A guy bitching and gloating about Trump and salivating over having Biden in charge. You may get your wish. Don’t disappear when we call your happy ass out over Mr. Shotgun into the ceiling President.

It's a no win.

Haven't we all had a poor shot once in our life ?

I saw a preview of what a president 'plugs' biden would be like. Hot Shots, Part Deux was on.... and the first time they showed President Benson, the wife and I looked at each other and said... biden... it was eerie, mannerisms, gaffs, everything... When Bensen said Emperor Tojo to the Japanese Prime Minister, I could see biden doing that...

Explain how Trump is amoral.
Explain how Trump is a compulsive liar.
I watched a version of the video a few days ago and again today and that part is not in it. I was surprised to see it on the version the news showed. The focus of the one I saw was angry Gramma Karen yelling at the cart people.

"The explosion of Covid-19 cases in Sun Belt states is becoming another albatross for President Donald Trump’s reelection hopes — and creating a new opening for Joe Biden and Democrats in November.

Republican governors in Florida, Arizona and Texas followed Trump’s lead by quickly reopening their states while taking a lax approach to social distancing and mask-wearing. Now each of them is seeing skyrocketing coronavirus caseloads and rising hospitalizations, and Republican leaders are in retreat.

It’s hard to overstate the gravity of the situation for Trump: Lose any one of the three states, and his reelection is all but doomed."

I distinctly recall a presser back when the task force was giving dailies in which a .gov smart guy provided data that showed the virus would be severely beaten back by heat, humidity, and UV. Yet here we are. WTF?

Jeff, you do realize that the reports that the Russian GRU were offering bounties to the Afghans was fake news, right?

Fake numbers in COVID cases are the only thing anyone needs to know. Double counting, etc.

Let's not ignore that the spikes are in states where Trump scheduled rallies.

COVID NUMBERS RELATED RESPONSES = BULLSHIT by DEMS

Amazing we were doing ok until George Floyd was killed but miraculously, none of the spikes are related to that.


Dems can't win without cheating.

I didn't hear that, but it makes sense that no one would no about it if it was made up. The other possibility is not telling the President intentionally, then claiming they did so he can be seen as a liar.

My neighbors had a trip planned. One of them works at a hospital in the area. The census at the hospital is so low, they decided to just leave early and vacation longer.

The hospital has so little business, they are happy for employees to take extra time off.

Weird how the reality doesn't match the MSM propaganda.

Back in Houston, TX

Coronavirus: A Texas Medical Center continuing update

UPDATE | June 26, 2020, 4 p.m.: At noon today, Harris County raised its COVID-19 Threat System to Level 1, signifying severe and uncontrolled levels of COVID-19 across the county. Outbreaks are worsening and the county’s ability to perform testing and contact tracing is strained. Residents are encouraged to stay home and work safe.

At a late morning press conference, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo spoke about the current circumstances.

“Today, we find ourselves careening toward a catastrophic and unsustainable situation,” she said. “Our current hospitalization rate is on pace to overwhelm the hospitals in the near future. … It is incumbent on all of us to buckle down and act.”

Although there is space in hospital surge capacity right now, she said, that space could run out in a matter of weeks.

“Our hospitals … are using 100 percent of their base operational capacity right now,” she said. “Our situation is far worse today than when we issued the first Stay Home order in Harris County.”

That is not the case in most of the country. Here in FL the news is doom & gloom about the "surge" of cases, yet hospitals here are advertising on TV begging for patients to come see them. Hospital capacity is available and there are thousands of ventilators sitting in storage not being used. Of course, no media outlet will report that.

EXACTLY! My neighbor actually WORKS at a Harris County hospital (not in the Med Center), and it's so slow there, there are so few patients, they are happy for people to take extra time off! Do you see a disconnect between what Lina la Exploradora, the twenty something woke liberal county judge is telling you, and what my neighbor, who actually WORKS at an empty hospital has said?


My neighbor has exactly zero reason to lie to me. No political hay to be made by lying to me. Compare and contrast with Lina.
