The young lady who took the video of Mr. Floyd's death is a courageous hero. But for God's sake,

PROTECT HER!
I cringed last night watching Lawrence O'Donnell say her name over and over and over, I wish her name was kept secret from the MAGAts who absolutely want to get famous for harming her.

I hope she's in some protective custody.

If you think things are bad now, wait til Chauvin is acquitted. I say that as an Angeleno and

Veteran of the Rodney King verdict and ensuing unpleasantness.

Remember Preznit Plump's warning about government statistics?

Here's an exact quote.
It was a total lie then, but amazingly on point now:
Trump repeatedly claimed during the campaign that the federal government was understating the real unemployment rate.
"Don't believe these phony numbers," Trump told supporters early last year. "The number is probably 28, 29, as high as 35 [percent]. In fact, I even heard recently 42 percent."

So, I believe that by late October, the Plump administration will be releasing statistics showing that unemployment is around 1.9%, along with CDC statistics stating that there were only 3 deaths related to Covid-19 since September.
And his leg-humpers will be blasting those numbers all over cable news and the internet, even as they trip over the bodies lying in the streets on their way to the unemployment office to beg for an extension.

Republicans are now Pro-Life and Pro-Death at the same time. And they don't see any disconnect.

There's no reaching these folks.
Everything we have in our power must be concentrated on the 5 or so states that will determine the outcome in the Electoral College.
And the first thing we need to do if we regain power, is to pass laws EVERY SINGLE DAY if necessary to ensure voting rights, VOTING RIGHTS, these are more crucial to ensure the continuation of a reasonable society than anything else. Without voting rights for EVERY CITIZEN, nothing else can happen, health care, the economy, civil rights, everything takes a back seat or we'll continue to struggle.

I propose HUGE mandatory prison terms for anyone found guilty of preventing a citizen from voting, the only thing right winger racists will ever understand is losing their freedom to run around being right wing racists!

Trump is not sick. Pence is not sick. Barr is not sick. Giuliani is not sick. Hannity is not sick.

PUTIN is not sick.
Kim Jong Un is not sick.
Xi is not sick.
Ali Khamenei is not sick.
Al-Assad is not sick.
Erdogan is not sick.
Maduro is not sick.
Duterte is not sick.
Bolsonaro is not sick.
Saudi royals are not sick.
Don Jr. is not sick.
Jaranka are not sick.

And plenty more. What are the freaking odds?

I'm not a scientist but it looks like being a gigantic flaming asshole provides a shield of protection that even Coronavirus can't penetrate.

had to add this, forgot how literal people are around here
