  1. The dumbest thing about this is it seems Trumps ridiculous thought about mainlining Lysol is going to cost tens of thousands of lives. It ended the task force press "briefings". I guess no one but Trump could run those. And the guidelines got dumped like they never existed as well.
  2. Unfortunately the 2020 baseball season will probably be a victim of the states caving to knuckleheads, and opening up early.
  3. They are disavowing a Trump administration report. You can’t make this stuff up, and he upped his death to.l to 80k to 90k. We are at almost 70k. He will revise it again.
  4. The new leaked CDC report says 3000 people a day will be dying in June. You know June, that’s when Jared says things will be getting back to normal. What a shit show.
  5. It has to start in the middle of July at the latest. I would think the latest they could get the players in training is July 1. It's going to be really tight. I am hopeful but not optimistic.
  6. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I do think Pace has to win this season. No playoffs and he is probably in a lot of trouble. So if there is a leash, it is very short. Maybe Mitch surprises. I just don’t think he has the head to be elite. Some guys, even if they aren’t the brightest, seemed wired to play QB. I don’t see it with him. For short stretches he can look really good, but then something always ruins it.
  7. They also have protection the other way. The franchise tag, if he suddenly becomes worth the money, is only about $2 million more than this option. Kyle Long said it once he was acquired, Foles is the starter. Mitch is only going to play if Foles gets hurt or sucks.
  8. Speaking of the mail, apparently Trump sent letters to people who even received their stimulus money automatically. I hope he didn’t try to rip off the USPS and paid full rate for each campaign letter, but I’m guessing probably not, probably paid the “Amazon” rate. Another hypocrite with his made in China Trump ties and shirts. Ivanka’s made in China lines. Even his buildings are constructed with Chinese steel, but he is all about America.
  9. IMO, it’s a political Hail Mary. It isn’t based on science. They know if the economy hasn’t rebounded decently by the election, Trump is done, and the many who seemed to join his cult are done as well. Jared did them no favors with his prediction things would be rocking in July. But it might have been a dog whistle to the Trumpers that now is the time. If they don’t start now, the numbers will be horrific in November. They still might and probably will be, but if somehow this works, that’s great for them. The right to lifers don’t seem to really care about older Americans and those with conditions that make them susceptible to this. It was also a Fox News edict. The funny thing is the Fox News gang can work in their office, but for some reason they are working from home. Do as I say not as I do. I do agree with Soxbadger that by June, this is going to all blow up anyway. It is already happening. In Stillwater OK, they had to rescind their mask rule in stores and restaurants because employees there were being berated and even threatened with guns for trying to enforce, and trying to stay healthy. Just blowing everything off is going to put health care workers at risk. The hospital system will implode. People will die of Covid, and people will die of others things they would have normally survived but couldn’t get the care they needed because of either the system being overtaxed or of them being afraid to go to the hospital.
  10. They just became mandatory in IL yesterday. When I went to the grocery store today 15 of the first 20 people I saw outside had no masks. Jewel now requires them to get in the grocery store. There were a couple of people that took them off once they were in a but only a couple. It was the safest I felt there in weeks. I did hear security talking as I was leaving. Some guy got in by holding his shirt over his mouth and nose and then dropped it once he was in. They did escort him out. I still don’t understand why people can’t put a mask on. They just must not give a fuck.
  11. If it’s so low how come they are preventing their people from reporting Covid 19 figures? Just like with Trump this governor is far more concerned with an outbreak of the truth vs. an outbreak of Covid 19.
  12. Vegas has them at 8.5 wins, so I believe you are exaggerating.
  13. Funny thing is they rarely wear it. I think they wore the black jerseys more than ever last year, and with the space uniforms every Sunday at home, the pinstripes and road grays have become a very rare sight.
  14. After weeks of saying 60,000 deaths would be a great job, Trump has revised that number to 100,000, and they blocked Dr. Fauci from testifying to Congress. Trump is a genius but you can’t see his grades. Trump is the healthiest President ever, but you can’t see his medical records. Trump is a billionaire but you can’t see his taxes. Trump is innocent but you can’t subpoena the witnesses. The pandemic is totally under control but you can’t talk to Dr. Fauci.
  15. It's grocery stores, drug stores. There are so many people who aren't social distancing or wearing masks.
  16. Maryland has the National Guard guarding their stockpile of Covid 19 tests they bought from South Korea in a secret location. They are afraid the Feds will take them. Jared wants the tests for his stockpile. Why are we pitting state vs. state vs fed government? This isn't the Apprentice.
  17. He doesn't even have to be attacked. He'll just make something up. The worlds biggest victim. Was born into hundreds of millions of dollars, skipped out on the war, dad paid for his degree, went bankrupt several times, and became POTUS when he had 3 million fewer votes than his opponent. The guy can't catch a break.
  18. what do you think opening restaurants at 25% capacity is going to accomplish other than make someone file for bankruptcy faster? The way they are opening these states isn't going to generate much. How do you shop at a retail store? You can't touch the clothes unless you are buying them. You can't try them on, and you can't return them. And then people will get sick and all of your sitting at home will be for naught. You have to finish the social distancing job, or it's going to get bad again.
  19. Right, but those people aren't the majority, and a lot of people who do kiss his ass, I am sure can't stand him, but chose party over country and the R, even though like the rest of Trump, is fake in his case, rules.
  20. If he were the best, he wouldn't be in this mess.
  21. In the middle of a pandemic where the death toll went over 60k yesterday, this is what Trump tweeted about: Michael Flynn CNN MSNBC Brian Williams Don Lemon Joe Scarbourough Sweden Roger Stone His poll numbers Jim Comey Hillary Clinton's campaign. My God this is insane.
  22. https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2020/04/29/florida-medical-examiners-were-releasing-coronavirus-death-data-the-state-made-them-stop/
  23. I still don't know how anyone can still predict a V shaped recovery. A large portion of these small businesses, if they opened them all up today, are going to go under. They won't get the volume of business they need until there is a vaccine IMO, it's going to be a long, slow recovery, even with all the Fed activity. It is funny, the guy Trump always seems to go after, Powell, is probably the guy Trump owes the most to in trying to fix the damage the adminstration's mistakes caused. And then there is Jared who said everything will be getting close to normal in July, during his victory lap the day the 60,000th US citizen died from this virus that the same people said was shut down months ago.
  24. Scottie Pippen told Kukoc he couldn't guard a chair.
  25. Since Trump claims to be the biggest cheerleader, he should visit the meatpacking plants he is ordering open and have a rally. No mask.
