Well, that’s the other thing. OK, send humanitarian medical supplies to China to help them deal with their outbreak. But did Trump or any of his administration take the initiative to resupply the deficit and ramp-up production for a  possible outbreak?

It’s “rally round the flag” affect. During times of crisis many - i.e. white -  Americans are reluctant to criticize the president (as long as he’s also white). It happened with JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis, and Bush with 9/11. It’s temporary and knowing this lunatic, he’s going to burn through it pretty fast.

He needs a small audience and/or to go fireplace chat, Biden’s strengths are his decency and comeraderie not big speeches 

This format of skyping from his basement may be the best fit yet for Biden. In fact he did two more of these today: half an hour on The View this morning, mainly with Whoopi Goldberg, and half an hour with Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC this afternoon; both went quite well (and well-selected, as he’s obviously knownand been…

Feel better and try manuka honey for your cough and sinusitis. I swear by it.

I work in a pharmacy, so we are essential, and we have been overwhelmed the last two weeks. We've filled roughly 50% more prescriptions than ever before, and that's between state board mandated hourly cleanings of all high-touch surfaces and the waiting area. I'm exhausted.

Shelter Catstravaganza!

When the restrictive social distancing methods everyone’s complaining about is basically a description of how you already live your life.

It’s not about the virus killing people.

The co-worker with type 2 diabetes has been approved to work from home. “Oh, you poor dear. You should stay home and not get sick. But the stone we’re squeezing blood from? Yeah, we’re gonna need her family’s blood, too.”

Or they can vote by mail like civilized states do.  

that would be fascinating to see what direction the primary would go based on people’s opinion of how each candidate handles the pandemic crisis.

Damn, didn’t there used to be a way to star articles or something? I also read the Jez article about deifying black people the other day. The 15 minutes combined I spent reading both of these gave a more in-depth, comprehensive view on what happened on Tuesday than the hours of tv and talk radio since. Who knew that…

We are totally ready to have a female President.

While I agree with her and Bernie on most issues, my love for Warren and ambivalence towards Bernie highlights that Warren’s supporters may not readily gravitate to Sanders.

She made the fatal error of trying to explain how her health care plan would be paid for. She should have just made promises like Bernie and Trump and never be truthful about how it would all work. People want to hear you’re getting free college, we’re going to build a wall, not turn to page 126 to see eliminating the…

I completely understand why she has dropped and I still broken. FUCK this country. This is the smartest, most competent, most capable and genuine candidate in the whole field but the ignorant voters want to keep the status quo and go with another goddamned old white guy. FUCK this country.

I dunno. Sanders isn’t a phenomenal debater, and Warren has landed some pretty memorable kill shots in the debates (most notably, obviously, against Bloomberg). If she wanted to help Sanders, arguably the biggest impact she could have is staying in long enough for one more debate, where she skewers Biden, and then…
