Trump says that masks are "a double-edged sword."

Goldman-Sachs says they can save $1 trillion for the economy.

"ScoMo goes ballistic as Australia spashes out on new weapons".
One can never have too many weapons.

The more weapons you have, especially new weapons, the more likely you are to use them.  Think about that ...

Some fancy new missiles we bought from Washington that sit  under the wings of warplanes, and when a button is pushed fly away and blow up whole ships.
Cool.  (well except for the loss of life on the ships.)...all's fair in love and war.
China is attacking Australia now at every turn. Alleged espionage, trade, verbal insults,  what next...physical assault, 
blocking the South China sea and ruining our economy?
Use new weapons? not much point having them if you're not prepared to use them.
What Aussie really needs ...nuke-powered, nuke-armed subs ...even if rented from Washington...that can turn Beijing and Shanghai into ash at the pushing of a few buttons.
Might as well go out in a blaze of glory as be a China slave forever....on in modern language 'Kung fu slave'.
Obama is appalled at Trump's term "Kung flu".
Obama is too nice.

Better the whole world die, says Bambi.

And for all that the racist, Kid Carter, objects to our calling Bambi a racist, Bambi illustrates it again in this post.

Four Toledo City Council members accused of accepting bribes in 2 year FBI investigation



TOLEDO (WTVG) - Four members of the Toledo City Council have been accused of accepting bribes while in office, according to court documents obtained by 13abc on Tuesday. At least three of those council members have been placed into federal custody.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Toledo mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz said he was "shocked and heartbroken" by the arrests, calling it a "terrible day for Toledo — and for everyone who believes in the good that can be accomplished through public service"
He went on to say he, "was inspired to run for public office by a Catholic priest, Fr. Timothy O’Brien, who impressed upon me the benefits of a life dedicated to serving the public good. Because of his mentorship, I have no tolerance for public officials who abuse the trust of the citizens. One of the reasons Toledo has seen relatively little political corruption, historically, is because the public doesn’t tolerate it either.

China seems like it's going to declare the whole China Sea its own , and block/police the South China Sea...currently international waters.
Australia atm has a military ranked about 17th in the world. Has recently just crept in front of Indonesia.
When...it all looks like going down in the South China Sea ...if all the countries in the region against its blocking sign on to the "Coalition of the Good" , and have decent weapons, plus Euros who trade with Australia etc, plus US...China might just think again.

Obergruppenführer McConnell und Reich News Obergruppendistorter Hannity have finally signaled that masks should be worn by the Trump National Socialists. 

it only took the fear that the virus was accelerating to spur their words.

Apparently 2.5 million infected Americans and 130,000 corpses wasn't a big enough sample size.

Fuck them theyre guilty of crimes against humanity.

Exactly what I said when objecting to having to register for the draft for the Vietnam war.
"Nuke Em".
"Can't do that" said war veteran father eager to see me drafted to "make a man out of you".
"Yes we can"..."we nuked Japan". "If I'm going to be used as cannon fodder and be slaughtered in the jungle, my life ended for nothing...then the whole world can end too."

China is hurling insults, good Trump is fighting the good fight.
Obama is too nice.

Maybe the Mayor should've just resigned.  Instead of holding her gated community neighbors to this type of emotional anguish.

Maybe.

Maybe marauding protesters Police should stop invading communities and subjecting residents to fear and emotional anguish.

There oughta be a law.

Gated communities are private property.

Good work, Aurora PD. Keep those violin vigils in their place!

This is what happens when anarchist rioting protesters make society sick of them,  the violin vigil folk  pay a price.

So hard to tell anarchists and violinists apart.   Anyone who has been to a Suzuki method recital knows this.

That's a helluva way to describe your supporters, Senator.

Though you might consider that if denied the right to air their grievances, rather than a microphone, the uneducated masses you hold in contempt, might be holding pitchforks or AR-15s.
