Remember thirty years ago in January when Trump became one of the few ever presidents to be impeached and nothing came of it because lol Republicans? Man that was so long ago the details are hard to remember.

Among many, many other things our current administration big-brained leadership is getting wrong is that "OPEN 'ER UP THAT'LL FIX IT ALL ZOOM BANG RIGHT TO THE MOON" is not the loving answer because it is not looking at the problem. A HUGE portion of the country is looking at wicked long term symptoms or outright death and saying, "Ya know, maybe going to the theater to catch the latest blockbuster isn't that important."

This problem is running Wile E. Coyote face first style into the half century plus of 100%, absolute supply side *everything* at all levels of government, media, social conditioning and on and on. Demand side anything has not been allowed to step outside of the realm of stuff like obscure economics degree papers that are labeled as kooks and fringe whackos in that half century plus.

Now, whoops, demand side everything had what can be charitably called an accidental general strike and is still massively slowed down in the "recovery". Turns out an economy that is like 60% (totally rear end-pulled number) a service economy actually has a demand side component, only there's almost no methods in the halls of power to address that problem seriously. The $600 unemployment was a complete panic reaction solution using the thread-bare apparatus laying around that mostly kinda worked for it, but now we see McConnel('s donors) digging in their heels and looking to sever that lifeline.

Cool Zone here we come.

Meanwhile big capital is getting richer. Small businesses are going to get replaced by chains at a huge rate when things open down the road.

Last two or three days NASDAQ has closed at record-ever high values.

Jfc I was consoling myself somewhat under the impression that:

a) people lived to post these videos on the internet
b) the phones which streamed the moment of impact clearly survived and continued functioning for some time after the blast, long enough to upload their buffer at least

One of those videos appears to have been taken from (more or less) nextdoor.

:gonk: indeed

People are squishy with hollow bits and lots of watery stuff. Phones are not. Blast over-pressure does very bad things to one of those categories.

Hell World 2020 nothing matters and all, but I would enjoy DNA on a dress becoming part of the historical memory related to Trump.

Again though, the Anger Mango is so god drat stupid he said the quiet part out loud. There is no plausible deniability here. He said he wants to ruin vote by mail. In his own words.

What kind of hosed up, abusive relationship does right wing everything have with social media? Every single major company is breaking their (rules) back tying themselves in knots to give Republicans every possible advantage on their platforms and no matter how far social media stacks the deck in their favor it's always "liberal social media is the enemy, they need to be destroyed!"

The forecasted double-dicking of the deep south is just about finalized - if you're in these areas, get your poo poo ready.

The current forecast appears to be Hurricane #1 on Monday and Hurricane #2 on Wednesday. Happy 2020!

We're gonna need a bigger Sharpie.

Eh give it a few years and he'll have his "redeemed sinner" storyline ready to go to get back on the religious grifting gravy train. Evangelicals eat that poo poo with a spoon.
