One Week in Trumplandia

[WhatsHisNuts]

What's your take on the last week?

1. NY Times published an article detailing Trump's tax record information, which included him paying just $750 in two years of his presidency, and paying zero federal income tax in 10 of the previous 15 years.

2. Trump family showed up to the debate wearing masks, but after taking their seats, refused to wear their masks. The Cleveland Clinic staff provided additional masks to the family but they refused to wear them.

3. The Trump and Biden debate is reviewed as a "shit show". During the debate, Trump mocks Biden for wearing a mask.

4. Presidential advisor Hope Hicks tests positive for Coronavirus. Debate moderator Chris Wallace says that Trump and his staff didn't show up in time to receive tests.

5. Wednesday, Trump attends private fundraiser in Minnesota followed by a rally. Thursday, Trump attends private fundraiser in NJ. Friday, he reveals he's infected with the Coronavirus.

6. Members of Trump's staff and other Republicans that participated in the debate and fundraisers, including a senator, test positive for the virus.

7. Trump is admitted to the hospital for treatment.

8. Conflicting reports about the severity of the president's condition come from WH chief of staff and WH physician Sean Conley. Conley later walks back some of his statements regarding the timeline.

9. Trump, still infected with the virus, is driven around by Secret Service agents to show that he's recovering. Media reports on the dangers associated with putting others at risk.

10. Trump leaves Walter Reid hospital to continue his recovery at the WH.


Seems like they didn't take mask wearing seriously. They didn't take the threat of the virus seriously. They knowingly exposed staff, secret service, and fundraiser attendees to the virus.

If you like chaos and irresponsible leadership, Trump's your guy. If they can't protect themselves, how can you expect them to protect Americans? No wonder we're in such a mess.

I know the Politics forum has been awfully quiet the past few days.

I didn't expect anything different from that baboon. Selfish prick. Fuck everyone else!

Business as usual.

"Don't be afraid of Covid"

It's running wild through the WH. He had to be hospitalized and put on oxygen. He was given aggressive treatments reserved for severe cases. Over 200,000 Americans have died from Covid.

He feels better than he did 20 years ago! :142smilie

He thinks we're stupid, but feel free to eat it up.

Didn't the CDC just state that 94% of people deemed to die because of "covid" had 2 or more underlying medical issues?

Why are people who die in accidents but have covid included in the count?

Why are people who die of "covid" but come across border from mexicali or tijuana and happen to die in a US hospital counted in the sd country total for "covid" deaths?

Why are schools closed, when the survival rate for people under 20 is 99.9999 (six nines) and the total number of deaths in sd County for that age bracket is....ZERO?

When Trump said fake news related to this virus; is what he was referring to. If you don't think most of this is political (lockdowns, mandates, masks, etc) I don't know what to tell you.

This is off the charts stupid. The CDC provides the guidelines for categorizing deaths.

You guys keep saying it's political. It's political in that the Administration in charge of keeping people safe has totally blown it and people are angry. Saying it's political is an excuse and pathetic attempt to distract people from the truth. This thing is out of control because of the incompetence of the Trump administration. Full stop.

So how does a country like sweden that had no lockdowns, kids in school and no mask requirement have virtually no cases and haven't for a while?

Why are we closed and threatening more closures?

Why are certain large gatherings ok'd by state and local govts but others are deemed a threat to public health?

It's BS

Sweden has admitted that they didn?t protect the weak and elderly. They had a stretch early on where the elderly were getting crushed.

For the record, we?re not closed. There are protocols to limit large gatherings from taking place. We?ve developed an extremely litigious culture and all we can do is rely on the guidance of the CDC.
