Naked corruption.

In the next two days, as Trump and Abe talked about trade and North Korea, Trump’s Palm Beach, Fla., club billed the U.S. government $13,700 for guest rooms, $16,500 for food and wine and $6,000 for the roses and other floral arrangements.

Trump’s club even charged for the smallest of services. When Trump and Abe met alone, with no food served, the government still got a bill for what they drank.

“Bilateral meeting,” the bill said. “Water.” $3 each.

Charging taxpayers $3 for Trump to get a glass of water at his own country club.

Russia orders national mask mandate as coronavirus cases spike

The Russian government previously said last week that the pandemic is "under control."

www.cbsnews.com

Russian President Vladimir Putin's administration is taking its most drastic measures yet to curb the second wave of COVID-19. The Russian government on Tuesday implemented a nationwide mask mandate, as coronavirus cases spike worldwide.

Under the new mandate, effective Wednesday, masks will be mandatory in crowded public spaces, such as public transportation, parking lots and elevators, according to the order published on the website for the federal health watchdog agency Rospotrebnadzor, also known as the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing.

The department has also advised local authorities to ban all entertainment activities, including bars and restaurants, between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. It recommended strengthening safety protocols on public transport, taxis, shops, restaurants and theaters.

Grifters going to grift.
The most disappointing thing about the Trumpets, is that they didn't care enough to take notice of what an atrocious business man their hero was all his life.
Not to mention just a broken human being.
Oh well, a few more days and the end of this nightmare will be in sight.
Yay TDS!

TDS
Trump Derangement Syndrome, is the unwavering adoration and devotion to a political leader, beginning with Donald Trump the namesake of the disorder, extending to other forms of leadership including presidents and rulers typically of a fascist or populist nature. While the name is meant to have pejorative connotations the actual condition is characterized primarily by behaviors found in in "cult of leader" or "cult of personality" scenarios.

indeed it is:

If it wasn't obvious before what a hack Kavanaugh is, it's painfully clear now

because people not qualified to be a supreme court justice get to authoritatively dismiss the opinion of a supreme court justice ... oh wait, they don't

No just you

Isn't that how it is with all massive Trump rallies or any other event where 1000s of people are leaving though?

So you're *for* mandatory mask wearing in Russia, and *against* mandatory mask wearing in the US.

Roger that.

are you f-ing high?

I'm against it, ALWAYS, thing is, Russia and USA are not my countries, if the general Russian populace supports the measure, so be it, they choose to have liberties trampled upon

the general US populace does NOT support it, and their leader is complying with their will ... which coincidentally aligns with my own view on things, insignificant as that may be

you see how this works yet?

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

I could swear that I was told very recently that the left has censored right wing conservatives

they sure are batting for Biden though:

Reply highlights:

If you provide buses, then you’ll encourage them not to bus for themselves.

Conservatives don't want hand outs. They should tell them to walk home.

Maybe their rugged individualism will get them home.

Surely there is a free market solution

Don’t buses trickle down?

Are they in North Nebraska or South Nebraska?

They just need to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and get themselves home. Do they just want handout transportation paid for by someone else? Freeloading socialists!

They are going to form a caravan

In some sense we’re all stranded on the same dark road, shaking our heads at the chaotic cluster unfolding.

Please wait...”the buses are just “rounding the corner.”

Weird how this keeps happening, ain't it.

Trump Official Brought Hate Connections to the White House

President Trump’s Deputy Communications Director Julia Hahn had connections to the white nationalist movement around the time she joined the White House as an aide, based upon hundreds of private correspondences that were leaked to Hatewatch by a former colleague and friend.

www.splcenter.org

Wow.

I see some locals have been punting this conspiracy in SA for a while. Now it all makes sense.

The leaked emails show Hahn is connected to Peter Brimelow, whom she refers to at one point casually by his first name. Brimelow founded the white nationalist hate group VDARE. VDARE traffics in the “white genocide” conspiracy theory, which suggests that white people are being systemically replaced in Western nations by non-white people.

To be fair to your post, only 66% of Republicans say they wear a mask when they leave home.

Poll finds more Americans than ever think we should wear masks

A new National Geographic survey found that most Americans, regardless of their backgrounds and political beliefs, have changed their minds about mask-wearing.
