This is what Trump calls "fake news" . . .

seems like a pretty well documented article to me . . .

The President and the Plague
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-president-coronavirus-plague-982150/

Saw a bit of Fearless Leader's presser yesterday . . . he now claims that he's the "ultimate authority" on, well, just about everything . . . thinks we should be thanking him for how well he's handled the pandemic . . . beyond delusional . . .

Great to be back on DU after a lengthy absence . . . look forward to following and posting to various threads . . .

Hang in there, everyone . . . this too shall pass, though probably painfully . . . kinda like a large kidney stone . . .

He doesn't have. Projecting the reality he wants has been his pattern his whole criminal career , along with his being a serial liar. Then he exaggerates it , has other repeat the lies for him, then repeats it over and over again. The truth is his biggest enemy now, and always has been, and those that speak it exposing him. trumps trying to hurt our country , and that will escalate as he fails to get his way, like a spoiled child reacts.

I am making a note to get this issue of Rolling Stone (yes, I am that old that i still like paper back ups to what is on the net!). It is a wonderful timeline. Years from now I can show this to my grandsons, who are now 12 and 10 and their lives have been very much changed by this and they will it will not ever be "quickly forgotten" as the orange monster has suggested. I want them to know this story with the details and this writer has them down very well.

We are going to be fine...eventually.

I hope!

I guess much of that depends on if the trumpsters can see what is in front of their faces. Finally.

although when discussing Rolling Stone, I'm reminded of Howard Stern's comment that it's "more of a pamphlet than a magazine" these days . . ..
