Medication Administration Record Mar General Medication: Fill & Download for Free

Healthcare IT is an evolving field and one of the ways to marry Healthcare and technology is to better the overall healthcare system by developing a software for healthcare facilities to simplify medical administration.This kind of a software doesn't just help the medical staff but also helps the patients keep a track of related documents, dosage and bills. In a layman's language, think of it as a software being used by a hospital to manage the medical program for a certain patient. Some features of such a software can be defined as follows:Patient Profile: The software provides the immediate view of all the residents with their complete medication summary. This allows caregivers to immediately decide which resident/patient needs immediate attention and what is the order of highest priority.Resident Details: The software provides information such as general demographic information of patients, set of vital signs, allergies, diets, diagnosis etc with a clear and easy to use interface to view the scheduled activities for a patient.Medication Profile: The software takes care of the entire medication administration process for the patient. It consists of all the orders given to a patient from medication orders to PRN orders to treatment orders.Flash icons: Flash icons makes any healthcare application an effective tool in alternate care setting. These icons are visible globally across the system and are used to indicate patient's due medications, late medications, treatments due, low inventory levels for medications etc.Messaging: This feature allows to send the messages to support staff and facility members from within the application. The integrated messenger module ensures that the message is received by the intended recipient in a secured and an efficient manner.Reports: Flexible and powerful reporting to ensure that overall medication administration efficiency across a facility is improved so that the accountability audits are just a click away. Some of the most important ones includeMedication list: Caregivers can record medication list of all the residents.MAR: Caregivers can fill-up the monthly medication chart which can be used by support staff to give and manage medications to Residents.Vital Sign Summary: Caregivers can prepare a comprehensive report to record patient’s vital signs.Physician Order Form: This report helps caregivers to send “continue med” or “stop med” order to a doctor.Scheduler: Caregivers use this report to take the daily medication schedule of residents.Destroyed Medication: Caregivers use this report to see the destroyed medication with proper reasonsControlled Medication: Caregivers can track the controlled medication of residents.Certain Features that can also benefit pharmacy:The software should be so engineered so as to automate the medication refilling process without any loss of critical timeIntegration: The application should fix pharmacy with a facility to have direct access to their patients and have total control of their access. This provides pharmacy with full medical profile to fulfill medication requests as an when notifications are sent by the caregivers.Inventory: Pharmacy can simply reorder, set order levels, destroy meds and do control counts in this application as it allows a direct link with the facility.Standard ComplianceAny such application should follow healthcare IT industry standards such as HIPAA and HL7 for secured sharing and integration of key patient information. It is an accurate and a comprehensive system where the data is converted and carried across other healthcare systems in pharmacies, in a secured and reliable manner.Medication Error ReductionPast statistics convey that most of the medication errors are result of manual entry on papers which can really prove to be costly. A healthcare application like this should have a sleek user interface and pharmacy integration ability that allows caregivers to enter all kinds of medication related data with proper accuracy.Reference: http://vinfotech.com

It depends on the shift and the individual, and what they are doing.As a PP pointed out, much charting and other documentation is now done on the computer. When I worked in a nursing home, our standard was to use a tool called the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI). Each resident received a full RAI on admission to the facility, once a year, and if they had a significant change in function. Every three months they would get an abbreviated RAI. The health care aides would complete “tracking” for the resident for several days, in which they would document the resident’s specific care requirements. I then had to enter all of this information into the computer, as well as other details about the resident’s condition. This would generate a care plan for the resident and would also be entered into the resident’s electronic health record. All of our regular charting (with the exception of signing off medications) was also completed online.New medication administration records, or MARs come out once a month. (This is standard in long-term care as most medications don’t change that much.) Each MAR has to be checked for accuracy.If a new order is given for something, say, a temporary medication (e.g. antibiotic for an infection), or if a medication is changed, it is the nurse’s responsibility in most cases to ensure that the order is processed. This means that it has to be entered into the computer, put into the MAR, faxed or otherwise sent to the pharmacy, etc.The nurse may have to contact a patient’s provider or the patient’s family to report a concern such as a fall or a change in patient condition.You may also have interrupted the staff during report. In the facility where I worked, we usually had two reports, at least on days. At 2 p.m. all of the staff would get together and the health care aides would update the RN on the condition of all of the residents. (They would pass along urgent information as required, but if there was nothing substantial to report, it would wait until this time.) Then, at 3 p.m., the RN would give report to the staff coming on for the evening. Report is generally given in the office or in a report room.In other words, the staff aren’t necessarily in the office goofing around. They’re completing important work in there. You tend to find that the RN or LPN may be in the office more commonly, as they typically have more charting to do on the residents and the health care aides are providing more direct care.

I hope more is forthcoming. And I think we are already seeing a very clear pattern emerging that goes back to long before Trump became president. Here are the results of my research on the matter …THE PATTERNThis is why the reports that Trump called American soldiers “losers” and “suckers” rings true for me …On the record, Trump has called America’s top generals “pussies,” “dopes” and “morons.” Let’s think about that for a second. If Trump thinks and speaks that way about America’s highest-ranking generals, what can we expect him to think about the lower ranks?Trump has also made it very clear that in his eyes the only "good" women are young and "beautiful pieces of ass" with large breasts, like his daughter Ivanka. Trump has also made it very clear that he has no respect for women he considers unattractive, even disparaging the looks of Angelina Jolie and Heidi Klum. (The Donald has YUGELY & BIGLY high standards for other people, not so much for his obese self.) Trump has also made it very clear that he has no respect for the handicapped, by mocking a disabled reporter. And this perverse disregard for people who don't meet Trump's superficial standards for perfection extends to veterans, from grunts to generals:Trump has even called our highest-ranking generals losers! As Bob Woodward just revealed in tapes made on the record, Trump called our top generals “pussies.” During his first presidential campaign, Trump publicly denigrated them collectively, saying, “I know more about ISIS than the generals do.” During a meeting at the Pentagon in 2017, he berated our top generals: “I wouldn’t go to war with you people, you’re a bunch of dopes and babies.” Trump called Jim Mattis “the world’s most overrated general.” Trump also blasted Mattis as “not tough enough” then in his incredible egotism said “I captured ISIS!” as if he had done it personally. (Of course much of ISIS remains at large, uncaptured.) Senator Tim Kaine called Trump’s attack on Mattis “delusional” and praised the former U.S. Central Command leader as “one of the finest public servants I have ever worked with in 25 years of public life.” A Military Times poll found that nearly 84 percent of troops had a favorable view of Mattis and among officers the figure was almost 90 percent. In any case, if Trump thinks and talks like that about our generals, what should we expect him to think and say about ordinary soldiers? But these horrendous insults are just the tip of an enormous iceberg …Future US president George H. W. Bush was the Navy’s youngest pilot when he earned his wings a few days before turning 19, but he was a “loser” to the draft-dodging Donald Trump because his plane was shot down.Pilots who get shot down, like John McCain and George H. W. Bush, are "losers" to Trump. Three sources told The Atlantic that Trump had described Bush as a "loser" because his plane was shot down during World War II. Bush was the youngest Navy pilot when he earned his wings a few days before turning 19. Flying a Grumman Avenger TBM torpedo bomber into the teeth of the Japanese fleet at age 19 sounds pretty damn heroic to me. How about you? And the US Navy agreed. For his 58 combat missions, Bush was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for bravery and three Air Medals. And Bush was hardly a “loser.” In the mission where his plane went down, Bush and his crew encountered intense antiaircraft fire. While starting the attack, Bush's plane was hit and his engine caught on fire. Bush still completed his attack, released his bombs and scored several damaging hits. Bush and his crew then bailed out. Unfortunately, only Bush survived. He was rescued by the submarine USS Finback. During the month he spent on the Finback, Bush participated in the rescue of other pilots. Yeah, pretty effin’ heroic, pardon my French. What was Trump doing at age 19? Playing it safe, ducking the draft, working on his tan?BTW, such statements by Trump go WAY back in time. When Mark Bowden was writing his article about Trump for Playboy magazine in November 1996, he traveled with Trump on his private jet to Mar-a-Lago. This is what he observed:“What was clear was how fast and far one could fall from favor. The trip from “genius” to “idiot” was a flash. The former [military] pilots who flew his plane were geniuses, until they made one too many bumpy landings and became “fucking idiots.” [This sounds like a personality disorder called “splitting” in which, like a baby, the person with the disorder judges everyone else by how they make him feel at the moment. Feel-good things are “perfect” while feel-bad things are “evil.” Thus a baby can see his mother as an angel one minute, and as a witch the next, if she withholds something he wants. People with this disorder don’t see shades of grey: everything is black or white, perfect or evil. Trump has called himself a “perfect person” more than once and claims to have “no faults” and to never bear any responsibility for anything he does that goes wrong. If he is perfect, anyone who contradicts or otherwise displeases Trump is the opposite of perfect, and that can explain why he reacts so badly to criticism, even when the criticism is warranted. It can also explain why Trump calls people who displease him “losers” even when they are not at fault. McCain and Bush were not responsible for getting shot down. McCain was not responsible for getting captured. But these things make Trump unhappy and he lashes out at the source of his unhappiness. Ditto for soldiers with missing limbs that he doesn’t want in his parades. Ditto for war dead whose graves he would rather not visit, especially when his hair might get wet.]Continuing Mark Bowden’s account:The gold carpeting selected in his absence for the locker rooms in the spa at Mar-a-Lago? “What kind of fucking idiot . . . ?” I watched as Trump strutted around the beautifully groomed clay tennis courts on his estate, managed by noted tennis pro Anthony Boulle. The courts had been prepped meticulously for a full day of scheduled matches. Trump took exception to the design of the spaces between courts. In particular, he didn’t like a small metal box—a pump and cooler for the water fountain alongside—which he thought looked ugly. He first questioned its placement, then crudely disparaged it, then kicked the box, which didn’t budge, and then stooped—red-faced and fuming—to tear it loose from its moorings, rupturing a water line and sending a geyser to soak the courts. Boulle looked horrified, a weekend of tennis abruptly drowned. Catching a glimpse of me watching, Trump grimaced. [Bowden went on to explain that Trump became the only person he interviewed who tried to bribe him not to mention what he had seen with his own eyes.]POWs like John McCain are not heroes because Trump only likes uncaptured soldiers. Captured soldiers are "losers" to Trump. While Trump has claimed that he never called John McCain a “loser,” he most certainly did, in a 2015 videotaped interview with Frank Luntz — the same interview where Trump insisted that McCain was not a war hero. (I have provided a link to the interview at the bottom of this page.) Trump had also made negative remarks about McCain being captured in a 1999 interview with Dan Rather, questioning why he had been called a hero, so this was obviously not some sort of fluke. Trump continued to disparage McCain after his death, saying, "We sent him on the way, but I wasn't a fan of John McCain.” Trump even insinuated that McCain was in hell and seemed quite happy with that prospect: "And sometimes, you know, we had a little hard time with a couple of them, right? Fortunately, they're gone now. They've gone on to greener pastures — or perhaps far less green pastures. But they're gone. I'm very happy they're gone."Being mutilated and/or losing limbs is worse than being captured, so wounded warriors are even bigger "losers" to Trump. Trump finds mutilated soldiers embarrassing and wanted to keep them out of the 2017 Fourth of July parade, saying the inclusion of "wounded guys" is "not a good look" and that "Americans don't like that."Getting killed is even worse than being captured or mutilated, so what Trump said about the American war dead in France fits this grotesque pattern.Trump's aversion to wounded veterans is nothing new. During the first Republican presidential debate, Megyn Kelly quoted what Trump had said about other women, calling them "pigs," "dogs" and "disgusting animals." Trump earned a well-deserved public spanking for attacking Kelly, when all she had done was QUOTE him, and the endlessly petulant Trump decided to skip the next debate. Trump’s excuse? He claimed to "love" our vets so much that he preferred to do a benefit for them. This "Trump love" sounded very dubious to me, so I decided to do some independent research. What I discovered was that Trump had repeatedly tried to get New York City mayors to keep vets from selling patriotic wares on ritzy Fifth Avenue, even though this was their right by New York law. The Donald didn't "love" vets; in reality he didn't want to see them, or smell them. When New York mayors refused to deny vets their legal rights, the huffy Donald built giant concrete columns outside Trump Tower to keep wounded warriors from standing anywhere close to his expensive baubles.THE WHYSo what does Trump really mean? In my opinion, what Trump really means is this: "I was smart to dodge the draft and send other men to fight and die in my place in Vietnam. Anyone who fights and dies for his country, or gets wounded, is a moron, a fool, a loser, a sucker."WHAT DO VETERANS THINK ABOUT TRUMP’S INSULTS?Jeff McCausland, a retired U.S. Army colonel and former member of the National Security Council, wrote: “We want to believe our commander in chief wouldn’t say such incredibly offensive things. But we also know, deep down, that it’s likely he did. Because he has before.” Upon reading the Atlantic article, I was angry. Sadly, I was not surprised. These allegations are consistent with numerous other comments and actions made by Trump over the past three years that, taken together, demonstrate a clear pattern of disrespect toward the military. Even before he was elected in 2016, Trump argued that Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. was “not a war hero.” He later described McCain, as well as President George H.W. Bush, as “losers” for being shot down in combat. Trump even resisted lowering the flag over the White House when McCain died. In a Pentagon meeting in the summer of 2017, Trump blasted senior military leadership in front of junior officers and civilians as “losers” and a “bunch of dopes and babies.” In the aftermath of this meeting, then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reportedly referred to the president as a "moron." The list goes on. Former Defense Secretary and retired Marine Gen. James Mattis observed that Trump used troops as political props for a photo op in Lafayette Park. Trump criticized Gold Star families and reportedly told the grieving wife of a soldier killed in combat that he “knew what he signed up for.” The president has also denigrated and directly interfered in court-martial actions against soldiers accused of war crimes. These are not gaffes, nor are they the blunders of a man who simply lacks empathy. Rather, they reveal the president’s basic lack of understanding of the military — and even bigger than that, his lack of understanding of the concept of “service.” This is a man who, in a 1997 interview with Howard Stern, bragged about how avoiding sexually transmitted diseases in the 1960s and '70s was his own “personal Vietnam.” Trump is, at his core, a figure born of privilege who views people not as individuals, but as pawns. This transactional worldview explains the fact that he simply cannot fathom why anyone would volunteer to serve. It is incomprehensible to him. In Trump’s mind, nothing is worth doing without the possibility of a significant monetary reward or boost in status. As Goldberg noted, after then-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joe Dunford had delivered a White House briefing, Trump asked aides: “That guy is smart. Why did he join the military?”One of Trump's "losers" and "suckers" is 95-year-old WWII veteran Harvey Hafter, who spoke with evident pride of serving his country on a PT Boat, then let the Demander-in-Chief have it with both barrels: "Boy is he a loser! What has he done? Other than screw up, and that's exactly what we called them in the Navy: a Foul-Up, Top to Bottom. He can't insult us and get away with that kind of nonsense! Who does he think he is, that Draft Dodger? He's a coward! And I'd call him so to his face! I wish he were here right now! I'm five-foot-six. I weigh 135 pounds soaking wet. And I challenge him. Any way he wants: pistols, swords, fists. Any way he wants, 'cause that kind of an insult, I won't stand for it! And neither will any other service person. Who does he think he is? Whatever chance he had of getting a vote from me is gone. I want someone who's calm, quiet and not a Loud-Mouth, an Empty Barrel. I want Joe Biden. That's it."Laurence Tribe on TwitterORIGINAL QUOTESHere is what Trump said and did, as reported by The Atlantic in an article by editor-in-chief and award-winning journalist Jeffrey Goldberg:When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true.Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.THE CONFIRMATIONSJennifer Griffin of Fox News has confirmed that Trump called veterans LOSERS and SUCKERS:Jennifer Griffin tweeted:Two former senior Trump admin officials confirm .Jeffrey Goldberg reporting that President Trump disparaged veterans and did not want to drive to honor American war dead at Aisne-Marne Cemetery outside Paris.President Trump's staff explained he could cancel (his visit to the cemetery), but he was warned, 'They (the press) are going to kill you for this'." The President was mad as a hornet when they did.When asked IF the President could have driven to the Aisne-Marne Cemetery, this former official said confidently: "The President drives a lot. The other world leaders drove to the cemeteries. He just didn't want to go."Regarding Trump's July 4th military parade, during a planning session at the White House after seeing the Bastille Day parade in 2017, the President said regarding the inclusion of "wounded guys" "that's not a good look" "Americans don't like that," source confirms.The main gist of the report has also been confirmed by the Associated Press:The allegations were first reported in The Atlantic. A senior Defense Department official with firsthand knowledge of events confirmed some of the remarks to The Associated Press, including the 2018 cemetery comments.The defense official said Trump made the comments as he begged off visiting the cemetery outside Paris during a meeting following his presidential daily briefing on the morning of Nov. 10, 2018.Staffers from the National Security Council and the Secret Service told Trump that rainy weather made helicopter travel to the cemetery risky, but they could drive there. Trump responded by saying he didn't want to visit the cemetery because it was “filled with losers,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss it publicly.According to The New York Times, the Defense official who confirmed the report in The Atlantic also said that on Memorial Day 2017, Trump had gone with his chief of staff, John Kelly, to visit the Arlington Cemetery gravesite of Kelly's son, Robert, who was killed in 2010 in Afghanistan, and said to Kelly: “I don't get it. What was in it for them?"The Atlantic, citing sources with firsthand knowledge, also reported that Trump declined to support the August 2018 funeral of John McCain, a decorated Navy veteran and POW, because he was a “loser.” Trump reportedly told his senior staff that “We’re not going to support that loser’s funeral.” Trump was also upset that flags were flown at half-staff for McCain, saying: “What the f—k are we doing that for? Guy was a f—king loser.” In 2015, early in his presidential candidacy, Trump had publicly blasted McCain, saying “He’s not a war hero.” Trump added, “I like people who weren’t captured.” Even after McCain’s death, Trump continued to attack him posthumously. The New York Times verified that Trump resisted supporting an official funeral and lowering flags after John McCain’s death, citing McCain as “a Vietnam War hero whose military service he [Trump] had disparaged.”The Atlantic said Trump also referred to former President George H. W. Bush as a “loser” because he was shot down by the Japanese as a Navy pilot in World War II.The New York Times also said:“Moreover, people familiar with Mr. Trump’s private conversations say he has long scorned those who served in Vietnam as being too dumb to have gotten out of it, as he did through a medical diagnosis of bone spurs in his heels (Did a Queens Podiatrist Help Donald Trump Avoid Vietnam?). At other times, according to those familiar with the remarks, Mr. Trump has expressed bewilderment that people choose military service over making money. Some also recalled him asking why the United States should be so interested in finding captured soldiers, a comment made in the context of Mr. McCain, who was a prisoner of war in Vietnam. Another former official said Mr. Trump often expressed discomfort around people who had been injured, although he has held events with wounded veterans.”The New York Times also said:“While Mr. Trump demanded that allies knock down the article, aides recognized that few senior military officers were willing to openly defend the president.”According to The New York Times, while John Bolton could not confirm the quotes in question because if they had been made he was not present at the time, “Mr. Bolton added that the reported comments were not out of character for the president. ‘I haven’t heard anybody yet react to say, That’s not the Donald Trump I know.’”Personally, I believe John Bolton is telling us that these are indeed the kinds of disparaging remarks Trump makes about our servicemen and servicewomen.James LaPorta, an ex-Marine and senior correspondent for Newsweek covering national security and military affairs, tweeted that he had confirmed the Atlantic reporting: “A senior Defense Department official I just spoke with confirmed this story by @JeffreyGoldberg (Jeffrey Goldberg (@JeffreyGoldberg) | Twitter (Jeffrey Goldberg (@JeffreyGoldberg) | Twitter)) in its entirety. Especially the grafs about the late Sen. John McCain and former Marine Gen. John Kelly …”Sarah Blake Morgan tweeted: “My colleague, ⁦@JimLaPorta⁩ (https://twitter.com/JimLaPorta)⁩), confirming ⁦@TheAtlantic⁩’s (https://twitter.com/TheAtlantic)⁩’s) reporting - including Trump’s cemetery comments in both France and Arlington’s Section 60.”Miles Taylor, who was chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, has disputed Trump’s assertion that he lowered the flags for Mr. McCain without complaint. Taylor said that he received calls from the White House complaining that the department had ordered flags lowered. “The president is upset, this has gone out too soon and he doesn’t want it to happen,” he quoted a White House aide telling him. “I was then asked, ‘Would you guys be able to rescind the directive?’” Mr. Taylor said in an interview. He said he resisted, and ultimately White House aides pushed Mr. Trump to keep the flags lowered. But it was made clear that the president “won’t want them down, and he’s angry.” Taylor said that he found the episode “astounding and disgusting.”According to the Washington Post:Trump also couldn’t comprehend why some of the high-ranking military men serving in his administration such as [John] Kelly and former defense secretary Jim Mattis would choose that path. He regarded their rank as a sign of accomplishment, but also of squandered earning potential. “You seem like fairly talented guys — why would you do that? You don’t make any money,” Trump said, according to the former official, who added of Trump: “Everything is transactional to him.”According to Political Wire:Fox News Confirms Trump Disparaged VeteransSeptember 4, 2020 at 4:32 pm EDT By Taegan GoddardTwo former senior Trump administration officials confirmed to Fox News that President Trump regularly disparaged veterans.According to one former senior Trump administration official: “When the President spoke about the Vietnam War, he said, ‘It was a stupid war. Anyone who went was a sucker’.”He added: “What’s in it for them? They don’t make any money.” [This sounds very much like what Trump reportedly said to John Kelly when they visited his son’s grave.]Explained the source: “It was a character flaw of the President. He could not understand why someone would die for their country, not worth it.”THE REBUTTALSThis from Politico:Senator Tammy Duckworth homed in on a different detail from The Atlantic’s report: the president’s request during a 2018 White House planning meeting for a military parade that the celebratory event not include wounded veterans such as amputees. “Nobody wants to see that,” Trump allegedly said.Duckworth insisted that Trump’s remarks do not “diminish the sacrifices of wounded soldiers who gave up their limbs, like I did, for all Americans — including him.”“I’d take my wheelchair and my titanium legs over Donald Trump’s supposed bone spurs any day,” she said, referring to the medical exemption that granted Trump a deferment from being drafted into military service during the Vietnam War.Also featured on the Biden campaign call was Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father whose son was killed in Iraq in 2004 and who has feuded with Trump since addressing the Democratic National Convention in 2016. On Friday, however, he leveled what appeared to be his most forceful and personal condemnation of the president yet.“Words matter. The words we say are a window into our souls — of how we see the world and our place in it,” Khan said. “When Donald Trump calls anyone who places their life in service of others a ‘loser,’ we understand Trump’s soul.”Khan went on to describe Trump’s life as a “testament to selfishness,” contending that the president is “incapable of understanding service, valor and courage. His soul cannot conceive of integrity and honor. And let me say very loudly and clearly so America can listen: His soul is that of a coward.”Pennsylvania Rep. Conor Lamb, a Marine veteran and the final Biden surrogate to participate in Friday’s press call, was more reluctant to discuss Trump’s reported remarks, instead explaining the historical and symbolic significance of the Battle of Belleau Wood to the U.S. Marine Corps.Many of the Marines killed in that battle are buried at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, which Trump declined to visit, and the three-week World War I conflict is widely regarded as “if not the most, certainly one of the most important battles in Marine Corps history,” according to Lamb.“That battle and that burial ground deserve the utmost respect and veneration to any American,” Lamb said, but “for a president to pass up the opportunity to pay his respect at that site, it’s just a tragedy regardless of what was said or wasn’t said.”Several of Lamb’s fellow House Democrats who also served in the military similarly criticized Trump in a conference call with reporters on Friday. The group of lawmakers included Reps. Gil Cisneros and Ted Lieu of California, Jason Crow of Colorado, Elaine Luria of Virginia and Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey.“I was incredibly proud to serve our country. I didn’t do it because I was stupid or a sucker. I did it because I love this country,” Sherrill said, adding: “I don’t think he’s fit to be the president of the United States.”THE AFTERMATH … SO FARTrump is trying to get Jennifer Griffin fired ... This per Rolling Stone:On Saturday morning, following a late Friday night tweet from the president calling on Fox News to fire her, the network’s national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin told host Neil Cavuto that Trump did indeed use the sort of language The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg said the president had.After being asked about The Atlantic’s framing of Trump’s comments, Griffin told Cavuto that she double-checked with her sources this morning and they reconfirmed both Goldberg’s reporting and her own.“Well, I circled back with my source this morning and he firmly said this was not a one-off,” Griffin said, adding that Trump “used, according to my source, he used ‘suckers’ and that term repeatedly to describe McCain and anyone who went to Vietnam.”Griffin continued, “He always described — according to the source — Vietnam vets as those who couldn’t get out of it. And he would often say to his advisers when they suggested that he would go to visit the war dead, ‘What is it about you guys and guys who get killed?’ So, he used ‘losers.’ That’s a big part of the president’s vernacular. I think anyone who’s been around him knows that.”A recent poll by the The Military Times shows Joe Biden leading Trump with 41 percent to 37 percent among active-duty troops, a “stark departure from the military’s longstanding support for Republicans and a danger sign for the president.”Barely 15 hours after the original Atlantic article was published, VoteVets, a veterans organization that has long been critical of Trump, released an online ad (VoteVets on Twitter) featuring the parents of troops slain in Iraq and Afghanistan, each one declaring that their son or stepson was not a “loser” or “sucker.”Trump is now trying to claim that he really wanted to attend the graveside ceremony, after all. But he has been caught in an obvious lie. Trump said he "called home, I spoke to my wife and I said, 'I hate this. I came here to go to that ceremony.'" But Melania Trump was in France with him, so he obviously didn’t “call home.”THE ARTICLE AND RELATED LINKSHere are links to the Atlantic article and associated links:Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’ (Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’)Fox News confirms the Atlantic account:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yARDlneN_5ETrump calls John McCain a “loser” and says American POWs are not heroes because he only likes soldiers who don’t get captured:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1dVtwfVXx0OTHER RELATED INFORMATION AND LINKSAs our nation faces its greatest national crisis since World War II, we need to heed the wisdom of highly-esteemed Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.

Don the Con shot himself in both feet, handed the Smoking Gun to the elderly Fudd, then hobbled off on the bloody stumps, still hoping to get reelected!The news that Trump knew the coronavirus was deadly in late January and revealed it to Bob Woodward in early February, and yet chose to deliberately lie to the American people is shocking, but not surprising.We can seek to understand why Trump said what he said and did what he did, but that doesn’t change the fact that what he did was a crime and that he was an accomplice in the deaths of over 100,000 Americans, with the death toll rising on a daily basis.Why would Trump lie with so many lives at risk? Trump is an egomaniac and he always wants to appear personally cool, calm and confident. Trump wants to project strength like his heroes Putin and Lil Kim. Those are odd role models for an American president, but Trump slobbers over them like a lapdog begging treats from its master. So we know how Trump wants to be seen himself.Trump worries more about his hair, polls and public image than he does about the lives and health of 330 million Americans. So he decided to “play down” the pandemic in order to look “strong” and get reelected. Saving lives was not Trump’s personal priority.Bob Woodward used 18 “perfect” phone calls to turn Trump into his own Deep Throat. Don the Con shot himself in both feet, handed the Smoking Gun to the intrepid reporter, then hobbled off on the bloody stumps, still hoping to get reelected!This is Trump’s coronavirus record as it now stands:(1) Trump has admitted deliberately lying repeatedly to the American people while 195,000 Americans went to their graves.(2) Trump has admitted that young people are susceptible to the coronavirus while publicly lying that they are immune or virtually immune. One of Bob Woodward’s most stunning revelations is that Trump knows “plenty” of young people are susceptible to the coronavirus. Not just a few, not just a very tiny percentage, but “plenty” of young people. Trump said so himself — in person, on the record, on tape. While Trump was claiming publicly and confidently that children were practically immune or “almost immune” to the virus, he told Woodward in a March 19 phone call: “Just today and yesterday, some startling facts came out. It’s not just old, older. Young people too — plenty of young people.” In April, even as he began to urge and even tried to force the country to reopen with bellicose statements and tweets, Trump told Woodward, “It’s so easily transmissible, you wouldn’t even believe it.” If we put “easily transmissible” together with “plenty” of young people, the prospects for aggressive school re-openings become very problematic, if not downright terrifying. If adults are struggling to stay safe in close quarters, what can we expect from children?(3) Trump is trying to force 76 million American school children to do for nine months what he and his super-rich swampland donors, with all their resources, couldn’t do for a few days at the canceled convention.(4) What kind of man forces children to do what he can’t do himself? Trump is like the captain of a ship throwing children overboard to save his own neck and job.Is this evil con man the person we want deciding what happens to 76 million American school children? If a vaccine will be ready in a few months, why not save their lives and those of their teachers, families and friends? Why not wait just a bit longer, for everyone’s sake? The reason for Trump’s haste is obvious: he cares more about getting reelected than he does about 76 million children and the people they come in contact with. That makes him a monster. Do we really want a monster in the White House?Anyone who votes for Trump could be an accomplice in the murders of large numbers of American school children and their families, friends, teachers and other school workers.WHO’S NEXT?Trump loudly berated the World Health Organization for downplaying the asymptomatic spread of COVID-19 … but that is exactly what he did himself, as he revealed in taped conversations, on the record, with Bob Woodward.In a May 18 letter to WHO officials, Trump wrote:"On March 3, 2020, the World Health Organization cited official Chinese data to downplay the very serious risk of asymptomatic spread, telling the world that 'COVID-19 does not transmit as efficiently as influenza.' It is now clear that China's assertions, repeated to the world by the World Health Organization, were wildly inaccurate.""Many lives could have been saved" had the WHO warned the world earlier, Trump wrote. Later that month, he announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the global health agency.Of course, Trump was guilty of the same crimes as China and the WHO, if his allegations against them were correct. In any case, he knew the truth no later than Feb. 7, when on the record, in a taped interview with Bob Woodward, Trump revealed that he was fully aware of just how infectious and deadly the coronavirus really was. As Trump lectured the WHO, “many lives could have been saved” if he had told the truth as soon as he knew it himself.Here we have Trump admitting in his own words that he allowed many people to die whose lives could have been saved. How many lives could Trump have saved by telling the truth and acting faster and more decisively?Trump Could Have Saved Over 150,000 American LivesHere's a sobering fact: the USA has only 4.25% of the world's population yet at times has had around a quarter to nearly a THIRD of confirmed coronavirus deaths. That's a staggering disparity. How did the world's richest nation, with legions of medical experts and some of the finest medical organizations on the planet, end up with a death rate up to seven times higher than expected if its government had merely been average in its response? Epidemiologists Britta L. Jewell and Nicholas P. Jewell have said that 90% of US coronavirus deaths could have been avoided if social distancing had begun on March 2, when Trump had two months of information and warnings about the coronavirus but continued to publicly insist that it was "totally under control." Researchers at Columbia University concurred, saying that Trump's two-week delay in mitigation, from March 1 to March 15, had multiplied the U.S. death toll by a factor of six. By May 3, the price of that delay was more than 50,000 lives. The Columbia University researchers came up with a very similar 84% overall percentage of total lives potentially saved. At the 200,000 death mark, two different teams of researchers are telling us that Trump could have saved around 168,000 to 180,000 lives. And we're not out of the woods, thanks to Trump. "The fall could be incredibly gruesome," said Yale School of Medicine epidemiologist Gregg Gonsalves, explaining that the Trump administration largely squandered the summer months, leaving the nation no better protected than it was in June. "Somebody's going to have to explain it to me, ten years from now, why they would make all these bad choices." According to Wikipedia, American combat deaths for the Korean, Vietnam, Gulf, Afghanistan and Iraq wars combined are under 100,000. The coronavirus has now killed many more Americans than all those horrors together, and the death toll continues to rise. Trump likes to call himself a "wartime president" but in reality he gave our greatest enemy easy access to our ports and airports when he failed to shut them down until it was far too late.Trump is far more guilty than the WHO and he is convicted by his own words. He knew that what he was doing was wrong and would result in lives being lost that could have been saved. How is this not premeditated murder on a gargantuan scale?SNAPSHOTS: IT’S UNANIMOUS — EVERYONE AGREES — TRUMP IS AN IDIOT!What the people who know Trump best have said about him …“F-king moron!” Secretary of State Rex Tillerson“An idiot, unhinged.” General John Kelly“An idiot and a dope.” General H.R.
