Yep, not everything Trump does is wrong.

But goddamn has he been on a huge extended losing streak.

What’s that about a broken clock?

Pray for RBG.

The docs revised her bile stent
So keeps writing strong dissent
She does her best to right wrongs
And keeps her bile where it belongs

Sometimes called notorious
For defending citizens clitorious
When it comes to equal rights
She's relentless and laborious.

She's notorious RBG
Can't shoot her down  with an RPG.

Taking on the Trumpistan minions
With carefully worded minority opinions.

Lard the court with Trumpian factotums
Her sharp points of law
Will contract their little scrotums.

Wiser heads prevail in Minny

The Minneapolis Charter Commission voted earlier this week to keep a police reform proposal off of November's ballot, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported. The measure would have scrapped a city requirement to maintain a police force of a size based on the city's population.

Fauci explains why some of us are more at risk for COVID-19 than others:


How do we get the most vulnerable people, particularly poor Black people, access to health care, access to preventative stuff? What kind of resources could we redirect?

First of all, a great awareness of the need that if you're African American and you get infected, it is more likely you're going to have a serious outcome. So we've got to just get a public awareness on the part of clinics and hospitals that you have to pay special attention to that, you have someone at a greater risk. And when you know you have someone at a greater risk, you make certain medical decisions. You may get them in the hospital earlier. So we've got to educate people on that.

The longer-term one is something that you're not going to cure overnight, and that is the economic and other conditions that African Americans find themselves in that they're not in a situation where they get a greater access to health care from a more of an economic standpoint.

But the other thing that I think we need to make a commitment that goes probably measured in decades. And that is, why do African Americans have a greater incidence of hypertension? Why do they have a greater incidence of diabetes? Why do they have a greater incidence of obesity? It's not genetic. It has to do with years and years of access to the right kinds of food, access to the right kind of health care. Those are the things that we've got to change. But that means that perhaps if there's one silver lining in this outbreak — which I hope there is always some silver lining in everything that's so challenging — is this, is to focus with a laser beam on the disparities in health that we've got to change, and it's got to change at the fundamental basic level. It's not going to be tonight or tomorrow or next week.


It's going to be over the next several years. So when people think about this outbreak, they say, "Hey, let's pay attention to this because it's another example." I went through the same thing early on in the early years of HIV, the disproportionate number of African Americans who get HIV infection. [They] are 13% of the population; 45% of all of the new cases of HIV are among African Americans. That's unacceptable. That's another example of the dis-- the unfortunate disparity of health.

Speaking of "defunding" the police.

The Trump campaign should be sued out of existence for failure to pay communities.

It wasn't a fucking joke. It was a pathetic attempt by that fucking fascist clown to delegitimise the 2020 election in advance as his poll #s crater. He makes false claims about mail-in voting fraud and postponing the election to see if his stooges would support his efforts to suppress an entire election and undermine our democracy.

But now his stooges are making excuses.

I saw that Pompeo thinks Barr should make the election call.

Killing people and our economy wasn't enough now the motherfuckers want to destroy our democracy.

Everything this monster touches turns to shit.

Kid the best way for you to suppport the fascist monster is to stay home on election day.
