There, there...Putin still loves him.
Trump is no friend of Putin, no one in the modern era has been tougher on Russia than president Trump including oil economics in the Baltic and arms support for Poland. For 8 years Putin kicked sand in Obama's face; Crimea peninsula, Ukraine, backing Assad in Syria, deleting US uranium supplies, ignoring weapons treaties, Iran nuc deal and more.
Check Brookings Institute.

Let me guess, the deep state will be giving Biden the answers ? Or maybe China will arrange it, then again, I wouldnt rule out the globalist new world order.
We are going to need a bigger tin foil hat.
Sadly, (or maybe not) there will be no presidential debates this election as Joe "will acquire a case of the wuhan flu" so he can duck out of the debates and blame Trump for the cancelled debates! Fantastic strategy for the dems. Another possibility and likelihood scenario is that a HUGE bombshell is being planned for launching in the coming days, weeks, right up to election that rocks the foundation of a particular candidate and affording no time to recover. Wait and see. Politics is serious business.

And yet he'll STILL be reelected. For some very basic and compelling reasons.

The verdict may not be available for 3 months or more.
Have you ever been to Minnesota during December-March?
The weather is not conducive to rallies, protests, marches, mass rioting or looting.
There were no murders, rapes or police deaths associated with the Floyd event protests. why would they suddenly start?
11 hours ago, geriatrickid said:not on the specific charges, but there are other charges available. If you recall the history of the civil rights movement in the USA, when southern states would acquit on state charges, the feds could get a conviction under federal laws. when the "man" wants to get you, he will get you.
The police officers here are subject to a collective agreement and pension fun regulations which protect their pensions.
- They come under the Minnesota Public Employees Retirement Association pension agreement
- Chuavin, the principal accused, is eligible for his pension at age 50 valued at US $1.5 million+ over a 30-year period (COLA and top up payments are in addition)
- Minnesota is not a state that requires forfeiture of the pension. (The pension is paid in part by the employee, investment returns and mostly by employer contribution)
The family can bring civil damage litigation and a criminal conviction is almost a certain guarantee of a plaintiff winning the civil suit. The issue that arises is whether or not the pension could be seized in whole or in part. Only the federal government is allowed to do that (in part) for taxes. Also allowed is partial seizure for alimony and child support. If the accused declare bankruptcy, there will be nothing to seize.
Of interest will be who is obliged to pick up the legal fees of the accused. it will run into the millions. I expect the taxpayers will be paying this.
The police union or association will pay the legal fees of cops charged for crimes while on the job, not the tax payers.
Floyd's family can attempt to sue the police officers but that's likely to get nowhere in the courts due to; ("qualified immunity” defense, which is a doctrine created by the Supreme Court that says that government officials are immune from being sued even if they violate the Constitution), but there are civil remedies they can pursue against the city of Minneapolis which I think has already occurred.
The outcome of any criminal cases will have zero relevance or impact to any civil cases launched by Floyd's family against Chauvin and his co-accused OR the city of Miuneapolis as the burden of proof standards are very different. Refer to OJ Simpson, acquitted of murder but successfully sued in a California civil court.

True, except they can be tried in civil court and pay fines more than they can make in their lifetimes. OJ Simpson was found not guilty but tried again in a civil trail; very costly in his wallet.
It's unlikely Floyd's family can sue Minneapolis police officer D Chauvin or the other co-defendants in the state of MN. due to qualified immunity. Instead Floyd's family and other tax payers in Minnesota will actually be funding the fired cops retirement pension when he starts to collect it.

This sounds positive, great tourist program, but what tourists are targeted,: the ones that are not allowed to enter Thailand under the current and ongoing, no end in sight, soon to be acerbated western flu season covid debacle? Or the ones that are here, but NOT REALLY here?

Was speaking to a Thai friend of mine recently and she said "the economy will recover soon because everyone wants to visit Thailand". Had a bit of a laugh at that and chatted about how expensive Thailand is now for smelly old westerners, and how the Thai love of endless paperwork and bureaucracy has soured many people's opinions of the place. I mentioned how I can enter Mexico visa free for 6 months no questions asked, and how it takes >100 sheets of paper for me to apply for my marriage extension here. Plus how easy it is to reside in Cambodia with little more than a few passport photos, the required money in USD and 5 minutes to fill out a form.
Sometimes it seems like Thai people are living in a bubble. They don't know what other countries offer, and assume that Thailand is the best country in the world. Now seems like the best possible time to start reigning in some of the ridiculous requirements for people who just want to come here and spend their hard-earned money in the country. If they want to keep the bad guys out, surely all they need is to do a background check rather than requesting endless pieces of paper and hand-drawn maps which will get filed away somewhere never to be seen again?
How is it possible for Thai immigration to conduct criminal background checks at the airport immigration counter based on their systems, if that's what you are alluding to, on the myriad of potentially dangerous criminals entering Thailand daily, (pre-covid outbreak) on VOA unchecked, unvetted, zero pre-screening, no access or links to criminal data banks from the west and all other corners of the globe? It's impossible under their current system. The only way to weed out the undesirables is to?? Apply for a visa, everyone except countries bordering Thailand, PRIOR to travel. Until then expect the worst of the worst to make Thailand's resorts the resort haven it isn't.

Trump holds campaign rally indoors despite coronavirus concerns

Any covid numbers from the recent Sturgis rally attended by 460,000 people? Some experts would say "estimates" of 250,000 new covid cases, testing and facts present a different metric of less than 300 cases.
Where do you go from here?
