In terms of self-righteous moralizing, refusing to wish death on someone no matter how evil they are is fine, I guess.  But it‘s really the least a sanctimonious prick could do.  Those of us who are really holier than thou wish Hitler was still alive and doing better than ever!

Hope that karma works out for you.

I'd just like to point out that neither myself nor any of my fellow nurses, fellow advanced nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers ever swore an oath that we would lay down our lives for

Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

Wishing death on people seems like a bad karmic move at this point, but I know that some of you guys are really in to it.  Hope that works out well for you. 

I hear you, man, and I do my damnedest to push those kind of thoughts out of my head but here's the thing. You think that after all those years of being a really fucking shitty person, karma would've rewarded Trump with becoming the most powerful man on the planet?

Unless karma has something really special, and I mean some cruel, demented, twisted and evil shit waiting for him (in this life where we can all see to point and laugh) after all this, I'll refrain from actually believing in it.

Besides, in my 48 years of life, I've seen too many good people always try to do the right thing and end up getting screwed in the end. It might just be that god or the universe doesn't give a shit, and the only "justice" that's out there is created by man. Unfortunately, that's probably why we've got lawyers.

I guess what I'm saying is let the guy have his fantasy so long as he doesn't act on it.

Anyone get an ID on the reporter who got Orange man fired up over the Kush quote?  

If you mean the young lady who asked the NASTY question, it was Weijja Jiang, a reporter for CBS News. Jim Acosta was the bloke who got shut down for asking about a variety of things including asking the whereabouts of Dr. Fauci.

Here is her update:

I have a real problem with the text changes. It is very grim when a regime does this regardless of party. The government exists to serve the people and this reflects a government that thinks not only otherwise but that the government is never wrong. Nothing new for the past three years, but this trend is going to take some serious correcting. I fear it will continue regardless of which party is in charge if this habit becomes institutionalized. It takes a Walter Shaub airtight code of ethics to keep people from looking the other way.

Quote

A coronavirus is devastating the United States, sweeping from the coasts inward, as it challenges our health workers, our government leaders, and our families.

But the virus didn’t break America.

The virus arrived at our shores to find an America already broken.

The cure for our broken nation is the same curative needed to face this evil virus: The truth.

 

Quote

The lies that the administration told us will cost lives, maybe only thousands, probably tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands. And like the virus, we’ve seen seen the scourge of lies coming.

As a nation, we’ve accepted the lies and we’ve punished the truth.

The NY Times Nick Kristof has been tracking a trend in health care. While you’re on your balcony cheering for them, or howling their praises into the night, some health workers are being fired for telling the truth about a lack of personal protective equipment. In other words, they’re being fired for trying to save the lives of their fellow soldiers on the front line:

 

Quote

It’s baffling that the richest country in the history of the world fails so abysmally at protecting its health workers, especially when it had two months’ lead time. And for hospitals now to retaliate against health workers who try to protect themselves — ousting them just when they are most needed — is both unconscionable and idiotic.

 

 

Quote

Unconscionable? Yes. Idiotic? For sure. Surprising? Sadly, no.

Penalizing honesty and rewarding lies is the new American way.

According to Reuters, Captain Brett Crozier, whose letter likely saved hundreds, if not thousands, of sailors aboard his aircraft carrier is being relieved of duty.

 

Quote

So a Navy SEAL who was convicted of war crimes gets commended by the commander in chief, while a guy who saved lives aboard his ship is getting the boot. Pose next to a dead body, get celebrated. Keep bodies from getting dead, walk the plank.

We celebrate the villains and villainize those who tell it like it is.

Welcome to 2020 America:

If you lie a little, you get to keep your job. If you lie a lot, you get to be in charge. If you lie nonstop, you get to be president.

 

Quote

In the past month, we’ve seen acts of heroism, both large and small, most of which will go unnoticed. We should keep cheering those acts. We should be inspired by our friends and neighbors as they rise up and lock virtual arms to fight this beast.

But if America is to truly heal, we need to root out the virus that is rotting at the nation’s core. The brutal, demoralizing, and ultimately deadly, lies.

You don't think the world would be a better place if Trump dropped dead?

Agree with all of this. Too many shitty people thrive while many good people suffer, if Karma is really a thing it must be severely backlogged.

I've always liked CBS. They've had few slip up's and publicly admitted them when they did. Accountability, accuracy, truth. Rather is a prime example. He tried to massage the story and was canned.

I think quite honestly that the world would be a better place if maybe 20-30% of the population dropped dead. Seems like mother nature running point on that.  I wish that she could focus her efforts in some ways. Maybe twitter and facebook, but push comes to shove a differential that favors politicians would be more than acceptable.

Whoa whoa whoa!  I just said I wished the president were dead and you're advocating for over a billion?  What about karma?

This x100. This is straight up authoritarian behavior and should be a huge deal.

Governor MeeMaw used the big gun in her attempt to try and get the idiots to stay home.


Gov. Kay Ivey says that the state must take this "deadly seriously."

"If you're eager for a fall football season coming up, what we're doing today gives us a better chance of being able to do that as well," she says.

It’s extreme, but I think about 30% of our population is a cancer that will absolutely destroy our country if given the chance to metastasize.
 

The question is do you think it’s treatable with chemo or do you have to cut it out?

I’ve been involved in elections and mail in ballots are all about the fraud. In south Texas it runs $25 to $50 a vote. 100 votes can easily sway a small county election for county commissioner or county judge, big bucks are on the line
 

that fraud is 100% focused on local races. No one on the city / county / regional level gives a flying fuck who’s president but they give a damn who’s handing out all those $$$ for local projects. 
 

also, illegals don’t vote. Period

To extend the chemo metaphor, we really need targeted treatment.  Like a next gen sequencing technique that selectively targets certain biomarkers for rank stupidity.

Shit, that's nothing. Climate change, Obamacare, there is a long list of stuff that has been changed on the websites. 

Yes, this wasn't new. CDC, the Archives, the trend is subtle and menacing. Seems innocuous, but actually it is not. Elder Bush wanted to send in people to grab patron's lists of books they had checked out and the librarians said, "Hell, no. What people read is none of your beeswax."

This is in a similar vein. 'What you've read or think you know, does not exist.; we never said that,' takes the accountability provided by balanced branches and tosses it aside. Pretty pathetic that  those men and women could vote for that back in February and not bat an eye.

What really goes through your head when you read about evangelical pastors that continue to ask their congregation to gather and pass the hat?

“No Roll Tide if you don’t stay inside!”

I’m sending this to the appropriate Alabama authorities stat.

Can’t y’all see Saban standing in front of a Ford truck, holding a glass bottle of Coke in one hand, a bag of Golden Flake potato chips in the other and grimly stating that?

If any of those 83 die, the blood is on the hands of the Galveston County Judge, the dishonorable Mark Henry:

This is the only Mark Henry I pay homage to:

I watched that man eat at least 6 steaks and lobsters at sugar's back in the day. 

Easily the largest human I've ever seen in person.
