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?
