Zuckerberg opting to filter out parts of an official communication from the US president
cr*p communication or not the president is deprived of a slice of freedom of speech
by and large I think maybe its more healthy to fight presidents by ballots every 4 years
rather than through shaping mass communication channels to your liking
free speach isn't license to kill

Ok fellas, just keep schools closed, continue to charge property owners taxes for schooling that isn’t happening and blocking parents from going to work all at the same time because covid.
Then have a few more public funerals, protests, and riots to show those same parents on the news while they sit home thinking <deleted>.
Very bold strategy, guys. I do not understand how anyone in their right mind thinks this is a winner but apparently this forum has quite the strange demographic.
Treat frontline and essential workers kids like Trump kids and send everyone safely to school. Period.
The only precaution Trump takes for his fellow citizens is to have them sign a waiver. What a winner.

There is a huge difference. I jumped off the Golden Gate bridge, and I ALMOST jumped off the Golden Gate bridge - they have a rather different outcome. Please try keeping a sense of reality, there is no point just making stuff up to attack Trump.
yes and no, not almost, see Schrödinger's feline paradox, LOL

"Another 21% said they thought Trump was concerned about voter fraud, and 10% said Trump “wants to protect Americans from the spread of coronavirus at polling locations.”
" Donald Trump’s campaign says it knocked on over 1 million doors in the past week alone. Joe Biden’s campaign says it knocked on zero. Trump and the Republican National Committee, in contrast, started deploying mask-wearing field staffers and volunteers to the streets in June. The GOP quickly ramped up and now claims more than a million doors a week despite Covid-19 surges across the country, including in swing states like Arizona."

"Two thirds of registered American voters oppose delaying the Nov. 3 presidential election due to the coronavirus pandemic, and more than half think President Donald Trump floated the idea of postponing it last week to help himself politically, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling released on Wednesday."

"Trump claimed during the coronavirus briefing that mail-in voting is only safe if the governor is a Republican, like in Florida. "In the case of Florida, they’ve done a great job. They’ve been doing it over many years and made it really terrific. So for Florida, you can mail in your ballots. "
"President Donald Trump plans to sue to stop Nevada from issuing mailed ballots to all active voters, he announced at a White House briefing on Monday.
Trump had already threatened legal action earlier in the day, suggesting mailed ballots would make it impossible for Republicans to win there in the November general election."
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/03/trump-nevada-mail-voting-lawsuit-390878
"“The RNC now lists a total of 17 states where they and the Trump campaign are engaged in legal battles related to mail-in voting,” the MSNBC host reported. “This is a full, concerted effort by the entire Trump administration and, crucially, the Republican party … to undermine the legitimacy of the election.”"

"Voting by mail has become a controversial issue for President Trump's re-election campaign. He talked to chief political correspondent Jonathan Swan about his lack of confidence in the system in his "Axios on HBO" interview. Swan, though, countered Trump on some of his oft-repeated lines at some key moments. Example: Trump’s frequent attacks on mail-in voting as fraudulent. "

"Brexit is being presented as a beacon of hope for small-scale fishers. ..
"no deal Brexit" scenario:
-> The UK claims high quota shares and access to waters, but the EU responds with high tariff and non-tariff barriers, and fails to reduce its own quota share or fishing pressure
-> Brexit negotiations turn sour and the most adversarial outcomes prevai
-> winners: Improvement in economic performance (earnings, profits, wages) for fleet segments with large quota holdings. Similar to Hard Brexit, but with smaller gains.
-> losers: reduction in economic performance for fleets segments with small quota holdings. Similar to Hard Brexit, but with larger losses."
( vessels (under 10 metres) make up 77% of the UK fishing fleet, they hold only 1.5% of the quota... it's up to the fisheries Minister to allocate more UK quota to small vessels over large)
OTHERS BREXIT SCENARIOS AND STUDY RESULTS: This report is the first attempt to weigh the risks and opportunities of Brexit for UK fishers, analysing six different possible scenarios for Brexit Hard Brexit, Soft Brexit, Fisheries First Brexit, Fisheries Last Brexit, No deal Brexit

5 hours ago, seajae said:problem is dems are using lies and innuendo to make their points so he is trying to get at the truth which dems refuse to do, maybe if dems were honest about it he wouldnt attack them. His points when the AG was questioned about dems totally ignoring the truth about the rioting etc as well as them not letting the AG reply to their questions was spot on to anyone that watched it, what is needed is the truth and not all the dems BS
And why single out "protesters"only .. and not for instance Tulsa Trump's rally, and why did attendees had to sign COVID-19 waiver? And why did Trump campaign remove thousands of social distancing stickers? And why not in-person fundraising rallies? Where is the difference?

He oversees an extensive research portfolio of basic and applied research to prevent, diagnose, and treat established infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, tuberculosis and malaria as well as emerging diseases such as Ebola and Zika. NIAID also supports research on transplantation and immune-related illnesses, including autoimmune disorders, asthma and allergies.
"I’ve known Fauci since the H.I.V./aids epidemic exploded, in the mid-eighties. He once explained to me that he has developed a method for dealing with political leaders in times of crisis: “I go to my favorite book of philosophy, ‘The Godfather,’ and say, ‘It’s nothing personal, it’s strictly business.’ ” He continued, “You just have a job to do. Even when somebody’s acting ridiculous, you can’t chide them for it. You’ve got to deal with them. Because if you don’t deal with them, then you’re out of the picture.”"

Whatever the ethics of it, I can guarantee you there are large numbers of millennials right now that don't find the thought of a few million less boomers on the planet a bad thing. Bonus points if they are set to inherit.
They run around and party and disregard social distancing, go to Covid parties and generally don't care.
I can guarantee you that in the eyes of a 5 y.o, a millenial is old, and it's hard to be an orphan

Sure he is. He's so enjoyed being harrased daily by most of the so called journalists in the country, being mocked by other country's leaders, and his family being attacked over everything, that he's desperate for another 4 years of it.

The war ended in 1945 that is 75 years ago. Germany has the 4th largest economy in the world, the U.K. 6th and France 7th. Seems like they should have enough money to support their own defense.
In 2019:
- the US - population 330M - contributed nearly €470 million - to NATO's budget of €2.12 billion: 22% of NATO's budget
to be compared to;
Germany + France : population 150M - contribution: 25.2% of NATO's budget
- Germany - population 83M - contribution 14,6 % of NATO's budget
- France - population 67M - contribution : 10.6% of NATO's budget
But yes, The EU needs full strategic autonomy with regards to China, Turkey, ME, Africa..
