monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

They have no reason to add that other crap either. I have listed all of that crap through sources. Show me the bailout you speak of with the legal literature to back it.

It appears, so far at least, that the nickel has not dropped on that one.

I don't take orders from you. As for your customary sources . . . Ah-hahahahahahahahahaha . . . you crack me up.

Those sources showed the legislation. Those are facts. And it was not an order, you are too defensive, and I think burnt out.

Huh . . . I've never seen any evidence of that.

Most likely due to your condition.

The so-called black death of the 14th century killed about 50,000,000 world wide. Two hundred million would have been nearly half of the entire human population of the planet. Additionally, the Great Mortality (which is what the English called it, and that term was roughly the same in all the European languages of the day) also very likely included anthrax. Anthrax spores have been found in mass graves of the era. Anthrax accounts for how the death toll spread to isolated, rural villages, given that rats, the vector of the plague, would neither live long enough to cross the green belt to remote villages, nor survive the numerous predators which would have pounced on them once they left any urban area.

I'm not going to waste time on the rest of that cartoon's bullsh*t. I will note how heavily the supporters of Plump rely on third rate commercial artist hacks for cartoons--very likely the only thing that most Plump supporters can read and understand.

This cartoonist is not a Trump fan, Einstein.

It's still being put together. But the only reference to the gun control bill has come from McGentrix. I haven't seen it mentioned in the news stories about the negotiations and it wouldn't surprise me if there were a lot less there than the right would have us believe.

I'd be very careful about believing what you hear from the right when it comes to the provisions of this stimulus bill. From what I've read, the introduction of the gun control bill was done independently and has nothing to do with the stimulus package. With only eighteen co-sponsors it doesn't look like it's a priority for Democrats at this time.

Indeed, the term "black death" was not used in the Middle Ages - contemporary (German speaking) chroniclers spoke of the "great dying" (große Sterben) or the "great pestilence" (große Pestilenz).

The German doctor Justus Friedrich Karl Hecker - under the impression of the currently rampant cholera epidemic - his published in 1832 Der schwarze Tod im vierzehnten Jahrhundert ("The Black Death in the Fourteenth Century") on the 1347-1353 pandemic.
That book attracted a great deal of attention. It was translated into English in 1833 and reprinted several times in the following years.
The terms "Black Death" or "Schwarzer Tod" thus became established as the term for the 14th century pandemic, especially in the English and German-speaking world.

It's not just on Pelosi. This is a total system failure. No one has fought back on the Dem side. They are all just letting this corporate coup happen.

Pelosi simply chose not to have the House in session, and chose not to play a role in one of the biggest legislative packages of our lifetimes with massive Constitutional ramifications. It's the most colossal political failure I've ever seen.

Also, the Mnuchin fund is going to be leveraged against the Fed balance sheet 10:1, so this is more like a $6 trillion bill, with most of it going to big business. It's a coup. America is not going to be recognizable after this.

Congratulations to all the 70+ year old Trump supporters (current death rate for 70-79 is 30%, 80+ is 50%). This should really help Social Security’s liquidity and most of our retirement accounts. Just wondering if he’s checked his own birth date recently?

Which stage of capitalism is it where we sacrifice our grandparents for the good of the stock market?

Texas Lt Gov Dan Patrick went on national tv & argued elderly people should die for the health of the market. Capitalism is a system that priorities profits over people. This fight is literally a matter of life or death. Battle lines are being drawn. Which side are you on?

There will be a general strike in response.

Let’s leave it up to the doctors. There shouldn’t be any “If”s about that.

.@KaitlanCollins: “You said it’s likely going to be weeks, not months, before you suggest easing these guidelines...Have any of the doctors on your team told you that’s the right path to pursue?”

TRUMP: “If it were up to the doctors, they would say let’s keep it shut down.”

Whose going to strike? Doctors? Nurses? Teachers? Police? Restaurant workers? Gambling casino employees? Cruise ship stewards?

My bet is on no one.

If it were up to Plump, all of us could rot, as long as he is not exposed to the virus.
