So, how would you go about prosecuting somebody facing the charge of perjury?
We all have a ready made defense,
"Oh sorry, I forgot"

As I get older, that phrase comes out of my mouth way too often.

I'm not a fan of the O'Bomber. I believe he is one of the worst things to happen to this country. That said, I believe this (Obamagate) is the first time he is being credited/accused of actually "doing" anything instead of just being a mouthpiece for TPTB.

The Mueller investigation was just a illegal fishing trip for the fbi. The fact that they got nothing on Trump while doing a full fishing trip is crazy.

o reopen, Washington state restaurants will have to keep log of customers to aid in contact tracing

May 11, 2020 at 9:47 pm Updated May 12, 2020 at 5:59 pmWith eight Washington counties now approved to move to Phase 2 under Gov. Jay Inslee’s four-phase plan to reopen the state, the governor’s office on Monday released a set of requirements restaurants will have to comply with if they want to reopen for dine-in service.

Stevens, Wahkiakum, Skamania, Ferry, Pend Oreille, Columbia, Garfield and Lincoln counties have all been cleared for Phase 2, which allows restaurants to reopen at 50% capacity, and caps table sizes at five.

Notably, the 13 criteria that restaurants will have to adhere to in order to reopen for dine-in service includes a stipulation that they “create a daily log of customers and maintain that daily log for 30 days, including telephone/email contact information, and time in.”

This is to aid in any contact tracing, should that become necessary.

Why is Obama Panicking Now? – The Importance of Understanding Political Surveillance In The Era of President Obama…



If you wait to hear about Obamagate from a "credible new source" such as CNN or ABC, don't hold your breath, they spent 8 years sucking his dick and helping spread the Russia narrative, they aren't going to come out and admit they were part of the problem without some coercion. Just shut the **** up and read what some of the "crazy alt right sites" are saying, MSM don't want anything to do with this yet.

‘Obamagate’ Isn’t A Conspiracy Theory, It’s The Biggest Political Scandal Of Our Time...

"When former president Barack Obama told supporters last week that the Justice Department’s decision to drop the case against former White House National Security Adviser Mike Flynn is a “threat to the rule of law,” he was relying wholly on the fiction, willingly propagated for years by a pliant media, that the Russia-Trump collusion probe launched by his administration was lawful and legitimate.

But of course it wasn’t. A string of recently released documents have confirmed that the entire Russia-Trump investigation, which eventually entrapped Flynn and forced then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to recuse himself, was an unprecedented abuse of power that amounted to organized effort by the Obama administration to nullify the results of the 2016 presidential election. It was in effect an attempted coup."

liberals have been taking away our rights since the beginning of the ideology. This was just an easy excuse.

“Huge: Former VP Joe Biden, former FBI Dir. James Comey, former CIA Dir. John Brennan, former DNI James Clapper and Obama Chief of Staff were all involved in the political takedown of @GenFlynn and spied on @realDonaldTrump’s team.“

Antibody testing shows coronavirus present in Ohio in January, a month before previously thought


Health officials in Ohio said new antibody testing shows the coronavirus has been in the state since January.

Data released by the Ohio Health Department reveal that six people in the state reported feeling ill as early as Jan. 7, contradicting the previously believed narrative that the virus didn’t show up until February, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

At least two of the patients traveled outside the state, but it is unknown whether that was a factor in contracting the infection.

Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton said Ohio will begin voluntary antibody testing next week, which will test at least 1,200 people, according to Fox 8 News.

“They are volunteering to help us learn more about this disease. Many of whom may not know they’ve already had it,” Acton said. “We’re very excited about this.”

Antibody testing across the country has revealed that the virus was in the United States earlier than previously thought and infected more people than previously thought.

Random sampling in Florida's Miami-Dade County in late April showed that the number of infected people in the region could be at least 16 times higher than previously believed.

Similar testing in California’s Santa Clara County showed that the infection is 50 to 85 times more common than previously thought and that the fatality rate is 50 to 80 times lower.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said in a Monday press conference that 90% of the state’s economy is expected to open this week.
see, second wave.

I find it odd that fast food chains, big box stores, and the like, have installed plastic partitions to protect their cashiers from the general public yet Bank of America has closed their lobby tellers which already have such measures in place.

So since I have to withdraw a somewhat large amount of cash I get to wait at the drive through teller line for 30 minutes to listen to the teller which sounds like the adults in Charlie Brown movies over the telecom. I somehow figured out she was trying to tell me that she had sent a pin to my cell phone via text and to let her have it so I may retrieve my cash. Well TMobile has some goofy quirk with Bank of America where texts from them are blocked. So the teller gets her manager whom also sounds like a Peanuts adult to tell me something which I finally figure out to mean: come into the lobby.

Please forgive me for sharing my first world pandemic problems.

I have been seeing AOC in the media more over the past week or so, compared to the last six months. Wonder if that has anything to do with her being up for reelection this year?

For the above, what knowledge does Greta Thunberg have of the coronavirus in order to contribute anything of value to the conversation?
