We lead the world in testing.  It is no surprise that we lead the world in DISCOVERED cases of the virus. 

No one knows how many cases other countries really have.

Heck, even here, no one knows.

Bob

Wow! I really don't know what to say Bob. I'm guessing you watched the Wallace interview to get this idea in your head? 800 dead yesterday in the US. After so many months fighting the virus that number is really high. If only we didn't report our deaths then there wouldn't be anything to worry about and we could go on living our lives We have a serious health emergency in our country and it has nothing to do what other countries are doing.

Didn't the Mueller probe basically say there was collusion with Russia? Sorry but that is what I came away with, no matter how much he denies it.

AND, obviously, I have no proof, but at the time, I would have bet my bottom dollar that the Russians interfered with some of the votes in PA. The vote was so close and all they had to do was make a 'few changes' in some remote polling place to swing the state to Trump. And don't say it couldn't have happened? It could have and IMVHO it did. yes, I cannot prove it, but you also can't say positively it didn't go down that way.

I agree Lenn, I saw it as collusion as well. Trump called it a hoax so his cult followed orders and saw it that way as well.

This should be Biden's entire campaign. He should air these clips, and just add "Is this what you want next time we are faced with something disastrous?". he doesn't have to do anything else. They speak for themselves.

Fox News = xxxxxxxx Central and the scariest part is this is where our president gets his ideas

It's amazing the things you are willing to believe, but I make a statement and you doubt me (despite my history of careful vetting and statements)

Rich: Exactly who is "allowing" the Governor to do that?   Who has the power to stop him?  Bob

Bob- I believe Rich is referring to the Georgia governor filing a lawsuit against the mayor of Atlanta's must wear a. mask order with the hopes of not making wearing a mask mandatory. I will look for a link.

You know the old saying about the dog biting you once, shame on the dog, if the dog bites you twice shame on you.

The right/Trump-supporters/GOP were bitten once (with FOX and Trump downplaying the threat) and instead of avoiding the dog they decided to adopt him 

It's sad Rich but true. I don't think we needed Trump to tell each state exactly what to do but he could have guided them a little better. For example, Trump and Fox News were pushing the cure is worse than the disease or something like that. All the Trump talk of "we've got to open up our economy!" Trump rallies in Tulsa with no masks or social distancing required, and now Trump saying schools must open no matter what. All of these things are examples of Trump and his crew promoting bad practices that have led the US to the horrific number of new cases each day. Trumps words lead to actions because we have a lot of not so bright folks that are his followers, see Florida governor.

Just found the Fox News victory lap video, enjoy!

Fox got it wrong from the start and then jumped on the Florida and Texas early reopen plan. Yep, they got that one wrong again.

Rich: I saw an article making a case (for Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and southern California) that most of the current increases are from proximity to the border and protests.  I have no opinion on the issue now.  Bob

Bob, I don't agree with Trump's policy/behavior etc... but I do admire your faithful defense of everything he does. This most recent post by you though is disappointing to me because it isn't the type of stuff you would normally post. No link to the article is fine but if you have no opinion on the issue why would throw something like this out there? Today's cultish America is not able to decipher this kind of stuff. I can see it now on Fox News, Is Black Lives Matter responsible for the recent spike of Corona virus cases? Mexico brings criminals, rapists, drugs and now the Corona virus to US border states! By the time the research is done proving this not to be true the damage is already done.

These are great, but I sure do miss Albany.

This is great! I will have this open to see how we do tomorrow.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mojo at camp one summer. I was the new guy at the picnic and he really went out of his way to make me feel welcome. We talked for a while and he really made an impression on me, I was very saddened to find out I would never have the chance to meet him again as I read the Mojo chronicles. I always enjoyed reading the posts from Gabes and I really appreciated the kind posts he would send me when I might get offended by the back in forth that would go on in the old message board. CA to me was the ultimate fan. I thought I loved the Giants, but he took it to another level. I remember one post he shared about his game day rituals not to mention his dedication to Giant history. All great members of this board, and all dearly missed.
To you all, I check in here every day, and I've been doing that for the last 20 years or so. You all are like family to me.

Good points Bama. Here's to making a great site even better. Thanks in advance to Rich and co. for all the work they do to make this happen.
