So, after Trump LIES AGAIN THROUGH HIS TEETH, saying 200,000 deaths were predicted "if

we did everything right, like I did, which prevented two and a half million deaths", the former CDC director, Dr. Besser, I believe, was asked what he thought of the Trump's statement.

He said he was afraid that Trump had "addressed a different reality" than what we see in our country. ---"addressed a different reality"----------

Is there anything wrong with being obviously incensed---offended---PISSED OFF at the lying maniac whose lies cost American lives? Isn't "different reality" just another way to say "alternative facts"?

People who get screamed at and threatened for posting anti-Trump and pro-Biden signs have a very hard time listening to such namby-pamby milquetoast bullshit by people too chickenshit to be genuine!

So he did a great job. A+

I’m getting to the point I have to limit my intake of news it’s all so discouraging.

Couldn't help but notice that reporting of deaths slowed down just before Labor Day.
