Back in Norcal.... Tahoe dumping snow right now. Traffic backed up as people want in on some very scarce fresh snow. Then this just now:


Interesting to see if all Tahoe halts before tomorrow. Casinos in the on deck circle?

Earlier...

The incompetence has gone from amusing to mass murder. A nation gets the government it deserves. The ignorance ended up killing us because it resulted in Chauncey Gardiner getting elected POTUS.




1. A majority of Americans cannot name a single branch of government or explain what the Bill of Rights is;

2. 24% can't name the country that the U.S. fought in the Revolutionary War;

3. 2/3 don't know what the holding of Roe v. Wade is;

4. 2/3 don't know what the Food and Drug Administration does;

5. 50% don't know each state has two senators;

6. More than 50% can't name their congressman;

7. The average voter thinks 24% of the U.S. budget goes to foreign aid (less than 1% does);

8. 18% thinks the sun revolves around the earth;

9. 50% don't know that Judaism predates Christianity

Cure is coming tomorrow, and no, not from Norway. Think further north. Is tomorrow the day T gives us a solo rendition of Amazing Grace?

A hastily constructed and poorly planned Trump policy causes chaos at the nation's airports? I already saw that movie.

Skiing doesn't seem like a particularly risky way to spread the virus. I wouldn't stay at a ski lodge. That's a different story. However, skiing itself seems pretty innocuous. Skiers aren't generally in close quarters with each other and they are usually covered up pretty well. It seems like one of the least likely sports to be an issue. What is the concern there, really?

It's still a bunch of people congregating in a single area, though. And wouldn't people then hang out in the indoor areas while resting, getting food, etc.? I imagine people aren't just skiing the whole time.

I'm sure it's because of the indoor areas.

Anyway, a bit of good news: Trump seems to have agreed to a relief bill negotiated with House Dems, and McConnell called off the Senate recess so they can vote on it. Not completely paralyzed at least.

Hmm, may have spoke too soon. No Senate vote expected until Tuesday. Not a lot of urgency from McConnell.

On KTVU News last night they said the ski resort closures were based on the indoor concerns.

The true sign of how irreversibly f'd up our country is ...is that beliefs and opinions regarding COVAID 19 and its impact break down along partisan lines. Based on the percentages in the story below, in the minds of the majority of Conservatives, being concerned about the coronavirus is just part of the wacky bundle of beliefs of The Left (which includes global warming):

Sixty percent believe worst is yet to come for the U.S. in coronavirus pandemic


https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/meet-the-press/sixty-percent-believe-worst-yet-come-u-s-coronavirus-pandemic-n1159106



*I'm sure Fox News' reporting shares a large part of the responsibility for this sad state of affairs.

I saw a tweet from his opponent praising him. The comments are a mix of thankfulness and outrage. But that's what you gotta do. Leadership has to be shown. The problem these past few weeks is a lack of decisive leadership. (He says in the next tweet, which should've been in the first, that deliveries and takeout are okay.)

I see the hand of one of Crime Family members (who all have "purchased" degrees from good colleges) in the creation of that slogan. One of the perks of being a moron from a well to do family is that you have a dump truck full of unfounded self esteem and confidence.

If it's true that Trump wanted to keep a potential vaccine exclusive to the US, which I have no reason to disbelieve and is entirely consistent with everything Trump has done and said in his life, is pathetic. I'm all for incentivizing private industry to develop vaccines and cures, but something like this is so important and widespread that it needs to be made available to the world. Anything less than that is a massive failure and inhumane.

Is there anyone who would defend this behavior?

Not only inhumane, but completely stupid on a practical level. You want this disease to be eradicated in as many places as possible, lest it come back here.
