Ok I want to learn something today. How is it that those guys who walk around carrying or have a rifle strapped to their chest not get at least cited for brandishing or carrying a weapon in a threatening manner? Going to a government building or the residence of a state governor and having a bunch of rifles is certainly not a lawful use of a firearm. At least in my uninformed opinion.

Iran successfully test fired a new anti ship missile and sunk a ship.


https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-52612511

quote:


An Iranian navy "friendly fire" incident in which a ship was sunk has killed dozens of sailors, unofficial reports say.

Local journalists said the frigate Jamaran was testing a new anti-ship missile which locked onto and hit Konarak, a logistical ship.

Semi-official Iranian news agency Fars said one sailor was killed and several others injured in a "naval exercise".

It described the incident on Sunday near the Strait of Hormuz as a "crash"

I mean poo poo, I spent weeks to months with zero outside world contact - no phone, no internet, no tv, no game consoles, and no gym. At the very most someone 'might' be able to send a 14 word or so censored message to me, and if it was about a close family member dying it would most likely be held back till we went into port.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/16/politics/uss-theodore-roosevelt-sailors-coronavirus/index.html


quote:

Eight additional sailors aboard the coronavirus-stricken carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt have now tested positive for the virus according to a defense official.
These eight sailors had previously tested positive and were removed from the ship in order to self-quarantine. They had all tested negative twice before being allowed back on board before this latest incident of testing positive again for the virus.
This latest development is in addition to five other sailors aboard the ship that CNN reported earlier this week who had also again tested positive after being thought to be clear of the virus.
The carrier is heavily screening crew members for reports of symptoms. Some of the now 13 sailors who have retested positive in fact had reportedd symptoms to the medical crew, the official said.

Politico was the first to report on the eight additional sailors.
The official said it is not clear if sailors have somehow been re-infected or if very low levels of the virus have remained in their bodies and testing had not caught it.

More than 1,000 of the aircraft carrier's nearly 4,900-member crew had tested positive for coronavirus following an outbreak aboard the ship.
After evacuating some 4,000 sailors from the ship to Guam, the Navy had been retuning sailors to the ship following a period of quarantine and isolation in the hopes of getting the aircraft carrier to sea as soon as possible.

In my experience it was 90% yelled about for ships qual (because you're a drat nub till you're ships qualled even if you're qualified reactor tech or advanced sonar operator first!) and 10% for other quals.

the american officer that was a liason to KMT china (what became Taiwan) described them as fascism without the efficiency. The KMT is still the dominant political party and they have the largest wealth fund of any political party taking population into account. They own the banks, radio stations etc there. Imagine fox news but instead of merely working to support right wing causes was directly controlled by the republican party

They didn't even have elections until 91 iirc. It really is an example of the failure of american foreign policy where we find someone we don't like and then support their enemy no matter how loving awful that entity is.

Also when they fled china to the island they massacred a shitload of the locals

The BBC has nailed this headline.

Nancy Pelosi accused of fat-shaming 'obese' Trump

https://www.bbc.com/news/52733199

BBC :smug: posted:

Top US Democrat Nancy Pelosi has been accused of fat-shaming President Donald Trump after she called him "morbidly obese".

Mrs Pelosi cited Mr Trump's "weight group" when asked about his disclosure that he is taking hydroxychloroquine to guard against Covid-19.

There is no evidence the drug can ward off the virus, and experts have cautioned it may cause heart problems.

Critics said Mrs Pelosi's "fat-phobic" response distracted from such concerns.

The World Health Organization has called attention to reports of individuals self-medicating and causing themselves serious harm with hydroxychloroquine, which Mr Trump has repeatedly touted as a potential Covid-19 treatment.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, the 73-year-old president said he had started taking the malaria and lupus medication in the past fortnight.

How Trump talks about women - and does it matter?
Trump trades barbs on mental stability
Trump says he is taking unproven drug for coronavirus

"I happen to be taking it," Mr Trump said. "If it's not good, I'll tell you right, I'm not going to get hurt by it."

Asked on Monday night by CNN about Mr Trump's remarks, Mrs Pelosi said she would "rather he [Mr Trump] not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists".

"Especially in his age group, and in his, shall we say, weight group, morbidly obese, they say," the US House of Representatives speaker said.

But failed with delivery.

I've only been out twice since before the lockdown started here and I've only gone to 2 stores. A Safeway and a Total Wine. Total Wine has 'you must wear mask' and a great big plexiglass to keep the customer and cashier separated, and they no longer allow customer owned bags.

Safeway has a small plexiglass that really does not do much, floor stickers to attempt to get people to go one way down an isle (not enforced).


The only food store that I know of nearby that had known covid cases from employees was a Whole Foods near the beginning of this and they tried to cover it up.

Republicans hate people being able to vote.


https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/24/politics/republican-national-committee-california-vote-by-mail-lawsuit/index.html

cnn posted:

The Republican National Committee and other Republican groups have filed a lawsuit against California to stop the state from mailing absentee ballots to all voters ahead of the 2020 general election, a move that was made in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

On Friday the state governor said all registered voters would get a ballot by mail.

I bet the GOP is really hoping this gets pushed up the the SC level.
