Virus thread, the political one.

[BBB]

Glenn and Corso have been a bit quieter...

Oh come on...

"Gadfly Glen, Caustic Corso and Bumbling Bluejays are keeping quiet as they now realise they backed the wrong horse. Losers. Instead of Vsalon, they are probably getting their news from Fox. So sad."

Whoops, switched into character...

I get the criticism that it can be an echo chamber, but alternative views are good, particularly in, what for us, are unprecented times.

Let's just be thankful that it is a Corona virus and not Ebola.

In all crisis, it is still good to laugh. And this laugh is political so I gues it belongs in this thread. Hopefully, it will make you smile as eff’d up as it is....

Well done except when she says "which we can manage"(the virus) at 25" in, hasn't been the case so far, other than that pretty good but its more true/sad than funny.

On another note, I don't think we need the tests anymore to track where the virus is, it's everywhere, and if you don't think that's true well.......

And in a major shocker, it’s looking like some GOP politicians actually took the early warnings seriously. (For their stock portfolios, not for the health and safety of their constituents or other fellow Americans...)

Not cool, @BBB. Personal insults at fellow VSalonistas is unbecoming. We are all just chatting in a virtual paceline.

Thank you, @thollandpe. You are a class act and it truly shows. Thanks again.

Thankyou. That is a most excellent you tube channel. Their videos on Marriage equality and the Australian fires are pretty good too...

It was an unfortunate ad hominem attack the poster above wrote, @beeatnik.

Thanks. It was.

Apology accepted. We're good. Thanks.

I get it, Triple Bee was channeling a certain tangerine twatwaddle with the insult schtick. But humor (humour?) at somebody's expense.

Note that post-coronavirus paceline rules apply, no snot rockets! Beware that the mods are trained in Sean Kelly peloton control tactics, ambient-temperature bottles of gatorade dumped down the jersey collar.

Why don't you hold the President of your country to the same standards you expect of your fellow members of this online forum?

Putting that insider information to good use...

Sen. Richard Burr, who sold stock before recent market decline, voted in 2012 against banning insider trading for Congress

At least his is consistent about it...

[fastupslowdown]

was going to give Trump praise for the defense production act but not 24 hours after announcing it , he's back tracking. seems those same companies that want bail outs, tax cuts and interest free loans, don't want gov't directing them to prouce needed supplies -Mike G

Are congressional representatives really excluded from federal insider trading laws (serious question)?
