“Biden Goebbels” brings it up as the top result. Sometimes super-simple searches work the best.
Of course, may be because I do a lot of political searches and reading.

Yes he claimed they are a long way from me.
I tried that about a half hour ago… got a lotta ads for stuff unrelated. My search words were
“Biden Goebbels quote”
Probly were I went wrong or I spelled incorrectly.

Huh. Probably is my personalized searches aided by Google AI then.
It’s a good comparison at any rate.
Except trump’s pandemic PR has sucked from the beginning. It’s all he has tried to do and he’s failed miserably at it. All the while we are dying by a 1000 a day and he remains popular with 40% of Americans. That is sickening. Any other POTUS woulda been hounded out of office.
It is hard for me to conceive of a president remaining popular with 40% of us while we die by a 1000/day from something we could prevent given competent leadership and decent science.

“I’ve heard Trump claim that he saved anywhere from 3 to 5 million people. It depends on his mood I guess”.
Take out the word “people” and insert the word dollars and the quote would make more sense considering what is most important to trump. It sure as hell is not people. He does not see ordinary folk as living breathing people. To him we are expendable. We are nothing… less than nothing really. If we mattered to him he would be busting his ass to save us. Instead he plainly said “I take no responsibility. At all”. Those are his exact words. He said it on two seperate occasions so he means it. “It is what it is” he said. Epic callousness.

“Checks and balances” is the key phrase - as an engineer, I was constantly reminded that use of federal funds for any purpose not intended/authorized would result in either a large fine, jail time - or both. And unemployment along with loss of pension too.
Besides getting rid of independent IGs, trump and his minions probably have lawyers trying to excuse the misdirection of funds as somehow justified in order to protect them from the penalties associated with the Anti-Deficiency Act.

45,000+ COVID-19 cases today folks, ~750 patriotic American heroes dead.
There were over 8000+ cases in South Dakota where cases began to surge after Skanky Turdface and First Vinyl Doll Iwanka did that rally thing in Rushmore.
That is one 9-11 every week. Or as Skanky Turdface would put it 7-11.
I would love to see them lose TX or FL or both. The bigger cities in Texas are going blue, and I don’t believe they have enough people (operatives) to fuck with all of them.
Trump On Pandemic: ‘The Only Thing’ Administration Has Done Poorly Is Public Relations
Yeah and it was your fuckin’ job donald.
If I had anything to say to you directly before now it would be (and if it were any other job) …
As it is I will cast my vote early and in a way it is secure and you cannot steal it without a shitload of trouble donald.
Just sayin’
And not I do not like you. Not as a politician and damn sure not as a man. I don’t cheat on Mrs darr and she knows it. I did not cheat with a porn star when our son was a baby. And I have been married just once. I don’t lie and it’s not a habit here. And it is not your example I will teach my grandson. You have no shame but you should.

The death statistics are bad enough but there are going to be hundreds of thousands or millions who “recovered” who will suffer long term consequences from the infection. It will take years to really understand the extent of the damage.

I have cousins in Phoenix just 120 miles north of where we live. They are elderly. One is 79, his wife is 75, their eldest son is in his 40’s. The three all got infected in June. Luckily none had any strong symptom. So far. What the future holds we cannot say but I can say I blame trump for this assault on my family. He could have stopped this in December and chose not to. Laziness, stupidity, self indulgence… who can say. Certainly incompetence. When ebola got loose from the Congo during Obama’s tenure it got to our shores. The CDC under Obama knew how to handle the outbreak and jumped on it immediately. There was no politics or fucking about that “it will go away like a miracle” bullshit.
These days all we have is a carnival barker who is running a Ponzi scheme to save his own ass and he could care less about us.
The Obama people handed the trump folk material on how to deal with epidemics and it was discarded because it was from Obama who had roasted trump at a correspondent’s dinner in 2011. Anything Obama did is tainted according to trump’s world view.
Now we are saddled with a pandemic that will require herculean effort to control even with a working vaccine. All because of trump and his epic incompetence.
Justice demands that trump be in prison. For a long variety of crimes.
