Several Twitter accounts have been hacked in an attempted fraud. The victims include Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
Posts have been published from the accounts where it is claimed that you have half an hour to send the equivalent of 1,000 dollars in the cryptocurrency bitcoin, and then get twice as much back. In addition to Joe Biden and Barack Obama, Apple and Kanye West are said to have been affected.
Twitter writes that it is aware of what has happened and is working on a solution. The posts have been quickly deleted and several accounts have been frozen.
"This seems to be the worst hack of a major social media platform to date," said Dimitri Alperovitch, co-founder of cybersecurity company Crowdstrike.

No biggie. But why have not Trump's Twitter account been hacked?
Nevermind:)

Because the Cyber Criminals wanted accounts with followers?

Because they didn't want King Donald to make possession of Bit Coin a capital offense?

Because it was a State Actor that wants King Donald re-elected?

I see that in the middle of a pandemic, Orange and his family are 'selling beans'.





A clear violation of federal ethics rules.

Well delusional Donny can't even keep on track when holding a press conference to talk about his signing of executive orders on the Hong Kong and China situation.

The 45 most incoherent lines from Trump's rambling Rose Garden speech.

Has anyone tested his metal health of late and are his minions so stupid to believe all this delusional B.S.?

Wow, CNN reporters really are going for the kill... Or should that be just that the already half-dead roadkill is getting scooped up?...

There's multiple gruesomely cringing clangers in there. Embarrassing to read!!

Phew!



All only in the USA?...

Stay safe!

... Trump himself appeared to back up his daughter on Wednesday by posting a photo on his Instagram account showing him in the Oval Office in front of various Goya products arrayed on his desk. As president, Trump is exempt from many of the rules that federal workers must follow...

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!?????????????

I was convinced that picture and grinning-cat Trump was spoof photoshopped...


Thankfully, no coffee was lost in that revelation.

You will be more disgusted when you find out that, the sales pitch was done on the Resolute Desk

An attached plaque reads;

H.M.S. ‘Resolute’, forming part of the expedition sent in search of Sir John Franklin in 1852, was abandoned in Latitude 74º 41′ N. Longitude 101º 22′ W. on 15th May 1854. She was discovered and extricated in September 1855, in Latitude 67º N. by Captain Buddington of the United States Whaler ‘George Henry’. The ship was purchased, fitted out and sent to England, as a gift to Her Majesty Queen Victoria by the President and People of the United States, as a token of goodwill & friendship. This table was made from her timbers when she was broken up, and is presented by the Queen of Great Britain & Ireland, to the President of the United States, as a memorial of the courtesy and loving kindness which dictated the offer of the gift of the “Resolute'.

Well brainless Donny and his side kick Ron DeSantis may have sealed this coming November's vote due to callus inaction and their greed for the dollar.

Trump needs Florida to win re-election. Now the state is America's new coronavirus epicentre.

On Sunday, Florida recorded its highest single-day count of 15,299 cases, smashing records set by New York and California.

Three days later, it recorded its highest single-day death count with 132 lives lost to COVID-19, sending the total number of deaths in the state above 4,500.

To put that in perspective, this week a Floridian died from this disease roughly every 11 minutes....
....Older Floridians, who were key in helping deliver Trump a 21-point victory in 2016, appear to be fed up with coronavirus and are eyeing Joe Biden, tipping the state ever more blue.

The President's primary campaign strategy is projecting a sense of normalcy and stability. You can see why the view might not look that way in Florida.

Tulsa, he he he.

Trump sends the gestapo to Portland.

SALEM, Ore. - The state attorney general announced a federal lawsuit late Friday against the United States Department of Homeland Security, the United States Marshals Service, the United States Customs and Border Protection, the Federal Protection Service and their agents "alleging they have engaged in unlawful law enforcement in violation of the civil rights of Oregonians by seizing and detaining them without probable cause."

Quite scary IMO.

While v2.0 keeps trying to pull those kinds of stunts Biden can just sit back and let #BlubberBoy do all his work for him.

'Sleepy Joe?' Trump's Insult May Reveal Biden's Advantage.

I saw the same events described on Aunty Beeb earlier today:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53453077
My first thoughts were along the lines that the USA is taking another step along the road to becoming a dictatorship the way that certain parties are using state agents to perform snatches of apparently innocent protestors (that is not those induing in physical acts of violence). A very sad state of affairs :-(

Get yer (sponsored) Fake News here!!


USA: Hundreds of hyperpartisan sites are masquerading as local news. This map shows if there’s one near you.

The growth of partisan media masquerading as state and local reporting is a troubling trend we’ve seen emerge amid the financial declines of local news organizations. But what do these outlets mean for journalism in American communities?...

... more than 400 partisan media outlets — often funded and operated by government officials, political candidates, PACs, and political party operatives — and found, somewhat unsurprisingly, that these outlets are emerging most often in swing states, raising a concern about the ability of such organizations to fill community information needs while prioritizing the electoral value of an audience...

All only in the USA?

Well v2.0 has done it again and has broken another copyright law and Twitter again slapped him down.

Twitter disables Trump copyright tweet.

Twitter Inc has disabled a campaign-style video that President Donald Trump retweeted, citing a copyright complaint.

The video, which included music from the group Linkin Park, disappeared from the president's Twitter feed late on Saturday with the notification: "This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner".

Twitter removed the video, which Trump had retweeted from White House social media director Dan Scavino, after it received a Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice from Machine Shop Entertainment, according to a notice posted on the Lumen Database which collects requests for removal of online materials.

Machine Shop is a management company owned by the rock band Linkin Park, according to its LinkedIn page.

"We respond to valid copyright complaints sent to us by a copyright owner or their authorised representatives," a Twitter representative said in an email statement.

Now how can he be a president for "Law and Order" when he keeps continually breaking them whenever he feels like it?

I'll be waiting for any of #BlubberBoy's supporters for an answer. ;-)

I bet that #BlubberBoy will continue to whinge and whine even more this week.

Trump has unified America – against him.

Trump is on the verge of accomplishing what no American president has ever achieved – a truly multi-racial, multi-class, bipartisan political coalition so encompassing it could realign US politics for years to come.

Unfortunately for Trump, that coalition has come into existence to prevent him from having another term in office.

Start with race. Rather than fuel his base, Trump’s hostility toward people protesting the police killing of George Floyd and systemic racism has pulled millions of white Americans closer to black Americans. More than half of whites now say they agree with the ideas expressed by the Black Lives Matter movement, and more white people support than oppose protests against police brutality. To a remarkable degree, the protests themselves have been biracial.

I wonder who'll he'll blame this time for his sad position.

I wonder who'll he'll blame this time for his sad position.

As ever anyone and everyone but himself

#BlubberBoy is still denying the facts.

Trump v Fox News Sunday: extraordinary moments from a wild interview.

Wallace then showed a montage of Trump’s comments minimizing Covid-19, by saying it will “disappear” at some point.

“I’ll be right eventually,” Trump said. “It is going to disappear. I’ll say it again, it’s going to disappear and I’ll be right.”

Wallace asked if Trump’s past comments about coronavirus disappearing, which have not been borne out, discredited him.

“I don’t think so, you know why? Because I’ve been right probably more than anybody else.”

And he wonders why most call him delusional, as delusional he certainly is.

Trump calls Fauci 'a little bit of an alarmist' as coronavirus cases rise.

He says as the U.S. is fast approaching 4 million cases and 150,000 deaths, U.S. citizens need to be alarmed about his total inaction and brainless denials.
