Trump says Covid-19 is ?dying out.?
- Thread starter MadJack
- Start date
Trump also says Trump U wasn't a scam,
Russia didn't help him in the election,
He didn't stiff the contractors on Trump Taj Mahal,
He doesn't cheat on his taxes.
He'll turn over his tax returns tomorrow,
And he can shit snowballs while whistling Dixie.
All lies....except maybe the snowball thing. Rumor is he will do it at his rally.

Tulsa mayor imposes curfew ahead of Trump's rally; police move out supporters who had camped out - live updates

The Oklahoma Supreme Court is expected to rule Friday whether those attending Saturday's campaign rally for President Donald Trump in Tulsa must adhere to federal guidelines for face masks and social distancing.
A court referee heard arguments over the phone Thursday and will make a recommendation to the justices, who are scheduled to discuss the case Friday afternoon. The referee is not expected to disclose his recommendation.
A Tulsa attorney filed a lawsuit this week to stop BOK Center management from hosting the rally "to protect against a substantial, imminent and deadly risk to the community."
The petition cites a rise in documented cases of COVID-19 in Tulsa County and guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"All credible, qualified medical experts, including the CDC, agree that this type of mass-gathering indoor event creates the greatest possible risk of community-wide viral transmission," the petition states.
Oklahoma set a new state record for case increases in a single day on Thursday, confirming 450 new cases.
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt has said that people concerned about the spread of COVID-19 at the rally should stay home.

Curfew imposed ahead of rally
The mayor of Tulsa, Oklahoma, imposed a curfew ahead of President Donald Trump's campaign rally there, prompting officers to move out supporters who had been camping out in front of the arena.
Mayor G. T. Bynum announced the order Thursday evening, citing the expected crowds of more than 100,000, the planned protests and the civil unrest that has already erupted in the city and around the nation this month.
Bynum also said he's received information from the Tulsa Police Department and other law enforcement agencies "that shows that individuals from organized groups who have been involved in destructive or violent behavior in other states are planning to travel to the City of Tulsa for purposes of causing unrest in and around the rally."
Bynum said the order is needed to protect health and safety and preserve lives and property.
The curfew of parts of the city's downtown started at 10 p.m. Thursday and is in effect until 6 a.m. Saturday. It begins again at the conclusion of Trump's rally and continues into Sunday morning.
?Big crowds and lines already forming in Tulsa,? Trump tweeted Friday morning, hours after the curfew went into effect.

Big crowds and lines already forming in Tulsa. My campaign hasn?t started yet. It starts on Saturday night in Oklahoma!
He also issued this warning: "Any protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes who are going to Oklahoma please understand, you will not be treated like you have been in New York, Seattle, or Minneapolis. It will be a much different scene!"
Trump supporters began lining up outside the BOK Center days in advance of the rally.
"Sacrificing a week of our lives is nothing for what Trump has done for us," Robin Stites, who arrived on Monday to secure the No. 2 place in line, told the The Oklahoman earlier this week.
In a Facebook post Thursday evening, the Tulsa Police Department said anyone in violation of the mayor's executive order will be asked to leave the area. Those who refuse may be cited or arrested.
In addition to the curfew, the order bans Molotov cocktails or other combustible devices.
"This is an unprecedented event for the City of Tulsa and has hundreds of moving parts," the post said. "We are asking for everyone?s help in making this a safe event for all citizens."

I do not understand why the president is going forward with this thing. I just don't get it. WHY?
Well, I know why but it makes no sense at all.

The narcissists will stop at nothing to appeal to his base and get re-elected
He couldn't care less about the consequences.
Hopefully American Voters have seen and heard enough of his stupidity.
I wish that were true, but something like 46% still support Trump. In Okie-la-homa the percentage is higher.
Nonetheless, tens of thousands of them are going to crowd together - mostly without masks or any other protection. They'll be back-to-back and belly-to-belly.
That may be good news - maybe enough of them will get a dose of CV, take it home with them and infect others, to turn Okie-La-Homa blue by election time.
I hear skulnutz, refrog and cockroach are going. :toast:
Saaaayy, where are those three? Did they all get a dose somewhere already?
