The Donald Trump Score Card

And seeing as they don't like the findings that they, themselves, found, they will have to do this all over again with a new committee that they control.... Then, they won't like that and have to do it all over again about 5 more times.


It's like a fucking broken record with these guys...

Senate Intel report confirms Russia aimed to help Trump in 2016

excerpt:

"Tuesday's bipartisan report, from a panel chaired by North Carolina Republican Richard Burr, undercuts Trump's years of efforts to portray allegations of Kremlin assistance to his campaign as a "hoax," driven by Democrats and a “deep state” embedded within the government bureaucracy.

The intelligence community’s initial January 2017 assessment of Moscow’s influence campaign included “specific intelligence reporting to support the assessment that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and the Russian government demonstrated a preference for candidate Trump,” the committee’s report says. The panel also found “specific intelligence” to support the conclusion that Putin “approved and directed aspects” of the Kremlin’s interference efforts."

You think they might be biased or something?

 

Trump has gone quiet about hydroxychloroquine.



More deaths, no benefit from malaria drug in VA virus study
The research has not been reviewed by other scientists but is the largest look so far of hydroxychloroquine with or without an antibiotic for COVID-19.

excerpt:

"A malaria drug widely touted by President Donald Trump for treating the new coronavirus showed no benefit in a large analysis of its use in U.S. veterans hospitals. There were more deaths among those given hydroxychloroquine versus standard care, researchers reported.

The nationwide study was not a rigorous experiment. But with 368 patients, it’s the largest look so far of hydroxychloroquine with or without the antibiotic azithromycin for COVID-19, which has killed more than 171,000 people as of Tuesday."

 

Trump campaign seizes on immigration order to ignite his base

Trump 2020 campaign seizes on immigration order to ignite his base - CNNPolitics

excerpts:

"After Trump announced the order on Twitter, his campaign bombarded supporters with text messages and email alerts informing them of the decision and touting it as a prime example of Trump's "America First" approach. The President's newly installed press secretary issued a statement saying the move reflected Trump's commitment to "protecting the health and economic well-being of American citizens," without explaining who would be affected by the order, what it was limiting or when it might be signed. Later, she wrote that Democrats had "betrayed" the "hard-working Americans President @RealDonaldTrump is putting first.

The pre-buttals also reflected another reality: The final executive order may not stop all immigrant workers from entering the country. Already, administration officials have advised agricultural groups that seasonal farm workers won't be affected."


""I think it is another diversion. The agencies don't even know what it is," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, on CNN's "New Day." "No one knows what it is. Last -- yesterday, the day before, we were talking about WHO. I think the President ought to stop these diversions."

A trio of Republican lawmakers met with Trump at the White House on Tuesday, where the executive order was discussed, among other topics. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida appeared to suggest the executive order was not yet complete."

 

Trump's immigration ban raises plenty of questions. Here's what we know.
Any order could be a far-reaching change to policy — or simply formalize what is already a de facto pause on immigration during the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump's immigration ban raises big questions. Here's what we know.

excerpts:

"Is it about politics?

Trump has repeatedly leaned into the issue of immigration to fire up his base. Building a wall and barring entry for Muslims were central 2016 campaign planks. It is a powerful issue for the older, white and evangelical voters at the heart of his coalition. On Tuesday, Trump's re-election campaign sent an email to supporters promoting the tweet and saying their "input is crucial to the President's next steps."

But overall, the U.S. isn't sold on Trump's immigration vision. Polls show that Americans oppose the wall and are split on the restrictions on travel from majority-Muslim nations. A recent YouGov survey found the U.S. evenly divided, with 46 percent approving of the president's handling of immigration and 46 percent disapproving."


"Could this affect the battle against COVID-19?

That depends on the details of the order, but it's possible.

The U.S. relies on immigrant labor for its food supply chain and to care for its elderly and disabled population. More than one-fourth of doctors in the U.S. are foreign-born, according to a study of census data.

In addition, about 4,000 foreign-born doctors on J-1 visas are expected to begin residency programs in the U.S. starting July 1, Siskind said. White House officials didn't comment when asked whether they would be exempt."

 

The Trump administration should have thought through these issues before rolling out another immigration ban and sending a blanket email to his base to try to garner knee-jerk reaction support.

 

Late to the facts AGAIN. No surprise. It's a bitch when REAL FACTS come back to haunt the deniers.

I'm 100% amazed that both parties haven't been / aren't chastising Trump for his defense of, and trust in, Putin. Xi, and KJU. 3 Commies. But the Repubs make a big deal out of the commie military threat from ……………………………... wait for it ……………………............…. Cuba !!!!! Yes Cuba - that gigantic, world dominating, military powerhouse ……………… Cuba.

Don't know who's been reading REAL news lately, but Russia and China again supported each other in the corona virus battle and agreed to share research knowledge - which China said it WILL NOT SHARE with the U.S. You know …………… Trump's ole' buddy, Xi Jinping. Very trustworthy by Trump's own words. - And HE'S a GENIUS, so he can't be wrong!!!

COMMUNIST Russia and COMMUNIST China working together on anything. I can see WW 3 coming with how both countries have been annexing and claiming waters and land they have no right to by international law. And the U.S. has the most stable genius in charge of our military, while F-ing up the virus response and fighting with the medical experts, trashing the FBI, CIA, NSA, and all our other intelligence agencies, too. IMO - we've never been more vulnerable.

 

Consoler-in-chief? Lacking empathy, Trump weighs the economic costs, not the human ones

Consoler-in-chief? Lacking empathy, Trump weighs the economic costs, not the human ones

excerpt:

"Trump often makes reference in his daily press briefings to the death toll in the US, which at about 45,000 represents about one-quarter of coronavirus deaths worldwide. But apart from some narrowly scripted remarks delivered in an uninterested monotone, Trump fails, day after day, to deliver expressions of sympathy for the loss of life, which remains on a grim trajectory. Instead his press briefings are more marked by attacks on opponents, whether Democrats, the media, China or the World Health Organization.

“He makes attempts at it usually when he’s reading prepared remarks, then he makes attempts at [empathy],” said Elaine Kamarck, founding director of the Center for Effective Public Management at the Brookings Institution. “But frankly, he’s not very good at it, and he can’t sustain it. The minute he goes off script, he’s back to that pile of accusations, insecurities, false statements, and attacks.”"

 

This one is really dumb

Why would you let people in the country at this time anyway

 

Economic costs = Human Costs

 

Wow, I said it didn't I, a couple pages back

You lefties will end up blaming him for the cost of the lockdowns

Wah wah wah, everybody has to stay inside and not work so I don't get the Chyna virus

A couple months ( in your case days) later

Wah wah wah, Trump sent the country broke making everybody stay inside and not work so I didn't get Chyna virus wah wah wah

Oh
my
God!

 

Reports a bit light on the details so far though

 

The whole world is a melting pot of people. The U.S. is ALL immigrants - except for native Americans (Indians). You can't isolate people possessing only certain genetics with walls and fences. Who was the last one to try and accomplish that genetic, racial purity …………………………………………. oh, yeah - Adolph Hitler.

If we removed all the foreign-born doctors from the U.S. - boy we'd be in a desperate situation. One of the very top surgeons from my home town was Japanese. The man was highly respected and also served as team physician for school sports teams. BAAAAAAD immigrant.

 

that dumb motherfucker just ordered the US Navy to shoot down any Iranian speedboats. How the fuck do you shoot down a boat?

 

Same way you man the airfields during the revolutionary war?


Just a guess.

 

It's a long-running cartoon.
