Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah Dateline Washington: Trump To Visit Areas Hardest Hit By Virus Hoax.* OK, so maybe the headline above isn't real, but is it completely "Fake News" when it's entirely possible that our alleged President Trump would visit some coronavirus ravaged community and toss packages of disinfectant wipes to the crowd? After all, we do have the "Paper Towels for Puerto Rico" precedent and Donnie Head Case never misses an opportunity for a photo op. You can bet that if he's handing out wipes, it will be to a carefully selected crowd of typical white supremacist donors. My guess is ... more »

California under curfew: a truly crappy apocalyptic movie
A few hours ago, a wannabe Hitler, the governor of California, has issued the self-evidently unconstitutional "order" (he emphasized it wasn't just a "request") to 40 million Californians – inhabitants of the world's most admired state of a comparable size, at least in modern technologies – to stay home for a month. A positive detail is that many of the locals have "online jobs", anyway. But that's not the case of many other states that will probably emulate this insanity soon. Increasingly unhinged psychopaths are clearly increasingly taking over everything that is left from the ci... more »
