Folks, I hate the Blogger interface.
I will keep reminding you that it's difficult to post now that Google rolled out their new interface. It deletes posts. Trust me, I am one of millions who are really not feeling this. Google will find its reckoning.
Nonetheless I keep saying this.
WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!
VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS!
BLACK LIVES MATTER
PROTECT BLACK WOMEN!
HER NAME IS BREONNA TAYLOR!
VOTE 🇺🇸
Trump was so happy to get out of the White House. He literally managed to fly down to Sanford, Florida for a campaign rally at the Sanford-Orlando International Airport. The state has one of the worst cases of COVID-19. The event had a bunch of attendees. Some didn't wear any facial protection.
Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis also appeared at the rally and even shook hands with maskless attendees. Trump continues to defend his handling of the pandemic by claiming he's doing more than most presidents ever done.
"Under my leadership, we’re delivering a safe vaccine and a rapid recovery like no one can even believe," Trump insisted. "If you look at our upward path, no country in the world has recovered the way we have recovered."
We are reminded that this city is the place where that disgusting turd killed 17-year old Trayvon Martin.
It was the Philadelphia, Mississippi moment for Trump.
Trump is struggling to hold onto Florida. He announced that he will do more campaigning to keep momentum going. Trump proclaimed himself healthy and took the podium maskless at the rally despite only a week-and-a-half after testing positive for the coronavirus.
"I don't have to be locked up in my basement and I wouldn't allow that to happen anyway," Trump said to his supporters.
Trump is hoping to capitalize off of being "cured" of the coronavirus by resorting to attacking Democratic rival Joe Biden by referring the former vice president as "hiding in the basement" and "Sleepy Joe." The former vice president pulled negative ads from the campaign and offered well-wishes to the president and First Lady Melania Trump.
If Biden caught the coronavirus, you won't see Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Republicans, Fox News and conservative agitators offer any sympathy or condolences to him or Dr. Jill Biden.
Claiming he's cured of the coronavirus, Trump also asserted that he is "immune" from the virus moving forward, through some medical professionals said there is no guarantee of that.
"Now they say I'm immune. I just feel so powerful," Trump said. "I'll kiss everyone in that audience. I'll kiss the guys and the beautiful women and the.... I'll just give you a big, fat kiss."
Trump claims that Biden is a part of the "Washington establishment." He was praising the stock market and the Republicans quickly rushing to confirm Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, and savaging the junk food media for reporting on his illness. He said that COVID-19 vaccines are on the way. The vaccines are not going to be available by the end of the year.
Trump's plans to travel to Florida, Pennsylvania, Iowa and North Carolina shows that he's struggling. Biden is either tied or leading in most polls and Trump is concerned that the coronavirus will doom his presidency.
Trump also took a moment to dance to the Village People's songs "YMCA" and "Macho Man."

The robust schedule highlights the urgency he is facing to recover from a series of self-inflicted setbacks that have rattled his base of support and triggered alarm among Republicans who fear the White House is on the verge of being lost to Biden.
And it comes amid still-unanswered questions about the impact so much travel so soon could have on the 74-year-old president’s health. The progression of COVID-19 is often unpredictable, and there can be long-term complications.
After Air Force One lifted off from Joint Base Andrews, the president’s doctor released an update on his health that said Trump had tested negative for the virus — and had done so on consecutive days. His doctor, Navy Cmdr. Scott Conley, said the tests, taking in conjunction with other data, including viral load, have led him to conclude that Trump was not contagious.
For days, the White House had sidestepped questions about whether Trump had tested negative. Conley over the weekend said that the president met Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria for safely discontinuing isolation and that by “currently recognized standards,” Trump was no longer considered a transmission risk.
There was no evidence of any new health precautions, although more passengers than usual on Air Force One, including U.S. Secret Service agents and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, were seen wearing masks on board.
Trump’s decision to so quickly return to the campaign trail drew criticism from Biden and other Democrats.
"President Trump comes to Sanford today bringing nothing but reckless behavior, divisive rhetoric, and fear mongering," Biden said in a statement. "But, equally dangerous is what he fails to bring: no plan to get this virus that has taken the lives of over 15,000 Floridians under control."
Trump continued to mock Biden for his efforts to encourage social distancing at his campaign events, deriding as “crazy” the circles Biden’s campaign uses to delineate individual space.
"He’s got a lot of bad days coming," Trump said at another point.
This is what we're dealing with.
