Wait, an at&t network for first responders?
Man, when you can't trust 99 anymore, what's the world coming to?
Yeah his latest shtick is particularly fishy.

Are we supposed to trust him, or his third person counterpart?

Wait! People carrying Nazi flags and antiSemites at a "conservative", patriotic American protest supported by republicans?

No Way!

My tax dollars hard at work:

The state of Missouri has filed a federal lawsuit against China based on allegations that the Chinese government suppressed information about COVID-19 before the disease spread globally.

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt filed the lawsuit Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, contending in the complaint that the virus spread globally as a direct result of actions taken by Chinese President Xi Jinping’s regime.

You knew Trump would destroy the economy thru his stupidity and corruption. Then blame it on someone else. I blame Fred Trump.

I'm assuming the "padding" he's referencing is where if say...a patient is in hospice and is given 2 weeks to live, but then tests positive for covid19 and dies then it's counted as a covid19 death? Essentially that the numbers show number of people who died WITH covid19 rather than just those who died OF covid19?

Good.

At this point, this isn't about deflecting or assigning political blame. It's about asserting the necessity of decoupling and about building the case for "reputational risk" to those who resist because of the economic inconvenience it might entail. This is going to be a long, complicated, financially bruising process, and in order for it to happen and not collapse into entropy, people will have to egg it along, from time to time, in seemingly over-the-top ways.

Bild (the German newspaper) is planning a suit for $149b eruo, and trying to get Merkel to sign on.
75% of Britons agree that her majesty's government should sue. This is just the beginning.

It's absurd. And is simultaneously happening while the bodybags are piling up here.

It's absurd as a matter of law, perhaps.

But this isn't about the law.

It's about Eric. Hence, my choice for this thread.

You're mucking up the narrative with facts. That is patently frowned upon around here.
