Trump

[gilesgoat]

Lots of caveats and doubt over whether this will actually be effective or just head-line grabbing, but Trump has signed Executive Orders designed to cut prescription drug prices in the US:

You mean an Aspirin now will cost $50 per box instead of $100 ?

Good diversionary tactics there from the Orange one, get people talking about drug prices while his stormtroopers (breaking the law by not displaying visible name badges or unit ID) snatch protestors off the streets...

I accidentally saw it yestrday while checking "News" on YT, apparently the guy was the caretaker of a quadraplegic and was pushing a wheelchair while people were protesting, a car passing by arrived and fired some shoots, one of which killed him.

No mention in other news whatsoever ...

There's a certain amount of information out there.

The guy who got shot was carrying an AR15. A car finished up in the middle of the protest, reports vary as to whether it drove deliberately into the crowd. Guy who got shot approached the car, reports vary as to whether his weapon was raised. He was shot. Somebody else shot at the car as it drove away. The driver was subsequently arrested and then released.

.. of course .. as you do in USA when going to a peaceful protest pushing a weelchair .. How could you NOT carry an AR15 .. and maybe a couple of hand grenades "just in case"

.. what a strange world we live in ..

So, lets all meet the person Trump has been tweeting about instead of his senior infectious diseases expert:

I he really just wants to deflect the media away from the complete clusterfuck he's made of <insert thing that's happening today>.

Fascist in "trying to do away with democracy" shocker. Always thought he'd probably find some way - indefinite "delays" seem as good as any

In Lisbon, generally a quieter city than several others, a 80 year old white guy shot and killed a 35 year old black guy that was sitted in a street bench with his dog. He clarified after arrest it was not racism, the problem was the black guy's dog.

More than a dozen people who work or are regulars to the stores and cafés in that area state they have watched the 80 year old going by there often and racially insulting the black guy who sat regularly with his dog at that hour (lunch time).

Indeed we live in a strange world.

Senior Republicans telling Trump he cannot delay the election, while the Postmaster has allegedly been told to "delay" mail.

But if voting by mail is so corrupt and open to abuse, why has Trump himself repeatedly done it?

Meanwhile a real President (Obama) gave a wonderful eulogy to the late, great Senator John Lewis.
