Another Trump political move - now the CDC are saying people who were in close contact with a confirmed Covid-19 case now don't need to be tested unless they are vulnerable. Doesn't sound like a sensible public health measure as it allows the virus to spread unchecked. It appears the change has been forced on them by the Trump administration. Trump has been promising to reduce testing because the high number of cases makes him look bad. Politicizing another independent government agency and the GOP and Trump fanboys stand by.

The video was 60 seconds long and showed none of the prime time speakers that I referred to.

Trump Jr was in the video. Guilfoyle was in the video. Who do you mean was being optimistic?

Then why are people leaving in droves?

And coming in, in droves. 2017-2019 500,000+ moved to CA. And, yes, 649,00 left. So, why are they coming in? Because of the opportunity. Why are they leaving? Because it's expensive.

LA and San Francisco have become almost unliveable in the last 20 years because the Democrats thought it would be a good idea to give mentally ill people the right to set up camp in public and shoot heroin on people's doorsteps.

No that's not why people are leaving. They're leaving because they can't afford to live there.

Job numbers under Trump were the best they'd ever been before, you know, a once in a century pandemic screwed up the world economy.

it IS the economy, stupid, not it WAS the economy, stupid. No excuse. Go get in a food line if you think it's so great under the #IMPOTUS.

With regard to COVID, it baffles me how nobody understands that the US is a federal republic. The first responsibility for acting on COVID always rested on state governors. The only significant actions the US President could take was to shut down incoming air travel from foreign countries and use Federal resources to supplement state resources where necessary both of which he did (as acknowledged by many Democrat governors.) When things were at their worst in New York, even Andrew Cuomo acknowledged how obliging Trump was. It was never Trump's job to implement specific lockdown measures in states.

And mobilize testing -which he did, then cancelled. And do an orderly job of bringing people back into the country once his bans were in place (especially from Europe where the infection that mostly devastated the Northeast originated.) Nope, chaos. Oh, and have had enough resources on-hand, like he'd been warned about for years until he disbanded the team doing the warning. And used the DPA right away, not after a couple months. And and and

We understand the US is a Federal republic. In times of disaster, the Federal government can make resources available with a disaster declaration. Did that happen promptly for the earliest, hardest-hit states?

By the way, seven out of the top ten states in terms of death rates per capita are run by Democrats. All the hysteria over Florida, Texas and Georgia was fake news. Those states were 17th, 15th and 20th respectively. Meanwhile, Cuomo got away with shipping elderly folk back into nursing homes after they tested positive.

Death rates per what? population, or cases? And, timing? NY got hit first. In terms of absolute number of deaths, NY, NJ, CA, TX, FL, GA, MA in descending order.

Deficits? Unfortunately neither party cares about deficits and its a non-issue for the American people.

It was in the 2016 tGOP platform. Since the 2020 tGOP platform is the same thing, then, it is an issue.

I think LeBron James realises this election is an existential moment for the United States and he's willing to risk a championship and its associated implications for his personal legacy while being at the peak of his athletic powers to make a stand on the issue. There goes that man.

I actually think it is a very good tactic. Kaeperneck tried to do something but was beset by those that felt it was offensive (the very same people that decry PC nonsense!) but one sure fire way of getting things to change is to directly effect the things that people really want. Basketball, NFL, baseball.

Cut them off, even for a few months. Easy for the NFK owners, for example, to ignore and discard Colin, but when the whole league is stopped, then the owners will start to demand action. Once the elites start demanding change it will happen.

He's already won enough championships for his legacy.

Taking a stand and being seen as "risking it all for human rights" would make more sense if he wanted to grow his legacy.

Doing this is a far greater benefit for LeBron than just continuing on and winning a ring.

He didn't care about China and Hong Kong less than a year ago leading to vast majority of nba fans calling him out and criticising him. It would have cost him money that's why.

Look at Kaepernick. On Nikes payroll for not playing football.

Does LeBron not realise BLM was started in 2013.

Just imagine the blame Trump would have got if BLM was started during his term.

The election is a win win for me. If Trump wins it'll show us many people are sick of the PC nonsense. If Biden wins, then he has dementia and will be a laughing stock and then people will realise blacks will still get killed and Biden is the same.

It was a softball interview where most of the questions were posed to help him and even then the guy was talking nonsense throughout. Most notably when at 11m50s he said:

So the FDA chief overstated the benefits of convalescent plasma during the Trump press conference on Sunday. Why would someone let themselves be used as a political tool by Trump? Basically he stood there and lied to make Trump look better.

Did anyone see Nick Sandmanns speech? He spoke about mainstream media bias & lies and the effects they had on his young life. He's a great kid. It came off as very heartfelt from my perspective anyhow. Seems he has suffered greatly. The very end of his speech is kind of funny but I wont spoiler it for anyone, go watch it!

CNN broadcasting Nick giving out about CNN while CNN are paying him a hefty sum for defaming him is one of the sweetest moments of this election cycle

FLOTUS speech from RNC. Very positive, uplifting and hopeful (as you would expect from Melania). Spoke of the problems caused by Covid and the hard work being done to find a solution. She had very kind words for front line workers who risk their lives every day to help fellow Americans.

In these turbulent times, she urged people to look beyond race and instead judge everyone on the strength of their character.

The president was in attendance at the speech. The love and respect they have for each other is palpable. They have made a great team over the past four years, long may it continue!

Completely disagree.

America has a toxic relationship with firearms. Its president, whatever his stance on the 2nd amendment should be aware of the current febrile atmosphere and should most certainly not be using it to try and generate publicity.
