CNN) — A woman was arrested after she licked $1,800 worth of merchandise at a California grocery store near the Nevada border, authorities said.

An employee at a Safeway supermarket in South Lake Tahoe told officers that Jennifer Walker, 53, put several pieces of jewelry from the store on her hands and licked them, before loading her shopping cart containing other store items, according to a news release from the city.

The store deemed all of the items in her cart unsellable due to cross-contamination, the employee said.

Walker was booked into the El Dorado County Jail on a charge of felony vandalism. Her bail was set for $10,000.

Trump's biggest lie, 5 words, "This is their new hoax"...His stupidest comment.

What he will be remembered for. Always and forever. Pass it on.

Yes, there were 2 other world leaders who ignored warnings:Neville Chamberlain, Joseph Stalin.

..Most people know that Chamberlain is remembered for his saying, (after signing a treaty with Hitler) We will have, "Peace in Our Time"..Most people do not know that Stalin was warned before the invasion of Russia by Hitler and Stalin ignored the warnings. Stalin had spies in Poland and they informed him that German troops were gathering at the border in what appeared to be a potential invasion. Stalin could not believe that his pal, Hitler, who he had signed documents with and told him he would not invade, would lie, so (I am not sure of this) Stalin went to sleep the night before the invasion, instead of taking any action. So, Trump is in good company with ignoring warnings.

It could happen...Trump, Lindsey Graham, and Mitch McConnell all lose in November..

...Yes, it may seem like a dream. It could happen. Look at what has happened.

Trump like Bush Jr. ignored intelligence reports..

Evidently, an intelligence report said in November that the virus was a world threat. Trump did not take any steps at that time. (no link, yet)..We all know that Bush Jr. also ignored a report on the attack that was coming.
There is a video that was going around showing the world that Bush ignored the report.

U.S. Death Toll Tops 14,000: CNN

...I can't get the link to work, but that is what the headline says at CNN. Maybe number 1. will work, if number 2, doesn't which is the story about the 14,000 deaths..At number 1, it is the 2nd story down on the left side.

There is drastic change the way the news is presented.

At 3:13 pm today we saw a post in General Discussion that said that Acting Navel Secretary has resigned..
I couldn't believe that post..so soon?.......................?? When did that Acting Sec screw up so bad? Now gone?.(.Yesterday..is that when the audio was leaked? I am not sure)

But the original post of the resignation was posted by ............ octoberlib.............in that forum..........

I immediately looked to see if that was correct, and I went to CNN and NYT to see if they had it up yet...
NO..it was not up yet..(I am sitting in a burb near Chicago)..at the computer looking at the news and DU comments and information.

...What must have happened is that octoberlib was connected to CNN earlier than me..at 3:13 pm ET.
.
.My connection in Illinois at the computer, did not have that yet at 3:19pm..for whatever reason???

I looked at about 3:19 ET....both CNN and NYT did not have it then. So I put up a post saying it wasn't there yet ...

..But at 3:24, it was up at CNN........... I immediately took that post down and put up a thank you for that post..

?????????????????????????????????


Maybe it is my location in Illinois, or that octoberlib has a better connection to CNN and was connected
sooner than us here in Illinois. Or, maybe that poster...octoberlib is on the list for immediate news as it happens from CNN...I don't know, and it really doesn't matter. That is up there now, and it wouldn't matter either way..

But imagine if what I saw is totally true. New York would have the news before Los Angeles because although the news is instant...it still takes time to cross the country..and visa versa...??

I don't know, maybe I have been watching all this too much. 5 or 8 minutes rarely makes a difference one way or another.......even in news reporting...but I wanted to post this, somewhere, just for the record..& I need to take a break...Thank You if you have taken the time to read this. I hope all are ok & surviving this disaster.
