The crux:


"So, instead of 25 million tests, let's say we did 10 million tests. We'd look like we were doing much better because we'd have far fewer cases. You understand that," Trump told CBN. "I wouldn't do that, but I will say this: We do so much more than other countries it makes us, in a way, look bad but actually we're doing the right thing."

Speaking of lies...

News Item.
ESPN

A rope found in the garage stall of Black driver Bubba Wallace at the NASCAR race Sunday was a garage door pull, not a noose, and had been there since 2019, federal authorities and NASCAR said Tuesday.
Northern District of Alabama U.S. Attorney Jay Town on Monday announced his office had launched an investigation along with the FBI and the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division. Town said they were looking to see whether there are violations of federal law. No federal crime was committed, his office said.

The FBI learned that garage number 4, where the noose was found, was assigned to Bubba Wallace last week. The investigation also revealed evidence, including authentic video confirmed by NASCAR, that the noose found in garage number 4 was in that garage as early as October 2019. Although the noose is now known to have been in garage number 4 in 2019, nobody could have known Mr. Wallace would be assigned to garage number 4 last week.

Trump demanded prison sentences for 'disgraceful vandalism,' also considers Jackson his favorite president...   

Wow.   Let that last bit sink in.   Andrew Jackson.    Good God,  is this some newer, more shrill dogwhistle?   The president who's trying to convince PoC that he's their man picks Andrew Genocide Jackson as fave.

Yeah.
He has a portrait of Jackson in the office.

Just to clarify:  the metric for a pandemic's effect is HOSPITALIZATIONS,  and not positive tests.   



Thanks, Papi

Ward's ESPN quote matches the NASCAR official press release.   Well,  I'm glad that guy wasn't targeted after all.   Is weird,  though... I've owned several old garages with rope or belt pulls and none of them resembled a noose.

No President was ever screwed worse than Andrew Jackson in his first run for the office. When he finally won 4 years later he did it as the “ people’s choice “.
He is a natural presidential hero to Trump.
Jackson also founded the democrat party. 
You seem pretty naive on history.

Yes, 'George Floyd' and 'BLM' have turned into 'is chess racist'...and 'cancel culture'...including statues and anything deemed 'racist'.

'Coco Pops' the latest one [suggested by Boris]

"When students return to campus this fall, they can expect new prevention measures from colleges and universities including social distancing, physical spacing, hand sanitizing stations, face covering requirements, and regular monitoring of students for symptoms of COVID-19," the statement said. "Each school district will determine how to implement the guidance based on its unique student enrollment, school facilities, staffing, transportation, and technological capacity


Bravo to Illinois for planning to open schools.

Still nothing from U of Chicago.  U of Michigan is pretty much a go with  some limitations.
