    It's called satire. It also says zero people died. Much complicated, I know.

    Also note how 4 deaths shows a bigger peak than 190,462. I mean, wtf right!!!?!?!

    That's the rub of it. If the GOP hadn't pulled their crap with Garland in 2016, I don't think Dems would be happy about this now but would be admitting it's how the system works.

    Instead Democrats are enraged that the GOP created a rule from no where and are applying it differently to themselves versus how they applied it to Democrats.

    That's their duty as the majority of the senate. Nothing in the law that states they have to enact favorable outcomes for the Democrats.

    I am sure you were totes outraged in 2016 when they didn't do their duty for 9 months because it benefited them.

    As Lindsey Graham said “I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination, and you could use my words against me and you’d be absolutely right. We’re setting a precedent here today."

    And now the Republicans are trying to write a constitutional amendment that will limit the SCOTUS to 9 people. But of course, it will never be heard because of the House being controlled by Dems.

    So if Democrats reclaim the majority in the Senate next year and Biden wins the Presidency, I'm sure you won't scream bloody murder if Democrats expand the Supreme Court to sit two or more liberal justices. After all, it's their duty as the majority of the Senate and nothing says that they have to enact favorable outcomes for Republicans.

    Trump supporters are willfully hypocritical. Trying to play gotcha games to expose their hypocrisy has no effect on them.....they legit don’t care.

    I was being coy... but, this post is a better Visual aid... You lied spreading misinformation, because you trusted Trump. Months later, 200000 dead, and you still do this.

    Trump lied, 200000 Americans died and millions are at risk because even after admitting the lie, you still believe it. The people who believed Trump are still spreading the virus, with wonton disregard for fellow Americans. Cheering as Trump threatens to withhold funding, instead of using it to stop the virus, because Trump hates America.

    Now, explain to me, why you still trust Trump? He could have gotten you and your family sick, because you trusted him...

    Two Virginia residents were arrested on Monday after they were found walking on railroad tracks behind an Ohio airport with a backpack containing a gun and ammunition before President Trump was set to conduct a rally nearby, according to authorities.

    John Davison, 38, and Vicki Davison, 33, both of Virginia Beach, were both arrested behind Toledo Executive Airport in Lake Township, Ohio, which is a reliever airport for the city’s main Eugene F. Kranz Toledo Express Airport, where the rally was being held about 20 miles away.

    FBI and Secret Service agents were involved in the ongoing investigation into the pair, authorities said, according to Bowling Green's The Sentinel-Tribune.


    They were each charged with making terrorist threats; carrying a concealed weapon; inducing panic, and criminal trespassing after their arrests that involved the Secret Service because Trump was at the rally nearby, The Sentinel-Tribune reported.

    2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden had another gaffe on Sunday when he said an estimated 200 million people have already died from the coronavirus, even though the number of American casualties is closer to 200,000.

    "If Donald Trump has his way, the complications from COVID-19, which are well beyond what they should be -- it's estimated that 200 million people have died -- probably by the time I finish this talk," he said during a campaign speech.


    This isn't the first time Biden has mixed up his math and made head-scratching remarks about the coronavirus mortality rate.

    Back in June, Biden wrongly claimed 120 million people had died as a result of COVID-19, during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania.

    “People don’t have a job, people don’t know where to go, they don’t know what to do,” he said. “Now we have over 120 million dead from COVID.”
    Shit Trump said "15 and soon that number will be zero" instead of 200.000 deaths.

    It's adoring how quick you deplorables are to tell us all what Trump reeaallly meant, whenever he has an absolute brainfart, yet you can't swap millions with thousands.

    They didn’t... Trump got Obama’s pick... even though there was no precedent for it,

    Meanwhile this happened yesterday near the place where Trump was having a rally here in my state of Ohio....
    Meanwhile, 4,623 people have died and 145,165 have been infected in your state, because Trump lied to not panic you. Why should people panic, that there were people with guns at Trump rally? Isn’t that normal? How many people will die from Trump’s rally, due to the virus?

    Exactly. It is the Constitutional right of the President to appoint a nominee to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court and the Senate to take it up. If the Dems want to do the same thing, then win back the Senate. Harry Reid started the shit and McDonnell warned him it could come to bite the Dems in the ass one day. Now is the time.

    I don’t get it either... Trump rallies are full of people with guns, that are preparing for antifa attacks that never happen. Why is he now trying to attack Trump supporters?
