I’m not defending austerity! Spend the money! I’d love to pull 98% of the military’s budget away and spend it on programs that work. But I work for the government and know that’s not realistic. You’ve got to exist within the playbook you’re given and, within the playbook that we’ve been given to battle Covid, four…

God he has been an even bigger disappointment than I anticipated. 

I couldn’t tell for sure what the article’s stance was on low vaccination rate “blame”. It was mentioned right after/alongside pointing fingers at Biden for not doing more testing, sooner, so it seemed like a “guilt by association” attempt to me. If unintentional, then I withdraw the question.

4 tests per household, ours works at at 1 per person. I agree with everything else you wrote though.

Yeah but to be honest I’ll take Biden’s ‘too little, too late” as a welcome return of our governmental norms as opposed to Trump admin’s “we’re going to make things much MUCH worse” malicious incompetence.

1) This shows the importance of constantly putting pressure on politicians, especially this administration, because it’s headed by centrists whose instinct always seems to be to mock the idea that the government really can solve a problem. It was just a month ago that Jen Psaki scoffed at the idea of doing this very…

Not 4 tests per person - 4 tests per address. So for our household, that is 2 per person; YMMV depending on size of household

This is a breathtakingly piss poor take, and you should be ashamed of yourself, Susan.

Soooo….what’s your plan? Have White House interns hand deliver tests to people? Get the Army Corps employees to start manufacturing tests in-house? Arrest and force vaccinate the people who refuse to get the shot or forcibly remove them to remote locations?

If only people in this country could learn lessons...

Eh, the post office can handle it. I agree that it’s way too late. We needed this 18 months ago, but we had The Orange One and President Kushner on the job, so it’s no wonder it didn’t even make the agenda.

I know people have been saying Gawker Media-G/O Media is going down the drain for at least 10 years, but the recent departures really were the death knell of these websites.

I’ve never seen someone shoot themselves in the foot so many times in so few paragraphs. That he thought this would be a positive is... well, just further proof he’s a total ass.

Babe, what? I mean, I bop to Britney’s music as much as the next millennial, but I don’t feel all that strongly about her as a musician one way or another.

I agree with you- that was my poor attempt to make a concise point... I don’t know how Britney would be able to extricate herself from that incredibly toxic and codependent family. She’s in her 40's and has never managed her own life. This is going to be VERY hard for her when they’re all she was allowed to interact…

Don’t get it twisted, the K’s make me itch, but I don’t think any of them would be under the heading of “gold-digger” except maybe mommy dearest. Kim was running a 2nd hand clothing business even before her dad died. The bitch has hustle and took one hell of a bad public hand and turned that shit into gold. HER gold.…

I think it’s hard to do, but sometimes necessary. I think this is a really good example of it, and of how Britney plays right into their hands by continuing to engage. By responding to everything, Britney magnifies everything. It’s classic Streisand effect. Would anyone have known or cared about a Jamie Lynn Spears…

Came here to say the same thing.

He doesn’t like his things to let go.

I wonder if his extreme “I can sleep around but I will control my separated wife’s life” misogyny is the same as it always was or was made worse by his sudden conversion to Evangelical Christianity.
