Trump Tweets
3 years ago, after Jeff Sessions recused himself, the Fraudulent Mueller Scam began. Alabama, do not trust Jeff Sessions. He let our Country down. That’s why I endorsed Coach Tommy Tuberville (@TTuberville), the true supporter of our #MAGA agenda! https://secure.winred.com/tommytuberville/donate @deanbaquet is to be seriously respected. He has long been considered one of the dumbest men in the world of journalism, and he became Executive Editor of the Failing New York Times. Not easy to do. He has given up on “figuring Trump out”. Called it all wrong from the.... ....beginning, was forced to apologize (Fake News!) after the seriously wrong call of the 2016 Election, and is now willing to write anything, even if not truthful. He laughs at his boss, Publisher A.G. Sulzberger, and I laugh at them all. The @nytimes is a total mess! |

That is a trump Tweet, I only added the bit in italics because he posted this with no indication as to the subject matter or what it referred to?

From the little bit that I've heard from Mitchell on the radio, that sounds like him.
Dictionary.,com defines a sycophant as "a self-seeking, servile flatterer; fawning parasite." No, Billy, you're not a sycophant but you are a self-seeking, servile flatterer and a fawning parasite |

"Coach Tommy Tuberville"
That can't be a real name, can it? Tell me this is a character in a cartoon like "Veggie Tales" or something..... |

To be honest, I would let the people who worship Trump think that he has that power, and let them all congregate (in triumph over the Deep State conspiracy!) in large groups together for long periods on a regular basis.
At this late stage of their denialism, it is going to need a disproportionate number of actual self-perpetuated deaths across their communities, from infants to elders, to drive home the reality of the COVID situation and their abject stupidity. Plus it will reduce their voting numbers overall, now and in the future. Really, if there are going to be unavoidable COVID deaths due to defiance, it may as well be them. |

Republican-driven, 18-month investigation into Florida ‘voter fraud’ turns up ZERO voter fraud
Just not quite prosecutable offenses by Republican, by the look of it. Broke the law, but no provable fraudulent intent is their defense of that choice. Trump's repeated claims of voter fraud going on at the time seem to be baseless. Such a shock. |

To poke at that... the breaking the law in question doesn't fall under fraud so much as allowing unlawful means of voting for some uncertain number of voters in a very heavily Republican area. Specifically, voting by e-mail.
Of course, I think that we're all pretty well aware that if a Democrat did it, the Republicans would be howling outrage from the rooftops. |

Alright, then, Mr. Super Ignored! Have a response.
Based on that description, honestly, it could be the case easily enough, but... "cherry-picking" comes to mind. Care homes are a very mixed bag, so to speak. There are plenty of good ones, I think, but there are also a heck of a lot of ones where the people being "cared for" are outright abused on a regular basis. Systemically, there's serious problems in a number of ways. Still, here's a not so random link that touches on some basics of the subject. From that, some important and quick takeaways are -

Hey great, someone can see my posts. I should correct something from my first post, I read a little bit more about the case and apparently the aggressor is not a nurse, but a fellow resident of an 'assisted living facility' rather than a care home.
My suspicions about whether the video is genuine are mainly because it's so clear and well framed. |
