It's quite hard when you are a millionaire to claim you are oppressed though. I know he has subsequently lost money but I think he was a millionaire at the time. It comes across as very fake, virtue-signaling nonsense. Also the one big event of BlackLivesMatter was based off a complete lie in Ferguson, Missouri.

Where did he ever say he was personally oppressed or that the kneel was about him?

The main person quoted in the article worked for the Obama administration though.

I mean, it's one ex-official on background, but regardless, that wasn't what my comment is about.

Yeah well perhaps he should learn from that. People watch sport largely for entertainment reasons. It is a form of escapism from the every day meanderings of life. Making political statements in sport is always going to lead to controversy, especially in a polarised country like the USA.

Ah, that's the reaction when it's right wing cancel culture, eh Chris? ;)

Good stuff. It was vile anti-democratic actions by DeSantis.

Famed Democratic pollster: Warren as VP would lead to Biden victory

Contrary to conventional wisdom, Stan Greenberg says the Massachusetts senator would bring the biggest political upside — and he's making the case to Biden.
www.politico.com www.politico.com

Biden’s biggest problem, Greenberg said, is that the Democratic Party has not unified behind him. In fact, Biden is now behind where Clinton was with Bernie Sanders voters in 2016, with more than 20 percent of the democratic socialist’s backers saying they would not vote for him, even as 87 percent of them pledge to vote for a Democrat for Congress. At a similar point in the 2016 cycle, roughly 15 percent of Sanders voters said they wouldn’t vote for Hillary and Greenberg’s own polling through Democracy Corps around Election Day found the same.

“They lean towards the Democrats, but Biden’s not getting their votes yet,” Greenberg told POLITICO.

Even before Greenberg’s presentation, Biden’s campaign signaled that it recognized he had a serious problem with the left-wing. While most presidential candidates move to the center after capturing the nomination, Biden has tacked left. He recently partnered with Sanders to create “unity” task forces and Biden's team has spoken of New Deal-level ambitions. On policy, Biden has shifted on some issues such as immigration and college affordability, and in one case reversed himself when he embraced Warren’s bankruptcy plan.


Those moves, combined with Democrats’ motivation to oust Trump, might be enough to win over Sanders voters, whose defections in 2016 arguably cost Clinton the election. But Greenberg believes picking Warren is the clearest and easiest way to coalesce the party. He adds that Biden can’t simply match Clinton’s performance — he has to surpass it in order to ensure victory.

That is one of the things Elizabeth Warren was running on. For different reasons.

Here's Ellis Park, which you could fill and still have 7 000 folk in the queue to make up a total of 100 000 dead Americans.

Sorry to trouble you.
You're going to have to post some stadium pics for the nursing homes now.
Turns out it is their fault, not Cuomo.

Looks like "sleepy Joe" was a step ahead of the Orange Dotard.


Trump offers condolences day after US coronavirus death toll passes 100,000



Trump offered his condolences to the loved ones of Americans who have died from coronavirus, a day after the US death toll from the virus surpassed 100,000.
“We have just reached a very sad milestone with the coronavirus pandemic deaths reaching 100,000,” Trump wrote on Twitter this morning.

“To all of the families & friends of those who have passed, I want to extend my heartfelt sympathy & love for everything that these great people stood for & represent. God be with you!”

Trump did not initially weigh in on the country reaching the grim milestone yesterday, instead tweeting this morning about special counsel Robert Mueller, Democratic governor Gretchen Whitmer and his expected executive order directed at social media companies.

Trump’s Democratic rival, Joe Biden, released a video last night mourning the loss of 100,000 Americans. “For all of you who are hurting so badly, I’m so sorry for your loss,” Biden said. “This nation grieves with you. Take some solace from the fact we all grieve with you.”

Looks like March 18th was the first Covid related EO he signed... Then March 23rd & 27th, April 28th & 30th and May 14th.

Jan 21st was the first reported case of Covid in the States. I know they subsequently found the virus in an autopsy of someone who died earlier in Jan, but the 21st works just fine.

So two months...

Twitter fact-checked him yesterday.

It could be - it is filed under political humor.

However, EO seems issued on 19th May 2020. Not sure if that is just date on which this was updated.
