People really are this gullible. They’re talking about Trump at Mt Rushmore and people being close together w/o masks
He’s trying to get America so sick that he can legally call off the Nov. elections. In a nat’l emergency, elections be postponed. I believe Putin is pulling the strings. Look at the new language in the election foreign interference bill. Meanwhile Fox is brainwashing the cult.

National Guard has put on gas masks.
@ eaglesoars:
Whoever said that apparently never took Con Law.
The date of the federal elections is established in the Constitution. It can’t be changed (short of amending the Constitution).
There’s no provision in law for “calling off” or postponing the elections, “national emergency” or not. It’s never once happened. Not during the Civil War…either World War…the Spanish Flu pandemic…the Great Depression…

Also when you get the “Meanwhile in Lansing” old page then wait for it to finish loading then hold down “CTRL” and click on the refresh button on the browser. That tells the browser not to use cache but get a clean copy. That should fix the browser end of things.
I think CW got the server .htaccess file sorted out OK.

Researchers at the Henry Ford Health System in Southeast Michigan have found that early administration of the drug hydroxychloroquine makes hospitalized patients substantially less likely to die.
Dr. Marcus Zervos, who heads the hospital’s infectious diseases unit, said at a news conference. “What we think was important in ours … is that patients were treated early. For hydroxychloroquine to have a benefit, it needs to begin before the patients begin to suffer some of the severe immune reactions that patients can have with COVID.”
A statement from the Trump campaign hailed the study as “fantastic news.”
“Fortunately, the Trump Administration secured a massive supply of hydroxychloroquine for the national stockpile months ago,” a statement read.
Oh no!….Hydroxychloroquine treatment has proved successful and Trump was right all along!
The Democrats and the media will slit their wrists if this saves people and helps the economy recover!!
Either that, or declare the medicine racist and try to burn down the laboratories.

Hmmm, apparently if you

C) believe in self defense
You are now certifiably racist.

Did anyone hear Trump say anything about Homeland Security Rapid Deployment Forces? As in, creating them? I’ve seen some comments but I must have missed it in the speech.
@ eaglesoars:
Yes, to protect fedgov properties
@ coldwarrior:
ah, ok, thx
Brian Stelter showing his stupidity yet again:
Mrs coldwarrior said ‘NYET’ to fireworks.
I vetoed. I am an American, a vet, and done with cancer treatments, and Trump is president.
So I only spent 300.
Happy 4th, everyone!
Trump killed it with that speech last night. The Idiot Left was in paroxysms of panic. I love all of it.

@ rain of lead:
I would add John Moses Browning and Samuel Colt.
And maybe Stevie Ray Vaughan
Also Chuck Norris

Well, this proves that Trump is doomed. Hundreds of former Bush staffers have formed a PAC to oppose him:
@ lobo91:
I think it proves he’s on the right track, and will win easily in November.

If it makes you feel any better, we used to celebrate Guy Fawkes Day with my Brit sis-in-law, before she and my brother got divorced. That was fun.

The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.—I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.
Alas, it was not to be. But Adams was close.
Adams had been appointed to the Committee of Five to write a document—a declaration—that told the world why the colonies cut ties with Britain. Thomas Jefferson had been working on a draft, which he gave to Adams and Benjamin Franklin for their review. Then he incorporated their changes into the draft, and submitted that draft to Congress. The delegates debated it, took out passages critical of the English people and of slavery, and adopted it—on July 4, the day that, every year, we celebrate our independence.
Was that the Benjamin Franklin that flew a kite in a thunderstorm?
Fucking stupid.
Now you know why The United States is so messed up.
Kite, thunderstorm? YEAH!!!!!
I’m not sure what’s happening here. This may be Stone Mountain Georgia, but it LOOKS like armed Black Panthers are now stopping traffic. I can’t understand what’s being said, I can hear the word ‘reparations’

We have some swine flu going on now.
This is great. Eating food makes you an accomplice to murder.
HUNDREDS OF WORKERS MAY HAVE CONTRACTED COVID-19 TO GET YOU THE FOOD ON YOUR PLATE THIS JULY 4TH.
A BuzzFeed News investigation reveals the extent to which the virus — and the nation’s inadequate response to it — has infected, sickened, and even killed workers up and down the nation’s food supply chains as they work to keep our refrigerators full.
Take a typical summer feast: tangy ribs, a side of creamy pasta salad, and a slice of freshly baked apple pie. If you shop at a Walmart Supercenter, in, say, Massachusetts, the apples you’d buy would have been picked by workers in Washington state’s Yakima Valley, who live in a crowded labor camp with few protections in place. The fruit would then be sorted into boxes in an Allan Bros. packhouse, which for weeks failed to follow federal COVID-19 safety guidelines — even after employees started falling ill.
And the author gets ZERO sympathy.

It’s time the Irish rose up. I was shocked to find out I have Scandanavian DNA (Norway, it turns out). Ah ha! Did you know the Vikings used Ireland as pretty much a slave farm for about 300 years? Yeppers. The Scandanavians enslaved my ancestors and I want reparations forever and ever and ever.

Remember she is thenewsie that commended Trump on his handling of the pandemic.
She has been trying to make amends ever since. She commended Trump on his handling of the Pandemic. So she criticized Trump for his divisive speech on the 4th.
She was out of sorts because he verbally attacke ” mostly peaceful” protestors.
