#OrangeManBad Besides, dontchya know the Wuhan virus does not spread during protesting, looting, or rioting, but it jumps people sitting next to one another at a Trump rally!?

This is more than a load up... there are 168 hours in a week. 40 work hours + 69 OT hours = 109 hours at work per week. 168-109 = 59 hours. Sleeping + commuting + eating + shopping + anything else in 59 hours a week for basically two years? Work laws have to come into play with her job needing to have time off? Is she union and mandated to have XX amount of time off every two weeks? And who is authorizing all that OT?

Note: A public school in England is private school in the US

I thought the whole idea was more testing, which would discover more cases as we move toward herd immunity? I thought overwhelming the hospitals is what would be bad, not necessarily testing positive for COVID-19/antibodies (unless it landed you in the hospital)?

Chaz is asking for foreign aid

But that is victim blaming. Poor little guys whacking the cops with boards were taken and were arrested. And so forcibly! They were just there to protest, dontchyaknow? I think they missed a guy in a white shirt with a skateboard that was smacking some of the cops in the back with it when they were arresting one of the other "protesters." I hope they got him later.

Since Sullivan already has had time to "do the right thing and dismiss" - as a matter of fact, nothing is stopping him from doing it right now, well, nothing we concretely know, I am not certain what the point in continuing would be except to drag this out to when Sullivan "gets around" to signing.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.

I bet it comes down to (based on my knowing nothing): Trump judge - dismiss Obama judge - send back Reagan judge - ?‍♂️

Sullivan's attorney seems to be arguing... let's keep going. You never know what Sullivan is gonna do! Man, what Flynn has to say must really be something that the #resistance crowd is going to these lengths.

Does this Obama judge think Flynn killed George Floyd? This is weird. (For all I know it is common, but as a lay person, seems weird.)

Wall is making a case even a dummy like me can understand.

I have him on ignore. I'd never know if he mentioned me if he was not quoted (and I saw in another post he tagged someone who was not me). ?

Tucker doing Tucker-snark. And, he does it well. Unfortunately for the residents of Seattle, the subject matter is horrible.

Wholly Puck:

I'll address what others have not yet responded to: -I won't bemoan you of this, but it is my understanding that you retired at a relatively young age. Is that correct? I realize I don't actually know how old you are, but I thought you were younger... like in your 40s or early 50s. If so, you and your hubby are probably in a pretty good place financially and have been for years I apologize if I'm mistaken on that last point but it seems like a logical conclusion if you were able to retire young. understand some individuals might be paying more under Obamacare and I'm not going to pretend it's a perfect law, but it's done a lot more good than bad in this country, especially for low income uninsured people. I would not have minded paying more if I was getting more. Instead, it Obamacare gave us choices of craptastic insurance plan A and craptastic insurance plan B (and NYS was one of the "lucky" states with choices!). Oh, and here's the higher bill you can pay, thank-you-very-much. Next time Nancy Pelosi says, "We have to pass XX to see what is in it," I am holding on to my wallet and crying. One thing I wish Trump would do (I "think" he may need Congress to do it though) is insurance across state lines. That might help. It might not, but people cannot keep paying the higher premiums for worse insurance. -It's not true he plays golf way more than President Obama did? It's not true that he constantly plays on his own resorts or spends weekends in Mara Lago in a resort his company owns? It's not true his company benefits financially in some way from him doing this? It's not true that out of the blue we started flying Military planes to a small airport near one of Trump's Golf courses out of the blue? Is he not allowed to exercise? People will complain he's fat, then in the next breath complain he's taking his down time in a round of golf. I am sure you cheered on King Put when he was out goofin'. Why complain when Trump goes out and does the same?

Behind China’s Twitter Campaign, a Murky Supporting Chorus Swarms of accounts are amplifying Beijing’s brash new messaging as the country tries to shape the global narrative about the coronavirus and much else. </snip> Of the roughly 4,600 accounts that reposted China’s leading envoys and state-run news outlets during a recent week, many acted suspiciously, The Times found. One in six tweeted with extremely high frequency despite having few followers, as if they were being used as loudspeakers, not as sharing platforms. Nearly one in seven tweeted almost nothing of their own, instead filling their feeds with reposts of the official Chinese accounts and others. In all, one third of the accounts had been created in the last three months, as the war of words with the Trump administration heated up. One in seven had zero followers. </snip> Much is unknown about China’s covert influence activities in particular. Twitter last year suspended more than 200,000 accounts that it called a Chinese state-backed operation aimed at discrediting Hong Kong’s protesters, though it said little about how it came to that conclusion. </snip> Still, The Times’s findings add to other recent evidence suggesting that Twitter is being manipulated to amplify pro-Beijing messages. Next Dim, a data firm in Israel, discovered two mundane-looking tweets praising China’s coronavirus response that were liked and reposted hundreds of thousands of times in March, possibly with the help of strategically placed influencer accounts. The U.S. State Department found inauthentic-seeming accounts that in April cited a Cambridge University study to raise doubts that the coronavirus originated in China. The most active of these accounts referred to the study in scores of tweets, even though the study’s lead author dismissed that interpretation of its findings. Neither Next Dim’s findings nor the State Department’s have been previously reported. </snip>
