Winning! Oh the irony.

Little did we know the wall would be used to keep us in and away from others, rather than others out!

Fucking brutal article from the Atlantic.....The last line, from a former Administration official: " Here we stand, on a mountain of dead"......

Ha! The pilot is in the shitter, tweeting, and forgot to engage the auto.
Check that; he consciously smashed the auto-pilot panel and the steering yoke, and then headed to the shitter.
Not that it would have helped.

This article should become an historical reference - never again.

At least 105 students living in several University of Washington frat houses have reported testing positive for COVID-19, an ominous sign ahead of campuses reopening to students this fall.

So it’s now confirmed that butt chugging is a transmission modality

“.. we find a positive correlation between levels of [credit-card] activity three weeks ago and the spread of COVID-19 since then.” Of all indicators, “the highest correlation .. is the level of “card-present” (essentially in-person) restaurant spending ..”

As long as they lower the lid when they flush they’ll be fine

(or are we having a serious conversation about butt chugging corona virus....? )

Interesting but note that only 37% of the change in Covid cases is explained by change in cc spending. Not the greatest correlation

Masks optional, no social distancing on agenda for Trump fireworks event at Mount Rushmore

Concerns raised about coronavirus transmission and wildfire risk; ‘We told those folks that have concerns that they can stay home,’ says Trump-aligned Republican governor of South Dakota

Navarro, an actual top White House official, continues to push the idea that China intentionally infected the US. Which isn't a new thing from him, except that he'd backpedaled some of the previous statements.

Of course,
(1) Zero evidence,
(2) The idea makes little sense (Covid spread first within China, where it easily could have spread out of control), and
(3) "Somebody did it to us on purpose" still isn't a good excuse for an incompetent response; the US has this thing where we pay taxes so that government entities, supposedly, will anticipate and respond effectively to foreign threats.

So, basically, the idiots are getting desperate.

I predict that this will be a media story around Thanksgiving, if some schools are both foolish and greedy enough to mass together 20-40 thousand young people on campus for a few months.

Some college football programs already throwing in the towel . I forget who, but, expect a lot of that. And, why do a lot of kids go to college? To support the team! Seriously. I'll never forget trying to close my mouth when a then nephew in law said that was priority one of college choice. It's a culture.

Navarro made his bones on being a little asshole.

So we were sitting around having a few pops and came up with that ^^ idea but not as far as I know

another way to do it might be the assumption of guilt so CBSA takes a 1200$ deposit on yer visa and you got 40 hrs to do the 32 hr trip if you want yer money back

but now anybody Canadian OR American with an american plate is getting harassed even if they have a legitimate reason to be up here

[bennymac]

$1200 deposit plus a GPS tracker. You can turn your tracking device in at the border for your $1200 back.
