Trump doctor says he tried to sneak vegetables into president’s diet and hide his ice cream

At least someone's doing something about the expansion of the executive.

There's a part of me that it's somewhat rational that wants this whole thing to end and go back to normal and then there's the spectator in me that thinks the show must go on.

That's nice. He intends to break the law, which he just signed, because he didn't like that part. That's a real swell president you got there, Ant.

Eh, I'll be getting some moolah one way or the other. If he screws up and steps out of line in regards to the promised oversight on this and gets nailed, that's his problem. Sayonara Trumpski. :laughing:

Cases of the novel coronavirus in Chile have climbed past 7,500, including 82 deaths, while over 2,300 have recovered from infection as of Tuesday, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

But coronavirus patients in Chile who have died are being counted among the country's recovered population because they are "no longer contagious," Chile's Health Minister Jaime Mañalich said this week.

"We have 898 patients who are no longer contagious, who are not a source of contagion for others and we include them as recovered. These are the people who have completed 14 days of diagnosis or who unfortunately have passed away," Mañalich announced at a press conference.

The words are "Humans are ****ing stupid and not fit to run societies with the level of population and complexity which they have created."

Or it's like the human race has become a Lovecraftian chimera that is both beautiful and hideous in its bloated excess from tree dwelling poo flingers to incompetent world burners but the days of reckoning and horror are proceeding expeditiously.

So much for letting prisoners loose cause of Corona:

Quote:

A Florida inmate who was released from jail because of impending concerns nationwide over the spread of coronavirus in correctional facilities is accused of murder.

Joseph Edward Williams, 26, was initially released last month – along with more than 100 other inmates – in order to limit the spread of coronavirus among incarcerated people. He was initially arrested on assorted drug charges, including possession of heroin, according to a statement by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

But a day after his release, an unidentified man was shot and killed, and authorities allege that Williams was involved in his death. Williams was arrested the same day and is facing charges of second-degree murder, possession of firearms, heroin and drug paraphernalia as a felon, as well as resisting an officer with violence, per the sheriff's office.

Florida man strikes again.

OccultHawk 04-17-2020 06:28 AM

Saw that story about a man who killed one person and the rush to get him in jail. But did the man have a bullet that multiples inside you and then shoots another person and repeats the process indefinitely and exponentially? Nope. Those people are casually walking down the street because freedom.

jwb 04-17-2020 06:54 AM

This virus has gotten you (more) hysterical.

In any case I won't be surprised if they seize the opportunity to seal up the prisons and let them serve as an industrial sized petri dish.

I have a friend who is actually hoping that they quit letting people out cause he has an upcoming court date and "the more people they let out the more room they have for me."

It's funny because they've been trying to this whole time.

He's not talking about getting you more money, he's talking about forcing you to work during a pandemic.

Dude. When your typical American can’t even STAY THE **** INSIDE on their own of course I’m going to have to go back to work. You can’t pretend to take it seriously and then be like well gee I can’t skip my daily jog. Even in NYC people are out doing whatever. ****ing walking around. Nobody will sacrifice anything. People have made it perfectly clear they don’t care if it spreads. So the natural response is go back to “normal” and pretend it isn’t out there. We’re a whole nation (whole world even) of self-serving Trumps. If you want the government to take a certain course of action who have to behave in a way that’s in accordance with what you want. The people have spoken. They’ve said yeah you should stay home but if you’re not it’s cool. So what if you’re potentially spreading a pathogen that is this contagious and dangerous?

OccultHawk 04-17-2020 11:13 AM

Most of them don't even live in the districts they supposedly represent. They actually are on vacation somewhere (usually) if they aren't convening in Washington to raise money or pass legislation they don't read.
