Viral Videos Show Teeming Throngs of Maskless Trump Fans Lining Up for Tulsa Rally

By Tommy Christopher

On Saturday morning, stunning videos featuring teeming throngs of Trump supporters circulated on Twitter hours ahead of President Donald Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma — with very few coronavirus masks in evidence.

Public health officials, including Trump administration epidemiologist Dr. Anthony Fauci, have expressed grave concern about Trump’s indoor rally, and recommended precautions like face coverings.

In that context, the videos that emerged Saturday morning could be seen as ominous, as Trump supporters packed the streets around the Bank of Oklahoma Center in Tulsa. There appeared to be little, if any, precautions being taken.

The US and South Korea discovered their first COVID-19 cases on the same day

South Korea has 280 COVID-19 deaths while the US has 121,407 COVID-19 deaths as of 6/19/2020.

One country is being run by a reality TV game show host and failed steak salesman who ran a fraudulent university and cheated on his third wife with a porn star.

The other is not.

Can you guess which one?

Thanks, Republicans.

Well. Fucking. Done.

Health experts in other countries are looking at the US with a growing sense of alarm and disbelief

I'm not sure why they're in disbelief....

Don't they know that the US elected a reality TV game show host and failed steak salesman as president?

We are the stupid country thanks to Republicans...

Trump is so fucking predictable....

Me two months ago:

The mobile phone camera is an absolute game changer when it comes to identifying racism in America

Many white people used to deny it, but it's absolutely undeniable thanks to technology.

Yet another example....

BWHAHAHA: ABC has obtained Trump's own internal poll showing him getting destroyed by Joe Biden

Internal Poll Showed Trump Losing by Wide Margin

President Trump’s first internal reelection campaign poll conducted in March, obtained exclusively by ABC News, showed him losing a matchup by wide margins to Joe Biden in key battleground states.

Trump has repeatedly denied that such data exists.

The polling data showed a double-digit lead for Biden in Pennsylvania 55% to 39% and Wisconsin 51% to 41% and had Biden leading by seven points in Florida

The poll was conducted back in March.

It's likely much worse now.

Poll: Americans are the unhappiest they've been in 50 years

Source: AP

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- It's been a rough year for the American psyche. Folks in the U.S. are more unhappy today than they've been in nearly 50 years.

This bold -- yet unsurprising -- conclusion comes from the COVID Response Tracking Study, conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. It finds that just 14% of American adults say they're very happy, down from 31% who said the same in 2018. That year, 23% said they'd often or sometimes felt isolated in recent weeks. Now, 50% say that.

The survey, conducted in late May, draws on nearly a half-century of research from the General Social Survey, which has collected data on American attitudes and behaviors at least every other year since 1972. No less than 29% of Americans have ever called themselves very happy in that survey.

Most of the new survey's interviews were completed before the death of George Floyd touched off nationwide protests and a global conversation about race and police brutality, adding to the feelings of stress and loneliness Americans were already facing from the coronavirus outbreak -- especially for black Americans.
