To refuse to act as most humans due, if only out of courtesy. Donald j trump is a little little man. His "stature" decreases with every sentence he utters. And to those who say I should respect trump bec he has the title of "president" I say no, he has relinquished any expectation of respect, now and for his lack of respect and mercy for his fellow man throughout his life.

MSNBC - John Lewis, was a remarkable American. His life a true example of Love. I think in this time, at this time, his last words are as important, clear sighted and as timeless as MLK's I have a dream speech. Non Violent, Good Trouble, Equality FOR ALL - period! Your providing the air time and Morgan Freeman reading John's words - that is the journalism YOU should and must do EVERYDAY! That honest, that pure, that important. PLEASE. Thank You.

Donald Trump quotes on covid: February 10th - “By April, when it gets a bit warmer, it will miraculously go away” February 25th - “We’re very close to a vaccine” February 26th - “We have 15 cases and within a couple of days that’s going to be down close to zero so that’s a pretty good job we’ve done” February 26th - “The infection seems to have gone down over the last 2 days. We’re going to be at 5 people pretty soon. And we could be at just 1 or 2 people over the next short period of time” February 28th - “This is the democrats new hoax” March 6th - “It’s going to go away, hopefully at the end of the month” March 11th - “We’re more prepared to fight the virus than any other country. The virus doesn’t stand a chance against us” March 13th - “I don’t take responsibility at all” March 16th - “I rate my handling of the outbreak as a 10 out of 10” March 24th - “We never shut the country down for flu” April 10th - “I looks as though we’ll only have 60,000 deaths, which is substantially lower than what any of the scientists thought” April 16th - “We are past the peak” April 23rd - “We have one of the lowest mortality rates in the world” April 23rd - “Suppose we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light. Supposing you brought light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some way” April 24th - “Disinfectant knocks it out in 1 minute. Can we use that? By injecting it inside the body?” April 25th - “There might not be a 2nd wave once we reopen. It might not come back at all” May 3rd - “We’re going to lose anywhere from 75,000 to 100,000 people” May 5th - “With or without a vaccine, it’s going to pass” May 13th - “If we did less testing, we would have less cases. So in a way, by doing all of this testing it makes me look bad” May 21st - “When we have a lot of cases, I don’t look at that as a bad thing. I look at it as a good thing because it means our testing is much better. So I view it as a badge of honour. Really, it’s a badge of honour” June 15th - “If you don’t test you don’t have any cases. If we stopped testing right now we’d have very few cases, if any” June 17th - “The virus is dying out” June 19th - “I have done a phenomenal job with covid” June 19th - “Testing is a double edged sword. So I said to my people slow the testing down please” July 1st - “I think that, at some point, it’s just going to sort of, disappear” July 4th - “We’re well on our way to a tremendous victory over this virus” July 10th - “Texas and Florida are going to have it under control very quickly” July 13th - “Testing is a double edged sword. When you test you create cases, so we’ve created cases” July 13th - “We have the lowest covid mortality in the world” July 17th - “We are the envy of the world for how we’ve dealt with this” July 27th - "The governors should be opening up states" Vote this liar out!

EXTREME NARCISSISM MEETS UP WITH EXTREME STUPIDITY!: - At CDC about coronavirus: “Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability.” - 3-7-2020, Trump - “I am chief doctor” - 3-10-2020, Trump - “By April . . . when it gets a little warmer, coronavirus miraculously goes away,” - 2-10-2020 (a theory debunked by infectious disease experts.) - “The same vaccine could not work? You take a solid flu vaccine, you don’t think that would have an impact or much of an impact on corona.” - 3-3-2020 - “We have thousands of, hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work” - “When you test, you find something is wrong with people. If we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases.” -5-14-2020 - "People are dying who have never died before." - 3-18-2020 - “Staying at home leads to death” - 4-10-2020 - “I really think, doctor, you want to treat this like you treat the flu” - Trump - When Trump was asked “What do you say to Americans that are scared?” Trump answered “I think you’re a terrible reporter” - 3-20-2020 - “Katie, she tested very good for a long period of time and then all of the sudden today she tested positive... This is why the whole concept of tests aren’t necessarily great.” - 5-8-2020 (Duh, Trump, that’s how pregnancy tests or any medical tests work - one day you test negative because you don’t have it and the next day you test positive because you do.) - “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China.

And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you're going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds -- it sounds interesting to me." - 4-23-2020 (While looking in the direction of coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Birx and Department of Homeland Security science official Bill Bryan) - Trump said "very powerful light" could be used to "hit the body…or suppose we brought the light inside the body...either through the skin or in some other way." (When Trump asked Birx if she has heard of the use of heat or light related to the virus, she said, "Not as a treatment.") - 4-23-2020 - “When you see them going into those hospitals and they’re putting the stuff that you deliver, but they’re wrapping themselves and the doors are opening and they’re going through the doors and they’re not even ready to go through those doors.
