Virus thread, the political one.

^que es eso?

A letter from the IRS to make sure I knew El Presidente had direct deposited a stimulus payment in my checking account last month.

Golf courses around here opened two weeks ago. I'm a No Masker in Public but the optics of that decision were a head scratcher.

Anyway, if thoughtfully considered, how is golfing any different than riding a bike. It may be a smarter decision, actually. It's more zen. If my golf skills matched my cycling talent, I'd still be golfing. Probably scratch. 12 hours. Every weekend.

I’m not going to debate golf vs biking as an outdoor activity these days. (I rode today)

My quibble is with the “leader of the free world” Who has done fuck all to improve things over the last three months (and spent years chirping from the peanut gallery about Obama playing golf), thinking it’s ok, either logically or optically, to go fuck around on a golf course at this time.

I get it. I just know a lot of cats who hate or don't understand golf.

"Barack Obama plays golf to escape work while America goes down the drain.”

“Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President, Obama spent the day playing golf. Worse than Carter.” “I love golf, but if I were in the White House, I don’t think I’d ever see Turnberry again. I don’t think I’d ever see Doral again,” “I don’t ever think I’d see anything. I just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off.”

99,000 remembrances to go... Tragic unnecessary losses each and every one.

the courses sure are an awful use of water... despite anything about the game itself.

I didn't create it but you should be able to just copy/save the attachment dotard12.jpg right?

That image should grace every Trump rally.

BTW I love the file name.

Speaking of WTF, we had a discussion last night of just how pissed off we'd be if part of the reason we were still stuck at home in the UK (we're not but my sister's family is) was partly because whoever wanted to could just arrive at the airport and spread out. Serioiusly? WTF?

El Presidente wants to have full arena attendance for the RNC.

[theflashunc]

100,000 dead, 30 million out of work, and all this asshole can think about is a party being thrown for him maybe being canceled.

If 100,000 were dead from Ebola and the last President was acting like this, Sean Hannity would just be openly saying the N bomb on TV nightly. Instead these jabronis act like all is well.

If the photos from this weekend are any indication, this summer is going to be a bloodbath.

Huh, you must ride differently than I do? My bike ride isn't supported by dozens of people working in the clubhouse and on the grounds, sometimes in close proximity to one another, all for minimum wage.

Interesting how populist leaders have been a disaster.

Trump - hopeless. Highest death toll in the world.

BoJo - second highest death toll in the world and his chief adviser has been caught red handed breaching lockdown provisions, refuses to resign and won't be sacked.

The dude in Brazil - hopeless.

Don't vote for populist chumps.
