‘Some things you can’t control’: Trump chief of staff dismisses surge in COVID-19 deaths

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/some-things-you-cant-control-trump-chief-of-staff-dismisses-surge-in-19-s/

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on Sunday insisted that the surge in COVID-19 deaths is something that President Donald Trump “can’t control.”

Meadows made the remarks during an interview on ABC’s This Week program after host George Stephanopoulos noted that over 1,000 Americans had died each day for five days in a row.


WH CoS Meadows and other Trump enablers new line on the covid 19..."Some things you can't control"

But EVERY other country in the world has done better - and controlled the covid 19 from killing over 140,000 of their citizens.

They took it seriously - Trump didn't
They took responsibility - Trump didn't
They had a plan- Trump didn't
They put people's health over the economy - Trump didn't

They encouraged actions that would flatten the curves and save lives - Trump didn't
They had leaders that led by example - Trump didn't.

Sadly, the U.S. leads the world in deaths. People have died, some will have long-term health issues all because of Trump's selfishness and lack of leadership.
President Bolsonaro also said he was taking hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin to combat the virus.

On Wednesday President Bolsonaro shared some excellent news and took a swipe at his socialist critics by tweeting out that he is doing very well with the hydroxychloroquine treatment.

On Saturday President Bolsonaro announced he was coronavirus free — He tested negative for coronavirus.
The Brazilian president held up a package of hydroxychloroquine in his tweet.


Which apparently according to TDS victims does not work.
How many lives would have been saved if doctors were allowed to prescribe HCL.

Democrats Trump will roll you over in Nov 3 2020.
The wailing and gnashing will reverberate all around the world.

You are so up in propaganda down where the sun dont shine .
You are only making statements from a higher point of knowledge above all other mortals and dismissing anything that you cannot comprehend as garbage.
Typical leftists know nothing it all .Thinking their positions on matters America are a preserve of themselves. Only your PoV matters, anything against your indocrination is garbage.

The big picture that you and anarchists are not seeing.
Your 'superiority of wit' is a complete turnoff. You cannot debunk anything without resulting to ad hominem.

With democrats like you, Trump need not campaign at all. Ordinary people who want common sense solutions are reviled by your likes. They will say one thing to a pollsters but vote differently.

In short you are doing the heavy lifting for Trump among undecided voters. You think that main media not covering the antics of violent leftists in your corner is not being reported in other media. You assume those who do not see your way are less intelligent. You cannot intimidate people who are seated at the corner wondering why you should not demand a refund from your community college.

Soros is the wacky Right boogeyman and he has been for a long time. Soros is a good man that the crazy right wing hate mongers always trying to demonize but it's not working. The same way they are trying to demonize Dr Fauci and that's failing too. Nov 3rd is around the corner and all these Orange Pig a@s lickers will go back to fighting for their Biafra.
There you go again.
¹You have a way of making a claim that is completely false. And make it sound purely factual.Thinking that you know whats best for us, By now you must have noticed that not a lot of people are commenting here thanks to your many monikers.

George Soros is an evil man, a globalist who bets on crashing economies. He has leftist ideals that he sponsors all over the world, mainly marxist in nature, destroying families, sowing chaos and disorder like BLM and Antifa. To call him a good man is a plain lie, he is the most evil man in today's world.

By saying Biden will win, what are you basing this on? Polls ? No you are basing it on the number of deaths and infections via covid and the subsequent economic losses from the lockdown.
When covid is contained, the economy will rebound.
Before covid TRUMP had solid good economic growth. His policies had set the stage despite sabotage by the Dems for record recovery and growth. You assume that ordinary people did not know why the economy was improving. Of course you assume people are dumb.

Joe Biden will undo all Trump policies, He will stop fracking eventually.He will return all the bureaucracy setup by Nobama in order to feel good about climate change, global warming or whatever term is politically correct.
In areas of energy he will lose traction with blue collar, investors and supply chain in energy industry.
Of course he will return to status quo of China exploitation , a wrong move now when many know the wuhan virus came from China. Come on China are good guys he once said.
Further Joe dementia is yet to be grilled by the media, where I expect he will avoid like the plague.

Go on just saying how Trump will lose, without giving any reason .
Any sane American knows that Trump is working for the economy and will be better to be at the helm once wuhan is contained. Biden will raise taxes to fund social justice programs
Not many people want to be under govt and social justice programs when they had already started tasting the benefits of being independent.
Unlike you O suppose.

Anyone who watches MSM will agree with you.
Those who can think are able to see through your plain falsehoods

Very strange. All those whose businesses have been damaged in democrat controlled towns have not been polled.
The Dem mayors even go to the courts to prevent federal agents from being deployed to protect federal properties like courtyards.
Dems call these agents brownshirts.

Brownshirts were Hitler youths who went harrasing those who were on wrong book with the Nazis.

BLM anarchists have killed a woman who said white lives matter, beaten up others who are not for their cause including some Catholic faithful holding a prayer beside a statue . They even had a powersaw to cut thru a federal gate.
Used lasers on Fed agents leading to 3 who may suffer blindness.

Who are the brownshirts? What are the dems upto in conjunction with the media?

The first state of Trump Induced dementia is denial. Trump's party affiliations changed like an ashewo on date drugs.

Here is some brief history of his party affiliations;
Trump was also shaming the swamp telling them how they used to flock to his office for donations Democrats and Republicans.
As a businessman he was always the good guy donating to both. In a democrat run city You have to play safe.

The Uniparty decides who runs, Trump was not theor favourite hence all the bile .
He forcefully took over the republican party thanks to 44 disastrous agenda of changing america to the left.
Thats why you have never Trumpers too who would have been happy with Hillary

Come to think of this, Trump somehow gets what he wants.

Hillary Clinton campaign started the tale of Obama being born in Kenya.
Trump ran away with it, eventually Obama released his birth certificate.

Sen Elizabeth Warren always claimed to have native American heritage. Trump mocked her, called her pocahontas (at a white house ceremony honoring Tuskagee airmen!!! ).
He offered to pay for a genealogy DNA test.
She took one which showed she only has 1/1028 of Native Indian heritage.

Trump is bragging about acing a cognitive test at Walter Reed and saying Biden cant hack it. Media is downplaying the test itself like counting 100 to 93 backwards. The burden is on Biden, if he does not take it, many will think he is hiding his dementia. If he takes , I suspect Trump knows he will not pass.
The more he delays taking it, the more people will think he is really not OK.
Joe Biden is in a rock and a hard place.

Robert Lee was fighting to keep slaves. Republican Party was formed to fight slavery and was the union army. The republican party has never changed its stance on slavery and liberty.

The Congress voted to remove 15 racist statues .What they are not saying is that of those 15 statues to be removed 13 of them were democrats.
The other 2 had no party affiliations though both of them ie
Robert E Lee : Commander of Confederate State
Army
Edmund Smith : A general in the Confederate
State Army

All the 15 statues were of mainly those who fought to keep their slaves.
And are still fighting with freebies to keep them today on taxpayers expense.Please remember

-Reduced unemployment (which Trump benefited from)
-Saved the USA from swine flu
-Deported illegals without the harassment and embarrassment that Trump's deportation caused.
Turned Libya into a shithole country
- Messed Syria, creating JV team ISIS
-Responsible for yazidi and xtian genocide Syria.
- Worst year troop deaths in Iraq and Afghan
- Worsened racial relationships
- Crimea takeover by Putin

Any wonder that Trump admin has ordered that all cases of corona to be sent to HHS.

As usual media is claiming the data may be politicised.

As if Orlando was not reporting upto 100% cases in some centres.

The Daily Caller News Foundation
reported –CDC employees since 2015
have made over 8,000 political
donations.
Only 5 donations went to Republican
causes.
This is not an accident.
It was policy to only hire Democrats.

Entrapment. Enough said. Happens all the time .

Joseph Misfud met with George Papadopoulos and told him that Russians had junk on Hillary.
GP was then scheduled to meet with Australian diplomat in London in April 2016 a Mr Downer who claimed that GP told him Russians had dirt on Hillary.
Then Strzock opened a counter intelligence on July 29th 2016.
Misfud was sent by FBI to meet with GP, then Downer was to extract that info and hand it over to FBI so they could legally start an investigation. Note Downer as an Aussie Minister funneled 25m dollars to Clinton Foundation.
Entrapment.

As for Russians indicted by Mueller , they will never show up in court .
There was no proof they hacked the DNS and handed it over to Wikileaks.
Crowdstrike CEO said under oath to congress that they could not determine if the server data ever left the DNS server from some malware they found.
Mueller never interviewed Assange at all.

All Mueller was doing was trying with the media help to create a collusion narrative. A first year law student would have started with Assange .

Mueller was creating the narrative of Russian collision in the dnc media with no evidence
yesterday the Cris Steele primary source interview with FBI in Jan 12 2017 was released. He clearly stated that he fed Cris Steel with junk beer parlour talk that FBI used to spy on Carter Page plus 2 levels up of whoever he communicated with. Effectively spying on Trump himself.

Mueller and McCabe knew there was no collusion and they started going after Trump close confidants hoping his actions would be viewed as a potential obstruction of Justice. lncluding raiding his lawyer and carrying client attorney confidential stuff.

[quote author=wirinet post=91842661][/quote]Read the Truth about Maria Butina entrapment and media blatant lies.


In the case of Maria Butina, though,
the paperwork was the hook to arrest
her and to use her failure to register
under FARA as leverage to get her to
testify about her “work.” The problem,
at least for the FBI, was that she
wasn’t a spy. As things turned out, she
really was just an overly-aggressive
Russian grad student at American
University who really, really loved
guns and was trying to ingratiate
herself with the NRA. But the Justice
Department came down on her like a
ton of bricks, forced her into taking a
plea, and sentenced HER to 18 months
in a federal prison: for conspiring to
fail to fill out a form . The federal
sentencing guidelines for a first-time
offender violating this law is 0-6
months in a minimum-security work
camp and a fine of up to $5,000. That,
apparently, was never an option for
Butina.
Forgive me if this is burying the lede,
but I also want to talk about how
Maria Butina got into this predicament
in the first place. We know that she
was very active in the gun rights
movement in both Russia and the U.S.
and that she sought to improve contact
between gun groups in both countries.
We also know that she met and began
dating Patrick Byrne, the founder and
CEO of Overstock.com. We learned
recently, thanks to Byrne himself , that
he was a longtime FBI source and that
the FBI directed him to begin dating
Butina. He did so. And he reported
back to the FBI that she was simply a
graduate student. That wasn’t good
enough for the FBI, though and,
according to Byrne, he was instructed
to go back to Butina, to begin a sexual
relationship with her, and to again
report back to the FBI. He did that,
too.
In the end, the Justice Department
accused her publicly of “trading sexual
favors” for access, an accusation that
prosecutors had to withdraw. It was
patently untrue. But that didn’t stop
them from accusing her in the press of
being a Russian spy, which she was
not. And it didn’t stop the judge from
giving her three times the maximum
sentence called for by the sentencing
guidelines.
I will ask your forgiveness again if I
sound like a broken record. But this is
how the FBI makes their cases. They
entrap people.

You guys just lie barefaced, without any regard for facts. Trump bring out the worst impulses in people.
Mueller investigation did not find any collusion between Trump campaigns. Its all over the net.

Those indicted had their charges stemming from process crimes.

Papadopoulos was in for lying to FBI over the date he met Mifsud, the FBI spy planted by Comey and Brennan

Paul Cohen indictment over tax
Manafort over wire fraud and tax
Flynn over perjury trap by FBI

some Russians supposedly over hacking. They will never appear in a courtroom

Stone over lying to Congress

None of the above had any connection to Russia collusion.
