The Official Trump is Doing Awesome Thread

[Dirks_Finale]

Media and hollywood bother you but not 200k dead americans? You need to get your priorities in order.

Trump's Covid response was lacking after about May 1st.

But we were looking at many deaths even if Abraham Lincoln were President, tbh. Just not as many, imo.

The masks and lockdowns were never going to go well here in a freedom loving society. People live by the words give me liberty or give me death. People in this country are always highly suspect of government overreaach and were never going to fall in line. We are at least 6 months into this and I still see countless people walking around with the damn mask hanging below their nose or used as a chin guard.

Main Street carnage continues:

Yelp on Wednesday released its latest Economic Average Report, revealing business closures across the U.S. are increasing as a result of the coronavirus pandemic’s economic toll.

As of Aug. 31, 163,735 businesses have indicated on Yelp that they have closed, a 23 percent increase since mid-July.

Yelp also measures businesses whose closures have become permanent. That number has steadily increased over the past six months, now reaching 97,966, representing 60 percent of closed businesses that won’t be reopening.

‘One of the most callous sentiments ever uttered’:

Trump blasted for ‘sick’ comments about blue state virus deaths

President Donald Trump late Wednesday said the fact that millions of Americans haven’t died of Covid-19 is a sign of success and declared,

“If you take the blue states out,

we’re at a level that I don’t think anybody in the world would be at.”


Trump has repeatedly sought to blame Democratic governors for his administration’s failures to combat the coronavirus pandemic,

a grotesque escalation in rhetoric, explicitly devaluing the lives of people living in blue states ravaged by the virus.

“Trump thinks of the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans like a poll number or a stock market price,”

“He cares only about how it makes him look, especially to his supporters.”

Pointing to a graphic purporting to show that the U.S. coronavirus death toll would likely be in the 1.5 to 2.2 million range had the nation done nothing in response to the pandemic, Trump told reporters, “We’re below that substantially, and we’ll see what comes out.”

“If the not-so-good job was done, you’d be between 1.5 million—I remember these numbers so well—and 2.2 million. That’s quite a difference,” the president said.

“Over time, though, the percentage of total deaths that have occurred in blue states has dropped,”

“The most recent data, through Tuesday, indicates that about

53 percent of deaths have occurred in blue states—meaning that

47 percent have occurred in red ones.

In other words, more than 90,000 deaths have occurred in red states.

If that were the country’s total, we would have seen the second-most number of deaths globally, trailing only Brazil.”

btw, his bag advisor Dr Atlas is recommending 6M American dead to achieve herd immunity.

None of the first part of this nonsense is in the realm of factual. Jesus, he knew about the virus in November of last year, and did nothing to prepare.

Military Police Leaders Weighed Deploying 'Heat Ray' Against D.C. Protesters



Hours before federal police officers cleared a crowded park near the White House with smoke and tear gas on June 1,

the lead military police officer in the Department of Defense for the D.C. region asked if the D.C. National Guard had

a kind of military heat ray that might be deployed against demonstrators in the nation's capital,

the Provost Marshal of Joint Force Headquarters National Capital Region.

He was looking for two things:

a long range acoustic device, a kind of sound cannon known as an LRAD, and

a device called the Active Denial System, or ADS.

ADS ... uses millimeter wave technology to essentially heat the skin of people targeted by its invisible ray.

U.S. border officials weighed deploying the so-called "heat ray" against migrants a few weeks before the 2018 elections.

LRAD, a Long Range Acoustic Device.

they may have violated court-ordered regulations that spell out how demonstrators in the nation's capital are to be warned before aggressive tactics are used against them. they don't care

LRAD emits a piercing noise and then can broadcast a voice or a recording at a deafening level. The idea is to allow people at the back of a crowd to hear instructions.

Protesters who were there said police advanced through the crowd with little warning, firing tear gas and smoke canisters

In a puzzling, unexplained development, the Obama administration has been buying and storing vast amounts of ammunition in recent months, with the Department of Homeland Security just placing another order for an additional 21.6 million rounds.


According to one estimate, just since last spring DHS has stockpiled more than 1.6 billion bullets, mainly .40 caliber and 9mm. That's sufficient firepower to shoot every American about five times. Including illegal immigrants.

If they "didn't know" it's because they are ing stupid.

they were talking about stockpiling armor piercing s s specifically for the Lafayette Square protest. You're either ignorant or purposely dishonest.

What a stupid question. Because masks work, but they don't work as well as not being packed in 24-hours a day with other people that have COVID.

‘Appalling waste’:

Trump shredded for spending $22K of taxpayer cash at club that was closed for COVID-19

“Trump’s club charged the Secret Service more than $21,800 to rent a cottage and other rooms while the club was closed and otherwise off-limits to guests.”

staying at the president’s properties carries a heavy price tag compared to other options in the area.

“The records show that Trump Bedminster charged the Secret Service $17,000 a month — or $567 per night — to rent the three-bedroom ‘Sarazen Cottage’ near Trump’s own villa,” the Post writes.

“That rate charged is unusually high for a rental home in the area,

the president’s own businesses have charged the government at least $1.1 million for trips to his personal properties since the start of his first term.

Barr declares he has the

right to levy any charge,

dismiss any case, and

persecute as he pleases

On Wednesday afternoon, Attorney General William Barr blasted the members of his own department in a speech in which he insisted that

he was perfectly justified in overruling legal decisions of career staffers,

insisted that he can wade into any case in any way he likes, and

informed the FBI that they were “agents of the attorney general” who worked directly for him.

Not only did Barr’s declaration nix the idea that the agents and officers involved had sworn an oath to uphold the Cons ution rather than the whims of Barr,

there was a single underlying theme behind everything Barr had to say:

Both the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ) are

to stop going after people in power, and

focus their attacks on the powerless.Barr made it clear that as long as he is in charge,

there will be no investigations of Trump’s friends.

No looking into the wealthy and influential.

Then the white men in the self-described positions of absolute power explained how

they should really be going after Black Lives Matter protesters

who, according to Barr, “are not interested in Black lives.”

And he put a cherry on top by

insisting that social distancing guidelines were

the “greatest intrusion on civil liberties” since slavery.

In a nuts , Barr explained how:

• He’s all-powerful, with the authority to levy any charge, dismiss any case, or investigate anyone he pleases.
• The FBI and DOJ should ignore criminal activity by the powerful.
• Instead they should focus their efforts on Black protesters, who have a “political agenda.”
