Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread
As someone who worked as a grocery store check out girl back in the day, this is a fact. I remember one woman going nuts on me because I handed her a receipt she didn't want. There were so many pissed off people who wanted to take out their life frustrations on people they knew had to take it. If you want to be overrun with the Karens of his world work at a grocery store. That was over 25 years ago, so I can only imagine what it's like now. I agree about the hazard pay too. Everyone who is working customer facing jobs should be making more right now.

Hell no. The man needs to die. I knew we wouldn't luck out and be saved by a natural death in 2020 though. As we've seen, people at this level have world class healthcare. That's ok though. Let him live to see this country kick his traitorous ass to the curb. We are going to have a huge blue wave and repudiate everything this wanna be dictator stands for. The only question is how many of his enablers and sycophants go down with him. Please God, let us take the Senate.

Two women stabbed a security guard 27 times because he told them to wear a mask. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/28/us/sisters-first-degree-murder-stabbing-security-guard-trnd/index.html

So true. We need at least a two week lockdown in the hot zones, such as the places DD mentioned. We won't get it until Biden is President. That's if we are lucky. On a related note, please everyone get your flu shot. It is really a failure of government that it isn't offered free to people without insurance this year. We are so self defeating as a nation under Trump.

Not at all. I appreciate that you thought of me and that you chat with me about my little corner of political hell. Things are getting less funny. There is only one elderly person I wish harm on and he jetted away.

It most certainly did. I posted it up thread, but yes, it made my night thinking of these CovIdiots stranded out at Eppley. It's 24 degrees out there. I hope they are freezing their asses off. I'm also thrilled that he insulted them by saying they are better off with government aid than working their farms. What isn't so funny is that there were around 10,000 people at this super spreader event. 😡 Covid is already running rampant here.

Good. I hope these Covidiots are stranded all night. And then this. What a dumb ass.

Oh yeah. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/16/2020-election-sheldon-adelson-plots-spending-spree-to-help-trump-.html That's ok. Let him throw his money away. They can't buy this election. Too much has happened and too many people are dying of Covid.

Thank you Carl. I found this one too, but if I were standing in line I think pizza would be what I'd want. https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/fuel-the-vote Looks like Pizza to the polls is legitimate. https://www.npr.org/2018/10/25/660436884/long-line-to-vote-a-pizza-delivery-service-will-send-a-pie-to-crowded-polling-pl

Speaking of voter suppression, does anyone know of a group I can donate to that provides low cost meals for people waiting in line? I'm so pissed off at what's happening I have to do something.

Yes, seeing these huge turn outs make me a believer too. Thank God. We are about to be led by two competent people capable of empathy. The last four years have felt like decades and they are going to have their hands full getting things back on track.

Exactly. Just because some of these Republicans do the decent thing every blue moon, it doesn't change who they are at heart. It's like the Lincoln Project. Yes, I'm enjoying them and the way they are screwing with the Trumpers right now. When this is over the people involved will go right back to being Republicans. It makes me cringe when political twitter hero worships any of them too much.

No one should have to jump through hoops to vote. It makes me happy that they are though. We will be dealing with these nuts for at least a decade. Trump really riled up the crazies and gave them a sense of "mission". More happy news! This actually made my night. It's the little things. 😄

Honestly. Someone on a friend's Facebook page was lamenting that there aren't any good choices. I can't with these people. There is absolutely one very good choice and anyone who can't see that is beyond all hope. The choice could hardly be more binary. How anyone who is a Democrat can bitch about Biden at this moment is beyond me.

Even his gold digging wife hates him and won't campaign for him. This clip is gold. To be clear I've watched too many soaps to hate a determined gold digger. I dare say this one has earned every penny. And she is wearing a MASK! 😂

I've always remembered you mentioning these things a few years ago, so I'm never surprised when he says crazy things. Allowing himself to be so easily compromised though, ugh. Not just in this particular situation, but all the stuff with Russia, my God. He is dumber than a box of rocks. That's the part that I find so unreal and I truly do wonder if he's gone soft in the head. Maybe he's just a $ell out.

I can't believe this is real life. I wonder if he has dementia. Seriously.

ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
I was watching Evil on Netflix and Jennifer Farrin and REG just popped up in episode 9. They are playing opposing attorneys. The show is worth watching if you like a little camp with your horror.

He didn't even really insult the guy! Saying "I knew you would ask that question" is hardly some major attack. These folks are really grabbing for any straw, but it isn't going to work this time.

^ That's for sure. Many people in Iowa who aren't farmers now are very proud of having grown up on a farm or in farm country. These two are really duking it out on the airwaves. I never hear an ad for Biden or Trump, but we get back to back radio ads for Ernst and Greenfield. Today there were three ads in a row. We get the ads from Iowa in Omaha because we are so close physically.
