DL Open Thread: Saturday, July 25, 2020

Company Insiders Cash In On Vaccine Press Releases.  More proof the system, whatever the system is, is rigged.

Rethugs To Unemployed: “Drop Dead”.  Moscow Mitch is in no hurry.  Politics trumps helping people.  Something tells me the politics ain’t gonna look so good for the R’s come November, because this is what’s likely to happen.  Chances of defeating Putin’s favorite turtle are likely to increase, perhaps exponentially.

Small Businesses Bought Trump’s Con In 2016. They’re Not Buying It Any More.  The only way Trump can win is with massive fraud and voter suppression.  Which reminds me, people are asking the wrong question.  It’s not what Trump will do if he loses, it’s what Biden will do if yet another election is stolen.

Historic Political Tsunami Warning.  It might not happen, but, hey, it’s the weekend. Savor the possibility. 

Eviction Tsunami Could Hit Next Week.  What happens to all of those who could lose their housing through no fault of their own? Anyone have any plans?

Trump Seeks Conflagration In Portland.  It’s no longer about ‘defending’ monuments and public buildings.  Trump wants to recreate 1968 so that he can run a vintage Nixonian 1968 campaign. ‘Made For TV Fascism’ indeed. Thing is, all this is happening on Trump’s watch. The most evil man in American history. And he’s President.  Don’t be misled: The Portland police are co-conspirators, it’s just that the tear gas is coming from a different group of storm troopers now.

R Mizzou Governor In Crosshairs Of Medical Marijuana Scandal.  His D opponent’s mantra: “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”  Betcha his handling of Covid isn’t helping, either. In a political tsunami, this is the kind of incumbent who often gets swept from office.

What do you want to talk about?
