Sunday, November 29, 2020

And another day of announcements, a smorgasbord of disinformation, virus deaths, mink farms, hurt fish, and the case of the now missing monolith comes to a close:

"I think that a sitting U.S. senator exploiting his office, exploiting his access to privileged information, exploiting his power to enrich himself while his own constituents are suffering and dying absolutely makes Senator Perdue a crook." -- Jon Ossoff


"If your state isn’t asking you to dine in your bubble, remember the leaders don’t care about you. If you die or get sick, their life will not change. They were not elected because of their skill at comprehending a crisis." — Andy Slavitt
