And don’t comment for a year after you start reading here. I, white lady, have learned tons via that approach. But I try to stay in my lane.

I’m in the Navy, I’ve been ship’s company on an aircraft carrier before and I cannot stress this enough: crews do not do this for outgoing Commanding Officers, even ones that the crew likes. This guy stepped up to take care of his crew when it was obvious that big Navy wasn’t going to do it and was fired. The Navy is…

Killing the messenger is Trump’s go to play.

Michael, once again thank you.

But mostly, now I’m just angry as fuck, man. Knowing that so much of what’s happening in America now could’ve been prevented; so many Steves who have died and will continue to die, and that motherfucker tweets about ratings.

Uh Barack told you what to do in 2016 and you fake ass progressives ignored him. It is not Barack’s job or The Clinton’s job to do anything. Oh maybe you should take you head out of your ass and see what The Clinton Foundation and Obama Foundation have been doing during this time. Hint it is more than your ass is…

Prayers can be said at home. Reading of sacred texts can be done at home. Lots of churches/temples/mosques are offering online services. The only reason someone would call for huge gatherings right now  would be to pass the collection plate and scream “persecution!” when they are ( rightfully) shut down. People are…

A significant percentage of the folks who voted for the current occupant of the White House did it for one reason: they were bitter and resentful of what Obama had done during his eight years, and they wanted as much of it rolled back as possible. And he’s doing exactly that.

Possibly because the president might be giving more aid to states that are nice to him. [Washington Post]

Having been to TX many times in the last 10 years, and having made many friends there, it pains me to say this, and yet, I must say it:

Amazon isn’t necessary though, it’s just easier. We’re just as much a part of the problem. We know our goods are made in sweat shops then delivered to us by overworked people, but we still do it because we’re ok with overlooking things if it means we’re more comfortable. 

I suspect they’re investigating it. The big outlets aren’t going to touch this without their own investigation/confirmation, and the virus probably throws up a lot of barriers to fact-checking. (Like ... Reade mentions reporting Biden to the Senate personnel office. If a reporter wanted to check if there was still evid…

There’s no insult so biting as “your a moron” (except maybe “your a idiot”, but that’s more of a toothless bite).

And most of the trash white people voting for this administration, how is “telling it like it is”, treating you, whatever the fuck that means, oh wait, we found out, it’s fuck all of reason just like his inability to fix real world situations like you fucking morons who voted for him.

I think that, in the abstract, wanting to help China slow the spread of the virus is defensible. But if you’re going to do it, a) Make sure when you do that you aren’t impairing our ability to do it too; and b) own that decision, don’t point fingers at everyone else when it doesn’t work out.

This is why I think that Covid-19 should be called the Trumps (like the Mumps). He needs to own this disease. He likes putting his name on everything anyway.

Trump should be going to prison for the way he is politicizing supply shipments.

A few things from a person on the ground in Michigan:

Considering we have Republicans like Jacob Wohl and James O’Keefe actively fabricating allegations against people like Mueller, and Franken, I’ll hold my judgement until I see a credible news source actually REPORT on it. 

NPR didn’t air the briefing today and just went with their usual All Things Considered broadcast. Bliss.
