If it's a means to re-election, your life and your health don't matter. CBS' 60 Minutes opened its Sunday show (5/10/20) with a whopper story. This is a scandal that everyone in America deserves to know about. It's a classic Trump operation. This president is a danger to all Americans. Watch the 60 Minutes Segment here: https://www.cbsnews.com/video/coronavirus-vaccine-politics-scientific-community-60-minutes-2020-05-10/ Read the article here: Trump administration cuts funding for coronavirus researcher, jeopardizing possible COVID-19 cure In the medical research community, Dr. Peter Daszak is a well-known expert on disease ecology. For many years, his research work was partly funded by the NIH. In a 2003 interview with 60 Minutes, while doing work on SARS, Daszak warned that a pandemic was coming. Trump is hell-bent on controlling the political narrative surrounding COVID-19, and he wants to point the finger of blame at China, specifically claiming that COVID is a Chinese lab experiment gone wrong. Trump has Congress asshole Matt Gaetz, Tucker Carlson, and FOX News helping to spread FAKE NEWS. Dr. Peter Daszak revealed the truth on Sunday's 60 Minutes episode. Soon after Daszak went public with the truth, the NIH ended their funding of Daszak's lab. As far as I know, Daszak's lab is the only research lab that has direct, authorized communication with research labs in China. This is a serious mess with far reaching ramifications for all of us. I suspect we will be hearing more about this story now that details are being exposed. Educate yourself and see what Trump is doing to fuck with our lives. Be sure to watch the 60 Minutes Segment on Dr. Daszak. TRUMP HAS TO GO!

The Republican answer to every single fucking problem: It's the Black man's fault. Specifically: BARACK OBAMA GIVE US A FUCKING BREAK! "With more than 80,000 Americans dead from the coronavirus, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Trump are trying to deflect blame to former President Barack Obama." These FUCKERS are SPINELESS. And they're RUTHLESS. I hope Democrats are ready for the ugliest election in our lifetimes. “We literally left them a 69-page Pandemic Playbook.... that they ignored,” tweeted Ron Klain, who oversaw the Ebola response under Obama and now advises presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. “And an office called the Pandemic Preparedness Office... that they abolished. And a global monitoring system called PREDICT .. that they cut by 75%.” McConnell puts blame for 2020 coronavirus failure on Barack Obama, in office 2009-2017

Agree. Even Rehnquist decided a little centricity rather than his own former extreme rightism was what a Chief properly owed the fair dispensation of sound jurisprudence, and laying down of reasonable precedence. And keeping whole the publicly perceived independent authority of the Court.

Roberts voted to keep the Affordable Care Act.

From MSN As Thailand's tourist economy suffers a near-total shutdown from travel restrictions due to the new coronavirus, employees in the industry have been forced to improvise to make ends meet. Air purser Kosit Rattanasopon, 37, has traded in his cabin crew uniform for a delivery driver's jacket, stylishly ferrying food around Bangkok on his Ducati motorbike since the Thai airline he works for grounded all flights. Kosit makes about 1,000 baht ($31.13) per day, just enough to support his father and sister, who also cook boxed meals to sell online. "I know things will not be the same again for at least another year, so I will have to keep doing this," he said. Tourism accounted for 11 percent of Thailand's GDP last year, and border closures and travel restrictions to prevent its spread are expected to decimate the industry for months to come. Those who have new jobs are among the fortunate. Some 4 million Thais work in the tourism sector, and most face a year or more of lost income until a vaccine or new coronavirus treatment allows travel to return to previous levels. Another grounded airline worker, stewardess Thawanan Thawornphatworakul, has transformed her living room into a hair salon. She averages two to three clients per day and charges 150 baht ($4.67) per cut. Thawanan, 36, said her income is nowhere near her airline salary, but it helps. "The income here helps with some expenses and pays the bills," she said. Scuba diving instructor Sermsak Posayajinda, 47, has also found a new income source, making jars of chili paste from his mother's recipes and selling them online. "At first it was only a hobby during COVID-19 period, but the results have been very good, so this will become a business for us in the long term," Sermsak said. Closure of hotels and exhibition centres also disrupted the business of Asaree Jarugosol, 36, who rents out chairs and builds stages for hotels and caterers around Bangkok. Asaree decided to retain all her staff by transforming her warehouse into a factory that makes 2,500 reusable face masks per day, first for local hospitals and now for exporting overseas as worldwide demand surges. "At first we only have one sewing machine operated by one staff ... but now we have some 40 people working a proper production line," Asaree said.

There were no new infections of coronavirus disease (Covid-19) reported in Thailand on Wednesday, for the first time since the pandemic began to spread here, and no new deaths. Safe distancing is the norm, as people queue to receive assistance packages at Wat Rakhang Khositaram in Bangkok on Wednesday morning, when the government announced there were no new Covid-19 cases over the previous 24 hours. (Photo: Chanat Katanyu) There were no new infections of coronavirus disease (Covid-19) reported in Thailand on Wednesday, for the first time since the pandemic began to spread here, and no new deaths. Dr Taweesilp Visanuyothin, spokesman for the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, said on Wednesday morning that the total number of cases remained at 3,017 and the death toll at 56. "I am happy, along with everyone who has contributed to disease control... We have been doing better since the reopening of business started on May 3," he said. Since May 3, the number of new Covid-19 cases reported daily had been in single figures, except for 18 found among quarantined migrants in Songkhla province on May 4, he said, and quickly explained the discrepancy. "Actually May 4 was the first day when Thailand did not have a new case of local infection because the 18 cases found on that day came from quarantine facilities. The no-case announcement today makes the zero-case status official," Dr Taweesilp said. He encouraged people to keep taking disease control precautions, mainly through hand washing, using face masks, social distancing and cleaning, to maintain the zero-case situation. "We can relax, but cannot be reckless... Please keep to the new-normal practices. Finally, we may be among the first countries able to end the hardship brought by this disease," he said. Dr Taweesilp said that zero new cases did not come from any leniency in attempts to find infected people. He said that from May 1 health officials had expanded criteria for Covid-19 tests on people, to cover those with mild symptoms. This month 34,444 people had been tested and only 0.18% of them were positive for Covid-19, he said. Over the previous 24 hours, 46 more patients had been deemed recovered and discharged, raising the total recovery cases to 2,844, while 117 patients remained at hospitals. Dr Taweesilp said global Covid-19 cases stood at 4.34 million with 292,893 deaths. The United States had the most cases at 1.41 million and the most deaths at 83,425. Source : Bangkok Post

Does anyone really think that the Supreme Court will order Trump to reveal his tax returns? I don't have a glimmer of hope on that. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/12/us-supreme-court-trump-tax-returns

To be fair, Tucker Carlson has repeatedly been voted #1 for stupidest and most punch-able face.

Thanks for catching this. It was my error, not website's.

The news is good, but the headline is wrong, Remdesivir is not a vaccine, and there is no discussion about a vaccine to be provided in the article at all. Does CNBC not understand the difference one wonders? Hardly possible nowadays.... Sloppy journalism. ok ok, * nerdy hairsplitter mode off *

I think that Jake Picking has the cutest nipples. He is 6 feet tall, and Hudson was 6"4! How could they use such a short actor for such a towering role? Oh well, it worked for me.

Interestingly, Jerry Stiller was only 5'5".

Thus the porn sites are super busy!

I believe Trump is on shaky ground with Chief Justice Roberts.

Hope to be close on your winged heels...

Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller always made me laugh. They were always funny, even off camera. Their son, Ben, was a cutie when he was younger.

And BO would put in a whole second working day from 7:30 pm to like 1am, going up to his study on the 2nd floor of the residential wing — with “a cup of exactly 7 lightly salted almonds,” Michelle laughed in a TV interview — and read briefing papers, research articles about current Important Stuff, and relevant books. When was the last time we ever had evidence that DJT ever read a word in print?

HUNKY HEROS These three Marines helped restrain an unruly passenger on a flight from Japan to Dallas. I know that I would have listened to them. https://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/ny-three-marines-restrain-disruptive-passenger-japan-flight-20200506-nenvr6g6y5euvm6e7zwtc7jce4-story.html

Funny, but true story The website boytoy.com has a section on Latest Escort Reviews. Steven Kesslar is portrayed standing at attention while laying down. but the funny part is that this "latest" review is ten years old! Now that's surviving! The review is by a popular poster extolling Kesslar's virtues, unaware of how time would change their relationship. Maybe reviews should have an expiration date!
