It's gone up at least two thousand deaths by today, since we've now topped 150-thousand deaths.

Still no formal figures for today, yet.

She suffered no fools, that Congresswoman Jayapal!

And, for that matter, same with Governor Whitmer.

Proud of, and impressed with, both these women!

They might think it throws some extra red meat to their racist base.

I suspect as much.

Yep. Any opportunity to smear an opponent... with the GOP? It's game on.

The Daily Dread - Tracking the spread, 7/28/20

All I have at the moment, because the Barr hearing dominated everything, was a chyron that the US death too has now surpassed 150,000.

More details if/as I get them.

This was how then-SCOTUS nominee Clarence Thomas characterized tough questioning

during his nomination hearings.

He fumed into the microphone about being the victim of a "high-tech lynching."

So now we have it, happening AGAIN. Only this time it's being attempted against our first African-American (clean, non-scandal-prone) President.

GUYS: NEW MEME! As nastiness revs up toward Election 2020

Notice how often various republi-CONS are now referring to the "Obama/Biden" this and that, trying to lambaste the previous administration for all kinds of wrongs.

They're including "Biden" now when they're attempting to rewrite history against President Obama.

Okay? You're slamming Obama/Biden again, in a shameless attempt at a two-fer.

Going after Obama again, 'eh?

Sounds like another "High-Tech Lynching" to me.

So now, the GOP is trying to perpetrate a "high-tech lynching" of our former President.

A new "High-Tech Lynching."

Pass it on.
