Attention Titanic Passengers, this is your Captain Trump speaking: The rumors that we've hit an iceberg are fake news by Never Trumpers trying to remove me from office. Forget about those lifeboats and go back to sleep, there's not one compartment flooded yet. Everything I'm doing is fantastically Great, the situation is under control and the shortage of lifeboats, while regrettable, means little as long as I get on the first one to leave. Thank you for your attention and votes. Bye, bye!!!

George Zimmerman -vs- Trayvon Martin

Now I have a question in mind: I noticed that the guy taking the video follows the jogger for quite a little while. What in the world was so interesting that he did that? Joggers aren't so unusual that they capture much interest at all, yet he follows him into this thing that amounts to a trap. There was no call for anyone to accost Ahmaud at all. There is absolutely no legal justification for any armed person to get so close to Ahmaud such that any struggle for a weapon should ensue. If they believed Ahmaud was a suspected criminal, the only legal option they had was to alert the police. They had no right to approach, less distract or detain anyone. They could follow and that is all the law allows them to do. So, that this became a killing means it was an intentional cold blooded murder.

Biden Accuser 'Not Sure' What Complaint She Claims Was Filed With Senate...

Is there an exact time and place of this supposed attack? You'd think that with such a busy schedule he might not even be in his office much at all. I note that other women, who complained of being assaulted, etc., have had their claims fail simply because they could not provide a credible time or place. We all remember that woman who accused Mike Tyson of assaulting her, while the video tape of the incident show she never was even allowed to get close to Iron Mike. Needless to say Joe just doesn't have the personality of an abusive person. Gentle Joe is unlikely to have done anything abusive at all. It's just not a good fit.

Could it be that General Flynn is "knowledgeable" enough to "REQUIRE" a Presidential Pardon, but this is just Barr providing cover? Flynn could certainly know things about Trump and Putin and/or other foreign leadership that could be things Trump would want kept secret. Remember Flynn was a General, a highly placed and highly trusted person. He would certainly know how to play a very complex gambit to extricate himself from a fix that portends his imprisonment. We'll have to wait and see but, what the judge had to say at Flynn's first sentencing, says that he's done some really serious things, besides what he pled guilty to.

He is destroying our government and our freedoms and our economy, he has caused the world to distrust and ignore America and we are no longer leading the world by example. Instead we are the laughingstock of the world, nobody takes us seriously because, despite our weapons superiority, we haven't the brains to come up with a coherent foreign policy. Remember, if you are suffering from this pandemic, it is Republican Senatorial support that makes this unbridled insanity possible. Without Mitch McConnell and his Senatorial support of Trump, none of this crap would be possible!

Is the U.S. Headed Towards Tyranny? Timothy Snyder Discusses | Amanpour ...

The problem is our democratic republic has not really been tested over much of the lasts 200 years. What was happening was, we were "tested" by people who honored the system and did not reach beyond the bounds of reason and/or deny accepted truths. Unlike today where every single principle of our freedom and it's very foundations are being called into question. It's as if we are back at the first Continental Congress where little to nothing has been decided, but that the participants are not aware of or adverse to the ideas of tyranny. Then we take it from there, but with Trump whipping up confusion and dissent by enraging people in favor of slavery, and pitting every opposition group against one another, but by using salacious and inciteful lies created out of whole cloth, to keep chaos alive enough to prevent anyone from either thinking clearly or being able to persuade anyone else.

"How Greenwich Republicans Learned to Love Trump" | Amanpour and Company

I'll try to make it simple: Without rules there is no "game". America became the world leader because we had rules and regulations that had to be followed, that caused the "pieces" on "the chessboard" to make sense. Regulations created "the game" and the fairness that ensued caused the economy to flourish. Then the new captains of industry, decided that our democratic republic could be taken for granted and that they could make more money by evading those regulations. They went overseas to less regulated countries (dictatorships) and without realizing it, while they were making more money, paying lower wages without having to concern themselves with political consequences, they elevated those dictatorships to where they could wage effective attacks on America.

This is the worlds dumbest joke ever yet they keep trying to sell it and they do find fools and "investors" to support it. You know, like our Senate, hahaha! America is becoming the worlds biggest joke. I doubt we're going to be taken seriously for very long. We have people with no expertise or skills making important and sensitive decisions. The worse, less credible the results get, the less faith anyone will have in the U.S. gov't. Without faith there is no credit, so that's the way it goes, first your money, then your clothes.

Anyone who thinks Trump cares about them is a fool! Would anyone, who cares about anyone,

suggest they drink or inject bleach or disinfectants? Would anyone, who cares about anyone, suggest they take unproven medicine, that could kill them, for a disease it's not known to affect? Trump simply does not care about you or anyone else. That's why he doesn't care that his appointee's haven't the skills to perform their jobs and he further endangers the nation by giving unqualified people security clearances. If you love your country you must get rid of this charlatan!

In reversal, Trump says task force will continue 'indefinitely'

Mr. Trump, the task force is not popular, they are credible, people don't like being lied to when their survival hangs in the balance. They want to know just how bad things are and what, if anything, they can do to protect themselves and their loved ones, drinking bleach and/or disinfectant is not something people believe is a true answer.
