Ship of St(Hate)

You want to know how to slow down the coronavirus?

Test everyone.

Once you know who has it you can stop it.

This is not hard.

------------

Reagan, Dubya, and Trump all had the stock market crash at the end of their terms in office.

You know which modern-age presidents DIDN'T have a stock market crash at the ends of their time in office?
Go on, guess.

------------
Trump: "In a couple of days the number cases of coronavirus will be close to zero."

I never ever EVER want to hear a Republican demeaning the ACA by saying that Obama lied when he promised that "You can keep your doctor."

I mean fuck the GOP. Fuck all of em!

----------------

Funny how Republicans ran the House for eight years and never once tried to bring Joe Biden up on any kind of criminal charge. It's almost like.... they didn't have a reason to.

----------------

I thought all the stories about people rushing to hoard toilet paper was just a joke... until I went shopping yesterday and there was one roll left. One. No tissue, either. I left the roll sitting there as I wasn't going to be the guy that bought the last one.

Besides, if it comes down to it, I'll just wipe with my hand and mutter curses at the fates.

For the record, I used my car keys to punch out my debit card password. I was feeling smug about that idea until the guy behind me let out a big dry cough.

Arghh!

----------------

I was listening to Randi Rhodes today and her first caller was a guy from Texas who is convinced that the real culprit of the coronavirus pandemic is the media. The media caused it. The liberal media is ganging up on the Typhoid Tyrant because he's just tooooo coooool.

Yes, all those people dying in China, all those countries shutting everything down, all of this country's sports franchises saying "Smell ya later", they're all in on the con because they hate Husky Hitler. That's what Texas Boy believes.

This is Limbaugh's fault. This is Fox News' fault. This is Premiere Networks fault. This is the GOP's fault. This is t-Rump's fault. This is idiocy on a grand scale.

This Texas boy is going to be in for a big shock when he suddenly can't breathe and he goes to the hospital and they tell him to wait in his car until they can determine if it's the flu or the virus. And if it IS the virus they're going to send him home because there's no beds and no procedure to help him, and no test to see if it really IS COVID-19. And for about the zillionth time those health technicians are going to hear the same moronic statement: "But Trump said he's taking care of this."

So let's give a big hand to this country's doctors and nurses and a big fat "Fuck you!" to the insurance industry that will make certain a lot of people die.

Hey, Petty, Spiteful, Vengeful, Hateful Asshole of Adolf Hitler that occupies the White House. Jealousy got you the Presidency and keeps the Morons you have surrounded yourself with as well as your supporters engaged. Your hate and self love affair is making everything worse. Do you care? NOPE, but you should as it is effecting YOU!

Ahem, Okay, I have noticed that a lot of people you have had contact with the AH in Chief have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, the CoronaVirus responsible for the global pandemic of Covid-19, the most recent of which is Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro who spent the weekend at Mar-A-Lago, I am beginning to think tRump is a carrier, Look how many have self-quarantined excluding members of Congress (it's an excuse for a mini vacation) after contact with tRump.

NWBIH, Immunologist Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, testified before Congress on Thursday and said that “the system is not really geared to do what we are dealing with right now and that is a failing. … Let’s admit it.” This failure is brought on by lobbyists and their employers, the insurance companies, etc.

To all of the supporters of tRump and the definitely do nothing Repubs: Incoherent xenophobia isn’t quite as reassuring as you thought.

NWBIH

Where is the resistance?

Where is that brave doctor, nurse or orderly standing next to the PAB at a so called news conference who will step to the front and say "not so fast you fucking imbecile, that's not how science works". Just one could start a movement.

I am tired beyond belief at the refucks trying to pussy foot around trying to gently correct info while not offending his sensibilities. Somebody has to do their job. Maybe the surgeon general, perhaps?

I think me and the BGF are fairly smart.... but I do have 95 rolls of tp in the garage, 40 gallons of water and two weeks of meals.... just in case.

Also bought a case of vodka today... you know, if we get bored.

Curious what specific items others may be stockpiling if you are quarantined.

Compliment from yesterday? Thank you. For today; Trump has yet to learn there are situations where bribes and NDAs have no effect on the outcome.
Which group is likely to have more people too sick to vote? Those who wash their hands and otherwise act sensibly or the ones hiding behind walls of toilet paper and saying it's Obama's fault?

Lefty (mod)

Aww, we love eddi.

Wow, I beat Eddi!
