As they should be - but the optics of the man primarily responsible for our country's complete failure to prepare for and react to COVID-19 leading the charge with them are something.

It would be interesting if during his speech he downplays coronavirus and says that masks are stupid leading to supporters who came to the rally in masks abandoning them and getting sick at the rally. I feel like there would be a cause of action despite the waiver.

His brain dead bootlickers wouldn’t think less of their orange god if he showed up at their house and smeared his shit on their walls though so I doubt he’ll be getting sued.

There is a new book, that the East Wing calls fiction, which says that Melania took her 6 months to move to the WH as leverage for renegotiating her prenub.

It's like the RNC took PTO for the last 3 years.

WASHINGTON — When Republicans read the platform their party is using for the 2020 campaign, they may be surprised to see that it is full of condemnations of the sitting president.

“The survival of the internet as we know it is at risk,” the platform reads. “Its gravest peril originates in the White House, the current occupant of which has launched a campaign, both at home and internationally, to subjugate it to agents of government.”

The warning about speech online is one of more than three dozen unflattering references to either the “current president,” “current chief executive,” “current administration,” people “currently in control” of policy, or the “current occupant” of the White House that appear in the Republican platform. Adopted at the party’s 2016 convention, it has been carried over through 2024 after the executive committee of the Republican National Committee on Wednesday chose not to adopt a new platform for 2020.

ACTUAL illegal spying on American citizens:

A small Cessna Citation jet flying straight into Washington's highly restricted airspace would typically be met with fighter jets on its wing. But when one flew over the nation's capital on June 1 and circled the White House 20 times, it was hardly an accident. The plane was only one of several aircraft -- both piloted and unpiloted -- that CNN has been able to track flying over protests in Washington, Minneapolis and Las Vegas. Government watchdogs fear the planes were used to track protesters and perhaps capture cell phone data.

The government's use of surveillance planes to watch over those protesting the police killing of George Floyd has captured the attention of nearly three dozen Democrats in Congress who want to know whether the planes -- typically equipped with live video cameras and heat sensors -- were used for "surveilling of Americans engaged in peaceful protests."

In a June 9 letter to the heads of the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, Customs and Border Protection and the National Guard, lawmakers demanded an end to the practice "immediately and permanently" and called the use of aircraft above protests a "deep and profound" breach of Americans' First and Fourth Amendment rights.

It will have the added benefit of driving him crazy, hopefully not to the point of doing something crazy.

Trump is changing the date of his Tulsa rally due to it being on June 19th. Apparently he just realized the significance of the date. I imagine that he, Stephen Miller, Hannity, Carlson and all of his voters will not be happy about this.

His tweets on this are surprisingly--dare I say--level headed and non offensive, despite lying about having black friends and actually caring about the holiday of course. Maybe one of the grownups tweeted it for him. In any case, you just know he's raging on the inside and it'll come vomiting forth from him soon enough.

We had previously scheduled our #MAGA Rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for June 19th – a big deal. Unfortunately, however, this would fall on the Juneteenth Holiday. Many of my African American friends and supporters have reached out to suggest that we consider changing the date out...

...of respect for this Holiday, and in observance of this important occasion and all that it represents. I have therefore decided to move our rally to Saturday, June 20th, in order to honor their requests...

...We have already had ticket requests in excess of 200,000 people. I look forward to seeing everyone in Oklahoma!

High times in cow town, Devin Nunes cow and Devin Nunes Mom can’t be unmasked by Twitter.

Nunes’s attorney, Steven Biss, told The Fresno Bee that after Virginia Judge John Marshall opined that Twitter is not obligated to release the identities, finding out who they are so they can properly be served lawsuits is virtually impossible.

When did Missouri become so solid R? Latest poll has Trump up 8 which seems incredible to me.

Sarah Kendzior talks a lot about this since she lives there. Basically helped make her famous.
