Six campaign staffers working the rally in Tulsa have tested positive.
Hilarious
1. Why is this hilarious?
2. I wonder how many have (or will) test positive as a result of peacefully protesting the past few weeks or participated in rioting? I'm going to go out on a limb and say it will be more than six. Should this be considered hilarious too? I sure as hell don't think so.
People getting this virus in whatever way they get it is not a laughing matter.
Unbelievable.
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

You are right. So why aren't masks obligatory for this rally? Why so many packed into such a small venue?
Be interesting to see if we can chart the actual cases spread as a direct result of this stupidity and ignorance - and sadly the deaths also.
And yes - I'd do the same for the protests as well.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
We just had a US president, on live tv, refer to COVID-19 as the “Kung flu”.
If this is the kind of behavior you like out of a president, don’t complain about being ruthlessly mocked.
You’ve more than earned it.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
thats all you got? cant defend trump so just play whatabout.
again, you deserve to be ruthlessly mocked.

lmfao, swear i've seen more people at a cleveland monster's game than the pathetic crowd here. so much for that million request for tickets hahahahahahaha

There's nothing to defend. For months before the virus escaped china, it was called the wuhan flu. Later it was called the Chinese Corona virus. Suddenly, the leftist media decided the name would be covid-19, and called everyone mentioning China a racist. Crisis created. Just another example of how ridiculous the left media can be.

Surprise surprise. Erik doesn’t have any problem with trump calling it Kung flu.
Pathetic, but expected.

What level of outrage are you looking for here? I just listened to it and it was tacky but we are way past labeling him as tacky. He's definitely tacky. He doesn't act presidential. I think that has been established for a long time now. If his supporters haven't jumped ship by now, kung flu isn't going to change that.
Do you think it was derogatory? I could see that. It certainly doesn't help. But I think passing legislation to not call it the Wuhan flu because it's racist is kind of wacky too.
Both are dumb. One is just way more tacky than the other.
And all this board does is duck and dodge. No one ever addresses anything. Every question or issue is answered with a similar situation from the other side. Both sides do this, especially the most frequent posters in this forum.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...
Im looking for acknowledgment that this is wrong and completely out of line for a president to be displaying such low character as to to make bigoted and arguably racist comments during multiple crises in this country.
Sorry but I will not normalize this trash and make excuses for it like you are. We are not and will not be on the small wave length.
Stop making excuses for trash.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Mr. Trump was furious about the unused outdoor stage and the comparatively thin crowd in the stadium, according to two people familiar with his reaction. News broadcasts carried video of the partially empty stadium, and even the Drudge Report, a reliably conservative website, carried an all-caps headline that said “MAGA LESS MEGA” with a picture of rows and rows of empty blue seats.
The disappointing turnout came as Mr. Trump already found himself under siege about his sudden firing of the U.S. attorney in Manhattan and his losing legal battle over the release of a memoir full of damaging revelations by John R. Bolton, his former national security adviser. And in Tulsa, Mr. Trump faced criticism for ignoring pleas from officials about health risks to rallygoers and for restarting his “Make America Great Again!” rallies in a city where a white mob massacred hundreds of black residents 99 years ago.
In rambling, grievance-filled remarks, Mr. Trump made no reference to the Tulsa massacre of 1921 or to George Floyd, whose death at the hands of a white police officer in Minneapolis last month spurred global demands for racial justice. He also did not mention Juneteenth, which marks the end of slavery in the United States and fell just a day before his rally.

You want to talk facts after this steaming pile of nonsense? Lol.

This was not the context of your question. Your question was specific to what he said today and that specific phrase. Now you're changing the context to serve your broader crusade.
For the record I think Trump has failed miserably the last few months. He's had multiple opportunities to step up and be a leader and has fallen on his face. When he should have been trying to bring the country together, he was doing anything but. He has likely cost himself reelection. That's a good thing right?

I'm not making excuses. I asked what level of outrage you were looking for. I didn't realize I was in the midst of a bait and switch...comment on one thing, then throw everything else in there in subsequent posts and feign maximum outrage.
And if you want people to stop making excuses for trash, is there anyone on here that will hold both sides accountable for the trash? I'll give you some kudos. I've seen you do it from time to time. I think you are one of maybe five people who can discuss these topics rationally and objectively - when you want to. But for the most part, this board has become a breeding ground for venting everyone's latest emotional outburst. Kinda like you did here.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...
what question? you're the one who responded to me, and you asked a question and i answered.
imma be honest bro i didnt read anything else after that.
do you have a problem with the president calling it the kung flu virus?
if not, why?
lets see if you can actually answer that without blaming "the left". lets see if you can actually stay on topic instead of playing what about.
your "for the record" doesnt mean much to me right now. i've heard more spin than actual denouncing of the presidents comments. the message you think you're sending is not the message being received.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
this should be a very easy exercise, but instead its like pulling teeth.
cant talk about anything with out "what about" and spin spin spin.
y'all like ballerinas on this board.
im actually sticking to the topic and talking about what trump said in this speech, but instead i got two dudes trying to pull the convo somewhere else then act like im the one dodging.
all i can do is laugh.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
I thought it was tacky, unpresidential, and lacking of leadership. Did I think it was racist? No, I did not take it that way. Is Trump racist against Asian people? I have no idea. Was it in poor taste and unbecoming of his title? Yes, I believe it was.
Was that enough outrage? Was the volume high enough? Did I use the right words? How about my tone? Was it just right or a tad off? Are you actually reading these words or did you stop after the first sentence? Am I typing for nothing? Was I supposed to cover another topic?
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...
thats exactly that kind of response i was looking for. actual thoughts on the specific topic.
cool, what to discuss anything else on the topic of trump's disastrous campaign rally?
if you wanna get into an argument about the left and whatnot, there's other threads for that.
but i wanna discuss the topic of the thread. wanna talk about how a community college basketball team gets more turnout than trump's rally tonight?
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Hasn’t stopped millions of protesters who wear masks the last few weeks has it? The few trump supporters that turned out In Tulsa was a hard slap to trump’s face. Enjoy.

2.3 million cases of Covid 19. 121,293 Americans dead.
And trump makes jokes about Kung flu.
How presidential.
Especially in light of the fact that many of those deaths are the result of the lack of his leadership to take corrective actions that would have prevented those deaths.
Dude... Your freaking location says Portland. Have you seen the people's beliefs that live there? Like 99% of them are completely irrational and socialist. They are way out in left field and I mean way way out there. They want big government, big programs, less freedoms, less borders, illegal immigration, 30 dollar minimum wage, universal health care. Get out of here with that nonsense!!
