I forgot who, but someone said that shopping online at Pike Place Market was easy. It was not. At least for me. Each store had its own website or you had to call. Some places you still had to go in to. Still, it was good to have much of it done ahead of time.

Any time now Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit’s gonna be online telling us about his big gain in the single Google share he owns.
It’s been a nice ride back up in the past month or so, from the financial doldrums. I’d like to personally express my gratitude to YLB’s kids for funding it.
Thank you for freeing up Joe Lieberman for his last Senate term, Markos. Nobody orchestrates third-party runs better than you do.
@1 By what percentage has your dividend income increased during the “nice ride back up”?
This is, of course, a rhetorical question.
Cut their benefits. Problem solved.

“Nice ride back up”
Dumbfuck
“November 2020
The party of Whistling past the graveyard and sexual assault vs the party of ‘maybe he did’ “ or words to that effect.
@4 Darcy Burner hugs rabbits. You fuck horses.
Democrats and Republicans aren’t the same.
Only one party actively wants you to die.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R-It’sJustTheFlu) announces that on reopening of state by her decree anyone who does not return to work is considered ‘voluntary quit’ and not eligible for unemployment.
“So if you are in a high risk category for death if you contact coronavirus, get you ass to work or starve. Fuck you for being poor. And Fuck your preExisting condition. On further reflection, just Fuck you” Kim Reynolds, or words to that effect.
@6 Those deaths are from the lockdown phase. The DeSantis body count will start showing up in early June.
Gee, remind me again why we started talking about Varian in the first place, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit?
Perhaps it was contextual. In comparison with something else, no?
How many people infected in NY died in FL, I wonder?
@8 I’m pretty sure Iowa, like other states, has laws that don’t require workers to accept unreasonably dangerous work, and the governor can’t change or suspend these laws by fiat. E.g.,
“a.(1) In determining whether or not any work is suitable for an individual, the department shall consider the degree of risk involved to the individual’s health, safety, and morals, …”
(From Iowa’s unemployment insurance statute.)
But you’re right about the GOP’s platform: To take extreme risks with workers’ lives in order to reopen the economy. We now see Republican politicians, Fox talking heads, and the entire constellation of rightwing hangers-on closing ranks around this theme.
Of course, it’s not their lives they’re risking, just as they don’t risk their own lives when they start wars. It’s hard to imagine a more repulsive group of human beings; mass and serial killers, but that’s about it. Republicans are only one rung up from them.
“Cut their benefits. Problem solved.”
Try and execute treasonous radiologists and take all their money and give it to “local police & courts & road maintenance people”. Problem solved.
@ 13
Looks like the medical cuts have already been made, Steve.
@11 How many spring breakers who got infected on Florida beaches died in NY, MA, MI, WI, OH, and other states, I wonder?
@10 To the best of my recollection, you mentioned that you own Varian (why else would we be talking about it?), in the context of bragging about how well it has done.
And, yes, this is about comparing Varian to, say, Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson raising their dividends by 6% or more last week.
@13 I’ve never met a Republican who believes public servants should be paid for their work. At least they’re consistent; they don’t believe private sector workers should be paid for their work, either.
de Blasio is being called an anti-Semite right now, for an ill-considered tweet sent last night. I won’t bother linking, ’cause Cz-252.
The tweet didn’t make him an anti-Semite; he was already that. But the tweet distracts from the disaster that was de Blasio in late February and early March.
Bill de Blasio is a failed leader. He told people to go out there and get infected.
@14 Isn’t it nice to know you work in a profession that just lost half of its revenues, and will lose the other half if people like you advocating benefit cuts get their way?
Doctors, like barrels of oil, are about to go from shortage to an excess surplus nobody knows where to store.
There are only so many 5-acre horse farms on Whidbey Island.
Now the Democrats and Republicans are fighting about liability for employers when workers start returning to work. Folks, the people liable for this whole damn thing are the members of the leadership of the Communist Chinese Party.
Lawyers, if you want to sue somebody over this Wuhan Plague, sue the dishonest Chinese government!
I didn’t get my stimulus check yet.
@18 “Bill de Blasio … told people to go out there and get infected.”
He and Kim Reynolds should consider dating. They have a lot in common, and they think the same.
For that matter, de Blasio has a large dating pool to choose from. It pretty much includes every Republican out there. This is how Republicans think, and this is what they are.
CNBC headline: “Gilead says remdesivir coronavirus trial shows ‘encouraging’ results”. And the Dow is up 600 points.
Crazy. Remdesivir is a treatment, not a vaccine. If it works, it means you only get miserably ill and rack up $50,000 in hospital bills; you don’t die and rack up $25,000 in funeral bills.
Somehow I don’t think that will be enough to motivate workers to work, and shoppers to shop.
Hope for a treatment is not sufficient justification for the market to jump like that, because until there’s a vaccine, we’re in for a deep and prolonged recession. Social distancing will have to stay in effect. Theaters and airplane seats will remain empty. People can’t slice and dice chicken, cut hair, or wait tables when they’re in the hospital.
@21 Not surprising that you haven’t. Retirees without pensions or stock dividends don’t have to file tax returns, and stimulus distributions to Social Security recipients are taking longer. Your dependent (i.e. horse) probably will get his payment before you do, because he still works. Every. Time. You. Visit. The. Barn.
@20 Are you saying employers should have immunity from being sued for dangerous working conditions? And workers should be forced to work in those conditions? Sounds like communism to me. Do we now have China’s and North Korea’s labor systems?
@15
It’s a bullshit claim to start from Dumbfuck.
never been around Bubbie who winters in Boca.
How many NY Snowbirds start showing up for their wintering in mid January and February? Some might head back for the Holidays but they aren’t sticking around Manhattan past New Years’ week in the cold when they can get back to Sunny, Sunny, Florida.
Say, when was that first case reported in New York State?
@26 “How many NY Snowbirds start showing up for their wintering in mid January and February?”
And aren’t those who did stuck in Florida now? How are they going to get back to NY? Walk?
Yep, DeBlasio is on his way out. Probably in a primary. Elections have consequences.
Now do, “It will just disappear. Nothing to worry about. The Chinese have done a really great job containing this. I don’t read the daily briefing. Closing the businesses is too much. Soon it will be down to zero. Ingest bleach. Hydrochloroquine is the real deal. I hear you’re testing UV lights for internal medicine. I’m doing a hell of a job. 60,000 really isn’t that bad when it could have been worse if not for me. I give my response an A. Ivanka’s husband has it all cured. She’s hot too. I don’t take any responsibility. It’s not the governments’ job to help states.”

That assumes someone working the desk at Supercuts is both aware of their rights and has the financial means to fight a protracted battle with their employer and IA unemployment over the definition of ‘dangerous’ for any length

At the very least they need food and rent money for as long as the state denies their claim.

Looks like Q Clearance Pussy has its answer. Had it all along.
@29 In your case, a lobotomy might be efficacious. It might make you smarter, and can’t make you any dumber.
@31 Because we’re busy posting about how the GOPlague has killed more Americans in three months than the Vietnam War did in eight years.
Trump has a strategy, of course. His strategy is to deflect and blame others. Also, confiscate medical supplies for his cronies to sell back to their original owners at gigantic markups.
@30
Apples to Bowling pins.
Try to follow along.
The people who take off to Florida for the winter would have been gone since well before the first infections in their home began. Not seasonal, geographical. You aren’t getting Coronavirus over breakfast at Barney Greengrass when you’re already in Dunedin.
The people fleeing to the Hamptons well after mass infection is underway and NOT sequestering after arriving are assholes and deserve whatever scorn you want to hurl at them.
Were I someone who owned a beach house half a tank away when we got word that my wife was definitely exposed and we all needed lock down for 14 days you can be sure I would have packed a couple bags and done lockdown there instead.
They have contact free grocery delivery in the Hamptons.
@ 33
Sure, send me an old reference, last updated on April 13th. That day 18 people died of the Wuhan virus in FL. Two days later 72 people died.
I’d say the percentage is materially greater than you might estimate, QoS McHillbilly. Especially if you’re using info more than two weeks old.
28,
Do you think Bill De will be replaced by a reactionary, conservative, anti-immigration racist bent on favoring the super wealthy and beating the shit out of Guatemalan toddlers?
Asking for a “friend”.
Follow up: Do you think “I don’t take any responsibility” will be replaced by another reactionary, conservative, anti-immigration racist bent on favoring the super wealthy and beating the shit out of Guatemalan toddlers?
Same “friend”.
Bonus: Is the future looking brighter than ever for reactionary, conservative, anti-immigration racists bent on favoring the super wealthy and beating the shit out of Guatemalan toddlers?
That one’s pretty much purely rhetorical.
Ghosts of Obamacare Exchanges …
“Under pressure to deliver relief to hundreds of thousands of small businesses, banks of all sizes are complaining that the federal government’s loan-entry portal is behind delays in the program.
“Nine industry groups representing the nation’s banks and credit unions sent a letter late Tuesday to the Small Business Administration and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin voicing concerns over how long it is taking to submit loans via the SBA loan portal known as E-Tran.
“‘With the start of the second round of funding many lenders are having significant problems submitting loan applications into the SBA’s system, preventing them from delivering this critical financial assistance to small businesses that desperately need it,’ the groups say in the letter.
“They added that ‘if the pace and performance of the E-Tran system cannot be improved, then we ask that you share that information with the public to help manage expectations for all of the small businesses still counting on PPP for a lifeline.'”

Republicans run things better. Yah.
@37 “Sure, send me an old reference, last updated on April 13th.”
Sez the troll who daily bleats about an alleged sexual assault that allegedly occurred 27 years ago.
@38 This explains, in a nutshell, why it simply won’t matter whether Tara Reade’s story is true.
The reason it won’t is because women voters will still choose a sexual harasser over a sexual harasser who also is a reactionary, conservative, anti-immigration racists bent on favoring the super wealthy and beating the shit out of Guatemalan toddlers.
It’s all relative, you see. The worst Democratic sexual harasser is still much, much better than the best Republican sexual harasser, and Trump is far from being the best of the Republican sexual harassers, which is pretty much all Republicans, in other words, you can find a better Republican than him if you try hard enough, assuming that you want a Republican in the first place for some inexplicable reason.
@ 39
From bill signing to present, PPP/CARES is about four weeks old.
Four weeks. Let’s round that up to one month, shall we?
Now let’s compare with, oh, say, the Affordable Care Act. The bill was signed in March of 2010. Healthcare.gov went live October 1, 2013. That’s, um, 42 months.
How well did healthcare.gov roll out, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit? How about Cover Oregon? ’cause those entities had 42 times as long to get their shit together.
You’re a fucking clown, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit. Looking forward to your sneering @ 23 about Gilead’s product not being a preventative when your daughter catches the Wuhan and after 3 days in the hospital she’s looking cyanotic.
Of course, when that happens, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, you won’t be able to afford the Gilead drug, having rolled the dice for far too long on GE’s rapidly declining fortunes, and having depended so heavily on GE’s dividend. You’ll just have to sit there and watch her die. It will be a different sensation of impotence for you than the one you are so used to by now.
“catches the Wuhan”
Wuhan? Didn’t you get your stupid orange moron’s memo?
Trump has made a policy decision to sacrifice lives for the economy, and Republicans are falling in line.
Your life for their money. It’s every Republican you know.
@42
When enrollment opened you still had three months give or take before coverage would kick in. Regale is with your tales of people waiting months with zero ability to choose plans.
Refresh my memory. Was Obamacare enacted to alleviate a problem where > 2000 Americans were dying daily and no one could work?
Oranges to Yugos, Dumbfuck!
I don’t understand this talk about Biden dropping out. The only qualifications to be president are being a U.S. citizen at least 35 years old. He meets those quals, so, end of story.
Beyond that, a nominee can be anything you like. For example, Republicans want their nominee to be a serial liar with a gangster mentality. I don’t vote in GOP primaries, so I guess that’s up to them.
Likewise, if Democrats want a sexual harasser to be their nominee, that’s an internal affair. Doctor Dumbfuck isn’t a Democrat, so it’s none of his business.
That’s how I see it.
61,000 > 15
61,000 > “sixty thousand and it could have been a lot worse if I didn’t stop the Chinese from coming here. (Eds note, flights with Chinese nationals continued to arrive for a month with no health screening of passengers) Be fucking grateful you have such a strong leader like me.”
I’m not doing anything at all, other than pointing out how fatuous it is to postulate something about people who died in one place having traveled from another place during a period in which travel was essentially forbidden. Two weeks is actually just about right. And therein lies the problem for “Doctor” Q Clearance Pussy and his “new science” of disease.
Either these imaginary “New Yorkers” who were destined to become ill and die, became infected, then traveled to Florida prior to April 10th when DeSanits imposed check points to prevent entry, and somehow managed to remain alive for 19 days before auguring in. Or they traveled to FLA in the last day or two in a near death state a la Ratso Rizzo.
Of the 83 DeSantis BEACH WEEK!!! deaths recorded that day, surely the number who became infected somewhere else must number in the ones. Or fewer.
#MAGAdon’tmath
Republicans are not cut out for this work.
@ 46
If Democrats want a sexual harasser to be their president, that’s an internal affair. Doctor Dumbfuck isn’t a Democrat, so it’s none of his business.
So, Democrats had no skin in the game when the GOP nominated Trump in 2016? The Chardonnay Lady had no skin in the game when she anointed him as her preferred opponent?
Really, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit? That’s your argument?
Was it none of Reid’s business when he schemed to make Sharron Angle his 2010 opponent? Was it none of McCaskill’s business when she schemed to make Akin her opponent in 2012?
You’re a fucking clown, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit. An obese, slovenly, bloviating, odiferous, incompetent, impotent clown.
Hillary desired Trump to be her opponent. Then she went out and lost to him.
39,
Q Clearance Pussy neeeeds you to agree that if the Obama administration could not insure 40 million uninsured Americans in “a month” but the GOP RapeHero could bail out Shake Shack and a small handful of his billionaire pals in the same time period, that is redemptive PROOOOOF!!! against charges of utter failure.
This is what it believes. Because this is what it neeeeeds to believe.

$120/wk/40hours full time = $3/hr. That’s what Mnooch thinks is a liveable wage plus half your salary if you qualify for unemployment. (note: if you were a $15/hr non essential employee Dumbfuck got his way and you’re making $10/hr which is way to generous according to Federal minimum wage.)
But Nancy has a SubZero!
(yes the article goes on to criticize Dems for not returning to House to fight for more for families that will be sure to die in Mitch’s billfold but whatevs…)
@49 I didn’t say it wasn’t her business. I said it isn’t your business. And it isn’t. You didn’t vote in the Democratic primary, so you had no say in choosing the Democratic nominee. And you won’t vote for their nominee in November, so you have no skin in the game either.
You will, however, spend the next four years complaining about a president you didn’t help choose.

More evidence Rapepublicans are not cut out for this work: The Q Clearance Pussy learned absolutely nothing from its humiliating cheerleading for fish tank cleaner.
It’s almost certain that if it were to give a strong buy rec to every issue in the Dow, some of those recs would turn out to be winners. But any investor following those recs would not be able to beat the average. (Some insight into the true nature of its investment prowess?)
And here we get to see how biological systems differ from casino gambling. Because any Trump Plague survivor who follows all of “Doctor” Q Clearance Pussy’s “medical” recommendations winds up dead.

Nolte: Fact Checking 3 Falsehoods in Biden Campaign’s Tara Reade Talking Points
CLAIM #1: The New York Times conducted a “thorough review” of Reade’s allegations.
VERDICT: False.
We now know the Times did no such thing. A ton of corroborating evidence has been exposed since the Times released its sloppy “investigation,” which proves the Times was nothing close to thorough.
CLAIM #2: The Times’ reporting “has led to the truth: this incident did not happen.”
VERDICT: False.
Even the far-left Times felt the need to debunk that straight-up falsehood —
“Our investigation made no conclusion either way,” a Times spokesperson told BuzzFeed Wednesday morning.
CLAIM #3: There has never even been a “hint” or “rumor” of similar behavior from Biden “ever” in history.
VERDICT: False.
To begin with, while Reade’s allegation — that Biden shoved his hand up her skirt in 1993, penetrated her vagina with his fingers, and then fired her after she complained — is by far the most serious, Tara Reade is the eighth woman — number eight! — to accuse Biden of misconduct.

yawwwwwn…
There are none.
The fact that the WaPo editorial board made this glaring conflation between her hostile workplace and retaliation claims, and her claim of sexual assault is merely more proof of the board’s decline. Not really a decline in terms of ideology, although it’s clear that the board has become stridently anti-Democratic in recent years. But more significantly a decline in professional standards. They know that there are no corroborating accounts of Ms. Reade’s claim of having been sexually assaulted in a public hallway in the middle of the work day in one of the busiest and most public buildings on earth. They will simply claim they are being misinterpreted.
Deliberately so. And just as dishonest. Put into context, not so surprising. Only just last week the straight news desks of major independent news orgs were struggling to equivocate and balance the comments of the president as he recommended that people inject themselves with bleach and shove lights up their asses.
This is the sad state of corporate media today. WaPo Ed board is no exception. In many ways they are the bellweather.

This is about the dumbest take and what can only be described as the dumbest criminal defense ever.
Here’s a guy who had the sweetest of sweatheart deals all locked up and approved. And he blew it up. Why?
Well, why was Flynn fired from DIA?
He’s fucking nuts. Not “impetuous”. Not “impulsive”. Although he’s all those things too. Somewhere along the line Flynn became clinically bi-polar, delusional with manifestations of grandiosity. He’s unwell. And despite his decades of service, fine record of service at JSOC, and many accomplishments, it became impossible for colleagues in government intelligence to overlook his mental unraveling any longer.
So naturally he wound up in the highest ranking intelligence position within Trump world.
@74 “TARA READE deserves to be heard … ”
And she will be. It won’t make any difference. He’ll be elected president anyway. Why?
In Biden, you have an accused crotch grabber.
In Trump, you have an admitted crotch grabber who mismanaged the worst health crisis in U.S. history, mismanaged foreign policy, is corrupt and immoral, throws tantrums and blames others, accepts no responsibility for his actions, is a prolific liar, a deadbeat and serial bankrupt, a serial adulterer, a draft dodger and tax cheat, and the worst president ever.
It’s no contest. Even if Biden grabbed Tara Reade’s crotch 27 years ago, women will vote for him because your candidate is so fucking awful.

So much

Well, I do hope Dumbfuck and his pal Pussybutt give Tara Reade more opportunity to be heard than they were willing to give Bowe Bergdahl.

Roger, she has been heard. Repeatedly. If she is to be heard any more it will be up to her.
It’s very important to understand here that she is not responding to most requests for interviews, either in person or in writing. She of course has legal representation at this point. And they are guarding her from any further inquiry. That’s her decision.
But unless that changes, it also effectively ends the story.
We have her statements and interviews such as they are. We have a small assortment of very confusing, imprecise, and shifting contemporaneous reports from friends/family corroborating some of the self-reported details in her claims of being subjected to a hostile workplace and possible sexual harassment. And none of those implicate Vice President Biden.
Nothing at all, contemporaneous or otherwise, to corroborate her allegation of rape.
And that’s where this stands. Lots of people are continuing to try and follow up by cold calling neighbors, friends, coworkers, and family. And it’s not producing results.

10 Steps to a Police State.
1. Invoke a terrifying enemy.
Check.
Climate Change, Terrorism, Immigrants, and now Pandemic.
2. Eliminate/ridicule morality in favor of progressive pragmatism.
Check.
Both major political parties have fully embraced “ends justify the means” progressivism.
3. Establish surveillance.
Check.
Patriot act. Data mining. Real-time cell data tracking. Drone cameras. Snitch networks. Etc.
4. Establish control over the press.
Check.
All major outlets are now effectively State Media, advancing their respective R/D narratives.
5. Establish wealth control.
Check.
Economy intentionally crippled, forcing the majority of Americans on government handouts while increasing massive, unsustainable debt.
6. Establish medical control.
Check.
Medicaid/Medicare, Obamacare, and government bureaucracy in all levels of practice.
7. Establish food supply control.
Check.
Supply lines disrupted, crops destroyed, grocery shelves increasingly bare.
8. Target/remove key dissidents.
Check.
Cancel culture.
9. Target/prohibit disloyal assemblages.
Check.
Shelter in place. Or else.
10. Disarm the remaining population.
Check.
And they’re going for it.

The entrapment of Mike Flynn by the FBI is the worst recent example of the Deep State destroying th Constitution. Those agents involved should be immediately fired and charged with obstruction of justice, convicted and sent to maximum security prisons for decades.
Well. This is interesting. According to new polls released today, Biden has pulled ahead in Texas.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/general_election/
According to a PPP poll conducted April 27-28, Biden leads Trump in Texas by 47% to 46%. True, that’s only 1%, and within the margin of error … but Texas for God’s sake?
If Trump loses Texas, he loses. He simply has no path without Texas.
@93 Maybe I should ask Lynn Hummer. She knows Tara Reade better than I do.
https://medium.com/@eddiekrassenstein/biden-accuser-tara-reade-allegedly-stole-from-a-non-profit-organization-e276cac68a2b
@95 Yes, that’s certainly unfair. I don’t understand why Trump hasn’t pardoned him. Do you? You don’t think Trump is the kind of person who would let an innocent friend who was railroaded by the evil FBI rot in jail, do you?
@94 Somebody needs a mental health checkup. Some serious paranoia is happening there.
Some serious paranoia is going on here, too:
“U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he believes China’s handling of the coronavirus is proof that Beijing ‘will do anything they can’ to make him lose his re-election bid.”

95,
You can’t even define entrapment.
He told repeated lies. He did it deliberately. He was not tricked. He was given multiple opportunities to cure the lies. He repeated them. And in the end he confessed his guilt, and gave a sworn statement attesting to his guilt.
That’s about as far from entrapment as it is possible for a criminal to get.
Some serious paranoia is happening there.
At 94 and 95. It’s the florid DERP STATE!!! lunacy.
Everything is conspiring against them. This is I guess just how it’s going to be for Rapepublicans from here on out.
95,
Legally, Mr. Mojo, under the US code, it does not matter that the feds knew he was lying. It does not matter that the lies he told failed to mislead them. Or that they knew he was misleading them at the time. Under the US code it only matter that the defendant intended to mislead them. That is the materiality standard as YOUR CONGRESS wrote the statute.
It was, AND IS, the intent of every member of Congress who is not at present sponsoring legislation to change the code, that a subject who tells the feds a lie that has no detrimental impact whatsoever on an investigation shall be guilty themselves of a criminal violation under 18 sec 1001. They wrote the section that way on purpose. They have left it that way on purpose. That is our system.
I personally think it’s wrong. I think the materiality standard should be changed. I think that to bring a prosecution under the section prosecutors should be required to show that such a lie had a detrimental impact upon an active investigation. But Congress disagrees with me.
And Congress disagrees with you to. Including every single Rapepublican member you will watch rending their shirts on FOX for the next 48 hrs. They also disagree with you. They are just simply lying to you about it. Because they know you are a stupid, gullible, credulous Rapepublican voter who can be manipulated into activated rage with relative ease.

Very Presidential
The GOP has a deep bench. Like in CA-37 (Santa Monica, WestLA, Koreatown)
One: Beyoncé holds no elected office. Maybe Queen.
Two: what got him in a lather is an old song remixed with her permission by Meagan TheeStallion
Three: And I cannot stress this enough, Bae and Meagan released the track with support of Columbia/Parkwood records and 100% of sales benefit Bread of Life, a disaster relief organization based in Houston.
And googling Beyoncé and charity for the millions she’s given would have taken….well 8 seconds for a slow typist.
This guy says he’s the real ‘get off the plantation’ voice of black Americans. Now I’m not saying all black people love Beyoncé but to be black and seem to have zero exposure to Beyoncé takes effort. Never watched ‘106th and Park’ don’t listen to ANY ‘urban’ radio. Don’t follow Jay-z, never watch NBA (Bae has high profile ‘bump’ video for the league) and Brooklyn Nets, never be out and about and hear ‘Irreplaceable’ on the PA, didn’t follow Ferguson and BLM….
Florida guv, yesterday:
Meanwhile, today Gavin Newsom plans to close all of the beaches and parks in CA.
@ 110
Black candidate:
Cz-252, in reply:
“Well, she shot a promo video for the NBA.” OK, I’m paraphrasing. But not much.
To Cz-252, NBA = black people. Then he’ll wonder why Trump doubled his black voter support between 2016 and 2020. Moreover, he’ll never realize he underscored Errol Webber’s point, which is that high-profile videos promoting the NBA aren’t the same as doing something tangible for black people.
Fish.
Tank.
Cleaner.
And bleach injections. And anal flashlights. And “It will just go away”.
It’s nice to think people can just relax and give their trust to authorities. It’s easier. It’s comforting. But sadly, in the age of Trumpism it can also be deadly.
Rapepublicans are just not cut out for this work.
112,
In which The Q Clearance Pussy boldly underscores I’llHaveAPilsner’s point by insisting, as Errol Webber insists, that black celebrities must behave differently from white celebrities because… black.
That’s how you get to be “one of the good ones”.
Classic.
Hey, Cz-252:
The Obama’s aren’t “black people”, either.
Barack Obama Goes Golfing at Country Club the Day After Michelle Urged African Americans to Stay Home
Instead, Cz-252, they’re like Beyonce. And like you.
They’re part of the entertainment world.
@112
Reading comprehension.
Being part of a community is knowing about the community. Even if you aren’t an active participant in all the community embraces. It is LITERALLY not possible to be part of the black community and be unaware of the charitable works of Beyoncé and Jay-Z. It would require never ever consuming the kinds of media that 90% or more of your community consume and enjoy. Which would put you ‘outside’ the community.
That Beyoncé NBA promo plays during Sunday Night Football too. Well it did. And NBC Prime Time. So like 99% of the Black community the candidate is saying, “I don’t even OWN a TV.”
It would be like a white person who has no clue about what ‘Friends’ is. You’d be an extreme outlier. Someone who’s never been to someone’s house when it was on. Never been in a mall selling t-Shirts. Never been in a grocery line where they have magazines.
Or try a Mexican who doesn’t know who ‘Our Lady of Guadalupe’ is. Even if not Catholic it would be impossible to move through life and not know.

I’m sure the families of the 50 Floridians who died yesterday are nodding in agreement.

@126 Even a sinkhole can look good after climbing out of a punji pit.
From us:
‘One page of handwritten notes dated the same day Flynn was interviewed, Jan. 24, 2017, appears to show a debate about how forthcoming to be with him or others at the White House about the nature of the FBI investigation.
“If we’re seen as playing games, WH will be furious,” the notes say. “Protect our institution by not playing games.”’
So, stating the obvious, the FBI is a corrupt organization that needs to be abolished.
Fun Fact:
If only ten percent of the Rapepublicans who voted for Amash in his district in 2018 decide to vote for him in 2020 for President, the GOP RapeHero loses Michigan.
Strike one.
So, stating the obvious, the FBI is a corrupt organization that needs to be abolished.
HAHAHAHA!.. drumpf said it loves the FBI save for a few at the top it doesn’t like.
FBI is staffed top to bottom with repukes.. this shit is too funny!
“Protect our institution by not playing games.”’
i.e. by the book.. Flynn lied to cover up its corrupt mentally unstable behavior. Chris Christie said the guy was a train wreck. ‘n uff said.
whack job somewhere else troll..
@129 A Fox News poll conducted April 18-21 shows Biden up 8 points in Michigan, so Amash probably won’t make much difference one way or the other.
Losing Michigan, if he keeps every other state he won in 2016, wouldn’t cost Trump the election. Also losing Pennsylvania (where he also trails) and one other state would.
Barack Obama Goes Golfing at Country Club the Day After Michelle Urged African Americans to Stay Home
Heh. Nothing drives a white supremacist nut crazier than a person of color indulging in traditional whiteness pursuits..

putting a small ball in a little round hole with a stick.. whatever.. it’s a challenge of sorts..
But for the typical African American, his or her lot is to bear the brunt of a white privileged society, i.e. they’re the ones who suffer and die the most in a pandemic.
Yeah they’re more likely to survive if they stay at home. They’re more likely to get sick and die if they show up to work at the meat packing plant on the orders of the white drumpfist governor.
Yet another chapter in the book of the always wrong wing..
128,
I’d really love to believe any of you fucks are the slightest bit sincere about this.
I agree, the way federal law enforcement uses the statute given to them by Congress is troubling, and does not promote justice. But it is not corrupt. And it is not unethical in our federal criminal legal system. And moreover, they are commanded to do it this way by their superiors rising all the way up to the President. They use the statute to gain leverage over defendants in order to obtain guilty pleas and cooperation. That is a designed feature of the system and key to its efficiency.
So let’s say you’re a scummy, greedy, lazy, incompetent rediologist who has been participating in a scheme to defraud Medicare for a few years. The feebs are looking into it. But you know you and your partners have covered your tracks and that there is no evidence. They ask for an interview, “just to clear a few things up before we close the file”. And you tell yourself that sounds like a great plan to get this over with. They’ve got nothing. And you’ll give them nothing.
Your interview lasts for about thirty minutes. Seems very routine. Then about half way in they ask you about your family life, your wife, kids, etc. Are things okay? Good with the wife? Good relationship? Then they mention a report they got. “Probably just a rumor” but they’d like to clear it up. Ever cheated on your wife? “Of course not”, you insist (lie one – you have). Ever been to this motel? “Certainly not”, you proclaim (lie two – you have, many times). In fact you were fucking a pharma sales rep off and on for about six months last year at that very motel. But your pre-nup includes an infidelity clause. You stand to lose the house, the ski cabin, and up to half your business. Caught off guard you lied. And now they own your ass.
In about three days your lawyer will be receiving a copy of your charging file and asked to arrange for your surrender. At your first post-arrest interview with your lawyer present they’ll present you with all the receipts. That’s your signature on the motel register. That’s you on the security video with “not-your-wife”. And here’s the transcript of the interview with Ms. Thang describing dates, times, and distinguishing moles. You will be offered a deal: give up your Medicare fraud co-conspirators and you’ll walk on the 18 – 1001 charges. You agree. They bring down the Medicare fraud conspiracy and chalk up a big win for the home team.
Now remember that Flynn was treated a thousand times better than this.
This is how it’s done every day in America. It’s done to drug dealers, and conspirators, and bank robbers, and tax cheats.
If you think it’s wrong, why the fuck didn’t you ever say anything before? If you want to see it changed, where the fuck have you been? Shouldn’t you be demanding that Bill Barr be fired? Because as a federal prosecutor he did this. Hundreds of times. And he ordered it done. Thousands of times. He did his job. He wasn’t corrupt. He followed the law, did as he was told, and got the results he was ordered to get. That’s how he became Attorney General. Twice.
Wisconsin, Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia. And it isn’t even May.
Amash doesn’t win MI for Biden. The candidate must still campaign there. It’s just a question of resources, including time. It’s terrifying how many voters make up their minds in the last week or two before an election. And it puts enormous strain and pressure on even a successful campaign and candidate. If Amash can be counted on to pull 20,000 Republican votes off the board for the GOP RapeHero it makes Biden’s job a whole lot easier.
“So let’s say you’re a scummy, greedy, lazy, incompetent rediologist who has been participating in a scheme to defraud Medicare for a few years.”
Nobody we know, of course. Purely hypothetical. Just like the “failed lawyer” bit propagated by a certain scummy radiologist who, as far as we know, is not actually lazy or incompetent, nor a participant in a scheme to defraud Medicare. Those are merely unproven allegations; and, of course, he has a right to be heard on those allegations.
Although all I’ve heard so far is crickets. But that may be because he’s fully occupied by his obsessesions with Hillary, Hunter, and Tara.
Yes, when you’ve got nothing else left, there’s always Tara.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/fl/florida_trump_vs_biden-6841.html
29 Electoral votes. And if Biden wins Michigan and Pennsylvania, he needs only 2 of ’em, other results being equal with 2016.
Here’s something everyone in the back of their head knew but didn’t worry about GOP Economics and the death of the single income household…
Families where one parent works full time and the other works a few hours a day, filing for a law firm or working the lunch shift at a cafe or running a small business’ Quickbooks entries. You lost your job and you get NOTHING! You don’t qualify for Unemployment. You don’t really work and your piddling $150 week is a luxury. You can get by on half the EMPLOYED member of the family’s salary.
The family was doing ok but not well enough to have a full-time stay at home parent.
I’d bet suburban moms are the majority of this class of wage earner and they’re coming to this understanding right when thinking about if the current government is doing a good job and deserves another four years.
“Go get a new job, losers.” -Donald, or words to that effect.

You could takeaway three things:
Abolish ICE
Embrace Trump at your own peril
Maybe black Americans don’t hate the gay quite as much as people think
Hamilton County (Cincinnati,
26% black population) Sherif Jim Neil, who held press conferences about how proud he was to work with ICE on both legit and very questionable immigration holds AND Attended Trump Rallies lost the Democratic Primary to Charmaine McGuffy, a former dept officer who is openly gay and sued the department stating her sexual orientation and her advocacy for stronger punishments of officers found to be in violation of sexual harassment policies was the reason she was terminated by Neil.
It was 70-30.
She is expected to easily beat the Republican candidate in a very safe Democratic region in November.

I thought we were close on an exclusive and now I see you’ve been working with Warner? You can do better with us. I promise.

I’m seeing something like Touched by an Angel only built around the Me Too movement. Or maybe something like Route 66 but built around #MeToo. You and a partner travel around small town America encountering MeToo stories and “hearing” the victim’s truth. I could see Maura Tierney as the partner. But you can always have approval, of course. There’s a future in this. I’m sure of it. And I believe you can build that future with us at NBCUniversal.

It really sucks to be in your shoes, doesn’t it?
Tara,
It’s been nearly four weeks since we here at The Union published your first public account of your experiences of workplace harassment while working as a staff assistant for then Senator Biden in 92-93. Since publication you’ve given several follow up interviews to other outlets in which your story has changed, and expanded dramatically to include an allegation of rape. But in all that time you haven’t returned a single one of my phone calls for follow up.
The Union even gave you an exclusive two page feature in which to tell your story in your own words. We’d like to do more. But it has never been our policy at The Union to report on other’s reporting. We’d like to hear you respond to our questions directly and help us tell a more complete version of your story. It’s a shame you’ve refused our offers. But they remain open.
Whenever you are ready, we at The Union will be here for you.
Tara baby.
Call me. I’ve got a great branding idea I’d like to share with you.
Ms. Reade,
This will be our final notification.
We continue to receive and hold several thousand pieces of first class mail addressed to you at your former residence without forward. This is to let you know that first class letters like these can only be held for thirty days. Beginning May 3rd we will begin returning these first class letters to the sender given.

Demorat-China Party Of Hate America & Travel Bans Are Racist Bombshell News – Demorat-China Axis Tries To Divert Attention From Demrat-Chicom Attempt to Keep Virus Flights From China Inbound (e.g.,https://dailycaller.com/2020/04/28/democrats-no-ban-act-coronavirus-china/;“As President Donald Trump was using his authority to ban travel from China, House Democrats were pursuing legislation to restrict the president’s authority to limit immigration.”) With Increasingly Frenzied Attacks On Trump –

China is also the president’s biggest stunt to divert Americans’ rage toward the his administration’s own incompetence in fighting the virus. It is believed Trump and his team are aware of how they have failed their jobs in epidemic prevention and control. Only by making Americans hate China can they make sure that the public might overlook the fact that Trump’s team is stained with the blood of Americans.

In Donald Trump’s endless quest to escape responsibility for his bungled and failed response to the worst public health disaster in living memory, it’s now becoming clear that he has settled on blaming China for failing to alert us early on to the serious nature of the pandemic.

@166: Yawn. Mason jars don’t have mammary glands for a reason. They are inanimate, non-sentient and, therefore, useless.
Now for those who do have a conscious mind . . .
HEY, HEY, JAY, JAY!
As well as this, I wish I could say:
@166 “Faux Snooze holds up Sweden as a role model.”
Better now, before that country is depopulated.
@168 Committing suicide is illegal, but shouldn’t be. Enforcement is impossible. Abortion should be legal, too, for the same reason.
Everyone wants to know what “reopening” will look like…
Jonestown.. kultists (like @168) offering up people to their green demon…
money.
Demorat-China Party Of Hate America & Travel Bans Are Racist Bombshell News – Demorat Governors Face Mounting Resistance To Demorat Operation Strangle Economy But Still Vow To Destroy More Jobs. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-China) explained, “As if I give a shit if a bunch of deplorables lose their jobs so long as Trump loses his, hahaha.”
——————–
The Michigan House of Representatives declined to extend Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s [D-China] state of emergency another 28 days, and instead voted on Thursday to sue her.
The House also passed a resolution restricting a governor’s state of emergency declarations to 14 days. Whitmer has vowed to veto that legislation.
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the capitol and demanded the state be reopened.
“We want Michigan open, we want Michigan back to work,” Jason Howland, one of the protest organizers, told Fox 17.

@172
Breitbart. Typical Piddles move.
Come November, will Michigan voters side with Armed nutjobs who literally shouted violent threats at legislators or Democrats who would prefer staying alive?
MI Legislature is Republican majority (for now) but not enough to overturn a veto where in MI 2/3rds of BOTH houses are required to overturn. Today’s vote was a foregone conclusion. The party of death and the minority party of pro-life (Dripping with irony.) They’ll need 14 Democrats to pull off re-opening the state.
So the Governor’s power to shut down the state remains intact and voters know Republicans want them to die.
the Detroit Chamber of Commerce put out a poll:
57%. that’s a lot in a state Donald won by 2/10ths of a percent.
The armed nuts aren’t with the people and most Americans find calls for armed insurrection and parading around in body armor and carrying assault rifles…..unseemly.
Doing GREAT MI GOP!
VP Pence is threatening a media outlet that is LITERALLY a propaganda outlet for the U.S. Government. That’s not necessarily a bad thing as VOA has a specific role to fill for Troop morale and broadcast into civilian ears of hostile countries. That and the historical role of getting coded information to CIA assets where direct communication is kind of difficult.
Republicans think it’s right to make strangers bear children, but wrong to make them wear masks in public during a deadly pandemic.
Republicans have a weird sense of right and wrong.
@172 “Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-China) explained, ‘As if I give a shit if a bunch of deplorables lose their jobs so long as Trump loses his, hahaha.'”
I gather that’s an attempt at paraphrasing, not a verbatim quote.
Funny that Piddles The Pious Liar has chosen to return in shame by going incog. Is it hiding from The Elders or from itself, or from its shameful past?
Here Piddles: Have an abortion!
Side note @ Myself.
No one is arguing Gov Whitmer has no power to take executive action in emergency situations.
A better summary of what happened today:
Michigan GOP votes to sue that the Michigan Constitution is unconstitutional.
That’s a weird flex for the party of strict construction. You’d almost think they have no guiding principle except that which benefits their party.
Should make for fun pubic court hearings as we get closer to November. If it’s not tossed out immediately. Keep this going for months. Great job MI GOP!
@178 Even better summary: Babies throwing tantrum.
The illegal and immoral treatment of General Flynn by the FBI traitors needs to be answered. Those egotistical liberal progressive FBI agents should be publicly flogged for their traitorous behavior, fired and permanently banned from employment in any government employment anywhere in the Universe. Comey, in particular, deserves extreme physical punishment for his slander and evil deeds.
@180 Thanks for the endorsement! I’m a Democratic party hack and liberal propagandist. I admit it, now deal with it.
I’m not, however, a liberal troll. This is a liberal blog, and it’s not possible to be a liberal troll on a liberal blog. You’re the troll.

174,
The point of interest we should note in this instance is that according to the agreed upon facts, the content of the planning memo, and the public statements issued, it is the policy of this White House, as set forth in their “off-the-record rules”, that substantive lies told by the administration are not to be exposed by the members of the “independent” media who cover the administration without the administration’s permission.
The media are not on America’s side. And they too are not cut out for this work.
Piddles, the trailer court HOA has been over this with you at least a dozen times. It’s right there in the bylaws. Before you get any hugs you’ll first need to take a shower and stop tossing dog shit over the fence into their Dough Boy pool.
-Vice President Joe Biden.
Notice he does not address Ms. Reade. His statement does not characterize or comment upon her. He only states clearly that the story is false and that the events she has described never took place. He’s smart. He listens to his attorneys and the other experts he has at his disposal. In that regard alone he’d make a better president.

Although Trump’s response to Covid-19 generally has been confused and disorganized, there are signs of better preparation for his “reopen” policies.
