Your Monday Open Thread

by — ,

Well it finally happened: My hair is ridiculous. Can’t part it. Can’t slick it back. Just a big lump on my head. Swooping. I have had it long before, but this intermediate stuff is probably going to last a while. So I am sorry coworkers, friends and family. You’re stuck looking at this on Zoom for a while.

Anyway, everyone wash your hands right now.

    “The board chairman of Tyson Foods is warning that ‘millions of pounds of meat will disappear’ from the national food supply chain as the coronavirus outbreak forces food processing plants to shutter. ‘The food supply chain is breaking,’ John Tyson wrote in a full-page advertisement published Sunday in The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. ‘There will be limited supply of our products available in grocery stores until we are able to reopen our facilities that are currently closed,’ he wrote in the advertisement, which was also published as a blog post on the company’s website.

    Shorter Tyson: You want chicken, thenlet us kill our workers, and stop complaining about it.

    Tyson Foods has a long rap sheet of what Wikipedia terms “controversies” in the following categories:

    Employment of Undocumented Immigrants
    Price Manipulation
    Undisclosed Use of Antibiotics
    Employee Abuse

    @2 Well, that’s comforting. We’re slightly ahead of third world countries with no doctors or health facilities in keeping the death toll down, and only 1 of every 17.6 people congregating on beaches or protesting on state capitol steps will be dead by July 1.

    @3

    Tyson is among the worst mass processors for labor and safety. And they aren’t the only game in town so they’re pretty easy to avoid. Especially if you have a mostly plant based diet.

    There is almost nothing they produce that can’t be sourced from somewhere else.

    The big ones to avoid:
    Tyson obvs
    Hilshire Farm
    Jimmy Dean
    Ballpark Franks
    Sara Lee
    Gallo Salami
    Aidel’s

    My advice, eat vegetarian. If you won’t or can’t do that eat vegetarian most of the time and find a local butcher. Avoid pork as much as possible. The pork industry in particular is unsanitary, Environmentally fraught, and cruel to livestock. Mass produced beef and chicken isn’t a whole lot better.

    Annnnnndddddddd, there’s another woman whom Tara Reade told about Biden’s sexual assault.

    A former neighbor of Joe Biden’s accuser Tara Reade has come forward to corroborate her sexual assault account, saying Reade discussed the allegations in detail in the mid-1990s

    This woman has the same opinion as Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit does, in that she supports Biden despite the assault.

    And that’s fine. As long as Biden gets the same treatment as Kavanaugh and Trump, if voters then choose to support him despite his sexual predation on underlings, that’s the prerogative of the voter.

    Even Anderson Cooper should be able to understand that.

  11. 11

    Annnnndddddddd, there’s yet another woman who can corroborate some of the details:

    After she left Washington, DC, Reade worked for California State Senator Jack O’Connell. Lorraine Sanchez, a former legislative staffer in O’Connell’s office, mentored Reade and worked alongside her from 1994 through 1996. Sanchez told Insider that Reade complained at the time about being mistreated by her former employer.

    “[Reade said] she had been sexually harassed by her former boss while she was in DC,” Sanchez said, “and as a result of her voicing her concerns to her supervisors, she was let go, fired.”

    Sanchez said she does not recall if Reade offered details about the sort of harassment she allegedly suffered, or if she named Biden. “What I do remember,” Sanchez said, “is reassuring her that nothing like that would ever happen to her here in our office, that she was in a safe place, free from any sexual harassment.” Reade said she never experienced harassment from any other employer she had during her time in Washington, and that the employer Sanchez recalls her complaining about was Biden.

    @6 So, as a doctor, how would you grade Trump’s response to the Covid-19 crisis, and what is your estimate of the number of people he killed?

  21. 21

    @7 “the US numbers are really quite good”

    I fail to see what’s good about a single one of the Covid-19 deaths.

    But I understand where you’re coming from. The death rate from Covid-19 is about 3% of known cases, and the death rate in the Vietnam War was about 3% of our troops. I guess from one perspective you could say the fact that 97% of us survived (although not necessarily with all our limbs intact) to be spit on at home was “really quite good,” in the sense it could have been worse (fewer survivors, more spit).

    Now do the Covid-19 survivors with damaged organs, shortened lifespans, impaired functioning, etc.: Tell us about the “good” you see in that, hopefully something more profound and uplifting than, “Well, they’re not dead, are they?” (Note: Neither are the five U.S. veterans who lost all four of their limbs in Iraq; you could try using them as a baseline for comparison.)

    We need a Pollyanna on HA. You’re essential to our sanity, Dumbfuck. Blogging about Republicans is so damn depressing.

  24. 24

    @ 23

    Yup, they’re all out there.

    Now back to Tara Reade and the silence of Biden. Some reason Biden can’t be asked on the record, during an on-camera interview, about whether it happened and what he recalls of the incident?

    Some reason Biden can’t be asked if he’d be willing to let the University of Delaware release his records now instead of two years after he leaves public life, so that Tara Reade’s claims can be further investigated?

  25. 25

    “Let me get you a washcloth.”

    Tens of millions of Americans are unemployed. Tens of thousands of Americans have died. America’s deficits and debt are soaring. Russia and China ascend as America descends. Meanwhile, Republicans are drinking bleach and sticking UV flashlights up their asses.

    This is a record of failure that will require our dumbfuck traitor to use more than a washcloth to remove the orange shit caked to his face, but it does make sense that he would rather talk about anything else but his fuckups.

  28. 28

    @24 Tara Reade won’t change one vote from Biden to Trump. Why? Because even if Biden is a pussygrabber, Trump is a worse one.

    Dumbfuck, because you’re a Republican no one expects you to have a moral compass, so let’s discuss this on a level you can comprehend: the purely tactical one.

    When your candidate is a prolific liar, ignoramus, cheat, deadbeat, serial adulterer and sexual harasser, racist and bigot, traitor, and corrupt incompetent, that doesn’t put you in a strong position to exploit the shortcomings of his opponent.

    You chose poorly.

    @ 28

    @24 Tara Reade won’t change one vote from Biden to Trump.

    That’s not where the effect would/should be felt, if Reade is taken seriously by Democrats who choose to demonstrate some consistency in how they treat sexual predation of women by men.

    She might change the Democrat nominee from Biden to someone who should have been preferable to him from Day One.

    Bernie deserves it most, but won’t get it. But who might? Warren? Harris? Klobuchar? Any of those three would be far preferable to Biden. As much as I hate Warren’s guts, she’s the one best suited to give Trump hell for two or three months straight, no matter what he throws at her. Look what she did to MiniMike – she singlehandedly destroyed the fuck, and rightfully so.

    If Dems run an awful candidate twice in a row, Steve won’t be able to blame Putin for your stupidity. I mean, he will blame Putin, but he has so little cred left these days that he’ll just be stuck next to ‘froggy and The Even Bigger Fucking Moron when he does.

    Dems, you’re about to fuck this up. Again. Just look at Cz-252’s approach. Are you really that stupid, Dems?

  32. 32

    @31 If you were consistent in how you treat sexual predation of women by men, you’d suggest replacing both parties’ presumptive nominees.

    What’s good for the goose, is good for the gander, doc. Nobody listens to hypocrites, so I doubt you’ll get traction with the Democratic powers that be.

  33. 33

    “I mean, he will blame Putin”

    Always the dumbfuck. I blame you for everything.

    Gotta blame somebody. Why not blame a dumbfuck traitor like you?

  34. 34

    Here’s the thing. So what if Biden harasses women, is corrupt, or might shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue? If Republicans can vote for someone like that, so can the rest of us.

    Demorat-China Party Of Hate America & Travel Bans Are Racist Bombshell News History Channel – Never Forget How China-Demorats Tried To End Travel Ban, Flood America With China Virus –
    ——————–
    House and Senate Democrats are responding to the coronavirus outbreak in the United States by supporting measures to effectively strip President Trump of his authority to impose travel bans to protect American citizens.
    While Trump has implemented travel bans on China and Iran — two of the most coronavirus-affected nations in the world — House Democrats are looking to roll back the president’s authority to enact travel bans from regions of the world.
    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.

    Kansas official says man drank cleaner after Trump floated dangerous disinfectant remedy

    After President Donald Trump floated ingesting highly toxic disinfectant as a treatment for the coronavirus, Kansas health authorities say a man drank cleaning product over the weekend.

    Lee Norman, the state health officer, said the head of the Kansas Poison Control Center reported a more than 40 percent increase in cleaning chemical cases.

    “Including a fellow over the weekend who drank a product because of the advice he’d received,” Norman said during a news conference Monday.

    https://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article242326966.html

    Asked by a reporter on Monday about “Maryland and other states” where governors say they have seen “a spike in people using disinfectant after your comments last week, I know you said they were ‘sarcastic’“ — the president interjected before the reporter could finish and said, “I can’t imagine why. I can’t imagine why.”

    “Do you take any responsibility?” the reporter followed up.

    Trump said, “No, I don’t. No, I can’t imagine. I can’t imagine that.”

    Demorat-China Party Of Hate America & Travel Bans Are Racist Bombshell News – Demorat-China Axis Tries To Shift Blame From China’s Deliberate Worldwide Spread Of Virus By Blaming Trump & Republicans –
    ——————–
    By Mu Lu Source: Global Times
    Republican lawmakers have invested most of their efforts in ducking responsibility for the pandemic, leaving the US in dire situation: More than 939,000 Americans have been infected with nearly 54,000 coronavirus deaths as of press time, and the numbers are growing.
    Republicans will not stop attacking China over COVID-19 as they see it as a life-saving straw, especially facing a fierce election campaign. But by threatening to remove China’s immunity, the Republicans have gone too far, aiming to shake the entire international order, a move that will lead to consequences the US cannot withstand – no matter how strong Republicans believe their country is.
    https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1186807.shtml

    Politico reports on the least surprising story of the day. The Democrats, some of whom called President Trump a racist, fear-mongering xenophobe when he shut off travel to and from China, are now prepping to blame him for what coronavirus has done to the economy.

    Donald’s IRS wants to kill you.

    (These are OUR masks part Deux)

    The Internal Revenue Service has told some 10,000 of its employees that they’re needed back in the office as soon as Monday — and they’ll need to bring their own masks.

    Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee say it’s “completely irresponsible and unethical for the IRS to demand those workers obtain their own protective equipment.”

    The panel released an email from the agency, which said the IRS was trying to obtain personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks and gloves, but that “each IRS facility may not be able to initially procure the PPE for all employees immediately. Employees are therefore required to bring personal face coverings for their nose and mouth area when they come to work.”

    We’re just circling the drain. We ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Those ingénues who believe troops are being positioned to “ensure food security” will be among the first to discover otherwise. Get away, and stay away from crowds. It’s the indispensable first step.

    Yep, that pretty much sums it up: stay away from crowds!

    And when it comes to equipment and supplies – good enough and plenty of it!

    Dumbfuck doesn’t think about the role of VP in a Campaign.

    What can they deliver?

    Kamala Harris will lock down California. But then again a city councilman or even a Diner owner from South Dakota wouldn’t lose California.

    Stacey Abrams pushes GA and possibly FL a little more to the blue so definitely worth consideration.

    @78

    Note the framing

    mo’ money.

    Sure increase funds for people who really need it. The PR nightmare for Donald and the GOP is a shit ton of businesses and people who actually needed money (your local independent espresso spot, your favorite mom and pop sports bar, your hair salon) got nothing or next to nothing while billion dollar “small businesses’ hoovered up the existing approved money.

    Typical Dumbfuck/Republican. WE GOT OURS FIRST! Now bug your congressman for yours.

    Harley-Davidson shares up 14% right now. Earnings results reported after the bell.

    In the Dumbfuck Rabbit household the little round thing at top of the screen is called the Catheter Cam.

    @88 Harley’s problem is that their product appeals to a generation that’s aging out of the market, and younger people don’t have the same affinity for motorcycles.

    I can’t explain today’s 15% bump, because I don’t follow this stock anymore. I turned a nice profit on HOG after the financial crisis. Possibly it just got too oversold. As a stock investment it’s still only a sad shadow of what it used to be. Value Line’s sales projections for 2021 are well below the 2014-2015 peak.

    “President Trump is expected to sign a five-page executive order under the Defense Production Act today that compels meat processing plants to remain open ….

    “The administration is also working … on issuing guidance about which employees should remain home … to protect facilities that are required to stay open from liability issues. …

    “The President … underscored that ‘there’s plenty of supply. It’s distribution. It was a unique circumstance because of liability,’ he added.”

    https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/us-coronavirus-update-04-28-20/h_dbbb0eaa06219c9b62f01438fb56b910

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Note this is all about protecting companies like Tyson from “liability.” Trump doesn’t give a damn that hundreds of workers in these plants are getting Covid-19 and some are dying. At a time like this, somebody’s gotta be sacrificed to keep profits flowing.

    (Full Disclosure: Roger Rabbit owns shares of Hershey, but doesn’t own shares of meatpacking or food processing companies.)

  94. 94

    As of about a week ago, a single Chinese-owned meat-processing plant in Sioux Falls accounted for half of South Dakota’s Covid-19 infections, and nearly 100% of Covid-19 cases in Sioux Falls were plant workers or those who had come in contact with plant workers. Many of the plant’s workers are immigrants. That plant was closed. Now President Bleach Injections is reopening it, and Doctor Dumbfuck and every other Republican dumbfuck will vote for this.

    @96 “You lawyers are a bunch of greedy motherfuckers, that’s for sure!”

    Yes, we own NBA teams, restaurant chains, and other corporate titans scooping up small business relief funds, and we’re also cornering all the supplies of masks and gowns to resell at 1000% markups. Honest Christian Republican businessmen never do things like that, so it’s gotta be the lawyers.

  98. 98

    Isn’t it interesting that GOP donor John Tyson’s company needs legal immunity and the government forcing workers back onto the production lines for its business model to work.

    And it’s equally interesting that the GOP needs donations from people like Tyson, massive vote suppression, and the collapse of the U.S. Postal Service for its political model to work.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/28/coronavirus-mike-pence-tours-mayo-clinic-without-mask.html

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Reopening beaches. Forcing workers back to petri-dish processing plants. Refusing to wear masks in medical facilities. It almost feels like Republicans want to kill us all so they can have this country to themselves.

    @96 “You lawyers are a bunch of greedy motherfuckers, that’s for sure!”

    Of course I agree with him, and not just because Trump is a terrible president, but because I think we need two funcitonal parties, so competition will keep them from going off the rails.

    Abject surrender

    What used to be called mainstream conservatism has not absorbed Trump – he has absorbed it. Almost the entire right-wing half of American politics has surrendered abjectly to him. It has sacrificed on the altar of wanton stupidity the most basic ideas of responsibility, care and even safety.

    A good read

    A pattern is emerging.

    (1) There’s a coordinated effort by rightwing propagandists to downplay the seriousness of Covid-19 (e.g., “its just the flu”).
    (2) There’s a coordinated push to get workers back into factories, processing plants, etc., before it’s safe.
    (3) There’s a coordinated campaign to pass legislation shielding employers from lawsuits by workers who get Covid-19 on the job.

    The loud-and-clear message: Workers are expendable.

    Fintan O’Toole: Donald Trump has destroyed the country…

    I have to wonder if The Even Bigger Fucking Moron recalls John Kerry’s 2004 claims about all of the world leaders who contacted him to tell him they wanted him to win. We were never told who they were.

    Didn’t much matter, did it?

    Ireland declared itself “neutral” in WWII. Irish soldiers who fought with the British against the Nazis were treated as deserters by their own country.

    You’re a fucking imbecile, Tbe Even Bigger Fucking Moron. There is no good reason anyone should give a shit what Ireland thinks of us. Especially someone who makes his real living as a “drama critic“.

    You make a wonderful drama queen, The Even Bigger Fucking Moron.

    North Carolina, WRAL-TV/Survey USA, Biden 50%, Trump 45%

    If anything, Biden is going up in the polls; he led by only 1% in the last North Carolina poll (April 16).

    @ 112

    Workers are expendable. Profits are not.

    Since 2005 you’ve regaled us with endless claims of how much money you took from stupid Republicans with your stock trades, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.

    You never once told us how many children of lower-wage earners you fed in the process.

    You’re married, now, to your laughably pitiful brokerage balance, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit. Your wife is a moron for sticking around after the failed career you have had and poor investment decisions you have made.

    What little profit you have made is essential. You’ve never given two shits about the employees of the companies in which you invest, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.

    @115 “Since 2005 you’ve regaled us with endless claims of how much money you took from stupid Republicans with your stock trades, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.”

    I’ve done all right. I retired years before you did.

    “You never once told us how many children of lower-wage earners you fed in the process.”

    I know how many you fed. None. That’s because any worker earning your idea of a minimum wage is feeding his/her children with food stamps.

    “You’re married, now, to your laughably pitiful brokerage balance, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.”

    You’ve got me here. My dividend income has gone down more than yours has.

    “Your wife is a moron for sticking around after the failed career you have had and poor investment decisions you have made.”

    She knows I’m not perfect, but she also realizes some other wives have it worse; I’m not out in the barn fucking the horse.

    “What little profit you have made is essential.”

    For what? I don’t have to buy hay to get laid.

    “You’ve never given two shits about the employees of the companies in which you invest, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.”

    As I’ve said before, I’m a lot like you. We’re both capitalists. We’re both greedy and amoral. We both vote for sexual harassers. I don’t have anything better to do than post here. Really, the only difference between us I can think of is that I fuck my own species.

    “@110 Nobody cares.”

    Anything to distract from the colossal failures of Doctor Dumbfuck and his orange moron.

    “Net impact of latest Tara Reade allegations: Zero.”

    Women should be believed when they’re believable. Reade has too many problems with her story line.

    The doctor’s other problem, besides America’s women already hating him and his orange moron for damned good reason, is that, as tens of thousands of Americans are dying because Doctor Dumbfuck and his orange moron royally fucked up big-time, it really only serves to remind America’s women during this awful pandemic of these two morally bankrupt accuser’s moral failings in regards to them, which are off-the-charts fucked up.

  120. 120

    @119 When I say “nobody cares,” what I’m saying is that Biden isn’t Trump, and that’s all anybody cares about. Anybody but Trump will do. If the Democrats ran a dog, it would get elected.

    …they’re losing a lucrative opportunity…

    Zounds! Gadzooooks! Such an opportunity!

    Mateo, 47, a documented guest worker living in shared housing with seven other guest workers who sends home monthly remittances to his family in Honduras, becomes ill, is hospitalized briefly before recovering, and is stuck with a substantial hospital bill because his food processor employer terminates him and denies his state worker’s comp claims. Before getting sick and losing his job Mateo was earning $11 per hour with infrequent overtime. He owns a 17 year old Dodge Dakota, a few pieces of silver jewelry, and some clothes.

    Indeed. Very, very lucrative.

    All those big fancy firms on the view floors of glass towers have a vast practice in worker’s compensation law.

    Yup.

  124. 124

    @122 No problem. A strip mall bankruptcy lawyer will take care of his medical bills, he can hitch a ride on a shrimp boat back to Honduras, and he’s all good to go.

  126. 126

    Bad news, in fact terrible news, for Doctor Dumbfuck:

    “Multiple female politicians are throwing their support behind former Vice President and apparent Democratic nominee Joe Biden as he responds to a sexual assault allegation from 27 years ago.”

    https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/29/democratic-women-rally-behind-joe-biden-as-he-faces-sexual-assault-allegation.html

    It’s too late, dumbfuck. The statute of limitations has run on the GOP’s nominating process. You should’ve picked a different candidate. The one you’ve got makes Biden acceptable, no matter what he’s done.

    You chose poorly.

  127. 127

    119,
    Reade has too many problems with her story line.

    Most such allegations look that way at first. This is somebody attempting to recall with reasonably precise detail events that they claim took place almost three decades ago. It’s pretty natural to expect there to be a few details missing, incorrect, or out of chronological order. Even with an accuser who has had many months to prepare to go public and worked with attorneys and other advisers.

    The real weakness lies in the overarching fact that despite breathless, fervent whispers from the Trumpian media, the allegations so far can’t be born out in any way. Despite literally thousands of journalists as well as dozens of Boat Full O’Dildos “investigators” digging for anything more to build on the detail or corroborate the key claim, nothing has turned up.

    So The Q Clearance Pussy neeeeeeeds there to be a vast conspiracy among journalists to somehow “overlook” all the “evidence”. But that conspiracy would by necessity have to include all the Boat Full O’Dildos “investigators” like Jacob Wohl, James O’Keefe, and Jim Hoft, as well as the Trumpian media itself like OANN, Breitbart, and FOX. They too must be in on it.

    THEY”RE ALL IN ON IT!
    FOLLOW THE BREADCRUMBS!
    BENGHAAAAAAZIIIII!!!!!!!!

    It’s probably inevitable that someone whose identity as a troll is so closely tied to his claims of wealth and investment prowess will be losing a shit ton of investment savings in 2020. What’s hard to comprehend is why it would choose to compound that by making itself into such a glaring subject of ridicule and humiliation with all this Q anon conspiracy garbage. But still very fun to watch.

  128. 128

    A strip mall bankruptcy lawyer will take care of his medical bills,

    Yeah. Sounds pretty lucrative to me. Guys like that rank highly on K Street and spend lots of time working closely with their Senate “colleagues” working out favorable legislative language. Sure.

    Amash announcement should cost Trump an easy 10,000 votes in Michigan. That’s another 16 EVs out of the 38 needed. With Amash on the ballot MI is a flip.

    One state down. Two more to go… before we can begin building the landslide that carries the Senate. PA is solidifying nicely. And even Wisconsin is coming around thanks to Trump’s new “Fuck The Workers” slogan. So the obvious next stop is North Carolina.

    I wonder how many of the “reopen” protesters are going to apply for the vacant $7.25-an-hour jobs in chicken processing plants after the regular crews refuse to return to work?
