I find it interesting now that trump and republicans are in this position now with this virus

After rejecting scientists advise , and Doctors advise , are now depending on their help to save their lives from their own stupidity , and carelessness. Will they now admit they were wrong? We have no place in our government for people who have no more sense than this. Vote.

tactic is deprive people the right to vote and the right their vote is counted. This had a chance to work in 2016 as it was going to be a close election, 2020 will not be close. We all will stand in lines for hours to past our judgement on trump and his collaborators. GOP simply do not have enough trump supporters to overcome the shear numbers of democrats coming out. GOP/trump have ZERO ways to attract voters, hell they are making MORE democratic voters with each passing day.

trumps COVID humiliation will cause many Gop'ers to reconsider they been lied to and will have an effect. There is NO sympathy vote for trump and GOP outside of Russia

The only “strong” choices are to claim you’ve always been careful about COVID, but that the lying media has been twisting your words, or double down on the stupidity, using whatever crazy conspiracy theories that takes.

If you’re really good at this, you do both at the same time.

..clean up should be relatively easy...yet, we're talking about odious hypocritcal charlatans who claim to be christians--so, perhaps it's best to call-in hazamt team.

When vulgar evil trump, his ghoulish sycophants are finished, kicked out--we're going to need a huge industrial bin-- to haul, throw out the vasura of crooks, theives and mal gente now living and working at at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

KellyAnne Conway was OK exposing her family to the virus even after she knew she tested positive. I think their position is herd immunity but are reluctant to say it out loud.

he wanted the public to hear. He wanted to legitimize open commerce so he could crow about how well the economy was doing during the campaign and he didn't care about the collateral damage at all.

make believe to continue behaving as they have been? There is no way they will learn anything from it and start acting responsibly. They would rather die first.

interview with a MAGA woman yesterday who was at a RW rally to show support for their fascist leader. When asked if his infection changed her mind about masks and other precautions, she said no way. She was sure that he would recover fine and show everyone that the dangers were exaggerated. She went on to say that this is America where everyone should be free to do what they want. No one should be forced to wear a mask, keep social distance, or be tested. No one should be stopped from owning any type of gun they wanted.

In the background I could hear a rally leader asking if the crowd wanted to say a prayer for the orange fascist.

On the other hand, at least his illness has saved some lives since 2 of his rallies have been cancelled.

His recovery will just be seen as proof that covid is no big deal and that God has chosen the orange one for greatness.

I'm guessing you meant to use the noun, not the verb ?

To advise is to give advice.
