  2. huffpo:

    Fox News on Sunday repeatedly featured a well-known photo of convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein posing with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago — but each time Trump was edited out of the image. 
    However, Trump’s future wife, Melania Knauss, was not cropped from the photo, which can be viewed in the video above.

  3. Latest news and thought about Covid-19 is that it might be floating around in the air making a mask even more necessary. Haven’t I been saying that even though I wear a mask and gloves, a virus (idea like a spore) could just be floating by randomly and then I’d get it. 

  4. What happened to the govt picking up the tab if you tested positive for COVID.  I’ve heard a couple of horror stories about bills, but wasn’t that the deal?  

  5. Didn’t Joe say something about lowering Medicare to age 60?  He might need to do that if jobs don’t all come back.  He’s going to have a huge mess to clean up.  I’m glad Warren is around to help, even if she’s not veep. She seems like the most well-thought out of anyone. 

  9. Jamie – unfortunately the bubonic plague is endemic in the west.  It sounds scary, but is treatable with antibiotics.

    Hantavirus is scarier because it is a virus.

  10. BB

    I know.  Sweeping floors in the west can be hazardous to your health.  I just thought the timing was interesting.

     

  12. Hard to believe dumbass is asking whether Bubba Wallace and NASCAR apologized to the people who supported him over the noose incident and banning the stars and bars from NASCAR events, attributing their “worst ratings ever” to those events. 

  13. I doubt SFB even knows what stock car racing is.  The only attraction is that it has the battle flag fight, or rather former battle flag fight. 

  15. Just pre-ordered Mary Trump’s book…  that’s one I gotta read!
     
    BiD…  trump is doing a rally at Portsmouth International Airport.  It’s on the seacoast… which is better than him having it in the middle of the state in Manchester.  We live about 80 miles from there.  There might be a few from this town that will attend.  But I’m sure there will be many protesters too.  He will not win NH in Nov.

  16. As I’ve said, I was following Nick Cardero from nearly the beginning when he got Covid-19,  I could never catch his wife’s postings on Instagram because they disappear at some point.  But I was following his nightmare journey with this hideous virus on People,com.  He died. ~RIP~

    The thing I find truly puzzling is that there’s Nick and then there’s Trump!
     
     

  18. There is a move to name Sen Tammy Duckworth as a VP candidate.  These news people need to read their Constitution.  She was born in Thailand and neither parent was in military service (i.e. like McCain).  She wouldn’t be eligible.  Still, you have to admit she would be a magnificent Cabinet appointment and SFB would shrivel at confronting this woman.

  20. One of the victims of the covid-19 epidemic is all the different flavored varieties of diet coke, Including my favorite caffeine free diet coke. All they seem to have is straight coke and diet coke. Don’t know why. So if I want an after dinner  whisky drink and not mess with my sleeping,  it is straight over ice or with water.

  22. The Cruz precedent where the ?Senate ruled him a native born citizen would seem to apply to Tammy

  24. Flatus, could work but it might need a ruling from the Supremes.  Her father was born in Maryland and died in DC. from a very old American family.   He was a veteran who served in WWII,  Korea, and Vietnam, and is buried in Arlington.  

    Tammy Duckworth was born in Bankok, Thailand, the daughter of Lamai Sompornpairin and Franklin Duckworth. Her father, who died in 2005, was a U. S. Army veteran who traced his family’s American roots to the American Revolutionary War.  Her mother is Thai Chinese.  Because of her father’s work with the United Nations and international companies in refugee, housing, and development programs, the family moved around Southeast Asia. Duckworth became fluent in Thai and Indonesian, in addition to English.

  26. Tammy Duckworth is eligible to be president.  One of her parents was an American citizen.  You don’t have to be in the miilitary to achieve citizenship if you are born abroad

  27. Craig

    The GOP is very good at naming things in such a way as to make them sound harmless.  Unfortunately, media doesn’t like upsetting listeners so they go with the “gentle” name.  

     

  29. Idiocy at the office.  A Faux Noiser complaining that 80% of tests are negative, so it’s a waste.  
    If we were testing enough, it would be about 2% positive and we could do contact tracing to quarantine and slow this thing down.   

  35. Thanks, BiD.  It is a VIRUS!!!
     
    Craig, Yep, :call it what it is: white supremacy”!!!!
     
    And right out in the open.  Right in our faces.  Can’t be denied!  Shameful!
     
    I used to be a snowflake.  Then I became a radical, liberal socialist.  Now, I’m a radical, liberal fascist! Who knew.  LMFAO!!

  36.  Jack – I went shopping at a Sam’s Club for the first time in a month, it was a shock.  Half the stock as before, and everything moved.  It looked like it was going out of business.  At least the beef section was filled, finally.

  37. I haven’t had any problem getting groceries here in NH.  I can now find toilet paper, paper towels, and hand sanitizer anywhere.  And I drink caffeine free diet Pepsi…  not any problem finding it.  Beef prices have gone through the roof though.  I paid $18 a pound to get a few ribeye steaks this past week.  

  38. Everything is more now.  I can’t remember the exact number but April had the biggest increase in grocery prices in a long time (maybe ever)

  39. Excellent article by Jennifer Rubin about SFB’s campaign of divisiveness.

    Trump is running a campaign akin to George Wallace’s in 1968, when he denounced “a few anarchists, a few activists, a few militants, a few revolutionaries, and a few Communists … [whose day] is going to be over soon.” If you think I exaggerate, consider that Wallace in 1968 declared, “The American people are not going to stand by and see the security of our nation imperiled, and they’re not going to stand by and see this nation destroyed, I can assure you that.” Wallace insisted, in words that are eerily familiar to voters who listen to Trump: “The pseudo-intellectuals and the theoreticians and some professors and some newspaper editors and some judges and some preachers have looked down their nose long enough at the average man on the street.”

    Fifty-two years later, Trump’s rhetoric has even less currency than such assertions did in Wallace’s era. The country is different. The electorate is different. And the rhetoric of subversion, violence and fear does not really work when you are the one in power and responsible for keeping Americans secure and safe. And on that score, voters are all too aware that Trump has not kept them safe from death, sickness or economic distress. Trump’s bet that Americans are racist and oblivious is a poor one.

    I can’t copy much more from the piece without copying the whole thing, and we know that ain’t the way to post stuff.  Having grown up with George Corley Wallace and his surrogate Lurleen, I can say that I believe Jennifer is exactly right about the parallels between his and SFB’s invocation of white fear of people of color.  The difference?  Wallace was a shrewd politician who apologized to Alabama’s blacks when he ran for governor again after he was shot and won as a result of getting a substantial number of black votes in ‘bama.  SFB will never apologize for being wrong.

  40. Beef always goes up in good times, Fire works sell better in good times. Two indications that Americans aren’t feeling the pinch and that the stimulus package may have been a bit larger than needed. But then again most of it wasn’t targeted to people in need.
    For the most part I’ve been able to get everything I needed. Costco had put paper products on sale in January so I had done my annual stockup. Just couldn’t get disinfectants for a while but the are all in good supply now as are disposable face masks. Still a little high 30 cents each but better than $2 back in Feb. 
    Right now just my Caffeine free Diet Coke, haven’t looked at Pepsi, to sweet. Years ago I used to drink regular 7up but the diet version is undrinkable. I bought a 12 pack on sale last month. Still have half of it. Squeezed some fresh lime juice in it and it is just ok.

  41. 2 pipelines down the drain today.  1st the atlantic withdrawal and now Dakota.  hurrah!

    the hill:

    A court has ordered the Dakota Access Pipeline to shut down, delivering a victory for tribes that have opposed it. 

    Judge James Boasberg on Monday ruled that the pipeline has to be shut down within 30 days while the Army Corps of Engineers works to prepare an environmental impact statement for a rule relaxation that allowed it to cross the Missouri river.

    The court had ruled already that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had violated environmental laws when it gave Dakota Access an eas

     

  43. …wait, that’s not true: i had a steak, this weekend (was yum).  i stopped buying beef, years ago.  It’s never been the economical protein option🤷‍♂️

  46. Great news on the pipelines. The cloud in this silver lining is that the d.a.p. will probably be back. 
     
    The present episode of the culture wars is the white supremacist kultur war. Awhile back it was the boys in the girls bathrooms culture war, or the girls in the boys bathroom – i could never figure out which. Anywhat, that’s gotta be the reason that every duck dynasty wannabee has to have two thundermugs in his two room tarpaper castle. The he’s and the she’s had better never squat on the wrong one. That’d be ‘gainst their god’s natchull ordure.

  47. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/06/health/texas-coronavirus-cases-child-care-facilities/index.html
    A couple of folks have been bringing their kids to work for weeks.  Today, someone brought their small kids to the office and I wonder what kind of daycare problem the have now?  I am not a fan of kids being around, touching things, possibly spreading the virus.   Oh, and despite last week’s event at the office, and, the governor’s mask mandate on Friday, the same idiots were there without masks today.   

  48. So we can have some more fun, there is a tell all book coming out about the Melania.  Not the same level as Bolton, but it should be interesting.

  49. Florida teen dies after conspiracy theorist mom takes her to church ‘COVID party’ and tries to treat her with Trump-approved drug: report

    A Florida mother allegedly took her high-risk teenage daughter to a “COVID party” at their church, tried treating the girl at home with unproven drugs when she got sick — and then hailed her as a patriot after she died.
    Carsyn Davis died June 23, two days after her 17th birthday, after she contracted the coronavirus, reported the News-Press, but former Florida data scientist Rebekah Jones detailed shocking claims in a medical examiner’s report about her illness.

  50. Sorry to hear about Charlie Daniels. Liked his music, Great guitarist and the boy could sure play a fiddle. 

  53. OK, Just in case you are thinking only Americans are too stupid to survive. 
    From Foreign Policy

    All over the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe, 5G towers are being targeted in a bizarre crime spree. The perpetrators? People who—having consumed disinformation spread on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter by celebrities, other users, and even the pro-Kremlin Russian channel RT—have convinced themselves that 5G causes COVID-19 and other maladies. 

    This could be the explanation of the Fermi paradox (Where are all the alien civilizations?)

  54. So, I need to cancel my hair appointment. It’s a threat-level 7?  

    Working a week in an office building is a 6!

    I thought that the education system in the UK was better than in the US.  It seems there are plenty of easily-led/ill-informed,  science-deniers to go around. 

  56. Yours of 7:13 pm reads like a case of child abuse and homicide to me, Mr Tony.  I suppose these are the values that trump promises to protect. I mean, he had thousands of kids kidnapped from their parents and held in cages. 
     
    Dead child cases always upset me.  

  57. 133,000 Americans have died of Covid 19, just to embarrass trump.
     
    They should all be deported.
