DumpTrump20202020's JournalCOVID Is Going Up Again? Why Don't People Understand How This Works?
If only the same people complaining how they can't live their life would understand if we all did our part this would have been over..
Now with Spring Break, thousands will be leaving Florida to the other 49 states. Cases are up, some over 50% in just one week.

It's sad how sick I am of this country and the attitude we have against black/brown/poor people. And the way we bomb brown countries for decades with no resistance. In the 60s, the country blew up over one war. Now we're in multiple wars and I haven't seen an anti-war protest in a LONG time.
Injustice for one is injustice for all.... eventually. I wish people would stick out their necks for non-trendy justice.
Favorite Political Movies?
The Battle of Algiers - Anti-imperialist, with Saadi Yacef playing himself, which I found so unique. It's a great movie, that might make you cry, but might make you angry enough to try and do good for the human issues people ignore.
They Shoot Horses, Don't They? --- its more symbolic, especially the exploitation, how even the "winners" are losers. How in a rat race, even the "winner" is still a rat.. There's also the aristocracy who gets off being spectators.
Network - great flick about the media, how its trivial and full of gossip, only concerned with ratings and sponsors.
I could name many more, but I'd love to hear what you all have to say.. Cheers!
Any1 Get The First 2 Stimulus Checks, But Rejected For the 3rd?
I was expecting this badly needed check. I have no help and I'm already badly in debt I haven't been able to sleep in 36 hours.
I didn't file taxes in 2019, but got the first two.. Why is this third one excluding someone as poor as me? I don't plan on reading the entire bill, but I can't understand why people in my position won't get a dime. I was unemployed all of 2019, and sold my personal possessions, records, books, magazines, gifts, things I've collected for 20 years on Craigslist just to pay for basic bills. I haven't left my house in a long time to prevent from spending any money.
Is there some kind of legislation to help the very poor in the future. I tried calling the IRS number, and got nowhere on hold, running out of minutes. It's said that it's possible to get it next year, but I can't register on the site because of my address didn't match with what they have on file. I've lived in over 20 places (including being outright homeless) in the last 7 years.
Receiving $1,400 Stimulus Checks
If you received both, will this check also be sent automatically? Does the change from Trump to Biden change anything (having to re-apply?)
Any1 Remember Jim Traficant (D-Ohio)?
The only citizen to beat a RICO case, while defending himself (despite not being a lawyer), so of course The Feds made sure they'd get him some way or another, like unpaid farm work with his staff, which was more of a bonding experience. Jim would buy everyone beer for painting the side of his barn.
Mort Sahl (Greatest Political Humorist)
It's just a 2-minute clip, but so much is said, and it's so on-target, biting..
My favorite lefty
I Hope This Doesn't Go To The Supreme Court
I still can't believe Amy was confirmed.
We better protest like hell.
"The American People Have Spoken - All 9 of them" - Mort Sahl
in reference to the 2000 election.
Before COVID canceled all the SF theaters, events, etc., Mort Sahl had the best Trump joke... He said:
"I wonder how Trump would have handled Hitler?"
"I'd FIRE him"
Perfect!
When Will We Know The Final Results (in your estimation?)
Most sources either don't think (or have skepticism) we'll have the results by election night or the early morning of the 4th.
I really have no idea - too many different thoughts, but mostly uncertainty? I just want this to be over with.
What do you all think? I'm trying to keep up on court rulings, but I can't keep track, not to mention appeals, etc... I read states have 35 days to certify the results, but hoping not to wait that long.
