We always knew this is how it would end. From the moment he was elected

We knew he would do something corrupt and get impeached.
We knew there would be a national crisis that he would be incapable of handling and put us all in danger.

We all said it. We knew it. Too bad we are all going to pay the price.

November cannot get here soon enough to get rid of this narcissist asshole.

So he sent the National Guard to the Border, because we were in danger of an " invasion"

Now we have a real invasion and he won't get off his fat ass and do what needs to be done to protect us, when we have people dying. The Gov of NY is begging for help from the Army corp of engineers to build more hospital facilities. Trump says you are on your own when it comes to ventilators , and Cuomo needs to do more?

3 days, 12 stores, finally found toilet paper!

It was like I struck gold or hit the lottery, when I went to Winn Dixie and there were a few rolls left. It was not the brand I usually buy, this was a more expensive brand, but now is not the time to be choosy. I had 4 rolls left at home and was starting to panic. LOL!
They were limiting it to one per customer. Now to replenish my hand sanitizer. I still have one bottle left

Great! Magats will love this. New movie that paints them as being "persecuted by the libs"

Contains spoilers if you ever intended to watch this movie.....

"The Hunt" has a MAGA agenda: Trump supporters desperately wish they were actually persecuted. Craig Zobel's horror flick is a fantasy for the conservatives who want to believe they are victims, not victimizers. President Donald Trump's supporters aren't victims, they're victimizers. Shame on "The Hunt" for pandering to one of their most cherished fantasies – that they are persecuted.
I felt the need to begin this article with those two sentences because "The Hunt," a new horror film directed by Craig Zobel ("Compliance," "Z for Zachariah&quot and written by Nick Cuse and Damon Lindelof ("Lost," "Star Trek Into Darkness&quot , tells the story of liberal elites who kidnap 12 conservatives — heavily implied to be Trump supporters since they're often referred to as "deplorables" — in order to hunt them for sport.

There isn't much in the way of plot in "The Hunt." The Trump supporters are picked off one by one until only two survivors remain (played by "GLOW" star Betty Gilpin and Wayne Duvall) and they turn the tables on the liberal elites (the leader is played by Oscar winner Hilary Swank). There are a couple of plot twists thrown into the narrative to give the illusion of cleverness, but the film's entire story could otherwise fit on the back of a postcard. None of the kills are particularly memorable, all of the characters are two-dimensional stereotypes, and the pacing is so brisk that the movie feels like it's over before it has had a chance to start. Even if "The Hunt" were completely apolitical, it would still be mediocre and forgettable.

Alas, "The Hunt" is very much about politics — namely, validating right-wingers who desperately want to believe they are among the wronged of the world. While Zobel has said that the movie's goal is to "poke at both sides of the aisle equally," there are three problems with that statement. The first is that an early draft of the script reportedly depicted working-class conservatives as the heroes, suggesting that the film always had a pro-conservative agenda. (Although, it should be noted that Gilpin's character Crystal, is actually an apolitical schmoe who was hapless enough to get mixed up in this business because of liberal incompetence.)

The second is that the film's attempt at "balance" is to reveal near the end that there this brutal hunt never actually existed until right-wing conspiracy theorists incorrectly accused several liberal elites of participating in one, thereby inspiring them to actually create it. It's a "twist" that still manages to make the liberals into monsters and the conservatives into, at worst, fear-mongering fools . . . and is also the only significant shade thrown at the pro-Trump side in this story.

Did Pence just say "as the president often says"- "We are all in this together?"

Did he really say that? Since when? He's been the president of 1/3 of the country for the last 3 years. You stood before them 2 weeks ago and told them it was a hoax. Why change now.
No we are not all in this together. You still want to skew the numbers. You said Americans should stay on a ship that could potentially kill them. So your numbers would not look bad. Gimme a fuckin break!

I believe this whole testing fiasco is entirely your fault because you did not want the numbers to look bad.
Rant over.

40-49 yrs old? You should be worried about Covid 19

I just saw an expert mention this on MSNBC- No you will probably not die in this age group if you are infected - but there is a chance that you may be left with reduced lung function in this age group after you have beaten Covid 19.

Just think about what that means long term. Long term illness, increased medical bills, change in quality of life.

Its not just death from this virus that we need to be worrying about.

Whoah - Gas Price under $2.00 per gallon!!

Just drove by a BJ's gas station and saw that gas was 1.98 - Have not seen gas under 2 bucks in a long time.
Too bad I filled up yesterday at $2.13
How low will gas go. People are not traveling so I suppose that this will have an impact on gas prices.

Fox Business Anchor on Hiatus After Calling Coronavirus an 'Impeachment Scam'

Fox Business Anchor on Hiatus After Calling Coronavirus an ‘Impeachment Scam’

Fox Business anchor Trish Regan’s show is on hiatus after she claimed Democrats and the media were using the coronavirus to “destroy the president.” The hiatus also extends to Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery’s show, and the network said the changes are related to staffing needs, according to Bloomberg. “Fox Business’s prime-time programs Trish Regan Primetime and Kennedy will both be on hiatus until further notice,” Fox said in a Friday statement. “Due to the demands of the evolving pandemic crisis coverage, we are deploying all resources from both shows for staffing needs during critical market hours. Fox Business will run long form programming in prime time for the foreseeable future.” Regan, who hosts “Trish Regan Primetime,” claimed the use of coronavirus by Trump’s supposed enemies was “yet another attempt to impeach the president.” A pre-recorded interview show called “Objectified” will air in place of Regan’s show.
