Why no videos of Donny today?

Seems like if he was doing well, they could throw another 18 second “Hey, I’m fine!” video up on twitter to reassure the nation...

The right says he is doing one-arm pushups with three doctors on his back.

Well, there is a request to delay the return of the full senate, and that request isn't from the democrats, it's from Mitch Mcconnell.

It's not like they were going to pass any legislation..... so no big deal.....

Does McConnell have ultimate authority in this matter?

People who go to a rally are not expecting to social distance. The very idea of social distancing at that kind of thing is pretty absurd.

I think you are mostly upset that Trump supporters do not let the threat of a virus rule their lives but you let it rule yours. They see the risk but take it. It is the kind of thing some people just cannot bring themselves to do and those that cannot envy people who are willing to take a chance.


No. My problem is that the President is causing irresponsible behavior, and then making it even more risky by not allowing gaps and forcing socially distancing signage to come down.

I have no problem with people going out, and I am certainly not envious (certainly not of people at Trump rallies).... But, it needs to be responsible, massing together maskless people into a large mob for no reason other than looking good on TV is just wrong....

Anyone who says Trump rallies are executed in a responsible way is simply wrong. This kind of foolishness should not be coming from the President.

Again, the fact that rallies are now canceled due to his diagnosis, is empirically good for society, it will save lives and resources....

I don't know. He must need somebody's consent, or he would just be telling, not asking.

Four minute video just posted:

Good! Hopefully he can debate in two weeks.

EDIT: WTF happens at 1:04 after he says “therapeutics” ?!?!?! Yikes!

Looks like I was on to something...............................

It's looking increasingly like Donald Trump's Rose Garden event a week ago could sink Trump's SCOTUS nominee

It wouldn't surprise me if the libbies planned this all out and had a sick "plant" infect everyone. I put nothing past these scumbags!!


Geezus man. Being a non-essential in the Trump pandemic has made you go coocoo for cocoa puffs.

If there’s one thing Donny doesn’t want to do, it’s appear weak.

Hiding in a hospital for several days does not project strength.


But hiding in a basement for months does?

Trump isn't brave. The vast majority of his lies are done to protect himself from anything that reflects reality. And he lies a lot.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
