Trump supporters and conspiracy theory - Part 2

Well, what do you expect when these sheep listen to the lying right wing media and Criminal Donald's corrupt administration telling them the virus is "fake" and a "hoax". All them should be brought up on criminal charges for the 600,000+ deaths they caused. People still reduse to wear masks or get vaccinated because of their lies.


Unvaccinated Americans are catching COVID-19 and telling doctors they're 'shocked' the virus is real

Doctors are voicing frustration as Americans continue to be hospitalized for coronavirus despite the widespread availability of a free, safe, and effective vaccines.

"It is heart-wrenching to see unvaccinated individuals come into the hospital with regret," Dr. Ryan Dare of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock told NBC News.

He told the network the hospitalizations are "nearly 100 percent preventable."

He noted treating clients who, "if they could do it all over again, would have had the vaccine in a second."

On Tuesday, Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson admitted his state was "losing ground" in the battle against the pandemic.

Across the border, public health professionals are also struggling to deal with the Detla variant of the virus.

"It's just a mess," said Dr. Mayrol Juarez told NBC News. "Everybody in the hospital is doing extra shifts, calling out for other hospitals to help."

Juarez reported he has patients who are "shocked" that coronavirus exists and can be fatal.

"A comment they make all the time is that they wish that they knew they were going to end up in the hospital this sick and they would have made a different choice and got the vaccine," he said.

Wyoming is also suffering, with only a 35% vaccination rate.

Dr. Andy Dunn, a family physician and chief of staff at Wyoming Medical Center in Casper, said he is "beyond frustrated."

"Whether it's the cowboy way or whatever, the mentality of so much of Wyoming is just 'we're not doing it.' It's really horrible and heartbreaking," he told NBC News.

Don't let right wingers attempt to rewrite history. Criminal Donald was a disaster and his failed policies destroyed America including a deep manufacturing recession in 2019. Not to mention the millions of jobs he lost in 2020. Criminal Donald is the worst jobs "President" in modern day history.


Trump pledged to revive the manufacturing sector. But it just fell deeper into a recession

Dec 2, 2019

Donald Trump pledged to revive American manufacturing.

But the sector slipped deeper into a recession in November, with a key gauge of factory activity contracting for the fourth straight month.

New orders and employment in the sector dropped at a faster pace last month.

Manufacturing slipped deeper into a recession in November, with a key gauge of factory activity contracting for the fourth straight month.

The Institute for Supply Management said on Monday that its factory-activity index fell to 48.1 from 48.3 a month earlier, sliding back toward a decade low in September. A reading below 50 indicates contraction.

New orders and employment in the sector dropped at a faster pace last month. A tit-for-tat tariff dispute between the Trump administration and China has piled onto pressure in the manufacturing sector, which has also grappled with a broader slowdown in factory activity abroad.
   
"Global trade remains the most significant cross-industry issue," said Timothy R. Fiore, the chair of the ISM Manufacturing Business Survey Committee. "Overall, sentiment this month is neutral regarding near-term growth."

Donald Trump won over Rust Belt states in 2016 on pledges to revive American manufacturing, arguing that tariffs would ultimately help win fairer policies for the sector. Select factories benefited from those measures in 2017, but the support was only temporary.

A spate of manufacturing companies has over the past two years requested relief from those tariffs, which have raised costs for importers and disrupted global supply chains. Manufacturers shed 2,000 jobs in September, with those losses concentrated in swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

"We doubt the gap will close anytime soon, absent a resolution to the trade war," said Ian Shepherdson, the chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.

The US and China announced an interim trade agreement in October but have clashed over key economic stipulations. Manufacturing accounts for less than 12% of gross domestic product, but it is deeply tied to broader activity in the economy.

Where is the link to the story about Avenatti going to prison for extortion?  The liberal darling of CNN who tried to blackmail Trump.  He should have gone to jail for that shakedown but karma is a beyatch as they say.  He apparently cried during his sentencing.

Where is the link to the story about Avenatti going to prison for extortion?  The liberal darling of CNN who tried to blackmail Trump.  He should have gone to jail for that shakedown but karma is a beyatch as they say.  He apparently cried during his sentencing.

How far up among Democrats do you think this Avenatti got? The "Washington Post" in late-2018--when Avernati was at his peak for consideration--ranked Avenatti 14th out of 15. His demeanor, criminal activities, bankruptcies and defrauding clients put me more in mind of Trump and bilking scrams like Trump University.

The Democrats were reluctant to propel a con artist like Avenatti to the forefront. They have better gatekeepers than the Republicans.

I'm not sure what you mean by how "far up" he got among Democrats.  Avenatti was on the liberal media shows every night for months.  He was touted as a saint because he was smearing Trump.  CNN even suggested he run for President while Avenatti was trying to do to Trump exactly what he did to Nike.  Extort money.  He should have been prosecuted for that attempt at blackmail.  Imagine that your client has a consensual affair, demands money and is given money, signs a nondisclosure agreement, then threatens to reveal the details of the affair unless she is given more money.  It is classic blackmail scenario for which any other person would have been prosecuted.   

Who can forget this infamous CNN headline:  "President Michael Avenatti? Never say never!"

Trump is legally liable for MAGA riots -- and his actions are a 'spectacular example of incitement': legal experts




Four experts on first amendment law say that former President Donald Trump is legally liable for the January 6th riots at the United States Capitol building, as they say he directly incited violence against lawmakers.

Law and Crime reports that top legal scholars Floyd Abrams, Erwin Chemerinsky, Laurence Tribe, and Martha Minow this week filed an amicus brief on behalf of a lawsuit against Trump filed by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) over the twice-impeached former president's role in inciting the deadly riots.

To put a fine point on it, the scholars call Trump's rhetoric before the riots "the most spectacular example of incitement and 'true threat' in American history," and they say he is legally liable for the destruction his supporters caused.

The scholars also brush aside Trump allies' claims that his rhetoric ahead of the riot -- in which he told his fans to "fight like hell" and march to the Capitol -- are simply political speech.

Additionally, the scholars say that Trump violated the Ku Klux Klan Act and other statutes by mounting what amounts to a political intimidation campaign against members of Congress to stop them from certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election.

FBI busts Capitol rioter who impersonated member of the press




Matthew Thomas Purse milled among the mob on January 6 at the U.S. Capitol wearing a black tactical vest and helmet both bearing the letters, "PRESS," the FBI reports. He was arrested Friday.

Purse, of Irvine, CA, was seen in photos and videos "entering through the Columbus Door on the eastern side of the building, carrying a long black pole, with what appears to be a recording device at the end of the pole," the criminal complaint states.

The FBI said it was able to identify Purse from photos and videos showing him "wearing a black tactical vest with the words "PRESS" on his chest and back, and a black helmet with the words "PRESS" on either side.

"FBI received information from a confidential source ("CS"), who saw Purse on a livestream on Twitch, a livestreaming platform, believed to be taken on January 6, 2021. During the livestream, Purse, wearing the helmet, 'seems to admit he is not with press.' The CS further described Purse stating to the camera, 'Mission accomplished, we broke into the Capitol.' The video has been since deleted."

It doesn't appear that Purse was the most enterprising fake newsman. Here's how the FBI reported on his time in the building:

"Purse appeared to be standing off to the side, observing the crowd's interactions with the law enforcement officers. At approximately 3:03 pm, as the crowd became more volatile, as depicted below in the red box, Purse crossed the room and exited the Rotunda".

The FBI noted it "does not believe that Purse is a member of the press media or associated with having press credentials related to the U.S. Capitol. (It confirmed that) Purse did not receive any credentials from the Capitol.

"Moreover, (an FBI agent) could not find any employment history for Purse for the last six years while Purse has resided in California, or any employment history ever related to any news media organization."

Purse faces disorderly conduct and unlawful-entry charges. You can read the full FBI criminal complaint here.
