That Russian bounty story has floated away. Never to be heard from again.

Like that volleyball in the movie, "Castaway".

US Covid-19 Cases Update: CA joins NY with each now having 400K+ cases. FLA closing in on CA.

I guess no one learned from NY's example. Like a bad horror movie, where the people venture into the murder basement instead of fleeing for safety.

OMG!!!!

Excerpt from Chris Wallace's interview with Trump:

WALLACE: But, sir, we have the seventh highest mortality rate in the world. Our mortality rate is higher than Brazil, it's higher than Russia and the European Union has us on a travel ban.

TRUMP: Yeah. I think what we'll do -- well, we have them under travel ban too, Chris. I closed them off. If you remember, I was the one that did the European Union very early.

But when you talk about mortality rates, I think it's the opposite. I think we have one of the lowest mortality rates in the world.

WALLACE: That’s not true, sir. We, we, we have a -- we had 900 deaths on a single day...

TRUMP: We will take a look...

WALLACE: ... just this week...

TRUMP: Ready?

WALLACE: You, you can check it out.

TRUMP: Can you please get me the mortality rate?

TRUMP: Kayleigh's right here. I heard we have one of the lowest, maybe the lowest mortality rate anywhere in the world.

TRUMP: Do you have the numbers, please? Because I heard we had the best mortality rate.

TRUMP: Number, number one low mortality rate.

TRUMP: I hope you show the scenario because it shows what fake news is all about. Ok, go ahead.

WALLACE: OK, OK. I don’t think I’m fake news but I will -- we’ll put --

TRUMP: Yeah, you will --

WALLACE: -- put our stats on --

TRUMP: You said we had the worst mortality rate in the world --

WALLACE: I said you had --

TRUMP: -- and we have the best.

If this is how this nation handles a pandemic, what chance do we have against Climate Change?

If I had children, I would look for ways for them to live outside of the U.S. when they become adults. I'm being totally serious.

Ever since March 2019, every single poll in the RCP average of polls has shown Biden ahead of Trump.

except for 4 polls, three of those were by Emerson.

To be clear, Real Clear Politics ("RCP&quot records polls from outlets like Fox News, ABC News, CNN, IBD/TIPP, Monmouth, Quinnipiac, etc. Every time one of these outlets report findings, they post the results and RCP posts the average of the polls over the last 15 days or so. In every single reported poll since March 27, 2019, Biden has lead Trump with the exception of those 4 polls.

I post this to disprove Trump's current narrative that he was "sailing to victory" if it wasn't for the virus when he was trailing Biden consistently for year BEFORE the virus hit the U.S. He was always losing.

Is it illegal for a non-partisan, unpaid volunteer to stand in line for a voter ?

Maybe to give them a break to use the bathroom or get something to eat or run an errand? Is that considered election fraud?

Is this Twitter hack a dry run before the election in the Fall?

You know get a sense of Twitter's security measures and counter measures to prepare for future hacks?

Please tell me that I being a paranoid, conspiracy theorist. Please tell me that I am crazy. That I should calm down and relax.

In 5 or 6 days or so, FLA may overtake 2nd place CA in the total number of covid-19 cases

Think about that for a second. CA was one of the first and most hard hit states back in March, and yet FLA is now in a position to over take it. If they don't get it under control, they may over take NY by the end of the summer.

Republicans who are too afraid to go to their own convention in FL cannot demand that schools open.

If you don't go, then shut the hell up about the schools.
