I love yellow journalism.
I'm anxiously waiting for the documentary on Antifa and BLM. You know, the people who have literally been burning down our cities for the last 4 months...
Oh no, we must do another documentary on white supremacists. All 200 of them. Who have condemned. By everyone. Including the President (I'm looking at you, Joe...).
These people want us to look at the white supremacists, instead of allowing us to look and ask questions about the Leftists who are still looting, rioting and burning down cities. These people have the support of the Democrats. But they don't want us to know the truth about these groups.

Huh???
I don't understand how the mainstream media is allowing the Democrats to get away with simultaneously holding the positions that it's President Trump's fault families are economically suffering, while also advocating for country-wide lockdowns that perpetuate this suffering.
The Republicans are the ones that have tried to pass COVID relief bills in Congress, yet the Democrats, with the help of the media, are claiming they are the ones trying to help Americans.
How does this make any sense? If our mainstream media outlets were honest they would highlight all the lies and inconsistencies from the Democrats. But they don't because they ARE Democrats.
Also, President Trump isn't at fault for any of these things listed by Joe. State Governors and mayors have implemented these restrictions and lockdowns, not the President. If you have an issue with the way some states have handled the China Virus, take it up with them, Joe.

Documentary films about the pro-communist movement in America, including its various manifestations in BLM, Antifa, Social Justice, etc., will happen, but I don't expect to see them start popping up on Netflix this year. The situation is still far too dynamic, too poorly understood, and too relevant.
Meanwhile, real estate prices in Boundary County, Idaho are still pretty reasonable.

Harris county has seen 149,000 cases of Covid and 2647 deaths. If we use the CDC's claim that only 6% of report covid deaths are actually from covid, it's down to 159 death.
that's 159 deaths out of 4.713 million people since Jan/Feb.
or 0.00003373647% of the population.
When I search, there are 122 early voting locations in Harris County alone, many are drive-thru. source: https://www.harrisvotes.com/WaitTimes
there are normally 805 locations on voting day.
Every county only has one drop-off location, or your ******* mailbox, or one of the 43 USPS locations within the 10 mile radius [not even counting FEDEX, or UPS]. source https://tools.usps.com/find-location.htm
