Pompeo Warned Russia Against
Bounties on U.S. Troops

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is said to have sternly discussed
payouts and red lines in a telephone call with Sergey V. Lavrov,
Russia¡¯s foreign minister.

Aug. 7, 2020
WASHINGTON ¡ª Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has warned Russia¡¯s
foreign minister against Moscow paying bounties to Taliban-linked
militants and other Afghan fighters for killing American service members,
U.S. officials said.

Mr. Pompeo¡¯s warning is the first known rebuke from a senior American
official to Russia over the bounties program, and it runs counter to
President Trump¡¯s insistence that the intelligence from
U.S. government agencies over the matter is a ¡°hoax.¡±

The action indicates that Mr. Pompeo, who previously served as Trump¡¯s C.I.A. director,
 believes the intelligence warranted a stern message.

So, Aug. 8, we've reached a dubious milestone thanks to trump:
5 MILLION cases of Covid-19, which trump permitted 
to spread throughout USA by his early denials and negligence.

162,425 dead Americans on trump's watch...and counting!
...an increase of 7,000 deaths just in the past 5 days!

"When you have 15 people, and the 15

That’s a pretty good job we’ve done."

Thursday, AUG 06:
“Nobody can do what I’ve done, in terms of all of the
things we’re doing to combat this horrible disease."
                                           -- Trump, Aug. 06:  Dead = 160,000

August 6th, White House lawn:

THE PRESIDENT: "So the message that I have is very simple:
Nobody can do what I¡¯ve done in terms of all of the things that
we¡¯re doing to combat this horrible disease that never should
have been sent to us, that was sent ¡ª it came from China;
should never have been allowed to leave China. They could
have easily done something. They stopped it from coming into
China, but they didn¡¯t stop it from coming into the U.S. and
Europe and the rest of the world. And China should have done
something about it. And, frankly, it¡¯s a disgrace that they didn¡¯t."

Wow.

The defense allows 600 net yards and 35 points against

but they refuse to shoulder any blame, but rather say

the resulting 32-35 LOSS was all the fault ----> of the opponent

Apparently the defense isn't responsible for

ummm, er,  putting up a strong DEFENSE.

9 coronavirus cases reported at Georgia high school
days after photo taken of crowded hallway

CNN:
Nine Covid-19 cases were reported at North Paulding High School.
Some context: This news comes days after a North Paulding High School
sophomore posted a photo on Twitter that showed her high school's
hallways crowded with students and very few masks visible.

The student, Hannah Watters, was later suspended
for posting the photos but on Friday, the high school
said in a statement that it had "rescinded" the suspension.

And shortly after, it was discovered that multiple students and staff had contracted the contagion, they shut down the school.

ignorance to blame Trump for a pandemic is nauseating!

Many businesses in small college towns will be severely hurt by the cancellation of these games. Couple that with kids not on campuses across the country just adds to the stress of running a small business during this pandemic. Mostly part time stadium workers will also lose the few bucks they got paid to help pay the bills. The trickle down impact is immense.

If you come across someone who needs help, do the right thing & help them. 

This popped into my head immediately when I read your post.

A quick tune from an American legend, back when I was in highschool...

The Republican's Senate nightmare
is coming true

Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large
Wed August 12, 2020

Wrote Cook Senate editor Jessica Taylor:

"Ultimately, every day that Trump stubbornly refuses to change
course [on the coronavirus pandemic] is another day that it
becomes increasingly likely he may not only tank his own re-election
bid but could be on a kamikaze mission to take the Republican-held
Senate down with him. At this point, a net gain of five to seven seats
for Democrats looks far more probable than the one to three seat
gain that would leave them shy of a majority."

U.S. marks DEADLIEST day of pandemic since May

CDC issues a dire warning for the fall
if coronavirus measures are not followed

CNN, Thursday, August 13

The (trump-enabled) coronavirus has infected more than 5 million Americans
and killed over 166,000 nationwide, according to Johns Hopkins University.
On Wednesday alone, there were 55,910 reported new cases and
1,499 deaths -- the highest number of fatalities since May!

"For your country right now and for the war that we're in against Covid,
I'm asking you to do four simple things:
- wear a mask,
- social distance,
- wash your hands and
- be smart about crowds," said Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the CDC.
"I'm not asking some of America to do it," he told WebMD.
"We all gotta do it."

Without following the recommendations, this could be
"the worst fall, from a public health perspective, we've ever had"

In addition to taking measures to combat the pandemic,
people should also get a flu vaccine.

FAKE NEWS: Plandemic... Fauci... 5G... Scamdemic... Bill Gates... Knights Templar... Bigfoot.

LOL 

However, according to the rednecks, what is NOT "fake news"
is anything trump alleges, such as:

- global warming is actually a hoax invented by China
- the "demon sperm/alien DNA" kook is credible and "very impressive"
- injection of toxic disinfectant could cure covid-19
- "Black Lives Matter" is a symbol of hate
- all media are "an ENEMY of the people"
- every sex assault accuser on trump plus 2 porn stars are "ALL LYING"
- all Mexicans are murderers and rapists
- all Muslims are terrorists

CDC Director Says U.S. Government was

(trump regime)
‘Underprepared’ For Coronavirus Pandemic !!!

Forbes
Breaking|Aug 13, 2020,12:53pm EDT

Confirming what critics of the Trump administration have alleged
throughout the coronavirus pandemic, CDC Director Robert Redfield
said Thursday that the U.S. was “underprepared” to deal with Covid-19.

Calling coronavirus “the greatest public health crisis that has hit
this nation in a century,” Redfield stated “we were underprepared.”

Some have also pointed to allegations and reports that the
Trump administration ignored a pandemic “game plan” left
behind by the Obama administration and failed to follow a
separate NSC playbook.

Crucial Quote:

“We literally left them a 69-page Pandemic Playbook.... that they ignored.
And an office called the Pandemic Preparedness Office... that they abolished.
And a global monitoring system called PREDICT .. that they cut by 75%,”
tweeted former Ebola czar Ron Klain, later adding that the playbook
specifically addressed pathogens like coronavirus.

I didn't go as far as to single anybody out as a redbeck. And if I am ever singling out anybody as a redneck, it's to say, "I fuck with rednecks." because, frankly, I fuck with rednecks. Think i'd be muddin', bow huntin', going out on the boat with my black friends? Gotta have different friends in different worlds. And in a perfect world, those worlds can cross. I've got redneck friends who say shit like "All life's matter." that I trust with my life. I've got black friends i've known since preschool that I wouldn't trust with my soda.

Good points!

is anything trump alleges, such as:

- global warming is actually a hoax invented by China
- the "demon sperm/alien DNA" kook is credible and "very impressive"
- injection of toxic disinfectant could cure covid-19
- "Black Lives Matter" is a symbol of hate
- all media are "an ENEMY of the people"
- every sex assault accuser on trump plus 2 porn stars are "ALL LYING"
- all Mexicans are murderers and rapists
- all Muslims are terrorists
- "Yosa-might National Park"

President Trump never alleged, that all Mexicans are murderers or that all Muslims are terriorist..you heard that on CNN ..because this is an untruth and fake statement........

Judge orders Trump campaign
to produce evidence of voter fraud
in Pennsylvania

(CNN) A federal judge in Pennsylvania told the Trump campaign
and the Republican Party that they must produce evidence they
have of vote-by-mail fraud in the state by Friday.
The judge's order, in a high-profile case about vote-by-mail in the
battleground state, essentially forces the Trump campaign to try to
back up President Donald Trump's false claims about massive
voter fraud in postal voting.
"The Court finds that instances of voter fraud are relevant to the
claims and defenses in this case," District Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan
wrote on Thursday, telling Republicans that they need to provide
evidence of fraud to the Democratic Party and the Sierra Club,
which are part of the lawsuit.

The Trump campaign and Republicans had refused to do so.
But with Thursday's court order, they must answer questions
from the Democratic groups and turn over records of communications -
- or say they have none.
The Trump campaign has until Friday to respond, the judge said.

HALF of voters expect voting
to be difficult in November
as Trump ramps up attacks
on mail-in voting

By Grace Sparks, CNN
Thu August 13, 2020

(CNN)A new poll from Pew Research Center finds that 49% of registered voters
expect voting in the November elections to be difficult, a vast increase from
the midterm elections two years ago as President Donald Trump attacks mail-in
voting.
The poll was conducted while Trump was criticizing mail-in voting but before
he said on Thursday that he opposes funding for the US Postal Service because
he doesn't want to see it used for mail-in voting in November. Trump's attacks
on mail-in voting and USPS are being slammed as an attempt to manipulate
the system for political gain, as he could benefit from voter suppression among
communities who vote by mail.
