An Oklahoma State University football player says he has tested positive for COVID-19 after attending demonstrations protesting the police killing of George Floyd.

Amen Ogbongbemiga, a senior linebacker, tweeted Tuesday that he had tested positive for the virus after attending protests in Tulsa.

"After attending a protest in Tulsa AND being well protective of myself, I have tested positive for COVID-19," he tweeted. "Please, if you are going to protest, take care of yourself and stay safe."

We knew drumpf was a fucking disaster, but he's proven to be every bit as bad as we imagined and far far worse than we hoped or deserved. He's the America Hitler, purveyor of the American carnage and death. He wants to up the ante and kill far more of us and is angry that his plot isn't working, so now he's drummed up a race war to take up the slack and increase the killing and chaos. Only if things are really bad can he get away with declaring martial law and cancellign the elections, but it's exactly what he's laying the groundwork for and inciting right now.
