but far away from a deadly disease in any case.

Mind explaining that to the almost 1 million death people so far? That number is probably quite a bit higher, actually, because not all covid related deaths are recorded as covid related deaths. The second wave is about to hit many countries in Europe (including the UK) and the USA, so the number of deaths is very probably going to increase again. So far, 200,000 in the USA, 42,000 in the UK, with numbers on the rise.

Some very simple measures can drastically reduce the number of infections and deaths: social distance, wear a mask, wash your hands, it’s as simple as that. If someone can not see the need to practice those simple rules, then Yinn has every right to call those people covidiots. And please don’t play that ‘freedom’ card, because what some people see as freedom is just another way to say “I will do as I damned well please, and screw everyone else”.

More public holidays eyed in bid to boost economy

It’s all nice and dandy to have more public holidays, but what good are those if no one has a dime to spend? People are struggling to pay their bills as it is, so I don’t see many of them going out to stay at resorts and spending tons of money.

You either have no idea what "radical far left" means, or worse, knowingly spread lies. Biden is not far left and certainly not radical. He wouldn't even make Left, by European standards.

Many Americans have no idea what it means. They will call anything that is even fractionally to the left of their own far-right ideas and views “radical far left”, or “socialist” or whatever. By European standards, probably about 99% of American politicians are to the (far) right of the political spectrum. 

Even Faux News is now confirming that Trump called fallen soldiers losers and suckers. Just hope this message will get across to the American voters loud and clear, that Trump is an awful human being and a sorry excuse for a man. Vote him out, and then lock him up!

Then force Australians to take it.

I agree, but very doubtful. Not only because of the legality, but also because there are a lot of loonies out there, anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theory believers, ‘freedom’ thinkers, and so on and so forth, and they will all refuse to be vaccinated.

Trump sounds like my cousin a lot of the time. My cousin has a neighbor who tells my cousin the most ridiculous things and the craziest conspiracy sh*t you can imagine, and my cousin, bless his heart, believes every single word and then goes around town telling everyone who will listen the same BS. 
Trump is a lot like that. He hears things, and when they fit his twisted world view, automatically assumes it must be true and then feels the need to spread the message. How someone like that can be president of the most powerful country in the world is totally beyond me.

Belarus revokes accreditations of journalists covering protests for foreign media

Yeah, can’t have those pesky journalists reporting to the world what’s actually going on, now dan we? I wouldn’t be surprised if the country were crawling already with Russian agents, sent in by Putin, trying to help keep Lukashenko in power. Keeping reporters from reporting the news is just the first step.

Selfish scum.

Or just plain ignorant/stupid, take your pick. Many anti-vaxxers among those protesters, and so-called “Reichsbürger”, people who don’t recognize the state of Germany and think that German laws don’t apply to them. Plus the other usual suspects who demand their freedom but fail to realize that their freedom will go at the expense of others.

That's why he's worth 2.1 billion USD

Says Trump. And you, apparently. Trump's lawyers have been fighting tooth and nail for years now, though, to keep his financial records buried. And not to make too fine a point of it, but Trump filed for bankruptcy five or six times and conned thousands (tens of thousands?) of small investors and small businesses out of millions and millions of dollars that way. Getting rich that way is not exactly something to be very proud of, in my opinion.

Ah yes, Mr Invisible Secretary of State with the shortest tenure of any Secretary of State, fired by Trump. An objective judgement no doubt.

 

Daniel W. Drezner of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University was highly critical of Tillerson, calling him an "unmitigated disaster", and "the most incompetent Secretary of State in modern history.

 

Elliot Cohen of Johns Hopkins University said that Tillerson might be one of the weakest Secretaries of State in American history.

 

Elizabeth Saunders of George Washington University said that Tillerson's tenure had damaged the State Department "for a generation" and decreased America's ability to respond to major crisis.

 

So maybe not the best guy to throw stones.

All that may be true, but Riclag asked for a source as to who called Trump an idiot and I provided one. And I’m pretty sure Tillerson wasn’t the only one in the WH who called Trump an idiot, moron, or worse.

You got a source claiming he's a idiot

Rex Tillerson, former secretary of state, actually called him a <deleted> moron.

C'mon man, it's not just Trump and his supporters, Uncle Joe makes some pretty weird statements, you know the thing.

Are you really trying to compare Trump and his supporters to Joe Biden when it comes to uttering weird sh*t? Because they are clearly in a completely different league. Trump loves what QAnon supporters say about him and retweets some of the batcrap crazy stuff they put out there, for instance. Nothing that 'Uncle Joe' says or does even comes close to that.

Most surely not I say.

I'm afraid I have to agree. Trump supporters are believers, it's like a religion: facts don't matter, just what you believe in. For all of you who want to see first hand how ignorant and delusional many Trump supporters are, I would suggest watching a few videos on youtube called 'Trump supporters say the darndest things'. It just beggars belief.
