Sandbox – 5may20

05 May 2020

[Feliz Cinco de Mayo compadres! And re Corona beer about which you've all heard the story? You haven't? Well, they had a big international beer judging competition in Munich to which all the major and wannabe brewers sent their various brews for judging and receiving the prestigious awards. The Corona folks also sent their finest. A couple of weeks passed and when the award ceremonies were over, the Corona folks had heard nothing, not even an email acknowledging their entry. So they inquired, and the next day they got a reply from a German vet in Munich that read 'I was forwarded the specimen you submitted, and am sorry to inform you that your horse has diabetes.' ;-) gjr]

Well, kiss my ass and pass the ammo.
‘Lockdown is over. Someone tell the government’
“Americans want to do whatever they feel like doing: what else are natural rights for?”
“The coronavirus shutdown is over by public demand. There are crowds of sunbathers in the parks of New York City and mobs on the steps of the statehouses. Pedestrian and road traffic are rising and businesses are defying orders by informally reopening. The people are speaking — the people who used to work on a hand-to-mouth economy, the people who cannot afford to stay indoors indefinitely, the people who cannot be bothered to stay in when the sun comes out.
These people are not all the people. They are not the doctors, who counsel caution. They are not the state governors, who are terrified of votes being washed away by a post-reopening second wave of casualties. They are not state employees, who can trust that their jobs will be waiting for them. They are not the service corps the digital economy, who were work-from-home losers until coronavirus made them winners. But they are numerous enough, and desperate or casual enough, to constitute a critical mass.“

Daily Quotes and maybe a meme on Cinco de Mayo. I heard Cinco de Mayo was about as crowded as St. Patrick’s Day……..
Insight (and irony): “The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.” —Chinese proverb
Observations: “The Wuhan virus has introduced a new and unpredictable issue into the campaign: the administration’s response to the epidemic. This should be seen as Act III in the Democrats’ determined effort to take out Donald Trump. Act I was the [Russia-collusion] hoax. Act II was the Ukraine kerfuffle. Both failed, and it looked as though the Democrats had nothing left. But now, their press minions are launching daily attacks on the president related to the virus. Act III.” —John Hinderaker
Coincidence? “On January 3, [2017] Chuck Schumer … says this in response to a statement that President-elect Trump had said, where he said we were being spied on, Schumer says if you mess with the intel community, ‘They have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.’ The very next day, January 4 … Peter Strzok overrules the agents who say Michael Flynn did nothing wrong.” —Rep. Jim Jordan
Alpha jackass: “It is time for Samaritan’s Purse to leave NYC. This group, led by the notoriously bigoted, hate-spewing Franklin Graham, came at a time when our city couldn’t in good conscience turn away any offer of help. That time has passed. Their continued presence here is an affront to our values of inclusion, and is painful for all New Yorkers who care deeply about the LGBTQ community.” —New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson
Braying jenny: “A lot of our folks didn’t vote. It was almost like a slap in the face. … I understand the people who voted for Trump. The people who didn’t vote at all — the young people, the women — that’s when you think, ‘Man, people think this is a game.’ … It wasn’t just in [2016]. Every midterm. Every time Barack didn’t get the Congress he needed, that was because our folks didn’t show up. After all that work, they just couldn’t be bothered to vote at all. That’s my trauma.” —Michelle Obama
Non compos mentis: “We need to cancel rent and cancel mortgages for the duration of this crisis.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders
And last… “Per capita, the six countries most impacted by COVID-19 on planet earth are European nations with government-run healthcare systems. Another bragging point for socialism.” —Erick Erickson

Mr. Kunstler speaks:
“Spring is popping now with a ferocious energy that can only remind the sullenly sequestered masses that life is going on without them. Every living thing is busy making-and-doing out there, except the poor humans, idled without work or purpose. That won’t last long. People don’t submit automatically to zombification when some pissant bureaucrats issue them $1200 checks. They yearn to bust out like everything else on this living planet. And if they can’t do it in a good way, well….
The mega-machine we constructed to drive this society has sucked a valve and thrown a rod. The machine is broken, no matter how much more fuel the mechanics pump in. (One suspects somebody may have topped it off with Karo syrup.) Anyway, the machine got too big and too complex, with too many extraneous bells and whistles, and with way too much computerized cybernetic control built-in, so the mechanics barely noticed it was coming apart (they were too busy partying). That big machine is smoldering in a ditch for the moment. The dazed and bloodied passengers realize that the ride is over, and now they must march on to get somewhere, anywhere, away from this miserable ditch and the wreckage in it. The fine spring weather is their only consolation.
And so here we are at a fraught moment in the convergent crises of corona virus and the foundering economic system that it infected, with all its frightful pre-existing conditions. Of course, it isn’t capitalism, so-called, that is failing, but the perversions of capitalism, starting with the appendage of the troublesome term: ism. It isn’t a religion, or even a pseudo-religion like Zoroastrianism or communism. It’s simply the management system for surplus wealth. In a hyper-complex society, the management of wealth naturally grows hyper-complex, too, with lavish opportunities and temptations for chicanery, cheating, fraud, and swindling (the perversions of capital). It’s in the interest of the managers to cloak all that hyper-complex perversity in opaque language, to make it seem okay.

And the ChiComs did what they could to cover up and lie about what was going on to the detriment of the safety of the rest of the world.
If it did escape the lab – and there is much evidence that it did – then the Chinese govt is liable for damages to the rest of the world.

They are never going to be able to thread that needle –
Progressive Policy Institute’s (PPI) Dane Stangler admits in an op-ed for Real Clear Policy that President Trump’s immigration agenda to decrease foreign competition against America’s working and middle class is popular with voters.
Stangler, PPI’s Director of Policy Innovations, suggested in the op-ed that Democrats, including Joe Biden, are in a bind on the issue as the Chinese coronavirus crisis has led to overwhelming support among Americans for pauses to all immigration
Politically, the restrictions are fairly deft and put Democrats in a bind. What is former vice-president Joe Biden, the presumptive nominee, supposed to say? What are any Democratic candidates for Senate supposed to say? They can criticize the restrictions all they want but, so far, Trump’s immigration “pause” appears to have support.
…
Any calls by Democrats to reopen the borders will be fairly unpopular. They would be met with inflammatory social media activity.

This would align with the results of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation — which found no evidence of illegal or criminal coordination between President Trump, the Trump campaign and Russia in 2016 — but the numerous transcribed interviews could raise further questions about committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s past statements saying that there was “direct evidence” of collusion.

Does The Washington Post want to take back that they told Americans to get a grip, the flu is bigger than the coronavirus? Does The Washington Post likewise want to take back that our brains are causing us to exaggerate the threat of the coronavirus? Does The New York Times want to take back that fear of the virus maybe spreading faster of than the virus itself? Does NPR want to take back that the flu was a much bigger threat than the coronavirus? And finally once again The Washington Post, would they like to take back that the government should not respond aggressively to the coronavirus?”
“I’ll leave you with those questions and maybe you’ll have some answers in a few days,” McEnany concluded. “Thank you very much.”

Joe Biden is Da Man to handle SARS 2.0 #19? “Clean up the mess Biden made”
‘Top Adviser to Joe Biden Admitted Obama and Biden Botched the H1N1 Response’
“In the midst of the global coronavirus pandemic, Joe Biden has tried to present himself as the candidate best equipped to manage a crisis, but, as history has shown, he is perhaps the worst.
You only need to go back 11 years to see how the Obama-Biden administration handled the H1N1 (swine flu) pandemic to see that. Biden himself was responsible for sending mixed messages, particularly during an appearance on the “Today” show on NBC when he said he’d tell his family not to fly on planes or ride the subway.
“I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places right now,” Biden explained. “It’s not that it’s going to Mexico, it’s that you are in a confined aircraft. When one person sneezes, it goes everywhere through the aircraft.” As Politico noted, the Obama administration was forced to “clean up the mess Biden made” because he’d contradicted Obama’s reassurances that there was no need to panic. Biden was actually probably right, though. According to the CDC, the H1N1 virus would go on to infect nearly 61 million Americans, and Ron Klain, who was Biden’s chief of staff at the time and is currently advising his campaign, says it was mere luck that H1N1 wasn’t more deadly.
Did Obama Botch the Response to the H1N1 Outbreak? Here’s What the Media Isn’t Telling You
“It is purely a fortuity that this isn’t one of the great mass casualty events in American history,” Klain said of H1N1 in 2019. “It had nothing to do with us doing anything right. It just had to do with luck. If anyone thinks that this can’t happen again, they don’t have to go back to 1918, they just have to go back to 2009, 2010, and imagine a virus with a different lethality, and you can just do the math on that.”

Those suicide vests ain’t cheap, and there has to be funds to pay the families of the suckers that put them on.
Now that I think about it, ever since Trump gave the high hard one to the Palestinians,, attacks on Isrial are way down.
Looks like Biden misses the carnage.

Administrivia: genitalia comments – I don’t like them nor do I want see any more of them in these comment streams. Don’t yet know how to handle them, but I will try different approaches to those who want to challenge me on this. So if your comments disappear or don’t appear, it’s no always Typepad’s fault.

Funds Should Be Contingent Upon Reforms? Well, call that idea DOA. Dead as our resident flamer looks. Boom, boom, out goes the lights. Reforms? Surely you jest. Wishful thinking.
‘Conservatives Create New Bailout Model: Want Money? Fix Your University’
Any tax-funded bailouts for higher ed need to be contingent upon urgent structural reforms, and a new paper from the National Association of Scholars provides the blueprint.

Breaking: Dallas salon owner Shelley Luther ordered released from jail
“Dallas Judge Eric Moye stated that he would not sentence Luther to jail if she apologized, admitted she had been “selfish,” and promised not to reopen her salon until permitted by executive order, but Luther refused these conditions.
“The Supreme Court of Texas has ordered Dallas salon owner Shelley Luther to be released from jail. Luther was charged with contempt of court for violating a restraining order which directed to stay at home when she refused to close down her salon during the coronavirus pandemic. According to the order, Luther is being released pending a hearing before the Texas Supreme Court on Monday”………
“I have much respect for this court and laws,” Luther told the judge on Tuesday. “I have never been in this position before and it’s not some place that I want to be. But I have to disagree with you, sir, when you say that I’m selfish — because feeding my kids is not selfish.”
A GoFundMe campaign was started for the salon and has raised over $500,000.

To ride Bill’s coat tails,

No surprise a LIB judge would throw her in jail for not apologizing for opening up shop,, while the same judge ordered the release of REAL criminals.
I get a feeling there is a recall in that judge’s near future.

George: are you familiar with the use of double entendre? You neglected to delete FishTrolls 426pm. None of my posts were obscene. I only posted political cartoons by others.
The FishTroll has issues with the nether regions of others and has previously been obsessed the imagined incontinence of others. Now he has taken to trying to smear my posts with his fecal brand of humor.
As We all know, gun obessions have long been associated with male anatomy shortcomings.
And, of course, large pickup trucks have also been associated inversely with genitalia size.
We all know FishTroll is a gun lover. He may also own a large pickup.
Here are some examples from our Commander-in-Chief,
Republicans own the “childish space”.
“Trump referred to Rubio’s jibe with a crude sexual reference of his own. Holding his hands up for the audience to see, Trump said: “He referred to my hands – if they’re small, something else must be small. I guarantee you, there’s no problem. I guarantee you.”
“As Donald Trump was insisting during a speech in Maine on Thursday that Mitt Romney would have “dropped to his knees” to win the real estate mogul’s endorsement in 2012 , Austin Barbour tweeted this bit of praise of the former Massachusetts governor.”
“Trump’s Sunday morning tweet, in full: “So funny to see little Adam Schitt (D-CA) talking about the fact that Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker was not approved by the Senate, but not mentioning the fact that Bob Mueller (who is highly conflicted) was not approved by the Senate!”

Yes, Mary – we ALL know you leftys have no rational arguments against lawful fire arm ownership and so constantly you resort to infantile ridicule involving male genitalia.
And we ALL know this is nothing more than what folks in the field of psychiatry call ‘projection’.
It’s interesting to see that you try to defend your humor by comparing it (wrongly in some cases) to a man you openly despise.

Per usual – change the subject.
Ah, what a waste of all that popcorn.
Remember how excited the crack KVMR cub news reporter was about “flipper Flynn” and the impending doom of the evil orange Satan?
I wonder how many boxes of popcorn past their ‘sell by’ dates haves shown up in the donations bin at the local food bank?

Yup,, Emery needs to issue a YUGE apology.
And none of ‘It was the public news I was using”. SCREW THAT!!
Most of us didn’t buy it from the start, and we got listened to the same line of lies.
Now the DNC needs to (and should) cover all the costs of the political witch hunt trying to take down Trump. It was purely a political stunt. There WAS NO EVIDENCE from the start. So they pissed away millions of taxpayer money trying.
Maybe Emery ( the eagle eye on the FED expenditures) should
speak up about that big waste of money,,, by his own beloved side.
