    Q: Wow. I didn't realize you had COVID.

    A: Um... yeah. I kind of didn't want to run around screaming it. But it's real. And there's after-effects. I had to go through some major medications to undo the residual effects. Still coughing. There's still lung damage.

    Great post Tomi.  I can’t wait to see your posts once they wean fat fuck’s steroids.  Gonna be great timing a couple weeks before the elections. 

    Forgive my ignorance, but why is it necessary to wean off if they are helping (I assume they are helping) his condition.  Or at least helping deal with discomfort.  And how many days is the typical weaning period?

    Holy shit 

    FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Former campaign manager for Donald Trump, Brad Parscale, who was replaced by the President less than four month until November’s vote was reportedly armed with a gun and threatening to harm himself at his Fort Lauderdale home on Sunday afternoon.

    Police have not confirmed that Parscale worked for Trump, but records confirm that the property in Fort Lauderdale is owned by Parscale and Local 10 has spoken to neighbors who also said it was the former advisor to the President.

    Fort Lauderdale Police responded to a home in reference to an armed male attempting suicide Sunday afternoon. When officers arrived on the scene, they made contact with the wife of the man who told them her husband was armed, had access to multiple firearms inside the house and was threatening to harm himself. She had placed the 911 call.

    Fort Lauderdale Police said that the armed subject was transported to Broward Health Medical Center where he was placed under a Baker Act.

    I sincerely wish that I wasn't the only one who would acknowledge that the laws intended to protect Americans from unwarranted government surveillance were broken in the course of the Russiagate thing. But I recognize that I am speaking to an audience of posters who largely think that a UK spook operating in a political context to seed disinformation from Russians to influence our election was operating in our best interests. Breaking that delusion down has caused some real brain damage. 

    Can you elaborate on this?  Who do you mean by "our"?  The american politicians who paid him, or us, the average american?  Prolly naive, but I'd imagine a foreign ally who was paid (presumably) handsomely would indeed have our bests interests in mind during the investigation we paid him to conduct.  Return business and all that.

    So, in addition the tragedy of so many people unable to pay their rent and possibly getting evicted, we’re about to get The Big Short Part 2, aren’t we?   Those securitized mortgage packages from 2008 never really went away, you know, and plenty of landlords are highly leveraged with their rents now getting abruptly slashed in half.

    I thought they kinda went away when the big bank mortgage holders were bailed out.  But I'm dumb and may be completely overlooking what you're saying.

    But yes, the landlords who will be evicting will be financially fucked and the poor bastards who can't move in with their parents will be proper fucked.  And crime/drug use/suicides will likely spike.  Because we elected a bunch of immoral assholes who don't give a fuck about us.  Time to drink.

    This.  While it sounds nice to run away, holding the line here in the US is likely our last, best hope.  If we surrender our position on the globe -- and we're running at breakneck speed to do so -- then what fills the void will not be pretty, for us or anyone else.

    We are on the brink of becoming the kind of world that couldn't help but fall into a WWI and then a WWII.  This decade is where liberal democracy -- the concept that largely kept the peace and paved the way for unprecedented prosperity for 75 years -- makes its stand.  And yes, the inherent flaws of liberal democracy helped bring this moment about -- there are weaknesses that were there to be exploited.  But now, the fight is an existential one.  

    There are people who don't think it is as serious as making our stand in the fight for everything right now.  They are wrong.  That is absolutely what is at stake.

    Between reading your takes and hearing (or reading the captions - the man is hard to decipher) on Noam's take, I'm starting to think this trump fellow might be doing some real damage...
