Trump masks and self-distancing,

[DivineOb]

I assume you have a different recommendation for healing the nation -- one which is better than making an everlasting enemy of the South and all its inhabitants.

My recommendation: Sherman 2020.

Sorry. I was not looking for record albums nor for the North to replay the Civil War. You will scare Biden by doing that.

My recommendation: Sherman 2020.

How do we fix the nation if you are not willing that Republican leaders promote healing too? I'm not sure why you are so against this.

Most whites of the South have been the enemy since the Civil War. Trump has continued the tradition of dividing the nation by catering to extreme right movements for votes.

[shunyadragon]

I'm not exaggerating: the way the vast majority of people use masks, they're doing themselves more harm than good.

Needs explanation.

Trump suggests some people wear face masks as part of an effort to damage him politically

The president makes a number of outlandish claims in a brand new interview with The Wall Street Journal

resident Donald Trump on Thursday gave an interview to The Wall Street Journal in which he made a number of outlandish claims about the Chinese government, former national security adviser John Bolton, and even people who wear face masks.

Here are some of the highlights from the president's latest interview:

The president admitted that he had no evidence to back up his claim and said it was based only on an "internal sense."

2.) Trump says he hired John Bolton to make foreign leaders fearful that he'd go to war with them unless they gave him what he wanted.

The president spent a good deal of time trashing the man whom he'd appointed as his national security adviser, and divulged his true rationale for bringing him into his administration in the first place.

"The only thing I liked about Bolton was that everybody thought he was crazy," Trump explained. "When you walk into the room with him, you're in a good negotiating position, because they figure you're going to war if John Bolton was there."

3.) Trump says that he actually was threatening to have looters shot in his now-infamous tweet.

Trump earlier this month issued a warning to anti-police brutality protesters against rioting and looting during demonstrations by tweeting, "When the looting starts, the shooting starts."

Even though Trump then denied that he'd meant it as a direct threat to looters, he has now admitted to WSJ that he did mean it at least partially as a threat.

4.) Trump calls COVID-19 testing "overrated" then brags about how many tests the United States has done.

"I personally think testing is overrated, even though I created the greatest testing machine in history," Trump said of his administration's response to the pandemic.

Trump then explained that the testing "makes us look bad" by revealing how far the virus has spread.

5.) Trump brags that he made more people aware of Juneteenth by holding a rally on that date in a city known as the site of the worst anti-black pogrom in American history.

The president drew criticism for his decision to hold a rally in Tulsa, Okla., on June 19th, which is the day that commemorates the freeing of slaves in the United States.

In addition to stepping on Juneteenth with his rally, the president was also criticized for holding his rally in Tulsa, which was the site of the infamous "Black Wall Street" massacre of black Americans in 1921.

"I did something good: I made Juneteenth very famous," Trump said. "It's actually an important event, an important time. But nobody had ever heard of it."
"The president said the tweet could be read as either a threat or a fact," WSJ reports. "Asked how he intended it, Mr. Trump said 'a combination of both.'"

6.) Trump suggests some people are wearing face masks to damage him politically.

According to WSJ, the president "allowed for the possibility that some Americans wore facial coverings not as a preventative measure but as a way to signal disapproval of him."

He also said he worried that masks weren't really the best way to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, as too many people touched their face masks while wearing them.

"They put their finger on the mask, and they take them off, and then they start touching their eyes and touching their nose and their mouth," he said. "And then they don't know how they caught it?"

Yes, Trump truly is an absolutecidiot and fool. Now, if we could just somehow wake up the fools that follow him to that reality, we could put his foolishness behind us.

Da [heck]?

Indeed.

If you you keep drinking that Trump koolaid, it will kill you just as dead as the event the allusion references.

Because being indoors it will be a superspreader event for covid 19 that will kill hundreds if not thousands.

Have you been out in the public lately? Keeping your mouth and nose covered for an extended period of time is not healthy, especially if done repeatedly. Using the same mask all day is not healthy. Reusing a mask over multiple days is not healthy. Pulling a mask away from your face to reposition it is not healthy. Touching the mask with your fingers is not healthy. And so on. People who do that are literally doing themselves more harm than good, and it's not even protecting them from the China flu.

Oh right. What statistics do you have? We see the worst things happening in Northern Democrat-run places now.

Again, just keep swallowing the Trump Kool-aid. But again, it can kill you just as dead as the allusion to which it refers.

Covid-19 spreads from asymptomatic people MM. And masks prevent droplets from the mount and nose from escaping into the air, not all, but a large percentage. So whereas with most diseases people know they are sick and can isolate themselves, with covid-19 that capacity is circumvented.

Again, wearing masks help keeps the asymptomatic persons from spreading the disease before (if ever) they know they are sick. And that reduces community transmission.

I remember the days when you weren't just all about the ad hominem fallacy. It really wasn't that long ago.

That was prior to the collapse of the collusion delusion hoax, the Ukrainian shakedown hoax, and the impeachment circus.
