    What do you think about the President holding campaign rallies without masks or social distancing?

    ( yes... folks were dumb to protest without wearing masks)

    There were also thousands attending BLM protests in Europe. 20k alone in Berlin. I don’t think they saw the huge surge we are seeing.

    instead of blindly blaming blm, if data hold that blm doesn’t contribute to spread, that’s good news and data for re-opening. Mask+outdoor might be safe

    In the meantime. chase shows strong correlation between in-person credit card swipe and rise in number of cases


    Ps most of the protests I saw were wearing masks

    the virus had already come and gone there. Not a relevant comparison.

    Almost all of these cases are in Democrat-governed cities and counties. Harris, Dallas, Bexar, Tarrant, Travis, Hidalgo, Galveston... Yet somehow this is the Republicans' fault. The left's logic is a total joke! People need to quit tip-toeing around their ignorance and call it out for what it is. It's really ruining the country.

    Except none of the data and research bares out what you are saying. When did forbes, the money and business magazine, become a cover for the DNC and Socialism?

    And you can google BLM protest and pick any picture and most of the people are wearing mask. Are the ones protesting to go to church wearing masks? If you can show me any picture of that....

    Hadn’t seen you in a while. I guess they had to fix the modem in the basement.

    Toronto Canada had BLM protests and still have the coronavirus under control.

    Difference is Trudeau knows what he's doing and cares about saving lives. Trump is an imbecile.

    You can't be serious. Abbott's reopening phases never met guidelines. His p***y footing around any real measures was a joke. Slap on the wrist, no real enforcement, and a refusal to allow absentee voting during a pandemic. The only 4 governor's that callous are all Republicans. The ones that scoff at masks are Republicans.

    They could care less about the spread. It's all about pleasing Trump. What kind of moron hosts a state convention indoors in Houston as our cases skyrocket? If Abbott demands schools open up, and keeps allowing indoor dining at bars and restaurants then the pandemic won't go away.

    Oh, how I wish everyone could vote by mail for this election. It’s the correct, humane thing to do. Which is why Trump and his administration are trying to block it at all costs. The Republican-led Supreme Court rejected a request to expedite the case concerning mail-in-voting in Texas so that it would be heard prior to the November election.

    Changing the subject are you. Cause you know I’m right. Notice how you have no rebuttal. I destroyed your argument.

    Yeah, but he didn't dismiss it as fake news nor willfully ignore any mention of it.
    Instead, he apologized sincerely for it, and then left it to the people to decide whether to forgive.
    Like a grownup would.

    He only apologized after the pictures were leaked. He had two decades to apologize, yet only did it when he was forced to. Sorry that’s not cool.

    Your guy never apologizes for all the misogynistic and racist crap he's put out through the years, even if they come to light.
    That's beyond uncool.
