Too early to break out the story that Hillary is going to be on the SCOTUS?

Thanx Don. We had the people, protocols, and materials in place to stop the virus but Trump just...

.... had to fire the people and get rid of all the other stuff because they were "the black guy's idea." The Trump virus,
all the sickness and death, and economic fall out is on Trump and those who supported him.

Over 21 million cases of coronavirus have been reported in the U.S—the highest tally in the world—and over 357,300 deaths of the over 1.87 million fatalities recorded worldwide so far.

There have been almost 86.5 million confirmed cases globally since the outbreak of coronavirus was first identified in Wuhan, a city located in China's central Hubei province, late in December 2019.

Ohio State COVID-19 outbreak: Will new cases postpone CFP championship game vs. Alabama?

Source: MSN

No. 1 Alabama and No. 3 Ohio State are scheduled to play in the College Football Playoff championship game on Jan. 11 at Hard Rock Stadium.

There is a possibility, however, that the game could be postponed until Jan. 18. AL.com reported the game could be pushed back to Jan. 18 because of player availability concerns with Ohio State.

Yahoo Sports’ Pete Thamel reported that, as of now, Ohio State is planning on playing the game Monday. Alabama, Ohio State and the SEC reportedly are all pushing for the game to be played, but Big Ten officials reportedly have raised concerned about the Buckeyes participating under the circumstances.

A total of 23 Ohio State players missed the Michigan State game on Dec. 5. The Buckeyes did not play against Michigan the following week. Head coach Ryan Day also tested positive for COVID-19 during the regular season.

It's been an ongoing roster battle for Ohio State this season in a state that ranks sixth in the United States in confirmed cases. AL.com reported “Ohio State has informed key parties involved it could be without a position group due to COVID-19 testing and related protocols.”

I know a football game is small potatoes compared to this pandemic but to me at least
they have been a diversion and at the same time gave me a little feeling of "the normal"
again.

Did I just wake up to a dream?

Woke up on to this new world.

The Dems will control the senate.

McConnell will no longer be the majority leader.

Biden will be certified as the winner today and he will be POTUS.

And the Scottish have told Trump to "piss off" as far going there in order to flee America.

Trump's Legacy: Have more people died from the Trump Virus or businesses gone under?

There have been more than 20.8 million cases reported across the country, according
to Johns Hopkins University, and there have been more than 353,000 people who have
died from the virus in the U.S..

NBC: May 15, 2020 From Friendly's to J. Crew, Main Street bankruptcies continue
The coronavirus has seemingly spared no one in its devastation of the U.S. economy, speeding up the demise of iconic department stores, gyms, and entertainment giants.

(BTW this list does not cover a nice little local restaurant in Clintonville (Columbus, OH) that had to close
because of the virus and that they would not borrow more money just to keep the doors open. God, how I
miss their breakfasts, coffee and just sitting outside and reading every other week. That was just one of who
knows how many restaurants that have been forced to close nationwide.)

Donald Trump's Aberdeenshire resort runs up losses for eighth consecutive year



Donald Trump’s inaugural Scottish golf resort has run up losses of more than £1.1 million, marking t
he eighth consecutive year the outgoing US president’s property has failed to turn a profit.

Newly published accounts lodged with Companies House show that Trump International Scotland in Aberdeenshire remains in the red, some 15 years after its incorporation.

The accounting period covers the 12 months to December 31, 2019 and does not reflect disruption to the business as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic.

In December, NatureScot, Scotland’s nature agency, announced the coastal dunes on which Mr Trump’s resort was partly built had lost their special protected status.

Scotland should seize the land back and restore the dunes. Trump promised thousands of job @ his golf course and
it has produced about 100 full time jobs 1/2 of which are as caddies.

New Year's Party @ Mierda Logo...Trump was a no show and the talent was Taylor Dayne and Vanilla Ice

The President of the United States was expected to host the event, but he decided to go back to Washington, D.C. just hours before the party was set to begin.

Many members of the Trump family and the president’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani did attend the party, which also featured Dayne and rapper Vanilla Ice.

“2020 kicking me in the balls again one last time with @taylordayne being a dirty sell out. Never could I have imagined,” Broadway actor Marty Thomas tweeted. Author Josh Sabarra replied with the crying face emoji, “And I had always been such a #TaylorDayne fan… ”


With many typos, Taylor tweeted, “I’m saddened by all this. I have a 30 yr careers s that many diverse friendships .and I try to stay non political and non judgmental and not preach . I sing from my heart purely and from Source. I wish for all to be who they need to be .. and find their way.”
