https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/27/politics/trump-income-taxes-new-york-times-report/index.html

Trump insists he pays "a lot" in federal income taxes and in state income taxes and he'll release his taxes "when the audit is over."

His organization said most of the numbers are inaccurate, but requested a copy of the documents.

"When they are done being audited," is what the Times should have replied. They just said no.

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/v7gwyy/new-body-cam-footage-raises-questions-about-breonna-taylor-death-investigation

Gee, the footage shows contradictions with the official testimony and claims of the officers involved as well as violations of department policy. Like the claim that none of the 7 raiders wore a body cam, but we can see one in the footage who was wearing one.

Are they suggesting that the police might have lied?!

Trump is staring in the face of financial as well as legal tsunamis in the likely event he’s drummed out of office and ridden out of town on a rail. The returns show this is just not a man you can trust. He can’t even trust himself to look after his own interests. Sad.

Gavin McInnes, founder of The Proud Boys, was born in Britain...is a Canadian writer...who was born in Britain
In my mind, he and The Proud Boys seem quite misguided.

A state judge in Michigan decreed that ballots can be counted as long as they are postmarked by the day before the election (Nov. 2) and received by Nov. 17.


heh

Better hope MI is inconsequential

Murray says the IHME model shows a "huge surge" expected to take off in October "and accelerate in November and December." The IHME model indicates that the country is currently seeing about 765 daily deaths from Covid-19, but that number could jump to 3,000 daily deaths by late December.

"It's vital that New Yorkers continue to practice the basic behaviors that drive our ability to fight Covid-19 as we move into the fall and flu season," Cuomo said in a statement. "Wearing masks, socially distancing and washing hands make a critical difference, as does the deliberate enforcement of state guidance by local governments."



https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/27/health/us-coronavirus-sunday/index.html


What else, Cuomo?  Tell us something new.  What have you discovered?

Nothing?

Exactly.

Chris Murray has both an undergraduate  degree and a medical degree from Harvard. He was a Rhodes Scholar. Some guy on a message board who thinks the West Wing is a documentary calls Chris Murray a dick. Thank God for the Internet.

Chris Murray is a dick.

How dare he report what the model says accurately!

IHME's model is currently low.

I hope they will prove to be high, but the conduct of (oh so terribly bright, says Ward) Americans in the face of the pandemic does not make me as optimistic as I would like to be.

So, Kid, what do you think is a better number? Or are you with Trump and you just want to seem optimistic and have the American people lied to (more)?!

This was a bit of a shocker:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/27/politics/brad-parscale-hospitalized/index.html

Brad Parscale was involuntarily hospitalized after his wife called police because he was suicidal and had weapons.

And while he may have been "demoted" from his prior position, he emptied his desk and is seldom seen in the offices.

I wonder if the NYT news about Trump had anything to do with his feelings today.

Regardless, I am pleased that he is getting help. May it be what he needs.

It takes a man who while doing everything in his power to profit off the presidency still loses money to steer the country in to trillions of dollars of new debt while at the same time destroying more than ten million jobs. That he’s also killing hundreds of us a day only makes him a mainstream republican.

I am impressed.

Doesn't mean he can't be a dick.

He could/should put his brains to much better use.

That's not entirely fair.

We don't know about 2018 or 2019 and we know that in 2016 and 2017 he is purported to have made money! Granted, not much, but still...

You would know about being a dick, I suppose.

But you have not explained why his accurately reporting the news makes him a dick, dick.
