Seth takes a closer look at Trump holding an old-fashioned campaign rally in North Carolina, as if the coronavirus pandemic that’s still raging out of control had just magically disappeared.
Honestly guys I have been in disbelief all day that the President of the United States not only knew and understood that a deadly virus was about to sweep the country but *actively encouraged* people not to take basic precautions that could prevent its spread. He needs to resign.

As Trump claims he lied about Covid to avoid “panic,” here’s a credible accusation that his former DHS Secretary, Kirstjen Nielsen, lied to Congress about made up terror suspects crossing the border to scare voters into supporting Trump’s wall. Think her career will suffer? https://t.co/UPs3ecGSaR

The ones in Rockwall were built so they shared the restrooms.
The one really annoying thing about these chains is that they end up taking down the locations that look like they do pretty well even though the chain as a whole is suffering. Bennigan’s and Black Eyed Pea were the same way. We would have to stand in line around here for them, but when the chain shut down, they did, too.

Still haven’t seen any major newpapers putting up the 200-pt “Resign!” headlines for this orange shitsack. To be fair, though, Trump’s misdeeds do pale in comparison to an illicit blowjob.

Not ONE paper has called for Trump’s resignation. Not ONE!

Not IMO, but there still seems to be a pervasive attitude in a lot of the country (as Anymouse will attest) that fast, reliable Internet connections are some sort of frippery, or luxury service, rather than a fundamental component of 21st-Century economy/society.
And, as fripperies, considered (by Republicans, anyway) unsuitable for subsidy by taxpayer dollars** for customers, at any rate, they’ll be sure to find some excuse to shovel the money at telecom mega-corporations
Rolling out broadband Internet service doesn’t mean crap to people who only see things like what I go through, including paying 1/8th of my income every month for DSL.
If corporate monopolies are involved in any roll-out plan, they will be no better than what we have now.
Extremely local news: My new modem arrived by UPS Next Day Air this evening, after taking only seven days. (That’s better than last time, when Next Day Air took two weeks.) I am up and running again.
I spent ninety minutes on the telephone this evening with CenturyLink trying to get a mailing address out of the company so I can return the old modem, since I can’t use UPS to return it.
re: #426 piratedan
and conversely they ask…. why is small town America dying and has the rest of the country has forgotten us…
Nothing says that they HAVE to use it, same goes true for … the waste disposal and treatments plants, electricity, roads… but you know… all you can do is try.
Because corporations are killing us. There is no reason I should have to pay so much money for DSL service. I guarantee if companies get to profit off any new broadband service, the cost will be even higher.
Why should anyone in areas like this sign up for such a plan? As far as Internet service is concerned, Biden might as well be speaking a foreign language around here. Most places here you can’t even use a credit card or cell phone, why would anyone care about Internet service?
It’s not just Trump, but the GOP traitors enabling him, aiding him, abetting him, working for Putin and against We the People.

Our tolerance sign hasn’t been molested. The wind has fucked with it a bit, but it’s solidly in ground. Pissing off our next door neighbors and our new neighbor. New neighbor was totally friendly and helpful. Took our broken chair to the dump for us when he had a load. We both knew he was a trumpster, and knew he would be a lost “friend” when the sign went up. Didn’t disappoint. Also, the next door neighbors haven’t talked to us since it went up. A shame, but they’ve been hardcore R’s for years. No surprise they are trumpsters. They are sort of closeted trumpster though, because unlike their worship of dubya, they haven’t put up any signs or put any stickers on their cars for the orange. But they are most definitely for the orange.

I’ve said it before, if he showed the data to the Dems, shared it with them and stated that they needed to put things in motion, chances are they would have gone along, provided input, suggested following CDC guidelines, increase PPE stocks the whole shebang, after all, they did this with SARS2 and Ebola.
