After Trump finished speaking, a person familiar told CNN that two Secret Service agents had also tested positive for coronavirus.

And apparently, Mr. Trump denied having fired Mr. Berman, which means that Barr lied again about this.

As for Tulsa, the city officials can't go anywhere, so were responsible.  The fact that Trump staffers got infected was a real red flag how dangerous and stupid this was.  Hopefully Trump campaign had attendees fill out pledge cards or got their names/info when folks got tickets, because contact tracing will be needed.  Even if it wasn't filled, there were still over 10K in an arena for over 2 hours.  And these are people too stupid and macho to wear face masks.

I saw it mentioned that this was largest public gathering in the world in the past 3 or 4 months.  A completely unnecessary super-spreader trial run campaign rally.

And not just 10,000, or 10,000 overwhelmingly maskless individuals, but 10,000 maskless individuals crammed in together in tight quarters and shouting their heads off! If anybody was sick, a lot of people are going to be sick.

It's great that they checked temperatures of folks on the way in, but even forgetting that asymptomatic folks can be contagious, especially when shouting and talking loudly, for the really passionate Trump fan who has a ticket to this unique opportunity, a couple ibuprofen and you are good to go for the temperature check! And since this is all fake, anyway, why wouldn't you do that?

(And Trump's claiming he wanted folks to wear masks if they felt like it was a tad too little, too late, after he accused folks of wearing masks to make fun of him.)

Fox News caught doctoring photographs to make protesters look violent

They apologized.

Cap, got any examples of any other network doing this? Not merely making a claim they could not substantiate, but explicitly altering items to change what the news looks like?

They really ought to lose their license for this kind of crap.

Tell me more about those one or two bad apples.

Tell me about how we should have faith in the system when the police, themselves, do not.

"and I told my people, STOP THE TESTING"

Ignorance may be bliss, but he's killing people with his ignorance.

And the morons cheer his misplaced bravado

And then his folks tried to explain that "obviously he was joking."

Trump just days ago:

“We've never had an empty seat, and we certainly won't in Oklahoma."

Trump's AG has decided that the SCOTUS anti-discrimination ruling (6-3) does not apply to sports and excluding transwomen from college sports is fine.

I am sure they want to be back with SCOTUS.

Tulsa Fascist Rally a bust while Trump openly admits he suppressed testing in order to keep COVID numbers low, in other words, to make their lack of a response look better politically.

Uh yeah...USA!

OMG. What an idiotic thing to say, let alone do:

Trump on Covid-19 testing: “I said to my people — slow the testing down please”

The campaign tries to make it better:

After Trump made the comment about testing, an administration official told CNN that the president was "obviously kidding" when he said that he asked for a slowdown.

As President Trump spoke about the coronavirus and media coverage of it during his Saturday rally, he referred to the virus with a racist term "kung flu," while complaining about the amount of names for the virus.

"It's a disease, without question, has more names than any disease in history, " he said. "I can name 'kung flu,' I can name 19 different versions of name. Many call it a virus, which it is. Many call it a flu. What difference? I think we have 19, 20 different versions of the name."

This is the man you continue to support and believe in, this racist piece of shit.

Supporting the racist instead of speaking out against him is part of how you have earned the label, yourselves.
