I think it was mostly his suits that won those votes. I mean how could you find a replacement for this?

That’s fine. Corona is not done with them though.

Already discussed critically above.
Still a good pic, though.

I have been wondering if vaping is still a thing. I really can’t imagine a better way to ensure a public beatdown than puffing a visible cloud of sharasols over the heads of a dozen strangers.

She won’t die, or suffer at ill effects. They never do.

But you can be certain that they will weaponize that luck/privilege combo to the detriment of everyone else.

Seems Bad

11,458 new Florida cases.

I don’t think even most “pessimists” (including me!) really have a handle on what it means for this to just keep going, perhaps continuing to get worse, for another 3 months, and another 3 months
 From the start there was a kind of “well, by the Fall, we will surely have this under control, even with that orange dipshit in charge.” And it’s July now.

Like Iraq, the media aren’t really interested in helping people see what is going on. And just like Iraq, nobody gives a shit about people who don’t die but are crippled. With 1-2% mortality, it will be a while before everyone loses someone they know, and by that time survivor bias will if anything have increased the smug asshole quotient. Everything about this disease is perfectly designed to be impenetrable to lizard-brain, and thus utterly beyond reality-TV viewers.

My news sources suggest that there is simply no leadership in this country, no one trying to say what is happening and why, even if they have no control.

I want the one Vicente Fox had, that said “TRUMP HAS BABY FINGERS”.

There were news stories in early April about fines up to $1,000 in some California and Texas towns. I wish that would happen here. Restrictions in PA have been imposed, lifted, and then imposed again. I expect the same groups that initially complained about masks to pick up right where they left off. If only the pro-profit forces that were so successful in reducing government restrictions, disputing medical advice, and countering common sense could’ve used their powers for good. :pleading_face:

Can we please put this shithead in jail already?

(I’m on my last day of quarantine. It really isn’t such a terrible hardship.)
