The number of human rights is getting excessive, according Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

As he was unveiling a report by his Commission on Unalienable Rights on Thursday, Pompeo stated that the U.S. is “forced to grapple with the tough choices about which rights to promote.”

“Americans have not only unalienable rights, but also positive rights, rights granted by governments, courts, multilateral bodies. Many are worth defending in light of our founding; others aren’t,” he asserted.

Here's one right we can rescind from Pompeo right now: The right to be in charge of anything!

38% and 34%, wow, still that many?

Not enough people have died yet in California, Texas, and Florida, plus the rest of the South.

Fact check: Metal strip in medical masks is not a 5G antenna

Well, they've solved that litle controversy. Right?

The 5G bands go from 450 MHz to 6 GHz, and 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz. No simple antenna can cover all of that. Mobile devices will have complex antennas that can be tuned as needed.

No One Wants To Go To Canada, Anyway: Trump Campaign Official On Border

And Canadians are fine with Americans not wanting to come right now.

m.huffingtonpost.ca

I’m not sure why you would want to go to Canada when we live in the greatest country on the face of the planet, that’s Donald Trump’s mentality on it,” Gidley said.
...
During the interview Gidley also noted that “Donald Trump has made [the U.S.] both feared, respected and loved across the globe like it never has been before.”

Trump in recent weeks has been committing less of his time and energy to managing the pandemic, according to advisers, and has only occasionally spoken in detail about the topic in his public appearances. One of these advisers said the president is “not really working this anymore. He doesn’t want to be distracted by it. He’s not calling and asking about data. He’s not worried about cases.”

He's "committing less of his time and energy". Didn't think you could get less than none except in maths class.

El Presidente Trumpissimo has been taking lessons from North Korea, China or so! Now true in America: government people just grabbing you off the street, well, because they can! Read it, read it now and spread the word!

Mayor of Portland to Trump: Get your troops out of the city!

The mayor of Portland demanded Friday that President Donald Trump remove militarized federal agents he deployed to the city after some detained people on streets far from federal property they were sent to protect.

“Keep your troops in your own buildings, or have them leave our city,” Mayor Ted Wheeler said at a news conference.

Democratic Gov. Kate Brown said Trump is looking for a confrontation in the hopes of winning political points elsewhere. It also serves as a distraction from the coronavirus pandemic, which is causing spiking numbers of infections in Oregon and the nation.

Brown's spokesman, Charles Boyle, said Friday that arresting people without probable cause is “extraordinarily concerning and a violation of their civil liberties and constitutional rights.”
[...]
“Usually when we see people in unmarked cars forcibly grab someone off the street we call it kidnapping," said Jann Carson, interim executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon. "The actions of the militarized federal officers are flat-out unconstitutional and will not go unanswered.”
[...]
“Authoritarian governments, not democratic republics, send unmarked authorities after protesters,” Democratic U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley said in a tweet.

And here's an eye witness report of one of the victims who was being detained:

Holy crap...

Can we just make them the copresidents of beans and be done with it?

My take on trying to force schools to reopen; the very rich don't send their kids to school, and most evangelicals don't any more either, or if they do, its to private schools that I'm not hearing a call to open up.

So, basically, they are trying to kill of 'liberals' and PoC.

I was hoping for a decent rendition of Don't Cry For Me America, but of course we got this instead.

Only dozens? Someone should have known that would become a meme fast.
