America is following disastrous Trump advice to slow down testing
CNN, Thu August 13, 2020
America: for the past few weeks, we have followed President Trump's dangerous and deluded advice, memorably delivered from a stage in Tulsa Oklahoma six weeks ago, "to slow the testing down, please." Bigly. And the drop in testing is happening at the same time that case numbers across the US have shown a drop as well, the latter to great fanfare; the former without a peep.

"They're sending people that have a lot of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
This isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of our Mexican neighbors. And we know he has hatred in his heart for anyone who doesn't look like him.
Stop trying to defend this POS! You certainly sound foolish.

Another prominent REPUBLICAN appears to be endorsing Joe Biden to defeat trumpism
from FOX:
" Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican is expected to speak at the Democratic National Convention on Biden¡¯s behalf, according to a person with direct knowledge of the plans who insisted on anonymity to discuss strategy. Kasich is among a handful of high-profile Republicans likely to become more active in supporting Biden in the fall. " FOX source: https://tinyurl.com/y4g9nsjd
Democrats seriously considering bringing House back into session next week over USPS issues
CNN Possible action by the House could include forbidding the Postal Service to change sorting devices, prevent the closure of facilities, stopping any effort to end overtime pay or changing the timing of mail delivery, one of the sources said. Democrats also may push language requiring all ballot deliveries to have first class status.
This comes amid the run-up to the 2020 presidential election in November as many voters across the US are expected to vote by mail because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
CNN and other news organizations reported that in the last week, the USPS has removed letter collection boxes in at least four states: New York, Oregon, Montana and Indiana. Source: https://tinyurl.com/y2euhtxk

Miles Taylor, a former senior Trump administration official, endorsed Joe Biden¡¯s presidential campaign on Monday, becoming one of the highest-ranking former Trump administration officials to do so.
Taylor, who served as a political appointee at the Department of Homeland Security from 2017 to 2019 and as chief of staff to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, endorsed the former vice president in a video produced by the group Republican Voters Against Trump. He also wrote an op-ed published in The Washington Post calling President Donald Trump ¡°dangerous¡± for America
¡°What we saw week in and week out, for me, after two and a half years in that administration, was terrifying.
We would go in to try to talk to him about a pressing national security issue ¡ª cyberattack, terrorism threat ¡ª he wasn¡¯t interested in those things. To him, they weren¡¯t priorities,¡± Taylor says in the video.
¡°Given what I have experienced in the administration, I have to support Joe Biden for president and even though I am not a Democrat, even though I disagree on key issues, I¡¯m confident that Joe Biden will protect the country and I¡¯m confident that he won¡¯t make the same mistakes as this President.¡±

"The only way we're going to lose this election is if this election is rigged"
(CNN) President Donald Trump's darkly portentous campaign message came into stark focus Monday as he launched his most intensive campaign swing since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, warning of "fascist" Democrats with a "Trojan horse" candidate during stops in the Upper Midwest.
The dire warnings -- reliant on false information and racist tropes -- foreshadowed a bitter fall campaign as Trump seeks to reverse a slide in the polls. And they presaged a drawn out post-election battle as Trump preempted a potential loss with warnings of fraud. https://tinyurl.com/y5jxlorg

Dr. Deborah Birx, a member of President Donald Trump's coronavirus task force, said Monday she wishes the United States had gone into lockdown mode like Italy did, though she knows Americans have no taste for it.

CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta, responding to Birx's remarks, said, "Well, you know, if we had done that at that time, even for a few weeks, we'd be in a very, very different position right now. So, she's right. The models have sort of demonstrated that."
Gupta noted, much has been learned about how to control the virus' spread.
"We know, for example, that if 95% of the country just simply wore masks at this point, it would start to bend this curve downward and save tens of thousands of lives," he said.

NRA lawsuit: NY attorney general accuses Wayne LaPierre, other execs in multi-million dollar FRAUD scheme
USA TODAY
The leaders of the powerful National Rifle Association were accused Thursday of participating in a fraud scheme that contributed to $64 million in losses and financed lavish lifestyles featuring private jet travel to exclusive resorts, according to a lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
The civil action, which names longtime NRA chief Wayne LaPierre and three other executives, details an array of alleged wrongdoing that severely weakened the nearly 150-year-old organization.
¡°The NRA¡¯s influence has been so powerful that the organization went unchecked for decades while top executives funneled millions into their own pockets.¡±
James accused the NRA leaders of wasteful, unchecked spending that transformed a $27.8 million surplus in 2015 to a $36.3 million net deficit in 2018.
"Wayne LaPierre and his allies sit at the center of a tangled web of corruption and self-dealing. They are nothing more than crooks in fancy suits.¡±
¡°The NRA has lost its way," Brady Campaign President Kris Brown said. "Instead of advocating for common-sense gun policies that protect gun owners, families and communities, the NRA has instead become an extremist organization, focused on lining their own pockets and the pockets of the gun industry at the expense of all Americans."
