It's all been about TV ratings. He also wanted to put his signature on all the checks going out for the virus spending bill. Like he wants people to believe he's personally giving them money. He's trying to use the whole thing as a campaign tool, since he can't hold his rallies, I guess. It's really quite deplorable.

We live in this small rural county, only have 1 so far or so they say. Our hospital only has 25 beds so I'm sure everything here is inadequate. We are near another city so we do have very good ER doctors. I'm really impressed with them. They come through a contract with a bigger hospital.
I doubt they are checking anyone. I know we had hepatitis in a McD's here and I think half the town needed shots. I can't believe exposure would be any different and the person was a hospital employee. It's creeping up on us now 4 in the county north and 4 south of us and 2 east. And the snowbirds that winter in Florida are coming back. Even my husband is being careful he is trying to find a way to avoid Lowes though he needs some electrical conduit. Next week I'm getting groceries, going to order from Sam's online and set up a pick up time. But people in the town are running all over. I see more out walking then I ever have. But they are with family or alone so that's a good thing to see actually. But folks are swamping Walmart and the grocer, that's about all there is here that's open now.
I worry its going to spread through this small area like wildfire, at least we live rural out away from other people.

Let's also be VERY clear. He said that he was told that there could be up to 2.2 MILLION deaths in the US. So if the death count is only 100,000 he would have done a "good job". 100,000 dead Americans is a "good job". Didn't even phase him to say it. No emotions, no realization that he's talking so offhandedly about 100,000 lives/people/loved ones. He's truly looking at 100,000 dead Americans as no big loss, a job well done on his part.
The blood is no longer on his hands...he's now bathing in it daily. Gleefully pouring the blood of dead Americans over his head talking about how great he is.
#MAGA you m~o~t~h~e~r~f~u~c~k~e~r~s who voted for him. Fuck all of you.

He was most likely close to brain dead any way from all the beer he had been drinking. No one in their right mind flips OldCoyote the bird, you can tell by looking at me! I told the story about this to one of my big young ex military subs I use,, he said,, I can so see you doing that! So do get drunk and lose your balance reach over a rail, that's all.
In all that bragging you forgot to add you cowardly decided to walk around the stadium to return to your seat rather than return the way you came so you could avoid the injured man. Here is a old Coyote experience for those that don't show some respect. This is a while back, I was at a Chiefs, Bronco game, at that time I was a Bronco fan, any way, part way thru the game I need to take a leak, I was wearing my Broncos coat,
When some drunk fan hanging over the railing above the walk way I was on holding a beer in one hand flipping me the finger with the other hand. As I walked past I grabbed his finger hand, gave a nice jerk, over the rail he came, head first into the concrete, He fell maybe eight or ten foot. I just kept walking, to the rest room, I did walk all the way around the stadium to keep from going back by the "accident"!! Yikes. I can't picture what actually happened, as I'm not sure how you could reach over the railing on the level 10 feet above you and yank someone down - but I am guessing this was poorly explained version of what happened. Or that it is fiction. I really hope it is fiction.

He has admitted multiple times in past threads that he makes stuff up to rile people up, he is doing it again. I have pity, a persons life has to be pretty bad to get enjoyment out of something like that.

It begins with an 'L', end with a'r', and 'ia' are in the middle.

My suggestion is to follow what mmhmm has told me in the past regarding certain folks that are a bother...which I don't like to do actually..block their posts...For those who are like me, don't like to block posts, suggest no response or if feel need one use following... , , , ...just saying....and if it persists let moderators under direction of Moon take care of the problem...they did it once recently...gave it a choice which he followed for about a week but has regressed back to where he was..I expect they will handle any problems...

You avoided walking back in the direction that you left your seat. You knew you were wrong and yet you brag about it. How pathetic. I didn't want to get blood on my new combat boots! I'm currently flipping you off. Come at me, bro.

Fareed Zakaria had a excellent program today..repeated at 1PM on CNN, had PM of Singapore onfor a half hour ..one of least affected countries...he suggested as this virus works itself around the globe, it could be as long as two years unless a effective vaccine is found or drugs already in the pipeline are helpful...then a three person panel that all felt Trumps back to living normally by Easter is a bit premature...actually nuts... The PM , caught between the two Giants, China and US as a friend...agrees, a cold war between the two can easily develop..Another reason to have new Political leadership in our country IMHO.... Singapore is not so much "one of the least effected countries" as one that has attacked the health threat very aggressively. My DS1 lives there and last week he came down with something that had symptoms in common with COVID-19. His description on how this was taken checked sounded like a scenario from a SciFi movie. He was tested (came back negative. Phew!!!)

Satire from The Borowitz Report
Fauci Warns Trump That If Everyone in U.S. Dies It Could Affect His TV Ratings By Andy Borowitz WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a conversation over the weekend that reportedly left the President “shaken,” Dr. Anthony Fauci warned Donald Trump that if everyone in the United States dies, it would adversely affect his television ratings. Although Fauci was quick to add that the everyone-dying scenario was purely hypothetical, he stressed that, from a medical perspective, alive people were more likely than dead ones to watch television. According to a source familiar with the conversation, the possible impact of covid-19 fatalities on Trump’s ratings “totally blindsided” the President, who immediately convened an emergency meeting of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. “It’s time you losers started taking this situation seriously,” Trump reportedly barked. “Especially you, Pence.” In what was described as an increasingly rancorous session, Trump reprimanded the group for “not doing enough” to safeguard his TV ratings. “I like the numbers being where they are,” he thundered.

These deaths are directly on Trump's head. US President Donald Trump claimed at a White House briefing last week that the Food and Drug Administration had approved the "very powerful" drug chloroquine to treat coronavirus.
"It's shown very encouraging -- very, very encouraging early results. And we're going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately. And that's where the FDA has been so great. They -- they've gone through the approval process; it's been approved. And they did it -- they took it down from many, many months to immediate. So we're going to be able to make that drug available by prescription or states," Trump said. He added: "Normally the FDA would take a long time to approve something like that, and it's -- it was approved very, very quickly and it's now approved, by prescription." However, the FDA after the briefing issued a statement saying it had not approved the drug for use against Covid-19 and is still studying its effectiveness against the disease.www.cnn.com/2020/03/23/africa/chloroquine-trump-nigeria-intl/?hpt=ob_blogfooteroldFucking wankstain was lying yet again, and people have died because if it.

Or that it is fiction. I really hope it is fiction. Personally, I think it is BS. There would probably be security or cell phone video of what happened. They have facial recognition. Just like my DD told me Security at the airport figured out in short order who stole a wallet at the baggage check it station, yeah. Walking around the Stadium and never getting caught - Nu-uh. I don't believe it. And usually you would not be able to lean over from one level to the next and pull someone down. I bet they could go back and review tapes from before facial recognition existed and identity who done it. I once loaded up a picture of my dad with his brothers and sisters as children and Facebook identified who was who.
OC - you better look out the PO-PO are looking for you!

No obvious news reports of any falling over a railing at any Chief v Bronco game. Maybe you can give us more info. Which stadium were you in? What year was it? Etc.

Trump was whining about how the press is being mean to him. Kelly Anne Conway insists Biden needs to be supportive of Trump right now, due to the virus crisis. Could this be the same guy who paid a bunch of money for private detectives to try to find proof that Trump wasn't born in the US? Or is accusing someone of lying about his religion and birthplace somehow 'supportive?'

As it should, if enough American voters decide they want to continue to have a President who engages in the behaviors Donald Trump does continually. The only people that will be up in arms are the dems who live in an echo chamber and think that people are as outraged as them. There are more people identifying as GOP now than in 2016 and way more than 2008/2012, but like the pop vote, it doesn't matter all that much. Still though, what I don't think Dems realize is that "undecided voters" don't care about politics at all. The average undecided voter does not pay attention and probably thinks that all politicians are clowns. Trump can get away with saying things because he has a 30 year history of being a character, so people expect that from him. What other person could pay off a stripper and say, on camera, that he is going to "grab em by the p*ssy" and still be elected? Does it make it right? No, but you have Trump..who people know probably does all the stuff he's been accused of. You also have Biden, who is being accused of a lot as well and most people figure he's probably guilty. Also have Biden who has been in the game so long that you know he won't have any new ideas.

.. There are more people identifying as GOP now than in 2016 and way more than 2008/2012, ... FWIW, for 2016 you are correct. It is up about 3% from about 27% to 30%. You aren't correct for 2008/12. link
