Trump's deadly legacy for America:

 


Infidel753 has an excellent post on the subject of Trumpers and vaccines. Please go read it!





They Clapped for Death at CPAC


Trump's cultists actually CHEERING! because hundreds of people are not getting vaccinations so President Biden's goal will not be met.

Trump cultists actually cheering for Americans to die!

Remember when Trump lied and said he saw "thousands of Arab-Americans cheering" the deaths of Americans after 9/ll? A blatant lie.

Well, here we are, America! Trump's cultists are cheering the deaths of Americans to "own the libs."

A terrible, awful, disgusting truth:



"What had been a steady drop in nationwide cases has reverted to a rise, with infections ticking up in many U.S. states. 

At a news briefing Friday, White House Covid-19 Response Team coordinator Jeffrey Zients warned that “as the more transmissible delta variant continues to spread across the country, we will likely continue to experience an increase in covid cases in the weeks ahead.” Making matters worse, in some communities hesitancy to get vaccines has flared into outright enmity against immunizations. 

At the Conservative Political Action Conference, attendees cheered at the country’s failure to meet President Biden's goal of 70 percent of adults having one dose by early July. Republican lawmakers said the president’s door-to-door vaccine campaign should be resisted. 

And Tennessee’s Department of Health will no longer provide information to teenagers on coronavirus vaccines — or any other vaccines — as the Tennessean reported this week. 

 Vaccine hesitancy has persisted in Springfield, Mo., even while the delta variant spreads through the city. As Health reporter Fenit Nirappil documents, Springfield is “a cautionary tale” in how swiftly this variant of concern can rip through unvaccinated communities. 

Earlier in July, ventilators almost become unavailable in one hospital, which is treating more patients this week than it did during the winter surge." --Washington Post

The Tennessee Department of Health must be run by a bunch of complete idiots.

Hopefully a lesson learned by idiot Americans who made him president. Unfortunately, he and his philosophy is not going away anytime soon. His election, his followers, still reflect the hate in the American character.

Thanks for the link!

As for the wingnuts, they got comfortable aligning with Putin against their own country years ago. Aligning with a virus against their own species isn't much of a step further.

Dave Miller said...

Mike... they were ordered to do what they did by GOP State legislators.

That's the uncomfortable truth that the current iteration of the GOP will not, in fact cannot acknowledge.

What really pisses me off is that many ICUs are full in some states so that means someone who has a heart attack or another major emergency will be turned away while someone who refused to get vaxxed is taking up a bed in ICU!

These are Trump a$$h0l3s!

Amazing story in the Washington Post about the second wave of burnout among hospital staff in Missouri and their stories of people coming in arguing that they don’t have Covid because it doesn’t exist. One person even spit at a nurse after he was told. Only one story of an elderly man who the nurse thought was never going to leave the hospital. He admitted he was embarrassed and should have known better and gotten the vaccine.

It is inexcusable that people don't get vaccinated especially children. You have to get vaccinated for MMR and a host of other things but not covid, stupid.

As to the lack of respirators maybe they should contact cuomo because he has 20,000 or so not being used. After ordering the murder of thousands of elderly why is he not in jail. Maybe we can ask his brother.

Why is there no outrage from the press about the BBC allowing illegals who test positive to run fee in the country. Guess there are so few of them that it doesn't matter.

What is utterly and completely startling is that anyone with a mind of their own would parrot the craziness of the government of the DEEP STATE of TENNESSEE.

America's rethuglican party will be the undooing of America.

Bluebullamerica said...

They aren't called the 'stupid party' (by their own) for nothing. Take our friend Skidmark here, for instance; He seems to think the British Broadcasting Channel is directing Covid positive undocumented people into America for reasons? Or maybe he thinks the BBC is sending them to the UK? Who knows? But they are running fees somewhere and gosh dang it, that makes Skid get all itchy in the nether regions. I gave up trying to understand the yapping little parrot of Newsmax long ago. It's far easier than tying yourself into knots running after each and every little deflection he wants to toss out there.

Chuckling out loud at skid's unbridled and remarkably disjointed hiccups of absurdity has become regular entertainment of late.

skudrunner said...

Blueballs, I will assume you were just poking me with your comment. Since someone who purports to be multi lingual, native and brilliant you must keep informed enough to know that BBC is Biden Border Crisis.

Now we have the fiasco of DACA. Why would a president create a program that is temporary passing the buck to the next administration who passes it to the next. Guess it just didn't fit his agenda so he ignored it. Now we have state representatives leaving the state to protest a voting bill that gives more voting rights than was previously available. Guess they don't read and understand their own bills and the media is hyping them as heroes because the media doesn't understand it either.

Some people should do a little more research before they condemn others but that would take to much of your time away from improving your language skills.

skud: "BBC is Biden Border Crisis"

Never heard of it, and I keep informed. It must be some far right anti-Biden right wing label to further divide our country.

skud:" Why would a president create a program that is temporary passing the buck to the next administration who passes it to the next."

You're joking, right? Trump passed a chaotic, incompetent COVID-19 response on to Joe Biden. 500+ thousand Americans died because of Trump's incompetence and stupidity. It's more than outrageous how you guys ignore the failures, incompetence, lies, and destructive policies that were committed during Trump's watch, but can't wait to come up with silly initials to pin on the 6 month old Biden Administration.

Have you paid any attention to the horrendous reports about floods in Europe, fires in the Northwestern US, drought, rains in the Northeast, record-breaking temps, melting arctic ice, fires in the Amazon? We don't have cute initials to pin on the Trump administration about his total irresponsible lack of interest in the global warming/climate change catastrophes happening all over the planet. He called that a HOAX. Trump called the COVID-19 pandemic a HOAX. Trump called his loss in the past election a HOAX. Trump, however, didn't call the indictment of his CFO of his Trump Organization a HOAX, he called it a witch hunt.

As for the Democrats who fled Texas, here's the Texas Tribune's reporting:

"On its face, the legislation could appear to be superficially benign, an effort to cull the state election code for areas where there’s room for improvement. But the Republican proposals have raised the possibility that marginalized voters, for whom access is most diminished when rules are tightened, would bear the brunt of its implementation.

Among its new restrictions are bans on drive-thru and overnight voting that were pioneered by Harris County — the once prized battleground turned Democratic stronghold — to widen access to voters for whom the usual rules limit opportunities to vote. After analyzing their voting data, county election officials found those measures were particularly successful in reaching voters of color in the last election.

[skip]

“Texas’ generations-long pattern of discrimination is not in the past; it is alive and present today in the anti-voter bills before the Texas State Legislature,” state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio, said in a statement about the quorum break. “This is part of a calculated and deliberate Republican plan to chip away at the freedom to vote and to choose our leaders.”

Their remarks echoed the series of federal court rulings in recent years that found state lawmakers have repeatedly and intentionally discriminated against voters of color, often by diluting the power of their votes in selecting their representatives.

The high-stakes fight in Congress centers on a pair of federal bills, including one that could place Texas, and other states with a history of discrimination against voters of color, back under federal supervision of its election laws and redistricting."

Ms. Shaw, With democrats it is all about trump because their pick is incompetent. I don't blame joey because he has no clue. He has a racist, incompetent VP and his handlers keep him away from answering any questions.

As to Texas voting law changes. If there were no changes in existing laws not temporary covid laws, there would be more restrictions in voting but you don't hear about that aspect. How is requiring an ID and requesting a ballot discrimination. EVERYONE can vote for the person of their choice but and drive through voting was because of the pandemic.

Climate change, global warming, global cooling, atmospheric pollution or what ever else you want to call it cannot be successful unless there is world wide compliance. The US is the leader in compliance and nothing is being done my China and India.

If you lived in the South or Southwest instead of the colonies you would be very familiar with BBC.

Bluebullamerica said...

I live in the South, Skidmark and I've never heard that childish prattle before. I assume it's from some right wing disinformation page for the knuckle-dragger community to 'own the libs' with yet another juvenile, playground naughty name. Careful of the cooties while you're out there, Skid.
So you're against kids brought here when they were very young, have worked hard, gotten educated and some have even served in the uniform of our nation (something most GQP scum wouldn't know anything about) being allowed to stay here? Really? How about mail order brides and their families? (Oh Melania, time to go, babe.) What do you think about the old wet-foot/dry-foot system where Cubans who tend to vote Repub get to stay but anyone else gets arrested and sent back to whatever hellhole they came from? Is that okay with you, I assume?

Yes, I do speak several languages. Sadly, Right Wing Idiot isn't one of them.

Trump and his entire family got vaccinated in January.
Pence and his family got vaccinated in January.
Every GOP senator and congressperson got vaccinated in January.

The people telling you not to vaccinate are all vaccinated.

Ignoramus. India has been building solar-power capacity on a massive scale. So have some of the Arab countries. Europe is heavily developing both solar and wind power. The US has lagged behind most of the rest of the world in addressing climate change, especially during the time of Trump, because we're the only advanced country with a major political party stupid enough to claim the problem isn't real.

Anonymous said...

Are they tellling folks not to get vaccinated or is it more they are saying the decision to vacinate is personal and individual?

However, a more responsible approach to getting vacinated is this, it protects other from becoming infected with covid 19 (as well as the variants) by you and it even protects you as well. A real win-win senario.

Only a total moron fails to understand this.

skudrunner said...

Infidel, top five offenders China, US, India, Russia, Japan. Just because they are producing solar power doesn't mean they are not massive polluters. Did that fact confuse you because I will take the time to explain it to you. Problem is I don't have many pictures so you still will not follow along.
