This debate is a disgrace. What an embarrassment to the United States of America. Trump’s conduct and comportment are an outrage. He is a blustering, lying, bullying and incompetent fool.

There must never be a secret police in the United States. Who are the heavily armed men with no identification, no badges, no markings. Who refuse to identify themselves. This is an urgent matter. Who are they ?

Pop psychology catastrophizes normality, positions it as a “crisis,” rebrands it as “psychological trauma,” and lends it gravitas that it doesn’t deserve. This diverts our attention—and mental-health $$—from the real crisis: an abandonment of people with serious mental illnesses.

Tonight the American people and more importantly, graduating High School students will hear from the 44th President of the United States. Though he was never my candidate, he was always my President. He served with dignity and honor. Tonight we should all enjoy the respite

The absolutely hysterical, hair-tearing, manic reaction by Trump’s allies and media fluffers over “Mourning In America” tells us one thing: Hit him again. Hit him harder. Never back off the throttle.

Trumps daily briefings are profoundly dishonest, delusional, confusing and erratic. The virus will not disappear anytime soon and the worst will not be behind us by June and it won’t disappear in the fall. Trumps handling of this crisis has been deadly. His ineptitude (1)

This is the tweet of a loser and failure, who kind of knows it
Sleepy Joe Biden was in charge of the H1N1 Swine Flu epidemic which killed thousands of people. The response was one of the worst on record. Our response is one of the best, with fast action of border closings & a 78% Approval Rating, the highest on record. His was lowest!

WORTH REPEATING: In 2018, Trump fired the entire US pandemic response team. These were the experts with decades of experience dealing with precisely the kind of situation we are in today. Trump did not replace them. He eliminated the positions. popular.info/p/unprepared

This is how a president speaks. This is what a president does.
Biden blows Trump out the water and fills the presidential leadership vacuum that Trump is incapable of handling. #CoronavirusPandemic

Devin Nunes should be expelled from Congress. He has brought upon it grave dishonor.
BREAKING: US Rep Ted Lieu just called on Devin Nunes to be removed from the Intel Cmte. Nunes threatened to sue Lieu for saying Nunes conspired with Lev Parnas. Lieu’s response to the threat letter from the lawyer for Nunes was “they can take that letter and shove it.” Awesome.

Donald Trump posted a doctored photo with Democratic leaders dressed as Muslims. Trump’s press secretary said he did it to show that Democrats support terrorism. That offensive suggestion that all Muslims are terrorists must be condemned by Republican leaders. Beneath contempt.
