I got jury duty this month. The notice had the courtesy of mentioning that covid-19 precautions were being enforced as per governor's orders and direction of health care professionals. As to how accurately that pans out, I hope I don't have to find out, but we'll see.

I got my first jury duty summons ever back in March right when this stuff started up.

I friggin overslept and missed it, COVID must have saved me from whatever the punishment is for that, because I didnt hear anything.

Yeah they list a bunch of precautions, but the thing I really want to know is whether the deliberation room will be well-ventilated (e.g. will it have an open window, and if not will they allow the door to remain open?)

Okay I looked at a transcript of Trump's comments and it doesn't sound like Trump is talking about taxes. More like protection money. I guess he learned it from Putin, who did this to the oligarchs in Russia.

In which case.....I don't approve of this. Isn't the point that we are better than China because we don't exercise direct control of the economy?

These people have learnt nothing from 2016. They were probably the same people focusing their efforts on running up the popular vote in Chicago and New Orleans or whatever city they were doing it in out of fear that Trump might refuse to concede the election because he could win the popular vote and lose the electoral college.

APD said officers identified a vehicle that matched the license plate number and description they were given.

APD said a motorcycle with the same license plate number from a different state was actually the vehicle reported stolen on Sunday morning.

Weirdest looking motorcycle I've ever seen.

some highlights for me:

interviewer, after looking at the chart trump handed him: oh, you're doing death as a proportion of cases. i'm talking about death as a proportion of population. (...)
trump: you can't do that!

interviewer: look at south korea, for example. 51 million population. 300 deaths.
trump: you don't know that!

...anyone who thinks it's a super big deal that biden comes across as a senile grandpa when he talks should check out this clip tbqh.

just starting the full thing and already what a damn dumbass

Swan: "And you know the last time I was with you was the day before your Tulsa rally, in the oval, and, you know, you were saying big huge crowd, it was going to be indoors..."

Trump: "By the way, excuse me Jonathan, we had a 19,000 seat stadium, first of all we had 12,000 people, not 6,000 which you reported... but you couldn't even get in, it was like an armed camp-"

Swan: "Why would you want to though? Why would you have wanted a huge crowd?"

Trump: "-And Tulsa, well because that area was a very good area at the time, it was an area that was pretty much over... AFTER, after, a month later, it started going up - that's a month later. But Tulsa was a very good - Oklahoma was doing very well as a state! It was almost free! It spiked a month later, almost two months later, but it was a good area."

alright I'm gonna stop transcribing here because he's going back in circles about armed camp and 12,000 attendees again

But god, Swan is trying to get to the point of having a huge rally amid a pandemic, Trump can't help boost his numbers and still laughably brag about a made-up 63% capacity and how you couldn't get more people in there. Then as Swan finishes the point of why would you even want a huge crowd he lies about Tulsa being a good area (it wasn't, it was rising before the rally took place) and tries to say the surge only came after the rally... as a defense for the decision to have it there. He really doesn't think ahead about what he's saying -_-

Because he doesn't have to. The Republican strategy of "Facts be damned" has been around for a long time. Anything that doesn't fit their prejudices, they dismiss. Nobody who supports Trump at this point can think beyond their own prejudices.

Yeah he's just trying to say what will make him look good. He doesn't even care about America. He only cares about himself.

Trump: "If you look at death- okay, let's look. take a look at some of these charts. We're gonna look... if you look at DEATH per... here's one! Well, right here, United States is lowest in... numerous categories... we're lower than... the world!"

Swan: "... Lower than the world?... What does that mean?"

i totally buy that trump legitimately thinks this is a good argument.

"the world has about 692000 deaths and we only have about 158000! compared to the world, we're doing great!"

I wish the rest of the media covered him the way Swan is in this interview(s? Is Axios just releasing it in a drip or did they get a series somehow? How was it not cancelled after last week lol?)

I know this has the advantage of a one-on-one interview but actually following-up and refusing to let him just distract and gish gallop and move on is so refreshing and it shouldn't be it's basic journalism.
