…damn it…I know there’s a lot going on but sometimes it’s the little things that bring you up short
…I mean…maybe it’s just me but I would have thought he’d learned a few lessons about putting his name on checks
…or to put it another way

…because this asshole surely doesn’t

…not in the real world sense where the stuff can run out before the bills are paid & “bridging liquidity” means being able to keep your car on the road so you can make it to work so you can keep up the health insurance payments so when you get sick from skipping meals to cover the rent so you have a roof over your head when you do it all over again next month…except you ain’t doing that no more because you’re not only not essential but you’re essentially screwed because that shit’s still due & they just laid you off to try & keep the business afloat until it can afford to employ anyone again
…in fact, if you’re not big business with deep pockets as far as these clowns are concerned you can basically hold your breath while they fight their way out of the wet paper bag they’ve accidentally trapped themselves in
…because that’s how you help the little guy, right?
…it’s not like everyone isn’t equally screwed
…I mean…sure…we want airlines to still be a thing…but I can think of a few million folks who probably aren’t thinking about their next vacation flight right now
…& you know what…some of the businesses going to the wall are…let’s not beat about the bush…ones that would otherwise have been on firmer footing than any enterprise bearing the DJT kitemark of shame
…in fact…if he stopped sounding priapic about the fucking ratings for those shitshows he calls a press briefing & got to grips with some real fucking numbers maybe he’d…ah, who am I kidding?
…he’d just pout like a bitch & then spout some garbage about how if all those people were more like him they’d be okay because something would come along…like a job you’re utterly unqualified for that some idiot might just give you anyway
…but at least there are guidelines, right?
…that’ll do it, I’m sure…just like saying it was all up him turned out to be totally true & not some bizzaro overreach that completely misinterpreted the powers of the presidency…again

…sorry…what was that…the governors actually might be the ones calling the shots on a bunch of that stuff…who’d have thought?
I’m sure he must be doing all he can to help them out…
…serious question…is there some off-brand joint where you can rent out out of shape dudes in “tactical” kit compensatorily endowed with a firearm attachment to bulk up the numbers at your idiot parade?
…because if the right to keep & bear arms has been sacrosanct all these long years while all those thousands of people have been shot to death just so these idiots can rise up & overthrow the governor who has the temerity to tell them they need to go the fuck home for their own health, not to mention that of their families & literally everyone else…then I guess Darwin was wrong about the survival of the fittest
…not that that’s exactly news
…oh…sorry…you thought I was done being mad about that & I’d moved on to being all pissed about the other thing?
Some news about those so-called “protesters”
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/17/far-right-coronavirus-protests-restrictions
Gee, really? I just thought it was a bunch of angry white idiots not just a bunch of angry white puppets for even slimy corrupt assholes.
BTW wingnuts, CoVID-19 kills everyone regardless of race, creed or politics. It like the AR-15s you so desperately cling to, are equal opportunity killers.
If only that were true.

Reddit users in Kentucky have identified the business owners leading the tiny protest in Frankfort, only dozens of people turned out. Normally I’m against doxing but if you’re trying to kill me anything goes. The main ringleader is a Matt Bevin lackey/supporter. She’s removed her company FB page because of the negative response. But people are trashing all the businesses on Yelp.Back off our beloved Andy and Virginia!
That’s funny, because I was just thinking about Harry Truman’s desk sign. If Biden had any sense he’d slap Trump with that slogan every single day, but we all know he’s too busy trying to be nice because that’s supposed to attract Republicans to vote for him. Gee, where have I seen this strategy before?
Just like the governors forcing Trump’s hand with the reopening guidelines, Trump’s own group of billionaires who are on his reopening council have told him nothing will happen if we don’t have widespread testing. So, suddenly, Trump has announced a whole lot of test kits are on the way. Did you know that testing has actually DECLINED over the past two weeks? So, yeah, this shitbag isn’t leading anyone. He’s being forced to do things by actual leaders.
