Trump can’t defend his disastrous response to the global pandemic — We must not let him!


.@GStephanopoulos: What’s your best sense of when the U.S. can get back to some semblance of normalcy? Speaker Nancy Pelosi: “Everybody has to made their determination in their own community but it has to be based on again, the evidence and the data.”


“He’s saying if we proceed … that’s why we’re saying let’s proceed in that way with testing,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi tells @GStephanopoulos when asked if she disagrees with Dr. Anthony Fauci that U.S. has enough COVID-19 tests for phase one of reopening.


Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Trump’s support for stay-at-home order protests is a “distraction from the fact that he has not appropriately done testing …” “The key that opens the door to the economy is testing, testing testing. We haven’t done it right.”


“It’s easier if we can have proxy voting," Speaker Nancy Pelosi tells @GStephanopoulos when asked about new actions Congress will take to provide Americans relief amid COVID-19. Pelosi adds she prefers House approves proxy voting in "a bipartisan way.”

“Trump praised the Chinese 15 times in January and February as the coronavirus spread across the world...[he] left our country unprepared and unprotected for the worst public health and economic crisis of our lifetime.”

The most economically, scientifically, and technologically advanced country on the planet is ranked 38th in tests per person. Donald Trump had to work hard to screw up such a massive advantage. His trust in China lost months, as did his belief COVID-19 would magically go away.


Mueller found that some 2016 political rallies in US were organized by Russians on social media. These active measures seek to divide and defeat us. Ask yourself who benefits from American deaths when protestors gather during COVID19.

Perspective: Stop saying "we’re all in this together." You have money. It’s not the same.

There's really no one in America who is doing more to undermine our fight against COVID-19 than the President of the United States. It's mind blowing.


Russia’s Sputnik News publishes an article with the headline “Putin says Coronavirus situation is fully under control.” If I was in Russia, I would be terrified after reading this.


Living in the UK through this, I’m grateful there is no Fox News here. There’s plenty of polarization, but Britons are not gathering in crowds to protest lockdowns that save lives; there’s no media outlet calling thousands of deaths a “hoax”; no leader encouraging insurrection.

It goes without saying that the day this inept, illiterate, incompetent fuck is removed from power will forever be an international holiday.

"A house divided against itself cannot stand." —Abraham Lincoln


Everyone thinks Trump has bungled this crisis because he’s inept. I beg to differ. This is the perfect situation for a wannabe dictator to take full control. Distract & dwindle the population, all the while pilfering the nation’a wealth. He’s helping to cripple us.


if we are not careful, the post-pandemic world may be even more unequal, and a lot angrier


They’re doing it again. Fox News is going to get people killed. But hey, at least the billionaires get their profits
