Elizabeth Warren:Trump has lied about this crisis. Denied it exists. Fired scientists and oversight



Elizabeth Warren
@ewarren

Trump has lied about this crisis. Denied it exists. Fired scientists and oversight officials. Recommended people drink bleach. Stolen PPE from governors he doesn't like.

We need leadership to meet this moment. What we have is gutless posturing, corruption, and disinformation

Exactly.. Mahalo Senator Warren! Retweeted!

Isn't this the kind of hard-hitting counter commentary the news outlets love to put on their shows? Give the audience another perspective from the prevailing wisdom? Shouldn't the shows be having Elizabeth Warren on to draw in viewers with her fiery rhetoric?

he has lied daily since. When he was doing the daily briefing thing, he hovered around the experts as they were trying to inform us. Just like he did at the debates with Hillary. Intimidating. There isn't a shred of good in this monster. So much death and suffering because of him. Now the daily lies about the hydro-whateverthehell. Almost anyone could have done a better job at dealing with this pandemic. I sometimes think he really wants to watch it all burn.

Conservatism is a failure.

We need fair elections. We need them charged and convicted and thrown in prison and face civil lawsuits until every penny they've stolen out of the U.S. treasury is repaid!

Over 90,000 deaths directly attributable to "gutless posturing, corruption, and disinformation" -- see those countries whose leaders responded according to science.

I couldn't believe it when it happened.. the first click I tried didn't work but the 2nd did.. it's called the Direct link.

Have to upload the pic to Save As and then download to imgur and then Direct Link and Voila!

Thank you so much!

You shouldn't have to save and transfer to imgur; you should be able to get the link to the original image. It's a matter of figuring out whatever incantation your system 'understands' -- in other words, how the programmers obscure the command to take action you want taken.

(Computers are idiots; they can only compute).

maybe the tech can help with that remotely when I have my online appointment tomorrow?

This is helpful.. when I talk to my tech guy tomorrow.. maybe they can unobscure it?

runtime 8 mins 35 secs



I just copied the URL from my browser tab and pasted it here. DU does the rest.
Here's the URL, with some spaces added so DU doesn't embed the video twice:
https ://www. youtube. com/watch?v=Bw3GLyuSiT0

I get this..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=6&v=Bw3GLyuSiT0&feature=emb_title



I'd been posting Vids for almost 2 decades before I got this current laptop.

The reason I can post pics now is bc I can upload them in my picture files.. but I don't know how to do that with videos on this laptop.

I appreciate the help though!

You just have some extra stuff floating around it.

You're having to deal with 3 separate globs of software: your browser, the server holding the video, and DU.

For youtube, consider "watch" to be a command, and "?v=Bw3GLyuSiT0" to be identifying which video to watch. This is all that DU needs. The "time_continue" and "feature=emb_title" parts of that URL are extras provided by youtube, at youtube.

I usually search for videos on duckduckgo and open them in a new tab. That tab of my browser (Firefox) then holds a 'clean' URL that I can copy and paste here.
