Edmonton Hospital COVID-19 outbreak: Three dead, 35 patients, staff now infected

Is Vegas still available?

Edmonton’s Misericordia Hospital is effectively shutting its doors to the public to battle a “full facility” COVID-19 outbreak that has now left three patients dead and another 20 patients and 15 staff infected, Alberta Health Services said Wednesday.

Disagree. This indicates that the majority of Trump's death cult are bright enough to understand the actual meaning of "de-fund" I'm surprised.

The phrase needs context for you to say it doesn’t mean to completely defund the police. At the very least it is unclear, I don’t see how that is arguable

Maybe they should call Dana White and ask about using fight island?

The NHL: We've got it all figured out. We will setup ridiculous hoops that we think we can juuuuuuuust get to work so long as nothing goes wrong in a pandemic that is devastating the locations of nearly all of our teams and where most of our players reside.
COVID: Hmm. How bout I fuck up your plans for you?
The NHL:

Who could have possibly seen this coming?

There's only seven states in the union, plus DC, where COVID is actually declining. Stick the tournament in Hartford and you might have a shot.

“We Have to Be Prepared for Trump Losing”: As Chaos Engulfs Trump Campaign, Ingraham, Other Loyalists Look For the Next Thing

Trump’s COVID bungling and ugly rhetoric are baked in—and against all advice, he’s thinking of commuting Roger Stone’s sentence. A campaign shake-up is still on the table—but can anything help?

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/07/chaos-engulfs-trump-campaign

It gets better.

Another option that’s been discussed is for Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to go over to the campaign full-time in the same way Ronald Reagan’s chief of staff James Baker left the West Wing to run Reagan’s ’84 campaign.

Mary Trump said he never wanted to win,it was just to publicize his brand. Maybe he wants to lose?

[pete]

Maybe he wants to lose?

He doesn't want to lose. For a very important reason...

[dannybolt]

Those two upwardly failing dipshits, Kushner and Herr Cheeto deserve each other. I can't wait for him to take over His Orangeness campaign and promptly drop an additional 5 points after suggesting that Trump punch Melania to prove his tough guy bonafides.

Trump's campaign is the best place for ole Kush. He can't fuck up anything of consequence over there. Can we get Barr on the campaign as well?

I would argue that while it does need context to convey what it actually means, it does the thing it intended in getting those who hear it to think about police and justice reforms

I would argue that you could also guard against mosquitoes by setting yourself on fire. If they have to gaslight people in order to properly convey their message, than there is a problem with the message. It was done on purpose. It should be very clear that the intent of the call to action is to also affirm all of those who want to eliminate the police.
