Poof!

A Second Shutdown

 

Josh Marshall
 
I had been working last night on a lengthy post, covering a range of topics, but with emphasis on the fact that we may be going back to a second shutdown because of how catastrophically we bungled the epidemic in this country. If this happens it will mean all the struggle and sacrifice of the Spring, along with at least a trillion dollars of crisis spending, will have been wasted.
It is easy to simply blame Trump, and to be sure he deserves the bulk of the blame. But Carney, Coons and every dumb, cowardly motherfucker who caved to the "open early for the economy" idiots owns a large share of the blame as well.

Donviti is dead, long live Donviti

Donviti, as you know him is dead.  Well, I’m dying.  I’m killing him at the conclusion of this totally incoherent post. I’m killing him like Republicans are killing our democracy…

Florida was a shithole state in the best of times

Now, with a malignant Trump loving Governor, Florida is the world champion of shithole states. How long until Haiti says "no, merci" to travelers from Florida? Trump still wants the big wet convention in that shithole. Sure. Why not? He can yell about "Democrat" governors keeping schools closed to make him look bad to a packed house of nit wits and confederacy buffs. Masks and hand washing will be banned in order to own the libs. So much winning.
