Your Idea of "nobody" must be different from the rest of the world.



Nothing irresponsible about a peaceful rally.



You are saying he should not be having rallies. BLM riots "OK" Trump rallies "BAD." To keep calling peaceful rallies "unsafe" is silly. You want to be afraid of life be afraid of life. Some of us are not. You want to hide go hide. The rest of us want to get back to normal. 99.5% survival rate and you are afraid for your life?


I have never said BLM rallies are OK (even before COVID, though for different reasons)….

They are unsafe in the current circumstance. If he wants to have rallies he should keep up the warning signs, enforce social distancing, and encourage mask wearing.

I don't want to hide, but I don't want to encourage non-essential mass events where people are all mobbed together in a huge room.... If you don't see the issue with this, well....

Trump is the President if he has to do rallies (he does not), he should do them in a responsible way and keep the warning signs, the social distancing signs, and the staggered chairs. Ordering staff to tear down the signage and unstaggered the chairs is beyond irresponsible for a President. It would be irresponsible if my local Applebee's Manager did it, but for the President? Absurd...….

Not the point if you said it. We were told it by source after source. So, BLM safe then Trump safe.

You just do not get it. By this point we have had social distancing and mask wearing shoved down our throats for six months. We do not need signs at a rally. Nobody wants to go to a rally and stand in circles 6 feet apart. Trump supporters see the risk and decide to take it. Hurting nobody but themselves. And as we have flattened the curve long ago it is a risk worth taking.

Maybe you need to be reminded about masks and distancing, Trump supporters do not.

What drives you crazy is people who attend Trump rallies are not afraid and you are.

Turned the computer on a 1pm
for the first time today. Trump
is still alive and might be released
tomorrow!! Twitter has him in an
iron lung with a constant transfusion
of sacrificed virgins blood being
pumped into him. H-wood is
screaming NOOOOOOOO!!
They will wheel sick Senators
into the Senate in wheelchairs
for the vote

"There is a long and venerable tradition of ill or medically infirmed senators being wheeled in to cast critical votes on the Senate floor.”

It's a good day.

Chris Christie was called out for checking himself into hospital after experiencing mild COVID-19 symptoms after months of downplaying the virus' dangers, failing to take recommended precautions and sounding cavalier and uncaring by remarking that Americans were "gonna have to" accept high coronavirus death tolls.



Another "brave" soul. LOL.

"cavalier and uncaring by remarking that Americans were "gonna have to" accept high coronavirus death tolls." Why is it cavalier and uncaring about speaking the truth? As far as I'm concerned we don't have high Covid death numbers. If you do think we have high numbers than why are you upset at him for telling you the truth? Oh I almost forgot you are a leftie of course you can't handle the truth.

No, what drives me crazy is we have a President who ignores local health and saftey mandates by removing locally required signage to appear "Alpha"....

And, of course his supporters are eating it up.

Contrast this to Obama, who loved to smoke, but made sure to never smoke after becoming President because it set a bad example for health, because he realized that many people emulate the President.
What the President does matters, if he engages in unsafe behavior, others will emulate.

The scared little rightie (much like yourself) ran right to the hospital at the first sign of illness. He's not accepting a high death toll for himself obviously.

I see you still haven't eased the burden on humanity and offed yourself either. You were volunteering everyone old to save the economy by having the vulnerable die.
