Not directly related to Trump, but where did Fox News dig up this airhead from?

Rather have managed isolation here in NZ than a runaway virus in the US, of all places - thought that was meant to be "the best country in the world"?

That's a requirement for being a Fox News presenter and Trump press secretary isn't it?

 

 

A few months ago they were saying that NZ was throwing people into concentration camps for talking about the Christchurch shooter.

 

 

In any case I think it's a good thing if Fox News viewers get scared away from NZ. Would you want the sort of person who believes Fox to come to New Zealand?

I think you'll find the right word is loathing..

 

 

That's the weirdest form of a noun. Doesn't sound right when substituted but hey I learnt something!

Grifters are gonna grift... "Wisconsin Republican Party says hackers stole $2.3 million"

 

 

Hackers have stolen $2.3 million from the Wisconsin Republican Party’s account that was being used to help reelect President Donald Trump in the key battleground state, the party’s chairman told The Associated Press on Thursday.

 

The attack was discovered less than two weeks before Election Day, as both Trump and Democratic rival Joe Biden made their final push to win Wisconsin and its 10 electoral votes. Trump won the state by fewer than 23,000 votes in 2016 and planned his third visit in seven days on Friday

The Washington Post - Opinions - Alan Alda: Trump rejects science and endangers lives

 

Alan Alda is an actor and writer

 

today (extract)

 


Trump’s deceitful assurances that covid-19 is nothing to worry about have laid untold dead at the feet of this president. 

 

And now, his administration is flirting with a policy to achieve “herd immunity” by following a theory put forth in a statement known as the Great Barrington Declaration that calls for deliberately allowing the less vulnerable among us to become infected while somehow protecting the more vulnerable. 

 

The authors call this “focused protection.” 

 

This is decidedly a minority view, and it has been excoriated by the world’s leading infectious-disease experts.

 

But the Trump administration seems willing to let a few hundred thousand people die and hope for the best.

 

Trump once said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue without consequences. 

 

At this moment, we are all on Fifth Avenue. ...

Kushner...

In a taped interview on April 18, Kushner told legendary journalist Bob Woodward that Trump was "getting the country back from the doctors" in what he called a "negotiated settlement." Kushner also proclaimed that the US was moving swiftly through the "panic phase" and "pain phase" of the pandemic and that the country was at the "beginning of the comeback phase." "That doesn't mean there's not still a lot of pain and there won't be pain for a while, but that basically was, we've now put out rules to get back to work," Kushner said. "Trump's now back in charge. It's not the doctors."

 

...is a f****** moron.

The Washington Post - Business - As pandemic raged and thousands died, government regulators cleared most nursing homes of infection-control violations

 

breaking  (a short extract from a long report)

 


Despite promises of ‘aggressive enforcement,’ over 40,000 residents died in homes that received a clean bill of health ...

 

Government inspectors deployed during the first six months of the crisis cleared nearly 8 in 10 nursing homes of any infection-control violations even as the deadliest pandemic to strike the United States in a century sickened and killed thousands, a Washington Post investigation found.

 

Those cleared included homes with mounting coronavirus outbreaks before or during the inspections, as well as those that saw cases and deaths spiral upward after inspectors reported no violations had been found, in some cases multiple times. 

 

All told, homes that received a clean bill of health earlier this year had about 290,000 coronavirus cases and 43,000 deaths among residents and staff, state and federal data shows.

 

That death toll constitutes roughly two-thirds of all covid-19 fatalities linked to nursing homes from March through August. ...

 

 

 

 

Comment: Interesting that this is reported under "Business".  😕

11 out of 13. I knew the other two, I just didn't think them through. I was thinking Microsoft Windows not real ones. (!)

neb: Just saw an interesting link to a writeup Could American Evangelicals Spot the Antichrist?, which points out all the biblical references to Trump (assuming you go for that sort of thing). The answer to the question asked in the writeup is, obviously, "no way".

 

Hilarious, but obviously not 100% accurate. There's no biblical reference to the Anti-Christ's fondness for golden showers.





Trump crowned? No faux King way!
