He is totally guilty of neglect. That is something no president has ever been accused of. I hope all of your family will get through this.After 3 weeks, my brother in law has survived and is going into rehab, but he has no idea where he is. My daughter and grandson have both tested positive today. Grandson feels fine, daughter has body pain, headaches, can't smell and congestion, but as of now is still at home.
Damn, I really hate Donald J. Trump...what a piece of shit!
Vaccine on the way due ti Trump's leadership.Not only is "covid, covid, covid" still being talked about, Dirtbag's massively lethal failure to care much less do anything but sabotage almost every effort and undermine every expert has become even more obvious he turns his short attention span and efforts to make it even worse. No leadership whatsoever is something that's been there from the start and is bad enough, but his obvious goal now is to damage the operation of government beyond repair. i hope, for the sake of this country and despite his complete disregard for that country, that he'll take himself off in exile to underscore the snivelling racist, fascist coward that he's always been.

Trumpists are the only people who didn't know he was lying to smear non-Trumpists. COVID is real, it is serious, and we're headed for some real shit now. I suspect those DPers whose parents are still here very well may see a few of our number lose one or both. This really isn't a joke for people in high-risk groups. I mean, it's not for a low-risk group, but it's really not a joke for those in high-risk groups, especially the elderly.
Beyond ****ed up that Trumpists politicized this, trying to make it about liberal plots to steal their freedoms. We're trying not to repeat the Spanish Flu. No such luck. Thanks.
Any vaccine is just to enrich Pfizer who held off the announcement intentionally untli after the election as they know Americans will pay more than everyone else. because Biden won't stop them.Laughable. The most promising candidate so far was developed by a German company.
But you still think covid is a hoax, so perhaps you shouldn’t attempt to speak with any authority on it.
BS. What we call the “Pfizer” vaccine is on the way due to a German who emigrated there from Turkey. He is a scientist who heads the company that developed the vaccine. The German government helped him fund the effort. No US government help was requested or desired. He asked Pfizer to help with trials, manufacturing and distribution because they are a much smaller company and have partnered with Pfizer before. Without the German company, the vaccine would not exist. Pfizer did not invent it. Trump had nothing to do with it.Vaccine on the way due ti Trump's leadership.
2 billion is not help???BS. What we call the “Pfizer” vaccine is on the way due to a German who emigrated there from Turkey. He is a scientist who heads the company that developed the vaccine.

Nonsense. Because Biden won’t stop them? Looks like you don’t know what you are talking about. The Trump administration has already given them an advance purchase agreement. The U.S. government will pay the companies (Pfizer and BioNTech) $1.95 billion upon the receipt of the first 100 million doses, following FDA authorization or approval.Any vaccine is just to enrich Pfizer who held off the announcement intentionally untli after the election as they know Americans will pay more than everyone else. because Biden won't stop them.
Wishing the best for your brother in law and family, I feel for you and agree, Trump is a lowly piece of shit, glad he's on his way out.After 3 weeks, my brother in law has survived and is going into rehab, but he has no idea where he is. My daughter and grandson have both tested positive today. Grandson feels fine, daughter has body pain, headaches, can't smell and congestion, but as of now is still at home.

No, it’s not help with development. It’s only purchasing the product after it is developed and proven and is contingent on FDA approval. The German government helped with unconditional money for development. Big difference. The vaccine was already developed and clinical trials underway when the US agreed to purchase doses in late July.2 billion is not help???

Only half the production is going to the US.

Don't worry. His stupidity will last as long as there are people in America. The damage is already done, and it's now time to fix it.
You mean like the Adelsons, the Kochs, the Murdochs, the DeVoses, the Icahns, the Vigueuries, etc, etc, etc......The Plutocrats have returned to having their television, press and Internet propaganda outlets they own again using their endless covid-19 bioterrorism as a distraction and method to control their employees, servants and slaves (ie we-the-people/peasants).
Here are the top five richest donors to Donald Trump and their political contributions to federal races based on publicly available Federal Election Commission data as of October 14, 2020:During the second presidential debate last week, President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden argued (among many things) over who was more embedded in Wall Street. Biden accused Trump, based on a New York Times report that members of the administration briefed the Hoover Institute’s financier-heavy board at the end of February on how dangerous the coronavirus could be, of giving Wall Street a heads up while publicly downplaying the virus. Trump shot back with his own accusation.
“You're the one that takes all the money from Wall Street,” Trump said in response. “I don't take it.”
Not accurate. Two of Trump’s five richest donors run financial firms. Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman, who has a net worth of $17.8 billion, has donated $699,000 since 2017 to Trump Victory, which is the joint fundraising group between the Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign, and another $3 million to America First, a pro-Trump super-PAC, in January. Thomas Peterffy, the CEO of Interactive Brokers who is worth $16.5 billion, was an early donor to Trump’s re-election effort, contributing $250,000 to Trump Victory in 2017. The president also counts venture capitalist Douglas Leone, investment banker Warren Stephens and money manager Ken Fisher among his backers in the financial industry.
Trump’s richest donor is casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, who has a net worth of more than $31 billion. Republican megadonors, Adelson and his wife, Miriam, have spent more than $180 million on federal races this election cycle. They each contributed $580,600 to Trump Victory in February and together gave another $75 million to Preserve America, a pro-Trump super-PAC that popped up in August.
Although tech billionaire donors skew overwhelmingly Democratic, David Duffield, who amassed a $12.4 billion fortune cofounding business software companies PeopleSoft and Workday, is backing Trump. Duffield is not normally a big political giver, but in August he and his wife Cheryl contributed a combined $1.2 million to Trump Victory.
While Trump may struggle in the polls with female voters, America’s richest self-made woman is on board. Diane Hendricks, who cofounded and chairs roofing company ABC Supply and has a net worth of $8 billion, gave nearly $6 million to committees and super-PACs supporting Trump this cycle. Gail Golden-Icahn, who is married to Carl Icahn, the billionaire investor that Forbes estimates is worth $14 billion, also gave $2,800 to a committee supporting Trump. However, this year Forbes has not found any contributions made by her husband, who served as an advisor to Trump early in his presidency.
Stephen Schwarzman
Net worth: $17.8 billion
Donations to committees and super-PACs supporting Trump: $699,400 (Trump Victory); $3 million (America First Action)
Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman has poured more than $25 million into political causes this year. Far more of that has gone toward impacting congressional races than supporting Trump. Stephen Schwarzman donated $3.7 million to a pro-Trump super-PAC and to Trump Victory, but put $20 million into a super-PAC supporting Senate Republicans and $2.5 million into a super-PAC supporting House Republicans. He also contributed $2 million to 1820 PAC, a super-PAC that supports Senator Susan Collins, who faces a tight re-election race in Maine.
Thomas Peterffy
Net worth: $16.5 billion
Donations to committees and super-PACs supporting Trump: $250,000 (Trump Victory)
Peterffy got a head start on political spending this cycle, giving $250,000 to Trump Victory in September 2017. Since then, the digital trading guru has mostly laid low, giving directly to congressional and senatorial campaigns. In the final stretch of the elections, however, Peterffy gave $5 million to the Senate Leadership Fund super-PAC last month to keep the chamber out of Democratic control.
David & Cheryl Duffield
Net worth: $12.4 billion
Donations to committees and super-PACs supporting Trump: $1.2 million (Trump Victory)
With his and his wife’s combined $1.2 million donation to Trump Victory, the committee supporting Trump’s reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee, Duffield joins venture capitalist Peter Thiel and Oracle CEO Safra Catz on a very short list of tech billionaires who have backed the president’s re-election. Federal political donations are rare for Duffield, who is better known for his philanthropy — he cofounded and gave $345 million to Maddie’s Fund, an animal welfare charity named after his late miniature schnauzer.
