#Karenovirus is spreading!

Not sure what started this incident but, to me, it’s obvious this woman is either a major drama queen or needs to be medicated, heavily.


And this poor FedEx driver.

My original guess, when we were first furloughed, was not til after Labor Day

trump pivots in Covid Blame Game. It's now YOUR fault, America!

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/05/18/politics/trump-us-death-toll-blame-reopen/index.html

Two of President Donald Trump's top officials are now pointing the finger at the administration's own scientists and Americans' pre-existing health conditions to explain the country's world-leading Covid-19 death toll.

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar suggested Sunday that underlying health conditions, including among minorities, were one reason for the high American death toll -- nearly 90,000 as of Sunday evening. And Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro added the government's own Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to its list of scapegoats alongside China and the Obama administration.

The White House has been escalating its effort to recast the narrative of its own chaotic response to the crisis as it aggressively pushes to reopen the country, a process vital to the fortunes of millions of people who have lost their jobs in lockdowns and its own political prospects in November.

Ben Sasse (TraitorGOP-Nebraska) commencement speech to 2020 HS seniors. This. Is. Painful.

Wow! Ben Sasse (TraitorGOP-Nebraska) thought he would be cool (?) and give a commencement speech video to 2020 high school graduates

He managed to insult: the graduates themselves (multiple times), teachers, coaches, parents, psychologists and the entire field of Psychology, rant about Tiger King and murder hornets and completely embarrass himself

This is painful. Painful.

Just ran my first 10k (in training)

Holy sh*tballs! Just ran my first #10K !

Training for the Disney Food & Wine 10k in November. Only planned on a 5 mile run tonight w/my daughter, who’s training for the Dopey Challenge next Jan (5k, 10k, half marathon, full marathon). Our route took us 6.2 miles exactly. 1:35:00. Not bad for a 53 year-old couch potato (until two weeks ago)

Covidiocy - the new pandemic

I swear, the human race is doomed. There are new articles out discussing new symptoms *related* to Covid-19 (rashes in children, strokes and blood clotting, etc)

Every time a local news FB group posts one of these articles, there’s an onslaught of “fake news”, “it’s not Covid“, “it’s not related “, “not reading it”, “more fear mongering”

This is *information*! It’s not fear-mongering! I wanna bang their heads into a wall!

It’s something to keep an eye out for. Have kids or grandkids and see an odd rash with no explanation, think about this. Have hypertension or high cholesterol? Be aware!

This isn’t an episode of Family Guy! The virus isn’t going to knock on your door and go “Tag, you’re infected!”

This is reality!

Jesus. Suffering. Fuck. You addled, psychotic, pathetically sociopathic shitstain excuse for a human being.
Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
Remember this, every Governor who has sky high approval on their handling of the Coronavirus, and I am happy for them all, could in no way have gotten those numbers, or had that success, without me and the Federal Governments help. From Ventilators to Testing, we made it happen!
