Is Trump getting desperate? Item: "Trump says path to citizenship for DACA 'Dreamers' in the works" Item: "Donald Trump wears a mask in public for the first time during Covid-19 pandemic"

A claim that the president has absolute immunity from subponea compliance is a claim that the president is above the law. The court refuted that claim.

It's a loss. Trump did not work his way through district, appellate and the Supreme Court to argue for a delay in complying with subpoenas. He argued for immunity from complying with subpoenas. The court ruled against him. He lost. That part confirms no man is above the law. It is a legal...

I would expect the IRS has most certainly seen Trump's tax returns but that has nothing to do with today's Supreme Court ruling. The tax returns are being sought as part of a grand jury investigation. Trump did not want them released and fought the subpoena in court, all the way to the Supreme...

Today, July 9, 2020, the Supreme Court ruled on the Trump tax cases it agreed to take. Trump lost. One of the consequences of the ruling is the records Trump tried to keep out of the hands of the New York prosecutor will soon be in that prosecutor's hands. Of greater consequence to the...

This phenomenon is seen in Republican-friendly news outlets too, is it not? I'd love to figure out a way to refocus media attention on their stated ethics.

Mind reading is not just a media flaw. We voters are susceptible to it too. There are many examples of it in this open fourm. One participant will say to the other something like "you say that because you believe..." It is common to say '[Enter Politician's Name of Choice] is did that because he...

While there is some smoke but no fire yet visible, I'm disinclined to believe this NY Times story. Like so many others, it is based on unnamed sources said to be reliable. I dislike that approach. It requires us to trust the story without knowing what people or facts are actually behind it...

This is not a point about Trump or Biden, but about the presence or absence of money in campaigns and its effect. A few months ago in this thread, some people were talking about how much money Trump was raising compared to the then large number of Democratic candidates. I said that difference...

I want to add something about the early good news coming out of Minneapolis (see post above). While the early test results are encouraging, it's important to note that the infection curve is exponential. While the incubation period us up to two weeks, it takes additional time for the virus to...

We've learned a lot more than that, Turtle, and you know it. The coronavirus is a real thing that affects expediters and all other businesses of all types. Every one of us has to operate in a world in which the coronavirus is now a front-and-center feature. We're all learning as we go, obtaining...

I have come to put little stock in COVID-19 projections as they are often wide of the mark. Early on, hundreds of thousands of deaths were forecast for Florida. We've had deaths but not anywhere close to those numbers. No shortage of hospital beds, ICU beds or ventilators developed. So when the...

How do you know that? What indicator(s)?

One event does not a trend make, but the 6/20/20 Trump rally in Tulsa presents some interesting numbers; the likes of which have never been seen at Trump rallies, which are usually, if not always, filled to overflowing with enthusiastic Trump supporters. While numerous explanations are offered...

Interested to know what has changed since this article was first published.

The FL governor closed all gyms on 3/20. On 4/1, he issued his "Safer At Home" order which restricts everyone to staying at home for 30 days. There are exceptions for essential activities and services. The list is quite broad (healthcare workers, first res ponders, financial services people...

That is correct. By order of the governor, our gym was closed Friday afternoon. On Saturday, normally a busy shopping day, our strip mall parking lot was empty. While many of our neighboring businesses were not required to close, most did, because nobody was coming.

As former expediters, now retail business owners (gym), Diane and I are looking to EO to get a better sense of the true state of things. We realize we're in the midst of rapidly developing and rapidly changing pandemic situation. Still, the state of freight has always been a good economic...

Shortly after Trump was inaugurated, I predicted -- correctly -- that he would be impeached. I also predicted -- incorrectly -- that he would be convicted by the Republicans who had the power to remove him for office. With the benefit of hindsight, I misjudged the Republicans, I believed --...
