One of Trump's biggest lies is how "Mexico and China stole our jobs".
Mexico and China didn't steal our jobs.
They were given those jobs by the CEO's of America's companies.
I recall that back in the 70's politicians and pundits talked about economics and industry in terms of national security.
That stopped and was quickly forgotten under Reagan and neoliberalism.
At this hour (0900 MDT Sat Aug 10 2019), BBC World News is reporting that Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead in his New York jail cell.
Please feel free to add details as they become available to you.
Huge cache of records details how Jeffrey Epstein and madam lured girls into depraved world
A chilling picture of how hundreds of girls and young women from around the world were trafficked for sex by Jeffrey Epstein, his madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, and — allegedly — a number of powerful business and world leaders emerged Friday in court documents unsealed in New York.
The Monday after the El Paso and Dayton shootings a man in Atlanta shot three people and then himself. It was just another shooting such as those we wake up to nearly every morning. I don’t recall this level of violence 20 or 30 years ago.

They just crushed three wheelchairs!
These men claim to be religious leaders, spiritual guides, moral authorities. They are addressed as “His Eminence.” The man who appoints and promotes them is addressed as “Holy Father” and his government is the “Holy See.”
Today, The Economist/YouGov came out with another national poll--non-qualifying, of course--where Tulsi scored 3%. This was a national poll, keep in mind. This was an Aug. 3-6 poll (see page 200):
