A pastor called coronavirus "mass hysteria" and now he is dead. That's really sad. I just think so many Trumpers are going to cognitive dissonance their loved ones' deaths, just like gun people whose kids kill themselves with guns don't even get rid of their guns. (For the record the pastor's loved ones, or at least his daughter, seem to be saying YES CORONAVIRUS IS NOT HYSTERIA, so that's good.) Just sigh. — Friendly Atheist
Ah so THIS is what Trump was referring to in yesterday's presser his inimitable brain-injured way:
"I don't want you to be the backup quarterback, we need you to be Tom Brady here," Inslee replied, invoking the football star and Trump friend.
I figured it was something like that when y'all were talking about it in the comments; I ain't watch that shit, please. Anyway, the AP link to a whole bunch of governors licking Trump's as is above.
The New York Times says there's a sneaky payday — oh just $170 billion worth — for real estate investors in the stimulus bill, but that can't be right!

Which is a great time to post THIS, which is an even better letter to me than my previous favorite 20 years ago, when Mary in Rancho Santa Margarita wrote in that I would die alone scrawling my columns on toilet paper in a motel room encrusted with cat shit:
Rebecca,
We support Wonkette monthly and send extra love your way when we can. You and your writers are gifted, committed precious assets of truth now and always.
We donated to your gofundme but wanted to share with you that we were so inspired by your generosity and quick action we did a mini assistance offer of cash on our local NextDoor. I got as many messages from people who wanted to do something similar as I did from folks who are struggling. And a few assholes who told me I was stupid because people will lie and also break into my house. One jerk even offered to sell me a gun.
Neither my husband, myself or my autistic 6 year old qualify for the govt checks- not wealthy but comfortable and husband works for a tech company with job security. So we matched the $1200 the govt isn't sending us and gave 6 families in our immediate area cash assistance.
We just wanted you to know that you are a leader by example and also a national treasure, and maybe we need to take up a peloton fund for Evan bc he might go crazy if he can't work out.
Our love
Meg and John
Fuckin' WHO'S your national treasure, you dicks? IT ME.

I love you very much.
