Trump on Covid-19 at the debate: “I take full responsibility. It’s not my fault.”

President Donald Trump seemed poised to take responsibility for his failure on Covid-19 at Thursday’s presidential debate — and then he didn’t.

“I take full responsibility,” Trump said. He immediately continued: “It’s not my fault that it came here. It’s China’s fault.”

Trump's Voter Intimidation Plan Goes Into Action

The Trump campaign has been videotaping voters as they deposit ballots in drop boxes in Philadelphia ― a practice that the campaign claims is to document ballot fraud but that the Pennsylvania attorney general warns could amount to illegal voter intimidation.

Do you remember another election in your lifetime where armed citizens showed up at polling places to intimate other citizens?

My mother, who when she was teaching in a very poor school in Rochester, NY in the 1960s, brought bread & peanut butter so that every one of her kids, no matter how much breakfast they claimed to have had, all ate something before school started.

Months later, when her principal saw the increased test scores for her class, he asked "what did you do?" She replied, "I fed them." This is not to lionize my mother, but to point out how a small bit of empathy goes a long way. - William F. Tulloch

Rudy Giuliani Scene In 'Borat' Sequel Seizes Political Attention

Rudy Giuliani Scene In 'Borat' Sequel Seizes Political Attention

NPR critic Bob Mondello, who has seen Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, says:

"The Giuliani scene takes the form of a hotel suite interview with actress Maria Bakalova, who is impersonating a television reporter. At one point the actress suggests they continue the conversation in the suite's bedroom and Giuliani agrees. He is then seen sitting on the bed as she helps him remove his microphone, untucking his shirt in the process. After a cut, he lies back on the bed, and reaches into the front of his pants, at which point Borat, wearing an outrageous pink getup, rushes in, interrupting them."

The order was set to come into force at midnight Thursday, Agriculture Minister Carola Schouten said in a statement.
