This the same week an Iraq vet and Purple Heart winner was forced into retirement for telling the truth - out of spite by Trump - rather than receive the promotion to bird colonel he deserved.

Meanwhile, Trump commutes Stone's sentence he was to serve for several counts of NOT telling the truth.

There are a plethora of reasons for Republicans not to vote for Trump this time.

His treatment of Lt Col Vindman should cost him support in the military. I mean, on one hand an Iraq combat vet and Purple Heart recipient whose promotion to bird colonel was held up by Trump and forced into retirement out of spite simply because he told the truth. Compare that to Trump commuting Stone's sentence for NOT telling the truth. Outrageous, all of it

For-profit colleges, which have been student-loan-printing machines but pay taxes are one thing.

They should start with megachurches, who rake in millions and don't do diddly squat for communities. They've begun getting politically involved, which should disallow their tax exemption.

Organized rally against Kansas face mask order results in 5 people milling around

"We the people must deside [sic] are we on the side of liberty or will we alow [sic] tyranny to prevail! show up send a message" was the only text on the invitation. Shortly after noon Thursday, the page was taken down.

Five individuals gathered at the base of the steps on the south side of the Capitol, discussing why the event failed to attract more people.

Can we amend the Constitution to require that, in addition to having attained the age of thirty-five years, presidents be able to understand fractions?

For the 1/100th time, the reason we show so many Cases, compared to other countries that haven't done nearly as well as we have, is that our TESTING is much bigger and better. We have tested 40,000,000 people. If we did 20,000,000 instead, Cases would be half, etc. NOT REPORTED!

688 new cases in Nashville yesterday. Ya, it may be more positives among 18-40-year olds, but they don't live in a vacuum. They're going to spread it, and probably already have spread it to others.

BTW, yesterday research was released that COVID-19 also causes brain damage with symptoms similar to Alzheimers and others.

Also, symptoms just like Guillain-Barre syndrome have been found in a significant percentage of infected patients in a recent study:

Guillain-Barre (gee-YAH-buh-RAY) syndrome is a rare disorder in which your body's immune system attacks your nerves. Weakness and tingling in your extremities are usually the first symptoms. These sensations can quickly spread, eventually paralyzing your whole body

COVID-19: We're #1!!

OK, Trump, you were right. We're really tired of 'winning.'

Reporter asks press sec: If it's safe to go back to school, why couldn't Manafort stay in prison?

His shill/press secretary had no answer ...

Am I understanding this correctly? covid-19 is so deadly that Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen had to be released from prison early, but it's also so benign that we need to be packing the nation's children back into their schools pronto? ok cool, that checks out

Trump: "It's totally safe for schools to reopen!"

Trump also: "It's not safe for Manafort and Stone to be in prison."

Republicans aren't pro-life, they're only 'pro-BIRTH' - acting as if the baby's life ends once it's born.

What sense does it make to limit contraceptives and then tell women they can't get an abortion if they have an unwanted pregnancy? Or cut and call for cuts in programs to help them once they're actually born?

All of it makes absolutely no sense, and proves Republicans are only 'pro-BIRTH,' not 'pro-life.'

RECIPE FOR DISASTER: Week 14

- Pull out of the World Health Organization in the middle of an expanding pandemic
- Order the CDC to edit protocols to suit a president who's walked away from us and this pandemic
- Remove our government's primary expert on infectious diseases from now-seldom WH briefings
- Force schools to open schools with germ-magnet children back inside buildings where they can bring COVID in and spread it back to the general public. Threaten to withhold federal funds from school districts if they refuse.

Do the above as we enter flu season and continue to pretend we aren't in the middle of a pandemic.

My thoughts after watching the series of videos last night was that there were more people confronting the a***ole rednecks than there were rednecks. They walked away, but it must have been awfully tempting to unleash a can of whoopass on the barefoot, racist, drunk a***oles.

I remember back when we used to have a dept of education.

Wonder what happened to that....

It went belly up with Betty DeVos.

Who, it should be mentioned, just got public funding of private schools. The goal? Most likely to try to destroy public schools by siphoning off money to fun private Jeebus H acadamies.

I can picture it. Funny!!

Biden has a team devoted to COVID-19 and a plan to deal with it:

Drunk all the time? Not

Biden had a horrible case of stuttering. Stutterers have to race in their mind to either get the word out they're trying to or seek an alternate.

"But their death rate (insert xxxx and xxxx)..."

- The poster in the U.S. military stationed in Germany, who was mentioning Sweden as an example of how great a country does when they don't shut down.

Unconscionable that he'd do this in the middle of a pandemic.

Guess it's what sociopaths do since they're unable to feel empathy for others.

Besides being a horrible president who doesn't seem to mind if hundreds of thousands of Americans die of COVID.

America = Reno 911

That was a funny, witty show.

It's difficult to understand how some stoop to the levels of self-loathing rather than embrace who they are.

That was so funny! Had them singing along with lyrics like:

"Let's give 'em the Wuhan flu ... chop 'em up like the Saudis do"

This could be the start of something ...

$80 in locally targeted Facebook ads, encouraging idiots to show up for this or that fake event, would do the trick.
