White House on accused shooter Kyle Rittenhouse: 'The president is not going to weigh in on that'
President LAW & ORDER seems pretty reticent when it comes to, er … wait, this can’t be right … a white 17-year-old who killed two people and injured another with an AR-15?

Trump's tele-rallies are as safe as going back to schoolrooms?
Trump believes that he can do tele-rallies (sic) but the Trump campaign has not ruled out holding in-person campaign rallies.

Trump held what was described as his “first ever…
When Trump has a “Hate” tab in a binder, his niece is going to “take precautions”

Trump, the superspreader, going to Oklahoma because chaos will re-elect him
There are now 119,000 deaths to date and 2.2 million cases of COVID-19 in the US.
