State of the Union - pre/post election & whatever...

Regarding Floyd being a “career criminal”, his rap sheet is less impressive, in terms of violence, than that of the cop who killed him. Except for one case, it is really penny-ante drugs and theft. And the one case that isn’t... well, let’s put it this way: if Floyd had anything of the type of representation Chauvin’s going to get, I very much doubt he’d’ve ever spent a day in jail.

You can read the histories of the two men here and decide for yourself:

Ah, Snopes.
Who fact checks the fact checkers?

They are certainly better than an anonymous voice on the internet because, in fact, they are constantly being group-checked by the entire internet, not the least politically extremist trolls.

I understand. They are impeccable and beyond reproach. Just like the New York Times.
No bias one way or the other.
Got it.

John Lewis died for me when they started offering concessions.
Something Harvey Nichols would never do.

How I know Trump is in trouble, he is running TV ads in Oklahoma right now. If he has to spend money on ads here how badly is he doing in the swing states?

To the "Hillary wouldn't do it" list, I'll add disbanding the pandemic response team.

Someone in the White House must have decided playing golf right after John Lewis died wasn't the best look, hence a belated tweet.

Trying to determine who writes his tweets is a fun game. Misspellings are usually a giveaway, as is the use of multisyllabic words. Poor grammar is another, although confusion over objective/subjective cases among his aides wouldn't surprise me.

A tossup this time.
