Same with Memphis. I've heard from friends there that BLM is trying to start things, but it's been quiet.

Which countries did worse in deaths per capita? Or is America's death count inflated by TDS doctors trying to fuel the narrative?

And the whole thing hinges on a deliberate misreading of the 14th amendment that's been perpetuated by the Supreme Court since the passage of the amendment.
Trump’s Critics Are Wrong about the 14th Amendment and Birthright Citizenship | National Review
Donald Trump’s critics are wrong. Birthright citizenship is not mandated by the Fourteenth Amendment.

The issue is avoided and downplayed though because Repubs want cheap labor and Dems want it to form a bigger voting bloc. There aren't many things we should borrow from our Euro cousins but not having birthright citizenship is one of the smarter moves many of them had codified into law.

It goes back to Freud and the Great Black Dick Hoax. Not sure if Freud himself put this idea forward but he laid the groundwork to make such puerile bullshit "intellectual". It meshes quite well with the far-left's over-arching theory that the world is run by people like Lord Farquad from Shrek, entitled privileged fuckers who do everything in their power to suppress anyone who could be better than they are.

And the irony is that modern psychology has largely dismissed Freud's hypotheses.

They've got a nice pre-emptive defense on that. If you tell them to read a modern psych textbook, they'll tell you to read a modern textbook on gender!

I think its time for America to do a Japan and lock up the country. No more new people coming in until we fix our shit. You can leave but dont come back if you do.And the whole thing hinges on a deliberate misreading of the 14th amendment that's been perpetuated by the Supreme Court since the passage of the amendment.

Let's see... according to the WHO itself:
Source: https://covid19.who.int/table
(Definitely can't archive this one, it requires a bit of tweaking on the table itself to have it show the cumulative total per 1 million population.)
San Marino can be safely ignored since it has a population of only 35 thousand people (edit: same with Andorra. Forgot about them). Everybody else, well... India is currently climbing hard as they lose control of the situation, but since they have a huge population they might never actually reach the top 10 per 1 million.
As for our numbers... yes, US numbers are inflated, but by how much no one really knows. The news that COVID was the sole responsible for only 6% of deaths were misleading: yes, there are some ridiculous things like someone dying in a motorcycle crash and being listed as dead from COVID because he tested positive post-mortem, but in general when you have a cardio-respiratory viral infection like that, it can really fuck you up for a while and leave you vulnerable to opportunistic infections or pre-existing conditions. So while you're technically not dead due to COVID directly, you wouldn't be dead if you hadn't caught it.
Anyway, no point in doing a deep analysis on it, I think there's already a thread on the Happenings forum about it.

What does the US rate look like if you factor out NY, and NJ who had over a 1k per capita which is 3x , 4x than Florida, Texas, ect.?

Removing one or two Democrat-controlled cities has a remarkable effect on our overall crime rate, too, oddly enough.

If I got my back-of-the-napkin calculations right (and I'm an engineer, so don't expect me to get anything right without a CAD program and at least two hours), removing the states of New York and New Jersey as a whole, as the vast majority of cases come from the same metro area, would take us down to ~440 deaths per 1 million.
If you're looking at the table itself, 440 deaths per 1 million would put us Between Colombia and the Netherlands, with almost 144,000 deaths.
Not great, not terrible. And of course, this all relies on reported numbers. I seriously doubt Russia only has 18,600 cases right now. Or that Iran only had 23,000 cases.
Wheeling this back to TDS... well... Orange Man Bad even though he's the head of the federal government and some of the states and cities really fucked up, yadda yadda yadda.

You could say that God isn't a respecter of persons, that He looks at us all the same equally. However try to say that to a bunch of leftist monkeys they'll argue that God isn't anything but a Deity that our forefathers worshipped that causes nothing but trouble.

I think they'd have to have already signed up for the deferred action to be able to do enjoy that anchor dreamer status.
And a quick google search says the federal government isn't accepting new applications, though it is accepting renewals due to a court order.
So I don't think the TPS people have an option here unless they tried getting citizenship, which many may not have bothered with as there was no sign that their status was changing any time soon.

Looking at a chart from a bit ago, Spain did pretty poorly along with the UK. Things for the US never really got at terrible as it was in some of these places and then plateaued.

I've been telling people about the numbers problem the US has. Namely, that we're fucking huge. We're the third most populous nation in the world, behind China and India. And we're a free society that's actually somewhat efficient.
China is an authoritarian shithole where they could literally have you shot for leaving your apartment block during quarantine, and they definitely haven't reported their numbers truthfully. India tried to lock down early on but they're losing their grip on it and now their numbers are spiking. No matter how you cut it, there's no way to have so many people in a nation and not have ugly numbers to show for it.
Now let's look at it objectively. Currently, we're at almost 6.5 million reported cases of COVID-19. That is almost exactly 2% of our population reported as being infected. With those numbers, the lethality rate is ~3%. The number of infected is likely a lot higher because we just can't test everybody like many (much smaller) European nations and South Korea did, but the number of dead by COVID is likely close to the truth because anything we miss gets compensated by how much the numbers get bloated by the odd motorcycle crash. So lethality is closer to 2%, if not lower.
The Spanish Flu infected about one third of the entire world population. One third. We haven't reached one tenth yet. We're around two tenths of one tenth. There's not much Trump (or Hillary, if she were in power) could have done. This is a viral infection with respiratory symptoms and a long latency and incubation period. It's going to spread no matter how hard you lock shit down. It's important to take measures against it, absolutely. But this shit got politicized because... again, Orange Man Bad.
I'm not going to say we should be cheering and holding great rallies to celebrate our pre-emptive defeat of COVID-19. This thing is going to be running through America for a long time and we'll be feeling its effects (both in terms of public health and the economy) even longer, and trying to be more sanitary (wash your fucking hands!) and social-distance-y is a good idea regardless. But all told Trump didn't do nearly as bad as he could, and definitely not nearly as bad as people say he did.
Edit: derp. Got the percentage of infected wrong (seriously, don't trust me with a calculator). The point should still stand, though.

Someone should really start a rival gimmick account called Satan(@thedevildownbelow) and just use it to pester and mock the guy, see how long it takes him to snap.
In Minecraft, of course.

I'm still skeptical about whether this happened. If I remember right a few places tested people at airports then asked them to quarantine until the test came back, but I've never seen evidence of everyone (or even a large percent) of any country getting tested.
For instance, Italy just came up with some of their numbers based on a sample group.
The way that testing appears to be done in most of Europe is the same as in the US, they have some locations opened up that people volunteer to get tested at. The most the governments do to compel people to get tested is to do the same as the US and simply ask. None of these countries are doing anything especially different regarding testing than the US, except maybe handing out vouchers in places like France for a free test while many nurses take off for vacation.
It's why a lot of the data on cases is likely meaningless in comparison to hospitalization rates or even death rates. No country is testing everyone as it isn't feasible.

A judge just struck down lockdown orders in PA as unConsitituional. (because duh)
Trump went on a warpath of tweets!
EDIT:
I'm not gonna try to keep up with the tweets he's putting out, but this retweeted video caught my eye:
