There's a bill of sale for a complete set of teeth from presumably a slave in favour of George Washington.
'After the looting the shooting' can surely not gain enough support for Trump November?

I wouldn't be dismayed at them declaring war on the virus if they could sort it out among themselves.
Kentucky is one of the places that interest me.

It is the psychology that interests me. The resistance to ever having to be inconvenienced. Just a few times in my life did a leader here ever acknowledge the pain their people had caused others. Most often a Labor leader.
It feels like a nice day to drink myself to death. Latin America sounds dreadful. The US clients ditto, but especially Bolsonaro, a true moral monster.

Ever read this? Who wrote it? Maybe it is obvious for the style?
In 1855, he wrote that if the movement ever won power it would rewrite the Declaration of Independence: When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics. When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.

Let us assume that we are looking toward famine in Latin America. I read something about an estimate of 18 million deaths, though I wouldn't swear to it. Trump is the leader. This is an extraordinary dangerous time.

A famine? Because of climate and sars2?
Bolsonaro is willfully letting the people die.
One effect of pulling out of the TTP is there is no trade agreement (moderating force) in Brazil. It's chaos.Praying for Biden. A sentence so utterly strange to say.

Fox's response to the below was to say he must have had a pre-existing medical condition. I don't watch that but one can always tell who does.

Much more than the death of one man. The alternative reality thing is dangerous.

Alex, 100% agree. I can't believe it's standard practice. Maybe we'll make some progress.

>We'll see how well dump survives.
This wouldn't work here, though it worked well in Queensland for 20 years when it was gerrymandered like some Republican states.
But the US is more polarised. I prefer Aryan Death Cult to Conservative; it might come to that.
The betting is 1.98 for Biden and 2.34 for Trump, which is my feeling. Even for Biden different from weeks ago. More polarisation.
It was lovely to hear the Bishop say 'This is blasphemy in real time'.

So sorry for not understanding the odds. Does that give Biden the advantage?ScoMo said something!

Imagine you put one dollar on Biden. If he wins you get back $1.98.
You put one dollar on Trump, you get $2.34 if he wins.
They're not always right. They got the federal election here wrong. And they paid out in advance (in at least one case.) A million dollars or something.
