Someday now they will announce Joe Biden's running mate. He's my preferred candidate. I don't really care who the VP will be, but I didn't think Klobuchar would be a good one. She shines pretty bright!

If the thousands of people marching turn Into votes, there is no way trump will be re elected.

 

Whilst in general many people tend to have short memory spans, this time, the issue is large enough and important enough to carry through to the November hustings and yes, I too think hepatrump will be 'toast'.

In a new poll today Trumps approval rating has dropped from 45% to 38% over the past month.

It was always my hope that at least some of the deplorables has a core of decency about them, but I never really believed it until now.

Trump’s job approval falls amid racial unrest, while Biden jumps to 14-point lead

 

Although I am a liberal, the idea of defunding police departments is not a well thought out idea. Defunding of police departments does not stop racism.

I think the ideas is to redirect funding

As I have pointed out neoliberal policies were to defund social services with the result that this then offloaded the results of that onto the police.

The defunding idea as far as I can tell is to reverse that – fund social services so the police can tackle the things they should.

 

defunding? nope DISBANDING

Trump to restart MAGA rallies this month despite Coronavirus

Donald Trump is planning to restart rallies in the next two weeks in a major turning point for the president since the coronavirus shut down traditional campaigning.

Trump’s advisers are still determining where the rallies will take place and what safety measures will be implemented, depending on the type of venue chosen.
Campaign manager Brad Parscale is expected to present Trump with possibilities within the next few days.

The move comes at a precarious moment for Trump. National and swing state polls show him taking a major hit amid his handling of the pandemic and the social unrest
that followed the killing of a African American man at the hands of Minnesota police. He is trailing Joe Biden substantially in many polls.

 

Totally moronic , but not surprising he needs to get his base energized .... what if a large portion contract wuhan virus and die hmmmmm

 

Then a large population of redneck peckerwoods would be become extinct !!!

 

Or there wont be any increases in cases from his rallies giving further reasons for everyone to scratch their heads


Covid deaths per million population as of today:

UK 598
USA 342
Brazil 176

UK had a stricter lockdown than the US, certainly a more uniform one. So what happened?

 

We had a very lacklustre lockdown, the government went for herd immunity before realising that was dumb but by then the virus had gone rampant we then started sending old people who had covid back to their nursing homes with tragic results.

 

The party of tolerance celebrating mass death ... gotcha
