Re: Beyond belief
Yes Phat.
Those so deluded that they place SOURCE over CONTENT, BELIEF over REALITY and TESTIMONY over EVIDENCE.
Pitiful, pathetic and self destructive. How sad!
They are the greatest threat the world faces.

placing the graduating West Point class in harms way.
Trump has decided that instead of the VP giving a virtual graduation speech to the class il Donaldo will address the class in person. He has instructed that 1000 grads be brought back to West Point, given covid-19 tests and then quarantined in separate rooms for 14 days before being herded to the ceremony.
quote:
Although a White House spokesperson has said that Trump or the academy could always reschedule or reassess his decision as June 13 creeps closer, especially if the epidemic worsens, Trump has said that he did not like the look of a socially distanced graduation and that he hoped the ‘look’ of the ceremony would be ‘nice and tight.’

That the Superintendent of West Point would even consider such an order makes one wonder.

Re: placing the graduating West Point class in harms way.
So a three star General sending a whole graduating class into unnecessary harm to create a photo op for the President is not unreasonable.

Re: President Pelosi
But please point to any indication that I claim to be undecided?
There is a difference between being honest and trying to choose the lesser evil.
Pelosi is owned by the same oligarchs as Trump or Pence or Biden. The stewardess really asked which shit with glass entree will you have. There is no chicken choice today.
It's time to pretty much screw the Presidency and concentrate on capturing the Senate. I doubt that even that would be sufficient to save the US but winning the Presidency is not just irrelevant, without the Senate it might even hasten the total collapse.
Trump as President with a Democratic Congress may at least provide four years of continuation of some possibility of avoiding devolution.

Yet another Inspector General purged.
And today yet another Inspector General is out to be replaced by one of Pence's stooges. Seems he was looking into possible misbehavior by one or both of the Pompeos as well as a firing based on a person's political position.
quote:
Last year a report by Linick's office found there was evidence to support allegations that the termination of an employee in the Secretary of State's office was made "after significant discussion concerning the employee’s perceived political views" as well as the worker's "perceived national origin."
quote:
House Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot L. Engel, D-New York, said in a statement Friday that he learned Linick "had opened an investigation into Secretary [Mike] Pompeo."
A Democrat aide told NBC news the inspector general "was looking into the Secretary's misuse of a political appointee at the Department to perform personal tasks for himself and Mrs. Pompeo."
Pompeo is married to Susan Pompeo, who's been known to travel with the Secretary of State and was listed as "Special Assistant to the Secretary of State" at a security conference in Germany earlier this year.

Re: Stupid to try
The numbers really can be explained away. Even if the worst projections for Covid-19 actually happened the percentage changes in deaths per 1000 people will be only a percent or at most two. In reality the increasing deaths simply from our aging population and our for profit based health care will simply swamp the additional Covid-19 related numbers.

He really picked the wrong spot, one of the Episcopal Churches in DC with a woman Bishop. She has already spoken out against the photo op and we all know how the Orange Menace takes to being laughed at by strong wimmin.

Re: Law Enforcement in the Time of Trump
Looks like they are Bureau of Prisons or contract forces. Let's privatize police. Wonder if Erick Prince has found a new contract.
Nothing like sucking from the TiT.

That is, I believe, one of the reasons Barr & DeVos are looking more towards contract police and repurposing police rather than the military.
The Gestapo, Stasi and VoPo were not under the command or authority of the Military but rather Political State creations. And that was what we saw in DC recently. Unidentified Police Force that was NOT under the control of the DC government but rather under the direct control of the State. Look for the hallmarks of Barr, DeVos and Erik Prince.

Trump will not even consider renaming US military bases named after Confederates.
AP Hill, Pickett & Lee; in Virginia
Bragg in North Carolina
Benning & Gordon; in Georgia
Rucker in Alabama
Beauregard & Polk; in Louisiana
Hood in Texas
Well, color me Red with surprise.

Re: Trump Is An Idiot
Testing simply shows reality. The people infected with Covid-19 are there even without testing. In fact testing MUST understate the actual number of infected folk.

Re: Bolton’s book
And the Justice Department employee who signed off on the law suit, the head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division that defends presidential administrations in court, Joseph H. Hunt announced that he was leaving the Justice Department after a twenty year career on July 3.
No reason given but it was about three hours or so after filing the lawsuit.
