48%? I’m guessing the lower half of the IQ curve?

At some point, the media need to start calling Trump’s lies lies. Lies are not statements. Lies are not claims. Lies are Lies.

If the media were doing a good job of providing information regarding the virus, 48% of Americans would not think Trump was doing a good job.

Trump’s response rating falls six points below that figure in the same poll, with 48 percent of Americans saying that they believe the President’s handling of the coronavirus was “good” or “excellent.”

48 percent still seems like it’s way too high. How can 48 percent of the country look at this shit-show and say, “attaboy, Donny!”?

Professional, credible journalists know the ‘news’ is open source. No journalist worthy of the name wants to be known for spreading lies or propaganda.

We NEED journalists, so we can see and hold government accountable.

For example, this genius who can’t talk and put on gloves at the same time. Florida, you must be so proud of your Governor. You’re all gonna die with this cretin in charge.

You know why people trust the media more than this Administration?

Because you have the Attorney General talking about a “jihad” against hydroxychloroquine. The AG, who knows even less about medicine than he does about the Constitution.

Americans think 39 of 40 dead presidents responded better to the outbreak than Trump.

(And the fortieth one tied with Trump – in every poll but Rasmussen.)

Captain Crozier was right and the Navy and Defense suits were fatally wrong.

The sailor tested positive March 30, the day former commanding officer Capt. Brett Crozier sent a letter to Navy officials pleading for help controlling the spread of the virus aboard the ship. The crew member was moved to 14-day quarantine at Naval Base Guam and was then transferred to the base hospital, the Navy said.

NOT impressed with Covidiot-In-Chief’s response either!

BUT I am impressed with the fortitude of Dr. Fauci in telling the truth and balancing the mendacity of Covidiot-In-Chief and the reality of living in times of Coronavirus!

Latest CNN poll: 53-42 Biden. Indies: 52-40 Biden. Trump is tanking, he knows it tries to take it out on CNN, will fail again.

Fat, stupid and orange is no way to go through life. Take the hint, asshole.

Pew “just released” a poll from March 19-24?!

Chill folks, that period was Trump’s high-water mark when people gave him the benefit of the doubt and before generally Shit Got Real and his indifference and incompetence began to shine as bright as ever…
