I don’t know why this is confusing for people. You can’t have a vibrant economy when hospitals are overloaded and people are dying by the thousands. The best way to get back to work sooner? Stay the fuck at home for now.

Alex Jones is a sick puppy.


It’s almost like we live in a third-world country. These hospitals are going to have to hire Hells Angels to protect their PPE shipments. Incredible

This @JoeBiden ad is one of the very best I've ever seen.


Do you think Trump needs to be prosecuted for crimes against humanity?


Everyone seems to have a plan except Trump


Not all heroes wear PPE.


Trumpers losing their shit over the pandemic are evidence, yet again, that they are just angry *in general*, and their anger can be focused in almost any direction by entrepreneurs at Fox or in the White House. They don't even know what they're mad about; they're just mad.


Satire is dead.

The time to say more is actually upon us


If you're more concerned about Paul Manafort's current health status in prison than the peaceful pro-democracy protestors Paulie's boss murdered with sniper fire in Kyiv in 2014, don't be surprised when people question your motives. You know who you are.


I'd like an explanation why states are resorting to disguising PPE shipments in food delivery trucks to thwart various federal agencies from stealing them before they can be used.


If you’re criticizing Cuomo for not needing as many ventilators as he thought he would, you’re an idiot. He didn’t need as many as he thought precisely because he planned ahead and because social distancing works.


I know what side I'm on


They were abused &/or raised by an abusive drunk/addict/rager. Abusers are weak & use fear to embolden themselves. These are the daddy issues that define the evangelicals and white supremacists who cling to him - & the selfish pricks who use him as an excuse to not care.


No, it’s not easy to get reagents. No, Trump didn’t “inherit” bad coronavirus tests. No, Trump didn’t fully “ban” travel from China, Europe. No, all the protesters weren’t six feet apart. Yes, people foresaw this kind of crisis.

CNN's @JDiamond1: "Is this really the time for self-congratulations?" Trump says he's standing up for others who've done an incredible job. Diamond: The clips you played weren't of praise for others, just yourself. Trump attacks: "You don't have the brains you were born with."


Q: Are you inciting violence by calling people to liberate states? Pres Trump: "They've got cabin fever...They want their lives back...No, I am not. I've never seen so many American flags...These people love our country. They want to get back to work."


Seriously, I don’t understand how in his 73 years no one has just punched him right in the mouth. How is it possible he’s never spoken like that to a random woman in front of an actual man who didn’t just knee-jerk belt him? It’s so incredibly overdue.

I remember when the entire nation would have drawn together to fight Covid19. Now 30% of us want to die. I will never understand why. How can one man can have convinced 60 million people that their lives don't matter?
