If today was not an crooked highway If tonight was not an crooked trail If tomorrow wasn't such a long time Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear her heart softly pounding If only she was lying by me Then I'd lie in my bed once again
I can't see my reflection in the water I can't speak the sounds that show no pain I can't hear the echo of my footsteps I can't remember the sound of my own name
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear her heart softly pounding If only she was lying by me Then I'd lie in my bed once again
There's beauty in the silver singing river There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky But none of these and nothing else could match the beauty That I remember in my true love's eyes
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear her heart softly pounding If only she was lying by m Then I'd lie in my bed once again
If today was not an endless highway If tonight was not an endless trail If tomorrow wasn't such a long time Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all

I love that we left England, I love the natural splendor of the topography, there's no other place on Earth with such a vast array of beautiful features, I love the concept of freedom & liberty...that you can truly go about the business of doing anything you desire to do if you set your mind to it.
Other than indoor plumbing...what else do you love about America? Serious question...is your hatred for Trump more powerful than your love for this country, or is your love for this country stronger than your hatred of Trump?
One recognized the potential pandemic in January thanks to accurate reporting and personal responses. The other said it was a hoax, a ploy by the other party to bring down their false prophet.
Then el presidente gave that speech, and the frightened little cultists raced to their stores for a little downhome panic shopping. (I live in one of those snooty liberal college towns, the Safeway I frequent never ran out of TP nor paper towels, and still has some cleaning supplies).
So it'll be interesting to see if the virus spreads any differently amongst our political parties, with one reacting with educated action in January, and the other doing the corona freakout in March
Meanwhile. ..
Over in china, in December , doctors knew of the virus because medical workers were getting sick.
..but they slapped gag orders on the doctors who reported this.
On January 18...CCP told the world "the risk of human to human transmission is low" on china state tv...
they allowed a Lunar New Year banquet to go forward and let MILLIONS travel out of Wuhan.
...but on January 23 enacted a quarantine.
china communist party cared more about suppressing information than suppressing the virus.
https://www.thepostmillennial.com/evidence-emerges-that-china-has-lied-a...
CCP enacted 'gag order' January 3. china instructed them to destroy the samples.
trump administration sent a team to Wuhan January 8. Information was intentionally withheld about the virus, it's spread, & the people infected.
I guess trump needs thicker skin because everyone sure as fuck blamed Obama for anything/everything when he was in charge.
It's still an ongoing joke. . 'thanks obama'
It took the federal government about 24 hrs to give wall st 1.5 trillion dollars. It's taken two weeks and they are still trying to figure out how to fuck over every working class American with a bum 1k check that will be taken out of your 2021 taxes.
I say this in all earnesty: they should put Bernie in charge of the stimulus and give him a ton of authority to do what he wants and to spend what he wants. Everyone agrees what's needed for the people right now, and a lot of it is his platform, from free health to student loan relief to investment in science to truly bringing manufacturing back to the US.
The stimulus, when it passes, will be Socialist Democracy. It will help people, they'll see that it has benefits, and it will have a way better chance of becoming part of the fabric of our society. It's hard to take something away from people once they've had it, and this will hopefully be a true catalyst.
The Miami Herald: "Our President Doesn't Care If We Die"
The Florida congressional delegation’s bipartisan plea is a welcome development, but it may be too little, too late. After all, the president has clearly washed his hands of this national ordeal. After his administration has known since January that the deadly wave of coronavirus was going to wash ashore; after reportedly seeking to suppress the number of confirmed infections in the country by slow-walking test kits to the states; after taking “no responsibility” for the spread the disease domestically; after telling governors they’re on their own if they need medical supplies; after having no words of comfort at a Friday press conference — Not. One. Word. — for scared Americans, it’s not a stretch to say that this president does not fundamentally care whether we live or die.
U.S. intelligence agencies were issuing ominous, classified warnings in January and February about the global danger posed by the coronavirus while President Trump and lawmakers played down the threat and failed to take action that might have slowed the spread of the pathogen, according to U.S. officials familiar with spy agency reporting.
The intelligence reports didn’t predict when the virus might land on U.S. shores or recommend particular steps that public health officials should take, issues outside the purview of the intelligence agencies. But they did track the spread of the virus in China, and later in other countries, and warned that Chinese officials appeared to be minimizing the severity of the outbreak.
...ald Trump may not have been expecting this, but a lot of other people in the government were — they just couldn’t get him to do anything about it,” this official said. “The system was blinking red.”
EOUL, South Korea — President Trump has sent a letter to North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, expressing his willingness to help the North battle the coronavirus, North Korea said on Sunday.
“I would like to extend sincere gratitude to the U.S. president for sending his invariable faith to the Chairman,” said Kim Yo-jong, the North Korean leader’s sister and policy aide, in a statement carried by the North’s state-run Korean Central News Agency. Ms. Kim lauded Mr. Trump’s decision to write the letter as “a good judgment and proper action.”
In the letter, Mr. Trump “wished the family of the Chairman and our people well-being,” Ms. Kim said, referring to his brother by one of his official titles.
According to Ms. Kim, Mr. Trump also explained his plan to move relations between the two countries forward and “expressed his intent to render cooperation in the anti-epidemic work, saying that he was impressed by the efforts made by the Chairman to defend his people from the serious threat of the epidemic.”
Nice pic there, Bryen. I've been on that road. Those are the kind of lands your hero is doing his best to tear up and strip protections from. Imagine that pic with a few oil rigs in it, not to mention a uranium mine.
And no my "hatred" (as you called it) of the occupant does not surpass my love of this country. My emotion is more total disgust leading to activism, as hatred can poison.
The occupant is a temporary nightmare from which we will emerge and thrive and do what we can to erase the memory. This country and our democracy is too strong to let this one narcissist have a negative permanent effect. Oddly, he will have a positive effect as we rise to defeat him and come together to repair the damage. It's gonna be a helluva party on November 4th and January 20th.
^^also all the this. have been avoiding stores since early this week, and seeing that even as of yesterday these assfucks still think they don't have enough?
like how long do these people think they need to stalk the deliveries of every store before they are satisfied with their endtimes stockpile
I think admin knows. Word is some other Zoners know him. Reminds me a lot of that clown from a few years ago. Maybe he has the same mental condition, resulting in similar behavior.

Here you go slick:
"Coronavirus is killing us in Florida, Gov. DeSantis. Act like you give a damn" | Editorial
With Florida’s economy crashing under the weight of the coronavirus pandemic, Gov. Ron DeSantis is working overtime to preserve our status as the world’s leading exporter of political comedy.
Friday, DeSantis mounted the bully pulpit to present House Speaker Jose Oliva, with a baseball bat inscribed with the words “Slayer of the healthcare industrial complex.”
It was a sophomoric bit of messaging on any day. It was inexcusably tone-deaf when the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in Florida topped 500. At least 10 people had died since the crisis began.
There is no operator’s manual for handling the most singular health threat in this country in more than a century. But if there were, we would urge Gov. Gavin Newsom, of California, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, of New York, or Gov. Ned Lamont of Connecticut to share it with Florida’s governor — quickly. These other state leaders have taken decisive actions, not necessarily popular, but deemed necessary, nonetheless, to slow the virus’ spread. Newsom ordered the 40 million state residents, with some exceptions, to stay home. Cuomo, Lamont and others have issued similar directives.
Unfortunately, DeSantis, who despite trying to appear large and in charge in front the microphone and TV cameras delivering coronavirus updates, has been a timid leader in the face of the growing scourge — and growing number of deaths — from the disease in his state. By Saturday, the number of confirmed cases had exceeded 700. At least two more people had died bring the state total to at least 12. The governor announced that he was thinking about isolation shelters for people with confirmed COVID-19 or symptoms. Again, no details, no idea when it could happen.
Like we said, timid.
BIPARTISAN PLEA
On the same day of the baseball-bat nonsense, 14 Republican and Democratic members of Florida’s congressional delegation joined to plead with President Trump on behalf of the medical professionals who stand between us and the virus that has already claimed the lives of 197 Americans and another 10,000 worldwide.
The names — Matt Gaetz, Ted Deutch, Al Lawson, Michael Waltz, Gus Bilirakis, Bill Posey, Mario Diaz-Balart, Val Demings, Francis Rooney, Daniel Webster, Greg Steube, Charlie Crist, Ted Yoho, Ross Spano and John Rutherford — are worth noting. Politically speaking, they are not anywhere on the same page. They’re not even reading the same book. But they joined to implore Vice President Pence, Trump’s coronavirus czar, to provide the “vital medical supplies, equipment, and personnel required to protect healthcare professionals, treat patients and combat the spread of COVID-19” in Florida.
In Indiana, Pence’s home state, a hospital chain is begging the public to sew face masks for use by its overwhelmed and underresourced staff. The hospitals’ Facebook post includes a video, pattern and instructions. In Georgia and California, the people who play doctors on TV are donating the contents of their costume and props departments to their real-life role models who have been told by our government to improvise essential safety gear using bandanas, scarves, and paper napkins.
The Florida congressional delegation’s bipartisan plea is a welcome development, but it may be too little, too late. After all, the president has clearly washed his hands of this national ordeal. After his administration has known since January that the deadly wave of coronavirus was going to wash ashore; after reportedly seeking to suppress the number of confirmed infections in the country by slow-walking test kits to the states; after taking “no responsibility” for the spread the disease domestically; after telling governors they’re on their own if they need medical supplies; after having no words of comfort at a Friday press conference — Not. One. Word. — for scared Americans, it’s not a stretch to say that this president does not fundamentally care whether we live or die.
GOVERNOR MUST LEAD
DeSantis must step up, whether he ticks off his benefactor Trump or not. He must add his voice to the bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers and insist Florida get those “vital medical supplies, equipment, and personnel required to protect healthcare professionals, treat patients and combat the spread of COVID-19.” Otherwise, he’s as derelict as the president.
Only four states in the country pay less in unemployment compensation than Florida. FILEUNEMPLOYMENT.ORG
He must spearhead a plan to help the abruptly out-of-work. DeSantis made a decent start by eliminating the requirement that people seeking unemployment benefits must actively be looking for a job. Now, he must raise the abysmally low payment rate. In Florida, unemployment can reach a measly maximum of $275 per week, for anywhere between 12 to 23 weeks. In high-cost South Florida, that’s a joke. In fact, according to FileUnemployment.org, Florida is almost rock bottomin what it pays for unemployment insurance compensation. Only Alabama, Louisiana, Arizona and Mississippi, which pays the lowest at $235, keep Florida from complete embarrassment.
By raising the rate of payment, Florida will draw down more in federal funds. A provision in the coronavirus relief package passed last week by Congress and signed by the president — What else could he do? — says federal government will pay whatever Florida needs for unemployment compensation, U.S. Rep. Donna Shalala told the Editorial Board. However, those funds will be based on the level that individual states already pay. Florida’s pay rate is so low, Shalala said, that, “A lot of our tax money is going to go to Michigan.”
Why would DeSantis allow that to happen? Will he let a “small government is best” ideology cheat Floridians out of adequate healthcare, as did his predecessor’s refusal to expand Medicaid?
OUT OF WORK
There are nearly 400,000 people employed in Florida hotels and businesses that support the hotel industry who are out of a job, according to data released by the American Hotel & Lodging Association. That number will soar when those employed in just about every other industry hard hit by coronavirus closures lose their jobs, too.
Unemployment and self-quarantine would be easier to bear if we knew that it would actually reduce the spread of the virus and save lives.
Public health professionals know how to do that, but DeSantis has elected not to put such people in charge. In the absence of coherent, evidence-based marching orders from DeSantis, local officials and industry executives have been making it up as they go along, getting farther out ahead of the curve than the governor.
The consequences of the governor’s hesitating approach are even being exported. Jeffrey Ghazarian, 34, died last week at a Pasadena, California, hospital, just days after a trip to Orlando’s Disney World and Universal theme parks. Pictures of Florida’s crowded beaches, taken days after every expert in the world was sounding the social-distancing alarm, have further cemented our place as an international punchline. Friday, DeSantis closed the beaches in Broward and Palm Beach counties, but is being sued by a Florida attorney to close all the beaches in the state.
On Friday, DeSantis issued the most widespread mandatory statewide restrictions on businesses to date — closing gyms, fitness centers and limiting restaurants to delivery service.
The virus is so contagious that universities were closed indefinitely, but the college kids were still mobbing Florida beaches for Spring Break.
Asked to explain, the governor delivered a rambling, incoherent monologue that went on for too long.
But DeSantis thinks he’s doing a heckuva job. He’s not.

Oddly, he will have a positive effect as we rise to defeat him and come together to repair the damage. It's gonna be a helluva party on November 4th and January 20th.

"Coronavirus is killing us in Florida, Gov. DeSantis. Act like you give a damn" | Editorial
With Florida’s economy crashing under the weight of the coronavirus pandemic, Gov. Ron DeSantis is working overtime to preserve our status as the world’s leading exporter of political comedy.
Friday, DeSantis mounted the bully pulpit to present House Speaker Jose Oliva, with a baseball bat inscribed with the words “Slayer of the healthcare industrial complex.”
It was a sophomoric bit of messaging on any day. It was inexcusably tone-deaf when the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in Florida topped 500. At least 10 people had died since the crisis began.
There is no operator’s manual for handling the most singular health threat in this country in more than a century. But if there were, we would urge Gov. Gavin Newsom, of California, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, of New York, or Gov. Ned Lamont of Connecticut to share it with Florida’s governor — quickly. These other state leaders have taken decisive actions, not necessarily popular, but deemed necessary, nonetheless, to slow the virus’ spread. Newsom ordered the 40 million state residents, with some exceptions, to stay home. Cuomo, Lamont and others have issued similar directives.
Unfortunately, DeSantis, who despite trying to appear large and in charge in front the microphone and TV cameras delivering coronavirus updates, has been a timid leader in the face of the growing scourge — and growing number of deaths — from the disease in his state. By Saturday, the number of confirmed cases had exceeded 700. At least two more people had died bring the state total to at least 12. The governor announced that he was thinking about isolation shelters for people with confirmed COVID-19 or symptoms. Again, no details, no idea when it could happen.
Like we said, timid.
BIPARTISAN PLEA
On the same day of the baseball-bat nonsense, 14 Republican and Democratic members of Florida’s congressional delegation joined to plead with President Trump on behalf of the medical professionals who stand between us and the virus that has already claimed the lives of 197 Americans and another 10,000 worldwide.
The names — Matt Gaetz, Ted Deutch, Al Lawson, Michael Waltz, Gus Bilirakis, Bill Posey, Mario Diaz-Balart, Val Demings, Francis Rooney, Daniel Webster, Greg Steube, Charlie Crist, Ted Yoho, Ross Spano and John Rutherford — are worth noting. Politically speaking, they are not anywhere on the same page. They’re not even reading the same book. But they joined to implore Vice President Pence, Trump’s coronavirus czar, to provide the “vital medical supplies, equipment, and personnel required to protect healthcare professionals, treat patients and combat the spread of COVID-19” in Florida.
In Indiana, Pence’s home state, a hospital chain is begging the public to sew face masks for use by its overwhelmed and underresourced staff. The hospitals’ Facebook post includes a video, pattern and instructions. In Georgia and California, the people who play doctors on TV are donating the contents of their costume and props departments to their real-life role models who have been told by our government to improvise essential safety gear using bandanas, scarves, and paper napkins.
The Florida congressional delegation’s bipartisan plea is a welcome development, but it may be too little, too late. After all, the president has clearly washed his hands of this national ordeal. After his administration has known since January that the deadly wave of coronavirus was going to wash ashore; after reportedly seeking to suppress the number of confirmed infections in the country by slow-walking test kits to the states; after taking “no responsibility” for the spread the disease domestically; after telling governors they’re on their own if they need medical supplies; after having no words of comfort at a Friday press conference — Not. One. Word. — for scared Americans, it’s not a stretch to say that this president does not fundamentally care whether we live or die.
GOVERNOR MUST LEAD
DeSantis must step up, whether he ticks off his benefactor Trump or not. He must add his voice to the bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers and insist Florida get those “vital medical supplies, equipment, and personnel required to protect healthcare professionals, treat patients and combat the spread of COVID-19.” Otherwise, he’s as derelict as the president.
Only four states in the country pay less in unemployment compensation than Florida. FILEUNEMPLOYMENT.ORG
He must spearhead a plan to help the abruptly out-of-work. DeSantis made a decent start by eliminating the requirement that people seeking unemployment benefits must actively be looking for a job. Now, he must raise the abysmally low payment rate. In Florida, unemployment can reach a measly maximum of $275 per week, for anywhere between 12 to 23 weeks. In high-cost South Florida, that’s a joke. In fact, according to FileUnemployment.org, Florida is almost rock bottomin what it pays for unemployment insurance compensation. Only Alabama, Louisiana, Arizona and Mississippi, which pays the lowest at $235, keep Florida from complete embarrassment.
By raising the rate of payment, Florida will draw down more in federal funds. A provision in the coronavirus relief package passed last week by Congress and signed by the president — What else could he do? — says federal government will pay whatever Florida needs for unemployment compensation, U.S. Rep. Donna Shalala told the Editorial Board. However, those funds will be based on the level that individual states already pay. Florida’s pay rate is so low, Shalala said, that, “A lot of our tax money is going to go to Michigan.”
Why would DeSantis allow that to happen? Will he let a “small government is best” ideology cheat Floridians out of adequate healthcare, as did his predecessor’s refusal to expand Medicaid?
OUT OF WORK
There are nearly 400,000 people employed in Florida hotels and businesses that support the hotel industry who are out of a job, according to data released by the American Hotel & Lodging Association. That number will soar when those employed in just about every other industry hard hit by coronavirus closures lose their jobs, too.
Unemployment and self-quarantine would be easier to bear if we knew that it would actually reduce the spread of the virus and save lives.
Public health professionals know how to do that, but DeSantis has elected not to put such people in charge. In the absence of coherent, evidence-based marching orders from DeSantis, local officials and industry executives have been making it up as they go along, getting farther out ahead of the curve than the governor.
The consequences of the governor’s hesitating approach are even being exported. Jeffrey Ghazarian, 34, died last week at a Pasadena, California, hospital, just days after a trip to Orlando’s Disney World and Universal theme parks. Pictures of Florida’s crowded beaches, taken days after every expert in the world was sounding the social-distancing alarm, have further cemented our place as an international punchline. Friday, DeSantis closed the beaches in Broward and Palm Beach counties, but is being sued by a Florida attorney to close all the beaches in the state.
On Friday, DeSantis issued the most widespread mandatory statewide restrictions on businesses to date — closing gyms, fitness centers and limiting restaurants to delivery service.
The virus is so contagious that universities were closed indefinitely, but the college kids were still mobbing Florida beaches for Spring Break.
Asked to explain, the governor delivered a rambling, incoherent monologue that went on for too long.
But DeSantis thinks he’s doing a heckuva job. He’s not.

Here's something I wrote in
Thanks LLTD. Here's something I wrote in January of 2018. It's called "No Instructions Included".
There’s a chasm in our country Getting deep, getting long
It’s being dug with the words I am right, you are wrong
With the pride that we have in our country And hope in the land we live
There’s not a chasm in this world That we can’t bridge.
Choose hope Choose love
Choose the chance To rise above
Choose to be The one to find
The path to peace in our time.
As to my personal failings with this, like Jackson Browne wrote, "Don't confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them".
