contradicts himself with a 4-second period. Amazing.
Typical con man maneuver of playing both sides.
This is trumps twisted way to appease the Biden crowd and his crowd. 🙄😂
Yup. Not only increase the confusion in trying to pin down this Insane Clown, but, this way he can claim which ever way benefits him in future Spin Spewing.
It’s a narcissist thing he wants to see how far he can
A. Con stupid people.
B. Push intelligent people.
People with trumps personality disorder thrive on drama and chaos.
@P H , exactly. He wants his cake and eat it too.
Trump took a test for people with ALZHEIMER. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
The stable genius said the last 5 questions were really difficult. 😂😂😂
@ray mondee I would lie if my name was Donald Trump
They asked “who is the President of the US?”
Counting backwards from 100 by ANY number is worse than calculus and triganometry
@matthew mcclain Do you really believe that, or do I detect some sarcasm? lol
@matthew mcclain Well you managed to get me to your site, but There is nothing hard about counting backwards from 100 from any # , especially compared to calculus and trig.
Whether you support Trump or not, everyone should watch the full Trump/Wallace interview.
I can’t believe that was the President of the United States of America speaking like that
Yep , that jerk said , AMERICA WON 2 WARS , BEAUTIFUL WARS, 🤢🤮🤮 FK PS
@Patricia O’Connor The second of which was fought to defeat people like him!!
Of corse man-child himself once said the China virus is only 15, that will go to zero in a couple of days. Why can’t US journalists return such truths.
Most Americans rightfully predicted that Trump’s presidency was going to be one of the worst in modern history, but I don’t think anyone ever imagined it would be an unmitigated catastrophe of this magnitude. And to add insult to injury, Trump announced that he’s not responsible for anything that has happened. I’m assuming it’s because deep down, he only considers himself to be a “pretend president.” Trump has taken many things in life, but responsibility has never been one of them. But what he will do, is blame others for his clear and obvious failures.
Because of Trump, America has had the worst response to the pandemic than any country in the world. So far, more than 140 thousand Americans have lost their lives to the coronavirus. And many of those lives were needlessly lost due to Trump’s indifference, gross incompetence, lack of leadership, criminal negligence, and dereliction of duty. When America needed sound leadership the most, we had a draft dodging president who was, and still is, AWOL.
I can still remember Trump telling us that everything was under control, and all we had to do was inject ourselves with disinfectants, and the virus would just magically disappear. Well today, we can all acknowledge that the virus did not disappear, but tens of thousands of Americans did.
@Tom Jones Same ole song, try some different lyrics, you’re really ridiculous.
black women did…that’s why 98 percent of who showed up at the polls voted for hillary….i hope america listens to black women now, we are trying to save you guys…
@Brian Brokaw I wish. It’s a tragedy that a nation like ours end up like this. With a madman at the helm. And Brazil is no better I agree.
Xavier Young Trump or the virus ? I say both.
Tom Jones : What a moron.Oops, MORON !
Trump and Republicans had a field day criticizing President Obama’s response to Ebola after the emergence of a fourth U.S. case heightened public anxiety about the disease spreading outside of West Africa.
Darrell Issa, said the response had been inept, characterized by over-confidence and ill-considered procedures to protect U.S. healthcare workers at home.
“Any further fumbles, bumbles or missteps … can no longer be tolerated,” Issa told a hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Then-Rep. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said Obama was “not protecting our country and our families from Ebola,” suggesting the administration was not doing enough to combat the disease.
Ted Cruz called Obama’s Ebola response “fundamentally unserious.”
Ultimately, the 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak in West Africa resulted in 11 confirmed cases and only two deaths in the U.S. Obama’s quick response to the virus included deploying nearly 3,000 service members to West Africa to help contain the outbreak there.
Because of Obama’s leadership, the Ebola virus did not spread in the US. There were only two deaths from the disease in the country, and both of them were people who contracted it in Africa. History has proven that the Obama administration’s response to the Ebola virus was competent and effective.
After the Ebola virus outbreak, President Obama created the NSC directorate for global health and security and bio-defense, and he passed it on to Trump in 2017. And then Trump dismantled it in 2018.
“I think, importantly, what Obama did leave Trump is a global health infrastructure that we had set up informed by the lessons of the Ebola outbreak,” Ben Rhodes said before pointing to a National Security Council (NSC) pandemic directorate that was dismantled by the Trump in 2018. “And what we did is set up, in the White House, … an office that was responsible for managing pandemics, managing global health threats that was shut down two years ago by President Trump.” Rhodes said.
“And when you don’t have an office like that, you don’t have dedicated people inside the White House who are ensuring that information is acted upon. When you see an outbreak in a place like Wuhan, China, you want people in the White House who are thinking about what needs to be done right away so that you don’t get behind the curve, which is what happened in this White House.”
Public-health experts have stated that Trump’s early efforts to downplay the threat of the virus robbed the US of valuable time needed to prepare for what is now a pandemic — potentially costing thousands of lives.
Trump spent “two months of completely ignoring every bit of scientific advice,” Dr. Ashish Jha, the director of the Harvard Global Health Institute stated in mid-March. “We’ve wasted two months. And this is not a disease where you’re allowed to waste two months.”
Jha criticized Trump for telling Americans that everything was “under control” when it was very clear to anybody paying attention that it was not under control.”
“I don’t use these words lightly, and it’s incredibly painful for me to say it,” he said, adding: “The cost of all of this is that tens of thousands of Americans are going to die unnecessarily. It was wholly preventable, and not just preventable in hindsight — it was preventable in foresight. Everybody said this is how it was going to play out if they didn’t act.”
Experts have criticized Trump’s decision in 2018 to dismantle the National Security Council directorate at the White House, that was created by President Obama, and was charged with preparing for WHEN, NOT if, another pandemic would hit the nation.
“One year later I was mystified when the White House dissolved the office, leaving the country less prepared for pandemics like COVID-19,” Beth Cameron, the first director of the unit, wrote in an op-ed. She said the directorate was set up to be the “smoke alarm” and get ahead of emergencies and sound a warning at the earliest sign of fire — “all with the goal of avoiding a six-alarm fire.”
@Pam Lewis girl i watch old Obama speeches nostagically just wishing i had a president who could for a cogent sentence…i feel you
@9000ck your cousin is Sarah Gilbert?
@Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 Lol, did you just link to someone’s blog? You must take opinions as facts as long as you agree with them.
@Rob Donaldson Can you provide a link to that claim? Or did you just assume the one they have in testing phase is going to be fine?
@David Gray – Joe Biden is the Corrupt #2 man behind the Worst Economic President of the Modern Era.
Joe’s $4 trillion in Tax Hikes and Wealth Redistribution will End Prosperity in America, Shrink the Middle-Class, and cause Economic Decline, just like Obama did for 10 long years
The longer tRump remains in Power, the worst things will become as bad as they are now it will just get worst & worst with him!
1% of the population has Covid. 10% have diabetes….crisis is what now?
@Bucky Pinata diabetes isn’t highly contagious, wait till winter time and the numbers will change quite a bit, geez
@Hamish Gaffaney And highly contagions has nothing to do with deaths….97% of those who contract it live…next
*Obama changed the face of our economy for the worse*
Oct 2016 https://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/economy-budget/299881-obama-changed-the-face-of-our-economy-for-the-worse
Question: What do Hong Kong, Singapore, Chile, Ireland and Estonia have in common?
Answer: They all have more economic freedom than the United States.
According to the 2016 edition of the Index of Economic Freedom — compiled annually by the Wall Street Journal and The Heritage Foundation — America has matched its lowest global ranking ever at #11, its seventh decline in the past eight years. Measuring such factors as rule of law, regulatory efficiency, limited government, and open markets, they conclude, “The United States remains mired in the ranks of the ‘mostly free,’ the second-tier economic freedom status into which it dropped in 2010.”
Many believe we’ve arrived at this state of affairs due to the nature America’s mixed economy—capitalism coupled with government controls—and its nexus with President Barack Obama’s eight years of collectivist ideas and policies into American life and the economy. The result: Obama and his administration have upset, perhaps in some respects irrevocably, the tenuous balance between private enterprise (free markets, productivity, entrepreneurial growth, etc.) and the countervailing winds of government coercion and intervention.
Certainly one of the primary culprits in this dynamic is the blizzard of regulations imposed under Obama. As reported by Sam Batkins of the American Action Forum (AAF), the Obama presidency has implemented 600 major regulations—defined as regulations that have “an economic impact of $100 million or more”—and is on track to enact 641 major regulations before he leaves office. This figure shatters the 426 regulations under President George Bush and represents a new major regulation every three days—according to Batkins costing, “on average, $1.4 billion . . . With the possibility of 50 more rules, the lame duck tally could push this regulatory cost figure to $813 billion . . . more than the GDP of the Philippines.”
Faced with these and other findings, Obama remains obdurate and combative—offering kingly declarations in response: “By almost every measure, we are better off than when I took office” and “Anyone claiming that America’s economy is in decline is peddling fiction.” These assertions fly in the face of the numerous non-fictions he simply refuses to acknowledge: a labor participation rate near a 40-year low (including a record number of women); his single-handed accumulation of more debt (at $19.5 trillion and counting) than every other president before him combined;46 million Americans living in poverty and nearly 50 million on food stamps; his presidency overseeing a record number of home foreclosures; as well as America’s credit rating downgraded for the first time ever . . . the litany goes on. Is it any wonder that trust in Obama’s leadership and his administration remains at historically low levels? After almost eight years of government corruption, ever-expanding spending and taxation, bloating of the administrative state, and governance repeatedly highlighting racial, social and religious divisions, the once unassailable belief in America as the freest, strongest, noblest, most prosperous nation in history has been supplanted by a vision of ourselves that we do not recognize and from which we may never recover.
Obama’s insistence on government being increasingly involved in the country’s private sector’s economic decision-making has inevitably given rise to more and more lobbyists, more special interest groups, more political influence, and more crony capitalism—which makes a mockery of his pledge to create an “unprecedented level of openness” and his claim that his administration has been “the most transparent administration in history.” His proof? Every visitor who comes to the White House is now a part of the public record.
Given Obama’s lineage, his mentors and political influences, his controversial friends and associations, his background as a community organizer and neighborhood economic developer, should we be surprised that he is a man who knows only how to slice up the pie, rather than grow the pie? It is who he is. It’s in his DNA. He can’t help himself.
Is it only a matter of time before America slides down to the next lower level of the economic freedom index and joins the ranks with Poland, Barbados, Albania, Rwanda, Namibia, Guatemala, Italy, Slovenia, and others—as “moderately free”?
For us, who cares if they get worse for him😡
simply said; smart, thoughtful people will wear masks while the stupid and selfish will not.
@President of the Virgin Islands Those ‘dumb’ gouvenours are getting more mask into though
@President of the Virgin Islands Don’t forget selfish and disrespectful.
@President of the Virgin Islands Nine times out of ten, the non-mask wearers are Trump supporters. Darwin rules.
@Bart You Trumputin trolls need to work on your grammar, I couldn’t understand a word you said.
Are you saying Donald Trump is stupid and selfish?
He wants people to ”have a certain freedom.” Apparently, that doesn’t apply if you are walking in downtown Portland, Oregon.
7 20 20 Hey again@wushock97, 😘 sure, anytime… v
They gave the Republicans the freedom to protest in the capital Salem, carrying weapons and they allow people to protest in the streets of Portland. Oregon understands the freedom of speech and change in policing is needed. Change please.
@Teresa S I believe that’s what he was trying to say that it could be anybodythat’s a scary thought the Hitler army out there
Exactly, TRUMP is so slippery sweet it makes your teeth hurt.TRUMPS logic is telling you he has know gears by which to shift too. Just a Monolithic, Monounsaturated BS artist. Vote Blue America! Stay safe and wear your mask 😉
@T salinger1026 CC?
Sadly Americans will pay with their lives for this administrations incompetence,
AND THIS ADMIN WILL NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THAT IS INSULT TO INJURY
So many already has to the coronavirus and our military
And no one is doing nothing about it. Absolutely nothing. Why is that? People are dying across this nation. Now he wants to send children back to School. I believe mothers will block this. Isn’t there somewhere in the Constitution that when a president is inept cannot he be removed from office for the sake of the country and the people. The Senate Republicans should have removed him during the impeachment trial. Donald Trump has shown the Senate that they should have removed him. God bless America.
@Bucky Pinata No dummy. No it won’t. Diabetes isn’t overwhelming hospitals and the sick aren’t infecting doctors who are dying. Guess what else dummy. Asymptomatic people all have permanent damage to their organs. So, the next time they catch it, its worse or they just die. Bonus! It causes neurological damage and other damage that never gets better.
Yeap, all .0383% of them that contract the virus. Current death rate is now lower than seasonal flu.
Trumps delusions and psychosis is getting worse by the day!. 🤔
Worse is yet to come. He knows a war prez will get more votes, so he’s probably planning to launch a war with Iran. Plus there’s MAD, which is now moot, with Trump’s fingers on the nuke buttons.
Baby Donnie: “As you know, masks cause problems too…” Yeah, orange toner runs and he’d just look like a mango piñata…
😹
Mango piñata jaja
@Deborah Webb That’s kinda mean to the bees, poor things. They would break their little stingers trying to get thru that orange hide!
I love that ‘mango pinata’. I’d like to take a few whacks at him.
@imiss toronto Whack-A-Mole!
America’s 2 coronaviruses: Covid-19 and Covidiot-45. The latter being the far more deadly. Keep safe everyone! VOTE!
Covfefe in retrospect was just the warning…
It’s like watching a nonfiction version of “The Plot Against America” play out in real time. Leaves me almost speechless 😶 . So sad to see incompetence at this level.
YES VOTE FOR TRUMP
I’m a conservative. Most Americans are for masks, the majority of Republicans and Democrats alike. But it is also true that almost all of the fringe anti-mask lunatics are the fringe of the fringe element of Trump extremists. And the reason they’re against masks has nothing to do with rejection of science or medicine, which they know is true, they simply troll pretending the science is faulty. They reject it because Trump told them to reject if, since Trump said it’s what Democrats want. There is no more to it. It’s that simple.
Masks are an easy issue. Would they want the surgeon who was about to start bypass surgery on them to wear a mask? Of course………because that affects *_THEM_* . It is just selfishness and lack of caring about other people. And stupidity……….that always helps.
My god, it’s not about freedom, wearing a mask is about avoiding more people dying from this virus… Don’t understand, why is this so hard to understand??? We shouldn’t even be arguing about the danm masks, it’s the least we can do people….. Simple basic sense!!!!!
Daniel Dominguez DONT GO AGAINST MY MAN TRUMP, GET AWAY FROM HIM BLESS HIM HE HAS SAVED OUR LIVES PRAISE HIM WORSHIP MY BABY
Because conservatives are all about “me me me” so they don’t care about other lives
Again, all .0383% of them.
I love Chris Wallace, but he needs to break up his questions so Trump doesn’t just focus on the easier one to deflect on.
SINCE TRUMP LOVES TO FALSELY BRAG ABOUT WHAT HE’S DONE NOW HE CAN BRAG ABOUT WHAT HE HAS DONE WHICH IS TO PUT MILLIONS OF AMERICANS LIVES AT RISK BECAUSE OF HIS INCOMPETENCE!!✌😷
