This week the United States achieved another milestone under the “leadership” of Donald Trump.

The US has surpassed 200,000 coronavirus deaths. Who sent the ricin to Trump
Ricin attacks against the WH seem more routine rather than random and their origins do seem to follow ideologies more worried about the extremism within the White House, although why would Canadians want to harm POTUS. Darn that NAFTA 2.0. The most recent example just happened, when a ricin envelope was sent to the White House in…
Canada reported zero COVID-19 deaths on Friday; the U.S.? 1,094
Friday was the anniversary of both the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon and the assault on a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya. On September 11, 2020 — to far less consternation and alarm — 1,094 Americans died mostly preventable deaths as a result of a pandemic that’s been allowed to…
GA-Sen B: Loeffler (R) Blames Protestors, Not Gunman, For Protestors Deaths In Kenosha Shooting
True to form: x Blaming the shooting targeting protesters — 2 were killed — on the protesters themselves is the take Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler chose for the incident in Kenosha: https://t.co/qPw26VwTEm— Tia Mitchell, AJC’s Washington Correspondent (@ajconwashington) August 27, 2020 Some context: A white, 17-year-old police admirer was arrested Wednesday after two people were…
Do polls undercount Trump support like COVID deaths
The strangest thing is the GOP attempt to con the nation into forgetting about a massive and avoidable death toll. x If this makes you feel rage, then you’ve got to vote. pic.twitter.com/hnFgB4lbUX— The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) August 26, 2020 In polling, there’s still too much horse-racing as “gap-tightening” memes abound on the most boring…
“57 percent of Republicans think 176,000 coronavirus deaths (and counting) is acceptable”
Trump as usual tried another bait and switch claiming another therapeutic emergency authorization was a “cure” for COVID. The announcement was designed to get amplified during the RNC. They’re counting that there’s enough people who will want to play the odds, free-riding off others wearing masks. x 57 percent of Republicans think 176,000 coronavirus deaths (and…
Trump's quarter-million deaths achievable by election day, US records 1200 deaths yesterday
Kansas demonstrated unintentionally that mask use “flattens the curve” by comparing counties that had mask mandates with those that didn’t. x US records more than 2,000 #coronavirus deaths in 24 hours, the highest number of daily fatalities in 3 months: Johns Hopkins University #COVID19 trackerhttps://t.co/5v8lF3itDm— Julie Laumann (@Otpor17) August 7, 2020 x It is August…
Another Trump Presser: more raw animal magnetism and 157,690 deaths
Live Blog below: Trump to hold press conference today at 5:30 in briefing room Apparently they’ve given up trying to announce it for 5pm. Will Trump show up on time? Will there be medical professionals there, or generals to affirm yesterday’s “attack” in Beirut? Trump on Obama's speech at John Lewis's funeral: "I thought it…
Trump on the 157,000+ COVID-19 deaths: “It is what it is.”
Donald Trump with one phrase illustrates that he is a man without a soul, a man without empathy. He simply does not care about anyone but himself. Trump cares nothing about American deaths. x x YouTube Video Watch the full episode here. AXIOS' Jonathan Swan interviewed Trump. In that one interview, he displayed exactly who he really…
Trump Presser: aside from all the American deaths, there have been fewer American deaths
Today’s takeaway from another presser that this time was an hour late: Trump thinks the massive fertilizer explosion in Beirut was an attack, Trump gathered new data to try to divert attention from the current economic recession. And for some reason the state of Florida has superior mail-in voting ability than other states. Goofy Gaslight…
Trump Presser – 100,000 deaths signified a “good job” by him, Trump owns them
Live Blog Below (not really a doozy) Trump’s incompetence and negligence if not already a sign of Trump’s unfitness for office can be measured on charts. We’re now at “tremendous progress”. Trump knows he will lose if people can vote. Republicans know they can’t control the House or Senate if people can vote. https://t.co/6sjHh0gnp2 —…

Tie or Toss-Up? The GOP wishes it were, after possibly 224,000 deaths by Election Day
Trump said if there were 100,000 deaths, “then we’ll have done a good job”. Low-Information Individualism may continue among the Trumpist population to November. There will be more conflicts on mask policies, as if resistance was a pro-Trump statement. And the death toll will likely rise. “We’ll have done a good job if only 100,000…
#PardonMeTrump wears a mask once, his minions praise him for waiting 100 days and 135,000 deaths
The mask wearing photo-op was a ploy to divert attention from his other troubles like Russian bounties, retaliation against Alex Vindman, and the Roger Stone clemency. And then there’s his claim that playing lots of golf is better because he plays faster, now that his play up to now is equivalent to playing more golf…
WYFP? Why does it take 133,000 deaths for some idiot to wear a mask for a photo-op
All photo-op, all the time, as IMPOTUS* the spokesmodel, does a pageant walk while masked. He’s gone from ignoring mask rules to following them in specific circumstances, and only because he canceled a campaign rally. Today is only the second time Trump has been photographed wearing a mask. x Too little, too late for the…
US still leads in COVID deaths, as Trump slows testing, visits Arizona today
Trump’s going to visit the three miles of new fence (197 miles are replacement fencing), and do undoubtedly another youth rally, remembering that the last one featured a presidential crest with golf clubs held by the eagle.

Kudlow says we just have to “get used to” record COVID cases and deaths (as well as post-racism)
Also, Larry Ludlow says that the election of Obama proves there is no systemic racism, much like two-handing a glass of water and shuffling down 11o ramps is not a sign of deteriorating abilities. Executive decision on tonight's #DickAward goes to Larry Kudlow who doesn't give a fuck about people dying, and those who lose their…

One cannonball is another's CarolynGombellRally as America reaches 100,112 deaths
Summer is the time for distractions from the pandemic. Shuttle launches are also a spectacle that Trump attending makes a distraction from the pandemic.

resurgence risks and spikes coming soon as the US hits 100,000 deaths
100,000 remains a real number even as there will be variations and underreporting what with definitive deaths being a problematic number for overreporting.
