Am I missing something? Covid’s been reported to have a kill rate of 3.4% to 15%, depending on heath and age of the patient since at least March.

There’s no way he didn’t know. He knew. He just lied about it and called it politics, as if that were some kind of defense or get-out-of-jail card.

The Republicans all knew. They were complicit. And likely cashing checks from Russia.

They all belong in prison.

There’s no way CNN and other news outlets didn’t know. They were reporting similar numbers. They know this trash bag in the Office was lying the whole time. They reported that, too.

So, sorry, too late for the media to pull the tizzy couch.

And they should do it with an open checkbook to fix the damage they did cause.

They’ve deliberately made themselves vectors for the virus. This is where the fairness doctrine comes screaming in. With that in place, you don’t have the excuse of not knowing.

It does highlight the need for appropriate legal recourse against “news” channels that claim to be entertainment channels in one sense and informational channels in another. They need an open checkbook to fix their missteps, too.

There has been no "blow-back" when The Biggest Loser ignored the Russian bounties on American troops. There was very little "blow-back" from the "military are suckers, dopes, and losers." I'll believe this latest revelation will cause any significant blow-back when I see it.

And although I find it inconceivable there is anyone left "in the middle of the road", apparently there are, and THOSE are the ones to target, along with brand new participants (those have never, or rarely vote).

We vote in huge numbers and hope that somehow those votes will be fairly counted. Hope springs eternal...

Wolfie was literally orgasmic when he saw U.S. bombs and missiles exploding even while they were killing Iraqi children and citizens.

He's a poser. He plays whatever side the headlines call for.

immediately afterward began a blitz of fake Clinton opposition 'news'.

This time? More Caravans? Manufactured Ukraine tidbits from Giuliani and Barr? China invasion? Unrest in dem cities leading to Marshall Law? Durham and Meadows claiming Obama and Biden crimes?

So many Trump scandals and outrages, perhaps this time there isn't a magic cure-all surprise.

He not only chose not to act, he and Kushner and his other evil minions made getting help more difficult and blocked aid multiple times. These demons need to rot in the millionth circle of hell. The least we can do is force them out and hold them accountable. If we don't do it this time, we will be in for much worse than the likes of Trump. Not to dehumanize him, but I don't see Trump as a human so much as the embodiment of evil. Those attracted to him and who voted for him are evil, too. He is a malignant disease. Not a day goes by where his words and actions aren't punching the decent people on this planet in the gut because they are so vile.
