The Beast

Very sad indeed. He served his country, which is admirable.

Saying something on accident is one thing, believing and saying things consistently is another thing. Joe has some issues, but he will have a stronger administration than Trump does. Tell me Nostradamus, how do you know Biden will lose? How was him winning the primary worse than any of the others winning?

I wouldn’t say Biden is an idiot, but I would like to see more legitimate choices without money in politics. Ending Citizens United would be a good start. There’s too much power concentrated in two parties, making independent moderates like me having to have a binary choice - for or against Trump. Instead of picking someone like Buttigieg or another moderate.

And his supporters say sleepy Joe is the one who has lost it?

Stores will put limits on food to stop hoarding.

Dan Bernstein put it the best. “Listen to doctors and only listen to people who listen to doctors.” The President should take to that advice instead of being on the wrong side of history with not dealing with facts and sending mixed messages.

Originally there was hoarding before stores put limits on it. People panicked and overbought.

So what are the solutions?

Take it a day at a time and stop reading about what could happen. When the science starts directing things to open, it will. With the exception of the homeless or those going to food shelters, how could there be food shortages with how things are right now?

Buy a bandana and two hair ties. There are videos out there to assemble and voila, you have a mask.

How awful. I wish him the best in this battle and hope he beats it. He posted a video with his son today and he seems to be a very nice guy. I’ll probably go up the dial for his show instead of the jokers on 670 during the afternoons.

Okay, so this is off topic but Paniagua’s name prompted some research. There was a game the Sox played against the Cardinals where a Sox pitcher came in relief and pitched. Then he was taken out of the game after the inning because there were threats against him. Does this ring a bell with anyone? It happened in the 00s but I can’t find the name. My song to enter from the bullpen? Has to be “Enter Sandman.” Up to the plate? “For Those About to Rock.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/20/podcasts/the-daily/coronavirus-how-long-lockdowns.html I heard this interview today. It’s relatively short and was interesting, if not depressing if true.

Not a lot of people are wearing masks to stores either. And I heard that some people think 5G is causing the Coronavirus. Oh brother. Complete rubbish: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/52168096https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/52168096

https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-nw-coronavirus-protesters-trump-20200417-7oad7qhicrc53eywjaclwdsaoq-story.html I didn’t realize there were more groups than just the small protest in Michigan. Interesting how the protests aren’t just in battleground states too.

Me too! Lol the fuhrer.

That article of extremely well done and covers a number of angles. Thanks for sharing.

Here is the ad I referenced before.

Can you give me a recap of what I missed? I heard something about how he ripped Pelosi, said something about China and shared a propaganda video. Are the governors of the coasts forming coalitions to re-open when they want to instead of when he says to?

His actions or lack of action needs to get amplified as the General Election approaches. Evidently there is an ad being run in several states about how his administration’s lack of action allowed cases to climb.

I made one out of a bandana and two of my wife’s hair bands. That seems to work just fine. I wear it out to the stores but I don’t wear it when I go run outside though.

If you are both journalists, I would love to read some of each of your work. Journalism was a profession I considered but got scared off of because my school wasn’t prestigious enough and I was scared of job outlook and salary. That being said, I have thought of writing again and I do love volunteering for political campaigns. Does anyone else work in media or for political organizations?

?

Bingo. The two Fox News heads at my small office spew the crap they heard from their favorite Fox News personalities and if I hear a claim from one of them, I ask where they got that from. They look at me oddly and say Fox or they say, “I don’t know where I read it.” So it is, “I don’t agree with what you are saying, so it’s fake.” I read and watch CNN, listen to NPR, Pod Save America, listen to C-Span when there is something going on in the courts or on the house or senate floors, read the Bulwark, National Review, the Chicago Tribune, Fox News, listen to the Chicago Way and the Pulpit (a podcast with a former legislator and mayor of Downers Grove). So I’d like to think I get varied news and can say I think from a more moderate perspective.
