While I don't agree with this, I still thought it was funny...

Well, yeah. I've seen no evidence that Fauci has knowingly and intentionally lied to the public for some sort of political ends. In contrast, this is Trump's basic DNA.

Who ya gonna trust?

The President has far bigger responsibilities than Fauci. Fauci is only interested in keeping people healthy. Were he to have his way, we'd all live in a bubble until a vaccine comes out. Trump has to weigh that vs the effects on the economy and how it impacts people's lives.

I am bothered by how Fauci frequently does 180s. How are we supposed to take what he says as Gospel if he's liable to change it two weeks later. One recent example of this is sending kids back to school. At one pint he said that they shouldn't go back till there's a vaccine. Then he changes that and says that they should go back in the Fall. What gives?

I wasn't really defining the Republican Party, just the Trump version of it. For the Democrats, or at least what their platform seems to be, is Equality, Civil Rights, Healthcare. As a voter I've become fine with anyone but Trump just as Republicans were with anyone but Hillary.

They have run on these platforms for years and have continued to fail communities of color. The prey on their votes

Speaking of prey on their votes, have you been to church lately? I remember something about them needing a Supreme Court Justice to pack the courts because Democrats are baby killers. We don't get Trump without that campaign.

I certainly see your point. But two things I think we should consider - 1) There is a constant stream of new information about the virus. This happens everyday. 2) None of us know how free Fauci has been to say what he wants to say. Trump's been trying to minimize COVID since January. I wonder if Fauci's been told to say something he didn't agree with and later corrected that information.

Uh...you are as wrong as possible. Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a Democrat sponsored bill that became law. How did that law fail communities of color?

What Black Americans Lost by Aligning With the Democrats
Democratic lawmakers drafted civil-rights legislation that would challenge Jim Crow laws in the South while leaving de facto segregation in the North intact. When NBC News asked the civil-rights organizer Bayard Rustin why many African American communities rioted the summer after the bill passed, he said, “People have to understand that although the civil-rights bill was good and something for which I worked arduously, there was nothing in it that had any effect whatsoever on the three major problems Negroes face in the North: housing, jobs, and integrated schools…the civil-rights bill, because of this failure, has caused an even deeper frustration in the North.” Today’s protest movements against second-class citizenship in Baltimore, Ferguson, Oakland, and elsewhere are in part a legacy of the unresolved failures of civil-rights legislation.

There is a conspiracy behind each and every of life’s occurrences. 2 weeks from Saturday, assuming Dotard puts on his dog and pony show against the wishes of OK’s health officials, predictably there will be a rash of new cases. It will be Obama’s fault of course. Someone will swear they say his ears protruding from behind a tree

When have they had an opportunity? Every time a Republican ventures into a community of color you have the all mighty bought and paid for Al Sharpton calling them a white devil. But the tables are turning, this is one of the founding members of BLM

You didn't answer my question, most likely because the Republican's haven't done 5 things to help minority people.

For starters
PolitiFact - Is African-American, Hispanic poverty at all-time low?

The GOP’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which every single Democrat in Congress opposed, includes Opportunity Zones. These areas “offer tax incentives for businesses to invest in economically distressed communities, making them a powerful vehicle for economic growth and job creation,” a White House statement explains. Across America, 8,761 communities have been declared Opportunity Zones, not unlike the Enterprise Zones that the late Congressman Jack Kemp (R., N.Y.) advocated during the Reagan era. “Through these tax incentives, we will jumpstart our American communities, create momentum for economic recovery, and attract investment to diverse areas across our Nation.”

Among his earliest acts, President Trump welcomed to the Oval Office the heads of historically black colleges and universities. He launched a White House office to assist HBCUs. These educators identified year-round Pell Grants as one initiative that sprang from their dialogue with these alleged racists.

Trump made Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s burial site a national historic park. Obama had eight years to sign such a proclamation, but he couldn’t be bothered.

Trump and Jared Kushner, his Orthodox Jewish son-in-law and senior adviser, consider criminal-justice reform a major issue. They are working with Congress to give second chances to nonviolent offenders, which would reunite tens of thousands of black families.

The back and forth of R and D is too comical, so listen carefully everyone:

You do not matter, your lives do not matter, no politician cares about you.

Both parties actually are just one in the same, just different colors and disguises that supposedly represent both ends of the spectrum's and everything in between, when in reality, they both only care about keeping and protecting what is theirs, not yours.

The parties are one in the same, until you understand that they both laugh and think you all are dumb, poor, peasants, and serfs and easily used and manipulated, nothing is going to change......LOL, AND......nothing has, same issues and same lip service and same eventual laughable election coming up that will rehash and give the same lip service and promises given decade after decade.

Start working against both of these non solution having corrupt entities and figure out that.... we the people are our only hope.

And, watching the country, that isn't too much of a hope.

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers.

Let me give an update on this crazy ride.

My daughter is now home. She will be fine.
Both of my grandchildren have tested positive, but fortunately don’t appear to be showing any symptoms.
My girlfriend and I were both tested on Monday morning and are awaiting the results.
I’m expecting that the results will be positive based on the way we’ve been feeling over the past week. Nothing major, just a mild version of mostly all the symptoms.
Just about everyone in our family circle has been tested and are awaiting the results.
Quite a few have symptoms, but none close to as bad as my daughter who ended up in the hospital. Honestly, if it wasn’t for her landing in the hospital, we may have went through this without even knowing.
Luckily, early on we all had decided to severely limit contact with my parents (who are both 78) and all other elderly family members.

To the best of my ability, I’m going to try to keep a running tally of everyone who is affected by this situation. Hopefully, it will pass through with only the one hospitalization.

Thanks again for the prayers. GBO

Well it’s official. Test results came back positive for Covid. Also, my girlfriend’s results were positive as well. Neither of us are dealing with any major issues. My biggest issue is being stuck in the apartment. Lol

Haven’t had a day where I actually felt sick in about a week, so I’m assuming that I’m mostly done with it. My girlfriend had about a 3 day stretch where she felt really bad, but is feeling much better now as well.

I’ll post results as others within our circle receive theirs. Right now it stands at 4 positive, 1 negative, 1 hospitalization.

Thanks again for the prayers. Apparently they’re working. GBO
