The Donald Trump Score Card

Lady Graham needs to see that one. Chuck Schumer is one pissed off dude today.

 

I agree the Taiwan situation is playing a role in the decision making, as for “the people” I think you’re giving them too much credit.

 

Oi Vey

200,000 deaths from January to September, 8 months

But 400,000 more in the next 3 months

Sounds accurate


Facepalm

 

He (POTUS) will be landing in town here in about an hour. A buddy of mine told me there’s thousands of folks there at the airport waiting right now. Smh.......

You need to go back to school and bone up on some more math. The rate of spread is demonstrated pursuant conversion into a mathematical formula. The rate of spread is not flat or lineal as you have surmised.

 

At one point, Trump thought the U.S. death toll would be under 60,000. He wasn't sure how to respond when it reached 100,000 about a month later.

Trump's stock response has been to finally acknowledge the death toll and then to make an unsubstantiated claim that his travel restriction on China saved the U.S. from 25 times more deaths. He apparently was relying on an early worst-case model from Imperial College that predicted what would happen if the entire population in the U.S. behaved like his supporters.

Trump, downplaying deaths, once claimed US would never see 100,000 milestone

excerpt:

"Roughly a month ago, Trump, at a White House task force briefing, said, "It looks like we'll be at about a 60,000 mark, which is 40,000 less than the lowest number thought of.""

 

Research group Trump administration previously touted releases dire COVID-19 death toll projections
There could be 400,000 additional coronavirus deaths this year in the United States, according to one forecast model.

Dire COVID-19 death toll projections from researchers Trump administration touted

excerpt:

"The death toll in the U.S., which is currently around 188,000, could more than double to over 400,000 by Jan. 1, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine is forecasting.

And that’s not even the “worst case” scenario the IHME laid out in its sobering report. In that model, four million people would die worldwide and over 620,000 perish in the U.S. from COVID-19, the researchers concluded.

In the “best case” scenario, two million people will be dead across the globe by the end of the year and there will be anywhere from 257,286 to 327,775 COVID-19 fatalities in the U.S.

"The worst is yet to come," IHME Director Dr. Christopher Murray warned on a call with reporters Friday.

“We are facing the prospect of a deadly December, especially in Europe, Central Asia, and the United States,” Murray said in a statement released earlier. “But the science is clear and the evidence irrefutable: mask-wearing, social distancing, and limits to social gatherings are vital to helping prevent transmission of the virus.”"

 

Careful... VG is going to point out that you used the word "math" instead of the word "maths" which in his mind means what you said is null and void. Thus he will think he is winning the internets.

 

Wow.....
I’m wondering if this is staged, as I find it hard to believe anything being the truth coming from the WH. If it is true, this is only the beginning of more shit to come.

Trump mocks MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi getting shot with rubber bullet - CNN

excerpt:

"President Donald Trump on Friday mocked an American news anchor for being shot with a rubber bullet during George Floyd protests in May, calling it a "beautiful sight" during a political rally in Minnesota.

While speaking of the protests against racial injustice that swept the country earlier this year, Trump recalled the moment that police fired on MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi and his crew as they were reporting from Minneapolis.

"I remember this guy Velshi," Trump said. "He got hit in the knee with a canister of tear gas and he went down. He was down. 'My knee, my knee.' Nobody cared, these guys didn't care, they moved him aside."

"And they just walked right through. It was the most beautiful thing," Trump said. "No, because after we take all that crap for weeks and weeks, and you finally see men get up there and go right through them, wasn't it really a beautiful sight? It's called law and order.""

 

So much winning!

Trump bragged to author Bob Woodward that he protected Saudi crown prince after 2018 assassination of Khashoggi.

Trump boasted he protected MBS after Khashoggi hit: Report

excerpts:

""I saved his a**," President Trump said about the US outcry about Khashoggi's killing, according to Business Insider, quoting from a copy of Woodward's book.

"I was able to get Congress to leave him alone. I was able to get them to stop," Trump said."


"The president told Woodward he did not believe that MBS had ordered Khashoggi's murder, although US and other foreign intelligence services have reportedly concluded that MBS directed the killing.

After Khashoggi's death set off outrage among US legislators from both parties, Trump bypassed Congress to sell roughly $8bn in precision-guided missiles and other high-tech weapons to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Trump vetoed three resolutions passed by Congress rebuking him for the sale and blocked a War Powers Act resolution to end US military support for the UAE-and-Saudi-led war in Yemen."

 

Lindsey Graham blames Ginsburg replacement vote hypocrisy on Democrats’ treatment of Kavanaugh

Lindsey Graham blames Ginsburg replacement vote hypocrisy on Democrats’ treatment of Kavanaugh

excerpt:

"Faced with a flood of criticism over his apparent hypocrisy after saying in 2016 he would hold a Republican president to the same standard he did former President Barack Obama, Graham fired off a tweetstorm intended to deflect criticism.

Writing, “The two biggest changes regarding the Senate and judicial confirmations that have occurred in the last decade have come from Democrats, ” the South Carolina Republican who is in a tight re-election race added, “Harry Reid changed the rules to allow a simple majority vote for Circuit Court nominees dealing out the minority” and “Chuck Schumer and his friends in the liberal media conspired to destroy the life of Brett Kavanaugh and hold that Supreme Court seat open.”"

 

Ted Cruz, who is on Trump's list of potential nominees for the Supreme Court, was on Fox with Hannity not even two hours after Ginsburg's death was announced.

 

These guys are ecstatic that Ginsburg died...

Does anybody realize how absolutely sick that is? These people have no morals at all...

 

In 2017 McConnell, not Harry Reid, was the one who added Supreme Court justices to the list of who could be confirmed by a simple majority in the Senate. Years earlier, McConnell was saying he was against it (the nuclear option) when he was minority leader during part of the Obama era but changed his mind later he became majority leader.

Harry Reid changed the rule in 2013 so that a simple majority could confirm Circuit Court judges (not Supreme Court justices). But Graham already knew that in 2016 when he made his remarks about how he thought that Republicans (when a Republican is president in an election year) should voluntarily allow a Democratic winner of the upcoming presidential election to later nominate a person for a Supreme Court vacancy, in light of the fact that Republicans at the time were blocking Obama's nomination of Garland to the Supreme Court in 2016.

Graham knows full well that battles can rage over a Supreme Court nominee when he made his statements in 2016. The Anita Hill allegation against Clarence Thomas that occurred in 1991 is an example. Battles like those that occurred over Kavanaugh are expected.

To try to cover his hypocrisy, Graham is simply proffering hapless excuses related to the simple majority vote (that McConnell, not Reid, invoked for Supreme Court nominees) and battles like those over Kavanaugh that he already knew could happen.
