It's perfectly clear that he does NOT have the authoritah to do so

Trump hates that pesky constitution
He'd better hope it's up held, particularly the part about cruel and unusual punishments, cause justice for Donald would be medievil in nature. Many would like to burn the fucker at the stake on the WH lawn and dance around the fire while he screams and roasts. :D

Trump's press secretary may have flashed his personal banking information while displaying the check of his quarterly salary donation

  • President Donald Trump's press secretary may have revealed his private bank account and routing numbers while displaying a check during a Friday press briefing, The New York Times reported.
  • Kayleigh McEnany was displaying a check that showed Trump's quarterly salary donations.
  • This time, the president donated $100,000 to the Department of Health and Human Services.

I couldn’t see the red “ insufficient funds “ stamped on it .

queu the locusts:

As many as 1.5 million cicadas per acre may emerge, and people living in Southwest Virginia, parts of North Carolina and West Virginia could witness this unique phenomenon, Virginia Tech says in a news release.

No. They're not particularly worried that 38 million Americans have filed for unemployment benefits in recent months. No. They're certainly not worried that tens of millions of people are facing hunger, eviction notices and the possibility of losing their homes in the midst of the economic collapse.

No. That's not what is bothering them. What troubles them deeply, to the very core of their greedy souls, is that workers who normally earn starvation wages of $9 or $10 an hour are now, in the midst of this crisis, actually receiving an income they can live on. That's because Congress, appropriately, expanded unemployment benefits by an additional $600 a week.

Republicans, correctly, see these expanded unemployment benefits as an unprecedented threat to an economy which thrives on low-wage labor — where half of our workers live paycheck to paycheck. Think about it. If workers get used to a decent income, how can employers bring them back to jobs that keep them living in poverty?

Here is the truth:

The issue is not whether people are receiving more income through their unemployment benefits. The problem is that in America today millions of people make starvation wages. It is past time to create a living wage in this country.

The expanded unemployment benefit passed under the previous bill is set to expire in July. That is why, right now, it is imperative that we come together to demand that the next emergency relief package includes this important benefit.

The emergency relief package that was passed a couple months ago provided the largest expansion of unemployment benefits in the history of this country. That was the right thing to do because that is what this unprecedented crisis calls for.

That bill, rightly so, said that in the middle of this terrible economic crisis, you will be able to receive unemployment compensation if you are a gig worker, an independent contractor, or a server — people who were previously not eligible for unemployment benefits. Plus the bill added another $600 per week on top of the benefits a person would receive under their state unemployment plan.

So that's what's got my Republican colleagues rather upset. They had no problem a couple years ago giving $1 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires and large profitable corporations. But when it comes to working class people in the midst of a horrific crisis, maybe having enough money to pay the bills and feed their families, Republicans want to tell those people they must continue struggling to get by.

How cruel is that? What kind of values system is that?

There are many things that must be done to address the economic and health crises created by the pandemic. But one thing we must not do is punish low-income workers who may get a few dollars more through their unemployment benefits than they otherwise might have received.

Since these are dystopian times I figured this short, simple historical review might provide some context for what is going on today. If you want to avoid a dystopian future, vote Trump and the republicans out and restore responsible government by adults. If Trump and the republicans get in again you will most certainly have a dystopian future and may well have death camps in it, Donald is capable of any depravity. He may well destroy the country before he is removed, perhaps he has not begun to really damage America and all that has gone on before is but a preview. He will most likely want to use nukes before he's done, if only for a distraction.

Interesting to see numbers after long weekend ..... Here in Los Angeles area , reports from last week reported over 800 calls to police over mass party clusters.

Fuck Trump to Hell ....
If that bothers you ....

Marijuana could regulate the main gateway COVID-19 enters host cells in patients, new research concludes........

6E75C9CF-BD34-470A-950B-E4E8DD794202.jpeg

A new study published in the journal Preprints, which is not peer-reviewed, finds certain marijuana strains could prevent the spread and severity of COVID-19. It’s all tied to how the coronavirus is transmitted between patients. Like most respiratory illnesses, tiny droplets carrying the disease expelled by coughing or sneezing go airborne. Once a non-infected patient inhales those droplets, it typically enters your body through cells in your lungs and corresponding tissue.

The scientific community has recently identified the ACE2 protein as the primary gateway the coronavirus infects patients. Researchers suspect modulating the level of proteins present in a patients could prevent susceptibility to the disease. In a study completed before the pandemic, researchers had observed the combination of THC and CBD cannabinoids could lower gene expressions that produce and regulate ACE2 proteins.


This made researchers from the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada curious. After all, it could mean cannabis might help prevent the coronavirus from infecting patients. The scientists corroborated the findings, though they were using cannabis oils on human cultures that contained ACE2 proteins.

Novel combinations of cannabinoids “may become a useful addition to the treatment of COVID-19,” the researchers wrote. “They may also be used to develop additional easy-to-use preventative strategies such as mouth wash and throat gargle products that may be tested for their potential to decrease viral entry via the oral cavity and may be used both in clinical practice and at-home treatment.”

According to the researchers, the most effective marijuana profiles to decrease ACE2 production were a 1:21 THC-to-CBD ratio oil and a 1:3 ratio oil. These disparate ratios caused scientists to conclude other cannabis properties could be playing a role in regulating reduced ACE2 activity. Israeli researchers recently identified cannabis terpenes as possible antiviral agents and have begun testing their effectiveness against the coronavirus.

“While our most efficacious extracts require further validation in a large-scale analysis and an animal model, our study is crucial for the future analysis of the effects of medical cannabis on COVID-19,” concluded the researchers. “Given the current dire and rapidly developing epidemiological situation, every possible therapeutic opportunity and avenue needs to be considered.”

It should be a popular article around here! Purest maybe critical though! Guess I'll go through it and perhaps repost it to drive foggy insane! :D

I believe @potroast has some expertise in this area, perhaps he would like to comment. I'm sure the forum will be delighted with this article, it is a pot forum and many here tout its benefits. I haven't had a look yet but will and might comment on it, though some might not like my opinion on it, this is a discussion forum for pot users and medical people, so its only proper to have a peek.
