Giving the "Medal of Freedom" to Rush, Cheapens Trump far more than Limbaugh.

...It doesn't cheapen the, "Medal" it defines the person who gives it. Rush is a well known person who hates those who are disabled, and puts down almost everyone who he disagrees with. He is the last person to get the "highest civilian honor."

...Real reason? Trump is trying to provide a positive message to his base. The rest of us don't agree for one moment that Limbaugh deserves a "Medal of Freedom." Trump has defined himself to the rest of us even stronger than before. Trump is who he is. He admires who he admires. (Hannity and Limbaugh)

If Collins votes to "acquit" then we must convict her in November. She needs to pay for this.

...Let her defend this vote in front of her voters. She will have a tough time. She is a do nothing stooge, who claims to be something. Yes, Collins will have plenty of money, but that is not why people win. This vote if followed through to acquit Trump, needs to be the rung in hell that she is sent to. Collins needs to lose, and lose big. She is the ultimate con artist just like Trump.

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai doctors have seen success in treating severe cases of the new coronavirus with combination of medications for flu and HIV, with initial results showing vast improvement 48 hours after applying the treatment, they said on Sunday.

The doctors from Rajavithi Hospital in Bangkok said a new approach in coronavirus treatment had improved the condition of several patients under their care, including one 70-year-old Chinese woman from Wuhan who tested positive for the coronavirus for 10 days.

The drug treatment includes a mixture of anti-HIV drugs lopinavir and ritonavir, in combination with flu drug oseltamivir in large doses.

"This is not the cure, but the patient's condition has vastly improved. From testing positive for 10 days under our care, after applying this combination of medicine the test result became negative within 48 hours," Dr. Kriangska Atipornwanich, a lung specialist at Rajavithi, told reporters.

"The outlook is good but we still have to do more study to determine that this can be a standard treatment."

I really didn't make this up..It is true. Hit the link above. Yes, this person has apologized, but she is "STUPID" to do this. Just as "STUPID" as Donald Trump, and that says a whole lot.

Why they cannot "Fix" the next election. It won't be close because Trump is a "liar and a crook."

...They can fix an election and change results if it is close. If the vote is sixty percent for our candidate, and 40 percent for Trump, they cannot change the results to their cause. So tell everyone something that everyone already knows. "Trump is a liar and a crook. The Republican Party supports a liar and a crook." And now, everyone sees it. Sure, Trump will get 35 percent of the vote, but that is not enough. The crooks cannot change millions of votes in states where people are really mad. Oh, and if Trump gets 40 percent, that still will be millions short. As far as senators are concerned, it is the same. Republicans supported a "liar and a crook."
..Most of us, hate liars and crooks, especially arrogant, mean, and vicious crooks.

One defeat does NOT decide the entire war. Example:Sunday, June 22, 1941. Invasion of Soviet Union

...A terrible defeat that killed hundreds of thousands in the first few months, but it was not over at all.


...The invasion of the Soviet Union by Hitler. It looked very bad for months if you study it. That is often lost in the Sea of History. Yes, it very bad as the German's marched within in five miles of Moscow. But, the Soviets held and eventually turned the Germans back. It looked like certain defeat for the Soviets, but the winter arrived and the Germans were so sure they would win quickly and decisively. that the German generals did not plan for a winter..
...The Soviet winter that year, 1941-42, was especially cold, And the Germans did not have winter clothes to protect them as they fought. That turned the tide in WWII...The Soviets eventually turned the tide and forced them out and continued on to Berlin in 1945..


.........The lesson is: one defeat does not decide the war. Yes, Trump/McConnell may have won this one, but the big battle is November. Trump will not win in November. He is a liar and crook. As well as an ass**le.. More people know it now than ever. All around the world we know. The big battle is in November and Trump will not win.
