My statement was based on positivity rate and daily cases. A glance at those charts, NY is doing rather well compared to Texas.

The request was based on projections. As any good leader would do, always request way more than you need, negotiate down from there. Luckily, they didn't need what was projected. NY is doing good now compared to other states, Texas being one of them.

https://www.factcheck.org/2020/06/trump-inherited-more-ventilators-than-have-been-distributed/ Yes, I agree should take it to another thread. Read the blue box in the middle of the article above. "All of these ventilators were serviced, recertified and operable" Also, since June 17, the govt has "distributed 10,640 ", which is less than the 16,000. So, NOT basically empty.

16,000 is hardly empty https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/24/politics/fact-check-trump-16000-ventilators-stockpile-obama/index.html

Hard to say at this time. I've only seen this reported by one website. Can't tell if someone got trolled or not. Those tiktok kids, ya know.

I agree he shouldn't have resisted once he was told he was under arrest. However, in learning about a reason why he did run and fight, I understand why he did it. Again, I don't agree but I understand why. Mr Brooks was already on probation. He was released from jail and was trying to get his life back on the right track for himself and especially for his family, two little girls and wife. Any contact with police may have resulted him going back to jail. I'm sure that ran through his mind once he heard the words, you're under arrest. So no, just alcohol counseling would not have been it. Did either of the police officers run his name to see what his situation was? Perhaps that may have influenced the officers actions. Who knows. Police officers go through training on when to shoot and when not. They already patted him down and he didn't have any lethal weapons on him. Is a taser a lethal weapon? Depends on what day it is from what I've seen. In any case, another tragedy.

I'm a Cubs fan so it doesn't matter to me either way. My opinion of what it should be changed to is the Texas Bluebonnets. They could have bluebonnets sticking out of their helmets when they come up to bat.

I don't read the Atlantic but given what media facts rated them, I would read it. I don't read opinion pieces because that is spun to fit a certain narrative, right or left; unless I need a good laugh. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/06/04/trump-explains-his-favorite-bible-stories/?fbclid=IwAR0gFo1WcQjG6DvHRgKaySRzYB6Szx7AWQWeub6EOP1nEEzVQDqhiNNSZDg I would make a more general statement rather than singling out one side or the other. Read the articles of your choice and decide for yourself if it make sense. Search other sources to support what was read. Does the article cite sources? Or is it just opinion? Do the news organizations update their articles based on new information arising? Do the news organizations retract/correct incorrect statements? No one website will get it right all the time.

There was a post (from a right wing account) on twitter and facebook showing pallets of bricks under a highway in my town. The post said that antifa is placing them out there for blah, blah, blah. Our police department shot it down. It was fake news. The pallets of bricks were used for a construction project. So, pictures of bricks... yeah. Then there's the fake antifa account run by the right: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/jun/01/facebook-posts/suspended-twitter-account-fans-misinformation-abou/

That's why the title says "so far". The people that came out at night were different people than the core of the daytime protesters. The looters and rioters were opportunists, gangs and criminals. Totally separate from the protesters. Were some embedded during the day, probably, opportunists.

You want to take down Santa Claus. Shame on you!!
