You need to give it a rest man. Your fake news reports are getting rather tiresome. Please entertain us with you acerbic wit, dark sarcasm and piss taking humor. We can read all that crap you serve on Twitter and Fuckbook.

Hundreds of President Donald Trump's supporters were left in the freezing cold for hours after a rally at an airfield in Omaha, Nebraska, on Tuesday night, with some walking around 3 miles to waiting buses and others being taken away in ambulances.

Seven people were taken to area hospitals, suffering from a variety of conditions, and there were a total of 30 "contacted" for medical reasons, the Omaha Police Department said in a statement. The Omaha Airport Authority had a slightly different figure of the number taken to hospitals it said six were "throughout the duration of the event" and added that it could not confirm that the people were taken to hospitals because of the cold.

The temperature in the area was in the mid-30's at the time, but as low as 27 degrees with wind chill.

Many of those at the rally at the Eppley Airfield faced hours in long lines to get in and clogged parking lots and busy crowds to get out, hours after Air Force One departed around 9 pm The police said the last person was loaded onto a bus at the rally site at 11:50 pm about three hours after the event had ended.

On Wednesday, Joe Biden said the incident was emblematic of "Trump's whole approach."

"Just look what happened last night in Omaha, after the Trump rally ended, hundreds of people, including older Americans and children were stranded in sub-zero freezing temperatures for hours," Biden told reporters during a brief speech in Wilmington, Delaware. "Several folks ended up in the hospital. It's an image that captured President Trump's whole approach in this crisis. He makes a lot of big pronouncements, but they don't hold up."

The police department said 25,000 people had been taken to the rally site by 40 buses running from 10:00 am Until the rally began at 8:00 pm.

According to dispatches from the department, recorded by the radio communications platform Broadcastify, at least 30 people including the elderly, an electric wheelchair user and a family with small children were among those requiring medical attention after hours of waiting in the cold.

"Supporters of the president were brought in, but buses weren't able to get back to transport people out. It's freezing and snowy in Omaha tonight," Nebraska state Sen. Megan Hunt tweeted.

NBC News has reached out to the Trump campaign, Omaha Fire / EMS and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office in Omaha and has not yet received comment.

"There's an issue with a number of people unable to find their cars and wandering in the cold. See if we can't get everybody reunited with a car," the Omaha police Dispatch 1129 recording said, according to Broadcastify.

Fifteen states across the nation are reporting record hospitalization numbers. In Utah, health officials are on standby to convert the Salt Lake City Convention Center into a field hospital for the second time.

Just 18% of the hospital beds in Tennessee are still vacant and available. Their ICUs have only 13% available.

Oklahoma is even worse off with only 11% of hospital beds available.

North Dakota is now down to having only 20 ICU beds still available.

How are you going to cope with socialism in your country? Hahaha. You might have to learn to speak Chinese soon to appease your slanty eyed paymasters who will soon be owning you. Hahaha. Do you think Harris will poison Biden's nightly glass of warm milk to take control of the world sooner? Do you think her Chinese masters will enjoy pounding her tight Indian asshole each night? Will they make her go ATM so that she gets to lick the curry off their dicks? Will she swallow Chinese cum? So many questions and so few answers. We will wait three weeks to find out.

Do you think mongers will get swept up in the storm if Trump is re-elected for a second term? Certainly, a Biden win will put an end to the great awakening and septuagenarians will continue to spit roast Pinays in Flipsville for a pittance.

(CNN) You know Covid-19 is out of control when health officials are so overwhelmed, they can't notify close contacts who may be infected.

That's what's happening in North Dakota, one of 31 states suffering more new Covid-19 cases this past week compared to the previous week.

Contact tracing is crucial to finding possible carriers of coronavirus, so they can quarantine and break the chain of infection.

But a "sharp increase" in new cases has engulfed contact tracers, leading to delays and "a backlog of positive cases that have yet to be assigned to a case investigator," the North Dakota Department of Health said this week.

"Close contacts will no longer be contacted by public health officials; instead, positive individuals will be instructed to self-notify their close contacts and direct them to the NDDoH website, where landing pages will be created. Explaining the recommended and required actions for both positive patients and close contacts."

The North Dakota National Guard has shifted 50 soldiers from contacting close contacts to notifying people who have tested positive, the state health department said.

'No safe period of time' to be maskless with someone outside your bubble.

Let me provide some numbers related specifically to North Dakota's Covid-19 situation:

North Dakota is the fourth smallest state in population at around 762,000 residents.

According to the North Dakota Department of Health, there is a total of only 1,877 total staffed hospital beds in the entire state.

They are going to need more available beds soon, as their % of staffed beds available is today only 11.61% (Less than 140 available beds).

Some recent days in North Dakota have generated over 1,000 new cases per-day. With that volume of new cases, you have to expect that in less than a month North Dakota will have between 50 to 100 new Covid hospitalizations daily, and their current available hospital capacity won't have enough room to handle it.

Army hospital ships, like the Mercy, don't have anywhere in North Dakota to dock up and help with the expected overflow of patients.

There are many states with populations twice to five times the size of North Dakota. California's population is roughly 50 times larger.

According to a 2019 Gallup poll, 40 percent of women younger than 30 years would like to leave the USA Canada is the top destination for these would-be migrant American women. These young women clearly prefer socialism to servicing septuagenarian marshmallows. Meanwhile, all of the elderly male sex tourists are heading to Southeast Asia to live out their last days as wily old hymen busters.

On the other hand, only 20 percent of men younger than 30 would like to leave the USA However, as they approach 50, the numbers are similar to that of women. Most likely, many of these fellows have turned into sexual refugees looking to spend their later years in the developing world busting hymens.

How do you think these migrants will respond to coming deep cuts to social security payouts to those residing overseas? Pension withdrawals will be heavily taxed to pay for the recent and upcoming economic stimuli. Do you think septuagenarian American sex tourists fleeing to Southeast Asia will readily acclimate to a diet of rice and fish head soup?

(CNN) Members of the White House coronavirus task force are praising a move by Twitter removing a misleading tweet from top Trump adviser Dr. Scott Atlas that told Americans masks don't work.

The tweet's removal was a "relief" among some task force members, Dr. Deborah Birx told friends over the weekend, according to a source with knowledge of the conversation.

Atlas, a neuroradiologist and President Donald Trump's hand-picked coronavirus adviser, had undermined the importance of face masks with misinformation in a Saturday Twitter post.

"Masks work? NO," Atlas wrote, followed by a series of misrepresentations about the science behind the effectiveness of masks in combating the pandemic.

The tweet and its subsequent removal comes as coronavirus cases spike across the US and other members of the task force have taken to the airwaves to urge Americans to heed basic mitigation strategies, including mask usage and social distancing.

According to the Washington Post, Birx recently confronted Vice President Mike Pence's office about Atlas, saying during a meeting "that she does not trust Atlas, does not believe he is giving Trump sound advice and wants him removed from the task force."

Sources have also told CNN that Birx has told friends fighting the virus is "hard enough (without Atlas)."

I guess we can call Biden the "TV Town Hall TV ratings winner" since the early reports have Biden on ABC garnering 12.7 million sets of eyes compared to Trump and NBC with 10.4.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...553&si=1462369

Calling him a winner is deflated by him missing an audience like the September debate carried on 16 networks to a audience of 73 million viewers (and rerun to over 2 million more).

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/30/b...e-ratings.html

Joe had something to show & teach specifically to the 17.8 million (of that +73 million crowd) that watched the first debate via the fox network.

Also in the month of May, Trump whined on camera about how awful the experience of taking a Covid test was, with it's intrusive and uncomfortable swab insertions (I guess it tickles the brain, or whatever Trump has in that space).

With Trump disliking the test. And his propensity to not do what everyone else has to do (like pay taxes) if he doesn't want to.

I suspect Trump had no testing, or only a few token tests performed during the entire months of June, July, August and September.

During all four of these months the White House kept billing the president as the 'most tested person in the world'. When the White House announces something that's hard to believe, only his stupid followers actually believe. I believe Trump's Covid testing record for these four months is empty or nearly empty.

And that the only thing more embarrassing than the White House's refusal to release the testing records, is what would be disclosed if they were released.

It's time to put the petulant child and his koolaid drinkers on the sidelines. Then Republicans can reclaim their party and rebuild. Vote.

[Engine Driver]

Agreed. I'm not a Biden fan, he's way too far to the right for me. The majority of the democratic party is as corporate as the republican. And is beholden to the same donors. But I'm holding my nose and voting for him because I truly believe Trump has been a disaster for the United States. Hopefully enough true progressives can ride in on Biden's coattails and we might actually see meaningful change such as universal health care, paid education, and maybe at some point four weeks paid vacation, a UBI, and good pensions for everyone.

How are you going to cope with socialism in your country? Hahaha. You might have to learn to speak Chinese soon to appease your slanty eyed paymasters who will soon be owning you. Hahaha. Do you think Harris will poison Biden's nightly glass of warm milk to take control of the world sooner? Do you think her Chinese masters will enjoy pounding her tight Indian asshole each night? Will they make her go ATM so that she gets to lick the curry off their [Deleted by Admin] dicks? Will she swallow Chinese cum? So many questions and so few answers.

So Trump is starting his 'Airport Hangar Tour' today in Orlando Florida (Sandford International Airport). The next three days he plans to visit hangars at Johnstown Cambria County Airport in Pennsylvania, Des Moises International Airport in Iowa, and Pitt-Greenville Airport to double-down on Pennsylvania's 20 electoral college votes.

The President's Press Secretary and his top doctor (TSD-Top Spin Doctor) announced that the President tested negative for Covid for two consecutive days.

They refused to say which two consecutive days they were (how coy they are), but the smart money is on Sunday and Monday (yesterday & today). Before it happened, the President yesterday said he was going to get tested later on Sunday (yesterday).

As far as specifying earlier testing dates, the last one actually reported for the President was on Thursday, October 1st, and the results came back positive.

Thursday October first was a busy day that should not have been busy. On that Thursday (10/1), Hope Hicks tested positive. Later that day, Trump then decided to go to a fundraiser at his New Jersey private club in Bedminster NJ. In an evening interview with Fox news that same Thursday, he said he and Melania "are being" tested and an hour past midnight Trump announced that he and Melania tested positive. It was later reported that Trump had experienced symptoms before he was tested, not sure if symptoms began on Thursday, or days earlier.

Any doctor willing to discuss the matter all say that the President was wrong wrong wrong WRONG to visit Bedminister after learning of Hope Hick's positive test results before starting that New Jersey trip.

Any doctor, except those employed to care for the President, will likely state that Trump had enough (and close enough) contact with Hope Hicks, to reasonably only take the action of going into quarantine / self-quarantine following Hope Hicks diagnosis.

The day before, Wednesday September 30th, Trump and Hicks and a full campaign entourage crammed into Airforce 1 and most went to suburban Minneapolis to a private home stuffed with wealthy mid-westerners for a fundraiser, followed by an airport hangar event in Duluth MN. Hope Hicks felt very sick soon after arriving in Minnesota. I don't know if Hope Hicks attended the suburban fundraiser, but she did not attend the Duluth hanger campaign rally but instead went to the airplane and tried isolating herself aboard Airforce One (using what as a barrier? A combination of airplane pillows, cocktail napkins and barf bags? The "self-isolated" fever-blind Hope Hicks stayed on Airforce 1 and flew back to Washington DC with Trump and everybody else.

If Trump had known that Hope Hicks was actively shedding disease, I'm sure he would have sprung for a coach ticket to get her off of AF1, without caring about giving Covid to more Americans on another commercial flight.

So when was Trump's last negative Covid test before he tested positive on a test taken on Thursday October 1st? Trump won't say nor allow anyone else to say when.

The White House last reported a Trump negative Covid test result multiple times way back in the month of May.

Also in the month of May, Trump whined on camera about how awful the experience of taking a Covid test was, with it's intrusive and uncomfortable swab insertions (I guess it tickles the brain, or whatever Trump has in that space).
