Also look at the military equipment the police have! Who the fuck are they anticipating to come across? If you think the police are here for you and me, I don’t know what to tell you. They are protecting the rich. And we’re paying for it. Medicare for all? Fuck off. Tanks for police? Yep.
2020
Anyone remember the pandemic?
I don’t get it. Landlords are going to kick people out because they can’t pay rent only to leave these apartments empty? Who the hell do they think is going to be able to move in?
We’re going to go from “Teachers should be paid $1 million a day!” to “Tax revenues are down, so the teachers have to go. What else can be done?”
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
Barbershops are open in Georgia, but elections are cancelled. We really are governed by the worst people.
Any podcast about libraries is my kind of podcast. Well, in this case, an episode about libraries will do. Libraries will always be my favorite place in the world. I can’t wait my local branch to reopen.
An alternative headline could be: More real estate to be available in Platteville, WI in June.
Trump is more afraid of real questions from reporters than he is of the virus.
Of course states are going to reopen despite thousands dying every day. We didn’t do a fucking thing about guns when little kids were slaughtered… Why would do anything about this virus?
When I read the news I wonder if we should even bother with a vaccine. I know that most people (the vast vast majority) are doing the right thing under difficult circumstances… But wow, reading the news.
When I get really down like this I still want a vaccine if for no other reason that I can begin petting the neighbor dogs again.
I’m not claiming the Dems are always on the side of the working class (because they are most definitely not), but there really is only one side actively trying to screw over those whose pockets aren’t fat with cash.
There is no way Apple isn’t working on the next generation of Smart Connector that does fast charging and fast data transfer.
Once it’s done and out, we’ll see all kinds of cool magnetic docks for the iPad line. Perfect for the big iPad that also has to be coming, right?
There are far more sociopaths in our society than I thought there were.
The Bird of Third is keeping me up at night. This time it started up at 2am rather than his more regular time of 3am.
Uh oh. Sounds like some Republicans are worried about a Biden presidency. Else why would they pretend to give a shit about the country’s debt?
It’s all forecasted in the Old Republicans’ Almanac.
It’s clear to some, but not enough, that our medical system is a criminal grift.
If you are rich it’s maybe OK, but for the rest of us?
Florida opened beaches on 17 April? So, the hospitalizations and death will be in… Mid May?
We’re ruled by the dumbest people.
Checks have been sent out? Here comes the looting.
Apple should buy the LA Times.
Just because we are, in fact, flattening the curve, does not mean we are in any way in the clear. As many people are going to get this virus as before we self quarantined.
Millions of people are going to get this until there is a vaccine.
SO the “reopen the country” people need to cut it the fuck out.
So the Biden plan to get asses to the polls is to say to young voters “I’ll lower the eligible age of Medicare to 60. Well, it’s either that or you get more Trump.” Great choice.
Not John! Time to turn the lights down low, put on his music, and have a slice of meatloaf.
Got this email:
LOL, you mean how you take my $1 and supply $.74 of healthcare? Like that?
This is a real quote from the White House site:
You can call it a germ, you can call it a flu, you can call it a virus. You know, you can call it many different names. I’m not sure anybody even knows what it is.
No one knows what it is. It’s unknowable, apparently.
This 240,000 number floating around is huge. But something doesn’t seem right. I really think there might be a missing zero (or closer to adding a zero than not).
Blood is all over the hands of the GOP.
📰🤦♂️🖕There’s a reason I stopped subscribing to NYTimes years ago and started donating to Pro Publica. I hope you’ll do the same.
I don’t agree with all the people proposing to thank, applaud, put on a parade for the world’s essential workers. The people proposing that are doing it for themselves—to feel like they are doing something when, in fact, they are not doing anything.
No, what I propose is voting for people who will prepare properly, enforce better pay, and make sure everyone has the right to healthcare. And not weasel words like access to healthcare.
When Congress voted for the $2T economic bill, there wasn’t a single question of “How will we pay for this?” Not one! So, we can do good things if we want. We just choose not to. And that deserves no applause.
Since right after a school shooting is, apparently, not the time to talk about gun violence, is now the time to talk about?
Our children are dying and we should get rid of all these guns.
