Hospitals currently have a lot more people admitted with flu than at the same time in recent years. It remains to be seen how the peak will compare to previous years. (Half the IFS healthcare team are also currently laid low with it...)

Hahaha. The Venezuelan oil tanker that Trump seized today was an attempt to deflect or bury the murder of those two survivors. Just like he asked, “Are you still talking about Epstein?”, today he said, “I thought that issue was dead,” when CNN asked about the second video.
Dead giveaway.

Some say it is illegal to arrest a sitting president. It is not. The president is subject to the law like everyone. That none have been arrested in the U.S. is only a policy internal to the DOJ based on the need for continuity of government operations--a policy that never imagined a criminal POTUS.
