Some locals in Tulsa are suing to stop the rally from being held on the obvious grounds that it's a public health danger. Here's what the lawyer for the Arena said in defense of holding the event:

"Joseph Farris, an attorney for ASM Global, a Los Angeles-based company that manages the city-owned BOK Center, conceded that there were risks inherent in hosting such an event during a pandemic.

“We certainly agree that the CDC and other relevant medical experts believe that this type of event is ill advised,” Farris said. “No question about it."

If I am a local in Tulsa, I will move out for 2 weeks. The danger to public health is just too real and inevitable. 19,000 cheering rally goers in an enclosed venue and a few more thousand outside and most will not wear mask. Droplets, aerosolized and surface transmission all over the place. When the rally over, they will patronized surrounding facilities and will further spread the virus and most will be untraceable. Every person who has the virus will pass it on to 2 to 2.5 others and even higher when one sick person can infect 4.7 to 6.6 others. The multiplying effect will be catastrophic. In 2 weeks time after the rally, we will know the full extent of this foolish gathering to just massage Trump's ego.

Quite honestly, this is why we have had so many victories against this administration in court. They just refuse to follow the rules,"

Borrowing the words of a infamous man “so much winning you may even get tired of winning and you’ll say please please, it’s too much winning. We can’t take anymore”. Clown show coming back to haunt him in November.

Funny how when Bolton was security advisor the Left would deride him constantly, but now, because he writes stuff about Trump you are all eager to believe him.

Personally, I have always thought he was just a warmongering fool, but, hey, what would I know?

Not at all funny. He is still derided for his hawkish foreign policies including regime changes, termination of the Iran nuclear deal and his support for invading Iraq. Many still despise him but will read his book anyway. His memoir exposures of Trump's wrongdoings are up to the public to judge. Trump's vigorous attempt to block his book will make Bolton's book more believable and credible.

Timing of the Bills' signing is of course no co-incidence at all - LOL

Those China hawks within the GOP must be mighty uncomfortable knowing that Trump supported the Uighurs detention camp. Their moral high ground over China's treatment of the Uighers seem undermined even with his 'damage control' bill.

It is clearly designed to scare away people away from the rally. It's a flu virus that kills 0.3% of those infected WAKE UP.  I don't hear you liberals saying this about the LOOTING crowds.

So it’s infectious and deadly. Let’s go and massage his ego. No mask and sign the waiver.

All I saw was BLM and Antifa banners and all interviewed were lefties.  It seems a reasonable conclusion that the vast majority were left?

The wide support for the protest does mean that there likely to be right leaning participation. With 2/3 US adults strongly support, my personal conclusion is that there are both left and right in the protests. Seem a fair conclusions 

The poll further revealed lean Rep majority supported that George Floyd’s death was wronged and there are tension between black and police. Further reinforcing that your conclusion may be skewed.

This really is a ticking time bomb of exponential increase of infections. Thousands in-doors for up to 8 hours of vociferous and cheering with respiratory droplets flying all over the air from fervent supporters who will most probably followed Trump and not wearing masks. Will see if Trump will protect himself behind a plastic protective device. Me first policy.

Pretty outrageous stuff that Trump was engaged in...but not surprising.  The man has no morals or core values.  Some of this stuff is textbook treason, i.e., Trump is a traitor.  So what do you call people who supports a traitor? 

He is also dumb bat sh.. stupid. He thought that Finland was part of Russia and didn't know UK had nuclear weapons. The book had a reference to Pompeo saying 'he is full of sh...'. He is no patriot; asking China to help in his re-election by buying more agriculture products and agreeing with China on the Uyghurs detention camps.

No.

It will bring out those who didn’t vote last election. His repeated transgressions will be unbearable for voters to sit out again. 

Both countries ill afford to go to war at the times of economic woes. None of both leaders issued any official comment. Just border skirmishes and will be sorted out relatively quickly.

Double Trouble

 

John Bolton's book, will be followed by Mary Trump's, Donalds niece. By now we know the plot, but they delve deeper; Boltons into incompetence, personal benefit, and US foreign relations/policy. Mary's a more personal work on how he manipulated his tax returns, to profit from bankruptcy after bankruptcy of business ventures.

 

BTW the book is printed, already shipped so it is coming out. No way POTUS can stop it. What it is does show is Ukraine style malfeasance around the world. Giving aid if he, POTUS gets aid or info, against his enemies; quid pro quo .  All from a hard line, ex Bush.jr., Republican, clearly fed up with the current regime.

 

As I find myself am staying home this rainy season, both look to be required reading.  

June 23rd, date to watch for book release. Timing about right for marketing blitz or the book will be redundant after November. 

His usual foul mood over Merkel's G7 snub and grandstanding for his domestic audience. Congress or the Pentagon will push back hard. Bluster and no bite from Mr. Fickle.

No, that is what the word means .

Look in a dictionary 

“say or write something that is not true in order to deceive someone”

Let’s examine the evidences.

Promise to build the wall in his first term.

Promise Mexico will pay for the wall. 

He said and pledged both promises to deceived his supporters. He did lied.
