    It's amazing! Apparently all murders and mayhem and strife the world over has stopped for the pandemic.. no reports of corruption (unless it is related to Covid 19) . Perhaps this virus is the best thing that ever happened to th eworld.. peace has broken out everywherere (sarc)

    First it was Russian Collusion, then the Impeachment, NOW! it's Coronavirus and that President Trump is to Blame for this Pandemic. Democrats NEVER! let a Good crisis go to waste to try and get someone with a D next to their name in the White House, NOTHING else matters right now.

    The real news is the report out on how lame the FBI have been vis a vis the FISA court, and the detail is stupefying. The report asserts that the FBI is batting zero in filing a request absent mistakes. Not one filing that didn't include errors. It's amazing in a bad way that those interested with the protection of our rights and freedoms are so callously abusing their trust by so obviously ignoring the process. When will the Nads get this investigated and properly sorted? .... like never...

    I so miss the normal news. I miss hearing Biden say silly things. And where the heck is Bernie Sanders anyway?

    Exactly.

    But, back to the OP, it is really amazing how nothing else in the News Cycle (apparently) doesn't even matter.

    What happened to the Barr Report? They hinted it would take until April to see it, it's April! Did see a bit of FISA report on their incredible # of violations.. er.. "mistakes". I figure that that, too, will be effected the wuhflu news and that report delayed.
    That said, Barr and crew are going to have to be sure to have allegations pinned down... or their careers and lives are over as they knew them, and it will still be denied; and them, the report, and anything else will be viciously attacked anyway.
    That's absent news. What else is happening that we aren't hearing?

    The Barr Report lead up has been a failure.

    The investigators are saying that there really was involvement of the Russians in the Trump campaign.

    Don't know about Chicago, but in LA crime is practically non-existent during this crisis.

    I forgot to mention though, we still have car chases. I think there have been three within the last three weeks (time is blurring). I mean, there was nobody on the freeways, so there's a lot of open road for once in the City of Angels. Who wouldn't want to hit the pedal to the metal, right?:cool:

    Where the heck is bloomberg & his billions to help out? I see stories about conservatives like the owner of the Pats sending the team plane to pickup 1,000,000 masks for MA hospitals, but not a damned thing about millionaire comrades like bernie doing anything but holding on tight to their almighty $. The left make me puke.gif .

    The perps were probably doing the actual speed limit, but since LA freeways are more akin to parking lots the cop just over reacted...

    Bloomberg and "his billion dollar, 6 electors" campaign?.. was that for real, is Bloomberg really that dumb, or did he just want to support a bunch of Leftist-saturated industries? I've seen figures that suggest Bloomberg still has $69 billion left.

    You beat the news media by a few days! And as you probably know, the Ds are forming another impeachment committee! Remember Pelosi using the term "after action report" the day before, then the Ds are already starting an investigation of the President's performance ... I just have few nice ways of saying what I think might be wrong with them....

    First, because he owns his business privately he prolly has more cash available to him than any other American including bezos, and he does nothing to help. He's a 1st class pig.
    Second, his campaign was serious only to the extent that it allowed him to run TDS ads to the tune of a billion-ish $ to help the cause. Because of his own narcissism & insecurities, he had made it clear prior to running that he intended to spend that kind of bux to defeat President Trump.

    I suspect your reply was purposely duplicitous. Lemme know is the asshat does ANYTHING for us.

    Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced on Tuesday, his charitable organization, Bloomberg Philanthropies will be donating $40 million to coronavirus-related causes.

    The former presidential candidate said the charity would be organizing a Coronavirus Global Response Initiative to ensure that low- and middle-income nations have rapid funding to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus in their countries with a focus on helping nations in Africa.
