"Russians are asking for armored vehicles" If anyone still thinks Russia is saving equipment for "the main invasion", this absolutely discounts such an idea.

@Quentin Carney - find the place in the Constitution or Bill of Rights where it reads "Right to not wear a mask (especially during a pandemic)." If you find me that section, I'll show you the section where you have a "Right to common sense."

Best of luck to the Okies who did go to the rally (even though it looked like seating at an 80s Atlanta Braves game ("Major League" 1989 reference) ...some people want to learn the hard way. We're steaming towards 150k dead (5 years worth of flu deaths) in just 6 months and T-Diddy calls that a good job.

"I feared for my life..." so, let go of the car, genius, and you don't have to fear being dragged. He was already reaching for the pistola before the car started moving. You can see both of the driver's hands. This was an execution.

It's very, very perfect.

Well, it's Louisiana. They're God's children and all, but they sure are a little slower than other folks...bless their hearts.

Jared should slip some extra pepper or spice into his food to get him coughing. Everyone at the table will have a good laugh because there's nothing to worry about!

I find it sad. Republicans have no leadership.

Yes. Because excluding males is "equality". This is a perfect example of toxic feminism. "All women" is not equality.

Joseph McCracken - when you wash your hands, you physically wash the virus off. Soap, antibacterial or otherwise, aids in scrubbing and emulsification to help the water rinse the virus off your skin. So, antibacterial soap will help against a virus because the soap's sudsing action is more effective than water alone.

Well, now, ironically, Trump is creating a genuine issue of States' Rights.

@bobo1234TT - evil also doesn't need provocation

Jeremy Parker - I understand that. I'm saying it's not possible to have a vaccine before having a sample of the virus. Once they begin crafting a vaccine, it isn't a simple procedure to get the desired immune system response to develop antibodies without causing more harm than the virus itself.

The girl was driving. Never seen a bad woman driver?

I told a friend, who doesn't follow Trump news, that T-Diddy wanted to invade the US. He didn't believe me. Now, we've got conversations in the White House where advisors have to tell the POTUS that he shouldn't invade the US. Standing army in forced upon the states? Kinda sounds like the catylst that birthed this great nation!

Agent J - unfortunately, for too many people, if they or someone they care about hasn't been impacted, then, yes. The deaths are just numbers. They aren't peoples' mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters...just numbers.

2:03 Fact check: "the bag contained 3 automatic handguns" Automatic handguns are extremely rare, expensive and hard to come by. Automatic means one trigger pull can send all the bullets from the magazine down the barrel. Likely they were semi-automatic, which means that one trigger pull sends one bullet down the barrel. If you're going to report on a subject, learn something about it. As it is, you choose to use more dramatic, but incorrect, terminology to illicit a response. You're telling a story, not reporting news. This is fine for a fictional dramatic show. It is not fine for an alleged news show. Just the facts, ma'am (and try to get those correct, it's kind of important to your credibility).

@johnnystar4512 - medicine can't treat covid19. It's up the body to work through it. At his age, it would probably be a death sentence. It's why he explodes when someone in the White House tests positive. He fears covid19 all the while he's telling people it's no big deal. Trump. Real leadership. Real. American. Genius.

ronkostars - hydroxy chloroquine does nothing to treat covid19. Welcome to the real world. Come in and have a seat.

1:47 What is Giuliani doing to this poor handkerchief??

Because Israel is the Russia of the Middle East, this is a catch 22 situation for any US president. Do you fully support the Israelis, despite the fact that their own regional political policies have created this situation for themselves and ignore the fact that hardline Israeli leadership benefits from HAMAS? Do you advocate for the Palestinian civilians caught in the middle of the HAMAS terrorists and the Israeli "General Sherman's March"? Make a choice and have a majority of people disapprove either way. I suppose that sums up the responsibility of leadership.

It's just the flu. Why are so many people going to the hospital all at once?? /facepalm
2
Jeremy Parker - Don't take my word for it. You can do your own research into how vaccines are created. It's not possible to make a vaccine that quickly and ensure efficacy or safety. Most people develop mild symptoms with covid19. There's no way that any doctor would administer a vaccine to potus that could be more dangerous than the virus itself.
2
0:40 "there's no symptoms or anything." That's what a lot of people in Italy said. They jumped from 300 cases to 9000 cases in the two week incubation period. It will be good entertainment if the Pres gets sick, especially at his age.

My business spends about about $4000 a month on fuel. That's not insignificant, but I'm all for paying more at the pump in order to know I'm not helping finance Russia's invasion of Ukraine!! Russian oil imports are only 3% of us oil use. Plus, if it has the added benefit of giving American workers in our own oilfield services companies added work or job demand, even better.
2
Ya, that would have been interesting to know.
2
@robinlillian9471 - well, that's the point. They make a big deal about where this guy traveled, but it's less relevant than finding out where he got it from. Since that person has been unknowingly spreading it for longer.
2
@smellyfly9469 - With what you said, it's ironic and sad that YOU are accusing someone else of not being able to think independently.
2
Right, but if you have "well over 200k casualties" as Millie stated, you have more than the 17k KIA that the document stated.

@Livelaughshart - Hi, thanks for the comment and I'm glad you agree with me. The video is about an ALL FEMALE fire department. So, they are excluding men. As you wisely said, that IS toxic.

@notleviathan855 - I was going with the impression that since the guy had criminal intent legality wouldn't be a factor in what weapons he'd use. That's the thing some people leave out of the gun control arguments: a person with criminal intent doesn't care what law is on the books. They are already planning to commit crime, violating laws. Adding more laws won't remove the criminal intent or prevent the crime. It just means that the criminal will be violating more laws. In the case where the criminal commits suicide or is killed, the extra laws don't even result in more punishment because he's already dead. Either way, the news caster needs to check her facts or the integrity and intent of her story becomes questionable.

@christianlibertarian5488 - Russia has tanks. What they don't have is logistics or WORKING tanks. There, I hate the acronym, but ftfy

@billmitchell1955 - don't believe that Russia is asking China for help? Hmmm....

@jj007104 - the US "disinformation machine" is nothing compared to the propaganda and information lock down that Russia and China have.

@billmitchell1955 - well comparing Russia's "modern" armor to WWII isn't too far off. Their most advanced tanks are Vietnam era designs.

@jj007104 - I have an ethnic Russian friend who fled Donetsk (city in part of the region in eastern Ukraine that was taken by Russian proxies, not separatists) during the 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Initially, when I tried to tell her war was coming and to be ready to leave, she didn't believe me because, being Russian, she watched the Russian news on TV (TV stations from Russia) and online with Russian news sources. They all were saying everything was fine, no fighting, nothing to worry about. She even blew me off saying, "no all that stuff is just in Kiev" regarding the Maidan revolution that had just taken place. Finally when gunfire was audible, she tells me she's so confused because Russian and Ukrainian news say opposite things. Luckily she left before the Russian proxies started shelling the city with captured artillery. Her grandmother wouldn't leave her home though and did die from injuries during an artillery strike. A not on "separatists" in eastern Ukraine: there were no separatists until AFTER Russia took over the regions. Russia used proxy fighters, foreigners that they bussed in, mainly criminals and anarchists supported by Russian special forces who trained them and called in helicopter gunship air support when Ukraine tried to retake the areas. After Maidan, even though there were some "anti Russian" murmers and potential legislation to make Ukrainian the sole official language, nobody in the eastern regions (Luhansk and Donetsk) cared because those regions were already mostly autonomous and governed themselves within the borders of Ukraine. As an added bonus, the first president of the Donetsk People's Republic wasn't Russian OR Ukrainian. The Russian people in Ukraine didn't pay much attention or care as to what was going on in Kiev and certainly weren't being persecuted. My friend didn't flee until the danger arrived FROM THE EAST, from Russia. I'm not sure what reporting you saw on it, but that's my experience from talking to someone who lived there and researching what was going on so I could relay less confusing info to her about what was happening in the geopolitical realm and where the Russians were moving. Unfortunately, we're playing the same game again. I'm having to watch the Russian invasion and give her outside updates that cut through some of the Russian and Ukrainian propaganda. Speak the Truth channel is a great resource. It's a couple former military guys who are doing the best they can to vet information and update a map and provide discussions and context based on the operational history in our (USA) recent wars.

The problem is that these planes are designed with software that tries (keyword: "tries") to fly the aircraft while completely disregarding the pilots control inputs if the software doesn't agree. Basically, the smarty pants tech motherfuckers who designed, approved, and coded the software don't have to risk their lives in a machine that argues with its human operator. There are issues with the fancy pants helmets and with there being needlessly extra steps to tell the aircraft how the pilot is intending to fly it. This will be listed as pilot error, but it's actually an error of the software designers not understanding or caring what the pilot needs and what he doesn't.
1
@FilnetMgnigon - A person doesn't need to be in aerospace engineering to be in common sense. When the software designers don't solicit or (more likely) disregard the end users input on the efficiency, safety, or user friendliness of a software system, bad things happen. When that software is arguing or fighting with the human operator of a $100 million dollar weapon system, very expensive bad things happen. The F35 is basically not designed with the human pilot in mind. Obviously, the military wants to eventually completely remove the expense and liability of the pilot. Unfortunately, for the pilots in this interim period, the machines are not designed around them or even designed to obey their commands, if the computer software thinks it knows better. It's not difficult to find commentary from experienced fighter pilots who've flown various platforms who say the F35 is the most fatiguing fighter they've had to put up with.

@z-form2559 - because 1% of A LOT, is still a lot. These "no big deal" people forget that part of the math.

ronkostars - no doctors are treating covid19 patients with hydroxy chloroquine. It was being administered and evaluations showed it completely ineffective. It's use was then suspended as a covid19 treatment. There is no medical treatment that can cure covid19. It is entirely up to the body to work through it. Please fact check yourself, if you're not just trying to troll. You look like an idiot when you say things like you did. If you're an idiot or a troll, though, you're in good shape!
1
ronkostars - OK. Now I know you're just a troll. Saying "only a million dead, no biggie" is a big giveaway that you're trolling. You got me. Have a pleasant day.

We still have lots of Americans saying, "see, lock downs and social distancing aren't reducing the spread." The really fun part of this is that it IS helping slow the transmission. 2 million deaths possible if people keep walking around like there's nothing to be concerned about... Or, 200k dead if we actually do things right. It could actually be much worse than that. Without proper ppe and enough ppe to change for each patient, medical workers will end up catching and spreading it and they'll get knocked out in bigger numbers than other counties. A triple whammy. Worse still is if medical personnel answer Cuomo's call to come help. Then take covid19 back to their communities. Stupid, stupid response. We got started Waaaay too late, in large part because president T-Diddy, being a certified medical doctor and scientific data analyst, said covid19 was very, very under control because we only had 9 cases. Wait, those 9 cases were out spreading covid19, unknowingly, for 14 days before actually getting sick with symptoms? That's kind of a pertinent thing to consider. Well, let's test people they've been in contact with and isolate. There's no tests available? Uhhh, well, if there's no tests available, we can't have any more confirmed cases. So, it's all very, very under control. /facepalm Mr. President, here's some crayons and an Applebee's placemat. Keep yourself occupied and let the adults talk, please.

So, which was the offense that required use of fatal force? Being black or being a bad driver?

Left, Right, Democrat, Republican... You're playing right into the hands of the powers that be, designed to sow strife and division to keep the population at large from banding together to affect real change and unseat all the entrenched fat cats. As long as you support division, you are part of the problem.
1
@cfonde - they are falling victim to the same "us or them" mindset you're exhibiting. You're both wrong. Look at the words you just wrote. Your complaining that they are as set in their way of thinking as you are. That keeps the division going. Neither Left or Right, Democrat or Republican is completely correct in the best course of leadership. The important thing is that you and "those other narrow minded people" choose a side and blindly stick with it. That keeps the people in power safe from both you AND "them". In essence, you're actually being manipulated, by the powerful, to work with the "other people" (leftists, in your case) to keep yourselves divided. You're working with those people towards this same goal, despite the fact that both you and "those leftists" refuse to work together or even have a respectful dialog. Think about it. How do you benefit by being against those people? How do those people benefit by being against you? Neither you or them wins. The people putting you at each other are the only winners and those people are manipulating you and the people you're against.

These oligarchs cry that Putin doesn't listen to them for anything. But, they are likely holding assets of Putin's. So, it's good if none of them get to use their ill gotten assets.

It's awesome that she recovered. But, I hope president T-Diddy doesn't see this. He'll say potato soup is a prophylactic against covid19.

China and Russia are holding human evolution back.

Jeremy Parker - if would be nice if that was scientifically possible.
1
Jeremy Parker - actually, it is new. That's why it's referred to as "novel coronavirus". "Novel" in this usage means "new or unusual". A vaccine was just recently developed. Samples of it have been sent to China to determine if it actually causes the immune system to develop antibodies that will attack covid19 and prevent a person from becoming sick and if the vaccine is safe (doesn't have any side effects or actually cause infection). Ni doctor would give a virtually untested vaccine to the president, especially for something like covid19 that results in only mild symptoms for most people.

I'd love to see Trump catch covid from one of those "I feel fine" healthy Americans that's too selfish and inconsiderate to wear a mask.
1
@Highvibes777 - It's sad. People say exactly that...until end up facing death. I could ask you to also look into the facts. Even if you don't die, does a two week flu sound fun? Does a two month recovery ordeal sound minor? Does having permanent damage to lung tissue sound beneficial? Does having a friend or family member die because you "didn't believe it was dangerous" sound heart-warming?

Russia cutting its nose off to spite its face. This is great news for Ukraine. Losing the 30% of its revenue will diminish Russia's ability to wage a war of attrition.

Basic medication like Tylenol and Aspirin aren't made in the USA anymore, either. That seems to be a national security issue to depend on a potential adversary (China) for such basic medicines (and other required items).

@crispinfornoff206 - I criticized the murderous police officer who lit the match that set off the protests. Attending a protest because a citizen was murdered by the people who are supposed to uphold the law (not to mention the racism) is something I would count as more "necessary than a political rally. If a person supports the candidate, there's no need to go to a rally. The candidate already has their vote. It's a dog and pony show. Compare that with an actual need to send government a message that police brutality and police racism can't be tolerated. If the cops keep killing unarmed or subdued citizens, then there is a need for people to speak out. That said, in time of a pandemic, I think the protesters were being irresponsible (both the George Floyd and "Let us back to work, don't step on snek" protesters). However, not all spikes in cases can be attributed to the George Floyd protests. In many areas protesters are going for testing and frequently coming up negative (mainly in areas where they were masked and trying to keep some distance). Mother's Day and Memorial Day gatherings were also irresponsible and likely where current spikes got a toe hold, fueled by business re-openings with many people acting as though the storm had passed, not realizing we were just in the eye.

@scotttousey227 - that's an excellent philosophy...if you're living in an anarchy. Let's take your example further. You will end up in the hospital someday, for something, (or someone you care about will). The doctor refuses to wear a mask, to prevent the spread of germs during a surgery (because you don't get to force anything on him and don't tread on him and all that). He exhales germs that end up causing post surgical infection or sepsis and you or your loved one becomes very ill or dies. All good, right? It's the doctor's choice whether or not do what he can to prevent infection during surgery. Let's take your example smaller. You see traffic signals everywhere. How great would it be if nobody respected them? It's my Right to choose to stop on red or go through. If I T-bone you in the intersection, it's your fault for not seeing that I was coming and not acting to avoid the collision. Don't tell me I need to stop a red light! I have freedoms! The problem with living in a SOCIETY is that each individual has responsibilities to keep that society functioning. Don't tread on me really only works in anarchy. You may think that would be great because you really could do whatever you want, including providing for your own personal safety. The flaw in that thinking is that someone else will always have a bigger stick. There are countries in the world which are in near anarchy. Google around. These places are guaranteed to not have a government tread on you. However, the down side is that a warlord or someone from a different tribe or faction damn sure will. If you enjoy the relatively stable society we live in, you should be happy to do your part to keep it functioning. You have Rights guaranteed to you in the Constitution. The Right "to be a selfish idiot" is not in there. I double checked.

@sarahbrown5073 - when was this BBC investigation? Realistically, with Russia's burn rate on troops in it's wave attacks, KIA is going to currently be closer to 50k to 75k with the conservative estimates. There's a lot of fighting and a lot of dying going on in Ukraine.
1
@MoeDoe1 - he said "well over 200k casualties". 200k casualties would INCLUDE around 50k KIA. And, those are the conservative estimates. Then, there's the possibility that when people say, "Russian casualties" they aren't including DNR and DPR fighters, which are technically Ukrainians or the massive casualties Wagner and smaller private military companies have sustained because, while predominantly Russian, they aren't "Russian military". Russia doesn't count those categories as Russian casualties. So, after a year of fighting, 200k isn't high, it's conservative when you consider all the various entities fighting under the Russian umbrella. The fact is that Russia mobilized over 300k citizens and many were immediately deployed to the frontline in Ukraine to prevent Ukraine from being able to overwhelm Russian lines the way they did with Kharkiv. The ones that did actually receive training, have been showing up in Ukraine in infantry units instead of whatever jobs, artillery, tank crew, etc that they were trained for. That is evidence that the Russian mobiliki losses have been very high, if mobiliki trained for other jobs are having to fill gaps in infantry units that the mobiliki who went straight to Ukraine had filled. Further backing that up is that Russia is doing stealth mobilization after the fallout of the previous mobilization. Russia is recruiting from prisons, extending contract soldier's terms indefinitely, and has implement nonstop conscription instead of the previous twice yearly conscription calls and raised the age of who qualifies for conscription and removed the exemption for university students and graduates. Russia wouldn't be needing so many extra troops just to hold back Ukraine in the south and make nearly zero progress in the east if they weren't losing troops. I'd guesstimate total casualties for all Russia affiliated combatants at over 400k with around 100k of that being KIA. Those numbers may seem outrageously huge compared to what we, the US, experiencesd in 20 years of invasioneering in the Middle East. However, unlike the massive air campaign followed by a rapid invasion and then counterinsurgency effort, Ukraine is a total conventional war between forces that have some level of parity in combat power (Russia having more troops and vehicles with less regard for casualties while Ukraine has better training and more flexible leadership along with some battlefield tech superiority). Total casualties for both sides will probably be nearing 1 million after Ukraine's next offensive. Lots of fighting, lots of dying. Think of it like this, Russian tank crew deaths have been over 6,000. Nobody is surviving as wounded when the tank is destroyed by missile or tank gun hit. To think that some sources are claiming 16k Russian casualties total means injuries and deaths from all other sources, including artillery and direct infantry combat only add up to 10k after over a year is ludicrous. Western estimates had Russia, including Wagner and DNR / DPR incurring nearly that many casualties PER MONTH through February and March.

It's ironic that all these cultists (cult of personality) are protesting because they "demand a legitimate election" when they are, in fact, impeding a legitimate election and hand off of power. I just wish these cultists could realize that blindly supporting a narcissist won't bring them the wealth, power, and charisma that Trump has. Trump is the type of person who will pat you, the average not wealthy person, on the back and tell you how very, very wonderful you are while he's reaching for your wallet with his free hand.
