    You know what. I'll be the better man here and eat my words.

    https://www.politifact.com/factchec...osi-wasnt-caught-trying-add-abortion-funding/

    The argument wasn't over abortion is was to ensure abortion facilities did not receive funds. I have checked a dozen sources and there was no argument over whether abortion facilities were included, but rather the language wasn't specific in excluding abortion facilities from receiving emergency funds. It was remedied and passed promptly.

    I will admit my fact checking has become more lax because the stream of diarrhea coming from news outlets has been a lot to process.

    I will however stand by the statement on spying. Its no good in this argument, however I remember reading articles on a few reputable non-conspiracy sites about how they were trying to track our cellphones like Korea. Republicans blockaded it for 70 or so days. It doesn't change anything, but it doesn't enhance it either. I'll try to find a good source but right now my quick google searches can't. The search facilities on the congress website are garbage as well so keyword searches like "intelligence gathering" or "emergency cell phone" don't bring up anything really interesting.

    Confirmed Coronavirus Cases Are Growing Faster In The United States Than Any Other Country In The World

    New York Times: “Mr. Trump is no stranger to crisis. He has spent a lifetime grappling with bankruptcy, fending off creditors, evading tax collectors, defending lawsuits, deflecting regulators, spinning reporters and dueling with estranged wives, usually coming out ahead, at least as he defines it. But these were crises of his own creation involving human adversaries he knew how to confront. Nothing in his background in business, entertainment or multiple marriages prepared him for the coronavirus pandemic now threatening America’s health and wealth.”

    “Mr. Trump’s performance on the national stage in recent weeks has put on display the traits that Democrats and some Republicans consider so jarring — the profound need for personal praise, the propensity to blame others, the lack of human empathy, the penchant for rewriting history, the disregard for expertise, the distortion of facts, the impatience with scrutiny or criticism. For years, skeptics expressed concern about how he would handle a genuine crisis threatening the nation, and now they know.”

    Politico: “Team Trump is rushing to rewrite the early narrative about the president’s response to coronavirus. Faced with endless video clips of Donald Trump downplaying the escalating outbreak, Trump aides and allies are working furiously to instead highlight the president’s recent actions and comments.”

    “Their effort comprises three tactics: Blanket supporters with detailed timelines of every action the Trump administration took. Amplify praise of those actions. And forcefully push back against anyone who criticizes those actions.”

    dude keeps stepping on landmines. Thanks Donnie for the rally today and tomorrow. The video of you pushing to re-open the country yesterday in a week will still be out there & the body count will keep piling when you eventually flip flop.

    Trump steaks, vodka, wines (remember his older brother drank himself to death) and now Trump Kool-aid.
