Wednesday, April 29, 2020

And another day of deaths, demands, contradictions, unemployment benefits, sexual allegations, McConnell being McConnell, Kushner being Kushner, and Trump being Trump comes to a close:

“By a lie, a man...annihilates his dignity as a man.” -- Immanuel Kant

Deaths
US: 61,668 (+2402)
World: 228,223 (10,251)

Countdown: 188 days.

More Americans have died of the coronavirus than in the Vietnam War. — And it only took three months. The Vietnam conflict lasted nearly 20 years.

Public, private health labs may never be able to meet demand for coronavirus testing over supply chain shortages.

Trump downplays the need for coronavirus testing in another whiplash contradiction.

A tale of two summers: White House diverges from health experts over what's to come.

The White House has ordered intel agencies to probe whether China and the WHO initially hid what they knew about the pandemic. A specific "tasking" seeking information about the outbreak's early days was sent last week to NSA, CIA, and DIA. — He is desperately searching for a scapegoat, but, you know? It’s the Republican way.

States tell workers they'll lose unemployment benefits if they refuse to return to jobs. “If you're an employer and you offer to bring your employee back to work and they decide not to, that's a voluntary quit," Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) said Friday. "Therefore, they would not be eligible for the unemployment money.” — To Republicans, you are expendable. They are literally trying to kill you.

A very deliberate reopening by Inslee: Washington is not Georgia.

McConnell's focus when the Senate comes back will be judges, not coronavirus. — He knows his time to keep fucking the country over is coming to an end.

Kushner calls US coronavirus response a 'success story' as cases hit 1 million. -- I’d hate to see a failure. Seriously, though, they are just following the playbook of repeating lies until people believe them.

Trump said the federal coronavirus social distancing guidelines that were set to expire Thursday won't be extended and will be "fading out" because "now the governors are doing it."

Russia’s coronavirus outbreak is getting bad. Putin says the worst is yet to come.

Trump says he hopes for "massive" rallies of "25,000" this year. -- Such a small, petty man.

Federal judge unseals new set of documents provided to lawyers for fmr. Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who is seeking to withdraw his guilty plea, that could provide them with new ammunition for attacking the FBI's handling of the case.

New Information Emerges Around Biden Sexual Assault Allegation.

Trump erupts at campaign manager as reelection stress overflows. -- He didn’t like the poll numbers.

Elon Musk slams "fascist" social distancing measures in California, saying the orders pose a "serious risk" to the company: "Give people back their g**d*** freedom". -- Shut up, Musk. Rich people want poor people to risk their lives to make those rich people richer.

'Dangerous & disrespectful': Doctors tear into Pence's mask-less hospital visit. -- Pence respects no one.

Meteorologists say 2020 on course to be hottest year since records began.

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
