Does Anyone Think Senator Tim Scott Is Really Drafting The Police Reform Plan For The Repugs?.....

I have to believe that Trump along with the Repug Party will be drafting the Police Reform Plan and that the Repugs will make Sen Tim Scott the person to front or introduce the plan. Any thoughts on this?

Is The Trump Administration Ready For A Second Wave Of Covid-19?.......

Trump has blamed the Obama Administration for not having the PPE needed to fight the first wave of Covid-19. Trump's Administration was in full force for 3 years at the initiation of the virus in the U.S. and still blamed the lack of supplies (i.e., ventilators, masks, gloves, swabs, tests, PPE, etc) on Obama.

Well - 112,000+ Americans have died from Covid-19 to date. Trump has minimized the talk of Covid by silencing the Task Force and is promoting re-opening the country.

Already we're seeing a rise in positive Covid cases in States that pushed into re-opening before meeting all the criteria for re-opening. Shortly we should be seeing both hospitalizations and deaths start climbing as well.

The question now is - seeing that the Trump Administration has now had months to prepare for a second wave of Covid to terrorize the country - Is the Trump Administration ready (have all the necessary supplies available) to fight a second wave?

He can't blame - not being prepared anymore on the Obama Administration. The responsibility falls entirely on his administration now.

CBS Has Cancelled The Following Comedy SitComs & Shows With A Message.....

Man With a Plan, Carol's Second Act, Broke, and God Friended Me.

These were all wholesome family type shows that are needed during this time of pandemics and protests. I don't know what those people at CBS are thinking.

I suppose they will put on more violent cop shows or stupid reality and game shows for us as replacements. A lot of the new shows that TV is airing are made to appeal to just the lowest common denominator of Americans.

I've given up watching premiers of new shows - because I get into them and then they are cancelled just as they are hitting their stride.

Is The Peace Protest Tent Still Positioned In Front Of The WH That Kept Vigil For Years?.....

Everytime I was in D.C. I would visit the Peace Protest Tent in front of the WH. I used to talk to a gentleman that kept vigil there and after he died - a woman. Given all the action by the WH and Lafeyette Park - I was wondering if that vigil was still being carried on or if it was finally closed down by Trump's Administration?

Does anyone know?

To me - that was an important destination when one went to the Nation's Capitol City. It is just as important as the WH, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial and the Capitol Building. I used to recommend to anyone that I knew would visit D.C. - that they had to stop by this tent; talk to the person(s) manning the tent; learn about their mission and make a donation to support continued visibility of such a Peace Monument.

I always thought that someone should make a movie about the gentleman who first set up the vigil and his plight.

I thought I heard that somewhere. I don't get how they could. Is it true?

What Is The Obligation Of The Military If Trump Gives Them An Order To Violate The Constitution?....

If Trump orders them to attack American People and that is not in the mission of the military - what recourse does the military have to deal with that and Trump's unlawful order.

I understand the military is to follow orders and Trump is the Commander-In-Chief. But what if he gives an unlawful order? What do they do?

I understand that many of the Top Brass of the military have spoken out against Trump already - but is that enough?

Both Trump & The Dems Have Expressed Concern Over A Fair Election In November.....

Is there any group or body (like the UN) that can come in and supervise the election to assure that it comes off as fair with no stealing of votes, cheating, voter suppression or other funny stuff?

Can both sides Repugs/Trump and the Dems agree to have a independent group monitor the November election?

I fear that no matter the outcome of the election in November - the side that loses will cry foul. I'm just wondering if Congress can come up with a solution now to prevent that from happening.

It's the Boy Scout in me. Be Prepared!!!!

I See That Repug Senators Are Wearing Their Covid Masks .....

They are not protecting themselves from Covid with their masks. They are using their masks so they can duck questions by the press about the insanity emanating out of the WH and Trump.

They can mumble something more unintelligible than they normally do and you can't understand what they are saying. It's a good dodge on their part.

I'm thinking even after we have a vaccine and this Covid thing is past us - they continue to wear their masks.

Can We Now Call This A "Constitutional Crisis" Yet?......

I've heard that term being thrown around for the last 3 1/2 years now. Have we finally reached the point where we can officially declare a 'constitutional crisis'? Did Trump finally cross the line?
