Over 1 million viewers dropped out of Fox News when John Lewis’s funeral started. That’s disappointingly startling.

What FB has taught me is that 80% of my high school classmates are just as racist as they were in 1974. White boomers don't evolve much.

Some good Government news, Virginia is making moves against pay day loans to balance need with lender abuse. This is a step, but I am also afraid that it is hardly enough as it seems to have an ideal that this is just a bridge loan but the rate of 36% (0.69% weekly) plus a monthly service fee still seems problematic for those taking loans. It turns out that the current average annual Virginia rates today are 251% for payday loans and 217% for title loans. The title loans also help account for Virginia's leadership in vehicle repossession. I am just hopeful that this is the first step in realignment of a broken system that finishes its arc with a living wage relegating these loans to emergency situations.

Can someone give me some idea of what this proposed M&A tax is that Trump is proposing? How much is "significant" and is it like a tariff where the acquirer pays on top of the negotiated price? This seems to be a very anti-republican idea.

I have been wanting to watch that full interview since I first heard about it (last week maybe?) but I have held off thinking that it is only going to make me want to stick a red-hot fire iron in my eye.

Devastating polls released this morning by Morning Consult. In 4 statewide polls Biden only leads in one. He's up 1 in Texas but trails in SC by 5, AL by 22 and KY by 24. Blue Wave? More like a Blue Drip.

Is there a path to victory for Biden if he doesn’t win Alabama?

HBO was nice enough to put the complete interview on YouTube.

Swan: Do you find John Lewis impressive?

Trump: I can't say one way or the other... but, no, he didn't come to my inauguration. He didn't come to my SOTU speeches, and that's ok... And again, nobody has done more for Black Americans than I have.

I'm dead lol

TRUMP: Other countries don’t test like we do, so they don’t show cases.

SWAN: We’re testing so much because it’s spread so far in America.

TRUMP: ... Jonathan, when I took over, we didn’t even have a test.

SWAN: Why would you have a test? The virus didn’t exist.

@realDonaldTrump
OPEN THE SCHOOLS!!!


Dumb, da dumb-da dumb. It's President Shouty Twit

Clearly he does not understand what happened in Georgia's largest school district in a short amount of time, maybe the shortest ever, or so they say, then again it is probably just part of the continued witch hunt democrat plot.

Tucker, Ingraham, and Hannity all spout every night that kids don't catch or spread the virus. He probably believes it.

I'm trying to watch the whole thing as a form of penance, and that was my first JFC moment. Around 7:30 in. I'm stuck at the 12 minute mark. Hard to do more than a few minutes at a time.
