And now, from the state that brought you Scott Walker and Paul Ryan: EASILY AVOIDABLE DEATH!

This. It just means America will have to choose between a racist, authoritarian rapist with dozens of accusations against him, who thinks the solution to a pandemic is mass genocide to save capitalism, and Biden, who likes to hug people inappropriately, was accused of misconduct by one woman, and might not be as far…

Obama was the reason why the economy was doing so well. The US economy had been steadily creating jobs at a good clip without a hiccup since 2010. That’s the hand of a steady leader who turned around the Great Recession.

They should have been ramping up testing infrastructure, ventilator production, and the like *in fucking January*. Kind of like what happened with SARS, MERS, swine flu, etc. We got ready BEFORE it reached us and were well prepared and protected.

“Economy good, Orange Man good.”....oh wait, you can’t say that anymore can you?

Ahh yes. It is a HUGE mystery why Obama would take credit for the post 2008 economy and take no credit for something that happened three years after he left office.

Ok, bro. We get it, keep your political bias and cognitive dissonance to yourself.

He’s bungled this situation so badly he is grasping for anything that makes him look competent. Full disclosure: I work for the company in question. I don’t agree with everything we do, but I am proud that we did the right thing here and I’m super irritated that he is trying to take credit for it. 

Try to be safe out there!

I have to be at my job too, and I am enjoying the 23 minute drive home instead of the usual half hour if I’m lucky. 

The issue is that the people who elected Trump are dedicated to being persuaded by whatever cockamamie lie, excuse, or deflection he comes up with to exculpate himself or whatever. Even if it’s demonstrably false that Trump did or did not do XYZ, his followers will adopt whatever position validates their desire to…

It’s impossible to switch back to using steam. The entire ship is designed to use EMALS. There’s EMALS equipment and cabling all over the ship, and none of the equipment it would need to use steam catapults. Switching back to steam would require a complete retrofit. President Trump demanded that they switch back to…

Do you know that this guy’s net worth is almost three billion dollars...? He wouldn’t have a penny of that without his workers. I think he/the company should have offered some sort of part -wage stipend for a few months at least, and perhaps at least offered health insurance for even the part-time/contractors- which…

Even as everyday life is grinding to a halt, another Trump-promoting politician heads to prison. There are just that many.

I hear he bought some computer games with some of his ill-gotten funds. I wonder if Kotaku would be interested in a perspective on gaming in the big house... You know...call it “Con Game” or something like that...

Airport workers just aren’t showing up for their shifts. And probably rightly so, since the higher ups are just fucking morons. There is incompetence everywhere and this virus is exposing it all. Employees coming in contact with possibly sick passengers without protective gear?

Fuck Donald Trump 

In Washington, all events over 250 people have been cancelled. Today I have seen Facebook posts or Tweets from every theater company, museum, sports team, and events company I follow that they are completely closed through the end of the month. Lots of restaurants have also closed, either temporarily or permanently…

This. Remember that aspect of Obama’s speech pattern that people would make fun of? “We just have to....consider all the possible....angles of the situation...” All those ellipses are the hallmark of a guy who has time to think about and properly formulate what’s coming out of his mouth. Joe should definitely get into…

Thank you. I’m not the biggest Biden fan, but it pisses me off that people are saying he is in some kind of mental decline (just like Hillary). The man has struggled with stuttering his whole life. He often uses sentence abandonment to avoid stuttering which sounds off to us, but is common to those who stutter (like…
