Today, Donald Trump can’t stop saying “China Virus.”
Back in January, not a peep. Why not? #UsefulIdiot

On Jan. 13, 14 and 15, Trump had top Chinese officials on White House grounds. No one bothered to ask about the new deadly pneumonia that had crippled one of their major cities.
Trump was desperate for a “trade deal” from China’s dictator, which was not even really a trade deal, but just a partial unwinding of the trade war that Trump himself started. The result? A white-washing of the virus threat until it was too late.
Today: 184,697 Americans are now dead. 150,000 of those could have been avoided.

NEW -- Kash Patel has hawked a sketchy supplement to undo the effects of the COVID vaccine, promoted the QAnon cult, spread Trump's lies about a stolen election, and already has a 60-name enemies list of Trump critics.

Soon he could the FBI director.
Should he win confirmation, it would put an end to the concept of the FBI as a non-political law enforcement agency, and unwind the reforms put in place after the abuses by J. Edgar Hoover.

Republicans and Democrats call him Trump's most dangerous pick.

Reading back through this before filing, I was taken aback that someone could do and say the things Patel has over the past years and STILL likely be the next FBI director.

NEW -- Donald Trump incurred no legal consequences for his Jan. 6, 2021, attempted coup, and now members of his mob who assaulted police officers in his name that day will no longer be held accountable, either.

huffpost.com/entry/trump-ja…
Trump has lied, repeatedly, about what the people who were sent to prison for this Jan. 6 actions did.

No, grandma taking selfies was not sent to a super max.

Here are some examples of what his "hostages" and "political prisoners" did:
They included Trump supporters like Andrew Taake, who received 74 months at a federal prison in Beaumont, Texas, for pepper-spraying police officers and hitting one with a metal whip.

Isn’t the Silk Road drug dealer guy?

Convicted by a jury?

Why is Trump releasing a convicted drug dealer? Image
Oh. He used crypto to do his crimes.

Therefore he had to be freed.
From the ICE press release upon his conviction: Image

NEW -- Trump went to Valdosta days after Helene hit and claimed he had brought truckloads of food, water and gasoline.

Turns out the only thing he brought that day was traffic from his motorcade, which pulled dozens of cops away from storm cleanup.
huffpost.com/entry/donald-t…
“Today I’ve come to Valdosta with large semi-trucks, many of them filled with relief aid, and a tanker truck filled up with gasoline," the coup-attempting former president said, wearing his campaign hat in front of a wrecked furniture store.
Trump’s campaign later sent out a press release headlined, “President Trump Delivers Relief, Support To Hurricane-Ravaged South,” which stated: “President Trump delivered relief supplies to aid in the hurricane’s devastating aftermath."

The coup-attempting criminal former president is laser focused on the economy, as his campaign aides want, as he talked about Gov. Tim Walz and tampons in boys bathrooms. Image
And then claims that VP Harris "crackled" while inflation increased.

(Ed note: He's talking about her laugh, so maybe he meant "cackle.")
Now he's claiming that all of his favorite dictators (Putin! Xi! Kim!) are laughing at us.

If this actually is a news conference, in that he takes questions, rather than just ramble on endlessly and leave, here are some the reporters down there should be asking: Image
1) Given that your campaign is attacking Gov. Walz's military record, can you explain your choice to fake bone spurs to avoid the Vietnam War?

1a) Was it appropriate to compare your having unprotected sex with random women to what US soldiers were facing overseas?
2) You keep complaining about being called a "threat to democracy." Does that mean you regret lying endlessly about the 2020 election and inciting a violent assault on the Capitol and then doing nothing about it for three hours?
