Just Thinking…by Jamie Gray 2020-06-27T01:01:55.000Z

I’ve been watching (from lockdown) as the COVID-19 pandemic launches into an exponential growth phase, all because everyone just decided the outbreak was over…or was just a hoax. They thought it would be safe to reopen. Smart even. Good for the economy. They got that idea because leadership of our country TOLD THEM that was the truth.
It’s becoming clear it was NOT the truth. Everyone has been lied to, and now thousands are going to die who didn’t have to.
It was GREAT for the ‘the economy’ if you mean the rich people. They made millions off government handouts intended to help businesses that were in actual need, while 42,000 Americans lost their jobs and business after business closed for good because PPP funds were denied.
125,000 Americans have now died from CoronaVirus. South Korea had their first case at the same time the US did, and only 300 people died because everyone understood the importance of Social Distancing and wearing a mask. They listened to their government leaders, who had the same information from China and WHO that the US Government had and told them the right thing to do, not what was politically convenient.
You can’t blame China. American deaths aren’t China’s fault. How did South Korea manage to do such a good job with the same info from the Chinese?
No, China wasn’t the problem. But Trump has been wrong from day one, imagining the virus would magically go away. He’s been wrong about it being a hoax, a conspiracy to bring his presidency down. He’s been wrong about masks and testing and…well, everything. This pandemic is real, and people are dying who didn’t have to die. Still, the ignorant buffoon denies the science, refuses to wear a mask or admit the experts are right.
No wonder Trump doesn’t want to count the infected. Their blood is on his hands…and there’s a LOT of blood. 125,000 American souls, who should be alive today…their deaths are his fault.
His guilt is obvious.
His ignorance is blatant.
The must be a consequence for this willful ignorance and the resultant murder of American citizens by a fool elected to the highest office.
Also folks…we need to be MUCH more selective in choosing our leaders. When Joe Biden looks GREAT when compared to the alternative, our bar is pretty fucking low. I mean, I’ll vote for him, but I won’t inhale. ~jg

Nothing is OK, Mr. Trump

Trump is in over his head

Seriously. 120,000 Americans are dead. That’s how many the experts predicted would be dead in AUGUST if we did NOTHING at all…but today is only June 23rd!!!

25,000 Americans are being diagnosed with COVID-19 EACH DAY. 40+ Million Americans Are Unemployed. The economy is on the verge of breaking. Completely. We’re supposed to believe that the Stock Market going UP means everything is OK?!!

But it’s NOT OK. Not OK at ALL. Nothing is OK.

Mr. Trump, you are NOT doing a good job at ANY of this, and yet you are acting like the pandemic is over, the economy is great, and you don’t care about anything anymore…except your reelection.

You are censoring and silencing government scientists, denying the extreme health crisis exists, while watching as 1000s of Americans DIE…and for some fucking reason you are CELEBRATING your VICTORY?!?! This is NOT a VICTORY, asshole. You are FAILING HARD and people’s lives are being lost due to your ignorance.

What the ever-loving fuck is WRONG with you?!?!?

BP CEO Calls Plan to Lay Off 10,000 Workers the ‘Right Thing’

The RIGHT thing would be to strip executives of salary, bonuses and perks, using the money to keep as many jobs for as long as possible as fossil fuels are fizzling in favor of an actual future for humans…but it’s not as if anyone is living under delusions of oil companies, BP in particular, doing ‘the right thing’.

A few thoughts for the day…

Here we are. Day 100 of COVID-19 lockdown…give or take. Over 100,000 dead and growing. Suddenly no one cares. All eyes and screens are on day 8 of protests and riots, police brutality, primed by the racist killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis’ Finest. It’s also 1231 days since Donald Jerkoff Trump began destroying the government and suspending civil rights wherever it suits him. Unfortunately, Trump still matters. Making things worse is his specialty, sowing polarity and divisions between us, he has now pushed us too far, to where most of us now stand together. Together, against Trump. Against the corruption and self-serving ego driven lust for power that defines him and his revolving door goon squad.

Everything he stands for is SHIT, a fraudulent copy of the real thing that is NOTHING resembling reality. His lies and ignorance are tearing the country apart, even as they tear down our institutions of justice and government. Our very republic is in jeopardy. Our democracy is being held hostage by the lies of a dictator who thinks nothing of using our troops to threaten the rights of American citizens, but was too big a pussy to serve in the ranks himself. Too good for the armed forces, he got Daddy to pay for a doctor’s note out of Vietnam for ‘bone spurs’.

Such a Loser. I just puked in my mouth a little. But hey it’s just 152 days until we get to vote him out. Assuming we have an election. Assuming he leaves after he loses. Assuming a LOT. Meanwhile, Moscow Mitch is helping him stack the courts against liberal judges and thwart any attempt at actual social justice, as the wholly corrupt GOP clings to the Senate and Presidency, both of which are surely in play this November…no matter what bullshit you hear on TV.

You know, Trump is not wrong about some things. He’s also not right about ANYTHING. But there’s a grain of truth in his “fake news” accusations. He’s blind to the same at Fox and Friends, but ALL the networks are fucking complicit. CNN and MSNBC are almost as much a part of the problem. PPP ‘Pure Political Propaganda’ networks Fox News and OAN maybe a bit worse, but almost every bit of news we get on TV, in print, or on the Web is twisted by spin doctors looking to maximize viewers and ad revenue, rather than providing accurate reports of the actual news, the unbiased Truth, without spin. No fluff. No peacocking it to sell ad time.

You gotta search hard for true journalists. True journalism. Like Edward R Murrow. Walter Cronkite. If you can find them at all.

If it’s not facts in evidence, it isn’t news. I really don’t care what you ‘think it means’ because I can think myself. Unless you KNOW what it means, STFU. Just show the pictures and describe what you see. That’s the job.

The day I see 24 hour, Ad-Free, unbiased fact based news reporting, I will stop bitching. Until then, all you 3 Letter Networks get your shit together and stop fanning the fucking fires of division, and maybe I’ll stop using 4 Letter words about you. ~jg
