Fox News' Brit Hume Face-Mask Shames Joe Biden; Twitter Goes Bonkers

Apparently the cool factor trumps the nearly 100,000 dead in America from COVID-19.

www.huffpost.com

Fox News commentator Brit Hume on Monday tried to face-mask shame Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden. He indicated that Biden doesn’t look good wearing one ― as if that’s more important than any safety considerations about spreading a virus that has killed nearly 100,000 Americans.

“This might help explain why Trump doesn’t like to wear a mask in public,” wrote Hume, who posted a photo on Twitter of a masked Biden from Agence France-Presse.

There is a difference between a political party it's members and its supporters.

This is just next level stupid.

People not happy with the ANC should leave the ANC or change it from within. Not make political adds criticising the democratically elected leader just because their faction lost.
Go to the DA then.

I don't claim to be an ANC supporter whilst not supporting it.

And this has been going on in America since forever. Its not a Trump thing.

But as things stand today. Trump is not the nominee....

As an economist I've been at these "V-shaped" recovery forecasts after corona for a while now. It's complete madness. Anyone can save this post for future reference in November. A V-shaped recovery is not on the cards.

Ja, no. There's absolutely no argument for a quick recovery. That's just wishful thinking.

The politics though is interesting because in a case of Trump vs Bidden who would you choose.
I don't think any rational person blames Trump for the downturn. Everyone knows it's the lockdowns and he has been on open up for a while. The Dems are for hard lockdown.

Trump is definitely more business friendly.

It's like... It's like these folk have completely overlooked that a booming economy requires folk to happily go out and spend like they were before Covid.

No dead Americans.

No 40M unemployed.

No closed businesses.

No second or third wave.

Happily go out..?

It's worse than madness or rietrot's "wishful thinking"... It's magical thinking.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch Editorial Exposes Trump's 'Colossal' Lie About Obama

The newspaper's editorial board just wiped out Trump's favorite talking point.

www.huffpost.com

President Donald Trump has repeatedly blamed former President Barack Obama for his own administration’s mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic.
“The last administration left us nothing,” Trump said last month.
But the St. Louis Post-Dispatch found that Trump’s own budget documents show the opposite ― exposing what it called “a lie of colossal Trumpian proportions.”

The newspaper’s editorial board said the Trump administration told Congress that the Obama administration left it with everything needed for a pandemic ― and sought big budget cuts from the programs as a result.
Trump’s 2020 budget asked Congress to cut the pandemic preparedness budget by $102.9 million, part of $595.5 million in requested cuts to public health preparedness and response outlay.
“Obama left office with an unblemished record of building up the nation’s pandemic preparedness,” the newspaper said. “Trump systematically sought to dismantle it.”

Trump has since blamed his predecessor for lack of personal protective equipment and testing supplies, saying “our cupboards were bare. We had very little in our stockpile.”
But the newspaper said a chart provided by the Trump administration with the budget shows that by 2016 ― Obama’s final year in office ― the nation’s public health emergency preparedness was at least 98% on every key measure.
“That’s by the Trump administration’s own assessment,” the Post-Dispatch said. “If the cupboard was bare, it’s because Trump swept it clean.”

Obama slams Trump administration's leadership amid coronavirus pandemic

“A lot of them aren’t even pretending to be in charge,” former President Barack Obama said an during the first of two online commencement ceremonies Saturday.

My fok but the point just keeps on missing you, you're like the little train that could, but doesn't quite make it. Perhaps your IQ just isn't up to the task.

I suggest you refrain from getting into debates in which you can't quite comprehend the nuances of.

Operation Hunger put on a festival at Ellis Park... They called it the Concert in the Park.

Personally, I was there for Rene, Spider and Lukas of Via Afrika, Heather of EllaMental, Lucien and Erik of eVoid and Johnny, 'tho there were plenty more acts on the day.

Operation Hunger sold 100 000 tickets and raised half a million.

Behold!

The pro-life party who care about embryos but people, not so much.

Oh, nearly forgot.

Meet Sally Jane Rowley.

Sally lived in San Francisco and made jewellery for a living. She died, aged 88, from the virus on May 14th. Her family had to say their goodbyes through a window.

The mugshot you say?

Well, that's from her arrest in Jackson, Mississippi in 1961... You see, Sally was a Freedom Rider.

Haha, you are so transparent. It is now obvious "decent people" like you only care about human life when it suits their partisan douchebaggery. Killing unborn humans and humans lost to a virus are both pretty bad for the human race. But here you are, only caring for the dead humans that suits your particular partisan agenda.. The "decent people" .

Bwahahaha you're still not getting it

It is you who is missing the point over and over and over. You laugh your head of thinking you're scoring a goal but the only thing you are doing is looking like an idiot who keeps on missing the point. All you do is go on about getting owned which I couldn't really care about.

You are muppet with minimal grasp of nuance, who couldn't follow logic or a trail of thought if it hit you in the face with a cricket bat. You went way of track ages ago and have forever since been patting yourself on the back for failed retarded logic. Yeah you're winning alright, winning a trip into the category of the mentally slow on MyBB.

Well, I'm not the one who was triggered by the Johnny post, and who figured the best possible response would be a partisan 'muh abortion' deflection.

I guess this is the best possible response when you have been unmasked as a person that uses the deaths of people due to a virus to push his own partisan idiocy.

I guess it's because 100 000 dead Americans is the equivalent of nearly two Vietnam wars... or nearly three Korean wars... or more than twenty Iraq wars... or thirty-three September elevens... or forty-one Pearl Harbours... or twenty-five thousand Benghazis.

Oh, nearly forgot.

Me, every time some folk post "decent":

Here's the *real* reason Donald Trump is attacking mail-in ballots

On Tuesday morning, Donald Trump tweeted this:

www.cnn.com

Trump has never, ever, not ever admitted he has lost anything. In the face of multiple bankruptcies because of poor decisions he made with his businesses, he insisted he was flush with cash and was outsmarting everyone. When a business deal went south and Trump clearly got the worst of it, he would declare victory to anyone who asked -- and to lots of people who didn't. When he lost the Iowa caucuses to Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) in 2016, he tweeted this: "Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa, he stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!"

Notice the pattern? This is a man who cannot accept losing in any way, shape or form. And when faced with defeat or setback, he insists that the rules were broken, that something nefarious happened -- although he never says exactly what.

Which brings us back to Trump's attacks on mail-in balloting in the November election. What he's doing is simple: Laying the groundwork to never admit defeat if he winds up losing to former Vice President Joe Biden in the fall.
If Trump does lose, he will insist that it was not the result of voters choosing Biden over him but rather a function of those cheating Democrats and their "rigged" mail-in ballot scheme -- because Donald Trump doesn't lose. And the only way he could lose is if he was cheated in some way.

As Trump Attacks California Mail-In Voting, It Isn’t About Fraud —It’s About Fear

Why is President Trump so focused on the issue of mail-in ballots? The answer may not be surprising, but it is troubling.

www.forbes.com

 

[greg0205]

As a candidate in the 2020 primaries, his pitch was overwhelmingly about electability; his policy profile was defined primarily by the things he wouldn’t embrace. Left-wing journalists and activists criticized his opposition to sweeping proposals from Sen. Bernie Sanders like Medicare-for-all or the Green New Deal. Biden argued that the plans were implausible to make real and that he would take a more pragmatic approach — frustrating proponents of a “political revolution” or Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s “big structural change.”

That conflict between what the left wants and what Biden wouldn’t give them became the dominant narrative about him in the mainstream press. Biden was defined by the things he was against, rather than by the substantial overlap between his policy ideas and those of his progressive critics. Biden is a mainstream Democrat, and as the Democratic Party has grown broadly more progressive in recent years, he is now running on arguably the most progressive policy platform of any Democratic nominee in history.

It’s a detailed and aggressive agenda that includes doubling the minimum wage and tripling funding for schools with low-income students. He is proposing the most sweeping overhaul of immigration policy in a generation, the biggest pro-union push in three generations, and the most ambitious environmental agenda of all time.

Go on, I'm listening...

Joe Biden has a plan for that

Not a joke, folks: He’s running on a transformative policy agenda.

Not quite as many as those that died due to voluntary in utero killing but hey, it doesn't suit the "decent folk's" partisan douchebaggery. To the "decent folk" dead humans only count if they suit their agenda. Meanwhile, deplorables think dead people due to voluntary in utero killing and people dying due to viruses are pretty bad. Could the Trumptard have done more to stop both? Sure. Then again, only fools will put any trust in plutocrats/politicians.
