LOLOL.
Why not call something that is misleading a lie? Democrats call Trumps OPINION a lie.This is why they claim he's "lied" Lord only knows how many thousands of times because they even call his opinions lies.

But a sadistic part of me feels that if Americans are stupid enough to reelect him then they deserve him--and all the catastrophes that will follow him.
Good Lord do not give democrats any other ideas to try.

BBC - Media Bias/Fact Check

Overall, we rate the BBC Left-Center biased based on story selection that slightly favors the left and High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing of information.
Yes Sir !!!,

I guess you grew out of your girlfriend's government cheese sandwiches !!! My apologizes !!!

I still wouldn't call it left wing !!!

Left-wing would be like MSNBC, Huffington Post, The Other 98%, and further left. That would be like me calling the Wall Street Journal right-wing when it is really centrist with just a slight hair lean to the right !!!

No, I'm still into the grilled cheese sandwiches but the GF has long been in the rearview mirror !!!

The DNC won't admit to China Joe being leftwing either so you have that in common with them !!!

A failure to admit !!!

BTW - back on topic, Mooch lied !!! The end result is more screaming at the sky for dems !!!

Roughly 26 million Americans are unemployed because of Trump's inept response to the Coronavirus.

https://www.marketplace.org/2020/08/...yed-right-now/

Is my perspective still weird?
YES! Your perspective is still weird and completely wrong. Trump did not invent this stupid virus and he has followed every single recommendation given to him by the scientists per both Fauci and Birx on numerous occasions. The scientists couldn't even decided if we should wear masks or not. They have changed their minds so many times, nobody can keep up. When I mention this to a democrat, they come back with "the scientists are learning more and more about the virus and as they learn, they adjust their recommendations". That's all well and fine but if you are going to give the experts a pass then you have to do the same for the president. He's not a scientist or a doctor but you expect him to know more than the experts who are advising him?

I also know for a FACT there was a ton of stuff being done that most Americans don't know about because the media isn't reporting on it. Early on, Trump had to have literally hundreds of regulations changed because they were hindering our efforts to respond to the virus. Regulations related to healthcare, insurance, pharma, transportation, the food industry, manufacturing and many many more. I happen to work in one of those industries and our hands were tied in the beginning when trying to respond until he lifted the regulations so we could do what needed to be done. It sure as heck wasn't him putting COVID patients into nursing homes causing thousands of our most vulnerable to die of the virus. I've also yet to hear anybody say what else he could have done that he hasn't already done that is within his power. So you can sit there and blame him all you like but you might want to at least get your facts straight. All of this being said, I'm in no way a Trump fan and I certainly do not like him as a person but this fake outrage and blaming him for something that was completely out of his control to stop is getting old.

Accurate...

Michelle Obama sitting in her $12 million dollar mansion, with her $60 million dollar book deal, and Netflix deal estimated to be worth between $150-$300 million, is feeling depressed. If that’s not privileged, I’m not sure what is.

"#firefauci"
"it will go away on its own"
"it's a democratic hoax"
etc, etc.



Trump has no consistency of his ramblings on any topic and contradicts himself day to day. He just repeats the last thing he heard that agrees with his feelings at that particular moment. That causes confusion and people will pick and choose the words from him they want to hear. As a result, people are dying.


If you would have watched the DNC yesterday you would have seen the speech given by the a woman who lost her dad to Covid. He worshiped Trump, listened to his downplaying the risks and decided it was fine for him to go to a karaoke bar. Otherwise a healthy guy, he's dead now. She blames Trump. You can deny it all you want, but people who are losing loved ones are blaming him. Words matter.

Her exact words were:


"My father had only one pre-existing condition: he trusted Donald Trump. And for that he paid with his life."

Why are you just parroting some crap that Trump tweeted this morning?
