GOP (Putin) use of coronavirus scare to keep people away from the polls?

I haven't read anything about it, but I'm 100% certain that the GOP (and Putin) have hopes of using the coronavirus as a tool to scare voters away from polls in November.

I did not know this happened. Obama on Seinfeld's new(ish) show.

We were watching it on Netflix last night (Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee), I had my back turned doing something on the computer, and Seinfeld said, "President Obama."
I spun around quickly, and was enthralled as I watched.

Obama looked terrific, sounded brilliant, and was beyond cool!

What a great 8 years that was.

This needs to be the anthem for November 2020 and beyond...

I loved it at the end of Jojo the Rabbit.



I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim;
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together;
We can beat them, for ever and ever;
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day.

I thought Joaquin's Academy Awards speech was terrific!

And the Academy's recognition of Parasite was great!
I was also very happy to see Bernie Taupin on stage receiving an award.
A great night, IMO (I missed the early part, though).

Rush Limbaugh denied smoking risks in 2015: 'Smokers aren't killing anybody'

https://www.denverpost.com/2020/02/05/rush-limbaugh-denied-smoking-risks-in-2015-smokers-arent-killing-anybody/

The conservative radio host has long extolled the glamour and societal benefits of smoking, while downplaying its dangers.

Just five years ago, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh went on a pro-tobacco rant on his show, during which he downplayed the risks of smoking, said it’s “a myth” that secondhand smoke causes illness or death and argued that smokers aren’t at any greater risk than people who “eat carrots.”

“Smokers aren’t killing anybody,” the conservative host declared in an April 2015 segment of the “Rush Limbaugh Show,” then argued that tobacco users should be thanked because their purchases generate tax dollars that fund children’s health care programs.

“I’m just saying there ought to be a little appreciation shown for them, instead of having them hated and reviled,” Limbaugh said. “I would like a medal for smoking cigars, is what I’m saying.”

Wow. WTF? It looks like we're repeating 2016. C'mon!

Let's get behind the fact that "we need ANYONE but Trump."
This is not a sporting event.
We're giving the GOP-assholes (who just gave Trump a get out of jail card) a free ride.
We need confidence now more than ever.
We cannot afford Trump to be placed in our WH again.
QUIT WITH THE INFIGHTING!!!!
