We're basically watching the United States turn into North Korea.

And Trump made sure to rip off that mask right away when he arrived at the White House

Does Kim also owe lots of money to foreign entities of sketchy intent?

That is obviously some level of respiratory distress. As someone who's had a lot of bouts with bronchitis over the years that really does not look good.

It's not as if it needs to be said, but especially in the US, your average meatbag isn't getting the same level of care that the president does, likely including experimental antivirals and whatever else they pumped in him under a team of 20 specialists or however many were assigned to every aspect of keeping his hamburger ratios replaced.

Ya think? 

I've had a number of people tell me their doctor told them to stay home and not go to the hospital unless their fingers/lips turned blue. That's the reality for most.

Another Trump supporter said "if  you get covid, just call  your doctor and they'll arrange for you to pick up all the meds at your pharmacy." I said "Oh, so my pharmacy is going to send me home with monoclonal antibodies and remdesivir (both requiring IV administration) and a super high dose of steroids...sure, no doubt!"

I agree with those who commented about Trump appearing to be having breathing difficulty after climbing those stairs. I think he'll be back in the hospital before long. Foolish, foolish man.

. "I stood out front. I led. Nobody that's a leader would not do what I did. I know there's a risk there's a danger. That's OK. And now I'm better, and maybe I'm immune? I don't know. But don't let it dominate your lives. Get out there, be careful."

"All the smart and great world leaders I know got it... Jair Bolsonaro, Boris Johnson, probably even Kim Jong-Un by now. Only weak leaders like Justin and Joe are afraid of the Coronavirus."

 

[Joe S.]

"I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business," Trump wrote in a series of tweets Tuesday afternoon.

He is literally blackmailing his own citizens.

Not at all surprising, but still a horrifying example of the gaps in the "justice" system as it related to police officers whose actions need to be investigated properly.

The unfortunate reality is that the AG was likely accurate that there was not a way to make those charges against the other officers stick.  It doesn't make it right but it's likely true because the system is not about proper justice and enforcement of sound practices.  Where there is going to be a shitstorm out of this has been the AG claiming things that clearly didn't happen.

The way I understand it though is that getting charges out of a grand jury is pretty straightforward. I'm not sure if you mean by "stick" that there wasn't enough evidence for a conviction but I don't think that's the standard Grand Juries tend to go by.
