Fuck this stupid ass shit. I wanna hike, shoot, and just generally breathe. Fucking idiot democrat voters here would let their blue state government get away with genocide as long as it was done by a democrat government. They’re seriously so fucking stupid here that Inslee’s state police could start publicly executing people based on race and they’d re-elect everyone who supported the policy. There’s a fucking concentration camp in Centralia and these fucking pussies here haven’t done anything about it.

WAPO highlights a problem

“What we need now, what won World War II, was a quartermaster,” [Washington governor] Inslee said. “That’s how you win wars. That’s what we need — a quartermaster.”

Recently, Trump was directly confronted with glaring evidence of this. His own administration released a report documenting urgent shortages faced by hospital administrators around the country, who offered constructive suggestions on how the federal government can help save American lives.

In response, Trump lashed out in a rage, and pretended those problems are simply nonexistent.

Needless to say, that’s not the quartermaster we need.

The country ran out of toilet paper, and haircuts were illegal.

Mom: "So, the governor announced that all restaurants, gyms, theaters, etcetera, need to close because of the coronavirus."

Me: "I heard that. Restaurants can do take-out orders or delivery, but no dining."

Mom: "Even places like barbershops and hair salons have to close. They all have until midnight tonight. It will be illegal for them to stay open."

Me: "I wonder exactly what the punishment is if they do?"

Luke: [age 15] "Wait. Dad, we have haircut appointments tomorrow! I /really/ need a haircut."

Me: "Hang on." [texts quickly with the barber] "OK. He can get us in ASAP because he's closed tomorrow until this is over."

Luke: [sighs with relief] "Whew."

Mom: "This is a really strange and historic time we're living through."

Luke: "Seriously. I can't wait to tell my grandchildren: a bat in China gave the whole world a virus, all the schools were closed, the country ran out of toilet paper, and haircuts were illegal."

Me: "They'll never believe you."

Luke: "They have to. I'm living it RIGHT NOW!"

two cents on the 2020 primary

1. Joe Biden is horrible.

 Don’t vote for him. He’s too racist, too moderate, and won’t do what we need. 

(Exception: if he wins the nomination, he’s better than Trump.)

2. Buttigieg is a wildcard

The segment of voters he’s catering to is different. I think he’s interesting.

I personally wouldn’t vote for him, as I don’t want another white man in office. It is cool that he’s gay however, and I think he would be good for all the closeted gay kids. As a lesbian however, I’d rather have a straight woman than a gay man. (Make your own opinion about this one)

3. Jay Inslee is awesome

Literally whomever wins the nomination should steal his climate plan. And put him in the cabinet somewhere. I personally don’t think he has a realistic chance of winning, but y’know, weirder things have happened. 

4. Warren is brilliant at policy.

She's my realistic choice for the nomination. She’s brilliant and she deserves to win it.

5. Stop worrying so much about electability

‘Electability’ is such an amorphous concept that it provides a great way for our biases to sneak in and point us towards old, straight white men.

Like Biden. Don’t vote for Biden.

Inslee says he needs 5,000 donors to qualify for 2020 Democratic debates

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) told supporters Monday he needs at most 5,000 more donors to qualify for the main stage at the Democratic debates.

I donated $1 to Inslee.

He’s not my preferred candidate (I’m rooting for Bernie and Warren), but Inslee’s whole platform is about climate change, and he needs 5,000 more donors to qualify for the debates - and I really want to see someone hammering the climate change issue, especially as fucking biden is acting like it’s no big deal.

So yeah, if you can, consider donating a dollar so we can get him on the debate stage and his points in the national spotlight. (It goes by number of donors, not by how much money is donated.)
