Neither did Americans, yet many of them were marched off to camps. The point holds.

Total Speculation:

Now Rahmatullah Azizi stands as a central piece of a puzzle rocking Washington, named in American intelligence reports and confirmed by Afghan officials as a key middleman who for years handed out money from a Russian military intelligence unit to reward Taliban-linked fighters for targeting American troops in Afghanistan, according to American and Afghan officials.

As security agencies connected the dots of the bounty scheme and narrowed in on him, they carried out sweeping raids to arrest dozens of his relatives and associates about six months ago, but discovered that Mr. Azizi had sneaked out of Afghanistan and was likely back in Russia. What they did find in one of his homes, in Kabul, was about half a million dollars in cash.

It may not be long before we see Trump wear a mask, though you know he will say something Trumpist/kiidcarter8-like to waive away his previous position.  "I always loved masks" or some other obvious lie.

Is there a single policy position that Trump takes that doesn't turn out to be wrong?

Open up the economy to create a V-shaped recovery during COVID?  Nope.
Getting tough on illegal immigration and closing down the southern border will lead to a drop in crime?  Nope.
The tax cuts will boost business investment?  Nope.
Trade wars are great and easy to win?  Nope.
Engaging North Korea will eliminate the threat of their becoming a nuclear power?  Nope.
Eliminating regulations will lead to a comeback in coal?  Nope.
"Protecting monuments" and praising White Nationalist protesters in Charlottesville?  How has that worked out?

Trump is not big on policy or really, having any ambitions at all (see his latest nonanswer word salad when given a second chance to say what he would do if he wins reelection) but the few positions he does take end up being wrong.  Every.  Time.

While people didn't bomb Pearl Harbour.

But they did bomb Tulsa!

They’re not even pretending anymore...

Holy fuck.   That teeshirt is like something from the wardrobe in The Man in the High Castle.

Meanwhile,  young folks are showing up in hospitals now,  in the outbreak states....

160,000 American dead, 40 WTCs, 40,000 Benghazis to Covid, not to mention another few Benghazis to bountygate.

For a lovely example of trump’s inhumanity to man, you need look only here.

As cases continue to soar at record levels across the US, which now has over 2.6m cases, there is growing alarm about a surge in younger people getting the virus. On Friday, vice-president Mike Pence said half of new cases in the US in recent weeks were adults under 35.



- Guardian piece



The alarm would be if more and more of the VULNERABLE population were getting COVID.

Yes, of course any time a young person gets seriously ill and/or dies it is sad.

But the numbers say this is quite uncommon. 

Spikes among young are bad.  But better than spikes in other groups - which is why the death rates (sorry, Sen Warren) will not be increasing any time soon.

I'm sure he means well.

Someone needs to tell the Noxious crackers who support this bullshit that they’re not nazi, they’re Vichy no matter what type of dress up they play.

Thank God all these healthy young folks don't have aging parents or other older folks in their lives!

Carlson had a dude on last night saying there is no scientific evidence masks work

Funny.

Deaths are increasing in Arizona.

I won't bookmark this for when it also turns out to be wrong elsewhere.  Just the fact that you are stating it as a fact is proof enough for me that it will be.
