"...the president is a kind-hearted man & a good man. I’d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England. I’d put the heads on pikes, right? I’d put them at the 2 corners of the @WhiteHouse as a warning to federal bureaucrats, you either get w/the program..."

“Just yesterday, there was the anniversary of the hanging of two Tories in Philadelphia,” the video host, Maxey said. “These were Quaker businessmen who had cohabitated, if you will, with the British while they were occupying Philadelphia...."

"...These people were hung. This is what we used to do to traitors.”
“That’s how you won the revolution. No one wants to talk about it. The revolution wasn’t some sort of garden party, right? It was a civil war. It was a civil war,” Bannon replied.

While America's obsessed w/elections, Europe is freaking out about a mutant form of #SARSCoV2 in mink animals & people: Denmark seals off 7 municipalities in north Jutland. Train & bus traffic is discontinued. Reason: first infections of residents w/mutated species of the virus.
I'm going to forward info about the mink/mutant #COVID strain because most of my followers likely missed it, amid the elections tension.
So, this thread will be heavy with links.

"A Dutch virologist and zoonosis expert, Wim van der Poel, said more research was needed but that even without the mutation, a reservoir of the virus in mink or others of the mustelid family such as badgers and martens was to be avoided."

ATTN!
While you were sleeping #Trump issued an edict that eliminates job protections for tens of thousands (maybe millions) of federal employees, all involved in policy-making. It paves the way for a mass firing of govt employees.

The edict "...strips long-held civil service protections from employees whose work involves policymaking, allowing them to be dismissed with little cause or recourse, much like the political appointees who come and go with each administration."

"All 62 residents in a Kansas nursing home tested + for #COVID19, health officials announced. Of those 62 residents, 10 have died, 1 is hospitalized, & the rest of the residents are currently being quarantined & treated at the facility."

A 100% infection rate is astounding -- I can't recall any such scale in any prior epidemic. It's urgent to get a detailed epi/genomic analysis. Was this spread by a staff member? By a single elder superspreader? A family visitor?
#COVID19 is CONTAGIOUS.
A man who lost his uncle in this nursing home, about #COVID19 threat: “Respect it, it is a real thing and people are really dying—just be aware of your situation and take the precautions needed.”
