So I went to Walmart yesterday for some groceries and TP. The TP isle was completely barren. I sent the picture to my dad, who happens to be completely brainwashed by Fox News and a former Democrat. He was adamant that I sent him a fake picture. I had to explain that I took the picture myself..
Fox News is a hell of a drug. Everything is fake news if they aren't reporting it.

Its hard to see how exactly people were comparing Biden's and Hillary's chances. Just talking to people every day you could tell there was this insidious and gross hate for Hillary that was either always prevalent, or always waiting for some justification to exist (like when the Comey letter probably swung a decent amount of people). Biden has the Obama connections, he's male... I mean to Americans in general he's a comparatively super easy pill to swallow.
I'm sorry about the circumstances, but I am glad to hear there are people looking out for your son.
ND primary results may not be available until Wednesday
Sending virtual hugs to you and your family!
Here's an extremely cynical take: Don't trust white suburban women.
Extremely sorry to hear that.
Can he tariff oil? Because lol
All the reporting points to the US arrogantly waving off the WHO test kits to develop their own, then producing flawed kits.
Y'know what else reduces gas costs? Letting your 10yo daughter hitchhike to school.
The US president is a direct threat to the health of US citizens at the moment. Just pointing that out.
Fuck this twat. Every other world leader is taking this seriously and this moron is actively pushing fringe nonsense.
My parents were repeating this Fox News shit on Saturday when we spoke about the Coronavirus. They went through the gamut of everything. It's overblown and not as bad as the flu. It'll be better in summer. Oh, and it might have been made in a lab by the Chinese government!
They just wouldn't accept anything else.
Trump in one week:
"Coronavirus only has killed a hundred people... totally not as bad as the flu! Economy totally fine as well it's the Russians and Arabians!"
You say that, but 2018 happened because of that voting population, wasn't it?
The worst people in American politics decided to pick a fight with the WHO in the middle of this outbreak and people were cheering for this, even though it's just the same old "UN GONNA PUT US IN FEMA CAMPS" garbage.
You may also want to consider the direct effects of coronavirus, because we are also disadvantaged there. Of Democratic senators older than 70 years of age, 7 are currently in seats where a Republican would appoint their replacement: (Warren 70, Manchin 72, Shaheen and Markey 73, Cardin 76, Sanders 78, Leahy 79).
Whereas on the GOP side, only one senator over 70 holds a seat in a state with a democratic governor: (Roberts, 83).
It is morbid but not at all far-fetched to anticipate how this disadvantage might come into play, as well as with the Supreme Court.
My precious stock market!
Yes, but that's my point. Trump pissed them off pretty badly. So you can't expect them to stay once he's gone.
Meh, we've got veto-proof majorities in all those senators' states except for Shaheen and Manchin.
Like, not to be glib, I just couldn't anticipate this being a problem.
edit: I said "filibuster" when I meant to say "veto" god how embarrassing

The worst part about this is that Bernie will get trashed, and still stick around for the debate and use it to try to beat on Biden than stay in to promote his ideas and dunk on Trump.
I am pretty sure they have shown Trump pictures of what systemic health care failure looks like, but I don't think he groks it at all. Once hospitals are overwhelmed people start dying of all kinds of things, not just coronavirus.
On the bright side, with the markets collapsing, nCoV-19 spreading and Biden's smashing victory on Tuesday nobody's gonna tune in.
I mean...if the results are like this then he really needs to stop this shit.

“Breaking: Jurors in the trial of Josh Schulte, accused of giving CIA hacking tools to Wikileaks, fail to reach a verdict on those charges. Schulte guilty of false statements to investigators and contempt of court. Big blow to government's case. Story soon.”

“Here's our story. Jurors had told the judge that they were "extremely deadlocked" on most charges, including the core of the case--that Schulte took CIA hacking tools and gave them to Wikileaks. Jurors had been deliberating since last week. https://t.co/sRVePxnRdO”

Yup, had the same thing yesterday with mine. Some gaslighting bullshit.
Bernie might get eviscerated tomorrow night.
Because he was an insurgent vs. a known quantity. Also people didn't like Hill. Completely different situation this time around.
This just bummed me out. We need to protect this woman at all costs.
Just speaks to Biden's likeability and strength as a candidate.
I'm talking about his genitalia.
I don't know why "it was made in a lab by the Chinese" is supposed to offer any comfort. Whether or not it might kill you doesn't depend on where it comes from!
Yeah I have no clue. The Chinese unleashing planned biological warfare upon the world would be pretty fucking terrifying.
It's also about preparedness. We expect a relatively stable amount of flu cases each year, so we plan for it. If we suddenly had a big spike in flu, we wouldn't have the staff or resources to deal with that increase past a certain point. That's the problem really. We aren't prepared for this, as we are the seasonal flu each year.
this is a joke right? That's what McCain said at the start of the 2008 crash
whether it's true or not, I can't believe someone would reuse that wording with a straight face
