Ok. I am now convinced that Trump is supplying Sarah Cooper with material.

I said this yesterday that Trump must be working with YouTube comedian, Sarah Cooper. Well, Sarah has new video, and I laughed out loud:

Is there a source that informs you about daily covid-19 test results, Pct of positive results,

No. of tested
No. of hospitalized
Availability of ICU beds
Location of people who tested positive

One centralized location for all of these details would give people an idea of the current state of the virus so that they can take proper measures. For example, if the pct of positive results are rising daily, maybe people don't go to the grocery store and order in that day/week.

Michael Brooks, political commentator and podcast host, dies at 36

He was Sam Seder's co-host on The Majority Report and had his own show, "The Michael Brooks Show". He was a tried and true leftist, and he was funny as hell. He will be missed.

Michael Brooks, a progressive political commentator and co-host of the "Majority Report" podcast, died of a "sudden medical condition," the show announced on Twitter Monday. He was 36.

"It is with a heavy heart that we announce the unexpected passing of Michael Brooks: a son, brother, friend, and true comrade to so many," Brooks' colleagues tweeted. The statement didn't offer details about the medical condition.

That Russian bounty story has floated away. Never to be heard from again.

Like that volleyball in the movie, "Castaway".

US Covid-19 Cases Update: CA joins NY with each now having 400K+ cases. FLA closing in on CA.

I guess no one learned from NY's example. Like a bad horror movie, where the people venture into the murder basement instead of fleeing for safety.

OMG!!!!

Excerpt from Chris Wallace's interview with Trump:

WALLACE: But, sir, we have the seventh highest mortality rate in the world. Our mortality rate is higher than Brazil, it's higher than Russia and the European Union has us on a travel ban.

TRUMP: Yeah. I think what we'll do -- well, we have them under travel ban too, Chris. I closed them off. If you remember, I was the one that did the European Union very early.

But when you talk about mortality rates, I think it's the opposite. I think we have one of the lowest mortality rates in the world.

WALLACE: That’s not true, sir. We, we, we have a -- we had 900 deaths on a single day...

TRUMP: We will take a look...

WALLACE: ... just this week...

TRUMP: Ready?

WALLACE: You, you can check it out.

TRUMP: Can you please get me the mortality rate?

TRUMP: Kayleigh's right here. I heard we have one of the lowest, maybe the lowest mortality rate anywhere in the world.

TRUMP: Do you have the numbers, please? Because I heard we had the best mortality rate.

TRUMP: Number, number one low mortality rate.

TRUMP: I hope you show the scenario because it shows what fake news is all about. Ok, go ahead.

WALLACE: OK, OK. I don’t think I’m fake news but I will -- we’ll put --

TRUMP: Yeah, you will --

WALLACE: -- put our stats on --

TRUMP: You said we had the worst mortality rate in the world --

WALLACE: I said you had --

TRUMP: -- and we have the best.

If this is how this nation handles a pandemic, what chance do we have against Climate Change?

If I had children, I would look for ways for them to live outside of the U.S. when they become adults. I'm being totally serious.

Ever since March 2019, every single poll in the RCP average of polls has shown Biden ahead of Trump.

except for 4 polls, three of those were by Emerson.

To be clear, Real Clear Politics ("RCP&quot records polls from outlets like Fox News, ABC News, CNN, IBD/TIPP, Monmouth, Quinnipiac, etc. Every time one of these outlets report findings, they post the results and RCP posts the average of the polls over the last 15 days or so. In every single reported poll since March 27, 2019, Biden has lead Trump with the exception of those 4 polls.

I post this to disprove Trump's current narrative that he was "sailing to victory" if it wasn't for the virus when he was trailing Biden consistently for year BEFORE the virus hit the U.S. He was always losing.

Is it illegal for a non-partisan, unpaid volunteer to stand in line for a voter ?

Maybe to give them a break to use the bathroom or get something to eat or run an errand? Is that considered election fraud?
