    U.S. farmers were already hit hard by Trump's trade wars.

    They were also struck by floods, which some Trump supporters are denying happened or are blaming on the farmers themselves for not using better land.

    Coronavirus hits already struggling US farmers: 'We've stopped saying it can't get worse'

    excerpt:

    "U.S. farmers have endured a slew of financial hardships over the past few years.

    The U.S.-China trade war sent scores of farmers out of business. Record flooding inundated farmland and destroyed harvests. And a blistering heat wave stunted crop growth in the Midwest.

    Now, the coronavirus pandemic has dealt another blow to a vulnerable farm economy, sending crop and livestock prices tumbling and raising concerns about sudden labor shortages.

    "We were already under extreme financial pressure. With the virus sending the prices down — it's getting to be the straw that broke the camel's back," said Iowa farmer Robb Ewoldt."

    Trump:

    "Leadership: Whatever happens, you're responsible. If it doesn't happen, you're responsible."

    Azar is Secretary of Health and Human Services, a cabinet level position, and he's been absent during the deadly pandemic after Trump replaced his public appearances at the White House with Pence...



    Trump reportedly dismissed January coronavirus warnings from Health Secretary Alex Azar as 'alarmist'

    Trump reportedly dismissed January coronavirus warnings from Health Secretary Alex Azar as 'alarmist'

    excerpt:

    "By mid-February he was claiming that the virus would be gone by April, and at a campaign rally in South Carolina on February 28 described the coronavirus as the Democrats' "new hoax."

    It was a lack of urgency from the White House, the failure to formulate a coherent chain of command and bureaucratic delays that meant that the US was unable to formulate a mass testing program in the early weeks of the outbreak to effectively track and isolate it, according to critics.

    It was only in March — more than two months after being briefed by Azar — that Trump finally realised the scale of the problem facing his administration, and that his legacy would be defined by his response, according to the Post."

    Putin no longer seems like the shirtless warrior on horseback galloping through the Russian countryside.

    Like the U.S., the virus is riding through a country that once thought that it was protected..



    Putin's Bleak COVID-19 Admission: 'We Don't Have Much to Brag About'

    Putin's Bleak COVID-19 Admission: 'We Don't Have Much to Brag About'

    excerpt:

    "There was talk that Putin’s early move to shut down most travel from China, along with an extensive testing and contact-tracing effort rooted in the Soviet Union’s disease-fighting legacy, was succeeding where Italy, Spain and the United States all had failed.

    So confident was the Kremlin that it dispatched planeloads of aid to Italy, Serbia and even Kennedy Airport in New York, signaling that Russia had stockpiled so many masks and ventilators that it was able to share some of them with less fortunate countries.

    But it has become clear in recent days that Russia is unlikely to escape a severe hit by the pandemic, presenting an existential test to the country’s teetering health system and a new challenge to the aura of rising confidence and competence projected by Putin’s Kremlin.

    “We have a lot of problems, and we don’t have much to brag about nor reason to, and we certainly can’t relax,” Putin told senior officials Monday in his bleakest comments on the crisis yet. “We are not past the peak of the epidemic, not even in Moscow.”"

    Same people were very concerned their grandpa would be forced to die on the "Obama death panel". Anyone remember those? All the socialist counties have them even though they had no examples. You are just a stupid liberal it's how they do in Europe they said.

    The idea being the mean black man's healthcare plan would force old people to die because it's just too much money to save them. Funny how when it's the 1% loosing too much money it's fine and patriotic to die.

    All the right's wing's morals are gone. They don't worship Jesus they worship the $.

    I think if the average Trump voter knew him personally they would change their tune. Usually people with his issues are very charming. People who see him from afar or causally know him think he's the best thing ever. The abuse is reserved for people close to him. Same idea as an abusive boyfriend. You don't get hit in public he is too busy being the life of the party so people kind of don't believe you.

    How many problems has he had with employees and it's never his fault of course? I guess he ignored all the HR experts who will say if you can't keep staff you are a poor manager.

    I wonder if he knows Captain Bligh was considered an "an overbearing tyrant" and was the villian.

    Trump voters cheered this too. Have you seen the movie? The body his head is on is not a good guy. He's the kind Captain America fights. So who are you really trying to make great?

    Thanos creator complains over Trump campaign tweet

    A doctored Avengers film clip showed Mr Trump's head on Thanos's body.

    It then showed him declare his re-election in 2020 "inevitable", clicking his fingers to wipe out his political opponents in the process.

    "After my initial feeling of being violated, seeing that pompous fool using my creation to stroke his infantile ego, it finally struck me that the leader of my country and the free world actually enjoys comparing himself to a mass murderer," said Jim Starlin, who introduced Thanos in the 1970s.

    "How sick is that? These are sad and strange times we are going through. Fortunately, all things, even national nightmares, eventually come to an end," he told The Hollywood Reporter.

    Starlin originally came up with supervillain in 1973, when he made his first appearance in The Invincible Iron Man book story.

    A very interesting interview. I believe many of you would do well to listen to this. Perhaps try to keep an open mind?

    Fuaci is being worn out by Trump's lengthy campaign rallies.


    Fauci: Trump coronavirus briefings are 'really draining'
    "It isn’t the idea of being there and answering questions, which I really think is important for the American public," he said. "It’s the amount of time."

    Fauci: Trump coronavirus briefings are 'really draining'

    excerpt:

    "Fauci said his public role is important but conceded that the duration of those briefings — Monday’s ran for nearly two-and-a-half hours — was "really draining" and that doesn’t even count preparation and waiting for it to start.

    "If I had been able to just make a few comments and then go to work, that would have really been much better," he said. "It isn’t the idea of being there and answering questions, which I really think is important for the American public. It’s the amount of time."

    But I'm sure he and all the other midwest farm community will STILL vote for him.

    I think for a good number of his lemmings, it's like Trump said himself: "I could go into Times Square and shoot someone and I wouldn't lose votes." How sad for such gullible, unthinking lemmings.
