    You were doing good until the last sentence. Then the TDS kicked in. It's a shame, because Trump is living rent free in your head.

    And it's going to get worse. The President is doing very well, and the early shutdown firewalls him from just about any ridiculous attacks.

    I’m just going by the standard of which “fear mongering” is used to label the media here. Here we are “fear mongering” about an actual real virus that affects us and can kill some of us.

    So maybe we worry a little bit about that or I could stay awake worrying about some half baked story that may or may not have happened on a website notorious for taking liberties with “source” and sensationalistic headlines.

    Yeah, you’re right. You shouldn’t visit Breitbart. Wouldn’t want you to lose sleep. Did you lose any sleep when Andrew dropped dead prematurely or did you just celebrate quietly?

    Zactly. If one has diabetes but is living a normal life by controlling it, catches Cvirus and dies, then the virus killed him. Same with any other 'underlying condition'.

    The NY Times was trying to make an issue out of Trump's touting of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for coronavirus as being motivated by his owning stock in the company that makes it. Another day, another baseless attack on Trump.

    The Babylon Bee ran an article recently, "Man begs internet to quit making him defend Trump." I can certainly relate.

    Right bait and switch.

    His press conference this past week made that tweet blush. I’ll find it for you.

    Hey if it helps you sleep. I bet the democrat lawmaker testimony about HCQ gave you cold-sweat nightmares.

    But none of this will go away until you get to the root of the problem that makes you so irrational.

    Oh I know it was baseless. Just off topic. People throw stuff this at me like I’m a Democrat and it’s some sort of gotcha.

    if it walks like a duck, & quacks like a duck..........it must be a rino duck.

    I admit I never consider them as Republican, because I always hope that Republicans will be conservative, & that’s just not the case. In light of that, will you be voting for Trump?

    While I applaud the efforts of Samaritan's Purse, just exactly what does "Eight tons of Medical Supplies" mean?

    How many tons do they need?
    Is eight tons a lot of supplies?
    Is eight tons a lot of supplies for Alaska?
    How many pallets does eight tons of supplies fit on?

    There is no context whatsoever. It sure sounds good though--eight tons!
