How did Don the criminally negligent Con manage to force the media to remove the virus from the lead story - in three days - from the announcement of the 100,000 deaths to the killing of George Floyd and now this level of violence?
One of my relatives thinks this is way more sinister than just madness

That will tell us a lot of what's going on in this country!

(38,445 posts)...The killer, "Death" has taken some time out from the "Virus Show." Because of intense "stupidity" he will be back with a vengeance. Trump doesn't have a clue, and he has never had a clue. Those reopening too quickly haven't got a clue either. Those governors are actually stupider than Trump. They should know better and listen better. We will all see in the end. No one knows when this will be .."OVER"

(269,157 posts)Dear friends,
These are the last words of George Floyd, a 46-year-old man who died as a US police officer pinned him down, kneeling on his neck for seven minutes, until he suffocated:
"It's my face man
I didn't do nothing serious man
please
please
please I can't breathe
please man
please somebody
please man
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
please
(inaudible)
man can't breathe, my face
just get up
I can't breathe
please (inaudible)
I can't breathe sh*t
I will
I can't move
mama
mama
I can't
my knee
my nuts
I'm through
I'm through
I'm claustrophobic
my stomach hurt
my neck hurts
everything hurts
some water or something
please
please
I can't breathe officer
don't kill me
they gon' kill me man
come on man
I cannot breathe
I cannot breathe
they gon' kill me
they gon' kill me
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
please sir
please
please
please I can't breathe"
Then his eyes shut and the pleas stop. George Floyd was pronounced dead shortly after.
