it's a win-win: wear mask (defying trump) or die (supporting trump)

Either way, Magats enable the "liberal" agenda.
Karma feels really good right now. This is delicious.

The war on democracy -- bigger than election 2020

There's another thread citing Bill Kristol's tweet about Trump's strategy being tied to voter suppression, executive privilege, foreign interference.....etc.

So then, why are we focusing on getting out the vote? It didn't it work in 2016 when Clinton got the popular count, but Trump got the white house.

Shouldn't we be focusing instead on the other factors working in Trump's favor?

How can we combat executive privilege and foreign interference? How can we reverse or stall McConnell's abetment to the forces that diminish and destroy our democracy?

Voting blue is great. But it's not enough I fear.

Hey Karen, meet John

He's a friend of mine. John wrote this on Facebook and it's worth a read. He's a white guy, not that it matters.

Hearing a lot of "Karens" complaining about the hijacking of their name for slang. As a "John," I am not empathetic:
- One that solicits a prostitute is called a "John."
- The place in which humans relieve themselves, "The John."
- Even better, if the potty is portable, it's a "Port a John!"
- Writing a letter to tell your boyfriend you found a new guy while he's off at war, send a "Dear John" letter!
- The crappiest & cheapest boat one can own; a "John Boat."
Need I say more?

Seen in Ohio: "Any functioning adult 2020"

I smiled when I saw the sign below for the first time ever in Upper Arlington (suburb of Columbus)-- is this a thing? I hope so!

Trump World: Ohio

On our drive to visit a relative who lives in rural-ish Ohio (it's about 1 hour out from Columbus), Trump yard signs stood front of one house after another. I see flagpoles with Trump flags (if you live in the midwest you know people put flag poles in their front yards -- odd midwest quirk, I guess). These people probably never read newspapers. They have no fucking clue how screwed they are.

Gates Notes on Coronavirus

If you haven't already read it, Bill Gates' summarization of research into vaccines/treatments for Covid is worth a read.

It is a sobering, rational and clear-eyed look at where we are, in a non-science language. Grateful for his insight and charity.

Embarrassed by Your Parents?

Normal people get help for elderly parents who do embarrassing things to spare themselves the humiliation. Not Ivanka. Not Donnie Jr. Not whatever-the-other-one -is-called.

These assholes campaign for this motherfucking embarrassment, shamelessly.

The adult Trump children either lack self-awareness, or they are truly evil.

Listen, your fathert is killing people with his stupidity. And you're making money off of his actions. And your spouses, too.

Fuck you, Trump children. Damn you all to hell.

Dear Karma, shut these motherfuckers up

Dear Karma,
Shut these motherfuckers up, please, before they get us all killed. You have the power to wipe ther smug asses off the face of he earth, just like that. We need you to do apply justice today, more than ever.

I'm praying to you, as you alone are the cosmic force capable of defeating hypocrites and evil doers - and enemies of America's greatness.

Please Karma do your thing. As quickly as possible.

Amen.

John Bolton's book is DOA

Am I the only one cheering it's inevitable demise?

He put it off to maximize impact. And now, he's missed his window. LOL.

Maybe karma will pay a visit. I can see it now.... "Bolton Book Published Posthumously" with a lead that reads, "Two years after he disbanded the pandemic response team that could have spared hundreds of thousands of American lives including his own, John Bolton was laid to rest."
