Seth takes a closer look at the president trying to distract from his own poor job performance by calling for Barack Obama to be investigated for a made-up scandal he can’t even define.
Trump really outflanking Dems on poisoning yourself.

Objectively and factually true. All Trump does is project like IMAX, lie, obfuscate, deny, and lie some more. The more he’s outed as a failure, the more he lies and projects.
It’s who he has always been. And now he’s got 92,000+ dead Americans on his ledger. https://t.co/IuBOWvchAX— lawhawk (@lawhawk) May 19, 2020

The neighbors’ under construction house is getting its electricity hooked up as I type. Assuming they can get it inspected by the county, and get their driveway poured sometime soon, they’ll finally be able to move in. Which they should have done 2 months ago except that everything got shut down for a few weeks.
According to a Military Times survey conducted last fall, 50% of active-service military hold an unfavorable view of the president, compared to only 37% when he was elected. Officers especially disfavor him, with only a third indicating approval. https://t.co/Q3ABJ3dgSE

I received an E-mail from the Secular Coalition for America.
First-responders are on the frontlines fighting to keep us safe, while a large portion of the nation remains on stay-at-home orders, and other parts are slowly reopening (possibly too soon).
Meanwhile, our scientists are tirelessly researching the vaccines and treatments that will improve the situation and enable us to return to the normalcy that we are all longing for.
However, the religious right has once again reared its medieval head and has lobbied to limit the research that could potentially end this crisis.
How? Why? You guessed it—they’ve decided to use this pandemic to once again attack abortion.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, religious right groups, and various anti-abortion advocates recently sent a letter to the FDA asking them to “incentivize pharmaceutical companies” to not use embryonic stem cells in developing a vaccine, calling the practice “unethical.”
The Secular Coalition for America, along with our member organizations—American Atheists, American Humanist Association, Center for Inquiry, and The Freedom From Religion Foundation—have countered with a letter of our own, requesting that the FDA not “allow unscientific religious ideology to interfere with open scientific inquiry.”
Researchers spend years, often decades, developing the tools and techniques that save and dramatically improve lives. Their hard-earned expertise is critical to ending this pandemic and we will not let the personal beliefs of a vocal minority water it down.
This is not the first attempt by the religious right to take advantage of COVID-19, nor will it be their last.
We will continue to fight alongside our members to ensure the government’s response to this crisis is driven by science and does not use our tax-dollars to fund religious activities.

Gee, what a shocker!
Actually, no: even though a lifelong civilian, I’ve always felt that, for all the “warrior” pump-up, and tough-talking aggressiveness they put out for public consumption, the main things the U. S. career military expect from the Executive leadership are respect and professionalism (well, that, and supporting military budgets). And for the first two, anyway, Trump just so obviously fails..
And even for the last point: despite all his gibberish about “Obama hollowed out the military”, career service people have to know that that’s bullshit.
From the Nebraska Democratic Party:
On his public Facebook page, Fremont School Board Member Michael Petersen congratulated the Class of 2020 and said, “You deserved better than the graduation remarks from Senator Ben Sasse. The racism, implying that our graduates are fat and lazy, disparaging teachers, and attacking the mental health profession are despicable.” He told Sasse in the post, “You owe the graduating students of Fremont High an apology.”

My Costco totally has its act together, but a lot depends on how many people decide to show up at any given time. So, yes, I could be pleasantly surprised, but I have a low tolerance for uncertainty, so for me in my day to day life, the second worst part of this whole thing so far is whether there will be a long line and whether they’ll have what I want.

Saw the ads for this, including the “This is my deathbed confession” clip. I have to admit, I was holding my breath on what that meant. In retrospect, if McCorvey’s confession reinforced her 90s “switch”, it makes sense that conservatives would be be hyping this non-stop.

Thanks to you and everyone else, glad to know my instincts were right for a change and i’ll stick to the B&W.
As for the contents, up until now i’ve been posting them with accompanying text that wasn’t as part of the graphic, specifying the Trump administration’s negligence and incompetence (and occasionally referencing specific people like Mitch McConnell). I did it like this simply because I wasn’t sure about how much text to include in the graphic without ruining it, and figured less would work better than too much.
Would adding “Because of the Trump administration’s negligence” before the red text be enough?

With my personal knowledge of IRL and on FB real people who support Trump, I am not surprised at all. They have all drunk the Kool-Aid and see only what they want to see. They are fed lies on a daily basis and refuse to acknowledge anything that contradicts their worldview. I don’t know what would penetrate their minds — they are people who if they heard the Penguin’s remarks in Batman Returns would still support him, instead of turning on him as in the film.

James Fell ( fitness and nutrition smart ass, who I generally love) was all in the fat shaming part of this, which I think is bullshit. Trump is a fucking bully. Bullies don’t respond to decent behavior from others. Except to shit on it.
I’m an abuse survivor. You know what stopped it? A fucking baseball bat so I could get the fuck out of there alive. And then a team of dudes guarding me while I got my stuff out of there the next day. I didn’t kill him, but I damned sure didn’t feel bad for hurting him, and I backed down only when he did.
Fat shaming sucks, but I am tired of the lectures from people who never dealt with this level of bully. You can’t play by the rules with them because they will turn around and do it again. And again. The ONLY way to stop them is to hurt them. The sooner people get that, the sooner we can send bullies back under their rocks. And yes, I know we’re not talking about an actual physical fight, but the same shit applies. Fight back, directly, and be smart, hit them where it hurts. Nothing else will work. My body still bears scars from over 30 years ago as proof. And no man ever laid a hand on me in anger after that. Fuck being nice to anyone who could give a shit if my family and I die or not. Fuck right wing assholes, and fuck being considerate of their fucking feelings.
I am a little surprised that trump was fought back about the comment or did I miss something?
Nancy Smash is not talking about Trump’s obesity to try to devalue him as a person (i.e., fat shaming). She’s simply saying that taking a certain drug while obese is probably not a good idea. The same way someone might suggest to me that, as a woman in my 50s, it’s probably not a good idea for me to take birth control. A statement that I wouldn’t consider ageist. A person saying it’s okay that I die because of my age. Well, that’s ageist.

Thanks to you and everyone else, glad to know my instincts were right for a change and i’ll stick to the B&W.
As for the contents, up until now i’ve been posting them with accompanying text that wasn’t as part of the graphic, specifying the Trump administration’s negligence and incompetence (and occasionally referencing specific people like Mitch McConnell). I did it like this simply because I wasn’t sure about how much text to include in the graphic without ruining it, and figured less would work better than too much.
Would adding “Because of the Trump administration’s negligence” before the red text be enough?
Or “Trump’s genocide count”

Many of my anti-Trump friends and family are fearful that Trump will be re-elected; that somehow all his negligence, cruelty, racism, treason will be overlooked and too many of our fellow Americans who aren’t Trumpsters but are not wired into the system will decide that he’s the preferable choice. My sister, who hates Trump as much as anyone here and is voting Biden, said that she saw a clip of Biden from ABC and that he looked frail and seemed to have dementia. Our brother has repeatedly tried the Biden senility argument with us, and my standard response is that I don’t care at all. But I am concerned that there will be those out there making a decision based on these arguments.

The largest “religious” group to vote for Hillary Clinton was atheists/agnostics/nothing in particular (68%, and that represented a loss of two points from the McCain election). The second-largest was Hispanic Catholics, followed by African-American evangelicals. Every other Christian group broke for Trump.
The Council on Foreign Relations indicates based on Pew Research polling ahead of the next election, larger percentages of Christians will vote for Trump.
The most reliable voting block in the Democratic Party is “nones” (we know which party wants to outlaw us).

Try to stay with one font. Vary the size and the color. I would experiment with sans-serif fonts—they are generally easier to read. The shadow on the second line is a little too much.
Also, see if you can change the contrast of the background photo. A lighter contrast may work better. You need the background for emphasis, but the text is the primary message you are conveying.

Perhaps I should have gone with “It’s beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas” instead. The whole supposed purpose of this email being declassified was that it would implicate Obama in a “conspiracy” to get Trump through going after Flynn. Instead, it shows that Obama insisted the DOJ and intel community approach the case “by the book,” which is stunningly refreshing in light of the current effort by Trump’s cronies to make a case for unspecified “crimes” against Obama.

Basically to believe “Obamagate” at this point, you have to believe that the WH was so deep into a “conspiracy” against Trump that they not only allowed him to win, they then wrote up a whole bunch of documents that they knew Trump would one day declassify that showed they were running things “by the books.” And that the real evidence would be totally in the coincidental timing of those documents and some ridiculous texts showing federal employees having an affair.

Told that the FDA warned against using hydroxychloroquine for the coronavirus outside of a hospital or clinical trial, Trump said, “No, that’s not what I was told. No.”

Trump on a study on hydroxychloroquine he doesn’t identify: “There was a false study done.” He said the drug was given to people who were “old” and “ready to die” and that the people who gave them the drug were “obviously not friends of the administration.”

Chester County, PA COVID-19 stats for yesterday:
Confirmed cases: 2242 (+43)

Deaths: 224 (+4)
Doubling rate is 22-23 days now.
Nothing standing out in terms of distribution and how new cases are cropping up. Death rate ratios are all over if you look at them by township; 1 in 55 one place, but 17 of 55 in another for instance. Overall it’s killing 10% of the infected based on these stats.

Has McSally ever actually won an election in Arizona?
Nope not statewide.
Martha’s run for Congress three times: 2012 (lost to the D by 2400 votes), 2014 (won the seat by a whopping 167 votes on recount), and 2016 (won handily). Then, of course, her loss to Sinema in 2018: and the Senate seat as consolation prize.
From what I’ve read, it seems like McSally just isn’t all that popular in AZ: her “success”, AFAICT, is that she is a good Machine Republican, relatively young/attractive (with a military record), and is somewhat less of an utter deranged wingnut like other AZ GOP favorites like Kelli Ward and Joe Arpaio.
So no wonder that Mark Kelly’s polling is (excuse the expression) in orbit….

I think it’s also a way for her to let people who are still listening know that taking this drug is especially risky for people in that group. It is! And since Trump is trying to set some kind of twisted weird “example” here, it’s actually a responsible act to point this out.

In yet another assault on checks and balances, President Trump abruptly removed the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) independent watchdog late Friday - the same night he announced plans to fire the State Department Inspector General (IG). At DOT, the acting IG was overseeing a high profile investigation of Secretary Chao’s alleged favoritism benefiting her husband Senator Mitch McConnell’s political prospects, but has now been replaced with a political appointee from within the agency. The acting IG’s ouster calls into question the future of the Chao-McConnell investigation, other critical oversight, and whether the watchdog was dismissed for unearthing damaging information.

An antibody first identified in a blood sample from a patient who recovered from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in 2003 inhibits related coronaviruses, including the cause of COVID-19. The antibody, called S309, is now on a fast-track development and testing path at Vir Biotechnology in the next step toward possible clinical trials.
Fellow Illinoisan,COVID-19 is taking its toll on our nation and on our people. More than 83,000 Americans have passed away, 1.4 million have been infected, and 36.5 million are unemployed. This pandemic is impacting every aspect of American life.
But somehow, Senator Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans say they have “yet to feel the urgency of acting immediately” to address this unprecedented public health and economic crisis. I could not disagree more — Congress must continue in our efforts to rebuild the economy and help the American people get back on their feet. …

I broadly like where you are going with this.
Here is what I would do. Only use two colors. For the greatest impact make only the word “9x,xxx Dead” in the red-orange font, put those in the center of the image on their own line. Make that line a larger point size.
I would also only use two font sizes. I’d also avoid filling the image with too many words. You want “Trump-Covid” - “X-Dead” - “Would fill this stadium” as essentially the only take-aways.

It was a district court decision. If it is appealed, first it will go to the Fifth Circuit. Then to the Supreme Court, if necessary.
Without reading the entire decision, it’s hard to say how viable an appeal would be.

re: #338 Yeah Sure WhatEVs
I thought this was about the November ejection which is federal.
It’s about Travis County allowing voters to apply for absentee ballots due to the epidemic. Ken Paxton argues this violates Texas law, specifically about disability.
The case was ruled by a Texas district judge, not a federal judge.
The section over which the argument resides is this:
In their advisory, state officials said, “the Election Code defines ‘disability’ to include ‘a sickness or physical condition that prevents the voter from appearing at the polling place on election day without a likelihood of needing personal assistance or of injuring the voter’s health.’ (Sec. 82.002).”
Democrats and civil libertarians argue that the danger of catching the coronavirus counts as disability under Texas’s voting statutes. Paxton argues that is not the case.

Also, I wonder if Moscow Mitch and his posse have really thought through the possible blowback from “inviting” Obama-Administration officials up before the Senate, and have them keep bringing up sound-bites like “Trump Campaign” and “Russian interference” in every other sentence.

And of course there will be the contrast—hopefully—of Obama Dems actually showing up for hearings in contrast to Trump’s lackeys who obeyed his orders to ignore subpoenas.

Up to a million dollar fine if they catch you leaving your house. Two emails reminding my I couldn’t go out (and the fine if I do) and a phone call from the government also reminding me.

My UI payment from Nevada goes to a BOA prepaid debit card. Nevada recommends that you transfer that money into your checking account to avoid any of BOA’s fees. Failing that, use the cash back option with every purchase as you don’t have to pay a fee on that either. Advice I don’t think BOA really appreciates.
