In case no one else has gotten to it yet this morning, allow me:
STOP FUCKING WITH THE TIME, YOU ASSHOLES.
Just, goddamn, can we end this ridiculous time change bullshit?
Thank you. Carry on.
If you're infected, the critical thing is to make Donald Trump look good.
That's the important part, America. Don't make Trump look bad.
Also, I really love the part where his big "perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan" was ... sent by God? Apparently.
How's that work? Did God email the plan to the White House? Hand delivered by Franklin Graham?
Doooonald, it's me God, clooose the border!
Anyway, remember: True patriots love Trump. Only commies die from the virus.
Has anybody tried raking the coronavirus.
Because that's how democracy works.
Human beings are not machines and this may be beyond your simplistic childish grasp but reality isn't some fucking comic book where everything is either black or white.
There are no unicorns. It's time to grow up and stop being a child.
There's a scene in Outlander, Season 2, where they're in France and the king is constipated with a massive cheese log and the whole French court is standing around him sitting on the crapper rooting for a bowel movement. Come on, Louie, Push! Push! And Louie's face is all red with the effort...
Okay, I have to go check on a friend and run some errands.
Here's some dogs to keep you company until I get back.
People: We're concerned about this pandemic
Stage 3 Lung Cancer Rush Limbaugh: It's just a cold. <takes a drag off his cigarette. Coughs. Wipes blood from his lips>. The flu, basically.
Fox: 11 people died but they were all old so it's all good.
Trump: Make the stock market great again!
CDC: A vaccine could take years.
Trump: We have a vaccine!
CDC: Stop buying masks.
Trump: We're buying all the masks.
Trump: Thank you Trump!
Republicans: WHY ARE DEMOCRATS POLITICIZING THIS CRISIS?
I'm probably going to be offline most of the day.
Adjust your expectations accordingly.
It's Tuesday, the day I take off and spend with my wife.
As such, please enjoy these dogs until I get back.
Whereby I do the thing I don't like doing but have to do anyway because I have people depending on me.
Trump says the government is stocking up on masks and gowns.
You want the definition of irony, ask yourself where those things are made.

Sooner or later, we’re going to pay the price for electing fools to run our country.
Couple more prayers and they'll have this thing licked.
Just like gun violence.
