GOP congressman says pre-K education isn't needed because stay-at-home parents are still a thing

It’s safe to say that Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wisconsin) is not the brightest bulb on the marquee. While a member of the Wisconsin state Senate, Grothman proposed putting an end to weekends, said sex education could turn kids gay, once issued a press release titled “Why Must We Still Hear About...

Minerva at Midnight: should Blade Runner kill 9% of the Philippine economy

We have all experienced remotely-located call centers, whether from US prisons or foreign countries. “Minerva at Midnight” (I’m usually posting a story at midnight so I might as well make it a feature, not a bug) Blade Runner questions will be at least amusing when you as a disgruntled consumer, is...

Ted Cruz more embarrassed being caught in Mexico than facilitating an insurrection

Ted Cruz tried to slither around the coverage of his holiday in Cancun, including an interview on Hannity to offset a series of lies once social media caught him at the airport. #TedFled because he’s really not all about the accountability or even patriotism considering his role in the insurrection.

“…suburban stay-at-home wives make up about 4 percent of the US population” Will they save Trump?

Trump is trying to scare suburbanites perhaps on the basis of race (low-income housing signifying more diversity) but today he suggested that middle class PoC would agree because Trump probably believes, “who doesn’t hate the poor?” The problem comes from simultaneously insulting women he deems “nasty”. x Watched @billmaher last week...

Counterprotester trolls Wisconsin death cult mob with remote-controlled corona car

Yesterday, the GOP Death Cult, Wisconsin Chapter swarmed the Wisconsin state Capitol to protest Gov. Tony Evers’ stay-at-home order. Madison, Wisconsin was a hotbed of civil disobedience in the ‘60s and ‘70s, back when students were actually interested in not dying or killing other human beings. For instance, when Richard Nixon started indiscriminately bombing...

“There are more important things than living.” There's Trumpian feds hijacking the supply chain

Shakedowns of materiel like PPEs that demonstrate abuses of federal power are now de rigueur and should not be confused with fiscal policy or even neoliberal austerity. Disaster hides much venality. It’s about rank kleptocratic crony-capitalism in the form of market-cornering or cartelization. For example, Trump’s brag about ventilators is no different than...

Do Recent POLITICAL Decisions and Protests Negate IHME Coronavirus Model?

Do political decisions by Trump allies, protesters, and red state governors like Brian Kemp of Georgia and Ron DeSantis of Florida negate the IHME model for the coronavirus? For those not into the weeds of coronavirus modeling, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington produced...

196 days until election day, more Pyrrhic victories ahead.

As Trump ridicules social distancing as “politically correct” he reveals how little he respects his “own” guidelines, and continues to believe that his path to re-election is to restart the economy atop the bodies of COVID victims. President Donald Trump is fighting back against the public health and economic fallout...

Doctor on anti-stay-at-home protests: 'This is a stab in the back'

A phalanx of supposed adults assembled in Brookfield, Wisconsin, yesterday to protest Gov. Tony Evers’ Safer at Home policy. They stood shoulder to shoulder, and there appeared to be far more pro-Trump signs than masks. (If I were a Trump supporter I’d wear a mask even if we weren’t in the...

Inslee Says Trump is “Off the Rails” and “Fomenting Rebellion”

< p class=”is-empty-p”> Trump is using Twitter to encourage those right-wing idiots who want Michigan and Minnesota (and also Ohio and Virginia) to drop their stay-at-home orders. In response, Governor Jay Inslee (D-WA), whose state was the first to be hit by the coronavirus, issued an official statement today: “The...

Wisconsinites plan 'Freedom Rally' to protest governor's shelter-in-place order

Oh, Wisconsin. Just when I start to feel a little pride in my home state, you snatch it away from me. I grew out of the rich loam and manure of the Badger State, and I encountered many a beer-spattered, fromage-festooned troglodyte along the way, so this doesn’t really surprise me...

Bundy Tells Idahoans to Ignore Stay-At-Home Orders Because the Governor Wasn't Polite

You remember Ammon Bundy, son of Cliven Bundy. The Bundy family has led armed takeovers of federal land in Oregon and Nevada in 2014 and 2016 because they didn’t want to pay grazing fees to the feds. Well, now he’s back. This time it’s the state of Idaho that’s got...

Keeping churches open on Easter is a new form of snake handling as eight red states remain “open”

Arizona still has golf courses open because they are “essential businesses” as Trump yesterday stated that he’d like Easter services to take place, albeit outside. Trump does seem under the sway of folk theories as he insists on promoting COVID-19 treatments using hydroxychloroquine without scientific evidence. Such appeals to faith...
