It’s too close to call the Presidential primary Washington. Usually I have some idea about who is going to win. The later ballots typically break for the more liberal candidate. But the remaining ballots to count are from it being a 2 person race, and a lot of the ballots that have been counted were cast when there more people running. So who knows?
In any case, please wash your hands right now.

Rita Rudner used to tell a joke about how the airlines shouldn’t charge people. They should just give them a ride, because they’re going there, anyway.

Boeing, down 26 bucks right now.
How sad for Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit’s family, trusting him the way they did.
Right about now is when Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit steps in to tell us
• how Boeing’s 4% dividend yield justifies continuing to hold the stock.
• even though Boeing has fallen by more than half in the last several months, it’s share price is still higher than when he bought it.
6,
These are not his best days, obvs.
Whatever he does seems somehow pre-figured to humiliate him later. He’s running out of “safe spaces” in which to troll his various concerns about “anyone but Trump”.
Seems like it was only yesterday that he was naked end-zone dancing about a 30,000 Dow. Wait. It was yesterday? Oy.
Haters act out, out of jealousy. He wishes he could be as cool and as great as #MayorPete. Sad.
He’s a Troll living a miserable existence and bitter about it, even had to get a horse for the horse. But that virus doesn’t give a shit who he is.

You mean he had no undies on beneath that cheerleading skirt. Ewww.

Imagine how widespread the epidemic must be in Iran right now.
Coronavirus: 77 of 165 Bahrain citizens evacuated from Iran test positive
Maybe these are upper-echelon people being evacuated. That might indicate that the Iranian spread is not as bad amongst the general citizenry, but upper-echelon Iranians probably got it, and got it bad.
The next revolution attempt might be the one that does the trick. If there’s anyone still alive to initiate it, I mean.

Moreover, it’s not as if the economic fortunes of Snohomish County’s largest employer, a 20 min ferry ride away, could possibly have any spill over into the south end of Island County where the largest local employer is the snack bar at Useless Bay.
Right about the time he discovers that he’s losing insurance on his trailer because the RFD has folded it will begin to dawn. But honestly, at that point his beloved RapeHero will be in protective custody at FCI Petersburg and he’ll be re-addicted to pain killers so he won’t care.

Moronic.
@5 Yes, very helpful, until the insurance company goes bankrupt when the claims exceed their assets.
You see, doc, the difference between private insurance companies and government is the latter can print money, the former can’t. The latter can bear expenses (e.g., fighting WW2) that no private company, or combination of private companies, can afford.
So, being the illogical sorts they are, the idiots of the right want to (1) privatize everything, (2) eliminate government, or (3) failing that, pass constitutional amendments and/or various other measures forcing government to balance its budget no matter what, and then (4) enact more tax cuts to destroy whatever government capacity to respond to financial or economic crises is still left.
Almost seems like they want society to collapse.
@ 24
Let’s be very clear on one thing: Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit does not own much anything. He has shared far, far too much over the years for anyone who has been observant to be swayed otherwise.
Know who doesn’t have to claim ad infinitum that he’s a millionaire? A real millionaire.
@6 “The racist incel sure loves to pick on people who are not running.”
Because it’s much easier than having to actually run things.
Now that we need a functioning government, the GOP’s experiment with treating government like playing with dolls, overseen by a cartoon president, is about to end.
I’m gonna continue to campaign for the Democrats’ nomination.
Bernie should at least stay in for the one-on-one debate. Odds are 3:1 that during it Creepy Joe will claim he’s running for mayor of hardscrabble Scranton, PA.
I’m going to die in prison!
@7 Wherein Dumbfuck announces he’s in favor of charging stranded passengers for grounded flights. Which is strange, because he doesn’t own any airline stocks in his 1-stock portfolio.
Speaking of which, VAR is down $7 to $113, from over $147 just last month (seems like a long time ago, now), which means — since VAR doesn’t pay a dividend — the Dumbfuck hasn’t made a penny on his dice roll since Jan. 24, 2018 (which really seems like a long time ago).
Meanwhile, my already sizable dividend income keeps getting bigger and bigger as I use that dividend income to scoop up ever cheaper stocks. In other words, my dividend income is feeding on itself like nuclear fission or a replicating virus.
According to the Federal Reserve Board, 40% of US adults don’t have enough set aside to cover an unexpected expense of $400.
I wonder if any of them are the ones bot-farm pussy relies on when he needs his next delivery of horse food.
Gloating over the misfortune of the “losers” is not nearly as much fun when you aren’t feeling well but you can’t get in to see the doctor because nobody is answering the phones.
I can’t really see it myself. But I suppose it’s possible that if gloating over the misfortunes of “losers” is all you have going for you it might seem worth it in the near term. Probably less so when you are drowning in your own fluids in an overcrowded and understaffed ER. Assuming you can even get there.
@33 Tough. You shoulda kept your pants zipped and your hands to yourself. I suggest you do that in your new environment unless you’d rather die sooner than later in there.
@32 “Odds are 3:1 that during it Creepy Joe will claim he’s running for mayor of hardscrabble Scranton, PA.”
Doesn’t matter. Come November, a critical mass of voters will decide he’s preferable to the miserable failure your party foolishly nominated, and then elected, in 2016, no matter how guilty Hunter Biden is, how many guns Biden will confiscate, or how many of Bernie’s socialist programs he signs into law. Mix in Trump’s ineffectual response to the actual crisis now unfolding and Joe could even get away with the creepiness that is your leader’s trademark. Hell, he could have a cerebral medical event tomorrow, leaving him unable to stutter, and he’d still be a shoo-in. By the time this coronavirus thing has run its course, voters will be ready to replace the incompetent carnival barker and amateur conspiracy theorist (“coronavirus is a Democrat hoax”) with a stuffed teddy bear if that’s all they can get.
Nothing matters anymore. You’ve hit the iceberg, and your Titanic is going to sink no matter what you do. The lack of a sufficient number of lifeboats for your crew is your problem.

@27 Yes, let’s move General Joffre’s office to a frontline trench, so he can appreciate what his troops are facing. If a shell gets him, why, we’ll put Corporal So-and-So* in charge of the army.

@24 Well, let’s not leave him guessing. Roger Rabbit bought Boeing stock in 2014 for $129 and sold it in 2019 for $370, and owns no Boeing stock. Also owns no GE stock. Does own stock of various drugmakers including AbbVie and Johnson & Johnson.

Where we see Dumbfuck is fine with some industries insisting on payment for services they are not contractually obligated to provide after payment for services.
Now that America is facing a real-life national emergency, and deluded Republican voters are waking up to the unpleasant reality that Trump is an incompetent and ineffectual Wizard of Oz, it’s too late for them to do anything about it. They’re stuck with him as their nominee. But they do have the option of voting for [ ] Creepy [ ] Sleepy (select one) Joe and then spending the next 4 years sweeping up the debris of their party and retooling for 2024 or 2028.

The coronavirus does not care how much money you make. People should not congregate, when possible.
The fight for equality should be tempered at times. Like when a pandemic exists and a demand for continued “equality” results in a greater number of people than necessary being exposed to it.
This is why I treat you the way I treat you. It’s because you repeatedly prove that you deserve it, The Fucking Moron II.
I’m waiting for Goldy to demand that the Federal government pay Tom Douglas restaurants so Tom Douglas can pay employees who have no reason to come to work.
@57. “The coronavirus does not care how much money you make.”
how about this. The goverment enacts emergency steep progressive taxes on the richest so it can afford to require EVERYONE stay home with enough money to cover basic bills, until this crisis has passed.
Since you care about people so much and other people’s money doesn’t matter.
@57. Oh i get it. You are afraid you might get sick if the goverment does not enforcing rules about groups of people.

closefamily member, who tolerates him, that works at Costco as an office worker.(riiing riiing) “Hi. I think I need to schedule an appointment. I just returned from two weeks of travel in Europe on business a last week and I’m running a temperature and I can’t stop coughing.”
“I see. Well, as of right now you don’t meet the guidelines for testing set by the Republican Party. So you should just stay home, wait to die, and say nice things about the economy.”
“Really? Okay. I’ve been exposed to hundreds of people at work and elsewhere at very close proximity and without any containment or protection since I returned from traveling. Is there any reason to be concerned about any of them?”
“Oh certainly. If you do in fact have the virus then it’s almost certain that you’ve spread it by incidental contact with at least eight to twelve of those people. And they’ve spread it in turn. But we won’t know until you are tested. And none of you can be tested because the White House has ordered no testing.”
“So should I contact my employer and warn them?”
“Maybe. I can’t say. That might be spreading panic. Or it might be a wise effort to contain the virus. But without testing it is impossible to know.”
“Um. Okay. Anything else I need to know?”
“Well actually, we’ll be closing the office a little later this week through at least the end of the month out of an abundance of caution. So if your symptoms get any worse just dial 911. You might get a busy signal. But stick with it. They have to answer eventually. Good luck!”

Texas’ first case of possible community spread of coronavirus highlights lack of testing
https://www.texastribune.org/2020/03/11/coronavirus-texas-community-spread-may-be-montgomery-county/
It doesn’t matter how many tests they gather, they can process 26 day.
There won’t be any stimulus package. You know that. And it has nothing at all to do with what’s in the package.
There’s simply no reason for House Democrats to give Trump a lifeline here unless they get something big for it. Probably something really big.
Assuming the economy eventually pulls out of it’s CPACvirus nose-dive, if it does so before November your RapeHero will claim all the credit. Giving him legislation enables that – encourages it really. Without legislation he’s relatively powerless and more importantly, there will be little in the way of actual policy accomplishments to point to. Any claims he makes are untethered and mostly meaningless. Something he has trained Americans to expect from him.
House Democrats can and would use this as an opportunity to extract big concessions. Concessions that RapeHero, Meadows, and Moscow Mitch would have to fight for fairly openly in order to bring DeathCult GOP Senators into the fold. But neither RapeHero nor Moscow Mitch can afford to do that in an election year when they face the possibility of losing the Senate.
So nothing happens. The economy does whatever the fuck it does. 30,000 continues to recede in your rear view mirror. And the impeached GOP RapeHero president gets to wear it around his neck forever.
And btw, so do you.
“There’s simply no reason for House Democrats to give Trump a lifeline”
At least not a destructive one like a social security killing payroll holiday that also will bite the next administration on the ass during tax time.
The House Democrats had some pretty good ideas however.
So did I.
@57 After posting @55 you’re in no position to call anyone else a “Fucking Moron.” (See @39 for details.)
@65 You’re right. I did tease Puddy about keeping his cash in a mattress when the market was going up 20% a year and cash was paying 1/10th of 1% a year. What were you doing with your money back then? Mattress or barn straw?
@68 “The House Democrats had some pretty good ideas however.”
The problem with those ideas is Trump and Trumpublicans have no interest in helping workers affected by this. Zero. Nada. Zip. None.

>> Only a 7.9% death rate. Just a little more than the flu. Doc say so.
68, 71,
Long before CPACvirus started filling Ted Cruz’ lungs with fluid and long before CPACvirus collapsed the Trumpconomy, Trump hand-picked the founder of the GOP Death Caucus responsible for multiple SHITDOWNS and the ousting of Boehner for lacking in ideological purity. The 2020 die is cast. The GOP expectation and plan was for no substantive legislation in 2020. And certainly nothing that would increase the deficit. Trump is an incompetent imbecile. Meadows is a political demagogue with absolutely no interest in governing. And any major capitulation by Schumer or Pelosi puts Sanders back in the race for delegates.
There will be no recovery legislation this year.
But if enough Democrats get elected in November it can certainly happen in early 2021. Which would be great for that newly inaugurated Democratic president and newly gaveled Senate Majority Leader. If they do it well it might even be enough to avoid a big wipeout in 2022 mids.
Senate GOP Blocks Emergency Paid Sick Leave Bill From Moving Forward

Comment: When you have public health experts warning the public not to listen to the President of the United States, it’s probably time to elect a different President of the United States.
Donald at White House just now,
“We’re having to fix the problem that four weeks ago nobody thought would be a problem.”
World Health Organization Four weeks ago +1 day
Exactly four weeks ago
Two weeks ago
Also 2 weeks ago.
How about this little gem:
“The White House has ordered federal health officials to treat top-level coronavirus meetings as classified, an unusual step that has restricted information and hampered the U.S. government’s response to the contagion, according to four Trump administration officials.
“The officials said that dozens of classified discussions about such topics as the scope of infections, quarantines and travel restrictions have been held since mid-January in a high-security meeting room at the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), a key player in the fight against the coronavirus.
“Staffers without security clearances, including government experts, were excluded from the interagency meetings, which included video conference calls, the sources said. ‘We had some very critical people who did not have security clearances who could not go,’ one official said. ‘These should not be classified meetings. It was unnecessary.’
“The sources said the National Security Council (NSC), which advises the president on security issues, ordered the classification. ‘This came directly from the White House,’ one official said.”
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/white-house-coronavirus-classified-meetings_n_5e69175ac5b60557280f95ca
Still, despite the tight security, it’s not hard to surmise what went on in those meetings. Perhaps something like this:
POTUS: How bad is this?
Expert 1: Very bad.
POTUS: How bad is “very” bad?
Expert 2: Really, really bad. Very, very bad.
POTUS: Any projections on civilian deaths?
Expert 3: Something akin to nuclear war.
POTUS: What’s the toilet paper situation?
Expert 4: We have about 2-3 weeks before the stores are sold out; sooner if the public gets wind.
POTUS: No, I meant here. In the White House. The White House. And Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago.
Expert 4: There’s 3 rolls in the privy off the Oval Office, 8 in the living quarters upstairs, and 80 in the various staff restrooms and storage closets. That’s here in the White House. I don’t know about Trump Tower or Mar-a-Lago.
POTUS: Okay, move the 80 rolls upstairs, and send somebody out to the local stores to buy all you can get and take it upstairs. All you can get. Also hand sanitizer. Buy lots and lots of hand sanitizer. Buy all of it. Don’t worry about buying too much; I’ll have it sent to New York and Mar-a-Lago. Put it on the office expense account, not my personal account. Including the stuff going to New York and Mar-a-Lago. Specifically, that stuff also goes on the Office of the President expense account. Understood? Questions? Good, meeting’s adjourned. I have to make calls to New York and Florida.
No, the only way to fix the problems is to elect a new President, and until then force him to deal with the issue.
Tell Ivanka, Jared, Melania, Donnie Jr., retard Eric and the other that they are an embarrassment to this Country and to go live in Russia, where they belong. Oh and take fucking Bob with them.

Demorat Pornstar Party Of Hate America & Open Borders For Epidemics Bombshell News – Demorats Demand End To Travel Bans, No Discrimination Against Undocumented Virus; Nancy Pelosi (D- Hysterical Dingbat Speech-Ripping Loon) Explains, “We need to stop these travel bans and import enough coronavirus to crash the economy and beat Trump.”
——————
The “No Ban Act,” introduced by Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) and co-sponsored by 219 House Democrats, would have prevented Trump from immediately implementing a travel ban on China once the outbreak of the coronavirus spread past its origins of Wuhan.
Instead, the No Ban Act would have allowed travelers from Wuhan to continue to arrive in the U.S. while the president received guidance from Congress.
“This bill imposes limitations on the President’s authority to suspend or restrict aliens from entering the United States and terminates certain presidential actions implementing such restrictions,” a summary of the legislation reads.

I don’t know about Faceboook, I don’t go on it that much to see the ads, but Google ads have to be worse than the Facebook Propaganda.
I think those ads are targeted to the user, but I go on DU website, and there is a very old picture of Nancy Pelosi seated at a table signing a piece of legislation with a bunch of Dem pols, one of which is Barney Frank. It is a very old picture. It has the caption of “New Bill Passed for Homeowners”
You would think that it is a positive thing, but it struck me as very offensive. The reason I was offended is because we are currently going thru a bit of a crisis with the virus and the stock market, and there is a picture of all the Dems smiling. And I thought odd, so happy in a time of such fright.
Well – I think that is the intent of the ad. I think the intent of the ad, even the the target is the Dem “audience”, is to give a negative impression.
I live a few blocks from Google’s NYC HQ. I find Google to be so offensive. I really dislike Google. Aren’t the founders or one of the Founders Russian.

And we’ve also heard very little about those that got better but tested positive again afterwards – I think the figure was 20%. I think the only reason why we haven’t heard mor about it here is that probably very few have recovered until just recently and haven’t retested.
Dumbfuck is getting his wish.
He gets the statistics he craves though the symptom isn’t what he’ll claim.
Seattle restaurants are closing, some forever and some temporarily due to massive drop in business as people work from home and stop gathering.
I’ll miss Local 360. It was solid and somewhat reasonably priced for Belltown.
Still tastes like bullshit.
Stinks to high heaven – like pigshit..
Oh shit.

Seems like an incompetent policy, unconvincingly delivered by a known imbecile isn’t going over well.
@89 Nice way to troll legislation aimed at outlawing Trump’s discriminatory anti-Muslim travel ban, moron. Has nothing to do with COVID-19. That legislation was proposed over a year ago.
@97 The Seattle Times had a front page article today about Evergreen Hospital that was talking up their patients who’ve recovered from COVID-19 and gone home. 18 of them, I think. Also, news media have been saying most people have only mild symptoms and don’t require hospitalization (although also pointing out the fatality rate is much higher than ordinary flu).
@57 “The fight for equality should be tempered at times. ”
Is this the latest rightwing-talking-point excuse for perpetuating gross inequality created by an economic system rigged in favor of those who can afford to pay lobbyists and buy politicians?
Just talked to a relative in a red state who says preppers there are stealing toilet paper from shoppers’ grocery carts in parking lots.
MAGA!!!!!!
@80 You forgot to mention Erik Prince, who’s recruiting and training ex-spies to “work” for James O’Keefe.
So the stock market is officially a bear market?
End of the 11 year bull market.. On repukelican watch…
Heh. Got a feeling some head up its ass idiot will blame it on the black guy..
Or Hillary.. Or Bill.. Or Hunter Biden.. whatevs…
@100
I can say this kind of thing knowing that my holdings generally are way way higher than when I bought them still and I’m not near retirement age.
@57 “The fight for equality should be tempered at times. ”
The racist incel apparently thinks that all people are equal, but some are more equal than others.
If the office workers should stay home, the warehouses should be closed too so the warehouse workers can stay home. Right?
@93 “Please people come together.”
No! Bad advice! Stay away! At least 6 feet away!
This is like Vietnam again. Maintain your intervals, no bunching up, so the incoming mortar rounds can get only one of you at a time.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned yet the really big news of the day, to wit, Alex Jones of InfoWars got into a fight with his wife,* stormed out of the house, and she called the cops and told them he was drunk and they busted him for DUI down the street and he spent the night in the pokey. No telling what germs he was exposed to in the drunk tank.
* The police report refers to the 911 caller as his “wife,” but Jones is divorced, and according to a news report, “it’s unclear who this woman is.”
@107 The market has gone through many, many, many declines before. Somehow stocks always manage to set new highs after corrections blow over. And they’re always over, sooner or later. As a Wall Street wag once said, “The world doesn’t end all that often.” Now, if the world really did end, for example if an asteroid hit it and blew it into little pieces, creating another asteroid belt around the sun where this planet used to be, then I suppose stocks wouldn’t come back.
GOP president RageTweet commands it:
In a flop-sweating public address broadcast from behind the Resolute Desk, the-dumbest-man-in-the-world announced that all craptastic private health insurance co-pays would be swept away for COVID-19 treatment.
News to the insurance companies, who immediately clapped back saying hell-the-fuck-NO. Testing only. Maybe. Meh.
I need you to do me a favor. MAKE IT SO!
@112 Reminds me of when Gov. Spellman, Washington’s last GOP governor, asked mortgage companies to let state employees make their payments late and waive the late fees when he withheld their paychecks so the state could earn interest on the money owed to them for their work back in 1981 during the Reagan Depression. My mortgage lender laughed in my face when I asked them about it.
Little noticed amidst today’s news cacophony: Joe Biden has overtaken Bernie Sanders in Washington’s primary.
Latest numbers from WA SoS website:
Biden – 408,083, 35.01%
Sanders – 391,880, 33.62%
Biden leads in King County, too:
Biden – 150,517, 34.99%
Sanders – 146,021, 33.95%
So I follow the NBA lightly, weekly glances at standings, game or two
Depending on matchup on the teevee. I was like that before the Sonics
were given to Donald Sterling as a bargaining chip for millions of dollarsmoved.But I’ve seen footage now of Utah Jazz Center Rudy Gobert Hi-lariously rubbing his hands on all the mics after being asked about empty arena possibility after Monday night’s game against Toronto.
You know what’s coming.
Rudy Gobert is the player who tested positive for the virus causing the NBA to suspend the season.
Gobert had 6pts, 4 reb, 32 minutes vs Toronto
10pts, 12reb, 35 minutes Saturday @ Detroit
9pts, 7reb, 33mins Friday @ Boston
18pts, 14reb, 34 minutes last Wednesday @ Knicks
So, with the season suspended, will NBA players get paid?
If not, will they be eligible for federal child care assistance money?
Seems to me, if they’re not playing, they can watch their kids themselves and don’t need paid babysitters/mistresses.
Well, maybe still paid mistresses.
@116
It’s my understanding listening to some sportball talk (and man they are full of “It’s jusT the flu” hot takes) over the last couple days if the league cancels games the CBA says they still get paid.
But does “The Brick” “Vinnie the Virus” or “JockMitch on WFAN” really know what’s written in the CBA?
Donald “All travel from Europe, DONE!”
Correction after by Administration, “Well not all. Still imports and maybe U.S. Citizens and probably England are OK.”
Donald, “Insurance companies have agreed to wave copays for testing and treatment.”
Insurance industry, “Wait what? Last time we talked to you was like three days ago and you didn’t even ask.”
I mean I know how THIS administration is incompetent but how does ANY Administration give a break into prime time address on a National crisis and not have the basic facts locked down? And he was CLEARLY reading the teleprompter so this wasn’t a mistake off the cuff.
They went out there with bullshit. Pure bullshit.
Who prepared the talking points?
The lack of testing of this virus is deliberate. This Administration wants many dead.
@116 not sure. But all that matters is that those amateurs athlete STUDENTS get a gig and a piece of that action.

Republicans have never enjoyed a calm moment since red-lining was eliminated.
But now, thanks largely to FOX, GOP RapeHero supporters are equating that support with downplaying risks of COVID-19. Given how competitive these people are with one another in displaying their overflowing of love and devotion to his Orange Imbecility some new health advisories are now in effect:
– While they will remain open no one should even stop their car in the parking lot of any Cracker Barrel
– Antifa who anticipate protest encounters with ProudBoys and Patriot Prayer Network are advised that black droplet protective scrubs, gowns, hoods, masks, goggles, and gloves are now available in a special Amazon Store
– Future GOP rallies are to be held in large event tents which will be incinerated on site immediately afterward
– Urban hipsters are strongly cautioned that despite being playfully ironic, the “vintage” Sansabelt polyester slacks discarded in bulk from nursing homes can harbor viable viral particles for up to 21 days
– Uber and Lyft are implementing a temporary change in policy allowing drivers to cancel-on-sight ride requests from anyone wearing a Red trucker hat
– Clinton and Coupeville ferry terminals and Deception Pass bridge are closed until further notice

Your family cannot afford you, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.
All those cheap stocks you claimed to have scooped up with your pittance ? How are your investments looking now?
Oh. Yeah. I almost forgot. You’re now even further from being a millionaire, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit. Although to the extent that you might be a capitalist, that means bearing some pain on the downside of those formerly rising curves.
This next one won’t be a catheter. And it won’t be lubricated.
@ 116
If not, will they be eligible for federal child care assistance money?
Only if they
• acknowledged paternity without lawyers involved
• know the last name(s) of the baby mama(s)
It’s The Hunter Biden rule.
The Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit household has suffered great financial distress, and has been forced to cancel the eagerly anticipated annual family summer vacation to The Old Spaghetti Factory.
The racist incel is especially bitter and angry today. Vomiting his hate fantasies, enraged by liberals and black men who have more money than him.
Speaking of Hunter Biden and attorneys forcing compliance:
The wrong Biden son died. The one who lived will take down Creepy Joe. Bernie doesn’t have the balls to do it, so someone else will.
@ 128
…more money than he.
Nah. Puddy’s not the only one who kept money in cash. And one of the nice things about working PT, and liking your job, during retirement is that there’s always more money coming in.
Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit claims to be a capitalist, but what he doesn’t understand is that capitalism is a grift, unless there’s more money coming in to support the downturn periods.
So Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit has been grifted by his own greed and stupidity. I feel badly for his family.
Consider Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit’s predicament:
• He cannot afford his own digital subscription to Barron’s.
• Each day of late the market rises or falls as much as 9% or so.
• His usual habit is to trudge to the public
toiletlibrary on Saturday afternoons each week, dragging his filthy catheters on the ground behind him, so that he can learn one day later than everyone else what Barron’s makes available to subscribers early Friday morning, before trading opens.• Putting his grimy fingers on the pages of the Barron’s newspaper copy that other grimy fingers attached to similarly aging, unhealthy, poor schmucks have spent a day and a half touching at a public library used by the homeless to while away daytime hours, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit risks infecting his family with coronavirus at the same time his method of investment research increasingly damages his family’s financial future.
Quite the predicament. Now I feel even more badly for Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit’s family.
Breakers thrown after another massive economy shattering drop and bot-farm pussy thinks he can save Trump with BillyBeerSmear.
Useful question: bot-farm pussy has been consistently wrong about the CPACvirus calamity, wrong about the Trumpconomy, wrong about TrumpWhistleblower, wrong about the stock market, wrong about the Republican Party, wrong about impeachment, wrong about Russian interference, wrong about Associate Justice GangRape, wrong about 2018 midterms, wrong about Roger Stone, wrong about UkrainiumOne, etc. etc. etc. Has he ever been right even once about anything?
He snarks all day long about all sorts of things, usually with a Boat-Full-O-Dildos source. And it always turns out wrong.
Would it not be useful at this point to simply adopt a bot-farm pussy rule that we assume bullshit until verified by an independent source, and then otherwise ignore the bot-farm pussy except and only in order to mock and humiliate? Seems reasonable. At this point, to a real extent, lives are at stake. It would be imprudent and irresponsible to respond any other way.
A Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit core holding, Boeing, has tumbled another 21 bucks, or 11%, in trading so far today.
His family has lost half of Boeing’s value in less than a year, but Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit chooses to regale us all with the interpretation that he still has a positive return on his invested capital. And the dividend! Which might not be slashed for another whole 60 days.
If Mrs. Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit is listening, you are complicit, dear. You permitted and enabled his behavior. You’re Katie Couric to Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit’s Matt Lauer. OK, maybe not the best comparison, because Lauer can get it up.

@130 So now you’re an English teacher, too?
Well, it’s nice to know there’s at least one Republican in America who can spell “he.” It’s not much, but it’s a start.
@131 The problem with your thesis is that the sooner you find out what’s going on in this market, the worse off you are. Like the poor sap who used to brag here about placing his puts and calls — i.e., timing the market at 30-second intervals. Which, in this day and age of high-speed trading, is invariably 29.9999999999999999999999999999999 seconds too late. As for me, I just kick back, wait ’til the dust settles, view the wreckage, then pick through the pots and pans and keep the ones that are still serviceable. Works fine.
You see, doc, the trick to playing this market is not to run even faster, but to slow down.
In July Restaurants Unlimited filed for Chapter 11 bankrupcty.
Today I received an email from Palisade, begging me to show up before March 31 and offering me 20 bucks off in order to do it.
Nope. Ain’t gonna do it. Besides, I heard @ 123 that the ferries and Deception Pass bridge are closed, so the trip would be a challenge. Someone should tell Palisade to send the coupon to Goldy. After the ass-fucking the Seattle restaurants have suffered from the Fight for $15!, the least Goldy could do is pay for part of the carnage he helped create.
bot-farm pussy claims to have been right about something?
Every single cent it made (not earned) during eight years of “suffering” under the “tyranny” of the “Kenyan Born” two-term overwhelming popular Democrat, it has given back in just three years of “MAGA”, “Grab ’em by the pussy” and Guatemalan Toddler Torture.

The election on November 3 coincides with when hardworking formerly middle class Americans will be opening and reading their October 401(k) statements.

Thanks to delays ordered by bot-farm pussy’s favorite president, there is now exactly one private lab up and running with COVID-19 testing.
CDC as of this week so far has processed 77 tests at its facility.
State run labs are averaging 50 tests per day.
The next private lab able to be up and running is expected to be no sooner than the 16th.

@158 Of course you will. Again. That’s how we got here.
By “here” I mean a candidate who hasn’t been elected yet standing up and doing Trump’s job for him, because Trump doesn’t know how.
Moscow Mitch just announced he’s going ahead with Senate recess and will not be taking up any CPACvirus response legislation at this time. Not enough “information” for his member to “act”.
With positive tests and multiple uncontrolled exposures now cropping up within Congress and its staff, there is some speculation that the Senate may not reconvene at any time in the near future.
Trump: “Go on Cruz. Chop it’s head off”
Brave Sir Cruz: “Right. Silly little bleeder. One virus stew coming right up!”
Senate: “Look! Jeeezus Christ!”
Moscow Mitch: “Run away! Run away!”
Once we get a handle on all the piles of dead old people, it should make for a delightful musical comedy!
@159 Wherein Dumbfuck advocates market timing and day trading. I suppose you can do that without a lot of stress when your investment account consists of 1 share of stock worth … gee, what is it worth now? About what it was worth when he voted for Trump, or pretty close to that. And no dividends, tsk, tsk.

@173 Biden looked and sounded presidential today. In fact, if you didn’t know otherwise, you’d have assumed he is the president. I’m sure this wasn’t lost on Trump’s campaign team. In fact, I know it wasn’t:
https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/12/politics/donald-trump-joe-biden-mental-fitness/index.html
Biden: “We’re Americans. We’ll get through this together.”
Trump: “Sleepy Joe doesn’t know where he is, or what he’s doing.”
Voters: “What the — ?” (shaking heads in disbelief)
I have a feeling this isn’t going to turn out well for the GOP.
@174. I caught most of Biden’s speech.. Yes he stuttered a bit, but it was presidential. he keeps that up and people will have no problem voting for him in the fall.
Regardless of the lies the republicans spread.
164,
Judging by similar past events, which thanks to the GOP there have been a few, when his margin accounts are under assault he hasn’t got time for trolling.
His incessant presence here today is evidence that some of those accounts have been closed and the rest he is writing off. Much like the way he wrote off sacrificing the twenty most fuckable years of his youth in exchange for 80 hour weeks at below min wage debriding the taint scabs of Medicare patients. But that white coat!

UPDATE: POTUS initially said in his coronavirus address that insurers “agreed to waive all copayments for coronavirus treatments.”
A White House spokesperson has clarified that copayments will only be waived for testing
169,
Man, bad luck just follows you around, doesn’t it?
Well, at least we know what he has to be so “aggrieved” about.
Maybe if he’d been a more supportive brother or son the addiction and suicides might have been avoided. Maybe if he’d lived up to his father’s demanding expectations when he was younger the disappointments and resulting domestic turmoil might not have driven them all to substance abuse and self-annihilation through unhealthy lifestyle.
But it must be too painful to face those choices. So blaming the youngs, the poors, the browns, and the vaginas will have to do. By this time next year he’ll certainly be blaming them for his CPACvirus financial loses.
A White House spokesperson has clarified that copayments will only be waived for testing

No? Well, just leave it up to the Democratic state governors to clear up the confusion. Red states are all on Medicaid anyway.

Been watching too much PBS since your kids canceled your access to their Netflix accounts.
Here in the United States we feed on our own kills.
And since the CPACvirus closed your margin accounts you don’t even look worth a second glance.
And a handsome bluff it was, for the hour or two that it lasted.
Meadows remains quarantined in CPACvirus DeathWatch. Leaving Mnuchin as the only older white man in America healthy enough to work on economic stimulus. And his GOP Senate DeathCaucus track record is not too impressive.
Honestly, it would have been so much better for the Senate GOP to be “unavailable” to take his calls. Now they have to take them and still tell him to fuck off.
To all outward opinions Pelosi has done her job. Since Moscow Mitch’s latest brilliant plan isn’t working out, he’ll have to play for time and pray for a miracle while each day the market drops, the breakers trip, and the bodies pile up.
Whither Collins, Gardner, Tillis, McSally, Ernst, and Perdue?
Permanent vacation.

Metropolitan Grill just sent a BOGO offer. Now, during the winter season this traditionally has been a buy two, get two offer, meaning you’d have to find another couple to come along and then somehow make the freebie part at the end of the meal when the bill is presented still look cool.
But now you just have to show up on a Sunday through Thursday with a date. Through April 15.
There still are those of y’all HA libbies who can’t take advantage. For instance:

• Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, who can’t afford a subscription to Barron’s, much less a $60 steak.
• YLB, who needs someone else to take her so she can get the free meal, and whomever takes her has to deal with a stupid liberal bitch’s conversation for two hours.
• Goldy, who was banned from the premises after trying to be seated while wearing a sweater that really looks like an ordinary sweatshirt, and then raising a stink when he was denied entry.

Republicans are opposing paid sick leave and holding up free coronavirus testing over abortion
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/3/12/1926856/-Republicans-are-opposing-paid-sick-leave-and-holding-up-free-coronavirus-testing-over-abortion
The issue at play, abortion-wise, is that Republicans want to add anti-abortion language to the bill.
Seems the republicans don’t want paid sick leave and are using abortion as the excuse not to fund it.
“So Democrats called for funding to cover laboratory costs of testing for coronavirus, and Republicans said no, because it would set a precedent that the federal government could spend money on health care without explicitly excluding abortion? ”
The middle of a pandemic is one hell of a time to be inserting poison pills into an amendment, and then claim that Democrats are trying to politicize the response.
But the racist incel laps it up.

You’ve pretended since 2014 that the Teapublican Freedumb Revolution was no big deal (try telling that to Spreading Santorum). You’ve personally exhausted your good hand jerking off to the Moscow Mitch poster above your bunk beds. Now thanks to three years of pretending it would all work itself out if only you could just beat up enough Guatemalan Toddlers you’ve made yourselves a FREEDUMB BONER that you can’t tweet away. You’ve spent most of your days for the last three years propping up Teh Stoopid.
Now Teh Stoopid is all you have.
Pelosi did her job. Now it’s up to Republicans to fail to do theirs.
And you know they will. Right in front of every single American voter. That’s really why there’s never been an actual Senate Freedumb Caucus. Who the fuck needs a caucus when the rules allow a single member to shit the bed. Even without the Hastert Rule, there is nothing Moscow Mitch can possibly do to get every single Republican in the Senate to care enough about his majority to save it.
191,
Highly questionable Boat-Full-O-Dildos source aside,
why wouldn’t the speaker include Hyde repeal?
This shit isn’t country club tennis. You fucked yourselves (and every American over 70 who ever smoked, which lets face it, is pretty much all of them) in a major election year with your future as a political party on the line.
And now you need Democrats to throw you a life ring? Okay. But you don’t get to dictate how far you have to swim to get it.
@ 194
The issue at play, abortion-wise, is that Republicans want to add anti-abortion language to the bill.
See @ 191. You have it backwards. The issue is that Democrats want to use the bill to pay for abortion.
Can’t you just sit back and hope that the coronavirus is an abortifacient?
@188 You didn’t watch your own video link, did you? Figures.

@201 Try her for a Trump endorsement. Maybe there’s an opening there.
“Senators are expected to leave Washington on Thursday without striking an agreement on a crucial surveillance law, setting the stage for various national security provisions to expire on Sunday.
“The Senate debate collapsed over whether to give some concessions to the law’s critics, such as votes on their amendments to the bill overhauling the surveillance law, or to pass a temporary extension providing more time to negotiate.
“The Senate leadership hoped to vote on the bill as soon as Thursday and pledged that if the authorities lapsed it would only be for a short period. But its critics, including Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Mike Lee of Utah, argued that the changes didn’t go far enough to fix the surveillance law known as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA.
“‘Senate Republican leaders are trying to ram through fake FISA amendments without any real changes,’ Paul tweeted. ‘I will object. I continue to stand with @realDonaldTrump in his reservations to this bill.’
“Lee asked for unanimous consent for a 45-day FISA extension. Sen. Richard Burr, the chairman of the Intelligence committee, objected. ‘I’ll let us go dark,’ the North Carolina Republican said ….”

Doesn’t appear to be any Democrats involved in this spat. It’s what police officers call “a domestic.” They hate those calls.
But another improbable sticking point has emerged: Republicans are trying to insert abortion restrictions into the emergency bill. The Republicans want to include the Hyde amendment, which would bar the use of federal funds for abortions,
As usual the racist incel is lying
Damn you $15 minimum wage!

Doesn’t appear to be any Democrats involved in this spat.
Fair to say that, like any good neighbor concerned about all the shouting, slamming doors, and threats, House Democrats tried their best to offer the failing spouses a way to settle their difference that didn’t result in piles of dead bodies. But too much cheap malt liquor, crushed pills, and Lee Greenwood music got in the way.
However much they neeeeeeed a way to blame this on somebody else, they did this to themselves. Too much irresponsible partying with the wrong Tiki Torch wielding crowd. And too much “curiosity” about “new experiences” outside the marriage.
bot-farm pussy knows all about that.
Ain’t it funny now how the corp media approved narrative for 2020 was going to be all about “Democratic disunity”. Now not even half way through March and the Democrats appear to have united against America’s common foes, be they COVID-19 or Tiki Torch wielding Repubicans chanting anti-Semitism. While a Republican Party strained to the breaking point over “Grab ’em by the pussy”, GangRape and impeachment are now cracking apart over spending to rescue the economy.
Do battered wives of Maine think Susan Collins deserves another chance? Not really.
@205 Yeah, a highly contagious and untreatable pandemic virus that kills 3.5% of the people it infects had absolutely nothing to do with it. But for the $15 minimum wage and 13th Amendment, those restaurants would still be open, despite having no customers.
Dumbfuck finally went off the deep deep end today. Looked at his stock account (VAR -7.78% on the day) and went stark, raving, lunatic-craaazeeeeeeeeeee!!! Stripped off his clothes and ran out to the barn whooping and hollering like a werewolf.

The racist incel is a liar. As usual. He complains “From the Department of Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste:” and then he flogs the $15 dollar an hour raise for workers for economic hardship caused by COVID-19.
He accuses innocent others of doing what he’s guilty of doing.
Imagine being the poor innocent house keeper who has to clean that disgusting fat motherfucker’s bathroom four times a day.
Now, knowing that there’s a decent chance he’s a festering pool of viral filth and that you might be dragging the deadly CPACvirus home to your family, do you even show up?

“Flogging the crisis” is really about the only good any of us can do, beyond staying home, washing our hands and taking our temperatures.
House Democrats sat down immediately and set to work on life saving legislation and got it done in record time.
Senate Rapepublicans got into a family food fight and ran to their Twitter accounts.
And Trump is turning the White House into a fucking Petri dish.
We can’t make these people behave responsibly. But when they respond by acting like infants we have a moral obligation to make that fact known far and wide.
After all, if Real Americans hadn’t “flogged the crisis” over night the Rapepublican Senate would already be on vacation.
Metropolitan Grill just sent a BOGO offer.
dimfuk is too stooopid.. Smart people prepare their own steak with all the trimmings…
It doesn’t take that much time and it’s way cheaper..
Plenty of yt vids show those not in the know exactly what to do..
How many thousands of dollars has dimfuk pissed away at fancy ass steakhouses? what a pitiful dumbass.
Isn’t Palisades and the other restaurants on that list rather pricey?Why aren’t the richest spending their wealth and keeping those restaurants float? Is the racist incel expecting the minimum wagers to make up the difference?
@205
Took just under 24 hours for Dumbfuck to take the bait.
see @98
215,
To me that Met BOGO post was the quintessential mark of a truly unsophisticated failure of an eater.
It’s a steak, motherfucker. Once upon a time, not really all that long ago it was actually a little hard to get your hands on a really fine filet with good flavor and good marbling. But it doesn’t take too many decades of computer tracked genetic herd management, frozen bull sperm brokering, and advance feeding science to make a Costco steak as good as most cuts at any restaurant. My little neighborhood family grocer has Kobe and they can special order Wagyu. But these days all anybody needs is a Costco card or a reasonably good local butcher.
And cooking a steak is dead simple shit. If you want perfection out of the box without any training or prior experience just get an immersion cooker and a SEARZALL Pretty good chance that’s how your Met steak is being prepared right now.
As a truly great man once said “If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.” And honestly if you can make a fist you can make a steak.

So why the fuck do you give up your precious time to go out and order something so entirely pedestrian and simple that any common Dad-bro with a backwards MAGA hat could buy it and prepare it behind his trailer the same night? You’re dining out, fer fuck’s sake. Make it an event. Go long, Try the sweet breads, hagfish, or maybe even the uni. God hates a coward.
Make those motherfuckers work for it. Order something challenging to prepare that you would never even be able to buy much less prepare at home. That’s why Jesus invented restaurants.
Going out to order steak and salad is not just cowardly. It’s a total failure.

@222 Looks like @219/221 is terrified of Biden, and well it should be, because to the average American, Biden has looked a lot more presidential than Trump in the last 24 hours.
Republicans point out that Biden is even older than Trump. Yes, about 77 years older, if measured in maturity.

The progressive, enlightened world of modernity has been calling out to these idiots for five decades, beckoning them away from this precipice. Now comes the free fall which should last about eight months. Followed by the tiny orange puff of dust in November.

Dumb ^ fuck: 1. A dumb person in general. 2. A dumb person who thinks he’s smart. 3. An extravagant dumb person who makes fun of thrift, e.g. criticizes someone else for reading Barrons in the public library to save $5 and then spends $60 on a steak dinner.
@218
It’s actually still hard for a home chef to perfect dry aging without spoilage. Takes some investment in the right kind of refrigeration too.
Also it’s like buying insurance. If you buy a really really good steak and right about when it needs to come off and rest is when the kid needed something or you were focused on chopping the salad and it gets overcooked. Your fault. Can’t send it back.
Not that I can’t cook a perfect steak 9 times out of 10 but sometimes having someone else do it for me while I relax is worth the money. And putting together perfect creamed spinach and totally smooth mashed potatoes is a full 3-4 hours worth of work at home and shopping.
Went to my local favorite Chinese today. Not a vegetarian but their MaPo Tofu is really something. I was literally the only customer the whole time.
We’re going to lose a lot of places but wage has very little to do with it. SLU is a ghost town right now and places that were just getting their rhythm dealing with tech bro tastes are hurting. In another couple weeks some of them without money coming in will run out of cash and credit to buy food and then what have you got? Tables and chairs at auction.
Literally no one but Dumbfuck will look at the restaurant death toll and say $15 killed them! They worked from home for a couple months and everyone they eat with did too.

Minimum wage was not mentioned as an issue.
235,
There will be ripple effects. All events canceled or canceling. Campuses going online. Television and motion picture productions shut down. Travel and overnight stays canceled. Big household purchases put off for a year.
And what people are going to figure out this week and into next is that doing all this, if it works, does not shorten the span of the infectious event or really even reduce the number of infections. If this works we avoid being Italy where docs and nurses are choosing who lives and dies by the allocation of scarce treatment resources. If this works we avoid a rapid rise in rate that overwhelms the hospital system. By slowing down the rate we prolong the event. If this works we get 12 weeks of slowly increasing new cases instead of 6. And we get 12 weeks of declining cases on the other side.
Everybody who needs one gets a ventilator. But to make that happen we go through six months of economic calamity instead of just three. A half year without paychecks for 1 in 5 workers. Landlords and developers who default on loans. Retailers who cut holiday orders in half. Suppliers who cut orders and close factories and shipping centers. It’s going to be a big hole. And it will be a while climbing out.
Deadly green fog of CPACvirus continuing to creep through the halls of Rapepublican power.
Vanky and Barr are the next two victims of the GOPlague contagion.
Of course, and as always, more thoughts and prayers. Natch.

Trump administration blocks states from using Medicaid to respond to coronavirus crisis
https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-03-13/trump-administration-blocks-states-use-medicaid-respond-coronavirus-crisis
One reason federal health officials have not acted appears to be President Trump’s reluctance to declare a national emergency. That’s a key step that would clear the way for states to get Medicaid waivers to more nimbly tackle coronavirus, but it would conflict with Trump’s repeated efforts to downplay the seriousness of the epidemic.
Another element may be ideological: The administration official who oversees Medicaid, Seema Verma, head of the government’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, has been a champion of efforts by conservative states to trim the number of people enrolled in Medicaid.
Vote accordingly in November.
240,
At this point any fair assessment of the administration response must conclude that it has been their intention to pursue a coordinated policy at the federal level to push the epidemic in the United States toward the shortest duration with minimal impact on the wider economy, but with the maximum impact on the healthcare system in terms of deaths, concentrated mostly among the very old and very sick.
Ordering denial of early widespread testing. Ordering denial of early widespread screening. Ordering denial of early warning and public information efforts. Ordering denial of early travel restrictions. Ordering denial of public assistance that is known to control contagion. Ordering denial of access to healthcare services for those suspected or at high risk of being infected. Consistent messaging from every agency downplaying the severity and risk.
As a political strategy it is yet another very high stakes gamble. The states may still take effective measures to respond, slowing the eventual spread, and extending the course of the epidemic to better manage the healthcare response. The economy may still lurch into a major recession. And thousands may still die.
For many voters this may be the most important lesson to come out of this: a brash, combative, impulsive, risk taker (successful entrepreneur type) is not the best choice for a president.
@241 “a brash, combative, impulsive, risk taker ([who pretends to be a] successful entrepreneur type) is not the best choice for a president.”
If they haven’t figured that out by now, they never will. But I think many of them knew all along. What they wanted was someone who would hamstring if not destroy government, not make it function properly and well, and they got exactly what they wished for.
