I get irrationally angry about politicians doing nothing but publicly speaking out against the president without actually doing anything to reign him in.

But if you are going to publicly speak out, then I guess a thinly veiled “gently caress off” is okay with me.

The thing that makes Karofsky's 10% margin of victory even more historic and incredible is the fact that Tony Evers only beat Scott Walker by 1% in 2018, and the Republicans narrowly won another Supreme Court race last year by a fraction of a percent. This shift in the face of the pandemic and outrageous voter suppression measures is incredible.

Sure, but as opposed to “concerned” senators, Governor Cuomo doesn’t really have much ability to control the president other than telling him to gently caress off and NY State legally challenging administration policies. Which NY state and/or NYC has done on a number of issues.

https://prospect.org/coronavirus/banks-can-grab-stimulus-check-pay-debts/

quote:

This week, the $1,200 CARES Act payments Congress approved in response to the coronavirus crisis will begin to appear in Americans’ bank accounts. The funds will be wired to eligible recipients who previously authorized the IRS to post their refunds (or Social Security payments) through direct deposit. This will speed relief far more quickly than having the IRS mail a check, which could take up to five months.

But the money may not make it into the hands of those who need it to pay bills, buy food, or just survive amid mass unemployment and widespread suffering. Individuals might first have to fend off their own bank, which has just been given the power to seize the $1,200 payment and use it to pay off outstanding debt.

Congress did not exempt CARES Act payments from private debt collection, and the Treasury Department has been reluctant to exempt them through its rulemaking authority. This means that individuals could see their payments transferred from their hands into the hands of their creditors, potentially leaving them with nothing.

Oh 100% of course he has not watched it. Just remember his favorite movie is Bloodsport and only the action parts

https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/an-oral-history-of-trumps-love-of-van-dammes-bloodsport

quote:

“We hadn’t been airborne long when Trump decided to watch a movie. He’d brought along Michael, a recent release, but 20 minutes after popping it into the VCR he got bored and switched to an old favorite, a Jean-Claude Van Damme slugfest called Bloodsport, which he pronounced ‘an incredible, fantastic movie.’ By assigning to his son [Eric] the task of fast-forwarding through all the plot exposition — Trump’s goal being ‘to get this two-hour movie down to 45 minutes’ — he eliminated any lulls between the nose hammering, kidney tenderizing and shin whacking. When a beefy bad guy who was about to squish a normal-sized good guy received a crippling blow to the scrotum, I laughed. ‘Admit it, you’re laughing!’ Trump shouted. ‘You want to write that Donald Trump was loving this ridiculous Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, but are you willing to put in there that you were loving it, too?’”

Normally, I agree with you, but this sounds an awful lot like "Try me, motherfucker."

Happy that Wolf has entered into an accord with Cuomo.

quote:

An evangelical pastor and founder of The New Deliverance Evangelistic Church in Virginia died of the coronavirus after he held a church service in defiance of safety protocols in late March, the church announced Sunday.

Bishop Gerald O. Glenn told his congregation he would hold service “unless I’m in jail or the hospital,” the New York Post reported. His last in-person service was held on March 22, in defiance of official warnings to practice social distancing as schools were closing, the New York Daily News reported.

“I firmly believe that God is larger than this dreaded virus. You can quote me on that,” the Bishop said, according to the New York Post. “I am essential. I’m a preacher, I talk to God!”

How is this different than anyone going on Youtube and just watching the fight scenes?

Articles like this aren't as clever as they think, they don't make Trump look like some drooling simpleton, they humanize him as a normal person. It reinforces the idea that the reason he is disliked by the Democrats isn't that they don't agree with, it's that they find him too vulgar and low class.
