Trump should righfully fear being judged on the content of his character.

Trump and his campaign continue to unravel and beat the drums of racism and lies.

According to the report, that "noose/loop" had been hanging there for some time, but NOBODY noticed it. Seems very unlikely to me.

Suuure.....that's it.......

‘Born-again Karen’: Top Trump campaign attorney mocked for suggesting ‘they’ are trying to ‘cancel Christianity’ Jenna Ellis, Senior Legal Adviser to the Trump 2020 campaign and personal attorney to President Donald Trump, is being mocked on social media after posting a tweet suggesting Christianity is under attack and might be canceled. Few seem to know that her tweet follows her diatribe posted at the far right Breitbart website falsely claiming “The Left Will Cancel the Constitution.” Ellis is an anti-LGBTQ religious extremist who supports criminalizing homosexuality. GLAAD has an entire page documenting her attacks on the LGBTQ community. https://www.alternet.org/2020/06/born-again-karen-top-trump-campaign-attorney-mocked-for-suggesting-they-are-trying-to-cancel-christianity/

Roger Stone Prosecutor Says DOJ Leaders Applied ‘Heavy Pressure' To Cut Him A Break Aaron Zelinsky will tell Congress that Stone “was being treated differently from any other defendant because of his relationship to the President." Top Justice Department leadership put “heavy pressure” on a top federal prosecutor to cut former Donald Trump aide Roger Stone a break in his sentencing, a former prosecutor on the case plans to tell the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. Aaron S.J. Zelinsky will tell Congress that he repeatedly heard that Stone “was being treated differently from any other defendant because of his relationship to the President,” according to prepared testimony. https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/roger-stone-prosecutor-doj-pressure-sentencing-break_n_5ef25065c5b663ecc8548188?ri18n=true

Fauci Denies White House Ordered Test Slowdown Denials from a slew of top officials suggested the president was in, fact, making a strange joke about sabotaging testing in Tulsa—despite his insisting that he doesn’t “kid.” In a testament to the absurdity of the disastrous American response to the coronavirus pandemic, some of the top public health experts in the country on Tuesday denied having been ordered to decrease testing efforts that might help fight the deadly outbreak. “None of us have ever been told to slow down on testing, that just is a fact. In fact, we will be doing more testing,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Dr. Birx Contradicts Trump, Privately Tells Govs To Increase COVID Testing Her encouragement comes as governors concede to the feds that people are not abiding by their phased down public health guidelines. Dr. Deborah Birx, the coordinator of President Donald Trump’s coronavirus task force, told the nation’s governors in a call Monday that it was vital that they ramp up testing to find asymptomatic individuals to prevent further community spread. Her remarks stood in stark contrast to those by the president at his rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma over the weekend—and the days since—in which he said he had asked his team to slow-walk testing initiatives so as not to inflate the country’s official case count.

CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta: 'We Are Right Back To Square One' On Flattening The Curve "We should be having a new discussion, which is ‘bring this down to near zero,'" CNN's chief medical correspondent said of the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. By Lee Moran, HuffPost US CNN’s chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, on Monday warned that “we are right back to square one” when it comes to flattening the curve of coronavirus infections in some parts of the United States.

We still need a WTF emoji here.

Today on CBC radio, it was announced that 40% of the recent new cases in Alberta have been in the 20 to 40 age range, and has been linked to the re-opening of bars.

More Young People Are Testing Positive For COVID-19, Particularly In The South. Health officials suspect younger populations have given up on social distancing, which could put older people at risk. Health officials are reporting a significant rise in younger people testing positive for the new coronavirus, particularly in Southern states, raising fresh concerns about social distancing failures and fatigue as states continue to reopen businesses amid the pandemic. Over the last week, officials in Florida, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina have reported an uptick in COVID-19 cases among people in their 20s and 30s. In Florida, where the total case count surpassed 100,000 on Monday, the median age for coronavirus victims went from 65 at the beginning of March to 36 last week, according to the Florida Department of Health. https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/younger-people-testing-positive-covid-19_n_5ef0bf99c5b639909d576089?ri18n=true

On one occasion, yes. He, in a moment of candor, said that if a proposed bill to make voting easier was passed, it would mean that no Republican would ever be elected again.

Kayleigh McEnany falsely claims Trump didn't say "Kung Flu" at rally after racist remarks were taped. “To be clear, I think the media is trying to play games with the terminology of this virus!” McEnany claims White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany falsely claimed on Monday that President Donald Trump has never used racist terms like "Kung Flu" to describe the coronavirus pandemic. At a White House press briefing, CBS correspondent Weijia Jian noted that Trump had described himself as the least racist person in the world prior to using the phrase "Kung Flu" at a rally in Tulsa over the weekend. McEnany attempted to dodge the question, but the reporter pressed her. "Why does he use racist language like Kung Flu?" she asked. "The president doesn't," McEnany insisted despite video evidence proving otherwise. "What the president does do is point to the fact that the origin of the virus was China. It's a fair thing to point out." https://www.salon.com/2020/06/22/kayleigh-mcenany-falsely-claims-trump-didnt-say-kung-flu-at-rally-after-racist-remarks-were-taped_partner/

(More batshit crazy racism from Trump) Trump Tweets Multiple Videos of Random Black Men Attacking People Just after 10:30 p.m. ET on Monday night, President Donald Trump began tweeting out videos of random Black men attacking people in America. “So terrible!” Trump posted to Twitter, sharing a video from late last year of a woman who was violently shoved by Black man into the side of a subway car in New York City. (The NYPD said in October that the man in question had been arrested.) Less than two minutes after sending that tweet, the president shared another video clip, posting, “Looks [sic] what’s going on here. Where are the protesters? Was this man arrested?” This video went viral earlier this month and shows a Black man punching a white male inside a Macy’s in Michigan. Shortly after that one, Trump tweeted about Monday arrests “in D.C. for the disgraceful vandalism, in Lafayette Park [near the White House], of the magnificent Statue of Andrew Jackson, in addition to the exterior defacing of St. John’s Church across the street. 10 years in prison under the Veteran’s Memorial Preservation Act. Beware!” https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-tweets-multiple-videos-of-random-black-men-attacking-people?ref=home

Residents in summer tourism hot spots like Alberta and British Columbia are worried that Americans skirting the law are going to turn them into a different sort of hot spot. At first it was just a social media rumor: though the Canada/U.S. border is closed to non-essential travel, some travelers were believed to be using a loophole to gain entry into Canada. License plates from several U.S. states including Texas, Utah, Washington, Arizona, and California had been spotted in tourism hot spots. While on the waterways, U.S.-flagged vessels had been showing up in remote coastal communities where they’re the object of fear. The rumor was confirmed when a group of Americans showed up in Banff, Alberta, a couple weeks ago. According to local police, a complaint was filed when a group of four diners from Texas stopped in to a restaurant and told their server they weren’t actually going to Alaska, but were having a vacation. In Banff, the RCMP have issued a half-dozen tickets to Americans, and numerous complaints had been lodged with local government after residents spotted more and more American plates. As the RCMP began looking for and ticketing Americans in Banff, another wayward U.S.-plated vehicle was spotted. This time a couple from Arizona showed up in a campground in Golden, British Columbia. The couple told campground owners Joy Guyot and Michelle Nagydeak they’d crossed into Canada and were on their way home to Alaska. The thing was, according to Google Maps, the trip through picturesque Golden added more than eight hours of driving time to a direct trip to Alaska. https://www.thedailybeast.com/americans-are-using-this-loophole-to-vacation-in-canada?ref=home

Trump adviser says his China trade deal has collapsed — and spins a wildly dangerous conspiracy theory Peter Navarro, one of the top White House officials overseeing trade policy, said on Monday that the elusive deal with China that has so transfixed President Donald Trump has finally collapsed. He also pushed a warped and inflammatory version of the history of the coronavirus, attributing a malevolent intent behind the pandemic that is in no way supported by the evidence. To further his anti-China message, Navarro twisted the history of the virus, suggesting that the Chinese government knew of the disease in mid-November — though little credible evidence suggests such a timeline. He also falsely claimed that we only started to hear about the virus after Jan. 15, when in reality American officials discussed it with Chinese officials on Jan. 2. And while China did appear to downplay the threat and go after dissenters early on, Trump downplayed the dangers for much longer and after it was much clearer how devastating the virus could be. Navarro also claimed that China “sent hundreds of thousands of people to this country to spread that virus.” This is an outrageously dangerous lie to spread. It’s not only without evidence; it’s completely nonsensical. https://www.alternet.org/2020/06/trump-adviser-says-his-china-trade-deal-has-collapsed-and-spins-a-wildly-dangerous-conspiracy-theory/ (And the batshit crazy racism goes on and on)

Trump Baselessly Accuses Obama Of ‘Treason’ “Let’s see what happens to them now," the president said, once again attempting to shift blame for campaign interference to his predecessor. By Nick Visser, HuffPost US President Donald Trump accused former President Barack Obama of “treason” without evidence on Monday, again attempting to recast an investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign’s ties to Russia as an effort by Obama to spy on him. In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Trump levied specific charges against his predecessor for the first time. There is no evidence that the Obama White House was involved in an FBI investigation into Trump aides’ ties to Russia during the 2016 campaign, which later grew into special counsel Robert Mueller’s inquiry. “Treason. It’s treason,” Trump told CBN’s David Brody. “Look, when I came out a long time ago, I said they’ve been spying on my campaign, I said they’ve been taping...” “Turns out I was right,” the president continued. “Let’s see what happens to them now.” https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/trump-obama-treason-christian-broadcasting-network-interview_n_5ef14a77c5b655f740ebdf94?ri18n=true The desperate craziness builds.

Ronny Reagan did not have much to like. He and his flunkies contacted Iranian officials and negotiated an October surprise, that undermined Carter's negotiations to release US hostages until Reagan was elected. Then, they secretly sold weapons to Iran, used the money to buy drugs and sold them in the black neighbourhoods. Then they funnelled the profits to the Nicaraguan "Contras". When a reporter uncovered this, Col. Oliver North was charged and convicted only to be pardoned by Reagan. The reporter was found with several bullets in his head, but before that, the Reagan administration worked behind the scenes to destroy his career. Reagan used a famous Hollywood medium to counsel him on all important matters while Frank Sinatra spent a lot of time behind closed doors with Nancy. For the last two years of his presidency, he was lost in dementia but this was never disclosed to the public. a

Trump Baselessly Claims 2020 Election Is 'RIGGED' Months Before Any Votes Are Cast The president said foreign countries are printing phony ballots, but election officials say it would be virtually impossible for such ballots to go undetected. President Donald Trump on Monday baselessly claimed that the general election in November will be “RIGGED” because of mail-in ballots, a method for voting that the president himself has used multiple times. “This will be the Election disaster of our time,” Trump tweeted, citing an article from right-wing website Breitbart that featured comments Attorney General William Barr made Sunday during an interview with Fox News. Barr told Fox News that voting by mail “opens the floodgates to fraud.” He warned a foreign country could “print up tens of thousands of counterfeit ballots” and that it would be difficult to figure out which ballots were valid. Barr has not publicly provided any evidence to support his claim. And election administrators in multiple states have disputed this theory, stating it would be virtually impossible for a foreign country to peddle phony ballots undetected. Nonetheless, Trump declared the process compromised, months before any votes have been cast in the general election. https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/donald-trump-mail-in-ballots-election_n_5ef096b3c5b6c76a77844c79?ri18n=true (Trump has begun openly laying the groundwork to declare the next election as "invalid". The only way this can be prevented is by impeaching and removing Barr)

In Indonesia (I think) a "healer" who was offering to cure people (for a fee, of course) was arrested and ordered to atone by working in a ward for COVID victims as an orderly for three months without PPE. He didn't last long, contracting the virus and dying in about a month. Sounds like a damned good punishment for these loathsome parasites.

McEnany is a member of a fundamentalist chruch which believes that a nuclear holocaust will herald the return of Jesus and that Trump is an instrument of God's will and doing exactly what God wants him to do. To that end, lying is perfectly justified. The end justifies the means.

Army Soldier Plotted ‘Jihadi Attack’ on His Own Unit With Neo-Nazi Satanists: Feds In the latest incident of white-supremacist infiltration of the U.S. military, a soldier is charged with passing along information to attack his own unit. Spencer Ackerman/ REUTERS Federal prosecutors in New York accused a U.S. soldier of giving sensitive information on U.S. troop movements to a satanic white-supremacist group as part of a criminal conspiracy to murder U.S. military service members and provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. According to an indictment released Monday, Private Ethan Phelan Melzer provided “confidential U.S. Army information” to an infamous organization known as the Order of the Nine Angles (O9A), a British occult Nazi group whose works have been promoted by white-supremacist militia Atomwaffen and which has expressed support for al Qaeda. Melzer’s contacts within O9A described their plans as “literally organizing a jihadi attack.” Prosecutors say that Melzer shared information about his Army unit’s “location, movements, and security” with the satanic neo-Nazi group because he was allegedly planning an ambush attack on his fellow soldiers alongside O9A.

Hope they get rid of that Gawdaful Flash movie costume.

I doubt that anyone will be identifed as the culprit. Cynicism confessed to here.
