    It is wrong, as those numbers are for the US, worldwide the fatalities are higher.

    They won’t bother with data. We’ll get lies and attacks, regardless of the data.

    Why wait for Bernie? You can go to Venezuela today!

    Or, you might like Cuba?

    I gave you trusted information sources, and you come back with American Thinker? Not only are they far right, they are considered to be a "questional source" for factual information.

    https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/american-thinker/

    If that's where you get your "news," that explains why the facts haven't crossed your path. I've read that article before, and it has been completely debunked. I urge you to step outside your comfort zone, get out from under the right wink fact-free bubble, and get news from one or two of these neutral sources:

    https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/center/

    Yeah, there's a lot there. Try AP, the Christian Science Monitor, Cook Political Reports, Military Times, Politico (don't laugh ... they DO have a good, unbiased rating), Reuters.

    I have not believed in the 2 party dichotomy in a long long time. If ever, really.
    They are on each side of the same coin.
    They are very good at pushing people's buttons to get fingers pointing.
    As long as they keep the sheeple pointing fingers, they can run legislation that eats away at our freedoms and liberties. See Patriot Act and similar.
    Ben Franklin said, Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790}.

    And I was shocked when the so called freedom loving Republicans basically crawled up Bush II backside in agreeing with the loss of all those freedoms in the Patriot Act.
    That's when I new the R party doesn't care about freedom either. And they certainly don't care about debt/deficit that they whined about for 8 yrs.
    All those things don't matter to the party in power.
    If one looks at actions, one will see neither party works for everyday Americans.

    Take ACA, any movement at repeal or replace? Nothing. It's here to stay.

    It is a really ****ing dumb idea for the president to call any aspect of the virus a hoax. Even if you think it is perfectly clear what specific aspect he was calling a hoax, there will be a certain segment of the population who do not pick up on the nuance and will take him at his word that the virus is either not real or the threat it poses is not significant.

    Obviously Trump is Completely DELUSIONAL.

    And the "hoax" comment is utterly indefensible.

    The only saving grace is that Nobody (Repeat NOBODY) believes anything that he says.

    No, my friend. They’re as fresh as Bernie’s Cuban defense.

    Us Conservatives like it here just fine, it is you Liberal Progressive Enlightened Democrats who long for Socialism. Hence, Venezuela and Cuba for you.

    Maybe, North Kore too but I heard, it’s cold there.

    Trump fixed almost everything Obama and his Merry malcontents
    screwed up.The Economy.
    Our Open borders.Our historic level of Obama rules & regulations.
    The Middle east being a tinderbox.
    Israel being bullied and targeted.
    Our Middle Class.And their wages.
    Our first amendment right.And the 2nd amendment.
    Right to chose a school of a parents choice and means.
    Right to decide what bathroom to choose for ones's
    children.
    Right to be free of the constraints of Climate Change thugs.
    Who are like Al Capone bootleggers during Prohibition.

    Or, there is a certain segment of the population who will twist what he says and lie about it in order to deceive the rest of the people.
