FaceBook is inundated with fake accounts in the past week (since "updating" to their new layout).

FaceBook recently sent out a notice that they are eliminating the old layout soon, and you must update.
The new layout, includes a panel that runs across the home page, with suggested "people you may know."
NONE of these people are real. It's painfully obvious. Okay wait, 50% aren't real, some of them are real accounts.

One I saw today had a banner under their picture pushing for Trump in 2020, and a background banner with Trump's ugly mug.
These are political ads, and FaceBook is plastering them in your "people you may know" area.

Pretty creepy stuff, FaceBook.

A standoff was underway at a Woodland Hills apartment complex following a reported shooting near a pro-Trump rally Sunday, according to police.

Officers were investigating a shots fired call that came in around 11:30 a.m. in the 20600 block of Ventura Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

A large caravan of cars in a pro-Trump rally were lined up on Ventura Boulevard when a woman who was not participating in the rally, driving past the rally, heard what sounded like gunshots and immediately noticed her tire was flat, the LAPD said.

Our country is being overthrown.

I will 100% vote in November, but...has anyone noticed: the GOP doesn't have any intention of obeying the laws?
NOTHING has been done regarding the laws that have been broken. Nothing! In fact, some people are being excused.
Putin is a bully, and he is using McConnell, Trump, and many others to ignore the U.S. laws and install his choice of governing.
Our House, any judges, lawyers, protesters, voters are of no use.

California has experienced 10,849 lightning strikes in the last 72 hours...

Trump will probably blame the lightning strikes on the Democratic party.

You gotta know the Trump regime is planning to plant many overtly fraudulent mail-in ballots...

to make the election look like a fraud.

Trump has the worst poker face of anyone I've ever seen.
When he begins spouting off about something over and over again, it means the GOPutin machine is working on creating said lie.
They used to be good at creating these lies because they would do it silently in the background; now Trump blasts it out over and over and over making it obvious what is about to happen.

9th Circuit Court Panel Ends California Ban On High-Capacity Magazines

Source: CBS San Francisco

SACRAMENTO (AP) — A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday threw out California’s ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines, saying the law violates the U.S. Constitution’s protection of the right to bear firearms.

“Even well-intentioned laws must pass constitutional muster,” Appellate Judge Kenneth Lee wrote for the panel’s majority. California’s ban on magazines holding more than 10 bullets “strikes at the core of the Second Amendment — the right to armed self-defense.”

He noted that California passed the law “in the wake of heart-wrenching and highly publicized mass shootings,” but said that isn’t enough to justify a ban whose scope “is so sweeping that half of all magazines in America are now unlawful to own in California.”

Regarding Appellate Judge Kenneth Lee (from Wikipedia):

On October 10, 2018, President Trump announced his intent to nominate Lee to serve as a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.[5] Both California Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris announced their opposition to his nomination.[9] On November 13, 2018, his nomination was sent to the Senate. President Trump nominated Lee to the seat vacated by Judge Stephen Reinhardt, who died on March 29, 2018.

Trump left the White House briefing for some urgent news.

This made me snicker. Not LOL, but snicker.

I know a lot is being said about Biden's VP pick today/tonight...

but I just want to add that I have NEVER felt so great about a VP pick!

Biden's choice of Harris is a huge charge to this election.

I'm looking forward to winning in November and getting our country back from the GOP thugs!

On edit...I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT BIDEN/HARRIS 2020!!!!

Does DU know they're running pro Trump ads?

I wasn't logged in on my phone, and was perusing the site: each large ad at the top of the page was in support of Trump for president.

Vaccine Expert Has A Grim Prediction Of What Coronavirus Will Do 'For Years And Years'

Source: Huffpost

Hotez, who has long rejected and contested the anti-vaccine movement, noted how Russian intelligence officers have reportedly been part of a disinformation campaign to sow doubt about vaccines in development for the virus.

Anti-science campaigners were fueling further deaths with their stances against social distancing and the wearing of face masks to mitigate its spread, Hotez argued.

He warned the White House will step up its attacks on scientists, as it did with Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who has countered the government’s narrative on the crisis.
