The Louisiana legislature just voted to restrict access to mail-in ballots in their primary, which was already delayed because of the coronavirus. In fact, some GOP members tried to block the measure because they claimed that it still gave too much access to mail-in voting. Their reasons? As usual, the Republicans claimed that voting by […]
The ACLU has a petition to get Congress to pass a law requiring all states to allow vote-by-mail, like Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and other states already do. After you sign it, they will automatically send a message to your congressperson and senators. This is to avoid the disaster that just happened in Wisconsin, with people […]
According to the site Worldometers, the US has now passed 1 million cases of Coronavirus. They also report that 195,787 cases are closed (either because the patient recovered, or died), which means that there are still 814,569 active cases. Of course, when you go to the site, those numbers will have changed. For the worse. […]
The Saturday Night Live cold open last night featured a famous actor playing Dr. Anthony Fauci, Donald Trump’s (soon to be ex-) director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. What you may not know is that a few weeks ago, Fauci was asked by a reporter who he would want to play […]
Donald Trump claimed that he has total authority, but backed down in less than 24 hours, and pretended to “allow” the governors to do whatever they want. But when he said “I take no responsibility” for the failures of the government response to the coronavirus pandemic, I think he was actually telling the truth. Is […]
You know this was going to happen, based on the recent very sound medical advice from Donald Trump, our very stable genius. Let the memes begin! And here’s some relevant poetry, sarcastically attributed to Trump: You know I’m not a doctor – but of course I could have been,That’s why, until a week ago, I […]
Donald Trump campaigns by attacking his opponents. He did it in 2016 against Hillary Clinton. Now in 2020, the need is even more dire, because he can’t campaign by taking credit for a good economy anymore. So he is doing what he always does, throwing out attacks constantly to see which ones stick (in other […]
11. Make more music over Zoom. I’m beginning to believe that the official music of the coronavirus pandemic is Funk. Most of you don’t know this, but I’m also an amateur musician (I play bass). Lately (like many musicians) I too have been participating in Zoom calls to make music. It really helps to play […]
I’m dying here… It’s amazing how much people want to get to work, they just — they’re dying to get back to work. — Sean Hannity
10. The Dad-osaur. Coming to a home near you. I totally cracked up laughing at this one.
This is hilarious: So many interesting videos today!
We should always follow the rules, except when we can’t. I think we could make a video just like this, created entirely from video clips of Donald Trump. That might clear one thing up.
9. Make YouTube videos using Zoom conferencing: I especially like the fake falling thing starting around 1 minute in.
Donald Trump wants you to think that the small anti-quarantine protests that took place this weekend in various state capitols were spontaneous grassroots events, but they were anything but. First of all, Trump’s tweets in support of these protests were all aimed at states with Democratic governors, and ignored Republican governors who also issued stay-at-home […]
I’ve really been enjoying the posts from historian Heather Cox Richardson, in her free column “Letters from an American“. Here’s an excerpt from her April 12 post, talking about the ongoing destruction of our democracy. Of course there are plenty of mentions of Donald Trump, but then she points out a related problem that many […]
