Stories like this make it a little more real.  To their federal government, the American people should be saying:

"You had one job to do...."

SDNY has indicted and taken into custody Steve Bannon.

Another day, another corrupt Trump crony is arrested for fraud.

I'm sure it's either coincidence or driven by politics, as so much else has been, according to Trump, et al.

After all, they promised they would use the money raised for their purposes and since their purposes were self-enrichment, what's the problem?!

And another GOP effort to undermine democracy has been stopped, as well.

People petitioned to have their names removed from the signature sheets when they learned that the Green Party did not support the goal to have their party on the ballot, but that it was a Republican-derived and funded effort.

Weekly job losses are back over a million. Trump has been killing more than a million jobs a week for more than five months now.

The conservative movement is a pure scam targeting low information racist failures and the criminally inclined.

Republican leaders are mentally ill and need to be given around the clock supervision to keep them from harming themselves or others rather than positions of authority where they do nothing but destroy and defile the institutions that keep us alive.

And not even just one way, either!

In 2016, Charlie Dent put himself in opposition to Trump, but said he would vote for neither Trump nor Clinton.

In 2020, he has endorsed Joe Biden.

Quote
In a study of 192 children up to age 22, 49 tested positive and another 18 had late-onset COVID-19-related illness. The data shows that infected children have a "significantly higher level" of the virus in their airways than adults who were hospitalized in ICUs for coronavirus treatment.

Children can carry a high viral load, which means they are more contagious, regardless of their susceptibility to developing an infection.

“I was surprised by the high levels of virus we found in children of all ages, especially in the first two days of infection,” said Dr. Lael Yonker, director of the MGH Cystic Fibrosis Center and lead author of the study. “I was not expecting the viral load to be so high.

"You think of a hospital, and of all of the precautions taken to treat severely ill adults, but the viral loads of these hospitalized patients are significantly lower than a ‘healthy child’ who is walking around with a high SARS-CoV-2 viral load.”

The most critical question pediatricians get from parents is what steps the schools will take “to keep the kids, teachers, and personnel safe," according to Yonker and Dr. Alessio Fasano, director of the Mucosal Immunology and Biology Research Center at MGH and senior author of the study.

Researches warn that schools shouldn't rely on temperature checks or symptom screenings to identify cases of coronavirus among students, according to recommendations from the study, which includes 30 co-authors from MGH, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard University.

“This study provides much-needed facts for policymakers to make the best decisions possible for schools, daycare centers and other institutions that serve children,” said Fasano.

“Kids are a possible source of spreading this virus, and this should be taken into account in the planning stages for reopening schools.”

I'm not into labels, but the only way Joe Biden is a "Moderate Republican" is by re-defining by what the Democratic and Republican Parties are.

Biden is an old-fashioned FDR coalition type of Democrat.  You can like it or not and want the Democratic Party to be different these days but in any event he's no Republican even with a tortured re-definition. 

It's also my view that if enough people actually view Biden as a "Moderate Republican" Trump is going to win again...
I am in favor of leaving ideological purity "XINO" tests to the Tea Party types. If Biden is a.moderate Republican, so, essentially,  am I.
