No fire evacuation, I hope? (Says the guy who had to vacate on Thursday from the CZU Lightning Complex.)

I had to get a covid test for work. I’m sure I am negative, but is it wrong of me to fantasize about testing positive and driving down to Charlotte for the week?

Right, because modern science and medicine is SO elitist, as in, by being so scientific and advanced and stuff, it mocks stupid people like her who can’t keep up. Well too fucking bad, pig face!

We are doing the things that are allowing people to live their lives, have a convention and do it in a healthy and safe way, which most Americans are doing going back to work because they’re going to the grocery store, as they’re going to hospitals,” McDaniel said. “This is a realistic way of opening up our country and doing it in a healthy and safe way.”

Biden probably shouldn’t have been so direct on that. He set himself up for this and they’re not going to let go and that’s not terrific. Coverage of the virus has slowed down and your basic voters are getting lulled into thinking things are better because of the quiet and they don’t look at the idea of a shutdown the way alert people do. They fear the idea of a shutdown and we all know about shooting the messenger.

Biden’s going to have to walk this back a bit. He will, and your basic voters will forget, they don’t ever remember much, but right now the Republicans are scoring a few points.

Is this snark or for real?

It’s for real. People prefer denial to reality. And there’s a whole country out there just dying to get their kids back to school.

Biden should have made his statement in reverse. He should have put science first and then said the word shutdown. He did the opposite. He led with the wrong card.

I have to strongly, strongly disagree. Dems have played that game and have always lost. Pandering is not their friend. Save that for Repubs, who lie by nature. Dems have to be honest and direct and people will respect them for it. Also, you DO NOT downplay something like this.

Something weird about not only each column adding up to 100, but also the top row. A weird coincidence or basic math? It’s Sunday and my coffee hasn’t fully kicked in yet.

I’ll believe that when I see it.

We need every vote, and I think you’re underestimating the amount of denial that’s out there.

The RNC et all are really not good at this. Is trump really speaking each night? OMG! LOL! They are vastly outnumbered by famous people & influencers in the opposition who are going to rip them apart. They really can put a lot of effort into being their own worst enemy.

Mitch is taping his robotic, self serving, gas lighting, us vs. them, Orwellian speak speech and he’s going to look like some mean old fucker with the most punchable face on the planet, piss on his grave, asshole of a humanoid. As he always does.

“a really elite view of America right now” before going on to say that everybody coming to Charlotte for the RNC has been tested for the coronavirus.

Ah…an elitist who thinks everyone else is getting tested on command, at taxpayer’s expense. What a dumb…‘C’ word.

I think that he should stick to it.

Though virus coverage is going down, the death count is getting higher and it’s still averaging 1k, as it relates to the daily count.

What should be mentioned is that Cuomo ‘alpha maled’ Trump, when the latter wanted to quarantine the NY tri state area.

Also, Birx is for it and if Trump gets over in '21, he’ll definitely go for a new shutdown.

Considering that we’ll be looking at over 200k deaths, before election day.
