We had our chances... This shit is about to fall the fuck apart. Don’t be distracted by a bunch of folks going over board on the statue removal because Trump is done and he’ll burn it all down

A prairie fire is coming.

So NOW the CDC releases guidelines for ‘reopening (sacrificing) the country.’

This Administration is throwing people away for the sake of Trumps vanity.

Remember the whole “MASK/No Mask” back forth most of y’all had with Bo?

This Administration had information and only sowed confusion when they should have been uniting the people.

Then when they saw WHO was getting wiped away well...

But as I’ve been saying in here for weeks there is a prairie fire raging and the heartland ain’t ready.

If you are religiously observant pray for lives of our fellow citizens here and around the world, and pray for the souls of those who don’t give a fuck about them or the rest of us

Radio news not 100% correct...but not too far from the truth.

"It's just astonishing that this man is president of the United States. The man, the con man, from New York City. Many bankruptcies, failed businesses, a reality show, that branded him as something that he never was. A successful businessman. Well, he's the President of the United States now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he's brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale. And let's be clear. This isn't happening in every country around the world. This place. Our place. Our home. Our country. The United States. We are the epicenter. We are the place where you're the most likely to die from this disease. We're the ones with the most shattered economy. And we are because of the fool that sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk."



Speaking of lies...

[barton]

The whole conversation...is an exercise in the lowered expectations that come with Trump.  Why is it that we need to play a fucking guessing game on whether the man who was elected to be President of the United States of America is "joking" or lying or just talking out of his ass....

[kiidcarter8]

Seattle's mayor says the city will move to wind down the 'occupied' protest zone
•There have been two shootings in the zone, including one that left a man dead


That's not all.  Violent crimes including rape have been on police reports, says the mayor.


But let's NEGOTIATE the removal of these people.

[bambu.]

Donald Trump is US President because the American people elected him such...under exactly the same system as they elected Barack Obama President.

[barton]

Will pianos be next on the "cancel culture"  list...white keys larger than black keys.

You really need another hobby.   Go shoot your tired old white balls somewhere else. 

Edit:  just saw Lime already made a white ball joke.   Oh well,  the more the merrier. 

[Hairy Lime]

my radio 6am news just announced that :

"Protesters in Washington DC are battling it out with police  in an area near th White House. They've told the police
that they the police have to leave because they the protesters are settling up a 6 block Black House Autonomous Zone."

Of course.
Why am I not surprised.

Because you are a RACIST who will swallow any lie about African Americans or other persons of color without fact checking or even thinking would be my guess.

Seattle is Dying

Maybe elect a better Governor, better mayor etc?

That was Trump's suggestion. At least for heavily armed white people.

More like it's what was predicted to happen in places in America besides Seattle.
Terrence Floyd told protesters they should not be destroying things like in the past, that they should be doing things differently.

As the video shows, Seattle was dying long before the latest debacle.

[barton]

Trump demanded prison sentences for 'disgraceful vandalism,' also considers Jackson his favorite president...   

Wow.   Let that last bit sink in.   Andrew Jackson.    Good God,  is this some newer, more shrill dogwhistle?   The president who's trying to convince PoC that he's their man picks Andrew Genocide Jackson as fave.

[kiidcarter8]

The crux:


"So, instead of 25 million tests, let's say we did 10 million tests. We'd look like we were doing much better because we'd have far fewer cases. You understand that," Trump told CBN. "I wouldn't do that, but I will say this: We do so much more than other countries it makes us, in a way, look bad but actually we're doing the right thing."

[REDSTATEWARD]

Well. I guess we can eliminate future statues to
Jenny Durkan and Ellen Futter.

[barton]

Just to clarify:  the metric for a pandemic's effect is HOSPITALIZATIONS,  and not positive tests.   The former actually reflects trends in the disease, in a developed country.  Whereas the latter is often muddled by changing rates of testing.
