Utter rubbish. The reporting is on trumps own words and actions. Its not made up.

 

The economy was following the trend left by obama. But he did run the deficit up.

 

No one blamed trump for the virus, but trump is to blame ignoring the science which has caused tens of thousands more deaths. Wear a mask. Fact.

 

most of the world is laughing at trump and under him the US is now not anyones ally. Didnt you know its America first, America alone.

Big clues for the officials to plan ahead like the covid and up trending voters enthusiasm. Lame excuse from Rep state.

As someone from a county allied to the US with defense treaties, how do you feel about Trump's contempt for allies, breaking treaties, and abandoning one ally, the Kurds, in the midst of a war?

 

You are either spectacularly misinformed or a troll.

Exactly. They make it so hard to vote. Should have voting stations everywhere so waiting time about 30 mins. Especially with the virus hanging around.

It's called Voter Suppression and widely practised by Republican run states.

Every time I see a post beginning with I'm a foreigner etc it always ends up being pro-trump. Sometimers the author explicitly claims he's impartial because he's not an American, sometimes not. But the implication is there. But all you've done is echo Trump talking points.

 

The economy was improving before Trump and there were no drastic changes in that improvement afterwards. Things continued to get better.

 

Your point about the China is ridiculous. Just because China was at fault, that doesn't mean that Trump wasn't. How does Australia's performance against Covid compare to the USA's? Elected officials there followed the advice of scientists and very wisely got out of the way.

 

As for most of the world laughing at the USA, if so, it's because of the guy it elected for president. And international polling shows it's clearly your contention that's laughable. Xi of China actually gets better ratings than Trump! The only 2 countries where Trump is at all popular are Israel and Russia.

I agree that Trump has to go, and don't you know he is immune now, so

he probably thinks that he can touch the whole world, as he thinks that

he is the hero, covid 19 virus survivor. Any word on the first lady or other

White house staff members and how they are recovering from the virus?

  I am sick of hearing only about Trump and his latest twitter.

Geezer

Whom of the trump supporters will admit they would risk their  son to Covid-19 for political reasons?

 Barron is sick with it

Well, he was infected with the virus. It's said he was asymptomatic. Supposedly, he's testing negative now. Still, an asymptomatic person can spread the virus to others.

Is wearing a mask really a fact when the cdc itself says 85% of people that caught the virus always wore masks, or normally wore masks?

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/pdfs/mm6936a5-H.pdf

 

A survey conducted by over a dozen medical institutions for the CDC and published in Sept. 11's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report showed that 85% of those who contracted COVID-19 during July among the study group either "always" or "often" wore face coverings within the 14 days before they were infected.

When people have to wait hours in long lines even for early voting, that indicates there is something seriously wrong with the voting system in the US

It’s called voter suppression that along with crippling the post office packing the courts solicitation of foreign interference trying to cast doubt on our election that’s why folks are trying to save our democracy standing in line for a few hours is a small price to pay considering many have given their lives to defend our democracy trump and his ilk will continue to try and make it difficult they are what they are (finished)

Nice try. You failed to mention who the people in the study group were:

"Findings from a case-control investigation of symptomatic outpatients from 11 U.S. health care facilities found that close contact with persons with known COVID-19 or going to locations that offer on-site eating and drinking options were associated with COVID-19 positivity. Adults with positive SARS-CoV-2 test results were approximately twice as likely to have reported dining at a restaurant than were those with negative SARS-CoV-2 test results."

Voter check-in system to blame for slow-moving lines in Georgia

 

Voting slowed to a crawl across Georgia this week in large part because of check-in computers that couldn’t handle the load of record turnout at early voting locations.
 

The problem created a bottleneck as voters reached the front of the line, when poll workers had to deal with sluggish laptops to verify each voter. Some early voting sites reported checking in just 10 voters per hour at each computer.
...

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger initially attributed the lines to high turnout, which is part of the reason for delays. But it became clear from interviews with poll workers, election officials and voters this week that technical difficulties contributed to severe waits.
