Im sure there is some seriousness in his comment, but he's also trying to distract from the announcement (a few minutes earlier than his tweet) that the US GDP fell 9.5 percent, "the fastest pace on record." He has no shame in floating some unconstitutional nonsense to incense democrats and distract from his total and utter failure.

In more hopeful news, John Lewis asked the Times to print an opinion on the day of his funeral. It is full of hope and encouragement. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/30/opinion/john-lewis-civil-rights-america.html

Herman Cain died from Coronavirus - one of the Tea party Orange nightmare supporters who was at the Tulsa rally!

@meliaamal the US GDP fell 9.5 percent, "the fastest pace on record." 

According to the Guardian, actually the GDP fell 32.9%, "The annualized figure is the largest drop in quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) – the broadest measure of the economy – since records began in 1945." https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/jul/30/us-gdp-economy-worst-quarter-covid-19-unemployment

As much as DT projects literally everything, I've always had the feeling that the whole "Hillary pizza place pedophile ring" was something that Trump was aware of or involved in himself. Then came Epstein and Maxwell and Trump wishing her well after Epstein is almost certainly murdered and the anonymous court doc drop. Now we have Trump seemingly randomly hawking a pizza place on twitter. Am I the only one who feel these can all be connected? 

I'm not one to chase conspiracy theories but those are a lot of dots that are definitely capable of being connected.

@mas1581

I think it's all distraction.

As for pizza - don't forget that the pizzeria in DC didn't even have a basement, let alone a pedophile ring operating in it. (I have been in that pizzeria myself, long before "Pizzagate".)

Correlation is not causation.

@triciact  Saw that this morning.  I'm wondering if Republicans might begin to be more serious about the virus if they start seeing their own dying. Numbers don't seem to touch their hearts.  I understand that Louie Gohmert's contraction of the virus along with his practice of walking around in Congress unmasked also made Republicans angry not to mention his staff who were required to be in the office.  It feels like it's all falling apart for them on this issue.  My state, MD, just put a pause on reopening and Hogan's been careful here.

Topic starter  

Masche Gessen, a Russian born journalist who won the Pullizer prize for her reporting on the Russian state, has penned this article comparing Trump's U.S. to post soviet Russia.

I believe we will survive this lowest point in U.S. history, but it helps to see with open eyes what Donald Trump is doing.

Love Masha Gessen.

She was recently on Samantha Bee's show.

Best takeaway quote [paraphrasing]: "It's not to late to fix this, I have hope. Don't f*ck it up."

@mas1581 @journeywithme2  Herman Cain was the CEO of Godfathers Pizza.  So on the day he dies, his good friend Donald tweets about supporting some other pizza joint.    Way to hit a guy when he's, uh...   down.
