There is some interpretation going on. I interpret Joe's tweets referring to the decisions by Trump for limiting access when he deemed necessary as xenophobia, etc, were comments akin to virtue signalling that he would not have banned anyone at any time for a coronavirus type event. Since it "wouldn't stop it" why do it at all, amirite? Joe's tweet on jan 31st, at 4:40 PM , the sentence after the Muslim ban specifically, could easily be construed as referring to the China restrictions Trump put into place earlier that day along with declaring a national emergency just before Joe's tweet ~1 hour after the China travel restrictions. Chinese restrictions announced in meeting 3:30, ending about 15 minutes before Joe's text: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/press-briefing-members-presidents-coronavirus-task-force/

To the contrary, this shit won't stand up after the covid ass venting is under control: Scene from New York-Presbyterian Hospital this afternoon:

Trump just has to be better than Biden to win reelection. In this case he clearly was/would have been. His quickly enacted travel bans from China and then Europe(read Italy) no doubt reduced the impact from the virus during the month after that bans were put into effect vs no bans from those hot spots.(and the people who no doubt would have come to escape the horror show) Biden has been clear that he would not have limited travel from those places for virtue signaling reasons much like the 'hug a Chinese' Italy dumb fucks. No squinting required.

Better than this guy: Please note that Biden promised to “end the ban” — the ban that stops people from entering our country who are coming in from a country facing a massive epidemic. The next day, Biden — who has always been cozy with China, and whose son Hunter set up a deal worth hundreds of millions with the Chinese government while traveling with his father (who was then vice president) — issued the following statement declaring Trump’s ban “racist” and “xenophobic.” That same day, Biden published this tweet: Biden followed this statement up the next day with a speech in Iowa, where he again blasted Trump’s travel ban, this time as “hysterical xenophobia”: On February 15, Biden again attacked Trump’s immigration restrictions: The following month, on March 10, Biden was still lashing out at Trump’s travel restrictions as racist: On March 11, Trump announced a European travel ban. The very next day, Biden railed against the idea: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/03/20/nolte-mere-8-days-ago-joe-biden-still-attacking-trumps-travel-bans/ Biden in charge would have meant more travelers from coronavid hot spots.

there was always going to be a blow off in the markets given this yuge run up. now there is a plausible reason for it whether actually right or wrong. one comment though is that the stock buybacks from almost all of these companies really looks stupid. edit: unless there was some savant CEO who saved his powder to buy now.

The summer lull before the resumption of the killing fields of fall.

I live in oncor territory in dfw. I called in late afternoon today because I couldn't get the code to work. 8.8 cents flat rate, but is after you average in the basic monthly fee averages in. go here: https://chariotenergy.com/ click signup button in upper right corner put zip code in and ptc in the discount code. i get/got two options:(maybe it is different where you live?) chariot choice 3 and chariot choice 36 without that ptc code it was much higher.

I could have had a 6.2 cent plan but it would have been 3 months and expiring in mid summer. 8.8 seems pretty, pretty, good.

It's a jobs program:

just signed up for one of the houses on a 3 yr, 8.8 cent plan via power to choose .org: https://signup.chariotenergy.com/Home/EFl?productId=25814 is the EFL for the plan. if you go to chariot energy .com use the promo code: ptc to get the deal. BTW, it is a 100% solar plan.

Tell me about Texas' young LH pitching.

How was the converted stadium? Good sight lines, etc, etc, or shit?

@ryskey, Is this front month or short term or long term and/or what are your thoughts in general? Were people hedging the fuck out of that short run to $60 recently? If you thought the lows today in Oil and Gas were near the bottom or within a small percentage of the actual bottom, where would you invest?

Had a hellava colllege change-up, Bastard.

When it was just the two MLB'ers, earlier before this week, in the booth they could be repetitive at times but it overall was a professional broadcast covering the game and the little intricacies that only real pro baseball people would know and be able to provide. Lowell ruins it. For every one possibly insightful moment with Lowell in the booth, the other 99.9% from him is shit. It seems obvious to me that the other two guys are just tolerating him as well. Let the two MLB dudes do it. They are really good IMHO. Keep winning Texas. I liked having the extra players getting their chances today, even if they didn't get the clutch hits this time. The whole team needs to stay fresh with chances to bat, and a bit of rest for the ones playing more. With the pitching heavy roster it isn't too many to let a flow of PH'ing happen if when the match ups are there. Especially as they round out the team headed to conference play. The pitching from the pen has been better this weekend. That will continue to round out as we get to conference play as well.

boom. mother orb going off. https://volcano.si.edu/

I finally got the bag of cotton balls and decided olive oil was the right oil? It was olive oil for the cotton balls right?
