Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) lavished praise on Donald Trumps (widely panned) handling of the coronavirus pandemic on Friday, declaring him to be the greatest testing President God has ever created in an awkward tweet.
The GOP lawmakers outlandish claim was made in defense of Trump, who is receiving ongoing criticism over the lack of adequate testing in the U.S. for the virus that has killed more than 37,000 nationwide. Public health experts say a vast increase in testing is essential to slowing its spread.

Maybe Gaetz is still wearing the gas mask and he just missed hitting the ,.

(95,244 posts)It is straight and proper English so far as it goes. Just awfully poor word order which conveys a meaning in advance of an important element of the 'thought' he meant to convey.

Maybe who but that might confuse the cult.

(115,681 posts)What that toady neglects to mention, of course, is what really matters is the number of tests relative to the population. The US has tested 10,815 people per million population. Germany has tested 20,629 per million. Iceland has tested 120,416 per million (granted, Iceland doesn't even have a million people but they obviously have recognized that testing as many people as possible is essential). https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

This is such a pivotal election, it could be our last chance to avoid a long, dark period.
Wisconsin gave me hope. There are a Hell of a lot more of us than them. We need to vote!
If we show up we can win....not just over Chitolini but down ballot races, down to School Boards.
This is Crazy vs Non Crazy. Now what that evil idiot does if he is beaten soundly like Goldwater? He will cry foul you can bet on it, he may have to be physically removed.
