Have we seen the “protestor” cop smashing up the Autozone?

National Guard coming in.  Going to be an interesting night in Minnesota.

Many plans can work if the players/coaches/trainers are very serious and diligent about their respective quarantine measures.

No plan will work if they aren’t.

Lets hope for the best.

The thing making rounds on right wing sites is that he was high on drugs and hence violent and he died of an overdose, as opposed to a person literally putting their knee and their body weight on his throat. Even though literally none of that is evident in any of the footage of his arrest or him on the ground. 

 

But hey, black guy, tats, etc. Obviously a drugged out thug who got what was coming to him. 

 

Playing the classics...

I'm not seeing as much noise as usual from the pro-police side of the argument this time around.  Not even the usual grandstanding by the police union.  At least not yet. 

Maybe they’re all still too busy trying to dig up a burglary charge on the poor jogger kid in Georgia?

I've eaten at Lynora's several times.  It is so good, it might be worth COVID to get a table there.

Nonna Maria is my spot.

Speaking of Florida...

Here’s what the Clematis district of West Palm Beach looked like last night.

I did not have “The Burning of Minnesota” on my 2020 Apocalypse Bingo card.

I feel like Ivanka is salvageable.  I could fix her.

Y’all quit talking about blackjack.  I haven’t played a shoe since October.

I will get down on some Roulette too.

Might have a few drinks tonight.  

Youve been warned...

National Cash Register!

I made a bet for Caps to reach ECF and Stanley Cup back in February.  I'm not sure how it works under this new setup. Does my bet get canceled by MGM?

If the season gets officially cancelled, you should get your bet back.

Trump’s “Warp Speed” October Surprise vaccine?

Ehhhh....prolly not gonna be on the tip of the spear for that one.

Been hoping to run into a beautiful ginger for a long time. It's like looking for a unicorn

Strangely enough, last time I was in Cleveland I saw 3-4 different ginger hammers over that weekend...clockstoppers.  That’s like 2 years worth down in Richmond.

Maybe it’s something in the water up there.

The Pelosi mention was a twitter trash drive-by.  Nothing more or less, and it completely dissolved any point he was trying to make.

Pelosi encouraging her constituents to ignore right-wing yellow peril bull**** was the right thing to do.  Then, now and forever.

Cold-blooded murder.

DeBlasio was definitely late to the party.  The day he gave the all clear for St Patty’s Day in NYC was the day before my brother and I closed our boutique...in Richmond, Virginia.

Up until the middle of January the WHO said it there was no evidence of person to person transmittal of the virus. In February, Nancy Pelosi was telling everyone to visit Chinatown. March 10 the Mayor of New York was telling everyone to go about their lives, go to concerts, go to shows, go to out and about. It is not just the "orange moron".

Your specific problems with Pelosi encouraging folks to patronize Chinese-owned businesses in her district as a pushback against “Wuhan Flu” nonsense?

Btw, Virginia’s numbers are in for today.

And they are unpleasant.  Northam’s decision to re-open the restaurants on an 82 degree Friday isn’t looking very smart right now.

We have to maintain and foster economic activity to some degree.  State tax revenue funds our police, our fire depts, our utility infrastructure and many, many other essential municipal services.

As we do this, we have to acknowledge the terrible outcomes that this disease can manifest if left unchecked.  So, schools/packed pubs/concerts and especially churches (they pay no taxes) must remain closed or highly regulated.

And we will do this tap-dance until there is an effective treatment/vaccine or until the virus mutates in a way that gives us a break.  There are no easy answers or solutions...none.  No amount of inflexible political bluster will make this reality go away.
