If this was Ebola, would Trump and his Trump bots respond differently ?

Doctors and nurses handle potential coronavirus patients without
adequate protective gear, and they are getting sick.

National Nurses United (NNU) released results from a survey
of more than 6,500 nurses across 48 states, Washington DC,
and the Virgin Islands.

Just 63% of nurses surveyed had access to N95 respirators
in their units, while a mere 27% had access to powered air
purifying respirators.

Only 30% of survey participants said that their employers
had enough personal protective equipment (PPE) stocked
in the event of a quick uptick in potential coronavirus patients,
while 38% didn’t know.

(How stupid is this ?)

Several patients with respiratory symptoms who tested negative
for common respiratory ailments – a red flag indicating that testing
for coronavirus might be necessary – never got tested.

Hospital administrators recently restricted practitioners’ access
to N95 masks, claiming it was “because of the national shortage”,
this nurse said.

When this nurse voiced concerns to management, she claims to
have been warned: “stop freaking out and stop scaring everybody”.

None of this is normal = what?

President Trump is not a "normal" president. The word normal doesn't describe a positive or negative state. It refers to what is typical. Unlike the power hungry swamp creatures that have a self-interest agenda, Trump has a totally different agenda. He wants to make American Great Again and they want to enrich themselves some more. So, he is not going along with the NORM and that is why he is hated. He is not hated for the fact that minorities and everyone else are better off, he is hated because he is not tied to their whipping pole and will not dance their dance.
 
"Normally an epic scandal but in the Trump era nothing to see here"

- BigPapa

Little Green Footballs

During the Republican National Convention there was a small kerfuffle
with language supporting Ukraine in the RNC platform changing from
‘lethal assistance’ to ‘appropriate assistance.’

April 15, 2020

- The Russians were lobbying the Trump administration on Ukraine *before* the
2016 election. Paul Manafort was the chief lobbyist for a pro-Russian outcome up
until the very moment Mueller put the cuffs on. That lobbying continued through
the Ukraine scandal and likely continues to this day.

As with many other things during the Trump era our sense of time is warped.
Amazing things that happened such a short time ago frequently seem much
further away. But I haven’t forgotten about Pauly Walnuts and the Javelins.
I read the Mueller Report during height and aftermath of the Ukraine scandal
and it gave me a perspective I might otherwise have missed. Let’s dig in.

US Senate later approved an aid package totalling $391m for Ukraine, which
included a $150m Javelin package. Trump resisted this package as best he could
but under pressure, ended up releasing it. Small details in media reports shows
resistance to the Javelins, but Trump was allegedly sold on them by focusing on
the $150m sale to US firms. But there’s a catch: the Javelins going to Ukraine are
not to be used in the Donbas military theater and are to be stored 100’s of miles away.

There appears to be an arc of Russian influence on Ukraine that was started and
carried for some time directly through Manafort’s lobbying, the efforts of which
likely resulted in defensive weapons being given to Ukraine with strings attached
that surely benefit Russia. At any other time this would be a major scandal requiring
a significant investigation to get to the bottom of. But in the Trump era this barely
registers.

People are dying because of Trump's White House, and today Trump tried to blame
President Obama for not having a viable Covid-19 test.

WTF ?

April 30, 2020

Since this is a new virus that was first identified this year, the tests couldn’t possibly
be ‘old’ or ‘obsolete.’ ”) On its face, blaming the prior administration three years into
your own presidency for a pandemic that developed several months ago is simply not
credible.

Intelligence report concludes Covid-19 was not 'manmade or genetically modified' –
as it happened

Fact check: Is the virus manmade?

Trump said he can’t say why, but he’s confident that the coronavirus originated
from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

But the office of the director of national intelligence has said the intelligence
community does not believe coronavirus was manmade. In a statement, the
Office of the DNI said: “The Intelligence Community also concurs with the
wide scientific consensus that the Covid-19 virus was not manmade or
genetically modified.”

“The IC will continue to rigorously examine emerging information and intelligence
to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or
if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.”

Did America get a fireside chat, and an apology from Trump ?

Nope.

Trump admitted he knew about coronavirus, and did nothing to save American lives.

After he admits guilt, Trump rushed offto erase the memory by staging an offensive
campaign ad full of lies, at the Lincoln Memorial.

In the last two weeks, Trump’s public death toll predictions have jumped from
50,000 to 60,000 to 70,000 to potentially as high as 100,000, CNN notes in this

What makes Trump’s revisions notable is that he keeps offering figures that are

This is not normal!

Sean Hannity breaks with Trump and condemns armed lockdown protests: ‘Show of force is dangerous’

President Donald Trump has defended the protesters in Michigan who demonstrated against the state stay-at-home order with semiautomatic rifles.

But one very unlikely person is disagreeing with him: Fox News’ Sean Hannity, one of the network’s most partisan Trump supporters and a commentator with a long history of coronavirus trutherism.

“In Michigan — I’m the number one supporter of the First Amendment and the Second Amendment,” said Hannity on his Monday broadcast. “Now, no one is a bigger defender of the Second Amendment than yours truly. Everyone has the right to protest, protect themselves, and try to get the country open. This, with the militia look here and these long guns? Uhhh, no.”

“Show of force is dangerous,” Hannity continued. “That puts our police at risk. And by the way, your message will never be heard, whoever you people are. No one should be attempting to intimidate officials with a show of force. And God forbid something happens, they’re going to go after all of us law-abiding Second Amendment people!”

It is not normal for Sean to act rational!:eek:
 
Maybe it is, but I think Hannity is a digital clock.

75th anniversary of VE Day in the UK

In a post-truth world, the people that know the truth may be lost to us.

Such is life, in 2020.

The Guardian view on the VE Day anniversary: never again, 2020 style

Editorial

7 May 2020

"The era in which Britain defined itself by the war against Hitler has been long
and remarkable. But, just like the British empire 75 years ago, that exceptionalist
Britain is on its way into history too. Brexit shows it is not going gently.
But go it will."

"Were it not for the pandemic, Boris Johnson would have commandeered this holiday
to elide the Britain of 1945 with that of Brexit. He would have offered a vision of renewed
global greatness, with himself as the new Churchill. He may yet try. But events have made
such claims immoral as well as preposterous. This is not a time for rejoicing or false pride
There is no British victory to celebrate today. Instead, there is a Britain whose state institutions
were unprepared and insufficiently resilient to minimise the Covid-19 crisis. As in May 1945,
the real questions facing Britain are not about the past. They are about the future.

On Monday, she was watching and participating from her apartment window. Suddenly, there were flashbangs. She grabbed her camera. It looked like fire. A cloud of smoke billowed upwards. Her partner rushed over yelling to close the windows. Maggie started coughing. Tears were streaming down her face. "I was like 'Oh my god, we have gas in here,'" Maggie said.

Maggie is one of many Capitol Hill residents who has choked on SPD's militarized crowd-clearing tactics from inside her own home this week.


It took about two hours for their units to become breathable again.

"I don’t want to make this about me or us," Maggie told me. "But it's shocking when it enters our home."

The response from the police felt excessive like she was—not to be too dramatic, she prefaced—living in a war zone.

"As soon as my eyes stopped watering I was just crying for the protesters," she said. "If it felt that bad for me I can’t imagine what it was like for them."

SPD's use of tear gas has come under fire this week. The chemical substance, which is actually a dispersion of tiny crystals as opposed to gas, was banned from international warfare in 1997 yet is still a popular crowd control weapon. It causes irritation around the eyes and skin but has the potential to cause respiratory issues. According to OneZero, it may make people "more susceptible to respiratory illness, like influenza or COVID-19." So why, activists and Seattle city council members have asked, is it being used in the midst of a respiratory health crisis?

One father relayed how his infant woke up in the middle of the night, bright red and foaming at the mouth from tear gas.

“My 3mo-old son … who was sleeping, was awoken from his sleep coughing, crying, spitting out mucus,” he said, telling the council he and his wife and son fled in their car. “Mucus was bubbling out of his nose, he was bright red. … My wife had to pour breast milk on his eyes.”

July 10, 2020

THERE ARE no doubt thousands of people in federal prison who deserved
a presidential commutation more than Roger Stone.

But after President Trump’s intervention on Friday, Mr. Stone will serve none
of his prison sentence.

He was sentenced to 40 months in prison and was due to surrender on Tuesday —
thus prompting Mr. Trump’s Friday night action.

Now, the (Justice) department’s career investigators and prosecutors must absorb yet another
insult to their profession from political leaders who abuse their trust.

The president seems to be doing his best, within the confines of the U.S. constitutional
system, to emulate the gangster leadership of Russian President Vladimir Putin, a man
whose ruinous reign Mr. Trump has always admired.

If the country needed any more evidence, Friday confirmed that the greatest threat
to the Republic is the president himself.

The worst president ever keeps getting worse

- Max Boot

The pandemic was already a disaster on April 5, but back then we still had “only” 331,000
cases and 9,400 deaths.

On April 5, 1,344 new cases were reported. As many were recorded in 30 minutes on
Friday, when daily new coronavirus cases climbed to a record-breaking 63,900.

In early April it was still possible to imagine that the virus really would abate by the
middle of summer. That this hasn’t happened — that the virus is still raging out of
control inAmerica while being brought under control in so many other countries —
is directly attributable to the epic failure of leadership by a president who infamously
proclaimed “I don’t take responsibility at all.”

But what makes Trump the worst president ever is not simply that he is colossally
incompetent. It is that he is also thoroughly corrupt. It is hard to think of a single
major decision he has made for the good of the country, rather than for his own
advantage.

Trump has purged anyone who dared to testify against him. The most recent victim
was Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a decorated combat veteran who was forced
to retire while being belittled by a callow White House press secretary as a “former
junior employee.”

@lizclarketweet. RT @Helpful_S1:

Imagine spending 8 years as an infantry officer, 7 years as a foreign area officer,
5 years on the Joint Staff, and nearly 2 years at the White House

(only to be told by someone that has just recently joined the White House staff,
that they are “former junior employee"

(Kayleigh Mcenany did not join as press secretary until April 2020)

From the Washington Post -

“Former junior employee,” you say?

Well, let’s just rummage through the record to see what this “junior employee” did.
Per Vindman’s own testimony — helpfully abridged by Lawfare — here are some of
actions in the Ukraine saga. He:

* Dealt with inquiries from Ukrainian officials about how to deal with the campaign
of Trump lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani, who was attempting to cast a “narrative”
about Democratic collusion with Ukraine.
* Received instructions in May 2019 from then-national security adviser John Bolton
to attend Zelensky’s inaugural.
* Attended a July 10 meeting among U.S. and Ukrainian officials at which the Trump
pro quo was mentioned, before Bolton stopped the meeting.
* Warned Zelensky himself not to meddle in U.S. domestic politics.
(Telling foreign heads of state to back off, of course, is a standard part
of junior-level staffer’s portfolio.)
* Listened to that Trump-Zelensky call last July from the Situation Room —
essentially a lounge for junior types.
* Drafted talking points for Trump ahead of that critical call.
* Authored a memo, approved by Bolton, recommending that Trump release that tranche
of $400 million in security aid to Ukraine.

As a director for European affairs, Vindman held a position equivalent to a deputy
assistant secretary at the Department of State or Defense.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...enany-watch-now-lets-belittle-lt-col-vindman/

It appears that Kayleigh Mcenany, Trump's latest liar hire, is the junior employee.

AG Bill Barr Barr also sought a reduced sentence for Stone, even while conceding
that his “prosecution was righteous,” before Trump on Friday simply set Stone free.

Stone refused to testify about what he knew; he perjured himself and obstructed justice
to protect the president. And now Trump has rewarded him for his silence.

The quid pro quo is blindingly obvious. Not even Nixon during Watergate dared to
pardon his co-conspirators or commute their sentences. That Trump has done so
secures his unrivaled place in the annals of presidential infamy.

He is not just the worst president ever; he keeps getting worse.

A matter of perspective, and site appropriate- where something is occuring,
and is expected to be tolerated, and who is tolerating it

United States Secretary of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen was out of her lane,
and shoe-horned into a slot she did not deserve- This does not mean that any information
she holds, or experiences she could speak about, do not have value.

She was featured at wrong venue.

Yes, her reputation reeks of moral decay, greed, and ruthlessness.

She may have quit her job as HS Secretary, because Trump ordered her to take a step
too far (legal repercussions for herself ?). But, Ms.Nielsen had just accepted another
position with the administration, on the National Infrastructure Advisory Council.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...45bf44-370f-11ea-a01d-b7cc8ec1a85d_story.html

Better than she had waited until she quit Trump's administration, and had written a tell-all book...

She chose to stand in the same space, as women who had come into power without
committing evil, and swearing loyalty to a monster.

Fortune magazine’s Most Powerful Women Summit

Hillary Clinton was supposed to be a featured speaker at the conference in Washington-
but then she backed out, partly because former homeland security chief Kirstjen Nielsen
enforcer of the Trump administration’s loathsome child separation policy, was also speaking.

Fortune had titled Nielsen’s session “Hard Questions,” and the questions were appropriately
pointed: Nobody tossed her softballs about how she balances work and home life, or how
she shoehorns in “me” time. Nobody could have grilled Nielsen harder than Nawaz did,
or tried to.

But her presence was so incongruous to the rest of the event — an innocuous, if privileged
brand of go-get-’em corporate feminism — that it called into question why we were in that
hotel at all.

Toward the end of her interview, Nielsen wanly said she thought she was going to be
asked more about cybersecurity.

But still, there was something off about it.

Here she was, making her reputation-washing debut in a ballroom event celebrating
aspirational women, smiling grittily as she informed us that, no, we’d all misremembered
the whole past three years.

And most of us had paid $13,500 to be there.

Mitch McConnell cackles in the halls of government, that the provisions for
two million people to survive, will not be made by Friday.

Mitch McConnell's benefactors ate up the money meant to help small business.
The relief payments did not make it to many, and Trump's administration is sitting
on billions that Congress provided to help.

A recent report from the Urban Institute found that majority-white neighborhoods
receive 4.6 times more private-market investment per household than majority-Black
neighborhoods and 2.6 times more private-market investment than majority-Latin
neighborhoods at the median. Banks should redirect investments to neighborhoods
in the Invest South-West Program, which was created by the mayor last December
to place $750 million worth of public investments into ten Chicago neighborhoods
on the south and west sides, with a call to action for banks to match what’s allocated.

We need private investors to allocate $4 of investment in a Black or Brown neighborhood
for every $1 of investment in a white neighborhood, to offset for decades of wealth being
usurped from the finance community by predatory financial practices. This seems like a lot
of money, but still does not offset the public funds that corporations have received in the
form of tax breaks, TIF dollars, contracts, and acquisitions that have been doled out over
the years.

The moment calls for commitments that are large enough in scope to address the suffering
that almost two million Chicagoans face every day.

When people build solidarity across their differences, face hard truths, and set bold goals
we can solve our most pressing problems and transform lives. Chicago has an opportunity
to take the lead, and in doing so, we can set an example for the rest of the nation to follow.

Hundreds gathered on Sunday night at Fourth and Congress, at the same spot where
Garrett Foster had been shot to death the night before

July 27, 2020

Garrett Foster who was armed with an AK-47-type rifle carried openly, approached the driver,
who fired five shots. Another member of the crowd – possibly a volunteer medic supporting
the march, according to witnesses and social media reports – then returned fire at the car
as it fled.

Foster, who did not fire his weapon, received first aid at the scene before being transported
to Dell Seton Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead around 10:30pm Saturday
night.

The motorist, whose name has still not been made public by Austin police, reportedly
called 911 after driving away and was brought in for questioning by homicide detectives,
as was the second shooter.

According to a Sunday evening briefing by Police Chief Brian Manley, both have been
released pending further investigation.

Many who gathered on Sunday had marched and rallied alongside Foster and his
fiancée Whitney Mitchell throughout the weeks of protests against police violence
and white supremacy organized by the Mike Ramos Brigade. With Mitchell present,
the vigil featured flowers, candles, incense, and fond memories of Foster, as with
other occasions for public grieving that have become sadly familiar.

Garrett Foster and Mitchell had stood out among the activist crowds since the protests
began. Mitchell is a small Black woman, an amputee who uses a wheelchair; Foster was
a large white man who was her full-time caretaker. They’d been together since high school
and during his years in the military; they were planning to marry within the next year, and
all at the vigil described her as his wife.* According to speakers Sunday night, he began to
bring his rifle to the protests after a prior incident in late June when another motorist tried
twice to mow down protesters at APD HQ.

(Police detained the driver in the department parking garage but also released him.)

Foster's core political leanings, according to those at the vigil and on social media,
were not only anti-police and anti-racism but thoroughly anti-government and
libertarian.
