President Biden's 90/90 vaccine plan:

• 90% of adults will be eligible for a vaccination by April 19.
• 90% of all Americans will be living within five miles of a place they can get a shot.

This seems pretty realistic from my experience. My state got double the number of vaccine doses from the CDC this week compared to last week, and we'd already been bringing the eligibility dates forward.

Parallel universe.

Donald Trump uses new website to rewrite history of his presidency.
Narrative omits two impeachments, economic crash, Covid death toll and riot that marked end of his term.

In a hyperbolic opening paragraph, it says he dethroned political dynasties, defeated “the Washington establishment”

Presumably that means that he won't support any sons, daughters, DILs or SILs to follow in his footsteps or capitalise on the family name

Aye right

'Visitors to Donald Trump’s new website can book the former president and his wife, Melania Trump, for personal appearances and greetings.'

'Visitors to Donald Trump’s new website can book the former president and his wife, Melania Trump, for personal appearances and greetings.'

I really hope the internet gets creative with this.

Personally I'd like to see him recording a message of congratulations to Joe Biden.

I have every confidence that it could be worded so he - and his ghastly cabal of spineless acolytes - never realised it.

Who remembers Brass Eye, and the celebrity warnings about "cake" ?

I was thinking we should do a whip round or maybe crowd-fund.

Gosh.
His new website.

His new website also offers personalized greetings. Unlike celebrities including former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who signed up with Cameo, a website which sells greetings and messages from celebrities, Trump’s website does not say he is charging for the service – or for scheduled personal appearances.

Trump’s staff does seem to be attempting to filter out any embarrassing or pranking requests. Last year, for example, a comedian paid Lewandowski to congratulate a fictional small child for “using the big boy toilet” and “doing a great job with your poopies”.

😂🤣

I haven't clicked on his website, I just had lunch. But I'd put the 'veracity level' somewhere in the same neighbourhood as Scientology's, sight unseen. Too bad they don't need to meet the 'truth in advertising' laws.

We've been watching the Chauvin trial off and on. The videos are heartbreaking. Hearing a grown man calling for his mother like that just tears at you.

I have been watching bits too. Across

I am finding it even more upsetting to see it now. It just is heartbreaking. Well done on the bravery of the young witnesses, one was only 14 when it happened and is giving evidence.

To see the Police Officer nonchalently with his hand in his pocket whilst kneeling on him just got to me

Me too. His expression is like "What? What's the problem?". Such arrogance in his supposed 'authority'.

Yes, the young witnesses are doing so well. I think it helps them to know he's no longer 'Officer' Chauvin, but just plain 'Mr'.

The youngest witness is only 9 years old. the others 17, 18 and 18. Such brave girls.

Today's witnesses

1 Donald Williams - The mixed martial arts fighter was questioned for over an hour by the prosecution and the defence on Monday and Tuesday. In eyewitness video, he can be heard calling the police "bums" and asking them to get off Floyd. He served as the prosecution's Witness #3.
2 Darnella - This teenager filmed the viral video that made its way around the world and ignited the racial justice protests after George Floyd's death. She was called as Witness #4.
3 Judeah - This 9-year-old took the stand as Witness #5. She and her cousin had been walking to Cup Foods to get snacks when their attention was drawn to the exchange happening between Floyd and police. She said the incident made her feel “sad and kind of mad”.
4 Alissa - This 18-year-old is Witness #6. She arrived at Cup Foods that day by car. She identified person number five as her friend from school. She says the incident has left her feeling "numb".
5 Kalen - The 17-year-old high schooler is Witness #7. She arrived with Alissa, the sixth witness, at Cup Foods by car.
She was identified by Donald Williams, Witness #3, as a firefighter. He said she continually asked police to check Floyd's pulse.

Yes, the arrogance and indifference.

This is interesting on bots and disinformation.

Some Capitol riot suspects apologize as consequences sink in

Confronted with compelling video and photographic evidence in court, dozens of rioters have apologized and expressed regret as the consequences of their actions have started to sink in. The ramifications include potential job losses, financial ruin and possible time behind bars.

“This is going to have consequences for these people for the rest of their lives — and it should,” said John Flannery, a former federal prosecutor and Capitol Hill lawyer.

this clip from yesterday's trial where the judge castigates Genevieve Clara Hansen, tells her to "not argue with counsel, and specifically do not argue with the court"

Thank you for sharing those clips DuncinToffee.

I have full respect for Genevieve Clara Hansen, she is not taking any shit from the defence attorney. Whilst she may be getting told off for arguing with the counsel, she is holding her own and not allowing them to manipulate her or question her own mind. Full respect
