Yep, as my daddy used to say: “there’s nothing wrong with shooting...as long as the right people get shot.”

most of the people who are armed to the teeth, who insist that they need their arsenal as a bulwark against tyranny, actually favor the idea of the government calling in troops to brutalize people calling for equal rights for black and brown people.

As a neighbour to your North, I just can’t understand how everyone in the US  is armed to the teeth, but the likes of a Tom Cotton never catch a bullet. 

Tom Cotton is a fascist who doesn’t support the 1st Amendment. A Congressperson like that should be banned from their seat.

Judging by the near barren state of my bar: yes.

I mean, isn’t everyone drinking a lot more than usual right now?

You are a kinder soul than I. Were I working remotely, and showed up on a Zoom meeting intoxicated, I would be immediately canned. These are work hours. And I’m earning in a month that which JP earns in five minutes, I imagine. But different classes, different sets of rules. Nothing to see here, folks. 

Larry Kudlow was fired from Bear-Stearns for a cocaine addiction.  How bad must his coke habit been if an investment bank thought it was TOO MUCH?

As despicable as I think Jeanine Pirro is, under the present circumstances, I’m not going to hold it against her. She’s a commentator, not a news anchor, and like so many of us, she’s forced to work from home. If I was a political commentator on TV, and I had to isolate myself at home, fuck if I’m not going to have a…

Do you mean to imply that there are times when Jeanine Pirro isn’t drunk?

“...several technical difficulties...”

I use a treadmill instead of an exercise bike, but I listen to audiobooks from the library while I’m jogging along.

A metaphor for my life

“But, what do I know, I’m just a smart(and poor) person.”

It was doomed from the beginning. I always conflate it with the taxi app of the same name.

Or...you could just buy a used exercise bike for $50 and watch thousands of free videos on YouTube. But, what do I know, I’m just a smart(and poor) person

Again, it’s riding into nowhere 

Calling this “her abuse by Hickerson” is strange passive phrasing. Shouldn’t it be “his abuse of Panettiere”? I understand that she is the focus but phrasing it passively like that takes onus away from the abuser.
