Why Vote-by-Mail is evil.
“The president said it best ― this will be extremely devastating to Republicans and conservatives in Georgia,” said Ralston [Republican speaker of the Georgia state House].
Well- the founders were never about everyone voting.
Conservatives must know that women voting was the end of everything
One of the world's smallest clubs is People Capable of Skippering a U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier. Captain Brett Crozier has been relieved of his post as commanding officer of the USS Theodore Roosevelt after his report about the COVID-19 outbreak on the ship became public.
At this website, you can compare different states. If you hover over the line, you can see rates of increase for previous day, previous week, and the full series.
Confirmed cases in Colorado, you can see that the rate has decreased from 23% to 13% (previous week). By the "rule of 72 for doubling: 72/rate = days to double), 13% is a doubling every 5.5 days, down from doubling every 3 days for the whole time period.
Deaths are a trailing indicator by as much as a couple weeks. Here, Colorado is still showing the doubling every 3 days.
This other website from the State of Colorado is a model of transparency. It presents some great graphical displays. The data is claimed to be carefully vetted, but trails a day.
In particular, look at the graph of Hospitalizations, Deaths and Cases about 2/3 of the way down. You can see how severely COVID-19 is hitting the elderly. Also, women are a few more percentage in terms of getting the virus, but deaths are 60/40 against men.
When do ip admissions peak in the front range?
Different models have different estimates. The ones I've paid most attention to say peak is going to be mid-April (17th) to mid-June, depending on their assumptions about how effective the "shelter in place" order is followed. The later peak assumes strict compliance for 3 months (April-May-June), and the "peak" is pretty low — and certainly below Colorado medical capacity.
Kushner gaslighting just like daddy-in-law does:
“We’ve done things that the federal government has never done before, quicker than they’ve ever done it before”
Closer to the truth, there are two alternative corrections:
1) “We’ve done things that the federal government has never done before, quicker than they’ve never done it before”
2) “We’ve done things that the federal government has never done before, slower than they’ve never done it before”
Even closer:
“We’ve done things that the federal government has never done before”
“We’ve sowed more self-congratulatory confusion, nonsense, and obfuscation, and also created substantianlly more lying BS, quicker than any previous American administration ever dreamt possible, in their wildest, wild imaginings.”
More good stuff from that the TtumpKushnocracy has done for America, that had never been done before . . .
. . . maybe it was a tariff thing?
RIP Bill Withers.
Oh, man..what a drag.
Rest in peace .
I hardly ever hear a night’s set anywhere (BC), that doesn’t include at least one of his greats.
Where’s Mike Bloomberg? Billionaire Bails After Vanity Run Ends.

Same as it ever was
You’d be holed up on your own private island, right now, too . . .
Can I piss you off today? Let me tell you about the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). As a sole employee CPA I will qualify for about $21,000 of tax-free money. Because.
For real businesses, they will get tax-free money to pay their employees for 8 weeks. This will benefit the owners to the tune of about 25% of the amount they pay their employees. And, they will also get an additional $21,000 or so tax-free benefit.
Just thought you'd like to know how this boondoggle is going down. I intend to donate most of my windfall to a food bank.
OMG! Can you provide a link so we can share widely?
Go to Treasury.gov for the application. Contact your bank, assuming they are a SBA lender, to submit the application. It's a cluster fuck at the moment where there is no bank, to my knowledge, who is ready to actually accept and submit applications to the SBA. It's concerning because there is "only" $349 billion in the program, and it's first come, first served.
Not Colorado, but almost unbelievable. Read the whole thing.

"If you spent less time on your ridiculous impeachment hoax, which went haplessly on forever and ended up going nowhere (except increasing my poll numbers), and instead focused on helping the people of New York, then New York would not have been so completely unprepared for the “invisible enemy.” No wonder AOC and others are thinking about running against you in the primary. If they did, they would likely win."
Isn't it obvious that Trump is burnishing his reputation as a statesman without peer for all posterity?
FREEDUMB!! is under attack. Just how exactly are my constitutional rights under attack by letting the legislature complete its work during a national emergency?
When is the deadline for someone to declare their candidacy in a Republican primary?
Would have been a bigger April Fool's joke if he'd credited SCOTUS or dump.
But Brophy is a small thinker. NRA lobbyist?!?!??!!?!?!?! Lower than a tapeworm.
Clearly that’s a constitutionally mandated discretionary power, reserved solely for a President’s idiot son-in-law . . .
…and Nutter's AG.

Oofa. I'd say that Brophy is dumb as dog shit, but that would be an unconscionable insult to the substance my dogs deposit on the ground during their morning walks.
