TGHusker Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Just in time for Trump's big rally in Tulsa: https://www.star-telegram.com/news/coronavirus/article243485396.html Quote A Whirlpool plant in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has temporarily closed due to a coronavirus outbreak one week before President Donald Trump will visit the city for a rally. The factory employs more than 1,600 workers, though it’s not clear how many have been infected with COVID-19, according to KOTV. Whirlpool plans to re-open early next week and has already completed contact tracing on the infected employees, the company said. Link to comment

None of them would be a suitable mask to keep from contaminating something as critical as sterile swabs. Or that picture is being used out of context..... Edit- after reading the article, scrapping the masks produced during the tour was always planned. It had nothing to do specifically with Trump not wearing a mask. These types of portrayals are why we can’t believe anything anymore. Link to comment

I've seen this guy be kinda funny before, but this is really a swing and a miss. Interestingly enough, there have been times in this country where automobile deaths were considered an epidemic -- one of the biggest killers in the U.S. -- and the issue was researched, steps were taken, and cooperation between the federal government and automakers significantly reduced per capita auto fatalities. Yes, there was no quarantine of cars involved. But given the choice, nobody would go back to the "freedom" of less safe cars and highways, either. 1 Link to comment

I know a few more ways we can make driving safer...but I better not post them . Haha One thing (I thought this was my billion dollar idea) when you are at an intersection and going to turn left...and you have a car approaching and the light changes to yellow, so you look at that approaching car to try and figure out if they are slowing down or speeding up...right? So, why no brake lights on the front of cars? Then you would know...seems safer. I researched it a few years back and there is already a patent on that idea...I was so pissed! 39 minutes ago, JJ Husker said: Im gonna call BS on this one.

Yep...That is why I have said that no matter who is writing or reporting, it is tainted. Maybe not even in an evil way but it is like when you retell a story from work...your spin is now on it.

If we have a shortage of swabs and they know before hand that they would discard a bunch just because of the visit....then why visit? Or, why not visit, but not tour the production area? Fact is, Trump doesn’t give a s#!t aBout anything as long as there is a photo op. 2 Link to comment

I just took some issue with it being portrayed as "this idiot stumbled in and ruined a day's production by not wearing his mask". That isn't what happened. There is way more than enough real things this particular idiot does and says. IMO it does a disserve by purposely trying to make them appear even worse. If everyone simply stuck to the absolute truth, in context, I believe it would provide less excuses for his supporters. 1 2 Link to comment

The title was misleading. 1 Link to comment
