Nah, this is the perfect storm of idiocy. The Lite Guv is talking directly to the base of the Republican Party - Fox News-watchin’ olds.  If those people want to sacrifice themselves for The Economy, so much the better for the rest of us.

Honestly, if Trump wants to kill off the base of the Republican Party by encouraging olds to go out, fine by me.

Don’t think it’s just Texas’ governor and AG acting like idiots. The Lieutenant Governor, Dan Patrick, is out here calling for a blood sacrifice of grandparents to help fix the economy.

Terrible, terrible idea to delay the primaries. The last thing we need to do is start articulating reasons to delay or even cancel actual elections, which is what happens if we delay primaries now and this isn’t resolved completely by November.  Hell, if this isn't resolved by July, people will call for pushing back…

Honestly, with both potential nominees in their late 70s, and both showing signs of decline (Sanders confused COVID-19 with ebola, while Biden mixed it up with swine flu), the VP candidate will be the frontrunner in 2024.

Oh, man, I do not miss reading Libby Watson’s takes.

There’s this push among (racist) Republicans to start calling it the Chinese coronavirus or Wuhan virus or whatever, but it seems more and more appropriate to be calling it the CPAC coronavirus, tbh.

The problem is that, as it turns out, a lot of these over-40 college educated whites were lying to at least pollsters, if not themselves, because rather than dropping to their stated #2, they just found a new #1 in Biden. 

Well, she just dropped out.

Turning Points founder Charlie Kirk told the crowd that if you wear a Sanders shirt on any college campus, you’ll get invited to all of the cool parties.

Well, Stacey Abrams has already cashed Bloomberg’s check, and she’s gone full Bloomie surrogate.

Makes sense that she’s a big supporter of adopting rescue dogs.

Hell of a lede, though.

Never forget that time Tyson, acclaimed (astro)physicist, jumped in to say there’s no way NASCAR cars can go as fast as they do because physics and was immediately disproved by the cars, in fact, going as fast as they do.

So here are the standards (note: I’m not some fancy New York lawyer):

Please, please, please may Trump try to get his people to buy him a nomination. I’d love nothing more than to see him show up to the Grammys, expecting a win.

Don’t forget Barack’s two Grammys (and Michelle’s!)

Donald Trump is definitely the type to think the reference to Neil Young in “Sweet Home Alabama” is a shout-out, and not a shitty response to Young pointing out that, you know, racism is still a thing.

Like they’re gonna post anything about, say, Bernie breaking his promise and refusing to release his medical records?

Mike Pence definitely gave sex advice to Waldman, right? Like, the sort of patronizing, “I know your wedding night will be your first time, but do it for Jesus,” or something, right?
