Looking back, my comments may appear foolish, but it was an honest assessment at that time!

Thanks.

Contrast and compare "Peace in our time" to the early Trump tweets/statements on this. One of them has coherent sentences, obviously.

Here we go with the spin again!! :)

Pence is very special when he lies. He keeps such a straight face.

The bottom line is this: Some leaders, and ordinary people, were listening to experts/science as this was approaching. And some were being idiots. I know where I would place Trump and his Believers in this regard.

Ok then. Bb5+.

Amazing that Fauci is dealing with that kind of BS. It's fucking Night Of The Living Dead. The Trumpy zombies can't deal with the truth. (Hey Bytor, what do you think of Fauci?)

how is your corona supply? my local supermarkets have been bananas so im not going.

Skuj 04.02.2020 03:10 PM

a4.

Meh, every few days I go to groceries, crowds are sparse, I stay 2m+ from everyone, supplies are no problem, and I use self checkout machines. I suppose we are lucky here.

The biggest challenge for me is being the teacher for my 11yr old these days. (Oh, and the whole getting divorced thing. There's that as well.)

BREAKING: Confirmed cases of coronavirus top 1 million worldwide

Soderbergh knew this was coming. But Donaldo was watching Gone With The Wind.

(By the way, Marion Cotillard... HOO-WAH!)

Skuj 04.02.2020 03:54 PM

Those Democratic films are so terrible. And some of them have subtitles. Give me a good old Republican film any day.

I think it is very important to continue with your reading, films, music during this. Art will save us.
