The Republican Economic Crash
We’re weeks away from falling into an economic crash. Vast swaths of retail are closing or “Going Out of Business!” But because stocks are up, McConnell is blocking any action.
After Trump Loses
What happens after Trump loses the 2020 election? America will still have almost three months of Trump rule. Trump may be indifferent to America, but he’ll be in a complete panic about himself. We need to plan for that time, too.
Predictions About Trump: Cheating the Election
Dealing with Trump is depressing, but some predictions about Trump are possible. He’s looking at an election he’ll lose. Here are a few of my predictions about the ways he might cheat.
Dealing With Trump: Before the Election
We need to deal with Trump between now and the 2020 Presidential election. In 2016, we gave terrible powers to a madman with no boundaries and disdain for the rule of law. Now that he’s losing badly, he’ll do everything possible to stop, corrupt, or suppress the election. We can’t just react; we need to think ahead to beat them.
Are Republicans Evil?
Each time Republicans refuse to limit suffering, pain, or despair, we pretend they are acting honorably, and we just disagree. Sure, the GOP regularly disdained mercy, but we still tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. It seemed polite. But what if that’s not true? Are Republicans evil?
This is Art
We’re reposting the FindAClearTruth video about Trump’s speech in Tulsa. It’s long, rambling, petty, disjointed, and ultimately hilarious. I hate the term at the end, but I was laughing out loud anyway. I think this is art.
Americans are Really Bad at Math
Americans are bad at math. The US daily COVID-19 positive rates only look steady because we aren’t testing any more people.
Every week we test 100K and find another 30K new infections. That’s not what “getting better” looks like. But no, we won’t find any better answers when the best we manage is testing one maybe person in 3000.
Republicans Know that Retribution Works
Republicans know retribution works. They savage every critic, every time. Reporters hold back the next time, especially the big corporate news, worried them might block their employer next time. Politicians either go quiet or suck up to Trump, so he doesn’t withhold the supplies they need to save people’s lives. And that silence leaves most of us in the dark at the worst possible time. Sorry, but crime pays.
