Slightly OT: can anyone explain why Trump was saying (a week or so ago) that Democrats want to keep schools closed because that will benefit them in the election?I know he is rarely logical or coherent, but has he explained that at all?
So nice to see that improved broadband access is in there. It's all too easy to say "Remote learning" when you have the high speed internet that allows for you to watch instructional videos with no problem, and a device that lets you watch them without squinting. But if you're in a poor or remote district, where the school doesn't have broadband access - nevermind the students - or the tech to make and distribute videos and other course materials....
My take is that he thinks the Democrats are trying to make him look bad by overblowing the impact of Covid 19. It's similar to Donny Junior's tweets that the crisis will end after the election.
That'll be the Secretary of Education's job. Dr. Jill, as First Lady, will have her own duties that won't impinge on the Secretary's like some common Trump relative.
My post office now closes from 1:00 - 2:15 PM for lunch, because they don't have enough staff to handle the customers during that time. They've also started propping the doors open during the day (80-90F) and shutting off the air conditioning.
i am supposed to be a welshman. my name is 'jones' but my grandmother came from scotland and my grandfather came from ireland and all the other 'grands' were stuck in the dakotas with the name jones.
Read Ronan Farrow's Catch and Kill, if you have not already. He worked at NBC and they were trying to kill his investigation into Weinstein and one of his associates at NBC was doing the same type of sexual harassment tactics and they were covering for him.
I did! And ... it was! There was a very quiet shakeup at the top over there while we were all watching the rest of this stuff but they ousted one white man and replaced him with another one so I keep watching to see what, exactly, has changed ...
But yes. About halfway through, I started wondering what exactly, if anything, was going to happen to Andrew Lack.

Hey, I didn't say it was a smart reaction.
There are videos. Every room in Epstein's New York mansion had cameras. Every room.
Ghislaine Maxwell is an atomic bomb.
Ms. Donna Rose has a serious side eye for character.
Biden, man.https://www.youtube.com/wat...

That picture always makes me laugh.

Trump's a fucking bastard.

so probably not actually welsh.

Especially since the Republicans want an uneducated populace...
It's what they went to after they could no longer plausibly call most people on the left actual Red Communists.
Excellent post,JS. People always forget that time will elapse and things will get better.
Of course, that is big picture thinking and does not address, let alone see all the individual tragedies alongside that path.
Where are you from, originally? I'm happy to take this to PM if you want, but you interest me strangely, old umbrella.
