It's getting pretty interesting here in Europe. More and more borders closed (which was one of the founding principles of the EU), which makes sense I guess. EU president proposed a 30-day ban on internal EU travel. Rampant cases increase with the relative deaths unfortunately. UK and Sweden not doing much as of right now, but I foresee things will close in any case. Italy cases are increasing but at a lower rate - perhaps we are near the peak or just passing it. I'm sure you're reading the rest. Considering individual US States and Canadian Provinces are talking about closing internal borders, closing EU borders doesn't seem that insane.

People are now running to buy guns. And Trumpsters think it is sound advice. This nation is nuts. Y'know.... I keep wondering. How is it that every time there is yet another crisis, there are still enough Americans that don't have guns to buy a lot more? At least toilet paper gets consumed They ran out of toilet paper shitting themselves, and now need more guns to feel safe.

Quote Of The Day CNN's John Harwood, explaining why markets don't trust narcissist incompetent Donald "Moron Vector" Trump to handle the coronavirus crisis and the attendant economic downturn: Note: The Dow lost nearly 3,000 points today, roughly a 13 percent drop. hackwhackers.blogspot.com/2020/03/quote-of-day.html

Simple logic, that do not require the convoluted, inhuman arguments from GOP

I bet driveby moron think so to.
I've read the slobbering sycophantic responses from the zombies. They live in an entirely different world.
They used to ratfuck and blame Obama for the 3 different pandemics he had to deal with, but all of them were handled with professionalism and by experts. None of it caused the entire market to tank. Sure, GOP used it to gain political power. Ebola in 2014, tried to use the swineflue in 2009.
Note, in 2014 after the midterm, they suddenly stopped caring basically 1 minute past midnight. Having gain seats - they only used the pandemic for their own power politics gains. After that they had no more use of the specter of pandemics.
As as you can see from their reaction to this pandemic - unless it benefits their corporate donors, they're not on board. Oh, and please don't politicize the incompetence, of this white house, nor the dreadful unconscionable actions of GOP congress.
But, Media will surely harken back to 'both sides do it' whenever they need to fill their 24 hour of doom with something.

A reckoning is coming and it won't be in their defeat in the ballot box but in the deaths of millions to a virus they didn't take seriously and told their people not to take seriously. By the time this is over, I feel confident in saying that America will lead the world in infections and deaths and have its economy sundered in isolation as the rest of the world keeps borders firmly shut.
And somehow, they'll still be convincing their fucking sheep that these stats are just more proof that the deep state is out to get Donald Trump.

I hope we're not following behind Boris Johnson is trying. He's not trying to hide bad news from himself, he's actively searching for solutions. They might not be the best solutions, but it will be British efforts to halt the spread not saturation of the population.

The Stock Market Doesn't Suffer Morons & Fools.
It's interesting that the Obama admin. had steady market gains after Bush & Co. destroyed them. That's because the investors trusted him. Notice that every time Donald "Droolius Seizure" Trump goes on national media and lies and makes up stories the market tanks. And after his Friday, Saturday and Sunday 'Experiment in Terror' against the nation on "Live" TV, look at what happened on Monday. It dropped 2,997 points.
Meanwhile, if you read between the lines Donnie wishes he could be selling anything to do with this health crisis-not helping the people suffering from it. Every day between now and Nov. 3, 2020 he's going to pound another nail in his coffin. He's burnt toast-you can smell it!
