The Supreme court of Wisconsin, the politicians who, sickeningly, argued in favor of it going forward like this.

No one was suggesting we abandon our right to vote – what was being suggested was that we do so differently.  Postpone it, do a mail in vote – to keep this fucking virus from growing more, from sickening and killing more people.

This is chaotic for any Country, for a leader that important to be struck by illness in such a time of crisis.

That these sanctions really need to be brought to an end.  As for how we actually get them to end… I dont know.  It isnt like our votes are going to do it.  So, maybe the best thing would be for other Nations to reply in kind.  Perhaps if China and Russia and all of Europe imposed severe sanctions in the U.S., people here might get a clu…[Read more]

For now.  There doesnt seem to be much data on this at all. Reduces the virus by 99.8% within 48 hours?  Sounds too good to be true.  I hope it is – that would be awesome – but the evidence so far looks thin.

Unless it is some kind of scam, or something, which would be… well, just like the Biden campaign.

If it is true – and I suspect that it is – then “tone deaf” doesn’t begin to cover it.  Heheh.  2800 bucks to listen to that fuckwit in a livestream?  Reminds me of when Romney held that… what was it, 50K a plate dinner?  The one where he called some 40something percent of American people “takers” and some clever person recorded it, bas…[Read more]

If there is any kind of election in November, Trump is going to crush Biden – assuming Biden is the nominee.  No reason for Trump to cancel the election.  If it were Bernie… well, then things might be a little different.  I’m not sure that can happen at this point – I think that there is massive fraud, ballot machine manipulation and so on an…[Read more]

There was a whole lot of time to setup a system to do this with, just mail everyone a ballot, have them fill it out, drop it in the mailbox.  Makes it a whole hell of a lot easier to take proper precautions.  I don’t know why the god damned morons (Biden and those of his ilk) are still urging people to go out in public and v…[Read more]

These days, it costs quite a bit to hire someone to mow the lawn, or in winter, especially in places like here in Northern Maine, to shovel the roof.  I have heard that it used to be different.  That a lot of people, especially younger people, used to do it just to help out.  Some of them made some money – but it was nothing like today.  Last tim…[Read more]

We could ask Pelosi, or Clinton, or Schumer, or any number of those idiots… but, more particularly, we could ask Mr. Nominee to be – Joe Biden.  He has stated that he will veto medicare for all even if it does pass Congress and the Senate.  If you can’t support medicare for all by now – then you are an idiot.  Forget republican or democrat.

“Feldheim’s defense lawyer, James Moriarty, denied the charges and said his client had not yet entered a plea.”

The games afoot.

They won’t be too worried about their stocks while they are in prison – I think they’ll have slightly larger concerns.

He is asking people to go out, vote, get exposed to the virus – and maybe get sick and maybe die – just to vote for him?  Who the fuck does he think he is?  Jesus?

What privatization has done to this Country is sick.  In a public health crisis… it seems the very simplest of common sense to direct aid to public hospitals. They need to maintain their staff, they need equipment and any new staff they can get.  If those god damn idiots didnt prioritize public hospitals in the bill, they are s…[Read more]

For the U.S., if you click on the Country it gives you a state by state breakdown.  Confirmed cases, critical cases, deaths, etc.

Or, if you dont believe the stats there, call or email or write to pretty much any official in NYC.

I would like to think we are past the point of thinking this is some…[Read more]

Here in the U.S. isn’t actual evidence that, jeez, this is pretty serious?  Complete and accurate statistics – if and when they come – could tell us any number of things, but as for right now, the numbers being reported are bad.  At the very least it indicates widespread infection and, well, you know, a thousand and forty nine people dying of it…[Read more]

He will drop out of the race and support Bernie Sanders.  That is the only way that that is going to happen.  It is probably the only way we are going to avoid another four more years of Donald Trump.  No one will believe him on climate change, none of us believe he will protect social security, or challenge the corporations, or really make any re…[Read more]
