do you really trust the accuracy of China's reporting? Perhaps there are many more people sick than stated. Perhaps some people are dying but not being reported (this was apparently the case early on)

I sit by a guy who's hometown is in the next provence from Wuhan. He says it's way worse than reported and yes, people are dying in homes and being under reported. He's worried about his elderly mom but his brother is there.

He's a bio-scientist and uses Chinese language sites to get updates. He has essentially the same number reported on the John Hopkins website but hours earlier. Says the numbers being reported are, "Being managed".

Every few days he say, "It should start to flatten out soon/now". Lately you can tell by his voice that he has no confidence in that. Would suck to have family over there.

What if one of those people was your cook at Apple Bee's last night?

I'd be more worried about the quality of the food. Even with an infected Corona virus cook, you're more likely to die from Applebee's food....lol.

Federal Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia crumbled seven years after hosting its Totalitarian Olympics in Sarajevo.

Third Reich was destroyed nine years after its Berlin Totalitarian Olympics.

Soviet Union collapsed eleven years after hosting the Moscow Totalitarian Olympics.

Showpiece Totalitarian Olympics are a huge undertaking, huge expense. The regime is at its Peak of Arrogance to put on such a spectacle.

Once peaked, there's only one direction to go.

MIT employs twisted maoist Chomsky who never recommended The Art of the Deal.

Yeah - Chomsky was too busy pimping for the Khmer Rouge and other Marxist psychopaths to take the time.

State Street is a commie bank

That would actually make 'em a bit smart. Remember, the North Vietnamese Army, after the US stopped re-supplying the South, did win in Saigon.

If State Street were in a similar situation, not only will the South beat 'em with 1/3 of the firepower, but will also make Hanoi into the next Las Vegas.

No, State Street is quite possibly, the dumbest big company in existence. If it weren't for all the silos in that house, you could automate 80% of the work over there, even w/o any AI or ML tools.

What better thing to do than promote a strait jacketed loonie to run in opposition to your preferred sane candidate? Only problem, sometimes the loonie actually gets elected.

This is excellent news the RINO's have needed to be pointed out for decades. I'm glad they are offering themselves up. Saves a lot of investigative reporting.

I lived in South Carolina all throughout my childhood, my brother still lives there. They don't vote for some Commie Jack ass just because some buthurt Mitt Romney Ass Packer told them to because Trump.

They can be fooled into voting for a RINO like Lindsey Graham, but not told to vote for a Godless Commie. At least Lindsey showed up at Churches to garner the vote.

He's just following his programming. He'll claim Globalist Stockholm Syndrome.

That's actually hilarious. Troll level 10000.

I would not be surprised if the Dems tri d to impeach twice.

Yes, the air in the bubble wrap is from China, but the lead tn the product kills off any viruses......

I registered as a Democrat about six months ago just so I could vote in the Dem primary in California.
Bernie is my boy! The great ship of jackasses is listing hard to port, taking on water due to the Drats gnawing at its plankings, and its financial sails are in tatters. But the one thing that can totally snap its spine and send it to Davey Jones’ Locker is an unabashed socialist with a large following of total nut job Leftists who will turn the cannons inward and fire off a massive salvo to “cleanse the heretics from the decks!”

I did as well. Got my ballot last night. Gabard is still on it.

The Great Socialist Paradise of New Venezuela is at hand!

I didn't have to register dumbass-o-crat to do it either.

I have no doubt about this.

“We recognize that the era of growth at all costs is over,” said Khosrowshahi.
Meanwhile, Uber is able to turn a robust positive EBITDA for its core ridesharing business, but its other bets have been pulling down the company’s profitability. The more revenue Uber Eats brings in, the larger the losses. This past quarter Uber Eats was able to improve its sales by 154% year-over-year, but the segment’s EBITDA was down 111%, somehow losing more than it netted in sales.

“We’re losing our damn minds”

That's assuming there is something left to lose.

James Carville says:

We have candidates on the debate stage talking about open borders and decriminalizing illegal immigration. They’re talking about doing away with nuclear energy and fracking. You’ve got Bernie Sanders talking about letting criminals and terrorists vote from jail cells.

He forgot to mention the phony impeachment that was started before Trump even took office.....

I do wish Tulsi were still in it. Is she?

She got zero votes in the Iowa circus.

Too much truth-telling about Saudi Arabia.

Just got a message from Tulsi's campaign (I donated $5) they need more donations to "win big in New Hampshire." She could give Trump a run for the money but the intelligence-political-media-militairy-industrial complex would never let her win.

She's still in it but she's not going to win it.

Twice, trice, as long as it takes. It’s a power play. And will only stop when some rich fucks start getting shot.

We can have the trinkets made in Vietnam.

Oh, yes, please, let's impeach twice. Before the Election. Surely this tactic will help them?
Trump can campaign hard while his so-called opponents have to sit in a kangaroo court. Great tactic.

Somebody mixed up road stripe paint with the orange pancake makeup. What a prankster. Was it Vindman?

Orange is the new black

If you wake up this angry, you won’t make it till the evening man. Happiness is a choice my friend.

Tim Aurora says

Clinton's impeachment were for having sex outside marriage.

Actually it was for lying to Congress you damn millennial.
And they’ve been trying to impeach Trump since he was elected. That’s a fucking fact. And it had nothing to do with any action he took. It was because he wasn’t one of their chosen finalists for the office.
Time to get a clue, Timmy
When you think you’re smarter than everyone else, you’re not. Just keep that rule in mind.

It was a commie invasion thanks for the correction.

This was an attempted coup for power. Treason. I demand those who orchestrated it be tried for treason and executed upon conviction!

HEYYOU says

Actually I'm not mad,just trolling

I stand corrected. Glad you are ok.

Calling Impeachment a ‘Coup’ Hurts America

No, attempting a coup hurts America.

It was an organized Democrat effort to remove Trump from office since January 2017.

From Valerie Plame's old cubicle at Langley, Eric Anthony Ciaramella worked as a liason between Lt Col Vindman, etc. and Schiff's staff.

Ciaramella organized the Executive branch members who wanted to see Trump removed from office. He acted as the conduit to help direct them to Schiff's staff.

The are other Democrat operatives like Alexandra Chulupa that may have assisted with this besides Schiff's staff, Eric Anthony Ciaramella, Lt Col Vindman, etc.

One thing that caught my attention was in Lt Col Vindman's written testimony. He wrote that President Trump "undermined US foreign policy".

I suspect Schiff's staff wrote that and it subconsciously shows how they viewed the career bureaucracy elements at State Department, NSC, etc. as creating and maintaining US foreign policy.

The President cannot "undermine US foreign policy" since he sets his "US foreign policy". He cannot undermine his own policy even if he changes it as his own discretion at any time.

Senator Lindsey Graham wants to find out how all this originated and transpired. He wants to know who initiated the complaint, why the initiated it, who they communicated with, etc.

I read that Lt Col Vindman's superior gave him a poor evaluation because he did not follow the chain of command. He did not notify his superiors about his concerns, and went directly to Congressman Schiff's staff about his concerns (via Eric Anthony Ciaramella ?).

Lt Col Vindman stated he communicated with NSC chief counsel John Eisenberg. Eisenberg told him to not tell anyone else about his concerns.

However, Schiff's staff was told of Vindman and they subpoened him. That means Vindman notified someone else despite Eisenberg's instruction. Vindman notified Eric Anthony Ciaramella who self-identified as the whistleblower with "second hand knowledge" of Trump's phone call. Ciaramella provided Vindman as his source to Schiff's staff.

Because of this reprimand from his superior, Lt Col Vindman was removed from his NSC position.
