Trump's "Great People" Are Guaranteeing A Second Wave Far Worse Than The First Wave We're In Now
Remember the Suffolk County protestors we looked at on Saturday? These idiots aren't finished making news... and their very own lovely Trumpist poetry: Trump was attracted to the same demonstration and rather than "idiots" who will steepen Long Island's curve, he saw them as "great people." Is he unaware that the guidelines they-- and he-- are protesting come from the White House itself-- *his* White House? While they were out protesting on Saturday, there were 42,050 confirmed cases in Suffolk County (about the same number as in Pakistan, which is headed towards becoming on... more »
TRUMP IS JEALOUS OF THE VACCINE
Many people think the president's announcement yesterday that he's taking hydroxychloroquine was a brilliant act of media manipulation. Josh Barro disagrees: This is not Trump "playing cable news so well." The market was up 900 points today. Today's message was supposed to be about strengthening the economy. (It's a restaurant roundtable, remember?) Now he stepped on that message with the sort of nonsense that hurt his polls in April. https://t.co/bdxbAjIEqG — Josh Barro (@jbarro) May 18, 2020 Barro is right.

The equal opportunity crook
I can see why white liberals have become so defensive. 1) Their president who was supposed to absolve them and the country of all past sins of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination and bloated ineffective social programs designed and run by their own party failed.
