": Vote-by-mail provisions in the 2020 elections As the 2020 election heats up, Trump has been slamming vote-by-mail provisions that have been recommended by health officials. Wednesday, Trump threatened to hold up federal funds for two election battleground states that are trying to make it easier and safer to vote during the coronavirus pandemic. He later backed away from that threat but stuck with his unsupported claim that widespread voting by mail promotes "a lot of illegality." "For the president to try to stop voting by mail is outrageous. this is not democrat or republican and in fact the experts don't know who voting by mail helps, which party. But all Americans should know one thing, we have a right to vote, its a sacred right, the president ought not stand in the way." Schumer mentioned that the HEROES Act contains funding for every ...

Erin Burnett has left a new comment on your post " Schumer compares Mitch McConnell to Herbert Hoover... ": Tensions on the Hill amid GOP push to investigate Tensions have flared on Capitol Hill over Senate Republicans' push to investigate Obama administration officials and the origins of the Russia investigation. The probes, Democrats say, are designed to dig up dirt against former Vice President's son Hunter Biden, who has worked in Ukraine. Schumer has said Republicans are chasing a "wild conspiracy theory." On Wednesday, the Senate Homeland Security Committee voted 8-6 to subpoena Blue Star Strategies, a lobbying firm that was a consultant to Burisma, a gas company in Ukraine that paid Hunter Biden to serve as a board member. There is no evidence of wrongdoing by the Bidens, and Hunter Biden has denied using his influence with his father to aid Burisma. But Republicans coming to President Donald Trump's defense during and after last year's i...

Erin Burnett has left a new comment on your post " Schumer compares Mitch McConnell to Herbert Hoover... ": Inspector general firings In the wide-ranging interview, Schumer also reacted to Trump's firing of State Department Inspector General Steve Linick late Friday. Trump has said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asked him to fire Linick. Linick had been conducting at least two oversight investigations into Pompeo's activities, including the administration's use of emergency powers to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia despite congressional opposition, and whether Pompeo was inappropriately using staff to run personal errands, according to a congressional aide. "Unfortunately it seems to be what the President does. When he hears the truth, instead of listening to it and adapting to it, he fires people," Schumer said. Schumer called for a full investigation into the charges against Pompeo. Unsubscribe from comment emails for this blog. Posted ...

Erin Burnett has left a new comment on your post " Schumer compares Mitch McConnell to Herbert Hoover... ": COVID-19 impact on communities of color Schumer also weighed in on the terrible toll the coronavirus is taking on communities of color. In New York, African Americans are twice as likely to die of the virus. "The reason is very simple. Communities of color, minority communities and poor communities don't have adequate health care and haven't for a very long time," Schumer told The View's Whoopi Goldberg. Schumer advocated for more testing, particularly within minority communities. "Let me say one thing about testing. This has been one of the greatest failures of this administration, and I hope they learn from it," Schumer said. Schumer said he has asked the Trump administration to provide detailed data on minority-owned business's access to emergency lending funds. In the first round of Paycheck Protection Program, many of the sm...

Erin Burnett has left a new comment on your post " Schumer compares Mitch McConnell to Herbert Hoover... ": Schumer criticizes McConnell's response to the coronavirus crisis Schumer compared McConnell to President Herbert Hoover, who has been historically criticized for his slow response to the beginning of the Great Depression. Schumer made a prediction that pressure from the American people who need more aid will force McConnell to the negotiating table. "One of the big pieces is help your local governments. What does that mean? It's policemen, it's firefighters, it's bus drivers. It's health care workers. ... These people are all going to be fired and lose their jobs through no fault of their own," Schumer told The View's Joy Behar. The criticism echoed comments Schumer made earlier in the week. "Here, it's business as usual. Leader McConnell has spent three weeks of the Senate's time largely on nominations, only one of w...

"If there were people watching, in particularly, people who might like him and listen to him and they have the illness and instead of going to the doctor and getting the proper care, they took hydroxychloroquine, that could hurt their recovery, and even worse, the FDA, our federal agency has said hydroxychloroquine, particularly in older people can cause heart arrhythmia, strokes and other things likes that," Schumer told The View's Sunny Hostin in a wide-ranging interview that touched on tensions on Capitol Hill, the disparate...

Erin Burnett has left a new comment on your post " Meghan McCain react to Pres. Trump specifying that... ": Higher taxes, less spending Still, it's a mystery when and if the bond market will eventually balk at high US debt and demand much higher interest rates. "The breaking point is like an invisible dog fence," said MacGuineas, the president of CRFB. "You don't know where it is, but if you actually hit it, it'll be a huge problem." To avoid hitting it, politicians will eventually have to make difficult decisions to get the United States back towards a sustainable fiscal path -- most likely less spending and higher taxes -- both of which would translate to slower economic growth. "If we live beyond our means today," JPMorgan's Kelly said, "we will have to live within our means in the future." Unsubscribe from comment emails for this blog.

Erin Burnett has left a new comment on your post " Meghan McCain react to Pres. Trump specifying that... ": Rate hikes could set off a crisis But that equation would change, of course, if rates rose sharply. Given the sheer magnitude of the debt, even a tiny increase in interest is costly. Interest payments were the fastest-growing expense for the federal government even before the crisis. One risk is that a surprisingly strong rebound in the US economy forces the Fed to rapidly reverse course. "If the economy comes back too hot, then you could have inflation, higher interest rates -- and that could lead to a fiscal crisis," said JPMorgan's Kelly. That's exactly why some believe the Fed will be forced to keep rates at rock-bottom levels. "It will be that much harder this time to wean the economy off ultra-low rates because the debt is that much greater," said Invesco's Hooper. Unsubscribe from comment emails for this blog. Po...

Erin Burnett has left a new comment on your post " Meghan McCain react to Pres. Trump specifying that... ": Markets don't seem to mind, at least not yet The good news is that Uncle Sam is having no trouble, at least so far, with financing the deficit. The 10-year Treasury rate is near all-time low at just 0.7%. That signals investors don't fear the US debt situation is even near a breaking point. Markets aren't freaking out about US debt for a few reasons. First, this spending is temporary and emergency in nature. Second, the US dollar remains the preeminent international reserve currency and US Treasury market is the deepest and largest in the world. Those are huge advantages that keep demand strong for US debt. Third, it's extremely cheap to borrow right now. The Fed slashed interest rates to near-zero --and economists think they may stay there into 2022. "It doesn't blow us up -- because interest rates are so low," said David Kelly, chief...

Erin Burnett has left a new comment on your post " Meghan McCain react to Pres. Trump specifying that... ": Powell: 'Not the time' to worry about debt Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve chair, recently expressed regret about America's failure to get its debt situation under control years ago. "It tells you the importance of getting your fiscal house in order," Powell said during a press conference last week. "Ideally, you would go into an unexpected shock like this with a much stronger fiscal posture." Yet Powell urged politicians not to worry about that now. "This is not the time to let that concern, which is a very serious concern, get in the way of us winning this battle," he said. Worries about debt forced the United States to rein in spending shortly after the Great Recession a decade ago. Economists say that premature withdrawal of stimulus hobbled the economy. "The anemic recovery was a direct result of not enough fis...

Erin Burnett has left a new comment on your post " Meghan McCain react to Pres. Trump specifying that... ": 'Absolute necessity' But for now, the focus is on keeping American businesses and households afloat. In March, Congress passed a $2.3 trillion stimulus package, the largest in US history. Half a trillion dollars of forgivable loans have been handed out to small businesses. Direct payments were made to low- and middle-income families. The Congressional Budget Office expects the federal budget deficit will hit $3.7 trillion this year, up from an eye-popping $1 trillion in 2019. And more stimulus is likely coming, perhaps another $2 trillion later this year, to help out states and local governments battered by the crisis. All of this will add yet more debt to the pile. But there's no other viable option to stave off further crisis. "The fiscal stimulus and resulting explosion of the deficit is an absolute necessity to combat the devastating impact fro...

Erin Burnett has left a new comment on your post " Meghan McCain react to Pres. Trump specifying that... ": The US is becoming the king of debt. It's a necessary risk President Donald Trump is living up to his self-given nickname "King of Debt." On his watch, the United States has borrowed aggressively -- during the good times, and now the bad times. Instead of whittling down the federal deficit when the economy was strong, Trump directed the federal government pile on even more debt to pay for massive tax cuts and spending surges. That meant that the United States entered this crisis in rough financial shape. Debt-to-GDP stood at nearly 80% even before the coronavirus pandemic struck -- a rate more than twice as high as the historical average and double the level before the Great Recession. Now, the national debt is exploding because Washington is being forced to rescue the US economy from its greatest shock ever. The Treasury Department said this week it ...

": In the short term, Nabarro says a vast program of testing and contact tracing would need to be implemented to allow life to function alongside Covid-19 -- one which dwarfs any such program ever established to fight an outbreak, and which remains some time away in major countries like the US and the UK. "Absolutely critical is going to be having a public health system in place that includes contact tracing, diagnosis in the workplace, monitoring for syndromic surveillance, early communication on whether we have to re-implement social distancing," adds Hotez. "It's doable, but it's complicated and we really haven't done it before." Those systems could allow for some social interactions to return. "If there's minimal transmission, it may indeed be possible to open things up for sporting events" and other large gatherings, ...

Erin Burnett has left a new comment on your post " Simeon Courtie Says Coronavirus Vaccine Could Be R... ": What life without a vaccine looks like If a vaccine can't be produced, life will not remain as it is now. It just might not go back to normal quickly. "The lockdown is not sustainable economically, and possibly not politically," says Neal. "So we need other things to control it." That means that, as countries start to creep out of their paralyses, experts would push governments to implement an awkward new way of living and interacting to buy the world time in the months, years or decades until Covid-19 can be eliminated by a vaccine. "It is absolutely essential to work on being Covid-ready," Nabarro says. He calls for a new "social contract" in which citizens in every country, while starting to go about their normal lives, take personal responsibility to self-isolate if they show symptoms or come into contact with a poten...

Erin Burnett has left a new comment on your post " Simeon Courtie Says Coronavirus Vaccine Could Be R... ": Plan B If the same fate befalls a Covid-19 vaccine, the virus could remain with us for many years. But the medical response to HIV/AIDS still provides a framework for living with a disease we can't stamp out. "In HIV, we've been able to make that a chronic disease with antivirals. We've done what we've always hoped to do with cancer," Offit says. "It's not the death sentence it was in the 1980s." The groundbreaking development of a daily preventative pill -- pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP -- has since led to hundreds of thousands of people at risk of contracting HIV being protected from the disease. A number of treatments are likewise being tested for Covid-19, as scientists hunt for a Plan B in parallel to the ongoing vaccine trials, but all of those trials are in very early stages. Scientists are looking at experimental ...

Erin Burnett has left a new comment on your post " Simeon Courtie Says Coronavirus Vaccine Could Be R... ": When vaccines don't work In 1984, the US Secretary of Health and Human Services Margaret Heckler announced at a press conference in Washington, DC, that scientists had successfully identified the virus that later became known as HIV -- and predicted that a preventative vaccine would be ready for testing in two years. Nearly four decades and 32 million deaths later, the world is still waiting for an HIV vaccine. Instead of a breakthrough, Heckler's claim was followed by the loss of much of a generation of gay men and the painful shunning of their community in Western countries. For many years, a positive diagnosis was not only a death sentence; it ensured a person would spend their final months abandoned by their communities, while doctors debated in medical journals whether HIV patients were even worth saving. The search didn't end in the 1980s. In 1997...

Kỹ xảo của mấy anh Nga ngố thì đỉnh rồi -Nhược: các tình tiết trong phim vs các cảnh hành động đều khá là chậm và nhạt như mọi phim scifi của Nga khác. Cái chi tiết nhảm nhất phim là đoạn đầu khi nhân vật Pilot ôm bom tự sát để câu giờ xong 3 đứa còn lại vừa đi bộ vừa nói trong khi con thần chết đang từ từ tái tạo lại. Chưa kể về sau toàn cầm bom r đáp chứ chả cần ôm bom cảm tử làm gì Cơ bản là phim cũng khá hơn mấy bộ scifi Nga trc đó về mặt nội dung lẫn kỹ xảo.

Nếu mà cứ khăng khăng phim này copy của inception, chi bằng mình cũng kêu inception có copy lại mấy phim anime nổi tiếng trước đó của nhật cũng làm về giấc mơ vậy?!

Các kiến trúc phức tạp và đẹp mắt hơn Inception nhưng dĩ nhiên là ko hồi hộp hấp dẫn và xoắn não bằng Inception. Nếu cái này để vào tay các anh Hollywood thì thành bom tấn luôn. Nhiều bạn so sánh rồi kêu ăn cắp ý tưởng của Inception là hoàn toàn vô lý. Nội dung khác hẳn nhau. Chủ đề giấc mơ thì nó cũng có những concept chung như vậy thôi. Thế ko lẽ các phim Giết người hàng loạt và bắt cóc con tin, ngôi nhà ma ám đều ăn cắp ý tưởng của nhau hết à? Thực sự ấn tượng ko ngờ trình độ kỹ xảo của Nga lại làm đc đến mức này!

": Đánh giá tạm thế này nhé: - Điểm trừ lớn nhất: Diễn viên diễn chưa sâu, chưa đạt khiến cảm xúc và tâm lí không bộc lộ đúng, có lúc ko hiểu họ làm gì, hoặc khiến hành động trở nên stupid ( Ngu ngốc ) hoặc trông họ cứ như là diễn cho có đúng kiểu dân tập sự. - Tình tiết, nội dung chưa được đầu tư chu đáo và hợp lí khiến mặc dù phim khá dài nhưng chỗ thừa, chỗ không có giải thích hoặc có cảnh quay diễn biến trước đó và hơi thiếu logic cũng như sắp xếp các diễn biến thiếu hợp lí. - Kĩ sảo chỉ ở mức tương đối, mặc dù việc tận dụng đồ họa máy tính là có nhưng chỉ đạt như phim Mỹ 10 năm về trước. Nâng cao hơn 1 chút thì cảnh quay chưa có nhiều góc độ, kỹ thuật cao, không có điểm nhấn như cắt cảnh nhanh, zoom action, slow motion,...
