Most people have a trace of racism in them. Except little children. They haven't been taught yet.

However immense the damage he has done to his career and life prospects, it needs to be worse for this dumb bass and his brethren......

Although prejudice can be a symptom of racism, I understand your point. That said, I still believe that many people harbor racist beliefs. Maybe not as virulent as "my race is better than yours," but still insidious.

Nice to see the Dump heading to Florida tomorrow to help and encourage the mayors, healthcare leaders and frontline workers since Florida is in a tailspin with COVID. Testing showing 26-31% positivity rate in South Florida.
Oops, never mind. He is going to raise money...
It's pretty crazy that my neighboring borough of queens has a near 61% of the population that has antibodies for covid. that said ... herd immunity.
Maryland has now had 14 days in a row with a positivity rate of under 5%. Our relative success is perhaps attributable to Governor Hogan, a Republican, who has followed the advice of health professionals, closed things when they needed to be closed, required masks, and told the truth (an important but rare quality for a politician). He is widely respected. Though he is a Republican, he has an 80% approval rating among the state's Democrats.

Saw your governor on TV today.
My county is now at 26%, 27 straight days of increased hospitalizations. On June 18, 2000 COVID cases in hospital, now over 10,000 in hospitals and growing.
Cases in my city have grown from 200 a day average to 1200+ per day in the last 22 days.

Can't be true. Trump and Pence say the virus is under control.

G, we all need to hope these antibodies ‘ last.’ Starting to hear they may not, some people now with their second infection. Did you see Tom Hanks address this on TV this week? I didn’t but saw a replay. He said his antibodies are far less than they were a month ago.
Also, I have a neighbor that is part of the aggressive research for a vaccine. She thinks we may have one in 2021 that is more in line as to our yearly flu vaccine... meaning somewhat helpful, more so in some years than other years. She hopes she is wrong, but not convinced it will be what we and the world need.
Anything will help.

Trump is clinically ill. No debate. He is pathological. As for his fluffer, I don’t understand why he is doing this to himself.
I loved how the CDC said, NO, we stand by our recommendations.
One of three Americans live in California, Arizona, Texas and Florida. Three of the four have republican governors. California, Texas and Arizona all falling back in phased restrictions which is directly against the orange POS’s delusional wishes.
The fucker can keep his head in the sand with his fat ass sticking up all he wants, but with Texas and Arizona moving back to phase two and people in Florida knowing their idiot governor making a fool of himself daily, the truth is transparent. The Texas governor has requested military medical personnel to help with our crisis.
i find it amusing when folks refer to texas and the hospitalization rates, about how through out texas there's still plenty of hospital space. I think they kindly forget that texas is a pretty big ass state and yer not goign to be helicoptering every single covid patient to a neighboring free hospital bed when the one in your city gets overfilled.
I need to cut my fingernails.

Our governor has stopped all elective surgeries in 105 counties. To your point, some of these counties are 750 miles apart.
We are living though times that will be written about for decades.
Our neighborhood restaurant where we thought safe, has closed for a week to deep clean, and test all employees. They say it was voluntary, however, most deep cleaning only takes a day or so.
We were there Tuesday. Really worried about it now.

These are dark days; but the fact is that humanity, as a whole, is doing fine. This is not an extinction level event; mankind is going to make it through Covid. We need the next generation to keep us moving forward. My kids are frankly doing much better with all of this than I am, I think.

I hate to ask this, but what are you doing going to eat in a restaurant in Palm Beach County right now? We are part of the epicenter. I haven't eaten in a restaurant since mid-March, and I sure as heck wouldn't go now.
Nobody 60 and up should be going into an indoor space if it can be helped.

Funny how perspectives can vary. I'm glad to have my 30 something kids in the mix. They're pretty smart, and I trust them.

I just watched some of that fuckwit Betsy Devos’ morning press interviews. I’m good with not having kids more than I was before.

She is perfect for Dump and his cult. Willfully ignorant, old, rich, a science denier, zero credentials for her post and has a “ let them eat cake” attitude.
She failed to address teacher safety, plans for backup when teachers become ill, didn’t answer the questions on how to handle 25-27M children that ride the buss twice a day, how to social distance within classrooms designed as they are where it simply isn’t possible and had a deer in the headlights look as to what is proper protocol if not that of the CDC.
She and the orange dump wanting a one size fits all solution is beyond ignorant, but that is what one should expect from two blatantly ignorant people. One is a conman and the other part of a pyramid scheme business. Peas in a pod!

As long as Trump and his disciples continue to deny the reality of the virus and its effects, he will continue to lose support. The polls are remarkably consistently showing him fading nationally and in swing states as well as Texas and Georgia and Ohio.
On the other hand, his people will cross any line of decency or legality to get him re-elected so a late surprise is always possible.

I liked the teacher who did this.
I'm so sick of the small group of Jews who are Trump supporters and deny that besides being a bigot and a racist, he's also anti-Semitic. Some of them will try the old "Well his daughter married a Jew." Your son-in-law being a Jew doesn't automatically inoculate you from this form of bigotry. So there's no surprise from the Mary Trump interview tonight:
'President Donald Trump's niece said she has heard her uncle use racial and anti-Semitic slurs.
"Oh, yeah, of course I did," Mary Trump said in an interview airing Thursday night on "The Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC. "And I don't think that should surprise anybody given how virulently racist he is today."
Asked specifically whether she had ever heard the president use the N-word, Trump said, "Yeah."
"And anti-Semitic slurs, specifically?" Maddow asked. "Yes," Trump answered.'
They're pretty smart, and I trust them.
A highlight of yesterday's "news" conference. While the US burns Trump brags about light bulbs (and getting rid of the "Clean Water Act.") The sickness never ends. From CNN:
"As for the incandescent lightbulbs, which Trump apparently considers a highlight of his administration, he noted: “I brought ’em back. They have two nice qualities: They’re cheaper and they’re better. They look better, they make you look so much better. That’s important to all of us.”
Incandescent bulbs never vanished and weren’t brought back. Trump did eliminate energy efficiency standards for many common lightbulbs, but incandescent bulbs have largely been replaced by cheap, long-lasting and efficient LED bulbs. Trump, however, claimed the old-style bulbs are 'selling like hotcakes.'”

He's got his finger on the pulse of America....
The White House said, “ science should not stand in the way of school reopening.”
As America leads the entire world in infections, hospitalization, ICU patients and deaths, sees 37 states moving in the wrong direction and refrigerated trucks ordered in Texas, Florida and Arizona to keep bodies, our president talks of low water pressure in his shower.
RBG better hang on until Jan 21.
