The question that must be asked

[malaise]

How did Don the criminally negligent Con manage to force the media to remove the virus from the lead story - in three days - from the announcement of the 100,000 deaths to the killing of George Floyd and now this level of violence?

One of my relatives thinks this is way more sinister than just madness

[Sogo]

1. I tend to agree.

I want to know who all those outside rioters are, and who is paying them.

That will tell us a lot of what's going on in this country!

[BigmanPigman]

3. I put my money on Putin.

[Sogo]

4. Yup...

Putin (and his puppet Trump) want nothing more than chaos in this country.

[Golden Raisin]

20. And they've got it. Big time!

Pandemic, economy in the shitter, raging unemployment numbers, implacable partisan divide (Congress and citizens) and now riots in major cities. Putin delighted.

[LakeArenal]

2. Yep.

[kairos12]

5. Death as distraction. He will attempt anything no matter how vile. It will get worse.

[malaise]

6. Anything for his reelection

and he will still lose

[Stuart G]

7. I believe it ain't over. The return to the deaths will happen. The question is not if,

it's when. The number could go to 150,000. Certain states are reopening & those states will participate in increasing the number.

...The killer, "Death" has taken some time out from the "Virus Show." Because of intense "stupidity" he will be back with a vengeance. Trump doesn't have a clue, and he has never had a clue. Those reopening too quickly haven't got a clue either. Those governors are actually stupider than Trump. They should know better and listen better. We will all see in the end. No one knows when this will be .."OVER"

[malaise]

8. Trump doesn't have a clue, and he has never had a clue

THIS

His obsession about his right to rule will be his undoing

[lunatica]

9. The virus will be back to kick his ass

out of the White House for good.

[Stuart G]

10. I believe you are totally correct. K and R your post.

[uponit7771]

11. K&R, Not only that but we're under 1000 deaths a day now? tia. Yeah, Red Don's tweet was

... the signal for his white supremacist to get busy.

[2naSalit]

12. Your relative is right. ...nt

[Beringia]

13. I don't think the cop who killed Floyd would agree to go to prison for life

to do a favor for anyone.

[malaise]

15. You are assuming that he's going to prison n/t

[The Magistrate]

14. Too Many Moving Parts, Ma'am

This was just one murderous cop too many for the moment....

[malaise]

16. Here are George Lloyd's final words

Dear friends,

These are the last words of George Floyd, a 46-year-old man who died as a US police officer pinned him down, kneeling on his neck for seven minutes, until he suffocated:

"It's my face man
I didn't do nothing serious man
please
please
please I can't breathe
please man
please somebody
please man
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
please
(inaudible)
man can't breathe, my face
just get up
I can't breathe
please (inaudible)
I can't breathe sh*t
I will
I can't move
mama
mama
I can't
my knee
my nuts
I'm through
I'm through
I'm claustrophobic
my stomach hurt
my neck hurts
everything hurts
some water or something
please
please
I can't breathe officer
don't kill me
they gon' kill me man
come on man
I cannot breathe
I cannot breathe
they gon' kill me
they gon' kill me
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
please sir
please
please
please I can't breathe"

Then his eyes shut and the pleas stop. George Floyd was pronounced dead shortly after.

[The Magistrate]

18. Cold Murder, Ma'am

I wouldn't blink if a crowd necklaced him.

[ecstatic]

17. They need to put the counter back on the screen

And leave it there for ALL news coverage topics.

[malaise]

19. +1,000

There should also a counter in every city square
