I just got back from buying some food supplies at the grocery store. Just in case.

It was crazier than the day before Thanksgiving. I would liken it to the old mall days (before online sales) on the day before Christmas.

When I got there, parking was a little tight, but when I left it looked like a baseball game parking lot.

Every aisle had a dozen shoppers. Food on the floor here and there. But one thing I noticed, nearly everyone was polite to each other. Moving out of the way for others, apologizing for being in the way. I helped a lady grabbed some cans that were too high for her to reach.

No toilet paper, paper towels, dried beans or rice, though. Pretty much everything else was there—even cough suppressant, and hand soap.

As I was shopping, over time, the aisles began to get tighter and tighter with shoppers: as if a tsunami of people was slowly moving in. I decided to check out before the lines went out the door.

The check out lines were already up to 20 people long (depending on which register you chose). Again, everyone was very polite to each other. It was quite a nice thing to see.

CNN's Begala: Trump Will 'Dump Pence' for Haley on Day of Democratic Nominee's Acceptance Speech

After he does this, those MAGAts are going to be so confused.
"Oh yeah! We hate Pence now!"
Pence was the only person who would accept the VP job in 2016. Ha ha! Now there's a rumor he's dumping the guy!

I believe he will. It sounds so Trump to do that.

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.

A 2020 voting booth for Republicans...

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!!!!

Fox "News" I cannot figure out how viewers seriously consider Fox News a responsible news outlet.

I NEVER watch the piece of junk program (and I say program, because that's what it is: carefully prepared eye-candy, and ear-candy for brainwashed idiots), but it was on tonight at the gym—right in front of me.

So from time to time, I'd look up; and EVERY SINGLE TIME I looked up, they had the words "liberal" or "Democrat" posted on the screen along with negative connotations.

If it were the first time I'd ever seen the station, it would have been 100% obvious to me that Fox News was a right wing spewing piece of crap.

What the hell is wrong with people? The crap the right wing vomits at their feet and in their faces on Fox News is so obviously filled with lies and deceit, but they eat it up like it's a free meal from a high end restaurant.
