"comments taken wildly out of context..."

You mean having the interview played in its entirety?!

Peter Navarro needs his lie detector turned on, so he can figure out the truth.

So far in Kentucky the longest line anybody has reported was an hour, though that was in the rain.

They've received more mail-in ballots than total votes were cast in any of the last few primaries, which is promising.

Contrary to what Ward will say, that doesn't mean that votes were not suppressed by the loss of so many polling places, merely that enough people were motivated to vote, anyway, to boost the total.

Washington kept hundreds of slaves.
When will the Washington monument be demolished?

Trump lies.  A lot.  But here when asked a direct question on slowing down testing, he skirts it:

https://twitter.com/JoeStGeorge/status/1275095209240604673

Why does he not just lie and repeat the campaign line that he was joking or say what Pence said, that he was just making  a"passing observation" whatever the fuck that means?

No, I think he doesn't contradict what he said in the rally because he is actually on a certain level proud of a decision that makes total sense to him; if we do too much testing it makes us look bad because the numbers go up, so, he slowed it down.  Totally logical.

And note he still doesn't get that the issue is transmission.  Yes, when someone who is asymptomatic is tested positive, it is not significant because they might get sick and die.  It is significant because now that person knows not to pass it on to other people.

So simple, yet our "president" is one giant doofus child, and simple concepts pass over his head.  Incredibly stupid, and totally self-involved.  And the rest of the country is left to suffer.

When asked today if he was joking about slowing down testing, Trump said "I don't kid."  He is standing behind this.  Standing behind actions that led to the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans.

Also, hopefully someone will be sure to be remind him of this the next time he excuses his racism/treason/ignorance with "I was just joking."

No its a stupid question aimed at drawing a false equivalence and ignoring or not understanding the difference between slave-owning founding fathers of this country who fought for this country and slave-owning racist confederate generals who tried to destroy this country and who wanted to perpetuate slavery.

Your objective viewpoint is duly noted and given appropriate consideration.

A fair question would be, "In light of Washington's having owned slaves, should there continue to be monuments and statues dedicated to him?"

So why is Trump lying, kiidcarter8?

And why should testing be considered a "double-edged sword?"
