Plus, we all need a bit of a breather before Sula.LOL yes, but I changed it to Pelosi on her birthday and because I couldn't stomach Tula any longer.
Frequently, with any luck.

The evil in the north will be vanquished.
"They just really like racism" and "tribalism" are true but I think not sufficient to explain the kookiness of it all. It's not that Trump is just really evil. It's that he's a clown.
I think the blame for this actually falls on the less racist part of the party too. The problem is the Republican Party's opposition to expertise of any sort. On issue after issue, the party establishment wanted to do things that were generally against the interests of even their own voters, and to make this happen they had to persuade their voters that experts don't know what they're talking about. You can't sell these economic policies if people are listening to serious economists. You can't have people believing in climate change. You certainly don't want people to have an informed perspective on how other countries approach certain problems and how well their solutions have worked. The party establishment has promoted kooks for decades.
Now, there have always been populist kooks too. Creationists and so on. But where this has gone off the rails is that there is literally no serious policy apparatus in the Republican Party. There are "think tanks", but these are funded in order to promote specific policies, not to try to come up with new ideas -- the point is to generate intellectual-ish defenses of what the donors want to do anyway. There just aren't any Republican intellectuals anymore, because no one listened to them anyway and whenever someone pointed out how dumb one of the other things the party was doing was they got kicked out.
So fucked
Australia is under a 6mo mandatory lockdown from what I heard from a friend there.
Scott Morrison says gatherings in Australia will now be restricted to two people, down from 10, and there will be a six-month moratorium on evictions for commercial and residential tenants in financial distress because of the economic shock associated with the coronavirus outbreak.
The national cabinet has also tightened social distancing measures in an effort to contain community transmissions of the virus. The prime minister told reporters on Sunday night members of the same household could still mingle together both inside and outside, but a limit of two would be set for all other interactions, and the limits would be enforced by authorities in New South Wales and Victoria.
Underpinning the new limit on gatherings, public playgrounds, outside gyms and skateparks would be closed from Monday, and group boot camps are no longer permitted.
With the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases now heading towards 4,000, and 16 fatalities recorded, Morrison told reporters on Sunday night Australians now needed to stay home unless they were shopping for food and other essentials, attending medical appointments, exercising, or attending work or education.

The Justice Department has started to probe a series of stock transactions made by lawmakers ahead of the sharp market downturn stemming from the spread of coronavirus, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The inquiry, which is still in its early stages and being done in coordination with the Securities and Exchange Commission, has so far included outreach from the FBI to at least one lawmaker, Sen. Richard Burr, seeking information about the trades, according to one of the sources.
I have low expectations but I hope they get Burr and Loeffler.
Right. Complete isolation. Hazmat suits only.
Trumps been on camera multiple times saying h1n1 had like 12k deaths or something and that was a disaster. Any competent ad person knows what to do.i really think it would be a good idea for Biden to comment on Trump saying 200k Americans dying would be a good job whenever Pegasus frees him from the Yugioh card he is trapped in
What federal jurisdiction would that be under? Please tell me SDNY, because now we're having fun.
They'd never actually get prosecuted under a Trump administration, but Doug Jones could totally go for it so long as he nabbed up Feinstein at the same time for it to be fair.I have low expectations but I hope they get Burr and Loeffler.

To me, the lack of photographs of the hospitals and the mortal danger this virus poses has been a real failing from journalist and allowed too many Americans to brush off the danger.

“Major move by @GovWhitmer to allow Michigan jails that are not overcrowded to use statutory release mechanisms normally available when they are, and to suspend procedural requirements (i.e., delays). Nearly all jails are far too crowded to allow for social distancing. https://t.co/jsml6HlXQb”twitter.com

Even if it was true (and it isn't because he can absolutely do more to stop this shit), it's a case of saying something you should absolutely never ever say as a political leader. It's so fucking moronic and it would sink any Democrat immediately.Trying to BS his way out of 100,000 -200,000 deaths might work if it was some far off foreign war with a bunch of brown people dying.
But if you have 200,000 deaths on American soil in just 4 months with tens of millions infected fearing for their life, just about every American is going to know someone who was seriously ill or died. When shit hits the fan, the argument of "well there could have been even more shit" isn't going to bring comfort to a lot of people and it's hardly a winning argument for competency.
You can BS nebulous GDP numbers but not American deaths on American soil. And if we have 100,000+ deaths, it's not just going to be old people in blue states, you'll have millennials and people in red states making up a percentage of those deaths as well with many more infected fearing for their life or family member's.
