I merely wanted to point out that, had the kids been black, they would have been far more likely to be shot by the police.

Trump would still say the coronavirus is under control even if he was the last man on earth and everyone else had died of corona. He's beginning to remind me of that Iraqi minister of information (or spokesman for the Iraqi goverment, something like that) at the beginning of the first Gulf War. He was giving press conferences and assuring everyone that everything was under control and that Iraq was not under attack, while outside you could hear the air raid alarms and bombs and missiles exploding.

Gee, who would have thunk it, what with such expert leaders at the helm, taking charge of this crisis immediately and decisively from the getgo back in March/April.

"An administration official said O'Brien, 54, had not had contact with the president in several days. Another said he had last been at the White House last week."
There are two very concerning revelations. First, that the NSA is infected with COVID-19, and second, that trump said he hadn't seen the NSA, lately, while admin official said NSA had not had contact with trump, in several days.
The NSA is the country's top advisor on global security issues. In previous admins, NSA met, regularly, and talked, daily, with POTUS, for intelligence briefings, to stay on top of world affairs. With China, Russia, Iran, N. Korea, all involved in one global crisis/emergency or another, it is mind boggling how trump could not be in contact with his NSA, for several days.
My thoughts exactly. But even if Trump had met with O’Brien just one minute before he was asked that question, he probably still would have denied it. The man just can’t help himself, being the compulsive liar that he is.

I was stung by a jellyfish once off Koh Lanta, on my right shoulder. That hurt like hell for three days, wouldn’t be at all surprised if that had been a box jellyfish. If it was, I think I can count myself very lucky that I’m still alive, though.

Oh great, first the OAG pannel and now the Thai police as well. Or is that the same thing? Anyway, it doesn’t matter, because apparently not everyone has been paid off yet and even more people are now rubbing their hands together in expectation of receiving a big fat brown envelope.

Thai Red Bull distances itself from hit-and-run case as boycott calls grow
One would think that the family gets their money out of the Red Bull company, right? So who paid for all of Boss’s lawyers and legal costs? For all of his traveling all over the world and staying in five star hotels for years? Not to mention all the many, many big fat brown envelopes that changed hands to make this all go away?

For once I do agree with Pompeo, to some extent at least, but of course it’s a clear cut case of the pot calling the kettle black. I mean, the USA have been the world’s super power for decades, and I imagine it has done a lot of nasty things to get there and to remain in that position.

Two Thai immigration officers transferred for allegedly taking visa extension bribes
Just two? I would find it a lot more believable if there were at least two (or even three) zeros behind that two.

The poster you quoted wasn't rejoicing because she has cancer, but because it means that sooner or later another conservative justice will be on SCOTUS.
BTW, I've had cancer. The people that didn't like me didn't change their minds because of it.
Where I come from, you don’t ‘rejoice’, for whatever reason, if someone gets cancer, certainly not if that person has served her country so well for so long. And to be totally honest, I am not at all sure that that poster wasn’t rejoicing because she has cancer, that’s just your take on it, isn’t it?

If it's just one it's already too many, but I'm betting it's (way) more than one. And you do know they can carry the virus and pass it on to their (grand)parents, uncles and aunts, don't you? But who cares, it's just a flu, right?

I think Stone has got a lot of dirt on Trump, so maybe this was a quid pro quo: Trump pardons Stone and Stone is not going to rat on Trump. The last thing Trump needs is another book about all his shady dealings, both as a businessman (and I use that term very loosely here, mind you) and as president.

Yeiks!!! That’s scary looks pretty clean like it hasent been used hope that’s true glad the coppers caught the perps
It hadn’t been used yet. The Dutch police have recently hacked some kind of secure and encrypted messaging service a la whatsapp (which turned out not to be secure and encrypted enough) that was used by criminals. They felt so sure that this service was safe that they openly discussed drugs deals, hits, and things lik that. This torture chamber also came up. The Dutch police have been making a lot of arrests over the past few weeks, and I expect quite a few more soon.

Should have been fines levied as well for granting access without proper approvals, since both parties understood what they were doing was breaking the law.
Couldn't agree with you more. I am very surprised, however, that the usual suspects (i.e. the Trump devotees and anti-environmentalists) on this forum are not out in force and haven't jumped on this topic to bitch and moan about how the bleeding-heart liberals and snowflakes are hurting the economy and causing people to lose their jobs.

13 hours ago, scorecard said:He visited several factories/location where there was easily noticeable signs telling staff they had to wear masks.
trump either ignored the signs and didn't wear a mask, or he said he din't want to wear a mask and out of politeness the seniors of these locations said 'ok, never mind' but they continued to wear masks.
His actions would be taken as a strong indicator that masks are not needed.
Inappropriate for trump to behave like this, but as always he does whatever is needed to draw extra attention to himself.
Trump even went so far as to say that (some) people wear masks as a sign that they don't like him. I mean, I already knew the man was a raving narcissist, but this is beginning to border on the clinically insane.

There is a lot of very high density factory farming there, and they probably also use sh*tloads of antibiotics on those animals. Viruses love environments like that.

When one side owns a runs the media don't believe everything that is put out there.
By the way I have no affiliation to either side I am just a passive observer.
So it was the media that made the guy in the video shout "white power", was it? And it was the media that made Trump retweet it, right?

Sweden compares favourably to countries like the US and Britain, where lockdowns produced worse mortality rates, while wrecking their economies and trampling citizens' rights.
The Swedes were too gentlemanly to point out another salient fact. Numerous experts predict deaths caused by months of house arrest will far exceed those attributed to virus.
But Sweden compares quite badly to their neighboring countries where swift action was taken. You're also naming the two countries (USA and UK) with probably the worst reaction to the virus: it was downplayed for a long time and the virus could spread freely before measures like a lockdown were taken. No wonder both the USA and the UK suffered such high mortality rates, since they didn’t act before massive damage had already been done.

All he admitted was to was not having sufficiently protected elderly folk in residential and nursing homes. Overall he was satisfied with Sweden's response.
The Swedish government's decision to treat its citizens like adults rather than unruly children paid off not only in terms of the preserving civil liberties - egregiously trashed in lockdown countries - but in minimising the pandemic's impact on the economy.
How can he have been satisfied with Sweden’s response when he admitted that too many people died and that if he could do it again he would opt for a ‘regime’ in between what his neighboring countries had done and what Sweden had done?
Besides, many so-called adults obviously refuse to act like responsible adults, as is apparent now that lockdowns are being eased or totally abandoned. Just look at what is happening in America, where infection rates in states like Florida, Oklahoma and Arizona are spiking.-
