We’ve never backed a Democrat for president. But Trump must be defeated.

The authors are on the advisory board of the Lincoln Project.

This November, Americans will cast their most consequential votes since Abraham Lincoln’s reelection in 1864. We confront a constellation of crises: a public health emergency not seen in a century, an economic collapse set to rival the Great Depression, and a world where American leadership is absent and dangers rise in the vacuum.

Today, the United States is beset with a president who was unprepared for the burden of the presidency and who has made plain his deficits in leadership, management, intelligence and morality.

When we founded the Lincoln Project, we did so with a clear mission: to defeat President Trump in November. Publicly supporting a Democratic nominee for president is a first for all of us. We are in extraordinary times, and we have chosen to put country over party — and former vice president Joe Biden is the candidate who we believe will do the same...

@Brand X,
Nothing like people who spend their day hoping Trump and this country fails. And then make a meme so everyone can be just as pessimistic and miserable. Thanks.

Democrats Demand Trump Stop Building Border Wall During Coronavirus Crisis

Quote:
“While our country to combat the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, continuing border wall construction places local communities at unnecessary risk,” the Democrats wrote. “We request that during this crisis, all border wall construction halt immediately.”

The group of Democrats claims that construction workers helping to build the border wall cannot possibly be practicing social distancing measures and that money allocated for the border wall should be reassigned to aid in the coronavirus fight.

Democrats continued in the letter:

At this juncture, the priority of the United States must be to stop the spread of COVID-19. The continuation of wall construction compromises those efforts. For these reasons, we ask that you take all steps necessary to ensure that border communities are protected from the unnecessary risk of infection during this pandemic and utilize critical resources to combat the spread of COVID-19.

Good luck with that. I think Trump will keep going.

@Wilso,
The graph on your link lends the lie to the headline. USA is nowhere near the deaths per million people, of nations like Spain and Italy.

That, and the fact that hospitals are being instructed to record the deaths of everyone with matching symptoms, as having died from the virus.

Your article does not factor in deaths called deaths from Covid 19 that are presumed. With records like that we will never know what the mortality rate is. That is not the truth it is speculation.

Beds needed

Turns out they are not. Many hospitals have half their beds available.
You article is more get the USA bullshit and omits so many facts it is near unreadable.

Fox's Jeanine Pirro praises Michigan protests against COVID mitigation efforts and says there will be more “all over the country”

Pirro: “What happened in Lansing today? God bless them, it’s going to happen all over the country”

Fox has been pushing towards this for a couple of weeks. Today we saw protests and blockages. The obvious precedent is Tea Party activism. Somebody is organizing this and I'd wager that the Koch's Americans For Prosperity are the who.

There were no blockages. You are lying, which is no surprise.

It has nothing to do with the Tea Party. Show us a connection. "Tea" stands for taxed enough already.

@Builder,
Covid19 deaths are spiking, yesterday and today. The final tally is still dying here, because we're well behind the timeline of spain and Italy. As yogi said, it ain't over til it's over.

@Builder,
and 23000 avoidable deaths which is just going to go up is still 23000 deaths too many. I know conservatives don't actually have flesh and blood hearts, just little machine calculators in there, but still...

They were not avoidable. This is a virus that does not listen to rhetoric.

@coldjoint,
It doesn't listen to trump's nonsense either. Had he listened to scientists and doctors and warnings and done something a month earlier instead of waiting for a miracle, many of those would have been saved. How does it feel to be an enabler?
