"In response to the calls of the Trump idiots and of the Idiot in Chief
himself to go back to work, there have been conversations on various
construction worker Facebook pages. Here's some of them...

"I don't want to give a false impression. These comments got a lot of
support, but also some of the idiots. Finally, I got sick of all the idiots
and made the following suggestion:

“Now here's another thought for all you freedom-loving Christians: You
should all get together in one or another megachurch and pray really hard
and really loud. Pack yourselves in as close as you possibly can. And lock
the doors and close all the windows. After all, you wouldn't want the holy
spirit to escape.

"If any of you doesn't feel well and starts coughing, then all gather round
him or her to offer up your prayers" Read more here:

One thing perplexing about the current situation is this: Does the DNC 
really even want to win? Continued, generalized venom abounds in their 
treatment towards the left and even Sanders exudes petulant bitchiness 
towards his own previous staffers and surrogates. I’m thinking in 
particular of his statement in regard to Briahna Joy Gray when asked 
about her refusal to endorse Biden. He snarkily said “She is my former 
press secretary—not on the payroll.” One shouldn’t be surprised though, 
because he did the same treatment to surrogate Zephyr Teachout. She had 
an op-ed piece awhile back saying that Biden had a corruption problem. 
Bernie apologized….to Biden.  Bernie is very good at letting down his 
supporters. He would be the dad you come home to and complain that a 
bully beat you up. He would listen with attention and care, but then 
march you over to the bully’s house to apologize for sinking to the 
bully’s level.

Fear that covid-19 will plunge Brazil into an economic abyss has driven 
Jair Bolsonaro to an extremity of delirium. There is no parallel 
anywhere in South America, or perhaps even beyond it, for the 
conduct—political, economic, psychological—of our President. Aper and 
servitor of Donald Trump, he has taken the erratic performance of his 
idol to a peak that mixes morbidity and desperation, beckoning national 
tragedy.

Coronavirus footnote1 is the old movie that we’ve been watching over and 
over again since Richard Preston’s The Hot Zone (1994) introduced us to 
the exterminating demon, born in a mysterious bat cave in Central 
Africa, known as Ebola. It was the first in a succession of new diseases 
erupting in the ‘virgin field’ (that’s the proper term) of humanity’s 
inexperienced immune systems. Ebola was soon followed by avian 
influenza, which jumped to humans in 1997, and sars, which emerged at 
the end of 2002; both initially appeared in Guangdong, the world’s 
manufacturing hub. Hollywood, of course, lustfully embraced these 
outbreaks and produced a score of movies to titillate and scare us. 
(Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion, released in 2011, stands out for its 
accurate science and eerie anticipation of the current chaos.) In 
addition to these films, and the innumerable lurid novels, hundreds of 
serious books and thousands of scientific articles have responded to 
each outbreak, many emphasizing the appalling state of global 
preparedness to detect and respond to such novel diseases.

The coronavirus arrival in Slovenia coincided with the change in 
government from centrist to right-wing parties. Using the epidemic as an 
excuse, the new leading Slovenian Democratic Party, SDS – closely linked 
with Hungarian Fidesz – turned the change in power into an 
all-encompassing power grab. The country is thus facing an attempt to 
transition from a parliamentary democracy to a non-liberal authoritarian 
regime, following the Orban playbook. While people are banned from 
public gatherings due to the outbreak and usual political life is 
suspended, the peripheral capitalism of Slovenia is trying to 
consolidate with authoritarian means, amounting to a coup.

VERSION 2.0

PART OF THE WAY WITH JB

SDS was known in 1964 for rationalizing their call to vote for LBJ using
the slogan "Part of the Way with LBJ", a play on the Lyndon Baines Johnson
campaign slogan "All the Way with LBJ."  Today's 'old new left' SDS
letter-signers have come together to say "Part of the Way with JB", Joe
Biden.

I respected the letter signers (those i knew of) in the 1960s but i
wouldn't ask them for political advice today.  Some of them have been
consistently giving bad political advice since the sixties, i.e. Todd
Gitlin and Carl Davidson.
