Didn’t that happen in Batman Begins? Or was it Dark Knight Rises? Actually maybe it was all 3.

I know it also happened on gotham.

Mayor Pete will be at the Biden VP unveiling or whatever it is. The decision is “imminent” per many sources.

I wonder if Biden is going to announce his whole cabinet.

I saw Harris unfollowed Biden on Twitter...

It was first reported by a a guy from OAN who later posted this:

However, that may explain the drop in Harris price on Betfair...

BLM leaders in Chicago supporting the looters from Sunday. Saying that the looting are like repreations and will feed and cloth people and that these businesses "have insurance".

I guess having insurance is free reign for people to damage and loot your property.

Are you talking rising star of the GOP Desantis? Should be a cake walk for him in 2024.

Not the "hard news" on FOX, just Hannity.

I don't watch foxnews, I just go to the website.

New York’s coronavirus death toll in nursing homes, already among the highest in the nation, could actually be a significant undercount. Unlike every other state with major outbreaks, New York only counts residents who died on nursing home property and not those who were transported to hospitals and died there.

So essentially this under counts the COVID deaths for particular nursing homes if the resident died at a hospital. I guess I can see how this plays as a fox byline because of that whole Cuomo sending COVID patients to homes thing, but I assume those individuals would be counted as COVID fatalities if they died of the virus at a hospital, so it would not discount the overall impact of COVID in the state.

Seems to bother factorial and tif though. I have to balance off the vox links etc with real news.

You do know the AP is not Foxnews right?

I'm not saying it isn't newsworthy, just that I don't care, but I am sure that there are people that care because they always point to that decision by Cuomo to counter criticisms of GOP COVID responses.

Well his decisions were probably the worst in the nation, so it is fair to look and compare.
