Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans in disarray!

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

In my day, never was longer.

Not all heroes wear capes.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

    Le sigh.

    No, the popular Mexican beer Corona is not affiliated with the deadly coronavirus that’s spreading around the world, and Constellation Brands (NYSE:STZ), which owns the Corona brand in the U.S., told Business Insider “We believe, by and large, that consumers understand there’s no linkage between the virus and our business.”

    But Google search terms would beg to disagree. Since the virus began to take on global proportions in the middle of January, online searches for the phrase ” beer coronavirus” surged over 3,200% globally while “corona beer virus” rocketed 2,300%. Similar terms that seemingly link the beer brand and the virus have also risen by hundreds of percent since. Source

    No statistics yet found of impact on sales of Corona Corona premium cigars.

    Obivious joke I also made day one I heard of this virus.

    Guess China’s attempt to contain the tide has had, to date, moderate success but unless it holds into spring, and (maybe) so this burns out, likely we’ll have a new flu strain. On the positive side (if thats possible), when the do develop a vaccine, I’d bet money that this vaccine will dwarf all others in the number of people who will demannd to get it.

    Little one year old grand imp was here yesterday and my cute little grandson has disappeared.   No longer is the sweet child willing to sit and read books.  Rather it’s time to have me chase him in circles.

    @JPL: Once again a rich fuck will claim credit for the success resulting from the hard work of others. Another day ending in “Y”.

    @JPL: They grow up fast. Next thing you know, he’ll be a teenager who only wants to hang with his friends. My oldest is on the cusp and I wonder how much time we will have with her going forward.

    @Cermet: I think they will eventually be able to develop a vaccine for it and the fact that they can build on what is known about SARS and MERS will help but they probably won’t be ready for clinical trials for months yet. For comparison it took 20 months for a SARS vaccine to be developed and released. There still is not a MERS vaccine that’s been released…

    The article attached to emotional diary is worth reading: a doctor who has closely observed the trajectory of the disease, and tried to identify the signs that a person might not be able to fight it off.

    Thanks for the sane daily update! I haven’t had a lot of time lately but this is the first  thing I look for and try to read links and comments. So appreciate this!

    Thank you for doing these daily diaries. I appreciate the work it takes.

    My hunch is that coronavirus is going to affect us all, at least in its economic impacts. I’m also worried about Trump using it as a tool if it gets out of control in the States, so political impacts as well

    Was slightly surprised that respirators are still available at normal prices. If we get some more cases in the US there is likely to be panic buying.

    @Cermet: Have you missed all the various times that these posts, including this very one, have stated that the coronavirus is NOT the flu? These posts don’t exist for you to scroll past their content and bloviate in the comments.

    I find it interesting that in his 2nd life, Bill Gates doesn’t resemble the monopolistic prick that he was, as a software mogul. He really turned it around. And I mean that sincerely.
