Hollywood director Judd Apatow launched yet another ridiculously outrageous attack on President Donald Trump, this time blaming the tens of thousands of deaths from coronavirus on him and all Republicans.
“He normalized being insane but we will vote Trump and all Republicans out in November,” the “40-Year-Old Virgin” director tweeted on Monday. “They care more about their power than helping people. None stand up and say the President is inept and that is a dereliction of duty. As a party they are responsible for thousands of deaths.”

Apatow is one of many Hollywood stars who have been blaming COVID-19 deaths on Trump and his fellow Republicans despite the fact that the illness originated in China and has killed thousands of people all over the world.
“I think [the Senate Majority Leader] and all of these politicians should be prosecuted when this is done for the lies which cost thousands of deaths,” Apatow said after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called out Democrats for focusing on impeachment while Trump was dealing with the threat of coronavirus. “He knows Trump is a con man who lied to everyone to delay bad news and that led to thousands of additional deaths. They are all murderers.”

Apatow has spent years relentlessly attacking Trump in the most obscene ways possible. “He’s a Nazi. He wants no judicial process. He kidnapped children and commits acts of violence for political gain and to support his racist views,” Apatow said of him in 2018. “He admires violent dictators. Trump is a Nazi. The debate is over. Soon we will have proof he is a Nazi supported by the Russians.”

It takes a special level of narcissism to think that directing comedies like “Knocked Up” makes you an expert on politics. Apatow doesn’t realize that the more he tweets about Trump, the more he shows that he’s just another Hollywood elitist who has lost all touch with reality. As President Trump himself would say: SAD!

CNN anchor Don Lemon went hard against Donald Trump on Sunday, taunting the President and asking why former President Barack Obama gets “under” his “skin” so much.
After President Trump re-tweeted a conspiracy theory that Obama was “running the Russian hoax,” Lemon said the Commander-in-Chief’s re-tweet “a new low from a president who goes low all the time.”

Lemon said that it was “a shameless attempt to distract from” Trump and the administration’s “mishandling” of the COVID-19 crisis.
Then his rant went into comparing Obama and Trump.
“Hm. Boy, oh, boy, that’s leadership,” Lemon said after playing a clip of Obama talking about the coronavirus pandemic. “That’s compassion. It’s too bad that President Trump can’t show either. By the way, what is it about President Obama that really gets under your skin? Is it because he’s smarter than you? Better educated?”

Lemon then played a clip of former President George W. Bush speaking about the coronavirus. The CNN host called it an example of “a real president showing compassion for his fellow Americans.”
“How does President Trump respond?” Lemon said. “Predictably, he makes it all about him, about his wounded pride, his constant airing of grievances, tweeting that former President Bush didn’t defend him on impeachment.”
“How about showing some compassion?” Lemon added.

President Trump took a jab at George W. Bush after the latter made a rare public statement to address the nation during the coronavirus pandemic.
In a video message posted over the weekend, the former President called for an end to partisanship in the midst of the crisis, something America experienced in the days following the 9/11 tragedy.
“In this time of testing, we need to remember a few things: First, let us remember we have faced times of testing before,” Bush stated. “Following 9/11, I saw a great nation rise as one to honor the brave, grieve with the grieving, and to embrace unavoidable new duties.”
“Let us remember how small our differences are in the face of this shared threat,” he concluded. “In the final analysis, we are not partisan combatants, we are human beings equally vulnerable and wonderful in the sight of God. We rise or fall together.”

Bush seems to have forgotten how Democrats, almost immediately after the nation rallied around him, tore him apart in the following months and claimed they never supported his response to the 9/11 attacks.
On its surface, Bush’s plea for unity is a genuinely solid message … in normal times.
But these are not normal times. And Trump would like to know where Bush has been with his calls for coming together when Democrats were raking him over the coals from day one, pursuing impeachment hoax after impeachment hoax.
The President quoted Fox News personality Pete Hegseth in a tweet Sunday stating, “Oh by the way, I appreciate the message from former President Bush, but where was he during Impeachment calling for putting partisanship aside?”
Trump added his own thoughts: “He was nowhere to be found in speaking up against the greatest Hoax in American history!”

Understand that there has been a deep past of contentiousness and highly charged political rhetoric amongst the Bush family and the President.
That said, since when are emotions and pride supposed to dictate what great leaders do?
Trump’s correct – if this crisis is enough to coax Bush to ask for an end to partisanship, then it should equally have been of importance to try to bring the nation together when Democrats were distracting the nation with an impeachment witch hunt that wasted the time of lawmakers and likely distracted them from the coronavirus crisis in the first place.
Perhaps had he asked for unity then, there could have been a non-partisan response to the pandemic.

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) made an outlandish claim that many American lives would have been saved from the coronavirus pandemic if only President Trump had been impeached and removed from office.
The House Intelligence Committee Chairman told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes that his inability (along with other impeachment managers) to convince the Senate that Trump was guilty and should be removed “haunts” him.
“I don’t think we had any idea how much damage he would go on to do in the months ahead,” Schiff claimed. “There are 50,000 Americans now who are dead, in significant part because of his incompetence, because of his inability to think beyond himself and put the country first.”
“I don’t think we would have ever anticipated that his brand of narcissism and his brand of incompetence would be so fatal to the American people,” he asserted.

There is a whole boatload of stupidity to unpack in those comments, not the least of which is that Schiff seems unaware – perhaps because he was focused on impeaching rather than governing – that the President had already taken significant steps to slow the spread of the virus.
While the resistance party was plotting their impeachment gambit, Trump was setting up a coronavirus task force, ordering more testing and ventilators, restricting travel from countries known to be battling the virus, and declaring a national emergency.
The first reported case of coronavirus in the United States came on January 21st. The impeachment charade ended in the Senate on February 5th.
Is Schiff really under the impression that Trump’s ouster and Vice President Mike Pence’s takeover of the presidency (he is Chair of the coronavirus task force) would have led to different results? Especially when it had already been in the country for two weeks at least, likely longer?
Adam Schiff says 50,000 Americans are dead because @realDonaldTrump wasn’t impeached.

Representative Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), has already debunked the claim that more should have been done by President Trump in the month of February.
“You keep calling February this lost month, it’s really not,” Crenshaw told HBO star Bill Maher previously. “It’s just an easy, cheap accusation because there’s no big bold moves taken like there was in January or like there was in March.”
Crenshaw noted that even as of March 3rd, there were still only 100 coronavirus cases in the United States and that Americans weren’t going to accept a lockdown at that point.
Which makes Schiff’s point moot.

Anybody with a working set of eyes and ears is aware that it was the impeachment hoax that took Congress’s focus off of the coronavirus.
It was Schiff and his Democrat colleagues who bogged down an entire nation with their little impeachment dreams while the coronavirus was beginning to flourish.
Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino responded to Schiff’s claims, spitting fire on Twitter:
Known liar, clown, fraud, oxygen thief, serial hoaxster, and all-around garbage-person, sleazy Adam Schiff is doing everything he can to make this awful situation worse. There aren’t many people walking this planet who’ve done more damage than this sleazeball.
Buckle up. He’s about to do much further damage.
Schiff vowed two weeks ago to conduct a thorough investigation into the Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
“We are diving deeply into what does the intelligence community know, what resources we would bring there, and what do we need to do prospectively to better protect the country in the future,” he announced.
That means another investigation – we’ve already endured Russia, Ukraine, emoluments, etc. – to drag America down even further.
While the President will be working diligently to revive America from the economic devastation wrought by this pandemic, Democrats will be working feverishly to slow him down yet again.
Meaning they will have even more blood on their hands when victims of suicide due to the financial crisis, or domestic violence victims due to lockdown, suffer while Democrats play politics.

Democratic Congressman and presidential impeachment ringleader Adam Schiff said on MSNBC Sunday that his party must insist that “every American” have easy access to voting by mail.
Schiff said of President Trump, “I’m more worried he will try to disenfranchise millions of Americans then try to put off the election. He’s already talking down absentee voting, making false claims about the reliability of absentee voting even when he votes by absentee himself.”

“But he has openly admitted, and it is rather startling to hear him say out in the open, that he believes that’s more Americans vote, more would participate in our democracy, and he and other Republicans couldn’t get elected,” Schiff said.
“That may very well be true, but that is not a reason to disenfranchise people,” Schiff continued. “It’s a reason to change their platform. But I do think that like they tried in Wisconsin, the Republicans may try to force people to choose their vote or our health and we need to insist, and I think needs to be a very important point in terms of protecting the health care of our democracy, we need to insist that every American in the fall if they choose to do so, has easy access to voting by mail with a postage-paid ballot.”

Pressley made the remarks during a virtual press conference on Facebook, a social media entity that at least pretends they’re cracking down on misinformation.
“As far as I’m concerned what’s happening with this administration, it’s akin to war crimes,” the wildly misinformed congresswoman stated. “Criminal negligence, science denial, a sluggish response.”
Her statement leaves little doubt that the radical left truly does believe that Trump is responsible for the deaths of those who succumbed to a virus that originated in China.

That didn’t stop the President from saving lives, as Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has said the travel ban did.
“One of the things that we did very early and very aggressively, the president put the travel restriction coming from China to the United States and most recently from Europe to the United States,” Fauci said.
Any idea what Pressley and the Democrats were doing then?
They were actively pursuing the ‘No Ban Act‘ which was designed to restrict the President’s authority in implementing new travel bans.
They were trying to prevent the President of the United States from saving lives during a pandemic.

President Trump on Sunday explained to reporters why Senator Mitt Romney was excluded from a White House task force on opening up the economy during the coronavirus crisis.
The administration announced last week a panel of congressional members known as the “Opening Up America Again Congressional Group.”
Those chosen to discuss supply chains, the Paycheck Protection Program and “ways to energize the economy,” included several Democrat lawmakers as well as all 52 of Romney’s GOP colleagues.
Mitt was on the outside looking in.
The President was first asked if Romney being left off the task force meant he was holding a grudge against the only Republican to vote for his impeachment.
“Yeah it does,” he replied.
Trump then explained why Romney, an accomplished businessman and former governor, was left out. It was a short answer, but sometimes simple is better.
“I’m not a fan of Mitt Romney,” he concluded. “I don’t really want his advice.”

Romney (R-UT) was the only Senator to cross party lines and vote to convict President Trump in the Senate impeachment trial. The same trial that took media and congressional focus off of the coronavirus pandemic that was brewing at the time.
Perhaps had Congress been formulating a plan to stem the tide of the virus instead of focusing on an impeachment sham, there would have been less of an economic impact on America in the first place.
“It came up while we were tied down in the impeachment trial,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said of the pandemic. “And I think it diverted the attention of the government because everything every day was all about impeachment.”
Romney helped make that happen.
In response to question from the Salt Lake City Tribune, Pres Trump admits he deliberately excluded @SenatorRomney from his Reopen America advisory group. He included all Senate Republicans but Romney. “I’m not a fan of Mitt Romney. I really don’t want his advice,” said Trump.
