Yesterday the Republican controlled Senate recessed without passing any covid relief legislation.

Unemployed people in California will not get the extra $600 on top of their weekly state unemployment benefits.

I was on unemployment one summer in 1983 or 1984 back when California's maximum UI benefit was IIRC $451 a week.

My understanding is that California's UI top benefit today is close to what it was 37 years ago when I received it for around two or three months when I was in my 20's.

Back on May 15th the Democratic controlled House of Representatives passed the Heroes Act that would have provided the extended Covid relief that the Senate could not get their act together for this week, before adjourning.

Senate leader Mitch McConnell would not allow the Heroes Act to come up for a vote or even discussion in the Senate.

Yesterday Mitch McConnell said that between 15 to 20 senate Republicans would not vote for and coronavirus relief bill.

Senate leader Mitch McConnell essentially refused to allow 48 Democrats and around 35 Republicans see if 51 of them could agree to prevent unnecessary hardship to fall on 32 million Americans currently collecting unemployment.

Herman Cain was diagnosed with COVID-19 on June 29,2020 and admitted to an Atlanta-area hospital on July 1. His staff on July 2 said that he was "awake and alert. " Four weeks later, he was still hospitalized and being treated with oxygen. Cain died of complications of COVID-19 on July 30,2020.

Cain had attended a Trump rally in Tulsa on June 20 without wearing a mask or socially distancing. On the day he was hospitalized, Cain praised South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem for not requiring masks at an upcoming Trump campaign event, tweeting "Masks will not be mandatory for the event, which will be attended by President Trump. People are fed up!

Instead of being 'fed up', Herman now is likely just 'iced up' in some morgue in Atlanta.

Once one of the most popular governors in the country, Ron DeSantis is losing his standing among Florida voters as the state's coronavirus outbreak reaches new, alarming levels.

DeSantis, among several Republican governors who pushed in May to quickly reopen their states from pandemic-driven lockdowns, has seen his approval rating dip as Florida experiences one of the worst outbreaks in the country. On Thursday, as the Florida Department of Health reported a state record 173 COVID-19 deaths, a new poll released by Quinnipiac University put DeSantis' favorability rating at a new low, with 41% of voters approving of his job performance and 52% disapproving.

The numbers reflect a 31-point drop in DeSantis' approval rating from a poll the university conducted in late April.

The coronavirus is beating down the black community, the brown community, and the stupid, cowardly, largest portion of the republican party.

It took 99 days from the first diagnosed case of coronavirus until the United States had confirmed one million cases.

It was only 43 more days for another million cases, which got the confirmed cases number up to two million.

The three million case count was reached in another 28 days.

And just 15 days was needed to get to four million, today.

If the number of confirmed cases in the states continue to double every 43 days, we will get to eight million confirmed cases by September 3rd (just before labor day weekend).

And 16 million by mid-October.

And maybe greater than 20 million confirmed infected Americans by election day, Tuesday, November 3rd?

Probably not when mask use increases. Currently we have masks required when in public in 31 states.

That's a pretty lazy response. Can you not do any better?

On May 18th, in this thread, Crypton wrote this:

I am sorry. But this is the worst idea ever for a forum on a mongering site. I come here to get away from "American Politics" and enjoy, albeit vicariously, other peoples adventures in this time of containment. Read the first page. Carry on! .

So on May 18th I replied with this:

If you don't want to read this material.

Then read the other threads and don't read this one.

There are over 1,600 other threads on this website. Why don't you instead read those threads? It's been more than five months since you contributed any other writings on this website other than these two posts above.

You think I'm lazy, and want a better response? How about this one:

Then why would you continue to click on and read through an opinion thread titled "American Politics"?

[Crypton]

Then why would you clicking on and read through an opinion thread titled "American Politics"?

You must be a very 'special' thinking person.

That's a pretty lazy response. Can you not do any better?

I am against racism and I support protests. However, if these protests cause a 2nd wave of COVID19, which then causes another shutdown and causes the USA Markets to crash again, then I may lose my mind.

I don't support these protests unless social distancing and masks are used. When the looting starts, bring in the National Guard and stop it. Does anybody know if prostitution is legal in Chaz?

The Game: How the 1% control the other 99%, while becoming rich and powerful.

1. Make them "want" needless things.

2. Make them work long, hard for these needless things. (Be careful about the successful entrepreneurs because they are catching on to the game).

3. Mask 1 & 2 by calling it a "booming economy."

So when the looting happens with needless things. It's okay. They will eventually pay it all back with more work, longer, and harder. All the 1% have to do is go back to #1. Make them want "new" needless things or raise the price on them. Good examples are bottled water in the USA or that "new" designer purse or that "older" antique watch. Now you know the meaning in "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. " The devil will make you work.

Hahahaha.

And you claim to be a medical field executive with a non-medical advanced degree?

Hahahaha.

There is no opinion, no perspective, no bias in the above statement. Those are just facts (not even my own) coming from yeah, somebody with an MBA in Global Business and was also a "healthcare worker and administrator at a very high level." And yes, there are skewed numbers when it comes to patients deaths. How do I know? I have myself ordered them changed, government officials have told us, physicians I work with have changed them, and the rest of entire hospital system have all reported chart data according to how we want or the best way to get funding for us to stay in operation. It works the same as when business owners who file their taxes and look for loopholes. We will take advantage of the system when we can to get paid. We do what we have to do and what we can get away with, if not more.

This is hysterical.

You obviously don't have a dime in your purse nor have you met a 1% 'er so how would you know how things operate? It is ignorance like this which engenders the rise of hate which is EXACTLY what people are protesting about.

I will agree though that poverty breeds anger, hate, and YES racism, even cannibalistic urges to harm your own kind ie. black on black crime but if you think you are YOU simply because a 1% type class exists then public education failed you miserably.

The 1% help you to wipe your ass and put food in your mouth in more ways than you can imagine. Whether for tax benefits or just pure ego bliss IT STILL GETS TO THOSE WHO NEED IT. Philanthropists contribute a huge amount of money to human causes that would otherwise never have the ability to operate.

But then again these days Chem trails, George Orwell, Illumanati, and Narcissism dominate more than common sense.

Eh, you probably don't want to use that word.

Oh geeze, here we go. We got one of those word litigators up in here.

Seems like 2 Alpha Males working security at the same bar. Lots of competition prior to this event. One of the guys becomes a cop and low and behold he gets called to his old job site where his competitor is still working. Low self esteem mixed with onlookers causes a ruckus and cops want to show who is boss.

Skin color or fragile egos cause disturbance? I go with fragile egos and competition over skin color anyway. That is way more threatening than skin color could ever be.
