Injection of Disinfectant – The 1 Billionth “Last Straw”
Last night, for a moment, I actually entertained the idea that this could be the last straw. I imagined that even the most ardent Trump supporters would say, “Okay, this guy is an idiot.” Then I realized that this straw is a weightless as all the millions of other straws that have been dumped on the camel’s back.
“So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just a very powerful light — and I think you said that hasn’t been checked because of the testing,” Trump said, speaking to Bryan during the briefing. “And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that, too.”
He added: “I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”
Not the Onion: Labradoodle breeder tapped to lead U.S. pandemic task force
Coons’ good buddy, Alex is a disaster.
Shortly after his televised comments [January 21 – “We developed a diagnostic test at the CDC, so we can confirm if somebody has this,” Azar said. “We will be spreading that diagnostic around the country so that we are able to do rapid testing on site.”] , Azar tapped a trusted aide with minimal public health experience to lead the agency’s day-to-day response to COVID-19. The aide, Brian Harrison, had joined the department after running a dog-breeding business for six years. Five sources say some officials in the White House derisively called him “the dog breeder.”
This shit is really fucking disgusting and disgusting shit heads like Coons facilitated it. Great fucking job, Coonsie.

“Are we at the beginning of the beginning or the end of the end of this thing?”
I was shocked to hear from a Republican who said that we were near the end of the economic strife caused by the Covid19 pandemic. The end?
I put us much closer to the beginning. Some laid off people stiff have paychecks in the pipeline coming in. The billions spent to keep “small businesses” afloat has been sucked up by large chain operators. Even if the virus has leveled off, I see at least 6 moths of economic misery before we get to the end of the middle.
Am I being pessimistic?
Joe Biden’s China Campaign Ad is Garbage
I’m not sure what team Biden is going for here. Other than possible trying to give Morning Joe some Morning Wood, I don’t see the point.
In Short: Joe would have been on the phone with China. Trump rolled over. Trump is a fucker who praised the Chinese. PRAISED THEM!! Did you know that? Trump sucks?
If you are a persuadable voter*, this ad with persuade you.

Delaware Small Businesses Screwed Over By PPP
Our congressional delegation BLOWS.
The $350 million emergency federal program to help small businesses reeling from the nationwide COVID-19 shutdown has been spent, and Delaware’s share was the smallest of the 50 states.
Delaware, with a population of 974,000, had a total of 1,974 approved SBA paycheck protection program loans through Monday, according to the SBA data, and the aggregate value was also the lowest of all 50 states.
In contrast, Hawaii, with a population of just 1,400,000 received 8,426 loans — four and a half times the number Delaware received.
Oh well. At least Coons still gets invited to all the best cocktail parties.

Fascists Hate Their Name
They want to pretend they’re Republicans, or patriots, or whatever label they prefer to what they are. They are fascists. Call them that, on every reference. I’ve been doing that for several days now and they really, really hate it. Calling them Nazis just rolls off their brown-shirted backs, but call them fascists and they […]
Ernest Hemingway on American Fascism
Because I took no books with me on what I thought would be a three-week trip to Paris and Barcelona, I’ve been passing the time by reading old books online. Over the past day I read Ernest Hemingway’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” his novel set in the Spanish Civil War. His protagonist, Robert Jordan, […]
Anthony Delcollo is Running as a Fascist This Year
Let’s cut the bullshit. Every Republican that remains a Republican today is a member of a fascist party. “States can’t do anything without the approval of the President of the United States.” Trump said it out loud yesterday and for a person like Delcolo (who fancies himself a constitutionalist) to continue to support Trump is […]
Song of the Day 4/10: Emma’s Revolution, “From a (Social) Distance”
Married couple Pat Humphries and Sandy Opatow formed Emma’s Revolution, named for activist Emma Goldman, in 2001 as a folk music project in the old folkie tradition, meaning social activism through music. They released this song, a parody of the 1990 Bette Midler hit, earlier this week.
Lessons from 2016 Debacle Shine Through Biden Statement on Sanders
Biden was quick to show that he was not going to repeat the mistakes of the abjectly horrible Hillary Clinton campaign.
And to your supporters I make the same commitment: I see you, I hear you, and I understand the urgency of what it is we have to get done in this country. I hope you will join us. You are more than welcome. You’re needed.
Together we will defeat Donald Trump. And when we do that, we’ll not only do the hard work of rebuilding this nation — we’ll transform it.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders To End Campaign
He is expected to make the announcement at 11:45 am. It’s up to us to make sure that his causes live on. More followups as they occur.
The Economy Won’t Go Back to ‘Normal’ Any Time Soon
Many conservatives seem to think that once we pass the peak of the pandemic, The Economy (Peace Be Upon It) will reopen and things will go back to “normal” so Trump can triumph. They fail to grasp that even once restrictions are lifted, a significant percentage of people will not go back to life as […]
