Forget tweets or posts, guy's already been literally in the crosshairs for a while. That's what you get in the U.S. of A these days when you put science, empirical facts, rational logic over shitty conspiracy theories, imaginary friends and blatant stupidity.

He'll testify before the Senate, not the House. You know, the camera of Congress which allowed Lindsey Graham to tell a hysterical Brett Kavanaugh, "You have nothing to apologize for, my friend..."

Oh. Right.

The actual details in Bright's complaint are very interesting!!

And....there may actually be a god.....Graham's embrace of Trump is beginning to cost him politically?

(Fuck, which thread am I in. Sorry.)

And so it begins!! https://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...ms-disgruntled

This had me laughing out loud. Kids in the US will not be killed by Corona, but by driving in a car!

Can that country get any stupider? I don't give a flying fuck if there's a backlog - does anybody need more cars in the street right now? LET THEM FUCKING WAIT. FUCK! :mad:

Lockdown protester doing his best to look like a total moron. Actually no idea what runs through the minds of these people.

Look at the brains on Bret here. You make it too easy, Robert, old boy.

Someone "improved" those pictures

This is what makes the United States the laughing stock of the world today. Do people still wanna go there? Sure - if the alternative is getting tortured and killed it is (as long as you're willing to leave your kids inside a cage).

As a kid I always wanted to visit America, but over the years my opinion changed after seeing countless videos and reports documenting the outlandish and downright scary stupidity. I'll never set foot there.

I vowed never to go there as long as Trump is POTUS, and I have kept that vow so far. (I went there about 30x in my life.)

America, you are lost. You are NOT "great again". The world no longer looks to America for leadership.

My state has changed the rules for now, meaning that you're allowed to have up to five guests at once (which means that my whole household of six can't visit relatives, but whatever...).

I've been going fine with lockdown, but I'm honestly really excited about the prospect of getting proper social connections this time.

I'm returning to school May 26th. Many of my friends are unhappy...

C'mon man, these people are in no way a majority. In fact, a lot of us agree with how dumb they are.

What could be a fun game is getting them to consider each other the dumber of the bunch

Not enough not to have a reality TV dotard as president, and not nearly enough to truly mobilize against a completely fucked system (second amendment and school shootings, electoral college, horrifying public healthcare, etc.).

A Post-Post-Modern Slump
by Paul Krugman
The New York Times, May 13, 2020

Johnson really is nothing without his bully boys behind him to laugh and jeer. Keir Starmer annihilated him today at the PMQs. Shame that we've another 4 years of Johnson's nonsense to put up with.

From The Washington Post:
As some countries ease up, others are reimposing lockdowns amid a resurgence of coronavirus infections

My country isn't mentioned, but that's exactly what's going on here: too much "ease up" too soon, shit spiked, and now, starting Friday evening, FULL quarantine in the whole Metropolitan region. That's gonna be fun...

Anyway, some important quotes from the Post's article:

World Health Organization doctor says coronavirus 'may never go away'
WHO emergencies expert Dr. Mike Ryan said that without the "massive moonshot" of an effective vaccine, coronavirus could become a permanent threat.

From pandemic to endemic. Cases appear, quarantines go in place, cases go down, lockdowns ease up, cases spike like a motherfucker, lather, rinse, repeat.

The Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz has recently received a lot of criticism for his appearance at a rally in the state of Vorarlberg which saw him mingling with the crowd, disregarding social distancing measures. The very same person is responsible for a fraught social climate brought on by his highly televised and publicized rhetoric, once stating "Soon everyone of us will know someone who has passed away from Covid-19.".


His admin also oversaw the conception of untransparently and misleading worded laws for the shelter in place period, leading to much confusion - illegitimate fines issued by overly eager police officers; people believing they cannot even visit their family or friends in their private homes (it never was illegal, the laws were worded in a way that could've easily been interpreted that way); coining the phrase of keeping a distance about the size of one baby elephant (wherever the fuck he got that from).


Whilst people have been shunning social contacts, trying to figure out how many baby elephants would fit into the gap between them and the next person, have been laid-off and deemed "inessential to the system" and have generally lived in an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, no doubt exacerbated by the baffling statements of this guy, he apparently seems to live in a parallel universe.

Oh, and he didn't even wear a facemask after previously salivating over the thought of the population wearing them pretty much everywhere, claiming that the new laws concerning the mandatory facemask in public means of transport and supermarkets should be seen as tutorial phase, so one could get accustomed to it. Then he expressed his wish that people put them on pretty much everywhere in the public. I want this song to follow him around whenever he confidently waltzes into another gaffe from now on.

this dude looks like hes 23 and has a permanent tan

He does. And elderly conservatives are absolutely enamoured with his "youthfulness", would you believe. He got elected for a second time after losing a vote of no confidence. Welcome to Asstria.

Membership is in the mail

Trump now saying he's been taking hydroxychloroquine for the past couple of weeks saying
This is even though

Let's add it to the long list of evidence that he's absolutely cuckoo

hydroxychloroquine has entered the GOP election race?

That is obviously true. However, no-one glorifies gun violence quite like America; there are gun shops in every town selling guns with names like the bone collector. 2nd amendment worshipers etc. It's just not worth my time anymore.

If Dotard told the truth about taking it (which is a big if), yes, it has literally entered the election.

Reminds me of South Park's 'member berries...

And the horseshit goes planetary. From AP:

Spain’s far-right holds car protest against virus lockdown
Several thousand followers of Spain’s far-right Vox party gathered Saturday in their cars and on motorbikes in the center of Madrid and other Spanish cities to protest the Spanish government’s handling of the nation’s coronavirus crisis.

The party accuses the government of Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of lying about the impact of the health crisis and for violating Spaniards’ rights by confining people to their homes and closing business during the lockdown.

 

 

 

Who'd I rather punch in the stomach-Dominic Cummings or Boris Johnson?


Honestly, the behaviour of this fucking conservative government during this pandemic is a fucking joke. String the lot of the up. Tbh, I'm just annoyed that it's recess for the government atm meaning Starmer can't read Johnson and new one at PMQ's on Wednesday.

So true. Both are a disgrace and still in their privileged positions. Insult to all that abide by their rules.

Let's punch Stephen Miller first and then all these other fucks. And Bobby Gillespie. :D

Civil Service Tweet Goes Viral

From CNN:


Shit, you guys got a lotta rats over there in NYC...

the news is they’ve moved to the suburbs

i still hate the suburbs

If Cummings does end up to be 'sacked' there's no doubt that he'll still be around lurching somewhere in the background. Absolute shitshow. I think this is all deliberate though imo, it would get some people to think 'screw this, if he can do this, so can I.' Herd immunity is still their goal.



No doubt that Steve Bannon had a few chats with Cummings during his 'tour' in Europe few years ago.
