America’s ‘Wartime’ President Brags He’s #1 On Facebook, Threatens Military Action Against Iran, And Touts Drug Interdiction Operation–During Coronavirus Briefing. Oh, and tells lie after lie. Hey, if they’re gonna give him close to two hours of TV time every night, he’ll find stuff to fill it. Pull. The. Plug. You’re reelecting him.
This Day In Coronavirus Denialism. Dr. Fauci needs security protection b/c of wingnuts:
Last month, an article depicting him as an agent of the “deep state” gained nearly 25,000 interactions on Facebook — meaning likes, comments and shares — as it was posted to large pro-Trump groups with titles such as “Trump Strong” and “Tampa Bay Trump Club.”
Pence’s beloved Hobby Lobby opens stores despite ban. Ga. governor suddenly ‘discovers’ the risks that asymptomatic individuals pose. RWNJ radio talk show host Bill Mitchell is the source of much of the misinformation. Idaho pastor/legislator still holding church services. Predatory loan chain stays open illegally to collect debts during pandemic. Feel free to add your own. This may well become a daily feature.
Everything Falls Apart, Ctd. New US jobless claims could approach 5 million today. We’re almost out of stockpiled medical supplies. The updated carnage: 216,722 cases and 5137 deaths in the US. And still not nearly enough tests, protective equipment or ventilators while we’ve sent shitloads of this equipment overseas (I can’t make this up). Help is on the way, though.
Carney Imposes New Measures. I totally agree with the social distancing requirements for grocery stores, BTW.
Amazon Is The Evil Empire. BTW, if John Carney didn’t stand up to the gun stores, you can bet that he will not try to protect Amazon workers, no matter how many restrictions he places on other companies. He’ll continue to throw money at it.
What do you want to talk about?
No, they’re not reelecting him. Do you think anyone who was going to vote against him before this is going to change his mind over these daily shitshows? I don’t, and even some on the fence (independents, mostly) are going to realize he’s an incompetent shithead.
Why are the polls tightening, then?
Suspect the real reason is the Biden is, at best, a weak and uninspiring candidate, that and where the hell is he?
The Trump v. Biden polls aren’t tightening. The ones that show it close (Gallup) have always shown it close. His approval bump was minimal at best. Get a grip. And stay safe. Are you still working?
Yes, and we’ve long since implemented the requirements that the governor just announced. We even wipe down carts for the customers and have a ‘spritz station’ with sanitizer when people enter. So far, I feel real good. But you never know if you have it until you really have it.
If you look at 538, the polls indeed have been tightening, and it’s not primarily Gallup:

Those are approval ratings. Meaningless. But if repeated enough it will help people lose hope and stay home. Just sayin’.
I still haven’t seen jack shit from Biden. Does anyone actually know there is an election coming up?
Polls don’t mean crap. Polls in this very public crisis mean even less than crap. Polls that are generated by corporate hack media sources (such as MSNBC) constantly allowing that sociopathic moron (orange-peel) to spend hours spewing his self-promoting misinformation are bogus and harmful. John Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde didn’t kill one tenth of one percent of the people that Trump has but they did kill innocent people, yet they had very high popularity ratings because they were given exposure and publicity by the media. This lunatic is relishing the attention and the exposure the idiot media is giving him and knows what he is doing like the child laying on the floor holding his breath and thrashing about uncontrollably. Spend your time writing to these media conglomerates demanding that they stop putting this deranged imbecile in the spotlight he craves.
Oh, almost forgot. Why aren’t more ventilators available? Because Trump didn’t renew the maintenance contract, and now they don’t work:

OK, one more. Where in the US were people not quarantining in place? Jesusland, and other bright red states:

The State wide “stay at home” order for FL states tonight at midnight. Religious activities are exempt, but god forbid we let cruise ships dock. WWJD?
I’m pretty sure Jesus, if he were anything but the man he probably though not certainly was, would have stricken all these motherfuckers dead a long, long time ago.
Did I write that new unemployment claims could approach 5 mill today? How about 6.65 million claims? Maybe Mitch should stand down on his calling for Pelosi to stand down on a new stimulus package.
You can’t fix the Jayzuz, Jayzuz, Jayzuz people, the only problem is that while in the process of self extinguishing themselves their going to infect many more people. That and even while dying most will believe the great sky daddy will save or protect them. As for the supplies and equipment that are in short supply suggest we blame Capitalism and the insatiable greed of corporations, in Delaware it’s hard not to notice.
What I find most interesting is that Christianity is a sect of Judaism, which in Biblical times was a purity religion. How that evolved into a wackadoodle cult that believes in the laying on of hands would make an interesting study.

I watched for Appox 25 seconds, heard the whopper about oil prices and clicked it off
Just got word that there is an armed guard in full armor with a dog guarding the social security office in Lewes…WTF
Anyone know why homeland security is guarding the Lewes social security office that’s closed? They don’t have cash in there….Nothing in the news….Is it about to go down or something?
Damn, I wish someone knew what was going on at the social security office. Now my conspiracy theory imagination will conjure up some scenario like it has something to do with securing verified population numbers for impending absentee voting or something.
You know, making sure blue states aren’t cooking the books…lol.
go run at them at full speed with your hands in your pockets. see if they give you an answer.
No thanks, I’ve been at the other end of their guns before for stupid reasons.
This is again near the stupidest comment you have ever made…… The only evidence for voter fraud ever presented in the US is on the dopeycon side. Prove me wrong, dick….you should be up against the wall with the other dopey fox traitors.
Common meatball, it’s just light hearted shit talk in a sea of shit. The fact is that the Feds have posted guard at the social security office in Lewes, and that’s it.
Stay at home order or not I still expect cases in Florida to explode at some point, their cowardly governor (sound familiar?) has exempted “religious gatherings” from the order. The state is prime breeding ground for the virus with a huge amount of old people packed together in trailer parks and you just know the geezers will pack the churches, they always do.
Oh, what a shame. Bless their hearts.
The Federal Government has grossly failed the American people. It is long past time for the disgraced and impeached President to resign. He has repeatedly shown the inability to lead. The American people need to start demanding new leadership. Like three months ago.
people who answered “i do ” on the poll… you ok?
