  1. Alabama farmers are fucked but can't quite figure out who to blame:

     

    Quote

    Tuberville said valued he endorsement because the federation’s members are “down home people” who love the country. He said he tried to attend as many local meetings of Farmers Federation chapters as he could.

    “I met a lot of great people,” Tuberville said. “I was around people that really care about this state and country.

    “And they’re hurting right now, obviously, about the tariffs. But you know, there’s no bigger supporter of President Trump even though he’s putting a noose around their neck a little bit in terms of choking them out and keeping that price down . And they’re not making the money. So, I just hope that we get this thing over with because they’re great people.”

    Mitt Walker, national affairs director of the Alabama Farmers Federation, said tariffs imposed by China in retaliation for others imposed by Trump have reduced exports to China and hurt Alabama farmers by lowering commodity prices.

    so this would take reading beyond a headline (or perhaps not The Blaze) to understand. Of course then you wouldn't get your full truth unvarnished with pesky facts. And, even if the article you quoted was correct, you make the further leap to "in charge of Twitch censorship" which is even more ludicrous. Physician, heal thyself.


    Ironically, Emaw was right: this is exactly the internet in 2020.  Unfortunately, it's his own use of the internet that he's describing.

  3. Holy shit! This is what you guys in Texas are up against.  This is a Bexar County GOP official. Note that she weighs probably 250 .lbs. Note how fat all of the people applauding her are. Doesn't this beg so many questions, like why, if the Coronavirus is a hoax perpetrated by the Democrats,  the Republican governor of Texas shut down the state. 
     




    Beto won nearly 60% of Bexar County in 2018.

  4. Why Covid-19 is so much worse than the flu:

     

    Quote

    Researchers who examined the lungs of patients killed by covid-19 found evidence that it attacks the lining of blood vessels there, a critical difference from the lungs of people who died of the flu, according to a report published Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

    Critical parts of the lungs of patients infected with the novel coronavirus also suffered many microscopic blood clots and appeared to respond to the attack by growing tiny new blood vessels, the researchers reported.

    The observations in a small number of autopsied lungs buttress reports from physicians treating covid-19 patients. Doctors have described widespread damage to blood vessels and the presence of blood clots that would not be expected in a respiratory disease.

     

    “What’s different about covid-19 is the lungs don’t get stiff or injured or destroyed before there’s hypoxia,” the medical term for oxygen deprivation, said Steven J. Mentzer, a professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School and part of the team that wrote the report. “For whatever reason, there is a vascular phase” in addition to damage more commonly associated with viral diseases such as the flu, he said.

  5. "The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickled down. Put it uphill and let it go and it will reach the dryest little spot. But he didn’t know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellow’s hands."  --- Will Rogers, 1932

  6. GOP fronts "pro-Trump"  doctors to prescribe rapid re-opening.

    "Republican political operatives are recruiting “extremely pro-Trump” doctors to go on television to prescribe reviving the U.S. economy as quickly as possible, without waiting to meet safety benchmarks proposed by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to slow the spread of the new coronavirus.

    The plan was discussed in a May 11 conference call with a senior staffer for the Trump reelection campaign organized by CNP Action, an affiliate of the GOP-aligned Council for National Policy. A leaked recording of the hourlong call was provided to The Associated Press by the Center for Media and Democracy, a progressive watchdog group."
