I baked bread yesterday and it is delish. I also went to Giant. I might return this morning since I forgot to ad a few things to my list.
Gallup put a little bit of a wake-up call for America yesterday. A very large % of Americans are concerned about their health and going back to work too soon. The Idiot Jerk in the White House? His ratings are continuing to slide. Only 34% of Americans think he, and his administration, are handling this crisis well. His allies know this is how you lose an election very badly. This is why the Republicans are jumping on the "we need to go back to work" bandwagon. Since he has already failed at handling the Covid - 19 pandemic, the Idiot Jerk needs a robust economy. He needs something to point to in order to crow "look what I've done." What they've actually done is choose to sacrifice lives in order to try and kick start the economy. They believe your average American will say, "it was worth Grampa's life to get the Idiot Jerk re-elected." That's what this is all about. Republicans are going to sacrifice human beings in an attempt to get the Idiot Jerk another 4 years in the White House. Starting today, if you live in Georgia, you can get a tattoo, or your hair cut. Think about that. How often does your barber, or your stylist touch your head? And if they're wearing gloves, keep in mind that latex does not kill Covid - 19. The infection rate in Georgia is still climbing, it has not peaked. Republicans see that as rather unimportant. It's okay if people get sick and die as long as a segment of the population can back to spending money.
Finally, I thought I'd share something a little lighter, a bit more amusing. Here's Lily yesterday afternoon with a T-Rex in her mouth.
Squeak, squeak.
"play with me, daddy!"
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE the dump is losing senior support; the muthafucka wants us DEAD!
He's losing support all over the place which is why he's resorting to variations of his 2016 playbook to try and hold onto his base.
DeleteThese GOP governors are, in effect, throwing themselves on their swords for ____ because when they reopen, and the number of new cases and deaths soar, ____ will blame them.
ReplyDeleteIn the end, the Idiot jerk is going to kill off his base.
DeleteTime will tell. When winter comes and these states are on their second lock down and it is left for Joe to fix, it will be interesting to hear what people say.
ReplyDeleteYou're so right. My money says we will not be hearing a lot of Republican opposition.
DeleteAwww she’s so cute! And she gives you the ‘this is my Dino’ look! LoL
ReplyDeleteAs for the repugs following Cheeto’s lead on opening the country must be voted out. Really. It’s a death sentence. They are also doing it because the people being singled out to go back to work are disposable to them: poor and brown or black. The repugs also fear their state’s unemployment is going through the roof and they’ll run out of money. Taxes cannot go up cause they’ll be in trouble.
It’s a clusterfuck, so that percentage of approval is still way too high.
XoXo
In case you didn't know, Lily is a terrible tease.
DeleteI don't know if you saw, but Senior Citizens are running away from the Idiot Jerk, and they are a very major voting block.
Oh my, when (not if) this opening up the economy to the likes of essential tattoo artists provokes another outbreak I can only begin to imagine the backlash!
ReplyDeleteThey are not even thinking that far ahead and, as Bob said, that's when he'll start blaming the governors.
DeleteLol cute... Lily vs t-rex. :D
ReplyDeleteI wonder how popular dump will be with bodies piled up everywhere. How well will the businesses run with everyone sick and dying. I get the feeling they are opening up the floodgates now in hopes all the funerals will be over by election time.
She is a sweetie, isn't she?
DeleteI suspect the funerals will begin in 4 - 5 weeks.
Loved the doggie video. Murphy does the same thing. I wonder what happens if Republican big wigs get the virus and some die. Will they change their tune or is it just a "sacrifice" to them?
ReplyDeletethe dogs are real hams when it comes to pictures and vids.
DeleteI'm sure all the big wigs are living in decontaminated bubbles whenever they aren't on camera.
