America Breaking Bad

Uh-oh, looks like Randroid aPauling has tested positive after voting against a coronavirus relief just last week.
Here’s hoping he french kissed Bitch McCONnell on his way out the door on Friday.

Regardless of whatever billionaire debt-rich-quick smash ‘n grab Congress green lights to loot our country one last time, there is no way that our status quo kleptocracy can continue after this.

Absolutely no one had Total Economic Collapse on their bingo card a month ago, and the next year-ish is gonna be a total fustercluck, at the end of which:

1. We’ll have to declare a debt jubilee and end the absurd fiction that all these trillions of dollars of debt will ever be repaid, which is mathematically impossible;
2. We’ll either have to significantly revalue the dollar or introduce some kind of new currency based on hard assets;
3. The cruel, insatiably greedy sociopaths at the apex of our political, business, news, and eCONomic Ponzi scheme are finished. After 40 years of abusive attacks, lies, and treasonous thievery, they’re either gonna be removed from power peacefully via elections and regulations, or by mass protests, but either way they all have to go. Even starving, hate-crazed Tr666p-humpers can’t eat lies and sneering racism.
With any luck, the virus will do the job for us.

@¡Andrew!: Compare that to what you might have said at the end of 2008. I have no confidence that we’ll get out of this without falling into it again.

Remember, the Tea Party was born from opposition to mortgage relief. Well, that and opportunistic racism.

@nojo: At the time, I mused that we’re about to see what happens when people are too stupid to achieve class consciousness, and here we are.

Regardless, we’re in the eye of the hurricane now, and there’s about to be an unprecedented wave of bankruptcies and insolvencies after both consumers and businesses begin missing loan payments next month.

Desperate, enraged voters are gonna turn the crooks out. If nothing else, the players are going to change.

/fur babies/

Supposedly, Betsy Devoid is suspending payments for student loans. She’s just as much of a soulless liar as Prezinazi AntiChrist, so it’s not clear yet if this is true, however I’m donating my payment this month to local animal shelters. If you have any means to do so, please consider donating to help feed and house these innocents. Anything helps, FSM bless you.

@¡Andrew!: Well, there are pictures of him having lunch with the entire Rethuglican caucus on Friday, and apparently even though he’s a M.D., he went to the Senate gym this morning while awaiting his test results.

The money quote was when Tammy Duckworth was asked on CNN today if she was afraid she might have caught it from him, and she said no, because the Senate gym is not wheelchair accessible, and so she has to work out at home.

I assume he’ll forego his paid leave and health insurance, since he was the sole Senator to vote against the coronavirus relief package two weeks ago.

I don’t know tonight how we make it to January 20.

/good news/

Air pollution is down 30% – 50% as Earth begins to heal at least a little bit.
Car accidents are down 67%.
Will post more… if there are any.

IOC placed people over grift. 2020 Olympics delayed.

I don’t mean to be indelicate, but anyone who’d take medical, business, legal, moral, or ethical advice from Prezirapist AntiChrist is just a Darwin award waiting to happen.

And to think Cannibal Anarchy was once but a distant dream.

Got my tax refund check today.

Sure will cash it asap before it bounces.

@nojo:
It’s not far away in communities that believe Trump.

@ManchuCandidate: If your Yahoo email still works, you should check it. Or email me from whatever does work.

Denver now on lockdown until April 10. Spring has truly sprung!

@nojo:
I got the email

I just bought six fat joints from my local weed store while (muted) on a staff conference call.

Working “from home” could turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to me ; )-~

Man, I miss baked. I wish she coulda been with us last night. Hope she’s raisin’ hell in another reality.

U.S. Economy Grinds To Halt As Nation Realizes Money Just A Symbolic Mutually Shared Illusion

WASHINGTON—The U.S. economy ceased to function this week after unexpected existential remarks by Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke shocked Americans into realizing that money is, in fact, just a meaningless and intangible social construct.

“It’s just an illusion,” a wide-eyed Bernanke added as he removed bills from his wallet and slowly spread them out before him. “Just look at it: Meaningless pieces of paper with numbers printed on them. Worthless.”

According to witnesses, Finance Committee members sat in thunderstruck silence for several moments until Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) finally shouted out, “Oh my God, he’s right. It’s all a mirage. All of it—the money, our whole economy—it’s all a lie!”

As news of the nation’s collectively held delusion spread, the economy ground to a halt, with dumbfounded citizens everywhere walking out on their jobs as they contemplated the little green drawings of buildings and dead white men they once used to measure their adequacy and importance as human beings.

The realization that money is nothing more than an elaborate head game seems to have penetrated the entire country.”

If I get one more damn email that starts with
“Hello, our records indicate that you purchased items from WXYZ company 20 years ago. Our COVID-19 policy is…”
I’m gonna flip out.

As mentioned during the chat, I’m amazed at his ability to disgust me beyond what I’ve already acclimated myself to almost daily.
