Good morning my Glibs and Gliberinas! And what a beautiful morning it always is!
Ladies and Gentleman, we got him. No one dare even try to touch a single curl off the head of my Rand.
You have to almost admire her at a certain level.
Please let there be debates, please let there be debates.
Private payrolls grew, but far below expectations.
I have to say, Democrats attaching themselves to violent rioters was an absolutely fantastic political move. How Republicans struggled against these clowns for so long is beyond me.
That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.

He won’t carry thru, but the amount of caterwauling his trolling will bring is worth it.

Also! Federal funding always has strings attached.
Divorce rate skyrockets. – I blame insufficient whiskey.
Your newsletter – may I subscribe to it?
Only after his editor learns to spell whisky.
I spell it both ways to keeps things fresh
Whiskey and whisky are two different things.
Which one causes whiskey dick? Or is it whisky dick?
BTW, never get either cause I am a Bourbon guy.
So you get Bourbon Balls?

Forget newsletters. I just keep sufficient whiskey.
Let’s see here. Currently on the whiskey shelf:
Oban 18 year
2x Talisker distiller’s edition
Lagavulin 16 year
Macallan Edition no 2
Jura 16 year
Dalwhinnie 15 year
Penderyn Welsh whiskey (given to us by a Welsh friend who claimed it was a good as the scotch. It wasn’t)
Not sure if that qualifies as “sufficient” or not…
I find most Talisker distiller’s editions mediocre
We had one that was absolutely fantastic that we picked up at the distillery in 2012. The ones since then have been less impressive. That one from 2012 was the first time that I had a whiskey where I could distinguish all the distinct notes in the dram. It was magical…
On my whiskey shelf…
…um…
… I don’t appear to have a whiskey shelf.
I have a whiskey shelf, and a Scotch cabinet.
I had to take my booze out of the freezer to make rom for food, so it’s sitting in various spots all over the kitchen.
On a personal level, I was way ahead of the curve.
That seems awfully light for the offense.

You have to almost admire her at a certain level.
No, I don’t. No more than I admire any other delusional street preacher.
She’s going with the Marion Barry defense: “bitch set me up!”
Yeah this is not admirable. The normal fake apology would have had everyone moving on, but now she is making it a bigger story for no real reason.
She has also destroyed the salon owner’s life – or what was left of it after Newsom crushed her business.

Private payrolls grew, but far below expectations.- evil capitalism I suspect. My neighbor just told me companies would have enough money if the owners didn’t steal so much.
Owners steal their own company’s money? These are the people that tell you government must steal the money to make sure the owner doesn’t keep to much of his own company’s money….
Did you beat your neighbor?
Or at least swear to never speak to him again?
He’s an old guy running for city council on one of the economically right wing parties in Romania. But he is more an opportunist than anything I doubt he has an ideology.

Consider yourself lucky. The website is a shitshow.
I figured it was a GDPR thing.
No this does not seem to be a GDPR thing
I don’t see why not. But do read Cuomo’s response (linked therein) – it’s fucking hilarious.
Ole Nip Rings be mad.
The combination of stress, unemployment, financial strain, death of loved ones, illness, homeschooling children, mental illnesses, and more has put a significant strain on relationships.
But we saved their lives!
Look. The government must do something. If you do nothing and it works, people will ask why they need so much government in the first place.
Especially them gods with presidential ambitions that see this sort of lording it over the serfs as a means to get support from the pro marxism rebuilding of America. Also if you are just a fucking power hungry authoritarian, cause them ladies (or gents, depending on what floats your boat) love them some bossy behavior and let you score more….
Grab ’em right by the pussy?
I have heard some people say that Bill Clinton was pissed they attributed that to orange man, cause he was doing it first and better….
mornin’ banjos!
Every time I come close to choking back the vomit and deciding to vote Trump in order to punish the authoritarian left, he does something idiotic to chase me off again. This time it was the CDC thing. Last time it was the bailout checks.
Joe needs your vote anyways
Joe or Jo?
I said Joe didn’t I?
Apparently a vote for Jo is a vote for Joe.
Or it’s a vote for Trump, depending on who you ask.
But it never seems to be a vote for Jo.
You already said you like to spell words wrong 50% of the time us above, so it was good to cheque.
I don’t like it either, but there’s a lot of service industry people unable to work right now because of their governors.
And still no end in sight for when the restrictions may be lifted. Here in Ohio Cincinnati is blaming the earlier last call for the upswing in violence and asking to be exempt.
How does stopping payroll taxes help people who aren’t working?
Oops, I realize it was the CDC thing, sorry.
You’re vote has much less that 6% chance of mattering.
Does it help to figure that any other president would have done exactly the same or worse?
Yeah, that’s what makes this whole campaign mostly a yawn for me. Fuck the presidency and the stupid cult of personality. Trump can’t even get troops out of countries when he wants – the myth of Presidential authority is just that, a goddam myth. Oh no sir, we mustn’t do that – here, allow us to show you how we can slow roll it and out-wait you.
not particularly, no. by my standard formulation, nobody gets my vote because none of them inspire me to get off the couch and vote for them.
However, I want to punish the democrats and do my part to keep them from attaining the levers of power.
Do I (not) vote on principle, or do I let my emotions win out and go vote against every Democrat on ballot? I don’t think I’ve ever quite fallen over to the latter way of thinking this election cycle, but it has been close more than a few times.
Seeing the violence of the left up close has made me decide to punish them. If I was in a communist state I wouldn’t bother, but being in Florida my vote may actually matter.
This for me two.
You think a vote matters to them? That is no punishment – it is a challenge, to sharpen their lies to fool other people. Your vote doesn’t matter to them – except to note who needs some special govt attention once they consolidate power.
We don’t really have a system to punish people for lusting for power. We can deny them power is it.

Good morning, Banjos!
What a fantastic song choice! I was in a stupid garage band in HS and that was the first song we ever learned together.
So thanks for that!
The debates will be interesting. The moderators are largely hacks, but Two Scoops knows how to handle them. I remain unconvinced that the Bidenites won’t pull some stunt to get out of them, though.
Oooh, good strategy Joe! You’ll lock up the Karen vote for sure!
What a fuckhead.
How Republicans struggled against these clowns for so long is beyond me.
Because they are unprincipled swamp creatures?
Have a wonderful day, peeps! Sure, most of our fellow Americans, Canadians, Romanians, Brits and Wisconsinites hate us, but at least we have each other!
UAA is going to cut Men’s hockey after this upcoming season. Getting excluded from the new CCHA didn’t help and the state budget is in the tank which was the final blow.
Yeah, I had heard rumors about that even last year. It sucks, but I suspect this horseshit will be the death blow for a bunch of programs.
UAA is axing other programs. UAF won’t be far behind but still have the flagship status to hide behind for now.
Back before INXS started sucking
INXS never sucked.
They had a good thing going, but then Michael choked.
Ha!
Mid-80s Aussie bands had such a unique sound.
Sweet. That’s my favorite of theirs, and I love all their early stuff.
LOL that never gets old
How Republicans struggled against these clowns for so long is beyond me.
It helps that the media are Democrat propagandists, in addition to the Republican’s fecklessness.
Ford stumbling = unfit for office
Clinton burning women and children alive = strong leadership
As much as Trump goes after the media, I wish he would bash them more.

despite being a constitutionalist
*spits out coffee*
Is he serious?
Of course he is! And he is seriously expecting you are dumb enough to believe that blatant lie too.
I’ll grant that he is the only one I heard make a constitutional appeal in the Dem primary debates. But he wants to do something inherently unconstitutional through otherwise constitutional means. Then he got the witch that wants to rule with her iron pen and phone with E.O. gun control to be his VP. So fuck him.

Next thing you’re gonna tell me is that cop’s lived experiences can’t tell a speeder when they see one, accurate to +/- 3 MPH?
c’mon, man, they are trained.
Or spot someone not wearing a seatbelt going the opposite direction at 70 mph on a divided four-lane highway.
Heh! I always laugh when the cop on the other side flashes his lights but then I slow down a bit because they have some magical ability to communicate with each other *haven’t had a speeding ticket since 1991*
I got popped by a Mountie going the other direction in northern BC driving back up here. I was going ~30 kmh over, so whatever.

I’m assuming that has to be “Next Stop Nowhere,” the greatest TV episode of all time.

That’s exactly what the song is about!
What a classic!
We were really stoned one time when we were kids watching Quincy and one of my buddies pipes up, “Quincy! Super-Stud Coroner!” We laughed and laughed.
In Alabama and Mississippi, it’s probably true.
But functionally, the problem has been that quite often medical examiners exist to cover up for cops when necessary.
Paid out of the same pocket; just another part of what we all do together (i.e. govt).
I mean, historically all over the country, yeah they 100% were used for racists purposes. Louisiana is still 100% fucked on this point.

The amounts of money impacted by Trump’s order could be massive. New York City, for example, gets about $7 billion a year in federal aid.
But I heard New York and California are carrying all the low rent red states.
Well I presume NY pays plenty in federal tax… I would doubt they get more than they pay
Considering they get to count Wall St. in their numbers, I rate this true.
–BobaFacts
That’s just because the red states aren’t paying their fair share!
It’s telling that Cuomo doesn’t want the Feds to uncover and broadcast exactly where all those Federal grants are going.
Spankey!
Fed gov takes 20% or so of income as tax. They can give a disproportionate amount to low-population density states while still giving enough to NY that taking it away from NY would be a huge hit to NY’s operating budget….
Which is why redistribution of federal funds is stupid and dangerous.
I always remind the socialists that the system they are then criticizing is one they created and support, because government needs To be the arbiter of who wins and who loses to enact social justice. You should see the reactions when I tell them I wholly support a repeal of this criminal confiscation and redistribution scam The socialist brigade champions, and that they should too!.

I found this in a book on Norse mythology, in a chapter discussing “The twilight of the gods” and the beginning of Fimbul-winter:
Brothers slay brothers;
Sisters’ children Shed each other’s blood.
Hard is the world; Sensual sin grows huge.
There are sword-ages, axe-ages;
Shields are cleft in twain;
Storm-ages, murder-ages;
Till the world falls dead,
And men no longer spare Or pity one another.
–“Norse Mythology” (R.B. Anderson)
Is this where we are?
I don’t know that we ever left.
Not according to the Gods of the Copybook Headings.
Civilizations have been rising then collapsing as there were humans, the Norse knew it. When the common beliefs and assumptions that hold a tribe or nation together are lost, violence and anarchy ensue.

Heh.
It’s like Ted Wheeler, ranting about Trump calling Portland “anarchic” while at the same time searching for a new, undisclosed location to move to because the rioters tried to burn down his condo.
Protestors were outside Bowser’s house last night too. Also, harassing her neighbors.

I didn’t realize that Wheeler County, OR was named after one of his ancestors. They must be so proud.
It’s nice for these mayor’s to just move. Why didn’t everyone else think of that rather than complain about protests.
Petulant bitch
In highly personal and insulting language, Cuomo speculated that Trump wasn’t upset about New York’s soaring murder rate and shootings.
“I think it’s because he is from New York City and New York City rejected him, always,” Cuomo said. “He was dismissed as a clown in New York City, those who know him best, like him least.”
Cuomo jeered: “He was disrespected in New York City. Nobody took him seriously and he was just a tabloid cartoon.”
Referring to a claim in a recent book by Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, Cuomo said, “his sister, a former federal judge, is disgraced by him.”
The governor also claimed Trump’s “negligence” is the reason New York state suffered the highest COVID-19 death toll. The governor’s critics blame his Health Department’s mandate that forbade nursing homes from turning away COVID-19-positive patients, potentially leading to at least 6,500 deaths.
Such statesman. Presidential.
That is the best thing about His Orangeness is that he strips away the veneer of respectability that politicians have managed to create for themselves and gets the to show the world the petty, chicken shit twats that they are. Of course, here we have always known this to be the case
He has a keen eye for fomenting infighting, I’ll give him that much. It’s almost like he measures the dicks that his opponents can’t help but trip over.

NuScale’s small nuclear reactor is first to get US safety approval
I love how while the idiots are braying about green nude eels, real engineers are quietly building the tech that will keep us moving forward.
I am still hoping for molten salt…
My cholesterol levels are already high enough!
An aside: I’m watching the US Open all day and every single commercial break is some flack at Amazon spinning green new deal fantasies about how electric trucks and windmills are going to heal the earth in five years and herpity derpity doo.
Fucking delusional.
Jesus, stop gulping the Soma, Friend. I listened to the last period of a hockey game on the wireless on Tuesday night and it was pretty “woke-free”.
The tennis is pretty woke-free, too. I’m mostly on the outer court feeds. The main court, on the ESPN mothership, is however a big pile of derp, and mostly players I don’t want to watch anyway.
They are welcome to try it….voluntarily, and on their own.
Finally. They’ve been talking about small scale reactors for decades. I thought Toshiba was going to have one first, but they went broke, so….
The cult is not interested in any engineering solutions, and especially not the nuclear option, to solve the supposed Armageddon they predict man is brining to poor Gaia with the emissions plants need to live and make more oxygen. Like all the causes they fight for, solving the problem is not ever their intent, as doing so would remove the ability for them to peddle unpalatable and downright even marxist political solutions.
Yep. The biggest enemy of the would-be revolutionary is not the social conservative, but anyone who solves the problem while working within the system. It’s why Marx and Engels had to lie about worker immiseration and the Factory Acts. It’s why the left had to invent the concept of microaggressions.
If you want to smash everything, someone undermining your pretext for doing so by demonstrably improving things is a disaster for you. How can you claim poverty, racism, climate change, rape etc are functions of capitalism when capitalism shows clear progress in addressing these things? (Obviously Thomas Sowell’s question “Compared to What?” is also key).
So the commies have to deny the possibility of progress and change. In doing so they piss on the graves of everyone who ever effected it. If America is just as racist as it was in 1950/1860/1619, then I guess MLK and John Lewis must have wasted their lives.

I maxed out on accrued leave last pay period. Not being able to go anywhere due to the ‘rona and the fact it’s been Hell Year at work really puts the damper on taking time off. Even the time off I have later this month is going to be interrupted by an event I cannot skip. Goddammit.
I hear ya. I can’t take a single day off because my replacement is inept. I am literally chained to my job unless I just choose to walk away forever. Fuck me I needed a “stress day” today.
literally chained-

Wait. There’s still the barefoot and pregnant wife exception, right?
Yes, but only in the Appalachian mountains.
There as well. Keep getting told I need to take time off so I don’t end up not workin the last 6 or 7 weeks of the year, but any time I say I will take days off to do something I want my boss freaks out. These asshats were actually bold enough to tell me to take Wednesday’s off every week cause that was the time it hurt them not having me there the least. Never mind that I would have nothing to do other than sit on my ass at home on the day off in the middle of the week. Fuck dat!

“He better have an army if he thinks he’s gonna walk down the street in New York. New Yorkers don’t want to have anything to do with him,” Cuomo said in an apparently threatening manner during a press conference following the review’s approval, a move which was first reported by the New York Post.
“He can’t have enough bodyguards to walk through New York City. People don’t want to have anything to do with him,” the Democrat governor added.
So dreamy when he stands up to Drumpfler. ///Cuomosexual
Perfect time for Drumpfler to boot out all the NYPD assigned to remote posts with various agencies and overseas so they can serve as his detail in NYC.

I can’t fathom the utter hatred for Trump and his supporters. It’s like nothing that I’ve seen in my lifetime. They’re not setting off bombs quite yet but it’s like 1974 but with more vitriol.
As long as they only yap…and stay away from the bombs, I can dig it.
That famous doctor I bring up here?
Yeh.
He said that while doesn’t wish ill on people he wants Trump to get the Mussolini treatment.
Oh. And he’s a coronabro pant shitter extremist who still wants to keep EVERYTHING closed for granny.
I don’t think the secret service plays around… it wouldn’t be like when Rand Paul was attacked in DC. I remember seeing a clip of Bush speaking in Panama or some Central American country. The crowd started getting rowdy and dangerous. Within seconds, a crowd-control response team pulled out some long arms (don’t remember type) that seemed sufficient to put down the first several waves of attackers if needed.
I’d like to see Trump show up and say, “Hey Cuomo, DeBlasio, meet Force Recon!”
If Trump was even half the tyrant they claim he is, they wouldn’t have the balls to talk shit about him.
They can only grandstand and pretend he is a tyrant cause he is not. Do you really think cowards and cuntes like these douchebags would dare stand up to a real tyrant? They would be lining up to kiss that real tyrant’s ass. Not just out of fear, mind you, but because they love them some brutal evil fucks. Che, after all, is soooo dreamy!
Cuomo ain’t walking down any street in NYC without an army either.
There goes the rocket.

And Cuomo?
In economic news, the S&P is headed for an all time high while the VIX is spiking.
That’s an ominous warning, along with an all-time low of shorts on the broader market. If the market crashes, there won’t be any short-sellers to slow the fall down by taking profits along the way.
The bills going to come due in about two to three months here.
And now Fredo…
Cuomo said, “Trump is an incumbent who says, look around, everything has gone to hell in a handbasket since I became president, and only I can fix it. Think about it. He literally is selling you the proposition that you need to re-elect him to fix what went wrong on his watch. He talks about the economy as if the pandemic never happened. The numbers after the pandemic do not matter, that’s not the state of our economy right now. And if you don’t re-elect him, the things that have gotten bad on his watch will get worse. Doesn’t simple logic 62 days out from an election dictate that the guy who helped make things bad would probably make it worse if given a second chance? Now, remember, here’s the key. How do you sell abnormal? You need to be abnormal. Forget about presidential. Instead of presidential, Trump is pathological. He lies and uses power and pawns to divide. He is the picture that should be next to a demagogue in the dictionary. He literally wants to make you hate. Prove it. OK, how are you supposed to feel about media that doesn’t praise him, like me, for example? hate them, hate them.”
Is it just me or does this seem like a roid driven rant?
Like hating the media is some kind of new thing. I’ve hated the media since Fredo was swimming around in his daddy’s nutsack…
Democrat supporters riot and destroy cities under control of Democrats for decades, and Democrat governors shut down businesses tanking their economies, but Trump is to blame?
How the fuck does that even make sense to anyone?
CNN watchers are brain dead.
Stop insulting brain dead people by comparing them to the idiots that watch CNN please…
Democrat supporters riot and destroy cities
I guess you didn’t get the latest narrative memo… these are all white-supremacists attempting to hijack the peaceful protests to sow confusion for Trump.
How the fuck does that even make sense to anyone?
Two-minutes hate – don’t you even read the manual bro?
In the debates, Trump has to be an animal-beast and obliterate and nuke Biden and the Democrats from the solar system.

Toldja so! Toldja so!
A motorcycle rider who traveled to the Sturgis rally in August has died of COVID-19 as infections rise in parts of the Midwest, Minnesota health officials said on Wednesday, while Los Angeles reopened hair salons and New Yorkers returned to gyms.
The motorcyclist, identified only as a man in his 60s with underlying health conditions, was in an intensive care unit at the time of his death, said Kris Ehresmann, the state’s infectious disease director.
“We are now up to 50 cases associated with Sturgis and sadly that includes one death among today’s total,” Ehresmann told a news briefing. Secondary infections were not included in the count.
Hundreds of thousands of people attended the annual motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, in August, an event that some public health officials worried could touch off a new outbreak of the virus.
Dire predictions confirmed. The governor of South Dakota murdered that poor man.
She could murder me any time.
Just sayin’.
Our local officials are furiously spinning to try to keep people freaked out about a pandemic that isn’t.
This guy has been solid throughout this bullshit.
That’s actually amazing. I honestly don’t know how I could sit through those fucking antiscience propaganda meetings without blowing a fucking gasket. While the retarded doublespeak and contradictory bullshit from the gov offended and offended me the level of thought that went into the reporters questions and pushback was rage inducing.
*sets hair on fire, runs in circles*
Hey everyone – this guy is doing exactly what we want! Follow his lead! /clueless gits in govt
Math is hard…100,000 (times x) causes 50 (max) cases. And this is what we’re killing the economy over?
I’d bet if you had the ability to looked at the last several years of Sturgis attendance, and then tracked the lives of all attendees for this same period of time afterward, having one of them drop dead during the study period would be entirely normal.
Bikes, booze, blow, and bitchez takes a serious toll on one’s health man…
One? Hepatitis is a participation trophy at Sturgis.
Sturgis infection rate is around 0.0125%.
a man in his 60s with underlying health conditions
Ignore that shit, it was the Kung Flu what got ‘im!!
One death out of hundreds of thousands attendees? So it sounds like the biggest risk of attending is probably the risk of traffic fatalities on the way to and from there.
Your risk of getting an STD not yet known to science is probably considerably higher.
There were four traffic accidetn deaths
The media’s not your friend
Cohen is such a dirtbag, he secretly taped and published recordings of his own buddy. Gotta love it.
Never ever talk to Michael Cohen about personal stuff in any environment he can record you. The man’s the archetype of a shitbag lawyer and he makes Saul Goodman look ethical.
Saul Goodman is Atticus Finch compared to this guy.
So Cuomo might say “The Media is the Enemy?”
All progjection, all the time.
Heilemann said, “If you ran into a guy behaving the way Trump behaves at a backyard barbecue in your neighborhood, back when you were still allowed to have backyard barbecues in your neighbor, and you met that guy, you would be expressing sympathy to your relatives saying, ‘Yeah, I’ve had someone in my family who have had issues with dementia.’ But we hesitate to go there because none of us on this show right now are doctors. None of us are qualified to do diagnosis. I’m not qualified to do a diagnosis. I’m not going to pretend like I am. But probably all of us have gone through, I have seen friends and family members in their advanced years have dementia and have cognitive issues. And there are familiar things we have seen in our lives. And there are three things that I have seen in others who have gotten into stages of advanced dementia; one of them is delusional tendencies, another is paranoia, intense paranoia, and the third is—unfortunately, and again, many people, good people, upstanding people have had this problem where you see someone in your family or in a family close to you where someone in an advanced stage of dementia starts to exhibit racist tendencies. They start to say— their submerged racism comes to the surface. You see the 80-year-old, 90-year-old man, often men, who have become paranoid, delusional, and more racist than maybe they exhibited in their first signs of racism or what they low level of racism was exacerbated on that age.”
I think Trump just broke so many people in such a profound way. It’s probably really hard for a ton of them to wrap their head around the fact that a ton of people hate them that much that they’d choose the grifter used car salesman douche-bag over anyone they liked.
It’s Trump who has dementia, not the guy who can’t finish a thought.
It’s not even projection, they’re just flat out lying and they know it.
I don’t think the secret service plays around… it wouldn’t be like when Rand Paul was attacked in DC. I remember seeing a clip of Bush speaking in Panama or some Central American country. The crowd started getting rowdy and dangerous. Within seconds, a crowd-control response team pulled out some long arms (don’t remember type) that seemed sufficient to put down the first several waves of attackers if needed.
As I recall, when Hinckley took his potshots at Reagan, several of the SS guys whipped out Mac-10s. An excellent, if somewhat indiscriminate, means of crowd dispersal.
PBBBBBBTTTTTTTTTT…….
oops
Not Mac-10s. They used full sized UZI SMGs.
Uzis. The secret service had brief cases specially made to hold them. The KGB at the same time had Krinkoffs (they didn’t call them that) in luggage that would pop open at the press of a couple buttons.
The people who made Mac-10’s tried to make some, but they were a unsafe failure. Almost shot some gov inspector when they were showing them off.
Yep. The USSS protective detail guys are the rare exception – federal cops who actually train consistently and can shoot competently.

“The mainstream media portrayed the so-called “swine flu” outbreak as a serious threat, with the then U.S. Vice President Joe Biden going so far as to advise people against confined spaces, such as airplanes,[10] and the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring it a pandemic in June of that year.[11] The flu itself was responsible for about 18,500 deaths, according to the WHO’s estimate, which they described as “almost surely underreported.” Nevertheless, this figure was far lower than the number of annual deaths believed to be caused by ordinary flu strains.[12] However, Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s William Schaffner stated that the capacity of the center was “stretched” as a result of the outbreak.”

It’s so depressing to be living through these stupid times.
One of the best responses on her Twitter account – where she got pasted – was, ‘what kind of sick shit are you into?’
What’s frightening is a public health official involving herself to this degree in the lives of private citizens.
What happened to ‘I don’t care what you do in the privacy of your room?’
What could possibly have driven her to say this? Yeh, I want to be naked with someone in masks. Makes me wonder if she’s plain stupid and autistic.
I personally find condoms to be a bridge to far ppe wise.
They just want people to play doctor.
God I loathe these people and I try to live my life without any hate in my heart. They just won’t leave well enough alone and it breaks me.
Mask? My god, if I was having sex with her it would be two bags AND a gimp hood.
Sounds like maybe the lady has a sexual fantasy she’d like to bring up.
That would make the mustache ride kind of awkward.
Women hardest hit
Yeah.. ha. Masks during sex. How would that even work. Like, the zipper would make it hard to…wait a second…
Something like this, I’m thinking.
She can storm my trooper any time. That is, after I verify that she is not a butherface or a dude with tits…
Do you need one when eating ass? I mean can you get COVID from that? Asking for HM…..
Hey, don’t be yucking my yum…
I get what you’re saying, but i just can’t find anything admirable about not taking responsibility for your own actions, and blaming someone because you got caught, rather than accepting that you acted hypocritically.
It’s the brazenness of it. I was caught red-handed and I’m going to blame someone else. The ones I can absolutely not tolerate are the ones who will apologize for her and create excuses.
It’s hard to imagine them existing but they do. It’s rather incredible. Just take the L.

He refuses to play politics though.
Many here have pointed out that BLM picks bad people as their rallying cry. But that is based off the assumption that BLM wants unity. they don’t, They want divisiveness, because it fuels their agenda, and their coffers.
Speaking of, has Biden denounced and rejected the endorsement by Richard Spencer?

Yes, that’s a clever name for Biden but what about his question?

RE: Cuomo’s rant about “Trump ruined the economy! Why is he saying he’ll make it better, why would you vote for someone who made it bad”
Yesterday i posted a map of the Unemployment rate by county, and now i’ll post the change in unemployemnt, by county, from last year. It really shows where people have been hardest hit.
I think you also see that its not totally unbelievable that some people might understand that they are out of work because of their governor. Especially as they see other states back to normal.
The places with double digit unemployment right now are never going to recover to be back to where they were in February for at least a generation, it’s kind of horrifying to think about as that was just 6 months ago.
But think about all those burned-out homes and businesses. The pent-up demand will be astonishing.
Like rocket fuel for the glaziers
Burned out homes? Empty storefronts? Generational unemployment? Its like I’m right back in western Pennsylvania!
Rust Belt Brothers unite!
So… what do we call these locations, the COVID belt?
“He was arraigned and has since been released on his personal recognizance.”

The stock market thinks Joe Biden is going to beat Donald Trump
So Wall Street doesn’t believe the polls any more than I do.
Usually that means my candidate would be in a bad position. But I don’t like that, so here’s why this time it’s different.
Oh to be a fly on the wall in CNN’s editorial meeting room.
Trump supporters are being hunted down on American streets, and somehow polling in his favor is down.
While, at the same time, there is a dearth of new polls.
It’s so depressing to be living through these stupid times.
This.
I don’t want to ride this ride anymore.
It’ll buff. It’s just a profound experience to see so many people in such a retarded hysterical state.

Cobra Kai is great. Makes me wonder what William Zabka could’ve been as an actor in the years in between.
Because it’s hilarious. Plus there’s Blake Lively’s older sister, who I had a crush on at the time after seeing her in Teen Witch.

Sorry Pie. My reality is soaked in gin for weeks now.
That, and I’m at work.
Anybody here joined a Militia? I’m thinking about joining the Florida Militia if Biden wins. Pros. Cons. Is it a waste of time?
No. If you start your own though you get to make the rules. Keep out undesirables (Collectivists etc) and get to fashion a fancy title for yourself.
I do like that the Florida militia explicitly bans racist. On the one hand people can believe what they want. On the other, militias already get painted as right wing bigots so its best to get out in front of it.
Plus, can select your own fancy hat!
I’m a member of VCDL, although I don’t think that counts as a “militia”
It looks like more of a political group like the NRA or GOA. I’m not familiar with them though.
They’re an excellent 2A advocacy organization, far superior to the NRA.
I was in the National Guard for a while. I still wasn’t allowed to own cool guns or conceal-carry so I eventually left.
The carve outs go for the cops who are good members of the Union.
Why Trump Doesn’t Just ‘Send In the Troops’
An excellent detailed article about all the reasons why it’s a terrible idea.
Good read. Thanks for posting.
Can we have snipers just kill the real enemy that makes the endless riots possible then?
It very much depends on the militia organization, I suspect.
I’ve been thinking about poking around here in Southern AZ to see what’s on offer. There are definitely some semi-nutter border militias that I think I would avoid.
They could probably use the non-federal informant membership…

They aren’t even trying to hide the fact they are legitimized crime syndicate.
The Cuomo’s were ever hiding it?
Really seems like to me that going to New York for a day trip might be a Win-Win for Trump. If he get’s attacked, he can blame Cuomo and the dems for inciting it. If not Then he can just give a big fuck you to Andrew.
Also do some campaigning In New York
Yep, I think he would win Bigly!
In a just world, it’s you that’s hunted Andrew.
“Wish he could back that up.
Sadly, the mayor of NYC is a republican lackey.
The police unions are all in the trumpet’s pocket.”
WTF?
I can’t handle total retards (Yes, I used the r-word) anymore.
So who else thinks their should be a re-count of the Census. April 1 was prior to the mass exodus in NY, Nj, and CA.
Doesn’t matter. The blue states manage to convince FedGov to pull (larger) numbers out of their ass every census. Unless Trump is paying attention, it’ll happen again this time.
‘“We have been shut down for so long, not just me, but most of the small businesses and I just can’t – it’s a feeling – a feeling of being deflated, helpless and honestly beaten down,” Kious said.’

Vote for Biden and we’ll make this all go away!
2021 gonna be better than 2020?
Define “better”
General sense. Social trends. I suppose I could pretend about the personal.
Economically, I think the money printing is going to catch up with us and the reality of all the business destruction is going to set in. Stagflation, here we come.
Yeah. I’m not looking forward to when the collapse really sets in.
Yeah, the drop in business creation is going to be a huge problem and all the “help” from bureaucrats will only make matters worse, except for a few connected individuals they will later trot out as success stories to deflect from the actual statistics.
Define “better”
Worse.
The guy who made the mayan calendar was just dyslexic.
lol no
I like the wisdom of the old world. *Nods knowingly*
Hadn’t thought about it, but maybe not.
(1) The ‘Vid will be gone, although we may well apply the same lunatic controls to the flu season, so this may be only a marginal improvement.
(2) The economic damage currently masked by lunatic federal spending sprees will become more apparent.
(3) The downstream/knock-on damage of crushing entire sectors of the economy will set in.
(4) If Trump wins, the political and social chaos will continue, at best, and could well get worse.
(5) If the Dems win we’ll get an entirely different flavor of shitshow.
I’m not super-optimistic.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/trump-vs-biden-top-battleground-states-2020-vs-2016/
Interesting to see what happened in the polls, starting the day Democrats realized “hey polls look bad for us right now”.
So, on average, Biden is polling the exact same as Clinton did in 2016, and Trump is polling better now than he did in 2016. Is that the right interpretation?
It will be very interesting to see how this matches up with the last time.
The key question for me is “Are people more or less likely to publicly voice their support for Trump this year?”
Voter enthusiasm too. Are a lot of lefty types going to wake up on Election Day, take one last look at Biden, and say “Ahhhhh fuck it” and just stay home?
Stay home And vote by Mail?
Vote by mail is why Biden will not concede even if Trump wins in an electoral blowout, because after election day the Dems will know just how many mail in votes they need to manufacture in swing states to steal the election.
Ding. Ding.
And I suspect the idiot Repubs are completely unprepared for this.
Maybe. But a lot of lefties are going to wake up on Election Day, look at Trump and say “Fuck Him!”
I think less likely. The freakouts and rejection from people they had considered friends after Trump won caught a lot of his supporters off guard. They’ll keep quiet this time around.
No tailgating for you!
BLACKSBURG, Va. (WFXR) — While autumn and tailgating practically go hand-in-hand in a college town like Blacksburg, Virginia Tech announced Tuesday tailgating will be prohibited in both university and town parking lots and public spaces for the fall season in order to protect public health.
According to Virginia Tech’s news release on Tuesday, Sept. 1, this decision to prohibit tailgating applies not only to football games, but also any other fall sporting event such as soccer, volleyball, and cross country.
However, this ban on public tailgating does not prevent Hokie fans from cheering on their favorite team. In fact, Virginia Tech is asking football fans to “homegate” with family members or pandemic pods in order to enjoy each game in a safe way.
Hokies are stuck up, self-absorbed a-holes, but this is still stupid.
Now, I take a backseat to no one in hating Vippy Sue, but “stuck up” is not generally a term applied to them. That’s supposed to be our bailiwick at UVA.
Who the hell tailgates for a cross country meet?
you expect me to watch a track meet sober?
Good point.

Leon’s CK3 Review.
Overall:
A really great and enjoyable game. Keeps a lot of what made CK2 work, but expanding on areas where it was lacking. The ability to do a lot more kinds of schemes, and that it is no longer totally random as to when they fire is a huge boon. I’m a fan of roleplaying Medieval politics, so the addition of cadet branches in dynasties is exciting. No ruler designer is kinda a bummer, but they have promised that as a future free patch update.
Pros:
1. easier to handle Armies. In CK2 the armies were very abstract and so you ended up just making due with “having more men than the other guy”. Now combat seems much more strategic. Having more men is always a boon, but placing your armies in good terrain is now more important, as well as creating armies that fit the area you are going to be fighting.
2. Schemes: By selecting different focus paths, and picking perk points you can enable different schemes.
3. Intrigue/favors: Hugely improved. Being able to get favors that actually are worth something. CK2’s favor system was pretty piss poor IMO.
4. UI/Graphics: I was skeptical at first, but the UI is very slick, and very easy to use.
Cons:
1. Tooltips. The plentitude of tool tips can be a bit intrusive, but at least they are legible and readable.
2. Just two starting dates to choose from. Not a feature i used a lot, but having more options thatn 873 and 1066 would be nice.
In short: I give it a 5/5, but i’m a huge fan. If you only moderately enjoyed the previous, i would definitely recommend once the price point has reached something more acceptable to you.

Kevin Smith is still making movies, most recent was a reboot/remake of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. The previous two ones were “horror” films, Tusk and Yoga Hosers. Tusk is cheesily entertaining, Yoga Hosers is just bad. Flat out bad. There are no redeeming qualities in it at all.
The only entertaining part about tusk was the ending of them talking about why/how they made it.
My love for schlocky B horror films stands.
HERESY
A senior fellow at Stanford’s conservative Hoover Institution, Atlas is a neuroradiologist and not an expert on infectious diseases or pandemics.
But he is a frequent contributor to Fox News where he has called on schools to open, endorsed the return of college football, raised questions about mask wearing and spoken out against lockdowns and the “frenzy” of mass testing — all stances Trump has taken.
“You know that there’s no real good science on general population widespread in all circumstances wearing masks,” Atlas told Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Atlas also has pushed Trump’s non-scientific claims about children and coronavirus, telling Fox News earlier this month that children “have no risk for serious illness” and “they’re not significant spreaders.”
“If there’s no risk to children, no significant risk I should say, then what are you protecting them from? If kids get the infection in this school that’s still okay,” Atlas said Thursday in a sit-down interview with the conservative outlet Sinclair Broadcast Group.
While the effects of the virus on children are inconclusive at this time, a contact tracing study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that young people between ages 10 and 19 are more likely to spread the coronavirus in households, where other family members may be more susceptible to severe symptoms.
——-
And his arrival at the White House comes after months of Trump often being at odds with task force experts who did not echo his views on the pandemic and precautions — most notably Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert.
In July, the president called Fauci “a little bit of an alarmist” to which Fauci responded, “I consider myself more of a realist.”
——-
The last time Fauci joined Trump at a White House coronavirus task force briefing was April 22. Since then, he has had to resort to doing multiple television and online interviews in order to get his message out and to answer questions.
President Cartoon Villain has invited an apostate into the Church of Public Health! Is there no depravity to which he will not sink?
Poor Foochy. Why won’t Trump obey him?
” he has had to resort to doing multiple television and online interviews”
Yeah, every time he’s taken the podium at the White House Press Room he’s been in shackles and has never been able to speak and answer questions he calls for.
I guess those goalposts won’t move themselves.
Atlas is a neuroradiologist and not an expert on infectious diseases or pandemics
Of course, Fauci trained as a primary care doctor, so exactly the same can be said about him.
Of course, one can be acquire expertise outside of one’s board specialty.
Unpossible!
Unless you have a piece of paper you can’t have expertise.
“non-scientific claims about children and coronavirus,”
This is a lie.

My governor’s ads focus on black people talking about being tough on crime, and claiming the opposition is being funded by those who want to de-fund the police. They’re compelling ads, and they were smart to use black people (pandering?), but I wonder if that’s my confirmation bias.
On the opposition’s side we have a woman who really did do some good in this state (especially my county) by exposing and cutting waste. There was quite a bit of corruption/incompetence in my county and she came in with a daisy cutter. But she wants “affordable” health care (which means single-payer in libspeak) and she would have mandated masks instead of “doing nothing.”
My governor left it up to the people to decide about shuttering their businesses/wearing masks, then the municipalities and counties stepped in with their mandates, saying “wear your masks” but it was a matter of personal responsibility.
It was always up to us here. Most people wore masks and some business put up plastic sheets, but it was always on you to do what you thought was right. Amazing how the most “muh freedom!” states in the US were light years away from the amount of freedom we were allowed.
Not to mention government saying they didn’t have the power or authority under the law to order certain things. And then pass a law allowing the government to declare a state of emergency. Not to agree with it necessarily, but it’s a damn sight better than executives unilaterally exercising power.
You own a governor? How much you pay him to do your bidding?

Q.E.D.
Welp, she just lost the votes of everyone in that district who moved there from MN.
There’s literally white people calling her “coon”. These people are insane.
this is why I scoff at the “racism is dead” people. It’s not dead, it’s just hiding under a thin veneer of political animus in most cases.
They literally think they own black people. Just waiting for one of them to use the word “uppity”.
For people who like to prattle on about “cognitive dissonance”, there sure are a lot of pasty motherfuckers telling black people how to be black.
Damn, I’m only a stone’s throw away from living in the district she’s running for (though that doesn’t say much, as I live in or close to 5 of MD’s 8 districts; remember kids, gerrymandering is something only Republicans can do). Sadly, my district will be won by
nepotic dumbfuckJohn Sarbanes, who lives way on the other side of Baltimore from me.I just learned today I live a block away from fucking Jerry Nadler’s district. Part of the gerrymandering runs under the East River and along the Brooklyn shore for a couple miles in order to connect Manhattan’s Upper West Side to southern Brooklyn.
In the news that will shock noone the lockdown till vaccine crowd is putting out the messaging that it won’t take the vaccine because it’s rushed.
What’s the usual development and testing cycle, ten years or so?
For vaccines, probably not that long. I would guess 3 years?
I think 10 years is a safe best. Longer in some cases. Just one phase-3 trial could easily take 3 years by itself with study set-up, recruitment, and data analysis.
There are also post-marketing surveillance studies, which I would absolutely wait for before taking a drug unless I was desperate (oncology for example), but a vaccine can be licensed before the PMS studies are complete.
Hmm. I’ll have to look up the development times for all the other vaccines out there already for the other kinds of coronavirus. That’d probably be a good guide…

Argument-by-assertion
TW: Froma Harrop
Many of us lit candles and prayed that Sweden’s approach to the coronavirus would succeed. As the rest of Europe locked down, Sweden stayed mostly open. Its plan was to keep vulnerable people separate while letting the virus infect the others, thus creating herd immunity — a large proportion of people no longer able to spread the disease. Meanwhile, everyone would go about their business, and the economy wouldn’t suffer.
The Swedish example could have offered deliverance from mask wearing, closed gyms and fights over when to open schools. But it didn’t work.
Sweden has recorded about 571 virus deaths per million, more than even our 563 deaths per million. Its formerly locked-down Scandinavian neighbors have reported far, far lower mortality, while their economies are doing just as well, if not better. Guess disease and death are bad for business.
And despite the suffering, Sweden is nowhere near achieving herd immunity, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, writes in The Wall Street Journal. Neither are we.
——-
One might wish otherwise, but the only way to contain this virus is to follow the bothersome guidelines: Wear masks in public. Maintain social distancing. Test and trace.
They are also key to boosting public confidence in any reopening. Bringing back Dr. Anthony Fauci as America’s prime voice on the pandemic would further reassure Americans that someone in power is serious about this.
Trump will do none of the above. But you already knew that.
Eventually, we’ll have a vaccine, and — this is another prayer — a competent leader in the White House. At that point, it’s back to a kind of normal as we tend to hurting businesses, restore jobs, grieve losses and deal with those still suffering side effects of the disease.
We’ll just make these declaratory statements about anything we wish. It’s not as if anybody is going to make an effort to put them in context. We need to be told what to do, otherwise… CHAOS.
If Sweden had zero deaths, they would find some way to invalidate the results.
Bwahaha.
How is Sweden “nowhere near herd immunity”?
Man look at their graph.
They are completely open, have been for many months, and cases are at the floor.
Bad testing! Bad, bad bad! Naughty Sweden!
“more than even our 563 deaths per million”
I assume the our refers to the US? That’s actually a pretty good performance, especially considering how our CV deaths are classified. Go play in traffic Froma.
It’s possible that he’s using some scientific metric for “herd immunity” and they haven’t met that.
But he’s completely up his own ass.
Sweden is open. For many months. And there is no covid.
Game. Set. Match.
I suppose he could argue it’s going to “come back” from basically the floor, but how is this argument different from places with strict lockdowns? If it comes back from basically zero, then those places will too eventually.
It’s possible that he’s using some scientific metric for “herd immunity” and they haven’t met that.
I’m sure its the sum of people who tested positive for teh virus and people who tested positive for antibodies.
Which utterly ignores cross-immunity and baseline T-cell immunity.
Its formerly locked-down Scandinavian neighbors have reported far, far lower mortality, while their economies are doing just as well, if not better.
The first statement is true. The second, I have seen no evidence one way or the other.
Interesting question on whether looking only at its neighbors is cherry-picking, or whether the EU as a whole is a better comparison. Sweden is pretty middle-of-the-pack for deaths in the EU, and its economy has taken less damage.
Test and trace.
Contact tracing is utterly pointless at this stage. Contact tracing’s sole function is to warn people who have been exposed to someone infectious. At this point, the virus is so widespread you can’t attribute an infection to a given exposure, outside of very limited circumstances where the infected person has been essentially secluded with very few contacts for the two week period before they test positive.
A quick glance at demographics on Wikipedia tells me Sweden has much more immigration than their Scandinavian neighbors. I’ve also seen a story about Covid hitting those communities hard in Sweden, which would seem to be in line with the rest of Europe. I would think it makes more sense to compare to EU. Also, I know we’re talking about per capita rates but it’s probably worth noting that Sweden is about twice the size of Norway and Denmark as well.
As far as I can tell, the key to beating COVID is to have low immigration and/or be an ethnostate. Western Europe and the Americas have the highest numbers of COVID deaths per capita. The correlation between ethnic diversity* and COVID deaths in countries is pretty strong.

“Pelosi’s stylist claims hair appointment WAS a ‘political’ set up and his boss knew about appointment – but the salon owner denies tricking speaker and says her business is ‘done’ because of ‘hypocrite’ Democrat”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8693103/Nancy-Pelosis-stylist-comes-defence.html
I’m going to need more string.
Boss seems to be incorrect. This salon appears to be ones like my wife was talking about, stylists are independent contractors renting space from the business owner. When they move to a new salon, they take their clients with them. It’s not a barbershop where the cutters work for the owner.
The stylist here obviously doesn’t want to lose Pelosi or anyone else as a client. Given that, the story makes complete sense.
I’ll be honest here. Even when hair salons were “locked down” in my great state of TX my wife still did this with her hairdresser. Her hairdresser was going broke, and she felt bad for her since they’ve become friends. They didn’t bother with facemasks. Later, we all died of covid.
Admittedly, this was early before we knew that face masks had magical powers to save everyone from covid.
Also, Texas breezed through most of its lockdown stages quickly. Praise Allah.
It’s not that what Pelosi did was wrong. That’s the funny thing. It isn’t. It’s completely fine. It’s just that she favors a NATIONAL FACEMASK LAW amongst other things. She’s a total fucking hypocrite. And her response to being caught? Redonkulous.
If pelosi wasn’t railing against Trump’s dangerous reopening rhetoric and demanding face mask usage I’d have no beef and this wouldn’t be a story at all. But she was and she is. Fuck that cunt.
Even then this didn’t move my needle much. Politician.
Now that she’s tried to claim it was a setup and she was wronged? Holy shit. I hate that bitch.
It’s that Pelosi and other Dems will solemnly lecture about the supreme importance of lockdowns and wearing face diapers while, at the same time, doing whatever the fuck they want.
Its the difference between being governed, and being ruled.
They are our rulers. Rulers are sovereigns who can do whatever they please, regardless of the restrictions they impose on the people they rule.
I know ass-covering when I see it.
And even if it was a set-up, Nancy still broke the rules, and something something ignorance of the law something something.
I suspect that each of the stylists have a key to the business where they rent space, and that’s why the owner said she couldn’t do anything about it.
There are people defending pelosi and trying to say this story is a nothingburger, I just can’t with these partisan fucking hacks. Trumps CDC just fucked landlords that is also a big story and he is a fucking scumbag for it. Why the fuck can’t people criticize their team when they are clearly in the wrong and just the worst kind of blatant and rank hypocrisy.
I read Pelosi’s response as a thinly veiled, “nice salon ya got there, be a damn shame if something were to happen to it.” I think the owner knows she is done for anyone and just said screw it. Not surprising that Pelosi doesn’t actually believe that masks do much. Yesterday, I learned from of of the delivery guys that stocks the store across the street that there is a private club for the richies and politicos (supposedly Greasy Gav is a member) that is currently hopping busy. He said that at 1 am the other nite he saw all kinds of done up chicks jumping into Ubers out front after a night clubbing there. Currently all indoor bars and clubs are still closed after six months here. It’s nice to be connected.
Pretty much. That’s fucking disgusting. It be a shame if TMZ or someone stood outside and recorded every person walking in and out of there and posted it online for the plebes to see.
Sounds like a great opportunity for some undercover video.
So- what you’re saying is he’s a sociopath
In a larger sense, Atlas is concerned with the major role that fear has played in public messaging throughout the pandemic. “It’s stemming from a massive amount of fear bordering on hysteria. And this is a real problem because public policy is supposed to be taking into consideration not just stopping COVID-19 at all costs but understanding the impact on people of what you do and what you say. And that’s been a failure of some of the people who are speaking out on this … we need to live in a rational world, and we need to show people that we use critical thinking …. the reality is, there are reasons to wear a mask.”
Dr. Atlas has a calm approach, one that relies on data analysis and reasoning. And if he is accused of under-reacting, there is certainly plenty of saber-rattling around to balance him out. So far, he appears to be working well with the virologists, including Dr. Fauci and has done his best to integrate with the team.
Keep fear alive! Don’t take the boot off their faces.
It’s difficult for me to imagine anything dumber than my state’s current mask rules.
You wear a mask to walk into the threshold of your restaurant or gym. Go to your spot. Take it off.
How dumb do you have to be to believe this does anything?
We’ve done this for months now.
There is a reason I do not participate in Convid-1984 mask minstrel theater.
After I did my first restaurant I realized having my face mask on for exactly 10 seconds was no big deal.
You only spread the virus when you’re waiting for a table, never when eating.
It’s a polite virus that way
If it was just me risking getting in trouble I wouldn’t either. But there have been several bars and restaurants up here that have been getting in trouble and threatened with losing their liquor licenses for not enforcing the rules. I really don’t want to make things harder for them to prove a point. Seems a bit of a dick move on my part.
From one of my new favorite youtube channels – South Main Auto Repair. Small independent shop in upstate NY that puts out real car repair vehicles. He actually explains his diagnosis and doesn’t just swap parts. Others seem to agree as I’m amazed he has almost 500k subscribers.
This Can Turn On Your Check Engine Light!?
So for most of us in states with emissions inspections for this vehicle a busted heater motor will activate the MIL or “check engine light” and make you fail inspection. In some bizzare in the way the auto comes to operating temperature it must momentarily reduce emissions. Unreal. For the rest of us it just increases the cost of operating vehicles.
I’m Joe Biden and I forgot this message.
But seriously everyone. Joe really cares about us. Banal platitudes and all.

Mornin’ Banjos, sorry I slept through the lynx.
ZTE announces the world’s first phone with a behind-the-screen camera No notches and no camera cutouts—it’s the holy grail of selfie camera design.
First comment nailed my thinking.
“Finally, phone manufacturers can truly focus on the most important thing above all else. No, not silly shit like Android update policy, battery life, water proofing, performance per watt, or other such frivolities.”
How am I supposed to cover it with electrical tape?
The same way you access the headphone jack on an iPhone 7
Before the advent of iphone/android, I had a Samsung flip phone that could go two weeks without a recharge.
My next phone will be the same as my current one but five or six iterations later and now it targets cheap people. Couldn’t care less about the camera or most of the other whiz-bang feature-itis.
There is one thing I care about above all else and that is getting the damn security updates for the life of the phone. My phone is connected to my primary email account and anybody who compromises the phone can compromise most if not all of my accounts by password reset. Oh, yes sir, we’ll send a one-time use code to the same mobile phone that just tried to unlock the account because “two factor” is mostly just cargo cult bullshit.
